Letter to Vim. McGee.
Emporium, Pa.

Dear Sir: 1t takes 5000 gallons of
paint for the two big hotels at Coney
Island-Manhattan and Oriental. They
are painted once in three years with
Devoe lead and zinc.
Why 50 often? Three reasons: (1)
sea air cuts paint; (2l sand in the wind
cuts paint; (3) hotels, especially pleas
ure hotels, want freshness and color as
much as protection. Once in three
years is often enough and not too often
to paint hotelon windy sand beach.
How long do you think lead and oil
would last there? One year. Is there
anything for you in this?
Yours truly,
30 T. w. DEVOE & Co.

1t is unfortunate that the surplus
in the Treasury should be piling
up so rapidly with no available
means for reducing it. There will
in consequence, be some talk about
alleged insufficient reduction of
revenues. But, it must be remem-
bered that, had not the River and
Harbor bill unexpectedly failed at
the last moment, the surplus for
the year would have been about
ten millions.
