The building block machine purchased
by contractor M. j. Rohr, mentioned in
our last issue. will produce blocks more
durable than brick, and about rs per
cent cheaper. Sand and Portland ce-
ment are the materials to be rsed IN
making the blocks. Finished and put in
the walls OF building, the blocks PIE
sent much more attractive appearance
than brick. Handsome buildings are be-
ing instructed of this material in many
citiesand towns. and Charles Town, from
present appearances. will soon be fully
up with the head of the procession along
this line.
