Bv Times Special


HILLSIDE, n. J.. Aug. 25.-Mix-
ing religion and business has worked
out admirably here in the erection
of the new chapel of Calvary Luth-
eran Church at Hillside. To save
money. the church council some
months ago asked the pastor, the
Rev. Oscar r. Brandorff, to take
hold of the plans and supervise the
erection of their new church. The
pastor agreed to do so. but re-
solved that the time which would
be required for this purpose would
be used also in profitable pastoral
service"
Not only was the building erected
without any great difficulties being
encountered, but as a result of their
daily contact with the Rev Bran
dorff many Of the contractors Joined
the church upon its completion.
Seventeen new members were
gained FROM among the workers on
the building and the congregation is
richer by a large number of stable
contributions made by the contrac-
tors. More than $500 wa scut from
the original low bid when the bill
was paid. even after many extras
were included. The pastor received
n donation OF the necessary steel
work. together with allowances from
the various sub-contractors. The
general contractor donated a
matched ceiling. which was not spe-
Gifted in the plans. valued at from
$500 to $500.

Trade Reviews Say
BY Alexander Hamilton Institute

OJ fAIOAdlluCA
q The first point of interest regard
ing the Belgian debt to the United
States is the large amount Of money
obtained by Belgium after the ArTni-
Etice. After he Armistice, the United
States Treasury loaned to Belgium
900, 900, as compared with only
III ,000,0 900 advanced during 1917
and 1918 before the Arnistice.
: The second point Of interest is how
much of the debt actually can
eelled and what percent will be col
lected. The $246, 100000 loaned after
the Armistice is to be paid in full
with interest at 31a per cent under
terms similar to those accorded
Great Britain. The payment is to
be spread over sixty-two years with
annual remittances amounting to a
little over $9,OOO,OOO per year.
y In collecting the $171,000, 900
loaned before the Armistice, how
ever, the element OF moral sympathy
plays a part, with the result that
70 per cent Of this debt will be vir-
tually cancelled. There Is no can
collation. Of the principal, but no in
terest will be charged. And since
the principal is to be paid in install
ments, beginning June Is, 1926, and
ending June 10, 1887, the net result
is practically the same as If $751;
100000 had been put at interest in
1918 at 31s per cent. That is, the
collection Of $171 ,000,000 by install.
ments will have a present worth in
terms Of 1918 dollars equivalent to
about $51 ,o00,0 900. The result is the
same as II $12O,00O,OO of the debt
had been cancelled in 1918 and the
remaining S51,0O0,O0O paid with in
terest at 31z per cent. In terms Of
1918 dollars America will coIect
about 80 per cent of the money
loaned before the Armistice.

GRAIN FUTURES
SHARPLY OFF
Corn and Oats Touch New
Lows on Down Turn.
BIZ United Press

BIZ United Press
CHICAGO, Aug. rs. - Grain
futures dropped sharply In trading
on the Chicago Board Of Trade to-
day.
On the downward revision corn
and oats touched new low territory.
There was a fractional rally on
profit taking near the close.
Selling by commission houses was
credited to longs, induced to unload
wheat by bearish foreign advices.
The trade was largely local in
character. A prominent feature was
the lack of aggressive support.
Outstanding features in corn was
selling instigated by improved crop
news and liberal country offerings.
oats We're naturally affected by
action in other grains. Provisions
sold lower in sympathy with hogs
and grains.

To Investigate Steel

To Investigate Steel
An attempt will be made to de-
termine If Rivet-Grip steel, manu-.
featured by n Cleveland firm Of
which Walker and Weeks are Of
ficers. was used to the exclusion Of
other steel in the Legion Bldg.
All contracts are to be thoroughly
investigated, Orr announced.
In the letter to Sonntag, Orr dis
closed that the pattern steel for the
foundation Of the main Plaza build
ing. provided in the original speci.
fications which were rejected be-
cause OF exclusion, is manufactured
by the Cleveland firm Of which both
Walker and Weeks are officers. Sub
stitute Specifications. later submitted,
Orr pointed out, will increase the
cost of the project.
Because OF changes in the plans,
Orr suggested that the Memorial
board retain a disinterested engineer
in case it is unable to free itself from
contractual obligations. Walker and
Weeks are to receive 100000 for
supervising construction Of the
Memorial buildings.
w. p. Cosgrove and Berne
Raquet, board field examiners, dis.
covered that although the patented
steel manufactured by the Cleveland
firm was not specified in the revised
plans, costs Of floors and other parts
Of the building were increased.
Steel Specified
Examination Of the plans showed
that nearly 1000 tons Of steel made
by the Rivet-Grip Steel Company of
Cleveland was specified. 1t was
learned later that Walker and
Weeks were officials Of the company.
Armen Fl. Tashjian, supervising en-
! gineer in charge OF the memorial
work for Walker and Weeks, is pres
ident Of the Rivet-Grip Company;
Frank r. Walker is vice president,
and Harry q. Weeks, secretary.
treasurer.
Rivet-gIip steel originally was
specified at $97 ton, whereas the
market steel runs from sos to S65
ton. The additional cost to the
State would have been approximate
ly 10000.
Sonntag said the board would con-
slider Orr's recommendations at its
next meeting early in September.
! w. p. Gleason Of Gary, board
member, said he did not favor dis
charging the architects or employ.
Ing an engineer. Samuel D. Royse
of Terre Haute, another board men,
Der, said no further action would
be taken until the State board of ac.
counts presented other plans.
Special Auditor
In view Of the investigation that
Is being made by the board of ac-
counts and the difficulty of keeping
close tab on construction work, it
was suggested by Orr that 1t might
be best to assign a special auditor
to the Memorial Plaza job. This
plan was used during construction
Of the State Reformatory at Pen.

Orr indicated the plan would be
brought before the State board OF
accounts at its next meeting, and II
approved. would be suggested to the
