WOOD USED
IN BUILDING
THE USE OF FIRE PROOF MATER.
IALS DOES NOT LESSEN THE
USE OF LUMBER IN THE BUILD
ING OF OUR MODERN SKY
SCRAPERS.

Washington, Nov. 24.-Great as
the advance in fre-proof construc-
ton has been in the past 10 Year,
there has been no let up in the use
of lumber, and both architects and
builders find themselves so depend
ent on wood today that they are COM
PEELED to admit that the forests OF
the country are likely to be the
chief source of building material for
many years to come.
"The use Of cement terra Gotta
brick and stone, with frame work
of steel will make it possible soon
tc do away with wood entirely. Is
a remark often heard. and. indeed,
when one stands on lower Broadway
and looks up at the towering sky
scrapers, the statement seems TO con-
tain much truth. AS matter OF
feet, however. the popular idea that
fire-proof material will do away with
the need OF using lumber lin com
paratively few years lis an errone-
GUS one. All OF the various fire-proof
materials going into the approved
construction of the more substan-
tial buildings are used In greater
quantities now than the world
dreamed of few years ago. yet the
heavy demand for lumber continues.
That wood predominates is shown
by the annual building records. OF
the permits used for buildings erect
ed last year. approximately 61 per
cent were constructed of wood, and
the remaining 80 per cent Of fire re-
sisting material, according to re-
port issued by the geological survey
on operations in leading cities OF
the country. These figures are the
more significant when 1t Is realized
that they only represent the building
activities in the largest cities; they
do not take into account the con-
struction of dwellings and stores
and other buildings in the Thousands
of small cities and towns scattered
over the country and not included In
the 40 cities on which the reckoning
IL made.
In towns and small cities wood IL
usually the predominating building
material and It is safe to say that
II the statistics had included figures
of all places Of whatever size, the
percentage OF wooden construction
would have been much greater
These figures as a rule are only for
the corporate limits. and the sub
urbs OF these cities have each very
large amounts to be added. The cost
also is relatively higher in these
cities than in town nearer the base
of supply.
