WOOD STILL PRINCIPAL MATE.
RIAL USED IN BUILDING COM
sTRucrIoN.

Great as the advance in fre-proof
construction has been during the last
ten years. there has been no let-up in
the use Of lumber. and both architects
and builders find themselves SO de.
pendent on wood today that they are
compelled 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 framework Of
steel, will make 1t 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 contain much
truth. AS matter of fact, however,
the popular idea that tire.proof mater
ials will do away with the need of US.
ing lumber in comparatively few
years Is very erroneous one. All of
the various tire.proof materials going
into the approved construction Of the
more substantial 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 erected
last year. approximately 81 per cent
We're constructed of wood and the re-
manning 30 per cent of fire resisting
material, according to a report Issued
by the Geological Survey on opera.
tons in forty-nine leading cities of the
country. These figures are the more
significant when 1t is realized that
they only represent the building activ-
tiles in the largest cities; they do not
take into account the construction of
dwellings, stores and other buildings
in the thousands of small cities and
towns scattered over and not included
in the forty-nine cities on which the
reckoning is made.
In towns and small cities wood is
usually The predominating building
material. and it is safe to say that if
the statistics had included figures for
all places. Of whatever size, the per-
centaEe Of wooden construction would
have been much greater. These fig.
ures, as rule, are only for the cor.
porate limits, and the suburbs of these
cities have each very large amounts
to be added. The cost, also, is rela-
lively higher in these cities than in
towns nearer hte base of supply.

things to say at different times rela-

method Of doing things. Here is an
other example as noted in the Charles

At the last two sessions of the leg.

amendment, which he offered in the
