COMPENSATION OF ARCHITECTS.
II the Editor Of Tie Chicago Tribune.
CHICAGO, Jan. 15-Anything relative to the
building up Of the city is now interesting to cap
ttalIsts. On Speaking to-lay with Que OF our
largest propcr1y-owners. he nude the rc'narE
that the great fault with the Chicago architects
wns insufficient superintendent [ told hin
that thought 1t cnuld be explained in one vsorti-
insufficient remuneration. So long us the
amount paid for the services Of architects WIS
one- half thar Of New York, Boston, or even st.
Louis, just so long would the evil complained of
continue. He then asked mt what WIS the prssc-
tice IN England. told him that the great differ
cnce between the practice Of architects there and
hero was that the proprietor there always eln-
ploycd. in addition to his architect, Il "cicrk OF
work." who was paid By the month and who re-
mnncd on the building alf the time during
working hours. and whose duty 1t wns TO sec that
tho plans, and specifications, and instructions OF
the architect during his visits to the building
were faithfully carried ont BY the contractors.
ata glad to sec that the ST. Louis architects
have latcly issued and published in the Ahaer:-
ca,4 ArcEIcct anI Building News schedule of

wondered why something Of the same kind was
