An architect speaks upon the sutIsc, OF
the relative economy and benefits Of
copper over tin, as follows We always
specify the use OF copper for covering
roofs, when we can induce owners TO
allow us to do so, on account of It's dura-
bility although its cost is about Ella per
100 square feet over price Of tin rooang.
But when We reflect that tin roof ~
quires constant repairs, and painting at
least every two years, st q cost OF two to
three cents per foot, varying "a to he
number Of coats, the cost Of repairs 'or
six years, together with the cost of tin
roof, equals the cost Of copper.
