BUILDING OF CONCRETE.

In view of the great activity in
residence building in Cairo the fol-
lowing from a pamphlet recently is
sued by the New York fire insurance
companies may be of value:
Upon 25x35 house with pitched
rafters a tile roof costs s212 slate
s129 and single $S7. For depreciation
/ % per cent must be written off
yearly for tile and per cent for the
more easily repaired slate: upon
shingles 81 per cent. Is the very
moderate estimate. For shingles used
on speculative houses the deprecia-
ton charge should be higher. But
even at that rate. with interest and
cost of insurance added, shingles are
more expensive than STATE in annual
carrying cost. and half as costly as
tile, which Is employed for artistic
effect rather than economy.
Water runs quickly off vertical
surface. wooden walls last we'll. But
] even here the frequency Of painting
and the higher insurance rate make
frame walls cost some $40 per year
more than concrete to carry in 6
small house and only 81 less thar
brick. Stone walls are an aesthetic
luxury. Freedom from rats and yer
min and the comparative safety Of the
contents and OF human life from fire
are still to be reeoned"
There has been a very decided in
crease in concrete construction il
Cairo as elsewhere in the country
and some Of the handsomest resi-
dences in the city are built Target.
OF that material.
The Speculative house" is tn,
principal offender when 1t comes t,
cheapness in construction. The mai
who builds house to live in Is likel
to build with view to permanenc
" and to insist on the use OF at frs
class material The man who build
a house to see is not SO particular. Il
fact, many Of those who erect "spect
latlv houses" are mainly interesed Il
building as cheaply as possible. TIL
number Of such houses in every cit
doubtless constitutes no small facto

Council! Holds Up Reading Of telephone
Franchise 10 More Fully Study
" Several Provisions. -:

The council, at it's Tuesday even
ing session, discussed at length the
various provisions of the proposed
telephone franchise ordinance, but
decided to lay the matter on the ia,
BILE without further action tor an
other week, that members might
more fully study and digest several
of the provisions of the document
before going on record. Mr.. French,
general manager, and F. E. Lister,
district superintendent of the Mesa
ba Telephone company, were in
attendance at the meeting, Mr..
French explaining several points
to mem bers.
The city exchequer was depleted
at this meeting by the payment of
some large estimates to permanent
Improvements contractors, the II.
L. Bartlett company being awarded
third estimate on their paving
contract of $3l, 88l.76, p. Mcdonnell
being awarded a third estimate of
l8,3888O and G. c. Butler being
awarded a final estimate on his
curb and gutter contracts of ST.
9O8.17. In addition the regular
monthly budget of bills to the ex-
tent of several thousand dollars
passed muster, but the report of
the clerk and treasurer shows the
city to be in tirst-class shape finan-
cially, despite the drain.
Bids for coal for the city build
ings for the coming season were
received from the Virginia Transfer
and Fuel line and W. H. Eaton, the
prices named being the same and
the contract was ordered divided
as near equal as may be.
The question of the cause of ty-
phoid IN the city led to recon-
inendation that the logs in Silver
lake be thinned out and that a
boom he constructed to in future
keep them certain distance from
the shore line. Cognizant of work
contemplated and IN progress by
the mill company, Alderman Hertz
age assured the council that such
steps were now under way and that
the cause of the recommendation
would shortly be remedied.
Four renewals of liquor licenses
were granted and the meat inspec-
tor submitted good report. The
court report also showed that Vir
ginians as whole were improving,
but $l03 in fines and costs aCcruing
to the department of justice for the
week ending October l.

An auto party OF considerab BILE i'm
portauce will, weather permitting,
leave the city hall corner on Sun
day morning next at 9 O'Clock, des-
tined for Tower via the Gilbert.Bi-
wabik route. 1t is understood the
road from Biwabik to the Vermil-
ion city is very good, and if as sta
ted by those who have made the
trip recently, it is the intention OF
the local autoists to form a club
and build a country home on the
shores of beautiful Vermilion lake.
The Commercial club of Tower
has written a letter to Mayor Hawk
inson to the effect that a committee
has been appointed from that body
to receive and entertain the party
Sunday, and all those desiring to
make the "spin" will be more than
welcome. About ten machines are
already assured of being in line for
the trip, but the entire quota owned
in the city should turn out, that all
owners may assist in the formation
of the proposed club.
If this trip is successful another
will be planned later in the season.
1t is requested by those interested
that all owning autos be IN attend
ance at this first meet, if possible.
