WILL TAKE ACTION TO
FORCE IL SPUR REMOVAL
42d Street Association Plans
Condemnation Suit.

IL tho Interborough Rapid Transit
Company falls to remove the archaic
'L" spur between the Grand Central
Terminal and Third avenue. the Forty
second Street Property Owners and
Merchants Association has promised 10
start condemnation proceedings this
week. Former Public Service Commits
sioner Barrett. the official umpire In
the controversy over the removal Of tho
ungainly structure, has decreed that IL
Is no longer necessary to the conven-
fence of the strap hanging public, so,
according to the legal rules of the
game, II Is up to the Interborough TO
tear It down.
A number OF realty experts have tes-
tilted that the city would be better off
with the Il" spur removed. State Sem
ator McCue testified before the Public
Service Commission that the structure
had prevented property abutting II
from Increasing in value during the
last twenty-five years and he was COR
roborated by Stewart Browne, president
OF the United Realty Owners Associa-
ton Louis Stern, president of Stern
Brothers. said he couldn't imagine prop
erty owners putting UP new and better
buildings there aa long as the structure
remained. Henry Mandel, the operator
who bought the Grand Union Hotel site,
testified that the elimination of tho cye-
sore would moro than double the value
OF the realty along Forty-second street
east OF Park avenue.

time of idle curiosity. Plans to repeat
the exposition in this city next year are
now being arranged by Robert II. Sex
ton. manager of the exhibit.
Up to the close Of the show much in
terest was aroused by the full size stucoo
house of four rooms designed by r X.
Talbraith of Indianapolis, Ind. to cost
complete 81 4.400. based on the latest esti-
mates OF the cost OF materials and labor.
The house was known as the ''house
electric while II was shown In Chicago
last month. It was selected by the
stucco interests as being more adaptable
for their purposes than the houses In
cluded In the list OF prize winners.
The designs OF the prize winning
houses were published In book form and
were sold on the floor OF the armory
during tho show. The cost OF the houses
was estimated to run at from s5,400 70
$4,000.

BUILDING AN UNCOMMON DWELLING WITH COMMON BRIG
By HUBERT e. REEVES.

Ono finds very few good examples OF
The use of common brick for exterior
dnizh in the modern country cottages
Of New York. Long Island. New Jersey
and Connecticut Is this due to the fact
that common brick is generally known
a. q material for use In rough construc-
sion only and not good enough for the
finished worka Or is 1t because Of its
lack Of distinct variety in color?
We would do we'll In this connection
to recall the charming examples of brick
houses in South Carolina, Maryland.
sd In the period beginning about 100.
At that time there was no face brick
manufactured. and a good deal Of the
common brick was brought from Eng
land In our sailing vessels, to serve as
ballast on their return voyage, which
accounts for the existence Of brick build
ilgs near seaports Of the Southern States
mentioned.
This imported brick was used for both
rough construction and exterior facings
and was practically Of one shade OF red.
Some Of the houses built Of this brick
are of the finest examples Of Southern
Colonial architecture which we lay
claim to, and even to this day they re-
main in almost perfect condition. inso-
far as the brick work is concerned.
Why do we not use more common
brick for our small houses?
From practical standpoint a hard
burned common brick Is just as durabla
as any face brick. Current prices show
tthat the cost Of common brick Is lust
ABOUT half that Of medium grade face
prick. The saving is well worth while
considering. And as for variety Of color
"hen desired. there are certain shades In
common brick with which a very plea sing
ERECT may be obtained IL a little tudr-
ment Is used In sorting the bricks ba-
fore setting.
