today that they are compelled 10 admit
that the forests OF the country are likely
to be the chief source OF building material
Tor many years 10 come.
The Use OF cement. terra Gotta brick
and stone, with framework OF steel, will
make It possible soon TO DO away with
wood entirely Is a remark often heard
and. indeed. when one stands on lower
Broadway and looks up at the towering
skyscrapers, the statement seems to con
tain much truth. As matter of fact.
however, the popular idea that fre-proof
materials will do away with the need OF
using lumber IN comparatively few years
Is an erroneous one. All OF the various
tie-proof materials going into the APP
proved construction of the more substan-
tial buildings are used in greater quanti-
ties now than the world dreamed of a
few years ago, yet the heavy demand for
lumber continues.
That wood predominates is shown by
the annual building records. OF the per
mits used for buildings erected last year,
approximately 81 per cent were construct
ed OF wood, and the remaining 80 per
cent OF fire resisting material, according
TO a report issued by the Geological Sur
vey on operations in 40 leading cities of
the country. These figures are the more
significant when it is realized that they
only represent the building activities in |
the largest cities; they do not take into
account the construction of dwellings |
stores and other buildings in the thous. |

and it is safe to say that if the statistics
lad included figures for all places of what

,truction would have been much greater.
These figures, as rule, are only for the
corporate limits, and the suburbs of these
titles have each very large amounts TO be
ldded. The cost, also, is relatively higher
n these cities than in towns nearer the
,ase of the supply.
