The board members were not entirely satisfied with the explanation of the machines which " of the Pontiac, they sce in chased by before they the matter. Work of Trucks Engineer Richards of the General Motor Pontiac, Mich., which is behind the Sperry & Farrell company, explained that, on a thirty-five foot street, there are two ways of doing the sprinkling work; by the pressure system and the rotary pump system. Recentl his company sold Lynn two trucks, the officials there planning to use the pressure system. Tanks of 800, 1,200, and 1,400 gallons capacity require only 8 1-2 minutes for filling on a pres- sure of 40 pounds per hydrant. -On one filling a truck will sprinkle one mile.

Other Concerns Failed, Mr. Humphrey thought it strange | that, although the largest street sprinkling companies in the wor% had tried both electricity and gaso- line propelled sprinklers and found them to be failures, the General Mo- tors company, only an infant concern, endorses them when it has tried them | out only in Pontiac and Toronto. The engineers of the concern said that they were frank to admit that they had not yet put out many of the machines. They felt that the extensive advertising which their concern is doing was suflicient évi- dence that they had much confidence in their product, Letter From Lynn. Mr. Humphrey read the following letter, which has been received from Lynn: asked circumstances.” was is Hall, New Britain, Conn, “Mr. Wm. H.

Don’t Want Strong Pressure. Mr. Humphrey cxplained that to guard against damaging the streets and again to do something to lay the dust, it was necessary to find a happy medium to prevent the destruction of the raadway. He said that, in his opinion, the American Car Sprinkling | company of Worcester has fac s | of doing this kind of work better than any other company in the world, but, the drawback was that the in- creased pressure of water from the swiftly moving trolley cars was {00 much for the roadway To protect | to give any | tell that he could { which can be lowered to cateh all the | tvpe | amount ta about a regarding BOWEN & CO. — essary last year, he said, to have the sprinkling done less frequently.
