There are a number OF lime

authorizing the Penitentlary

The legislature did not make
an appropriation to build these
plants. The Penitentlary Board
Is quer ylng legislators-elect TO

LOCAL BUILDERS ATTEND
CHICAGO CEMENT SHOW

A number of contractors, building
material dealers and builders of this
city are planning to go to the Cement
Show to be held in the Coliseum in
Chicago, February 10 to II.
There are few if any industries
which have seen as rapid a rise and
development as that of concrete. This
is due largely to the wide range Of
uses of this wonderful material and to
the fact that it can be made by local
contractors and builders right at the
place needed. Most of the materials
entering into concrete are obtainable
in the immediate vicinity, and as local
labor is used almost exclusively, the
money used in building with this ma
terial does back to local industries.
Cement show visitors will be partic-
ularly interested in the photographs
and transparencies depicting the fire
at the Thomas A. Edison, Inc, plant
last December. Contrary to early
newspaper comments this disastrous
fire was a complete demonstration of
the efficiency of fre-proof construc-
ton. Mr.. Edison himself wrote the
Chicago Cement Show management
as follows:
"The report of our engineers shows
that 81 per cent of the reinforced con-
crete buildings, which were subjected
to a very intense heat, are in good
condition, and of the machinery which
theye contain about IS per cent can be
used, with small repairs. Buildings Of
other materials, together with con-
tents, were entirely destroyed.
1--WE are using steel sash and wire
glass in our repairs, and the concrete
columns which shows cracks are be-
ing made stronger by using more re-
enforcement with the addition of con-
crete put in place by cement guns.
"All permanent buildings which
will erect in the future will be built
of concrete as the results of our fire
! as a triumph for this material"
