DECIDE ON CEMENT
OWNERS DECIDE ON CEMENT
NITRIFTED CLAY DRAIN TILE
COSTS TOO MUCH.

Late yesterday afternoon the com
missioners decided on cement tile for
bitches Nos. 2, 8, 4. : and 10. on the
unanimous voice of the owners of
land affected thereby. The decision
had been practically made for ce-
ment tile last week, but a doubt
arose as to the durability of this
material in the presence of alkalies.
and the commissioners Immediately
called several of the land owners in
and had them make the decision.
They felt that this was the only fair
way to dispose of the doubt, mas
much as il is the owners who are to
pay for the drainage.
There is no doubt that alkalies
affect cement tile" asserted City
Engineer C. A. Trimmer this morn
ing. And the government has made
continual and exhaustive tests to
demonstrate to what extent. A piece
of the cement, soaked for a few min
utes in water, when broken across,
showed a penetration of water to q
considerable depth. This demon
strates that the per cent of moisture
that they will absorb TO be of a high
per cent. The only thing that will
prevent the deterioration of the tile
is the low moun of alkali in the
soil"
Contracts will now be completed
with the successful bidder, and all
necessary preparations made to rush
the work to completion as soon as the
weather makes it possible.
