City streets a glare of light ice, au- tomobiles skidding from curb to curb, Frantic calls for wrecking wagons. Cars abandoned against the curb or wherever comparative safety may be found. So far this Winter Washington and the country surrounding has experienced three samples of this condition, caused by a drizzle of rain falling on pave- ments whose temperature is below the freezing point and causing a coating of ice, smooth and treacherous. Skid | chains help, but they do not accom- plich all they are supposed to do. Tires without cheins court disaster. What few horses are left to do the work of pistons and crankshafts slide and fall. Nothing tles up traffic in a city like a light rain which freezes as it falls. or a combination of snow and rain wkich also freezes. Science Discovers Remedy. The situation in Washington so far this year has been that until the surface ice has been cut up by chains there is little to do about the matter. But sclence has found a way to stop this slipping and sliding and property dam- age and loss of time, and inconvenience and possible loss of life. Caleium chloride, a gray, flaky salt, which has a freezing point below zero, has the property of melting ice. It also has the property of rapidly sinking down through a light layer of ice, forming a solution which spreads under the ice and breaks it up into slush. In the case of a light layer of ice, this process takes place within an hour. ush 1s less dangerous than glare ice, and the solution holds its strength until such time as the normal melting process washes the liquid down into sewers, New York City is experimenting with the calcium chloride method of ice re- moval. Cleveland has had it in opera- tion for several years and Syracuse and, other cities in" Northern New York 18":?6 have had satisfactory results from use, Two Methods of Application. There are two methods of laying calcilum chloride on the fey surface. The first is by spreading the flaky stuff from a truck, permitting it to sink in of its own weight. The other is to meke a solution of calcium chiloride and water which reaches the ice all ready for action from the spouts of an ordinary street sprinkier. The most accurate method of solution strength is to make up a solution having a speeific gravity that will resist freez- ing at the tem tore of the day of use, allowing a factor of safety of about 10_degrees lower. The cost of use of calcium chloride is sald to be between $4 and $5 a city block, depending on the density of the ice and on weather conditions. One of the advantages claimed for the use of calcium chloride is that it opens ecatch basins which might become clogged with by | jce and snow, and creates a path of nat- ural drainage because of its melting property. The work of the salt in disintegrating ice on steep grades is szid to be espe- cially useful. EX-COUNT HOLDS MASS. SEVILLE.
