The great fall Of fifty per cent IN
fine price Of brick in New York was
caused in the construction Of siy
hundred buildings alone. says the
Newark Advertiser. Concrete con{
Jtruction is a much simpler opera
ton than brick laying, employing IA,
Dor that is less skilled and less e..
Acting in its demands. The two ma,
terials are at present in that compett
tive stage where the success Of one
Dr the other apparently depends upon,
the labor conditions that attend their
respective use. In the rebuilding q
San Francisco it was expected that
there would be an immense demand
for brick, but builders generally
lave turned to concretes, for the re-
kon that brick brought from the East
comes high, while the labor cost u
laying brick is almost pr0hibitoIy,
The great fall in the price ~ brick
will have the effect to check the ten
lency toward concrete, but we may
expect to see in the future a vastly
greater use of concrete in building
construction and a gradual declinp
In the use of brick.
