CALCIUM CHLORIDE. 
This process may be introduced at Manchester 
this summer to Settle Dust on the streets. 
Selectmen now seriously considering it. 
The question whether or not to use 
~ calcium chloride for sprinkling the streets 
of Manchester as a means of settling the 
dust during the coming summer, is now 
“Ax 
being seriously considered by the board 
of selectmen. 
_ Last Saturday afternoon a meeting was 
held at the office of the board at which 
were present besides the selectmen and 
superintendent of streets, Supt. of Streets 
Driscoll of Brookline, Col. Wm. D. 
Sohier, who has taken such an interest 
in opening up wood roads hereabouts, 
_ was talked over. 
and Mr. Gaffey of Melrose, a well known 
road builder. 
The matter of using calcium chloride 
The opinion was ex- 
pressed by these men that this is to be the 
coming dust layer. 
It is estimated that there are now 
120,000 gallons of water a day used in 
sprinkling the streets, or at least there 
will be as soon as the carts are put on. 
And even this is unsatisfactory. With 
calcium chloride the dust will be laid 
~ every hour of the day. 
Brookline, 
Last week Supt. Kimball went to 
Allston, Cambridge, Wal- 
tham, Newton and Watertown to see 
_ what these places were doing to solve the 
dust question and found that in the 
_ places they had used calcium chloride it 
had proved satisfactory, but they couldn’ t 
teen a a la ie ek a en a oh ee ee 
give actual facts in regard to the cost. 
He saw one piece of road at Coolidge 
Corner that hadn’t had calcium chloride 
or anything else for three weeks and it 
was perfectly void of dust. 
~He came home and advised the select- 
men that they give calcium chloride a 
try. While he couldn’t tell the cost, he 
did feel the streets would be free from 
dust. Under the present conditions, he 
said, five watering carts were on from 
8a. m. to 5 p. m., with a total cost of 
$30.00 a day, and during the day there 
was no time when some part of each line 
covered bythese carts was not either mud- 
dy or dusty. Especially onreal hot days is 
this so, while with the calcium chloride 
the surface would be alike in all parts. 
The cost of the calcium chloride in 
bulk is $15.40 aton. Before putting on 
the street it is mixed with water in the 
proportion of | |b. to one gallon of water. 
This product can be bought only in one 
place,—Syracuse, N. Y. It comes 32 
tons to a car-load, and has to be broken 
with a sledge hammer, and then put into 
a tank, watering cart, or some vessel to 
- bedissolved. It takes 24 hours to dissolve 
in cold water, but by adding direct steam 
from one of the several boilers used by 
the town it could be dissolved in one- 
half hour.

sprinkle the streets, and then go over 
them again in two or three days, and 
then it would not be necessary to go over 
them again for a fortnight. “This would 
be kept up at intervals of two to three 
weeks through the summer.

The theory of calcium chloride used 
in this way is that it absorbs the moisture; 
in other words, the moisture feeds it. 
There is nothing objectionable about it; 
no smell, no grease; it simply holds the 
dust, and thus, really it protects the roads 
as well as keeping down the dust.
