WHAT CHERT 18.

Th* Materia! That Promises to Solve
toe Street Paving Problem.
The chert mines of the Wodlsy Con¬
tinuous Drawbar Company, says the
Savannah Morning News, are locat¬
ed on the Chattanooga, Rome and
Columbus division of the Central
railroad, about forty-four miles
South of Chattanooga. Chert con¬
sists of limestone, flint rock and nat-
nral cement in a disintegrated form.
The application of water to this ma¬
terial causes it to harden almost to
solid rock, only tbs smaller particles
of flint being brought to the suiface
by vehicles passing over it, and these
merging into the rest of the material
when watered.
It is not dusty. The limestone
and flint rock, being glued firmly to¬
gether by the natural element, are
not easily disturbed and stay on tbe
ground. Between the asphalt, last is preferable oyster
shells and chert,
on this account.
Several road crossings on the Cen¬
tral railroad, which it has been im¬
possible to keep in good order, have
been laid with chert and are now in
splendid condition. running Eight mites through of
the C. R. A C. R. R.,
what is termed the “Flatwoods,”
near Rome, a low piece of land along
the river bottom, hud given a great
deal of trouble on account of the
soil slipping from under the ties,
making it ootb uncomfortable to
ride and unsafe to operate. This
part of tho road has been ballasted
with chert and is now probably the
beet piece of track on that road.
A portion of Mulberry street in
Macon has been paved with it aud is
probably the best pavement in that
city. Tbe floor of the Macon passen¬
ger shed is laid with it, and although
it when appears exposed to tbe the best weather, advantage it
to is
conceded that no better looking or
cheaper floor could have been ob¬
tained. Montgomery has streets
paved with chert from mines in Ala¬
bama, which have given eminent
satisfaction. Chattanooga is pre¬
paring to pave with cbert, and any
place where it has ever been used will
(tear witness as to its fitness for
paving purposes. of its introduction
For the puipose
in Savannah, it can be purchased by
the city for tbe cost of transporta¬
tion and mining. One square yard
laid to a depth of six inches,
which is sufficient to obtain tbe best
results, can be hougbt for 44 cents,
or less than one-sixth tbe cost of
asphalt. The cost of laying amounts
to almost nothing, very little grad¬
ing being required. The only thing
ntceesary is to damp it on the
ground, sprinkle with water, then
run a roller over it to get a smooth
surface. It will then stick together.
Its adhesive quality is demonstrated
by the faet that some ears of it have
been rained on, while being moved
by the Central road, and becoming
dry on the cars tbe chert could not
be handled with shovels, but had to
be taken off with picks. A part of
New street is now being paved by
the Central railroad, and wbeu com¬
pleted wilt be an object lesson for
Savannah in tbe matter of paving.
There is sufficient cbert at the
mines to pave all the streets in Geor¬
gia, and its discovery promises togo
a long ways toward solving the
problem of good and cheap streets
aud roads.
