Governor Richie
Expresses Belief lin
Home Ownership

Gov. Richie of Maryland Is a
believer In home ownership. He
stated recently:
There is inbred in every man q
desire to own a home. Because of
this desire the wilderness disappears
before the advance of the pioneer
To it our towns and cities Of the
present day owe their attractive
ness. 1t is largely because of this
that the United States Is more pros
porous than 1t has ever been before.
The best minds in America and
many millions Of dollars have been
spent TO improve industrial working
conditions. Now, at last. a real eff
fort is being made to solve the prob
lens and lessen the labors of the
l1ome-maker.
"A very accurate survey made sew
eral years ago showed that In Balti-
more So 2-10 per cent of the homes
were occupied BY their owners.
There has undoubtedly been an in
crease since that time I am very
proud of this high percentage which
exists in Baltimore. because feel
that home ownership is one Of the
happiest assets that community
can have"

c. &P. ERECTSN new
OFFICE BUILDING
TELEPHONE Co.'s Structure on
Twelfth Street Is I'm
der Way.

To provide for increased telephone
service in Washington, the Chesapeake
&Potomac Telephone Co. is constructing
a large addition 10 the north of the
present building on Twelfth street,
which will provide Office space for a
number of departments OF the COM
pany now housed i'll rented quarters.
The new structure will be an adapta-
ton Of late Georgian architecture!
STYLE Emphasis upon the horizontal
cornices and band courses will be miss
ing and ii is planned TO place brick and
stone in the building TO give the mi
preston of a structure wholly OF brlcK
ornamented with stone,
The building, il is announced by
Charles A. Robinson, chief engineer OF
the company. will front 70 feet on
Twelfth street and have depth OF l54
feet to a public alley at the rear.
One of the features Of the building
will be setback at the sixth floor on
either side of the pediment, in keeping
with the pyramid style which, about a
year ago. was provided for by an amend
ment to the coming regulations. Inc
penthouse is TO be given special treat
r1ent to make ii attractive, officials or
the company say.
Because Of the nature Of the soil en-
countered in digging the foundation ana
the presence of the Main Franklin eN-
change building adjoining, the con-
struction Of this foundation has been
unusual. Test pits and borings fur
nished data which led 20 the use of a
concrete mat covering the entire eX-
cavation. This mat varies in depth from
four and one-half feet TO nine feet at
the elevator pits.
Since the basement OF the addition
Is considerably lower than that of the
present building it was necessary TO
make elaborate arrangements for I'M
derpinning the present structure.
Ii was found necessary to provide a
continuous concrete beam under the
footings of the north wall Of the build
ing The beam in turn is supported on
two rows of concrete piles for the en-
tire length Of the north wall.
The concrete piles for UNDERMINING
the present exchange building were
constructed by forcing short sections
of steel tubing into the ground by
hydraulic pressure When each section
of tubing had been forced down for its
entire length an additional section was
added to the top and this process con-
tinued until the combined length of the
sections reached the desired depth
When the entire steel shell had been
placed, the interior was filed with con-
crete.
The building is being erected by Davis.
W.ck a. Rosengarten, Washington
contractors. It was designed by voor-
hees, Gmelin & Walker.

all were gone. The foremen and Of
ficiais of the company also came or
sent out for copy. The distributing
committee received more voluntary
contributions for the paper than ever
before.
The leading article in the paper this
month was an answer to the attempt
of the officials to divide the workers
on national grounds. An appeal had
been made to the English workers
by one of the English officials
against "The Mascot"
Favorable comment has been heard
on the article, which pointed out that
workers are workers whether they
come from England, Europe, United
States or Canada.
The drive for unionization was car
ried on in this issue in an article on
the Importance and problems Of or

on the office workers to join the
union and fight with their fellows
in the shop.

planes in the marine branch of the

counting department Of Rolls Royce
office working late at night with ;
cot all ready so that he would no
even have to stop to go home. Thi'
was particularly appreciated by tn
office workers who have to work lat
