MUCH INTEREST
In Concrete Construction
Is Being Shown.
Much Skill Is Required In
Preparing the Mixture.
Everything Has 10 lie Right and
Properly Put Together.

Tie lric.:iavers and '?1asonS Of this
city and vicinity have been watching
and ara watching with no little inter-
est the process of contract construction
by the new method. that OF concrete.
The bricillaycrs have felt that intro
iu.tion OF concrete as Il building ma
terial would tend 10 lessen the chances
of the employment of skilled labor; that
any person might become a contraS tor
on concrete with the consequent re-
duction for the demand for bricklayers.
The last may be true to some extent,
but whcn the briclllaver thinks there
is no skill in the proper mixing o.
making concrete, that bricklayer is
mistaken.
As the skilled briclslaver knows when
his mortar is Of the right and proper
temper and adhesiveness and when mis-
brick are laid plumb. level and square.
so also must the concrete maker know
how his material il put together. For
certain classes OF concrete work the
crushed stone must be Of a specified
coarseness or finencss and the cement
must Be just al proper temper IL
order tGat the grade OF crushed rock
and cement mix we'll. Concrete is mad
from the cobDle stone TO the rock dust
and as there are many grades of fine
ness or Coarseness. skill must be appli-
ed TO the riiNing thereof in order the,
a perfect COB may be turned out
Skill is required even in the making
of the mol's into which the COncret"
is run and poured. On a job like that
of the Fort Halifax dam across the
Sebasticook river in the village Of Wins
low. some Knowledge of lumber and
what l0"h feet of lumber Will do in tn"
rla5ing OF the mOldS may be gained.
These mods must be set AT certain
angles and must be perfect. in 4 certain
sense, that the material Which is to he
poured in VIII not be given an oppOr-
tunity 10 run all over the surrounding
country. It will be man Of
good Judgment who will figure
exactly ana what amount Of
crushed rock and what amount Of
cement Will be necessary in concrete
contract. If any person thinks that ali
that is necessary tn the making of good
concrete is the simple dOusing of 4 lot
of water over some cement and dump
ing in lot of crushed rock that person
is mistaken and should interview the
man VINO is doing concrete work on
contract.
