TO BUILD 81 HOUSES.

Commbsioner Johnson's room at Fire
Headquarters was filled this, morning
with DIRECTORS to the specifications in
the contract for twenty-one new hrs
houses TO be crectsd by tho department
which call for the use OF concrete In
stead Of brick. The Commissioner heard
all the DIRECTORS patiently. heard the
various complaints, with Deputy Com.
missioner Oivany. and when all had
expressed themselves a. much as they
desired. he explained his position.
lie said that tho contrac, specifica-
tions had gone through all the nsces-
sary official channels and had been APP
proved. and that as concrete was the
material decided upon. concrete would
be used In the contraction OF the build
ings. lie also insisted that no discrim-
ination In tho least had been used

made this assertion.
There were thirteen representatives o,

ers' Union. who formed the obJectinG

First to deliver his opinion of the use
OF concrete versus brick was Frank
Grady. n builder. His first objection
was hat the specifications had been

partment. II was also claimed by Grady
that the plans had neither been filed

mean an additional expense OF
from 10 to IL per cent. over what It
would be II brick were used.
To offset this contention the Commits
sloner submitted Mr.. Grady figures com-
piled by the Fire Department which es-
tiinated $4,000 would be saved tho city
by the use Of concrete In tho erection OF
the twenty-one buildings.
The business manager Of the Brick.

that he wanted ~ see ar even break for

he was discriminating against the brick
