CAUSES OF FAILURE
IN CONCRETE WORK
Comments on Conditions in San Franz
cisco-RuIe to Prevent PATCH
Ing Is Suggested by
Builders

The San Francisco Construction News
remarks that study of the causes UNI
DERIVING certain failures In reinforced con-
crete structures makes 1t imperative that
a rule to the effect that no patching be
done on concrete work until the spots
needing 1t have been passed by a duly
authorized inspector ought to be embodied
in all municipal building codes, Such a
rule would be bound to result In better
and more careful concrete work and at
the same time eliminate a most fruitful
source of failure. 1t is customary to
patch all defective spots IN concrete
beams Orders, slabs, columns, ETC., as
soon as the forms or molds are removed
In order to cover up those defects, caused
either by careless workmen. or by chance,
which 1t seems almost impossible to elm
mate where exposed surfaces are con-
cerned and a very smooth finish is de-
sired.
The common procedure when, upon the
removal of the forms, the undersde of the
beams show spots where the concrete
fails to properly surround the reinforcing
rods, is to patch them Immediately, thus
making 1t impossible to tell just how bad
the defect is, as the exterior shows only
the surface of the patched spot How
rule such as the one outlined would work
In actual practice has been demonstrated
by contractors who have made it rule
that no patching should be done until the
inspectors have passed upon the defect
The effect upon the workmen has been
to make them careful, for they realize
that all defects will be seen, and the gen
eral result has been to raise the character
of the work considerably above what 1t
was before such rule was put into force.

MORE ACTIVE
ORDERS FOR NEW STRUCTURES
MULTIPLY
BRIGHT OUTLOOK FOR HOME
BUILDING
Another $4,000 Residence Designed

atoms for WoIfs<iIl Home.
Other New Plans

Present conditions show that local arch
fleets who early in the year predicted that
the fall season would witness marked
revival in the building line in Los An
geles and vicinity keep in pretty close
touch with investors and builders.

GROWTH IN COLONY
COMMERCE IS GREAT
GOVERNMENT FIGURES ON I'M.
PORTS AND EXPORTS
Increase with New Contiguous TerrI-
tories in Ten Years Over
s1o7, ooo,o oo-Porto Rico
the Leader

The commerce of the United States
with It's non-contiguous territories in the
fiscal year 1907 amounted to $l42, 100000
against less than $35,0O0000 in 1897. The
exports from the United States to those
territories in 1907 amounted TO $67.25O.000
against slo75O,00O in 1897, and the Inn
ports from those territories practically
$75,OOOOOO, against $240OO,OOO decade earl
Ter. These figures relate to merchandise
only. If to this total of $75,000,000 worth
of imports from the non-contiguous ter
ritories were added the gold produced
in and brought from Alaska, amounting
in 1907 to nearly s1S,5OOOO0, the total vaIus
of all products brought into the United
States from it's on-contiguous territories
would aggregate $9S,OOOO0O
While the trade with all the territories
in question shows marked growth DUR
ing the decade the most striking increase
occurs In the trade with Porto Rico.
The imports from that island in 1897 were
but slightly more than $2000,000, and in
1907 900, or eleven times as much
as In 1897; the exports to the island In
1897 were slightly less than $2,0OO,O00. and
in 1907 more than $25,0O00O0, or about
thirteen times as much as a decade earl
Ter.
This increase in trade occurs In all
classes of products, both foodstuffs and
manufactures. while in imports the chief
increase occurs IN the Few articies IN
which their Industries are at present spe-
cialized Figures just completed by this
bureau of statistics of the department
of commerce and labor show that II the
imports from Porto Rico, amour ting to
about s22 100000 In 1907 about $i5.0Oo.000
was the values of sugar. 100000 tobacco.
nearly 100000 fruits and the remainder
miscellaneous products, while in 1897 the
value Of sugar imported from Porto Rico
was but si,5OO0oO.

agined that the blow which has fallen
upon Wall street will not ultimately af-
feet general business. With the heavy
losses which have fallen upon wealthy
men and large corporations. there must
follow sharp contraction in new enter
prises; and improvements at one time
thought necessary will be indefinitely
postponed. This inevitably means a less
ened demand for materials and labor.
Prices Are Dropping
Prices are already yielding on some
manufactured products, owing to the
falling off In demand; and 1t remains to
be seen what will be the attitude of labor
If a business reaction really sets in.
There are no immediate Indications, how
ever, OF any general recession. Trade is
still active in the interior, and the fact
that the masses are well employed at

binary necessities of life. The demand
for the luxuries WILL of course. be cur
tailed. Much will depend upon the final
out-turn of the crops. Thus far the pros
poets have been fairly encouraging and
farmers seem sure of profitable prices;
but two of our most important crops
cotton and corn--are at least two weeks
late and an early frost such as might in
flict serious injury is still to be regarded
as one of the possibilities.
