The great fall of fifty per cent IN
the price of brick in New York was
caused in the construction of sir
hundred buildings alone. says the
Newark Advertiser. Concrete con.
,truction is much simpler opera
ticn than brick laying, employing ID
Dor that is less skilled and less e..
Acting in its demands. The two ma,
terials are at present in that competi
tive stage where the success Of one
Dr the other apparently depends upon
the labor conditions that attend theil
respective use. In the rebuilding Of
San Francisco it was expected that
there would be an immense demand
for brick, but builders generally
lave turned to concretes, for the rec
son that brick brought from the East
romes high, while the labor cost d
laying brick is almost prOhibftorE
THE great fall in the price Of brick
will have the effect to check the ten
lency toward concrete, but we may
expect to see in the future vastly
greater use of concrete in building
construction and gradual decline
In the use of brick.
