POORLY LAID TRACKS ASSASSINS OF PAVING City Engineer Says It Is a Cause of Bad Streets. Cheaply laid tracks are the assas sins of paving. This Is the essence of an Interview with City Engineer R. M. Clayton. When rails are not properly laid,' said Captain Clayton, when asked for the reason why the streets were so badly mutilated where the paving join ed the street railway tracks, "the vibration shakes the paving, the dust gels between the rails and the paving and this causes It to bulge. During the warm weather wagons passing along the street! mash this down and make ruta and when the cool weather cornea on. the paving becomes brittle and the wagons crush It.” Captain Clayton stated further that rails properly laid and ballasted vi brated to no damaging extent. The Interview on this subject was brought about by the deplorable atate of the streets In certain sectlona of the city. Without exception, ft has been found that near the street car tracka where the paving has been down any length of time the paving, If concrete or similar aubatance, la either broken to a dangerous extent or roughened by Constant repair. These repairs are made by the city The Injury la done by the Georgia Railway and Electric Company. Captain Clayton stated further that In some Instances there was no ballast on the railway tracka. The tracks have been laid and pinged to the tlea and the aaphalt poured over It. In AGENT OF PACKERS CALLS ON WILSON Washington, kept. H —The Chicago pack era. represented by James B. Wilson, had conference today with Secretary of Agrf culture Wilson, Senator Hopkins, of fill qols, wss slsn present. The tuckers desired tlon.

The president referred them luck to the •eret * ■ -- — * “ ' thnt i labels ... „ Immedlstely sflsr the nsrne . „ I deserlptlnn nf how the meat Is prepared, whether actually roasted ar parboiled and •teamed. other Instances the ballasting has been done, but In a cheap manner. In many cities, special ordinances provide for the manner of laying the tracks. In some the railways are com pelled to keep up repairs. Atlanta lacks both these laws. Charles D'AlvIgny, connected with the city engineering department In the capacity of Inapector, and who has spent many yeara of his life In the study of street pavings, stated that all tracks should be laid on concrete base to alleviate the vibration. Mr. D'AI- vlgny has also watched with a trained eye the duat theory and declares that the vibration of the rails allowing the duat to enter between the rails and the paving la, In almoat every Instance, the cause of the disrepair. This matter along with the numer- ornus others cited In The Oeorglan, will probably be used as an argument for more strlngont control of the street railway company.
