The problem of lighting the new
Pro-Cathedral was a matter that en-
gagged the serious attention of the
building committee which had fire.
quent consultations with the leading
authorities on the subject before ar
irving at decision. The system
finally decided on is considered one
Of the best and most up-to-date to be
found in any building in Minneapolis.
The work was done by the we'll known
firm of w. I. Gray & Company.
Even more important than the prob
lem of lighting was the heating prob
lem. The number of cubic feet of space
in the building is enormous. Hence
the magnitude of the task of provid-
ing means of preserving uniform,
comfortable temperature when the
weather is severe. The contract for
this important piece of work went to
H. Kelly & Company, of Minneapolis.
The pews of the Pro Cathedral were
manufactured and installed by E.
Hackner & Company of La Crosse,
Wis, well known dealers in church
specialties Of various kinds. They are
ornate and substantial and were
chosen with view not only to pro-
vide for the comfort of worshippers,
but to harmonic with the scheme of
interior decoration.
The plumbing was an important
item in the finishing Of the Pro-
Cathedral. Here again the contract
went to local firm, Chas. Wilkins &
Company, who are well known in Min
neapolis.
In the choice of a firm of consult
ing engineers the object in view was
to secure firm known to be reliable
and at the same time familiar with
the most advanced ideas in building
construction. The choice Of the CON-
mittee fell on Charles L. Pillsbury &
Company. The same firm was recent
ly employed by the city to assist in
the appraisement of the property Of
the Minneapolis Gas Company.
To Mr.. F. A. Purdy of Hardwick,
Vermont, was given the contract for
the carving of all figures on both the
Cathedral of ST. Paul and The Pro-
Cathedral. Great care was exercised
before this important work was al
lowed and Mr.. Purdy is to be congrat-
ulated on being chosen.
The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1914-05-30
Construction and Equipment.

In the building of the PROF. Cathedral
every effort was made to secure the
best of material and the very best
workmanship, for on the material and
workmanship the durability of the
building depends. Those who are re-
sponsible for the letting of the con-
tracts are of the belief that it would
have been hard to improve on what
they succeeded in getting.
On the quality Of the stone used de-
ponds the future appearance of the
building. The effect of weather is al
ways matter to be considered seri-
ously in the selection of building
stone. After considering many kinds
and qualities of material, the building
committee decided on Bethel White
Granite as the material best adapted
to the superstructure. This stone
comes from the celebrated quarries of
the Woodbury. Granite Company,
Hardwick, Vermont, which is known
as the building granite centre Of the
world. The stone has crushing
strength of 1888 pounds per square
inch, which is three times the
strength of marble and one-third
greater than the ordinary granite.
The new postoff1ce at Washington, D.
c., and the Wisconsin State Capitol
are large buildings that were recently
constructed from this material.
The matter Of providing floor that
would Withstand the wear caused by
the thousands of people that will
go in and out Of the Pro-Cathedral
every year, was another problem
which received the serious considera-
ton of the building committee. It
was finally decided to use yellow fin
ished Kasota marble from the quar-
ries of the Breen Stone Company, Ka-
sofa and st. Paul, MINI. The floor
was put in under the personal super
vision of Mr.. Breen.
A large amount of heavy steel was
necessary in the construction of the
building. The Orders for the roof
and the large dome could be produced
only in large manufacturing plants. It
was found that the bid of the Mime
apolis Steel and Machinery Company
was the most reasonable offered and
consequently the contract for this i'm
portant part of the building went to a
home concern.

The Civic Dedication of the
Pro-Cathedral.

Second in importance only to the
laying of the cornerstone of the new
Pro-Cathedral was the civic dedication
of the building last November. A
unique plan was originated for this
purpose. The aim was to give the
people of Minneapolis, irrespective of
religious affiliations, an opportunity to
hear a course of lectures on vital ques-
tons by men Of national reputation.
Three of the five speakers were non
Catholics.

The Pro-Cathedral will be the united

needed by the requirements of re-
ligion; but one great temple will there
be in which all will find together,

Of the diocese, in which they will
prove that, whatever the smaller diff
ferences of race or language, they are
one in faith, in communion of love

Joined together in submission to Jesus
Christ, and His supreme vicar on
earth, the Pontiff of Rome. Great
