Use of Native Building Granite.
4 The flowing is an editorial from a re-
cent issue OF the Barre Daily Times:-
! "The announcement that banking in
sututiOn in Bethel is TO construct its new
7 quarters Of Bethel granite leads to the
question why more buildings are not con-
u a q Il. d -.
question is perhaps easily answered by the
mere suggestion that granite costs more
than brick or wood, and that the CORE
spending cost OF the building would
therefore be greater. Brick fills the bill as
we'll, it is argued, and as the money re-
quired is less, there is better per cent on
the investment to use the cheaper material.
Looking al the matter from the standpoint
OF dollars and cents, that Is a conclusive
answer 10 the query But there lisa strong
argument for the use OF granite from the
standpoint OF architectural beauty. How
much more pleasing to the eye is a struct-
ure OF stone Does il not convey to the
mind an impression OF greater solidity and
massTveness2 Is it not possible to pro-
duce a more attractive result, given the
same design? We should certainly say
yes TO both the questions, and most people
will agree. A dull gray looks better than
flaming red or a modified yellow, even in
their most modest tints, But looks do not
count when dollars and cents are at issue,
It's true.
"Here in Barre, one Of the greatest gran
lite centers in the country, there are,
strange TO relate, but two business blocks
which can be considered OF granite con-
structiOn. They are the most striking and
posing buildings in the city, and are
pointed out with pride by the citizens OF
the city. In addition, one church editice
Is Of the same material. Beyond these
three we recall no other structure in the
City OF granite. Visitors often wonder
that the native product is not oftener used
in the larger constructions, and, indeed,
il IS quite remarkable when one stops Ia
consider. In private enterpu Is men arc
scarcely willing TO 20 TO extra expense To
secure a grade of beauty, for beauty's sake
alone. But IN public enterprises when re-
turns on the money spent Is not a mattel
