New Departure. /
A house is being built by the Turney [
company north of the |
city. which IS attracting considerable /
attention, as being a new departure /
in building. The walls are built OF j
poured waterproof concrete blocks
The admittedly insurmOuntable draw /
back of concrete blocks made under I
pressure is that they must be made OF 4
a concrete mixture which is not wet /
enough to render them imperviOus TO |
moisture and moreover. that they DO I
not develop the fun strength OF the !
cement.
J.. A. Turney. manager Of the Tur- 4
ney Construction company, has over
come these defects, il is said. and IS 1
now turning out a poured concrete
block. made OF a wet mixture, which, ]
in its structure and properties, IS \
Identical with the concrete being used /
in the huge mOnOlithic structures de-
velOped in the past few years Con-
crete experts are unanimous IN IIs
opinion that wet mixture IS reQul-
site for the most enduring, strong
est and most imperviOus concrete. The
proper amount of water is required, |
so that each of the myriad particles /
Of cement viii crystalize with the
aggregate, making stone that will last 4
for ages. and no amount Of water
added after the initial set viii com
Densate for the lack Of 1t in mixing
A plant will be installed north OF I
own where there is an unlimited sup
ply Of the very best sand and SraNel.

-ract for a number of these concrete
block houses on tracts which the com
oanv is now placing on the market
