Experiments In Concrete.

Builders are interested in concrete as
a building material for construction, and
they are Watching two experiments with the
material in building in New York, one a
twelve-story structure, the first tall struc-
ture to be bulls in this country wholly OF
concrete, and she other large building for
fpublishing house. The success Of these ex-
psriments will start concrete buildings all
oyer the country, the material and labor be-
ing much cheaper than the cost of erecting
bulldogs Of brick, stone and iron. Building
trades are watching these experiments, for
they mean much for labor in these trades.
a concrete building can be put mp BY ordi
nary labor. The skill required in putting
together the iron or steel framework, chap
ing and laying the stone and laying the
brick, is not in requisition for concrete,
hence any general adoption Of that mater
ial must seriously affess the interests Of the
building trades aud driYe many men into
otiIeT occupations.

THE MANLEY LOT WHY :?

Nearly three years ago the Board OF Edu-
cation. after an exhaustive search Of the
town, selected the Manley lot as site for
a new school house. The Board Of School
Estimate approved the selection and recon
mended its purchase at $1,000. City
Council passed an ordinance appropriating
the money to consummate the purchase
Good citizens who deemed the purchase
an unwise one protested, and employed
counsel to carry the proceedings to the
courts.
While the legal proceedings were pend
ing new members of the Board were elected
and Immediately after organization of the
pew Board the resolution to purchase the
site was re-eonsidered. Soon thereafter a
special committee on school site, consisting
Of Messrs. Underwood, Hughes and Car
penter, was appointed.
fright here we will state that there has
never been any division in the Board as to
the need, nor as to the way in which the
need should be supplied
A majority Of this new committee i'm
Es.aaSaia.tsely proceeded to find suitable site
-one that could be selected without pro-
test by the people.
For nearly two years this committee has
devoted its surplus hours and vacations, to
the task set is. On its recommendation the
question Of selection was submitted to the
people. About one-third Of the people
participated in the election, and a majority
/ of that number voted to build the school
house on the cisy hall lot, and combine the
city departments, library and schools. But
there are legal impediments to this scheme,
and it fell of its own weight.
But this election was not without value.
Il showed the people were willing to build
school house, but not willing to buy land.
The next move was the selection Of the
Matlock lot which can only be secured By
condemnation proceedings
Then another storm arose. Tie owners
served notice that they would interpose
every obstacle Of the law, and adjoining
residents made direct and forceful objec-
tion. Then the Board unanimously re-
considered its action.
Recently the Board selected the Wick
lot, which Council rejected.
AS the adjourned meeting, two weeks
ago, with two sites to choose from -the Dill
Ion LOT at $1,000 and the Manley los at
81, 800. .30-the Board again selected the
Manley lot.

A word about public Improvements
They should always be made with view
to future needs. When the court house
was built in 1887 il was deemed by many
an extravsgant expenditure. To-day it is
too small -both the Clerk s and Surrogate's
offices should be enlarged. When the old
wooden bridge across the creek was re-
moved, and the new one raised 81 feet,
made the full width of the street with Bel
gian block roadway and asphalt sidewalks,
the committee was strenuonsly condemned.
