AUTHORITATIVE STATEMENT ON SEWER CONSTRUCTION Pacific Clay Products Expert Gives Some Pointers Now that the matter of constructing a suitable outfall sewer is up for consideration by the Anaheim city trustees, the topic becomes a matter of interest to every Anahei mcitizen. In order to get as much information regarding sewer construction as possible, the Gazette secured an expression from an official of the Pacific Clay Products company; one of the largest manufacturers of sewer pipe in the country. "The installation of a public improvement of this character is not an everyday occurrence," he pointed out, to begin with. "It is a matter of the utmost importance and the citizens of Anaheim especially should take more than passing interest in it and lend their active support to the city trustees, to the end that the best possible materials be installed. They should express their views to the city trustees in order that these men may know that the tax-payers are supporting them in the purchase of the very best material that money can buy for this outfall sewer. "A sewer is buried underground, and, if it functions properly, is soon forgotten. Its operation is never seen or thought of by the public. But nevertheless, a possible in its operation, due to faulty material or workmanship, would be a serious menace to health, life and property. "For sewer construction there is only one class of material which has been used with success in the United States for any great number of years. This material is known as salt glazed vitrified clay sewer pipe. "The manufacture of this pipe is a very exact and scientific process. The clay is carefully selected and after being glazed pipe line is likek a china plate or glass bottle. It is impenetrable to moisture and is not subject to attack by acids or gasses of any sort. Alkali in the soil through which many sewers are laid is also very disastrous to some classes of material, but not to vitrified salt glazed material. It resists attacks from without as well as from within. "The city of Anaheim should not countenance any arguments such as 'just-as-good-for-less-money,' etc., but should take pains to know that the very best materials that can be procured are being installed." SAD NEWS FOR THE FREE TRADE ADVOCATES Current events in the world of economic affairs are not adding much to the credit of the free trade experts of the American farm bureau federation—or any other free trade advocates. Canadian farmers are clamoring for a reciprocity agreement with the United States. They claim the present American tariff against agricultural imports is hurting them. This does not agree with the survey of the tariff issued by the free trade experts of the American farm bureau federation, which set forth that the protective tariff on agricultural imports did not benefit the American farmer. Of course, it is does not benefit the American farmer to have a tariff on Canadian agricultural products, it must necessarily follow that such a tariff does not injure the Canadian farmer. The Canadian farmer thinks otherwise. He wants free access to the American market. If he does not have it, he regards his industry as severely injured. Here again the free trade officials of the American farm bureau federation run up against a very embarrassing fact. In the fact of this claim of the Canadian farmer, what becomes of the revered free trade lily and solely to which protects them from these cheap wages which ensures prices for meat.

This material is known as salt glazed vitrified clay sewer pipe. "The manufacture of this pipe is a very exact and scientific process. The clay is carefully selected and after being prepared and mixed it is brought into a plastic condition, compressed in a steam cylinder and forced through steel dies under ninety pressure. This forms the sewer pipe. The pipe is then carefully dried and burned in special kilns at a temperature of about 2500 degrees Fahrenheit. The glazing is done by feeding salt into the fire holes when the pipe is brought to the annealing point, thereby producing a salt glaze, or glassy surface on the product." "Vitrified salt glazed sewer pipe will never need repairs. It will not rot or crumble; it is acid-proof and vermin-proof, and it will resist the ravages of chemical action of sewage disposal for hundreds of years. "The element of slight additional cost of vitrified salt glazed sewer pipe over other materials should not be given too serious attention. Its everlasting quality and the fact that it will never need attentior or repairs makes it by far the most economical in the end. "Taking the average of many cities, we find that four-fifths of the cost of sewer mains is spent for labor and other expenses, while but one-fifth is spent for the main item—the sewer pipe. This being true, it would be a short-sighted policy, indeed, to jeopardize four-fifths of the total expense by taking any chances whatever on the quality of the material used, even if its original cast is somewhat higher than other material. "For sewers which are too large to make single piece pipe satisfactory, Ferguson segment sewer blocks are extensively used. Ferguson blocks and liners are manufactured from identically the same kind and quality of material that vitrified sewer pipe is made from and they are salt glazed in the same manner, the only difference in them being that they are manufactured in sections to form a circle of the desired diameter, interlocking in such a manner as to make a perfect uniform construction."

"The cities of Pasadena, Alhambra and Riverside have recently gone on record as requiring vitrified salt glazed materials for their sewer construction. These cities have done this only after a very thorough and careful investigation of the subject. Also the city of Los Angeles, with considerable experience in the matter of experimenting with various classes of construction material for sewers, is now advertising for bids on their twelve million dollar sewers. Now, note this point carefully. The plans and specifications for these sewers all call for vitrified salt glazed material for the carrier, or lining of the sewer. They call for three types of construction, namely: Brick with vitrified brick liners, concrete pipe with Ferguson vitrified salt glazed liners, and Ferguson segment sewer blocks and liners. These specifications indicate the attitude of the most reputable engineers for sanitary sewers. "The main reason why vitrified salt glazed pipe line is like a china plate which should be used for sanitary sewers is, that the natural gases and acids generated in the sewage, and which attack the pipe line, have absolutely no effect on vitrified salt glazed material, though causing some materials to disintegrate." "The inside surface of vitrified salt ANAHEIM GAZETTE AGRICULTURE REALIZES NEED OF PROTECTION The protests of agricultural interests against any reduction of tariff on vegetable oils reflects the sentiment of all agricultural interests toward the protective tariff system. Agriculture is no longer a hit and miss occupation. It is an industry dependent, quite as much as the manufacturing industry, for success and profit upon application of business methods, scientific principles and economic laws. It finds itself competing with other industries for workers. Cheap labor which farmers enjoyed a generation ago is no longer obtainable. The American farmer today pays more for labor than is paid for like help anywhere else in the world. In England today the prevailing wage is $25 to $30 a month, without either board or lodging. Our frontier has disappeared and with it the era of cheap land. This brings the American farmer and livestock man in competition with products of cheap land in other countries—the fields and ranges of South America, Australia, New Zealand and Russia. For example, without the present protective tariff on cattle, our markets today would be swamped with importations of livestock from South America, where cattle of all classes are selling at less than half the prices paid in this country. Russia has recovered enough to resume production of wheat for export, raised on cheap land by peasants and paid for in the debased Russian ruble. This wheat could be shipped by water.

The Vitrified Clay Sewer Pipe Industry represents For example, without the present protective tariff on cattle, our markets today would be swamped with importations of livestock from South America, where cattle of all classes are selling at less than half the prices paid in this country. Russia has recovered enough to resume production of wheat for export, raised on cheap land by peasants and paid for in the debased Russian ruble. This wheat could be shipped by water from Black sea ports and laid down in our country for the merest fraction of what it costs the American farmer to raise wheat. So examples might be multiplied showing how the American agricultural interests are being forced into increasing competition with producers of other countries favored with cheap labor, cheap land and cheap currency. As this competition grows in foreign markets, the American producer will find it increasingly difficult, if not absolutely impossible, to sell abroad, even in the quantity he did prior to the world war. His home market is his salvation and he must maintain a tariff system that will protect it from foreign exploitation. When American workingmen are steadily employed they live better than the working people of any other country. This affords the agricultural interests not only a quantity market, but a quality market. It is a market which is the object of envy and desire by the agricultural interests of every other nation in the world. It is a market which they will be able to seize if it is not secured to the American agriculturalist by a protective tariff. It is as completely out of the question for the American farmer to reduce the costs of his production, considering the value of his land and the wages of his labor, as it is for the American manufacturer to reduce the costs of his production by installing a European system. The vitality of a protective tariff system mis based upon the principle that it must, through protective rates, make up the difference between the costs of production at home and abroad. This is the protection which is now needed by the American farmer, and which will continue to be needed so long as farm wages and the value of farming land in other nations are below the level of such wages and land values in this country.
