The following very interesting report of the Superintendent of Streets, &c., was transmi! ted to the Board ef Common Council last even- img by the Mayor: Proposed System of Street Improvement for the City oft Washington, with @ Description of the Princ) ie Pavements now in Use Much of the prosperity of a city depends upon its having good streets, They are ite veins and arteries. Through them flows its commerce, and @loag them passes its throng. ‘The poor and rich alike Mave a common inter- est in and enjoy the advantages resultiug trom well paved and clean streets. The streets of this city are perhaps worse ved and worse kept than those of any other ‘arge city m the United States, although the whole nation has a common interest in them, and in the general improvement of the capital. There are severai reasons which may be as- signed for this, one of the principal being the great area of streetage compared with the tax- able property. Several plans have been proposed to meet the Mficulty and improve the wide streets and venues. lamin favor of having the space , formed by the intersection of the prin- pal avenues with the streets, enclosed and laid out as pleasure grounds. ‘There ary nineteen of the avenues from 1) ©) feet wide, and twenty-one of the str from 100 to 160 feet wide.

It will be admitted that the most indispensa- ble feature of public streets is that of good pavements. I will therefore proceed to make ‘8 few remarks in reference to them ‘The first and one of the most important ob- jects to be attained in laying pavements is to Secure 8 foundation of sufficieat depth, and of some incompressible material, which will cut off all connection bet ween the pavement and the subsoil. If this is not properly attended to, the sarface of the pavement will Soon become une- ven, the street almost impassable, and a nui: ance, instead of a public good. Several methods have been employed to form foundations for pavements; sand, b-oken stone, pebbles and concrete being the principal material used. Sand.—Good sand, free from clay. makes one of the best foundations; it is incompressible to & great degree, readily assumes a new equi- Livrium when distured, and communicates pressure over @ very large area, hence cular fitness for foundations of pavements. Broken Stone.—The best foundatien of this waterial 13 made by putting down a layer of four inches on the street, when this has become firm. another layer is added, and worked in as before, and then a third. After the whole has been properly worked down and assumes a uniform surface, a layer of fine gravel or coarse sand is added, it 1s then ready for the pave. ment. The time required to lay this founda- tion is @ serious objection to its use. Concre‘e.—Common concrete is a mixture of quicklime, sand, and gravel; this kind of foun- dation 18 very good, but it iS too expensive to admit of being recommended for general ase. ‘Yo make a concrete foundation thoroaghly eM™- cient and lasting, it must be so strong thet it ‘Will not break under heavy pressure, but to effect this such a thickness of the material is Tequired as to render the expense enormous. ‘The practice of laying the new pavement on top of the old has been tried extensively in Paris, and found to work well; but in order to obtain & unitorm surface it is necessary to reisy the old pavement. and when this has been done, a coating of sand and gravel is added, then the foundation is complete. The nse of this also is too great. ‘aking into comsideration the comparative merits ot the various kinds of foundations, I feel no hesitation in recommending sand « Ubst which is best adapted to the req uireme of this city; such & fonndaiion should be put down im layers, each 4 inches thick. the sand well moistened aud thoroughly rammed with a heavy rammer. The number of layers will be determined by the nature ot the substratum, and the contemplated amount of wear aud tear. Porements.—The object of paving is to give to the street s solid and even surface. wi Will not easily wear out. The indispen Tequisites of & £001 pavement are a flat sur- face, @ firm foothold for norses, durability. cleanliness, freedom trom noise, facility for taking up Sud relaying, &c. The materials mow in use for pavements are principally stone, wood, iron, brick and conerete. Iron bas never been successfully used, and bric! is ovly snitable for footways. I will there- fore confine myself to the consideration of stome, concrete and wood. The stone best adapted to this purpose is one of the hard kinds, which is least liable to become smooth from wear, such as granite, whinstone. bard limestone, hard freestone, or some of the kindred formations. Cobble stones have been much used, but they make a very inferior, and im every way disagreeable pave- ment. The greatest objection to cobbie stone pavements, And in fact to all pavements mide of irregular blocks or pieces of stone, is thnt too small » surface of the stones come in con- tact with each other when laid to give the necessary mutuxl support. They are supported only by the friction of the small espace where they come in contact with each Other Interaily; bence the stones are ensily pressed down by loads; and ruts aad holes are formed. Other objections to such Pavements are that friction, collision and the force of traction is very great. These facts have been abundantly verified by experi- ction With the pavements in our . Good pavements have been laid in indelpbia, of dressed cubes of stone eight rs mM every direction, slightly tapering to- wards the lower ends. at a cost of $5.25 per uare yard. foundation of sand inclaced.

This consists of restanga- jar blocks cf granite. 19 to 18 wches long. 5 to i2 inches wide, and 10 mnches deep. The bio. are laid diagonally, at an angle of 45 de; withthe Hine of the street, The cos: of layiag this kind of pavement in New York city teu Years Ago Was from $5 to $6 per sqaare yard. ‘The Belgian pavement 1 composed of dress- ed rectangular blocks of steue slightly wedze- shaped, laid on & good sand foundation, the pavement surface of the blocks being cou vex. ‘The Belging and the Kuss possess more ad- vantages ban any other of the stone paye- ments in use, but the use 0: both of these has demonstrated the fact that water fiads is way through between the blocks, and sinks into the foundation, Which soon becomes soft: conse- quently the stones settle unequally, and the suriace becomes uneven. Ip this city, where there is comparatively litle heavy drayage, and consequently less pressure om pavements than tn some ot the large commercial cities, | do mot think that massive aud expensive stone pavements are needed. What we require is smooth, clean streets, suitable for light vehicles. Concrete has its advocates. This material has been lait by Thornton Smith m several Parts of the city, and may be seen toad vantage sronnd the new Agricultural Build av agreeable Teis composed of Dard gra: ber coal tar, and cement.

Asection of i: bas been laid at the northeast imtersection of Pennsyle ith street wes’. ol 8en c sofa superstructure otone Plank coated with tar. and an upper stra. tum of blocks, witheat sectious, the blocks are six mehes long. three inches thick, and from six to ten inches wide, placed on end in rows trom. curb to curb, with the broad face froatiag up 8nd down ihe stree’, and so arranged as to break joints. The rows are separated by strips of planks, which bave grooves three-quarters of an inch wide and three incnes deep. These grooves are filled with bot gravel, coal tar and Pitch, well rammed. The suriace is coated ‘with eoal tar, pitch and sand. This pavement has been iaid in many of our western cities; also, in Philadelphia, New York, and Brook- lyn to some extent. The Stofford is composed of Iron and wood. ‘The base is of cast iron, made into sections of one square yard, with a ber of celle: blocks prepared by machinery and saturated ath tar, are forced into the célis, The sections are held together by means of staples or clamps ¢ pins. The plan of forming the sections been modified by more recent letters patent to the inventor; metallic bands b-- ing substituted for the cellular sections, The sections are placed on stringers twoinches thick, and six inches wide, laid transversely to the line of the street, distance of three feet = The whole is coated with hot tar and sand. Fayrtie is formed of sections, each section being composed of blocks of wood joined together by means of rods or bolts ruuning through them transversely. The sections are locked together by means of tongues and grooves; the tongue of one section fitting into the groove of another, so that the pressure on ope fection is communicated to the others. In the sections the outer blocks are two or More mehes longer than the centre ones in order that they may become embedded in the sand foundation and thus secure stability. Tie Kean consists ot a sub-structure and a sectional upper stratum. The sub-structure is made by laying planks longitudinally on the street, the ends resting om transverse stringers. The upper stratum consists of blocks six inches long and three inchs square, fastened togetber by wooden pias or bolt-; the sections are kept in position by wooden keys which fit ito grooves iu the sides of the sec. ons; the sections interlock wiih each other so to prevent their becoming dispiaced, and at the saine tine give Lateral support. Ia laying this pevement. the blocks composing the sec- ons, the pis, ‘be keys, and the var.ous parts of the substructure are t horoughiy saturated with hot tar: the grooves on the surface filled with hot gravel and pitch well rammed aud the whole coated with sand. The surface s then water-proof—the rain washes the dirt into the gutters, whence itis carried into the sewers, leaving (De streets clean. The sections of both substructure and upper stratum can be sO arranged as to size, &c., as to admit of the whole being easily taken up and replaced without interfering with the uniform grade. It affords a good foothold for horses, and is smooth and pleasant for travel. The grain ot wood being exposed to the surface it wears Jess than granite, and will last longer without repairs than any stone pavement. This pave- ment can be laid at about $4 per square yard. A small section of Penusylvaniania avenue, near the Capitol, between ist and 2d streets west, bas been laid with this pavement. It presents & very excellent appearance and as met with the approbation of all who have ta. ken the trouble to examine it. Having thus briefly described the principal pavements in use, and the manner of laying them, I wall proceed to consider which is best adapted to this city. After a careful examination ot the subject, 1 am of opinion that a good wooden pavement is referable to any other. It deadens noise, free trom dust, of an even surface, pre- sents less resistance to draught, saves tearand wear of horses and vehicles, is disin- fectant in consequence of the tar, is superior to asanitary pointot view, being water-tight, and can be arranged sos to span the daugerous gutters which now exist at the intersection of most of our streets. Stone pavements allow more or less infiltra. tion of water and decomposed vegetaile mat. ter, which finally escapes in the form ot poisonous miasmaia, There are many other Feasons which may be stated in favor of wood. ‘The principle objection to itis want of dura. bility. Read what Professor Mahan this subject—“The wear and tear of this kind of pavement (wooden) will, in ail probability, be less than that of stone.” The celebraced Enghsh Engineer, Sir Sohn Burgoyne, says:— “Wooden blocks, when placed with the end of the grain exposed, wear less than granite.” 1 might cite other authorities in favor of the du- rability ot wood, but I deem it unnecessary, as & little consideration of the subject well serve to convince the most skeptical of the superi- ority of wood as a paving material. In every case where there is friction and con- cussion, wood is employed to act sgamst iron And steel, The use of wood in pavements is only an application of the long accepted principle that substances of adissimilar nature and hardness when brought together prevent attrition. disintegration, wear, &c. The fine sand and dust which area source of annoy- ance where stone pivements are lait, get caught by the tar coatimg on the suriace of wooden pavement, are driven into the wood, and converted into @ species of file. After @ chreful investigation it appears to me that the Ream Paverent is superior to any of the others. The Stow has no sections ind no substracture. The Nicolson has a svbstruc- ture but no sections. The Stafford is composed of wood and iron, has sec- tions, but no substructure. The Fayette bas sections which lock by means of tongues and grooves, butno substructure. Th Keam has « substrncture and sections which lock with each other by means of grooves and keys; it therefore differs essentially from an of the others, and it is on account of tis dif- ference that 1 recommend its adoption fur use this city. The carriageway of every street should have & convex surface, sloping trom center to curbs at one in forty-eight, or certainty not le-s than two inches in every ten feet. The curos should be of a uniform grade with the center of the street” The presentinctination of toot- walke, viz: Balf an inch im every foot, is suf- ficient for good drainage. In concluston 1 would direct attention to the miserable state of our suburban streets. Toe present system of Inying @ thin coating ef gravel over a soft earth foundation is very ob- Jectionable and & useless expense. Lf the streets cannot be paved, a suificient space of each should be macadamized. This could be done in the following manner. Let the earth be levelled and well rammed, piace thereon a layer of sand: let this be moisteued. and also thoroughly rammed: them add a coating of broken stone, oF coarse gravel tree from clay and loam, the depth will depend on the amount of travel. ‘This will form ‘a road or street which when censolidated will not absorb much w.ter aud will at all times present a bard aad even eur- face. ‘The deep gutters or ditches met with at the interse. “ions of these streets should be filled up, widersc,and payed.
