Superintendent Donaldson Works Out
Problem of Saving Supply of Water to
City Oiled Streets Cheaper and More
Satisfactory Than Sprinkling.

in the effect of the dust upon lawns,
porches, rose bushes and sidewalks. It
Is estimated that the waste water due
to sprinkling as a direct result of the
t lying dust, amounts 10 more man .
000 a year if the charge were made at
the meter rate. In other words, if the
streets were oiled this amount of water
would not be wasted In washing the
dust off the lawns and bushes.
Totaling up the saving that woul!
result If all the 400 miles of streets ln
Portland were oiled, the amount reaches
something like 100.000 a year.
Hut the argument has been advanced
that oiling streets costs more than
sprlnkllnp them with water. This Is
true. The cost of oiling streets aver
ages about $200 a mile. Watering
streets cost about $125 a mile each
year. Inasmuch as there are 400 mile
of streets in Portland, the cost of oiling
each year would be about IRO.000 if all
were oiled, which would not be neces
sary because there are about 25 miles
of hard-surface pavement which would
not have, to be oiled. The approximate
cost of watering streets is J50.000 a
year.
This means that if all the streets
wer, oiled ench year the extra cost
would be about J30.000. But the 1100,-
000-savlng, ns flpured out above, would
more than balnnce this and leave a sav
ing of about $70,000 a year.
Other Bavin;.
There is still another saving to be
considered which Is being experimented
with at the present time. Superintend
ent Donaldson is preparing to oil sev
eral blocks of street and then rolling
it. Later he intends putting on another
coat of oil and sand and put It under
the rollers for the second time. In this
manner he hopes to have the street in
such condition that it will keep the
winter reins from washing the surface
dirt off snd thus save oiling again next
year. If this proves a success the city's
savlnfflsvould be still greater.
As to the Initial ooat of oiling eyerv
street In the citv. Superintendent Don
aldson has also figured out a way so
that the city could secure the necessary
equipment for almost nothing.

streets are a comfort to travel upon
because clouds of dust do not arise to
the traveler's face to blind th eye and
gag th throat: because the glare of
the un is minimized and because the
traveler doe not feel the bump of every
pebble no larger than a hickory nut as
he does when he rides through the
rrinding, gritty dust. And to cap the
climax, an oiled street is never dusty
a is one two hours after it lias been
splashed with water.
Ktifl Coat Daily.
There are 86 sprinkling wagons ln
Portland ln addition to three streetcar
Epnniuers wnicn are malnlv used on
hard surface pavements. Every day
these S6 sprinklers with a capacity of
600 gallons each, empty 40 loads of
water on the streets. Together with the
water wasted at the hydrants in loading,
these ib sprinklers consume 1,000,000
gallons of water a day.
Reduced to cubic feet and its cost flg-
i " i regular meter rate
charged by the water department, this
water costs approximately $16" a day
The sprinkling goes on about 100 days
each year, which means that the water
would coat an individual about $17 000
a rear.
These figures do not tlr tntn r,.
elderation the amount of water used by
the three street electric sprinklers
which consume an amount about eciual
to that poured out by the sprinklers
drawn by horses.
Carrying the figures out a little fur
ther it is found that the Water sprinkled
on the streets, together with the rains
removes a large amount of the surface
dirt, causes ruts to form In the street
an in the long run means an annual
expenditure, which could be saved by
oiling the streets, of about $32,000.
which Is taken out of the street repair
fund.
the present equipment of water sprink
lers could be reduced to about one-half.
These wagons are In good condition
and by selling 20 of thern at one-half
their original cost nearly enough monnv
could be raised to purchase nine addi
tional oil sprinklers which Donaldson
says would be enough to do the work
of the citv which has one oil snrinklur
at the present time.
Th9 remaining 16 water sprinklers
would be able to sprinkle the hard-sur-
race pavements not reached by the elec
tric sprinklers.
Mayor Lane Is as enthuslnstlc ohnut
piling the streets as Donaldson, and it i of a mile west

years ne urgea tne city council and
Donaldson to experiment with oil. His
urgent requests were finally heeded
and the city purchased an oil sprinkler,
more In the expectation of recording a
failure against Mayor Lane than any
thing else.
His plan has turned out far differ
ently than expected, however, and It
Is believed that the council will provide
funds when the official budget Is made
up in January to carry out the work ln
a thorough manner next spring and
summer.
The oil sprmkler owned by the city
cpst $C00, but Superintendent Donald
son believes that as good wagons can
be secured for less than $500.
Donaldson presented another view of
the question by stating that steep
grades when oiled greatly relieve the
burden placed upon horses ln pulling
heavy loads through the dust and sand
which in many cases attains a depth of
Rix Inches. These, grades are the first
to receive attention from Donni,ior,
smaller than a good sized walnut. Tho
length of the branch was less than a
foot.
Brouwer said the cherries were grown
on a tree about 14 years old of the Lam
bert variety. It gave seven boxi's this
year and as the weight of them was 350
poundB. the fruit hjought $21, nt 6
cents a pound. Eight cents a pound
could have been obtained but Mr.
Brouwer did not have time to look
around for prices and so let them ko
at t
district. Mr. Phillips has for years
been one of the chief men ln the coun
cils of the old Pacific Telephone &
Telegraph company and his transfer to
Portland is taken to mean a slight rele
gation to the rear so far as his power
and voice in the general management
of the company is concerned.
But more Important than that so far
as Portland is concerned is the result :
