Promoters Of Hollow Block System
Claim That 1t Is Economical and
Otherwise Advantageous.
UNIQUE TO THIS SECTION

Three houses are 10 be built of hollow
concrete blocks on Girard street. be-
tween Fourteenth and Fifteenth streets
northwest. This material is unique to
the building world of Washington. and,
II It does the things claimed for it by
the Palmer-Brouner Construction Com
pany, which will build the houses, it
may bring about revolution in ma
teriaI used in Washington structures
II is claimed for the hollow concrete
blocks that they are almost perfect imi-
tations of the stone which they are in
tended to copy and that, in addition to
having the quality of durability. the ma
terial is much cheaper than stone.
II. S. Palmer, president OF the Palmer
BrOuner Construction Company, is the
inventor of the machine with which
the hollow concrete blocks are made
This machine is being largely used in
various parts of the world.
The machine is operated at the site of
the building operations, thus making
possible a considerable saving i'm cost.
The blocks are composed principally
OF Portland cement concrete. About
one-third of each block is a cavity. which
also reduces the cost, and, ii is said,
makes a better wall,
Extensively Used Elsewhere.
Although this kind of construction is
comparatively new in this section. il
has been used in many large buildings
in other cities. Among them are the
law exchange Of Jacksonville, Fla; the
Charlotte, n. c., water works; the
Steunton Military Academy. Staunton.
Va, and a number Of buildings in
Pittsburg Pa.
1t Is pointed out by those interested
I'm the innovation that hollow blocks are
f1reprOof and insure dry walls and cell
lars, and IL Is easier 10 handle than
stone. although equally as strong 1t
can be used in many places in a building
where How wood is used. and it is not
improbable that the lumber market will
be seriously affected if the material gets
into general use.
AS an example of what results can be
attained through use of the hollow con-
crete blocks. the three houses TO be
built by the Palmer BrOuner Company. a

The large back yards are to run TO a
20-foot alley, while the front yards are

paper will be used and electric lighting

ments will be installed.

a banner year. and that the record Of
Improvement that will be made in the
next twelve months will astonish
everybody. including the wise ones
The city is on the threshold Of its
architectural beauty and greatness It
now has scores OF splendid public
structures and hundreds Of magnificent
private buildings, but one has only TO
look IA a casual way over the field OF
operations now going on TO realize that
the Capital is going forward in its de-
velopment with giant strides
Small Flats the Rule.
Mr.. Beers is not afraid of the ten
dancv 10 apartment house building. and
does not think the city will be injured
in its artistic side by reason OF this
class OF houses.
In my opinion" he said, the year
we are now upon win see more apart

will not be 'sky-scrapers' The rule viii
be small flats-say. three stories high

terday at the number of papers anect-
ing real and personal property hled
during the past week. The count made
BY Deputy Recorder Dutton disclosed
net Increase of IFS instruments over the
number fled during the same period IN
1905.
The gain would not be so remarkable
except for the fact that 1t is but
repetition of the showing that has been
made each week for a long time. No
matter how big the business was at a
given time twelve months earlier. il
has been invariably overtopped by cur
rent operations.
The Washington times., 1906-01-28
An Agreeable Surprise.

II had been expected that the past
week would fall behind. and the fact
that instead it made a substantial gain.
was accepted by the fraternity as an
unnistakable good omen. The more
optimistic of the brokers are fairly
bubbling with the prospects for 1905. and
they are looking forward 10 a real boom
as soon as the springtime gets here.
A gratifying feature of the business
of the past week was found in the fact
that Il was scattered over the entire
District. and included all kinds OF proD-
erty. the values ranging from much to
little.
