The need OF a new federal build

the future OF the posi- Office business

a fervent hope that the expansion

This then. would probably demand

Brick, Stucco and Wood for Homes
Discussed BY Local Builders And
Architects Interested With Public
All Three Materials Find Favories Among Contractors and
Drawers of Plans. But Initial Cost is De-
terminng Factor Often.

Build houses" Is the cry OF the
hour in South Bend. The prospec-
tive large increas sc in the number OF
local Industrial workers together
with the normal growth OF the city
has made the construction OF addi-
tional dwellings q problem receiv-
ing the earnest consideration OF all
classes OF citizens. The expansion
OF the city IS already being accom-
panied by the building OF many new
/. houses. both those for individual.
use ard those for rental and invest
ment purposes.
One or the chief problems con
fronting the prospective home
builder, whether he is building a
house for himself or one 70 rent or
sell. IS the decision as 70 the kind
OF material 10 use IN the structure.
What kind OF Material Is the most
serv1ceable. and what Is the most
economical, are some OF the ques-
tons that must be taken into con
sideration.
Many Favor Brick
Though the most practical kind OF
building material necessarily varies
with the type Of house 10 be built,
it IS the consensus Of opinion OF sew
eral representative local architects
and Contractors to whom the mat
ter was referred. that, IN most cases.
brick IS the best, al1-around material
for use in building houses.
According TO E. r. Austin. archi-
tect, brick veneer IS just as cheap
as wood when the cost OF upkeep
IS considered. Brick IS more sub
stantial, he pointed out. It Is warm
er IN winter and cooler in summer
than wood, and unlike wood 4 does
not require painting every few years.
The most practical roofing. accord
ing TO Austin, IS slate. Tile Is more
artistic but Il IS not considered so
practical. Thus. in his opinion, a
brick house with a slate roof Is both
the most practical and the most eco
nomical that can be built. He ranks
stucco next IN serviceability and
/ cost.
NJ. 2. Smith. craftsman engineer
for the McCready Construction Co,
has estimated that there IS only
about six per cent difference IN the
original cost OF wood and brick
veneer and about / per cent IN the
/ cost OF brick veneer and hollow
tile. However, he believes that even
though the difference between the
cost OF wood and brick houses Is
comparatively small, the average
man who has 70 pay interest on

@. W Frevermuth. an architect.
estimates that the difference IN or
iginal cost between wood and brick
houses IS about is per cent but
nevertheless he recommends the
building Of brick homes. for. az he
pointed out. when the amount that
Is paid out IN 10 years for upkeep
IS considered. brIck and wooden
structures cost about the same. Ac-
cording TO Mr.. Freyermuth. all
building material IS from 90 TO 80
per cent cheaper than e was two
or three years ago. The present
high cost Of transportation IN many
cases prevents an even greater de-
crease IN the cost OF building
Figure transportation
The matter OF transportation as
several OF the building experts point
"a out, IS one Of the factors that
contributes TO the relatively small
difference IN the cost Of wooden
houses and those built OF other ma
terials Most OF the brick used
here is SHIPPED from a comparatively
small distance. much OF Il coming
from the Brazil and Danville re-
g!ons IN Indiana and Illinois, re-
speCtively. Moreover, as one man
put It. this vicinity IS blessed with
good sand " which makes the cost
OF concrete construction here less
than IN many places.
The greater part OF the lumber
used here IS obtained from the
south or west coast, and hence IT'S
cost IS increased by the high trans
portation charges For example. Il

NO DISTINCTION
BETWEEN UNIFORMS

.> Princeton, N J, Jan ia memo
rial to 81 Princeton men who were
killed during the Confederate war
has been completed by the univer-
sity's authorities with no distinc-
tion between the men who served in
the Confederate and the Union ar
mics. So far as is known this is the
first time that tho names ofi of the SOL
der dead have, been set down alpha
beticaaly without regard for. the uni
form the T.. men wore. Strangely
enough there are 81 from each side.
It is probable that more sons of
Old Nassau were killed during the
struggle but the destruction of re-
cords has made it nearly impossible
to obtain strictly accurate list.
The names have been inscribed in
the war memorial room in Nassau
hail on the west marble panel. On
the south side Of the room are the
mans of the 144 Princeton men who
were Killed in the World war and
on the east side is q panel for the
names of those who died in the
Revolution. Owing to the difficulty
in collecting data on the heroes of
this war the work is progressing
slowly and will not be finished for
some time. Secretary v Lansing
Collins, who has charge of the york
has already found II Princetonians
who died in the struggle for free
dom, however.
Forty-six of the men whose
names appear on the Confederate
lists were officers, IS were privates
and one was a surgeon. --.

RETARY WEEKS. .-..

Washington, Jan 14-Henry
Ford's offer for purchase and lease
of the governments nitrate and
water power projects at Muscle
Shoal, Ala, will be referred to con-
gress for final decision, it was an
nounced today at thes conclusion of
conferences between government
officials and MIR Ford. Accompanying
the Ford proposal when 1t is trans
mitted, Secretary Weeks said, prob
ably would be the two offers receiv-
ed from Frederick Engstrum of
Wilmington, N C, and C C Tinker
Of San Francisco. *.
The decision to forward the three
offers to the legislative branch of
the government, it was stated, was
reached after. consideration of the
question; by executive officials last
ing over::a period of more than six
months. Under. the laws regulating
disposition of real estate and other
properties owned by the federal
government; it was said, the depart
1nent officers lacked Authority to
take final action and were compelled
to refer the Muscle Shoals offers to
congress for its consideration.
Actual transmission. of the pro-
posals was not expected to take
place for at least two weeks. It was
explained that. the Ford proposal
first would be drafted in contract
form by law officers Of the wal, de-
partment and submitted tc Mr. Ford
for his signature before it was sub
mitted to congress.
While the legal departments are
working on the contract form, it
was stated, Secretary Weeks would
prepare a report for congress con-
tanning what comments" he believ-
ed it's members should have = for
their information. :. ... ~. .
Explaining the action taken by
the \ conference, Secretary Weeks
said he was disappointed in that Mr.
Ford declined to agree to, certain
notifications by his conferees. One
of these was known to be that af-
fecting the Reduction Of the 100

modification agreed to by Mr. Ford
was that guaranteeing payment an

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 18, 1872:
NEEDING PREACHING.

Tuesday resolution was passed
, by the South Carolina House Of Rep
resentatives to take a day off at
eight dollars per day and visit the
Billy Sunday meeting in Spartan:
burg. Incidentally the members were
to hsYs a free dinner at spartanburg'
Nothing was. said about how much
each member, you'd throw in the
collection. The resolution was intro
duced, we presume, by some member
not used to big crowds except at
church, and when he got to Colum-
bia and saw the whole gang of legis-
lators it came into his head that it
was about time for preaching.
Preaching, is good thing, that is,
good preaching is. There are other
kinds of preaching. Not having heard
Billy Sunday preach, and not ex-
pecting ever to hear any man preach
who stands in a chair and breaches
in his shirt sleeves, we do not know
how to brand Billy's preaching: But
We do know that the members Of the
House of Representatives were not
sent. to Columbia to 60 to preaching,
except on Sunday. On that day most
of them either 60 home or already
are at home.
If however the lawmakers of the
lower house find themselves unable
to proceed without preaching, it
seems TO US that they should have the
preachers come to them. We have
some. pretty fair preachers in Abbe-
vile, anyone of whom, on proper in
vitation, we feel sure would be glad
to go to Columbia and preach to the
members any work day. These
preachers whom we have in mind
have regular congregations to serve
and if called on Sunday might not
be able to 60, but Rev. Busshardt,
who has no regular church in the
city, but who goes to Georgia every
Sunday and breaches to the heathen
over there, could do the same for the
Solons in Columbia any day in the
week or any Sunday. If the members
are still need preaching, let them
make their wants known.
