Remixes  Concrete 

When  materials  have  passed  through  mixing  process 
once,  and  come  to  discharging  side  of  the  drum, 
the  reversed  discharge  chute  sprays  them  back  to 
the  charging  side  for  repeated  trips  through  the  5- 
action,  remixing  process.  This  spraying-showering 
action,  at  the  same  time  prevents  separation  of  aggre- 
gate according  to  size.  To  the  last  shovelful  of  every 
batch,  Koehring-mixed  concrete  is  uniform,  re-mixed 
concrete — dominant  strength  concrete— and  to  every 
last  casting  and  bearing,  the  Koehring  is  the  heavy 
duty  mixer  of  trouble-proof,  long  service  life.

FIVE    BILLIONS    FOR    BLILDING    IN 
1924    IS    PREDICTION 


In  1924  the  United  States  as  a  whole 
will  witness  the  building  oJ  $5,560,367,- 
700  worth  of  new  structures  of  every 
kind,  according-  to  a  survey  of  national 
construction  recently  completed  by  the 
Southern  California  chapter,  Associated 
General  Contractors    of   America. 

This  estimate  was  obtained  from  the 
office  of  the  le^ading  architectural  firms 
throughout  the  country  and  has  been 
subdivided  principally  under  twenty- 
two  classifications.  They  are  as  fol- 
lows: 

Automotives,  $146,322,100;  banks, 
$201,165,200;  apartments,  $586,850,000; 
apartment  hotels,  $357,368,000;  clubs, 
$313,837,100;  community  buildings, 
memorials,  $81,802,800;  dwellings.  $20,- 
000  or  under,  $227,251,000;  dwelling  of 
value  from  $20,000  to  $50,000,-  $114,-

Bricklayers   Top    Crafts    in     220273  n(vcj\^' 

Wage    Gains — Material    Costs    Shown 


Bricklayers  lead  the  field  of  labor  in 
wage  increases  gained  in  the  last  half 
century.  The  fact  is  shown  in  a  report 
of  a  survey  of  wages  and  costs  in  the 
construction  industry,  covering  a  period 
of  50  years,  just  made  public  by  Engi- 
neering News-Record  of  New  York.  In 
consistent  and  steady  gains,  the  car- 
penters come  second  to  the  bricklayers. 

Common  labor  is  shown  to  have 
achieved  the  least  proportion  of  wage 
gains,  and,  being  least  organized,  is 
shown  to  be  the  most  sensitive  of  all 
labor  elements  to  the  ups  and  downs  of 
supply  and  demand.  The  peak  of  high 
wages  for  common  laborers  came  in 
1921,  when  they  earned  77  cents  per 
hour  on  the  basis  of  an  eight-hour  day. 
Today   they  are  rated  at   68%    cents. 

Bricklayers  are  rated  today  at  $1.50 
an  hour,  for  an  eight-hour  day.  The 
1924  rate  for  carpenters  is  $1.31%  an 
hour. 

In  1874,  bricklayers  received  43  cents 
an  hour.  In  1872,  these  workmen 
started  the  eight-hour  day  and  were 
the  first  of  the  major  trades  to  work  on 
that  basis.  Carpenters  got  23  cents  an 
hour  in  1874.  They  did  not  get  the 
eight-hour  day  until  1890.  Common 
laborers  in  1874  worked  ten  hours  a 
day  and  received  14  cents  an  hour. 

Common  building  bricks  show  the 
greatest  measure  of  cost  increase,  as 
outlined  in  the  survey.  In  1874,  the 
bricks  stood  at  $7.41  per  thousand.  The 
1924  cost  is  $20.  Pig  iron.  No.  1  Foun- 
dray,  Anthracite,  cost  $30.25  per  gross 


ton  half  a  century  ago.  Today  it  is 
rated  at  $24  and  $25.  Portland  cement 
when  first  placed  on  the  market  in  1879 
was  higher  in  price  than  it  is  today, 
rating  at  $2.70  per  barrel  then  and 
$2.55  now.  In  1879,  however,  cement 
■was  sold  in  wooden  barrels  as  com- 
pared with  the  present  system  of  call- 
ing four  94-pound  sacks  a  barrel  of 
cement. 

Pine  lumber  costs  now  are  more 
than  double  those  of  50  years  ago.  In 
1874,  long-leaf  yellow  pine  boards,  1x12 
inches,  were  $26  per  thousand  feet.  To- 
day long-leaf  yellow  pine  boards  1x12 
inches,  20  feet,  sell  at  $64  a  thousand 
feet  for  No.  1  common.  In  1912,  the 
survey  shows,  pine  lumber  prices  had 
reached  a  point  not  touched  again 
until  1918.  The  slump,  which  reached 
its  lowest  point  between  1914  and  1915, 
was  caused  by  the  opening  of  the  Pan- 
ama canal,  which  made  it  possible  for 
the  Douglasfir  shippers  on  the  west 
coast  to  send  their  lowest  priced  lum- 
ber through  to  the  Atlantic  seaboard  in 
competition  with  southern  pine. 

Structural  steel,  another  construction 
Item  covered  in  the  survey,  was  held  at 
$1.20  per  100  pounds,  f.  o.  b.  Pittsburgh, 
in  1894,  and  even  as  late  as  1913  was 
only  $1.50.     Today,  it  is  listed  at  $2.25. 

Sources  quoted  in  the  survey  report 
are  the  Aldrich  report  of  the  senate 
finance  committee,  1893;  bureau  of 
labor  statistics  and  the  files  of  Engi- 
neering News-Records. 


What   is   the   Federal    Highway    Act? 


The  Federal  highway  act,  approved 
November  9,  1921,  provided  for  the 
selection  by  the  State  highway  depart- 
ments of  a  system  of  highways  not  to 
exceed  7  per  cent  of  the  total  high- 
way mileage  ot  each  State.  Upon  this 
system,  all  apportionments  of  Federal 
aid  are  to  be  expended.  The  system 
is  to  be  divided  into  two  classes, 
primary  and  secondary,  of  which  the 
former  are  not  to  exceed  three- 
sevenths  of  the  total,  the  remainder  to 
be  of  the  latter  class.  The  Secretary 
of  Agriculture  was  given  authority  to 
approve  in  whole  or  in  part  the  sys- 
tem as  designated  by  the  State  high- 
way departments  or  to  require  modi- 
fications or  revisions  thereof. 

The  total  mileage  of  existing  high- 
ways certified  by  the  States  was  2,- 
866,061  miles.  The  States  designated 
by  maps  and  route  description,  systems 
of  main  roads  totaling  in  mileage  not 
more  than  7  per  cent  of  the  certified 
mileage.  The  systems  for  groups  of 
adjoining  States  were  reviewed  by  rep- 
resentatives of  the  States  and  of  the 
Bureau  of  Public  Roads  meeting  in  a 
series  of  conferences  for  the  principal 
purpose  of  connecting  the  systems  at 
State  lines.  In  this  way  the  entire 
system  was  co-ordinated  and  recom- 
mended to  the  Secretary  of  Agriculture 
by  the  Bureau  of  Public  Roads.  The 
system  as  approved  by  the  Secretary  of 
Agriculture  and  represented  by  the 
map    published    November    1,    1923,    in- 


cludes 168.881  miles  which  is  5.9  per 
cent  of  the  certified  mileage. 

Up  to  March  1  the  Federal-aid  high- 
ways which  had  been  completed  since 
the  passage  of  the  Federal-aid  road 
act  in  1916  totaled  33,036  miles,  and 
13,800  miles  were  under  construction 
and  reported  as  59  per  cent  complete. 
The  total  of  roads  completed  and  un- 
der construction  amounted  therefore  to 
46,836  miles.  Of  the  mileage  reported 
as  completed  on  February  26,  6307  miles 
had  been  completed  during  the  current 
fiscal  year.  All  but  a  very  small  per- 
centage of  this  mileage  is  on  the  Fed- 
eral-aid highway  system  as  now 
established. 

In  addition  to  the  roads  of  the  sys- 
tem improved  with  Federal  aid,  parts 
of  it  have  been  improved  without  Fed- 
eral assistance.  A  careful  study  is  be- 
ing made  of  the  improvement  status  of 
the  system  and  an  approximate  esti- 
mate based  upon  these  incomplete 
studies  is  that  at  the  end  of  the  year 
there  were  about  60,000  miles  of  sur- 
faced roads  and  8700  miles  graded, 
which  leaves  nearly  110,000  miles  yet 
to  be  surfaced. 

To  bring  this  system  up  to  service- 
able standards,  therefore,  within  the 
full  decade  ahead,  will  mean  a  surfac- 
ing program  of  about  11,000  miles  for 
each  of  the  10  years;  this  in  addition  to 
the  additions  to  the  system,  the  sepa- 
ration of  grade  crossings,  reconstruc- 
tion,  and   much   other   work   necessary.

DEMAND   FOR  REDWOOD   LUMBER 
ON  INCREASE 


AVORK       IN 


Seven  and  a  half  million  dollars  a 
year  comes  to  California  for  redwood 
lumber.  Five  thousand  cars  are  ship- 
ped out  of  the  State,  each  car  carrying 
an  average  of  2.5.000  feet  of  redwood 
lumber,  which  is  worth  ?60  a  thousand 
or  $1500  a  car. 

This  demand  for  redwood  lumber  is 
increasing  every  year,  and  while  local- 
ly a  huge  amount  is  used  for  building 
p'urposes,  it  is  the  belief  of  the  red- 
wood manufacturers  that  as  the  re- 
markable qualities  of  redwood  become 
generally  known  and  its  durability  and 
heautv  become  recoginzed.  the  spec- 
ialty demand  for  it  will  be  such  that 
the  use  for  building  will  practically 
cease.

ARCHITECT   SUES    HOTEL    COMPANY 
FOR   »17,0<>O   FEES 


BUILD     HUGE     DOCK 


The  largest  dock  in  the  world  is 
being  built  at  Calcutta.  The  first  sec- 
tion of  the  dock  will  involve  a  total 
excavation  of  forty  million  cubic  feet. 
Work  on  the  wet  dock  portion  has  al- 
ready resulted  in  digging  about  31,- 
000,000   cubic   feet. 


MARYSVILLE,  Tuba  Co.,  Cal.— Suit 
for  $17,688  in  stock  certificates  and 
cash  has  been  filed  against  the  Marys- 
ville  Hotel  Company  in  superior  court 
bv  Edward  Glass.  San  Francisco,  ar- 
chitect employed  by  the  company  to 
draw  plans  and  specifications  for  the 
new   $400,000   hotel   to  be   built  here. 

Glass  charges  that  he  is  entitled  to 
his  fee  now.  and  has  not  been  paid. 
Through  his  attorney.  Milton  A.  Na- 
than, San  Francisco,  he  asks  a  judg- 
ment for  the  amount. 

A.  H.  Boulton,  president  of  the  hotel 
company,  answered  the  allegations  in 
the  suit.  Boulton  said  that  Glass  had 
never  fulfilled  all  of  his  contract,  and 
therefore  was  not   entitled   to  his  fee. 

"We  were  advised  by  our  attorney, 
Richard  Belcher,"  Boulton  said,  "that 
the  architect  had  not  fulfilled  his  con- 
tract yet,  and  therefore  is  not  entitled 
to  his  fee.  When  he  does  we  will  pay 
him." 

Allegations  of  Glass  that  the  hotel 
company  had  imposed  unreasonable 
terms  in  calling  for  bids  for  construc- 
tion, which  Glass  said,  kept  reputable 
and  responsible  contractors  from  bid- 
ding, Boulton  characterized  as  "child- 
ish." , 
The  suit  was  filed  with  County  Clerk 
William  M.  Strief,  and  Boulton  had  not 
consulted  with  Attorney  Belcher  when 
he  made  his  statement. 
The  suit  in  part  alleges: 
That  Glass  signed  a  contract  with 
the  company  on  May  25,  1923.  fixing  his 
lee  at  six  per  cent  of  construction 
costs,  which  later  were  fixed  at  $294,- 
800.  The  six  per  cent,  which  amounted 
to  $17,688,  was  to  be  paid  half  in  stock 
of  the  company,  and  half  in  cash. 

That  afterward,  in  calling  for  bids 
on  specifications  submitted  by  the  ar- 
chitect, the  defendants  incorporated 
terms  and  conditions  in  the  announce- 
ment "studiously  calculated  to  prevent 
reliable  and  reasonable  contractors 
from    offering   bids." 

That  the  hotel  company  now  refuses 
the  bid  that  was  submitted,  or  any 
other  bids,  and  refuses  to  proceed  with 
erection  of  the  hotel  or  with  the  terms 
of   the  contract. 


MUNY  OWNERSHIP  PAYS 


The  present  government  of  Mexico 
is  stable  and  will  protect  and  en- 
courage American  capital  invested  m 
the  development  of  the  natural  re- 
sources of  that  country,  according  to 
V  W.  Bennett,  industrial  agent  for  the 
Southern  Pacific  of  Mexico,  a  recent 
San  Francisco  visitor.  The  Southern 
Pacific  of  Mexico  is  carrying  on  a 
$15,000,000  construction  and  improve- 
ment program  which  includes  the 
building  of  110  miles  of  standard  gauge 
track  from  Tepic  on  the  Gulf  of  San 
Bias,  to  La  Quemada  east  of  the  Costal 
mountains.  This  line,  when  completed, 
will  provide  a  through  West  Coast 
line  to  Mexico  City. 


Profits  from  the  electrical  depart- 
ment of  the  city  of  Redding  during  the 
last  two  and  a  half  years,  the  length 
of  time  the  city  has  owned  the  dis- 
tributing plant,  have  amounted  to  $54.- 
242.03.  according  to  statistics  com- 
piled by  City  Clerk  Leslie  Engram.

MONTEREY    COUNTY   BUILDERS'   AS- 
SOCIATION NOMINATE  OFFICERS 


Architects    to    Feature    Exhibit 

In    New    York    City    Next    Year 


The  r.uilrting  Trades  will  have  a 
vital  interest  in  a  display  of  architec- 
ture and  architectural  accessories  that 
now  is  being  organized  with  the  idea 
of  familiarizing  architects  as  well  as 
Ihe  general  public  with  the  remarkable 
a<:hievemfents  of  our  twentieth  century 
manufacturers  of  building  materials 
and  decorative  objects  useful  in  home 
making. 

The  arts  and  trades  allied  to  archi- 
tecture will  be  illustrated  by  exhibits 
to  be  shown  at  the  Architectural  and 
Allied  Arts  Exposition,  to  be  held 
April  20  to  May  2.  1B25,  in  New  York 
Citv.  under  the  auspices  of  the  Ameri- 
can Institute  of  Architects  and  the  Ar- 
chitectural   League    of   New   York. 

The  Annual  Convention  of  the  Ameri- 
can Institute  of  Architects,  embracing 
nfly-two  chapters  throughout  the 
United  States,  will  be  held  in  New 
York  during  the  period  of  the  exhibi- 
tion, and  will  convene  in  session  in  the 
important  space  devoted  to  architec- 
ture and  the  allied  arts.  At  the  same 
time  the  fortieth  annual  exhibition  of 
the  Architectural  League  of  New  York, 
the  pre-eminent  annual  review  of  ar- 
chitecture, mural  painting,  sculpture, 
and  all  the  allied  arts  and  trades,  will 
be  held  in  galleries  created  at  the  ex- 
hibition for  this  purpose. 

In  view  of  the  fact  that  delegates 
from  every  chapter  of  the  American 
Institute  and  from  every  state  in  the 
Union  will  be  present,  at  what  un- 
doubtedly will  be  the  most  important 
convention  of  the  profession  ever  as- 
sembled in  this  country,  it  is  proposed 
to  bring  together  on  this  occasion  the 
largest,  most  representative,  and  most 
carefully  selected  series  of  architect- 
ural and  building  exhibits  ever  shown 
in  the  United  States.  This  superb  dis- 
play of  materials  used  in  the  construc- 
tion and  embellishment  of  our  apart- 
ments, houses,  and  public  buildings 
will  present  adequately  all  the  im- 
portant varieties  of  materials  useful 
for  exterior  or  interior  fitting  out  of 
American   homes. 

To  assure  representation  in  this  com- 
plete and  comprehensive  display  of  all 
varieties    of    materials      employed      m 


cr.ating  finished  buildings,  the  invi- 
tation to  participate  is  extended  to 
manufacturers,  producers,  jobbers,  and 
all  others  of  established  reputation  en- 
gaged in  the  sale  and  distribution  of 
materials  and  utilities,  and  to  firms 
whose  activities  include  interior  and 
exterior  decoration  and  every  variety 
of  manufactured  articles  of  utility  for 
architects  or  discriminating  home 
makers. 

The  comprehensive  nature  of  the  en- 
terprise therefore  will  include  stone, 
marble,  stucco,  fine  wood,  mantels,  fur- 
niture, decorative  objects  of  art,  paints, 
painted  finishes,  wall  coverings,  tiles, 
and  flooring.  In  addition,  space  will  be 
set  apart  for  practical  accsssories,  such 
as  plumbing  fixtures,  piping,  kitchen 
and  pantry  equipment,  and  other  nec- 
essities in  modern  life.  Structural 
features  like  columns,  beams,  steel 
work,  tubing,  casings,  and  other  ma- 
terials entering  into  building  construc- 
tion will  find  a  place  in  a  carefully 
thought  out   educational   display. 

The  exhibition  will  follow  through- 
out the  standards  set  by  the  Amerioon 
Institute  of  Architects  and  by  the  Ar- 
chitectural League  of  New  York,  and 
will  furnish  an  exceptional  educational 
opportunity  to  the  public  by  estab- 
lishing under  one  roof  a  visual  contact 
with  the  latest  devices  and  materials 
entering  into  the  construction  of  the 
home  and  its  deecorative  embellish- 
ment. This  unique  exposition  will  be 
correspondingly  instructive  to  the 
building  trades  and  the  technical  pro- 
fession, tending  to  develop  a  better  un- 
derstanding through  the  creation  of  an 
opportunity  for  a  thoroughly  compre- 
hensive survey  of  the  latest  appliances 
which  the  manufacturers  of  America 
have  created  and  placed  at  the  disposal 
of  the  building  industry. 

The  general  management,  business 
details,  building  design,  construction, 
and  exhibition  administration  will  be 
directed  by  Charles  H.  Green,  who  is 
well  known  for  his  promotion  of  other 
educational  exhibitions  in  which 
valuable  results  have  been  obtained  for 
the   varied   industries.

countered  during  the  War  In  the  pro- 
duotlDn  oC  iiuanlltles  of  Interchange- 
able ammunition,  during  the  ejirllest 
Htagi's  of  which  due  to  a  lack  of  ade- 
i|uate  gaping  systems,  groat  losses  and 
gerious  delays  were  experienced.  It 
was  only  after  the  Introduction  of 
such  a  gaging  system  that  enormous 
mass  production  of  acceptable  material 
became  possible.  Serious  consideration 
Is  now  being  given  to  this  same  prob- 
lem as  a  means  of  furthering  mass 
production  throughout  the  mechanical 
Industries,  and  a  representative  tech- 
nical committee  Is  now  developing  a 
uniform  gaging  system  to  this  end, 
under  the  auspices  of  the  American 
ICnginecring  Standards  Committee. 

In  connection  with  the  standard,  the 
si)onsors  are  issuing  two  publications: 
one  for  the  use  of  fire  chiefs  and  su- 
perintendent.s  of  water  works,  ex- 
plaining In  simple  terms  the  methods 
of  securing  complete  interchange- 
ability,  through  the  use  of  inspection 
gages:  and  the  other,  for  the  guidance 
of  manufacturers. 

The  experience  of  cities  which  have 
changed  over  from  non-standard  to 
standard  couplings  has  shown  that  the 
savings  resulting  from  use  of  standard 
couplings,  in  the  course  of  a  few 
years  more  than  pays  for  the  cost  of 
the  change,  to  say  nothing  of  the.  re- 
duction   of   fire    hazards. 

Notwithstanding  the  great  amount  of 
work  which  has  been  accomplished  by 
the  organizations  already  mentioned 
and  by  numerous  others,  such  as  the 
Bureau  of  Standards,  and  the  Chamber 
of  Commerce  of  the  U.  S.  A.,  much  yet 
remains  to  be  done  that  will  require 
continued  and  united  effort.  Commer- 
cial and  civic  organizations  have  a  very 
real  responsibility  in  bringing  about 
the  adoption  of  the  American  National 
Screw  Thread  for  Fire  Hose  Couplings 
by  their  own  cities  and  towns,  where 
assistance  of  other  fire  departments 
may  at  any  time  be  sorely  needed. 


CLAIM  FILLINGS  FOR  OVERCHARGE 
AGAIXST    RAIL    CARRIERS 


Th.5  Traffic  Bureau  of  the  San  Fran- 
cisco Chamber  of  Commerce  is  direct- 
ing the  attention  of  all  local  shippers 
to  the  amendment  to  the  transportation 
act  of  1920  which  permits  shippers 
three  years'  time  in  which  to  file  claim 
for  refund  or  suit  for  recovery  on 
overcharge  claims  against  the  rail 
carriers. 

The  transportation  act  of  1920  al- 
lowed the  carriers  three  years  to  file 
claim  or  suit  against  the  shipper  for 
collection  of  undercharge  and  al- 
lowed the  shipper  only  two  years  in 
which  to  file  suit  against  the  carriers 
for  collection  of  overcharges.  This 
amendment  to  the  act  now  equalizes  the 
time  of  both  shipper  and  carrier  to 
commence  action. 

The  amendment,  as  passed  by  Con- 
gress, provides  that  shippers  may  file 
claim  with  the  Interstate  Commerce 
Commission  or  bring  suit  within  six 
months  after  June  7,  1924,  the  date  on 
which  the  bill  was  signed  by  the 
I'resident,  on  all  claims  which  ac- 
crued on  or  after  March  1,  1920.

Agreement   on    Lumber   Scale 

Averts    Strike    in    Fresno 


Peace  and  harmony  were  restored  to 
the  building  industry  of  Fresno  June 
24,  when  the  joint  conference  board 
consisting  of  five  representatives  from 
both  the  Fresno  Builders'  Exchange 
and  Fresno  Building  Trades  Council 
signed  a  working  agreement  covering 
the  working  rules  which  shall  govern 
both  the  employer  and  employe  in  the 
industry,  and  the  wages  for  the  various 
crafts  for   the  coming  year. 

The  agreement  Is  now  in  effect,  and 
it  is  practically  a  renewal  of  the  old 
agreement  adopted  in  1922  and  ob- 
served until  midnight  on  June  16,  with 
the  exception  of  an  amended  section. 

The  language  of  this  section  has 
been  cleared  up  and  no"w  permits 
either  of  the  parties  to  the  agreement 
to  open  negotiations  through  the  con- 
ference board  looking  toward  a  new 
wage    scale. 

The  language  of  the  amended  section 
is    worded    as    follo\%^s: 

"The.  wage  scale  now  being  paid  in 
Fresno  in  the  building  industry  shall 
continue  to  be  paid  hereafter  unless 
changes  in  the  wage  scale  are  agreed 
to  by  the  joint  conference  board,  which 
board  shall  have  the  sole  power  to 
make  such   change. 

"However,  it  is  mutually  agreed  that 
either  of  the  parties  to  this  agreement 
may  at  any  time  it  desires  open  nego- 
tiations through  the  joint  conference 
board,  looking  toward  a  new  wage 
scale." 

Original    Section 

The  original  section  covering  this 
point  read  as  follows; 

"The  present  existing  wage  scale 
now  being  paid  in  the  building  in- 
dustry in  Fresno  shall  be  continued 
during  the  life  of  this  agreement,  with 
the  understanding,  however,  that  if 
conditions  arise  during  the  life  of  this 
agreement  which  tend  to  jeopardize  the 
building  industry  in  this  community, 
then  the  joint  conference  board  shall 
have  the  power  to  effect  readjustment 
consistent  with  conditions  then  pre- 
vailing." 

The  new  agreement  has  been  ap- 
proved by  both   the  Valley     Industrial 


Association  and  the  lumbermen  of  the 
city,  whose  action  in  announcing  a 
reduction  in  wages  of  lumber  yard 
laborers  and  teamsters  to  the  extent  of 
one  dollar  a  day  threatened  industrial 
strife    here. 

Discontinuation  of  the  old  agree- 
ment on  Monday,  June  16,  at  midnight, 
resulted  from  a  deadlock  reached  by 
the  conference  board  over  a  request  by 
the  Builders'  Exchange  group  for  an 
extension  of  60  days  in  which  to  make 
a  survey  of  conditions.  The  building 
trades  representatives  asked  for  an 
immediate  signing  of  the  agreement. 
This  met  with  refusal  and  so  negotia- 
tions  were    discontinued. 

On  the  following  day  the  lumber- 
men announced  the  cut  in  wages  of 
their  employes. 

The  conference  board  was  called  into 
session  Saturday,  June  21,  after  a  pro- 
posal for  arbitration  had  been  pre- 
sented by  the  industrial  association. 
Terms  outlined  by  the  board  Saturday 
met  with  the  approval  of  both  factions 
concerned  and  resulted  in  the  reaching 
of  the  agreement,  which  is  known  as 
the  Fresno  plan. 

The  wage  scale  in  effect  for  the 
coming  year  under  the  agreement  fol- 
lows: 

Plumbers    .' f   9.25 

Steam    fitters    9.25

SACRAMENTO.  Cal. — The  last  block 
of  state  highway  bonds  remaining 
from  a  bond  issue  of  $40,000,000  voted 
four  years  ago  was  sold  today  by  State 
Treaturer  Charles  G.  Johnson  to  a 
syndicate  of  eight  members  at  a  pre- 
mium of  $1S1,500.  The  block,  consisting 
of  $3,000,000  worth  of  bonds  bearing 
interest  at  4%  per  cent,  was  sold  to 
the  following  firms  comprising  the 
syndicate;  Anglo-London  and  Paris 
Company  of  San  Francisco;  Bank  of 
Italy;  Eldredge  and  Company;  New 
York;  First  National  Bank  of  New

and  Schwacher  &  Company,  San  Fran- 
cisco. 


According  to  a  recent  report  of  the 
State  Railroad  Commission  of  Califor- 
nia, 21,221,928  passengers  were  trans- 
ported by  common  carriers  using  motor 
transportation  during  1922.  A  large 
portion  of  this  traffic  is  over  state 
highways .  The  revenues  of  these 
carriers  from  purely  motor  operations 
totaled  $15,549,349  and  their  operating 
expenses  were  $14,322,725.  Reports  filed 
with  the  commission  showed  1616  pas- 
senger cars,  959  freight  cars  and  335 
other  pieces  of  equipment  in  use.  In- 
cluding leased  vehicles  and  equip- 
ment not  reported  by  small  lines,  the 
commission  estimates  3300  cars,  trucks, 
and  trailers  devoted  to  cominon  car- 
rier  purposes   in   California. 


ANOTHER  USE  FOR  BRICK 


M.  F.   GALE   PASSES   AWAY 


A  supporter  of  a  local  football  team 
arrived  at  the  ground  one  day  and  saw 
a  load  of  bricks.  He  approached  the 
club  secretary  and  asked,  "Wouldn  t 
halt-bricks  have  been  better?"  "Halt- 
bricks?"  replied  the  secretary,  "we 
couldn't  build  a  pavilion  with  balf- 
bricks!"  "Oh!  Are  they  tor  a  pavilion? 
said  the  man.  "My  mistake.  I  thought 
they  were  for  the  referee." 


M.  F.  Gale,  one  of  the  old  time  con-

Final   Payment  on   Government  Contracts   is   Cause 

for   Comment 


The  following  editorial,  under  the 
caption  •■Contractor  Soaked  Again 
was  published  in  the  June  5  issue  of 
the  U  S.  Government  Advertiser,  and 
will  prove  of  interest  to  contractors 
engaged  in  construction  work  for  ine 
Federal  Government; 

The  enactment  of  the  Madden  bill  by 
this  Congress  will  not  be  necessary  m 
so  far  as  the  Navy  Department  is  con- 
cerned, judging  from  the  act.on  taken 
by  the  Secretary  of  the  Navy,  Curtis  D. 
Wilbur,  in  a  recent  conference  v/Uh  the 
comptroller  general  on  the  quesUon  of 
who  had  jurisdiction  to  make  final  iia> 
ments  under  contracts  containing  a 
liquidated  damage  clause.  As  a-  "S"" 
of  this  conference  an  agreement  was 
reached  whereby  the  Navy  Depa  trneT,t 
surrendered  to  the  general  c'coounting 
office  all  the  jurisdiction  it  Pof ^^ff^ 
over  consideration  of  the  cause  of  delay 
in  delivery  of  supplies  or  the  comp.e- 
tion  of  construction  contracts  as  weil 
as  the  payment  of  amounts  retained 
from  cur'^ent  payments  under  ^ontracts 
pending  final  settlement  of  the  ques- 
tion of  delays. 

Contracts  tor  the  delivery  ■^f  supplies 
and  for  the  construction  of  "J-''!'^-  t"!''"- 
ings,    machinery,    etc.,    heretofore    exe- 
cuted  by   the   Navy   Department,    have, 
?n  all   cases,   contained   ^laa^^^s   provid- 
ing for  liquidated  damages  for  delay  m 
delivery  or  delay  in  completion  und  an 
additional   clause   which   permitted    'ne 
Navy  Department  to  retain  10  per  ceu. 
of  each  and  every  payment  made  under 
?he    contract   pending    final    completion 
of    delivery    or    construction.       U    has 
heretofore  been  the  practice  of  the  of- 
ficials of  the  Navy  Department,  prmci- 
palty  those  in  control  of  the  activities 
of  the  bureau  of  supplies  and  accounts 
bureau  of  yards  and  docks  and  bureau 
of    construction    and    repair    to    deter- 
mine  whether   the   cause   of   delay   was 
attributed    to    the    Government    and    to 
make    the    final    payments    under    con- 
Tracts  as  the  result  of  ^^f^/^^'^JS'?^; 
tion.      Such   final   payment   included  the 
io    per    cent    retained    from    the    con- 
tractor when   each  payment  was  made 
less  amount  of  liquidated   damages  as- 
sessed,  and,   of   course,   was  an   item   of 
considerable    importance    to    the    inai 
vidual    contractor.      This    practice    has 
been  abandoned  by  the  Secretary  of  the 
Navy  and  it  will  now  be  impossible  for 
any   contractor   to   receive    payment   ot 
the    amounts    retained    from    Payments 
made   until   after   an   inspection   by   the 
Comptroller  general  of  all  the  evidence 
connected    with    the    execution    of    the 
contract,   including  the  cause  of  delay, 
of  any      This  surrender  of  jurisdiction 
fs  made  by   the   Secretary  of  the  Navy 
in  a  recent  communication  to  the  comp- 
troller   general,    wherein    is    announced 
the  points  conceded  by  the  Secretary  of 
the  Navy  to  the  comptroller  general  as 
a  result  of  the  settlement  of  the  contro- 
versy which  had   raged   for   some   time 
between    the    comptroller    general    and 
the  Navy  Department  during  the  period 
Mr.  Edwin  Denby  was  Secretary  of  the 
Navy. 

The  points  involved  in  contracts  con- 
taining liquidated  damage  clauses  con- 
ceded by  the  secretary  of  the  Navy  to 
be  under  the  jurisdiction  of  the  comp- 
troller general  may  be  summarized  as 
follows; 

That    contracts    for   supplies    for    the 

l^'Zll's^Z  '\TAiT'  IK^uidfted 
damage  cTat^se°?'but  that  all  construc- 
rfon  contracts  should  contain  such 
clauses  that  when  contracts  executed 
bv  the  Navy  Department  do  contain 
muidlted    damage    clauses    the    Navy 


Department   will   not   Pay .  to    the    con 
tractor    the    amount    retained    by    the 
Government    under      the   terms      of    the 
contract    pending    final    completion    of 
?he   work   or   the   delivery  in   any   case 
where  there  is  any   indication   of  a  de- 
lay Ind  liquidated  damages  may  possi- 
bly   hav"  accrued;    that    in    such    cases 
tie  N-Ivy  Department  will  transmit  to 
the    general    accounting    office    all    tne 
evidence  in  the  files  of  that  department 
Tnd  the  voucher  covering  the  final  pay- 
ment   for   determination   by   the  comp- 
troller general  as  to  whether  or  not  the 
delay    was    excusable    under    the    terms 
of  the  contract  and  has   to  whether  or 
not  anv  money  retained  by  the  Govern- 
menrshould  be  paid  to  the  contractor 
(It  is  understood  that  the  Secretary  of 
the  Navy  is  permitted  under  the  agree- 
ment to  make  such  recommendation  as 
he  may  deem  proper  to  the  comptroller 
eeneral   when    transmitting   the   vouch- 
frs   and   evidence   for   final    settlement 
but  it  is  apparent  to  all  who  have  had 
previous    experience      with    the      comp- 
troller general  that  such  recommenda- 
Uons    will    receive    scant    consideration 
when    the    settlement    is    made    b>    the 
comptroller   general  and   therefore   this 
concession    mav      be    eliminated      from 
coSsfderaUon   6f   the    effect   the   agree- 
ment may   have   on   the   rights   of   con- 
tactors )      That    if    the    Navy    Depart- 
ment has  decided  that  there  should  be 
"o    deduction    from    the    contract    price 
on  account  of  delay  in  delivery  or  de- 
lay   in    completion    because    the    delay 
was  occasioned  by  the  Government  and 
was  not  the  fault  of  the  contractor    the 
Navy  Department  nevertheless  will  not 
make    payment    of    the    10    per    cent    or 
Tuch   otheramount   as   may   have   been 
detained    but  will  advise  the  contractor 
that  if  he  wants  to  receive  payment  of 
suck   retained  amount   he   will   have  to 
submit      his   voucher      to    the      general 
Icc^nting   office   for   payment    thereof 
and   that   the  Navy   Department  agrees 
fo  submit  all  evidence  in  its  possession 
to  the  general  accounting  office  for  its 
cSnsidelation    in    determining    whether 
or    not    any    amount    is    due    the    con- 
tractor-   that    when    the    Navy    Depart- 
ment   entertains    any    doubt    as    to    the 
legality   of   any   payment  under   a   con- 
truction  contract  that  preliminary  bills 
may  be  paid  so  that  the  contractor  may 
^e  '^luUed    into    a    position    of    security 
which  may  induce  him  to  complete  the 
work     but   the    bills   for   final   payment 
on   completion   of   the   work   of   service 
will  be  referred  to  the  general  account- 
ing  office   for   such   instructions   as    the 
comptroller  general  may  desire  to  give 
the  secretary  of  the  Navy  or  for  direct 
settlement   by    the    general    accounting 
office. 


The  above  agreement  is  an  exhibition 
of  the  most  absolute  surrender  by  an 
administrative  department  of  this  Gov- 
ernment to  the  general  accounting  of- 
fice of  its  rights  and  legal  prerogatives 
that  has  so  far  come  to  our  notice,  it 
is  an  admission  that  the  officials  and 
employees  of  the  Navy  Department  ara 
not  to  be  trusted  with  the  settlemerit 
of  any  contract  which  contains  a  liqui- 
dated damage  cause.  It  is  not  evident 
from  our  information  whether  the  Sec- 
retary of  the  Navy  has  arrived  at  thl& 
conclusion  regarding  his  force  as  a  re- 
sult of  ignorance  or  crookedness  on 
their  part  .It  is  certain,  however,  that 
it  could  only  be  one  of  these  causes, 
ignorance  of  the  law  governing  con- 
tractual relations  between  the  Govern- 
ment and  its  citizens,  or  crookedness 
on  the  part  of  the  officials  in  making 
settlements  with  contractors,  that 
would  cause  the  present  Secretary  of 
the  Navy,  a  man  renowned  for  his  legal 
knowledge,  to  take  such  drastic  and 
unprecedented  action.  Does  the  Secre- 
tary of  the  Navy  realize  that  he  has 
agreed  to  submit  every  action  he  taKes 


under    a    contract    which    contains    a 
liquidated  damage  clause  to  the  comp- 
troller   general    for    review?    Does    he 
realize  that  he  has  abandoned  the  con- 
tractors   who    have    been    loyal    to    the 
Xavv  Department  and  who  have  played 
fair  in  their  dealings  with  that  depart- 
ment to  the  jurisdiction  of  an  autocrat, 
who  refuses  to  recognize  even  the  de- 
cisions   of    the    Supreme    Court   of    this 
United  States  as  binding  on  him  in  de- 
termining  questions   submitted  for  his 
consideration?  Does  he  realize  that  he 
has   announced    to    the    world   that   his 
legal  force,   that   is.  the   legal  force  ot 
the  Navy  Department,  is  not  competent 
to  correctly  solve  the  legal  obligations 
of    the    Government   to    its   contractors 
under  any  contract  containing  a  liqui- 
dated damade  clause?     Why     should    a 
contractor   be   lulled   into   a   feeling   of 
security    that    everything    is    satisfac- 
tory to  the  party  of  the  second  part  un- 
der a  contract,  or  It  may  be  under  the 
terms  of  the  contract  the  party  of  the 
first  part,   only   to   have   a   legal   scrap 
to    secure    payment   cast   upon    him   by 
the  arbitrary  action  of  the  comptroller 
general  in  refusing  to  make  final  pay- 
ment   of    the    retained    percentage,    al- 
though  the  Navy   Department  officials 
have    reached   the    conclusion    that   the 
contractor   is    entitled   to    receive   pay- 
ment of  such  retained  percentage? 

There  are  many  other  things  which 
Mr.  Wilbur  overlooked  when  he  made 
the  above  described  concessions  to  the 
comptroller  general,  but  space  pre- 
cludes us  from  reciting  them,  although 
any  attorney  could  advise  Mr.  Wilbur 
as  to  their  existence.  Suffice  it  to  say 
that,  in  our  opinion,  the  Navy  Depart- 
ment is  placed  in  a  position,  by  this 
surrender  of  jurisdiction,  that  it  will 
many  times  wish  to  escape  from.  We 
wonder  what  kind  of  bait  the  comp- 
troller general  used  in  his  conference 
with  Mr.  Wilbur  that  it  could  have 
succeeded  in  extracting  from  a  man  of 
such  eminent  legal  education  and  ex- 
perience an  agreement  whereby  he 
surrenders  his  legal  rights  to  conduct 
the  affairs  of  an  important  department 
of  this  Government  to  another  official. 
It  is  an  absolute  surrender  of  legal 
rights  no  other  term  fits  the  transac- 
tion, and  the  great  surprise  is  that 
the  surrender  is  made  by  a  jurist  of 
considerable  reputation  and  renown. 


There  is  out  one  avenue  of  escape 
from  the  consequences  of  the  action 
taken  by  the  head  of  the  Navy  Depart- 
ment as  described  above.  Such  escape 
may  be  accomplished  by  the  Navy  De- 
partment's contracting  officials  re- 
fraining from  inserting  In  any  contract 
a  clause  providing  for  the  deduction  of 
liquidated  damages,  thereby  prevent- 
ing the  comptroller  general  from  ac- 
quiring jurisdiction  under  the  agree- 
ment made  with  the  Secretary  of  the 
Navy  Any  other  method  of  escape 
would  necessitate  the  Secretary  of  the 
Navy  repudiating  the  agreement,  and 
that  is  not  to  be  expected.  The  comp- 
troller general  can  not  be  censured  for 
endeavoring  to  extend  the  scope  of  hia 
authority  and  thereby  maintain  his 
war-time  force  intact,  by  providing 
new  duties  for  them  to  perform  in  lieu 
of  those  war-time  duties  which  have 
been  completed.  The  Secretary  of  the 
Navy  and  his  advisors  are,  however, 
not  free  from  censure  in  having  made 
such  an  inexcusable  concession  to  the 
comptroller  general.

.SPKCIFICATIONS      FOR,      CA.ST      IRON 
PIPE 


At  a  conference  in  New  York  on 
June  5th,  it  was  decided  that  there 
should  be  undertaken  a  general  pro- 
gram of  unifying  existing  specifica- 
tions for  cast  iron  pipe  into  a  con- 
sistent set  of  nationally  recognized 
specifications. 

Consideration  of  the  subject  was  in- 
troduced by  a  comprehensive  paper  by 
Mr.  W.  G.  Hammerstrom,  which  out- 
lined tile  present  practice,  not  only  of 
various  organizations  who  have  issued 
formal  specifications,  such  as  the 
American  Water  Works  Association, 
The  American  Ga^  Association  and  the 
American  Society  for  Testing  Mater- 
ials, but  indicated  the  more  usual  com- 
mercial departures  from  and  exten- 
sions of  these  standards.  Mr.  Hammer- 
strom also  outlined  the  foreign  prac- 
tice, with  particular  reference  to  the 
work  of  the  British,  Ji"rench  and  Ger- 
man x.*ast  iron  pipe  industries. 

After  a  very  thorough  discussion  of 
the  various  problems  concerned  in  the 
proposal  to  bring  about  national  uni- 
formity in  the  industry,  agreement 
was  reached  on  the  following"  scope  for 
this   work: 

Unification  and  development  of  spec- 
ifications for  cast  iron  pipe,  including: 
materials;  dimensions;  pressure 

ratings:    metliods    of    manufacture,    in- 


iluding  such  new  developments  as  cen- 
trifugal casting,  in  so  far  as  they  may 
be  necessary  to  secure  satisfactory  re- 
sults in  preparation  of  workable  speci- 
fications; elimination  of  unnecessary 
sizes  and  varieties;  consideration  of  the 
possibility  of  developing  a  co-ordinated 
scheme  of  metallic  pipe  and  fittings  ap- 
plicable to  all  common  mediums,  (pos- 
sibly along  the  lines  of  the  work  being 
carried  on  in  Europe  on  the  same  sub- 
ject); and  methods  of  making  up  joints 
in  so  far  as  they  are  determining  as  to 
the  dimensional  design  of  cast  iron 
pipe. 

The  types  of  cast  iron  pipe  under 
standardization  are  to  include:  (a) 
Flanged  pipe;  (b)  Flanged  and  bell 
mouth  fittings  and  wall  castings;  (c) 
Pipe  elbows,  tees,  T's,  return  bends, 
and  other  fittings  not  now  included  in 
standard  lists;  (d)  Cast  iron  pipe 
threaded  for  flanges  or  couplings;  (e) 
Soil  pipe  and  other  light  types  of  cast 
iron   pipe  and  fittings. 

The  work  will  be  co-ordinated  with 
that  of  the  existing  sectional  com- 
mittee on  pipe  flanges  and  fittings, 
which  is  already  well  advanced  under 
the  sponsorship  of  the  American  So- 
ciety of  Mechanical  Engineers,  the 
Manufacturers  Standardization  Society 
of  the  Valve  and  Fittings  Industry  and 
the.  Heating  and  Piping  Contractors 
National  Association. 

It  was  recommended  that  the  work 
be  carried  out  by  a  sectional  com- 
mittee under  the  auspices  and  pro- 
cedure of  the  American  Engineering 
Standards  Committee,  and  under  the 
joint  sponorship  of  the  American  Gas 
Association,  the  American  Water- 
works Association,  and  the  American 
Society  for  Testing  Materials,  and  for- 
mal recommendations  to  this  effect 
were   made   to   the  ABSC. 

At  its  meeting  on  June  12th,  the 
AESC  formally  ratified  the  recommen- 
dations of  the  Conference,  and  desig- 
nated the  three  organizations  named  as 
joint  sponsors   for   the   work. 

The  Conference  presented  a  true 
cross-section  of  the  American  Cast 
Iron  Pipe  industry — the  men  present 
serving  as  representatives  of  prac- 
tically every  organization  concerned 
in   the  subject. 


YUBA  CITY,  Sutter  Co.,  Cal.— Fire 
of  incendiary  origin  is  believed  to 
liave  caused  the  complete  destruction 
of  the  Lincoln  school,  four  miles  from 
here,  recently.  The  loss  is  estimated 
at   $25,000. 


PREVENTING   VARNISH   BUBBLES 


Air  in  the  Varnish  causes  bubbles. 
To  prevent  this  never  shake  the  large 
containing  can,  and  when  pouring  into 
the  brush  have  the  outlet  of  the  con- 
taining can  at  the  top  so  that  the 
varnish  will  flow  from  the  top  as  would 
water  over  the  edge  of  a  tilted  bucket.

AKL.\ND        SCHOOLS        CONDEMNED 
BY    S.   F.   ENGINEERS 


I  Construction  of  the  McClyraonds  and 
l.oosevelt  High  schools  in  Oakland  is 
ach  as  should  not  be  allowed  In  any 
:hool  building. 

1  The  buildings  are  a  hodge-podge,  of 
111  kinds  of  materials. 
The  Are  hazard  of  the  stages,  with 
paces  above,  is  very  great. 
,  These  were  the  outstanding  features 
f  the  report  of  C.  H.  Snyder  and  J.  D. 
alloway,  San  Francsico  engineers,  re- 
fined by  the  Alameda  county  grand 
|iry  to  conduct  technical  investigations 
'f  the  two  buildings,  erected  under  the 
'-hool  bond  issue  of  1919,  which  is 
•'nder  investigation  for  the  second  time 
|y  a  grand   jury. 

I  The  report  was  submitted  to  the 
rand  jury  and  signed  and  released  by 
'le  members. 
Commenting  on  the  generaJ  conr 
ruction  of  the  two  buildings,  the  en- 
ineers  said; 

■  "In  the  earthquake  of  1906,  build- 
hgs  of  this  type,  as  at  Stanford  Uni- 
versity, Menlo  Park,  San  Jose  Normal 
|;hool,  and  Agnews  asylum,  were 
verywhere  thrown  down  with  loss  of 
fe.  We  are  of  the  opinion  that  an 
irthquake  of  equal  intensity  to  that 
t  1906  will  wreck  the  two  buildings 
nder  revieTV." 

The  engineers  reported  that 
iroughout  both  structures  there  is

CHARGE.S   OK   FOREIGN   CEMENT 
DV.MPI.NG  ARE  PROBED 

Charges  that  foreign  producers  of 
cement  are  dumping  cement  in  the  U. 
S.  at  prices  below  home  market  values 
arc  being  investigated  by  the  Treasury 
Department.  McKenzie  Moss,  assistant 
secretary  of  the  treasury,  conducted  a 
hearing  at  Washington  June  6  and  all 
intbrested  parties  were  asked  to  file 
briefs  by  July  15.  A  decision  is  ex- 
pected in  September. 

Investigations  made  by  H.  A.  Hay- 
ward,  in  charge  of  the  dumping  law 
section  of  the  custom  law  division,  he 
reported  at  the  hearing,  have  not  been 
finished.  Moreover  the.  evidence  is  not 
conclusive  in  all  cases.  Sales  of  Nor- 
way cement  have  been  made  in  the  U. 
S.  less  than  the  home  market,  German 
and  Swedish  manufacturers  have  re- 
fused to  permit  an  examination  of  their 
books,  Belgian  cement  has  been  sold  at 
prices  higher  than  the  home  market, 
and  comparisons  on  cement  from  Den- 
mark have  been  difficult  because  of  the 
difference  in  the  sizes  of  the  lots  sold 
in  the  home  market  and  abroad.  He 
regarded  it  as  doubtful  if  there  had 
been  any  dumping  of  English  cement. 

Pacific  coast  manufacturers  were  rep- 
resented at  the  hearing  by  Jesse  P. 
Crawford  of  Washington,  who  produced 
a  number  of  invoices  in  support  of  the 
charge  of  dumping.  He  said  shipments 
of  cement  from  Norway  had  been  sold 
at  75  cents  per  bbl.  below  the  home 
market,  cement  from  Sweden  was  sold 
at  $1.15  below  the  home  market.  Bel- 
gium 40  cents  and  Danish  37  cents  be- 
low the  home  market.  Imports  during 
the  first  four  months  of  the  year  from 
these  countries,  he  said,  aggregated 
615,470    bbls. 

Importers  of  cement  denied  the 
charges  of  dumping  and  said  sales 
were  made  at  a  small  profit  and  some- 
times even  at  a  loss.

Los  Angeles  building  total  for  June, 
1924,  passed  the  ten  million  mark. 
During  the  month  the  city  building  de- 
partment issued  3387  permits  with  an 
estimated  valuation  of  $10,292,524.  For 
the  same  month  a  year  ago  the  number 
of  permits  was  5094  and  the  estimated 
valuation  was  $15,074,446.  For  the  first 
six  months  of  1924  the  number  of  per- 
mits issued  was  27,748  with  an  esti- 
mated valuation  of  $7?, 828, 738,  as  com- 
pared with  29,678  permits  with  an  esti- 
mated valuation  of  $93,889,185  for  the 
corresponding  period  in  1923.  The 
record  by  months  for  1924  and  com- 
parative figures  for  1923  follows:

Class  A  construction  for  June 
amounted  to  $1,221,000,  Class  C  con- 
struction to  $1,371,550  and  Class  D,  all 
frame  construction,  to  $5,113,193. 
Housing  operations  for  June  were  rep- 
resented by  1160  permits  for  dwellings 
and  apartment  houses,  estimated  to 
cost  $4,752,087.  These  buildings  will 
provide  accommodations  for  1717  fam- 
ilies, or  an  addition  of  approximately 
7900  to  the  city's  population. 


Information  gathered  recently  in  a 
number  of  states  strikingly  demon- 
strates the  nonuniformity  of  concrete 
u.sed  in  pavements.  The  information 
consisted  of  the  results  of  compres- 
sion tests  on  cores  drilled  from  pave- 
ments and  it  can  be  safely  stated  that 
the  situation  disclosed  is  reflected  in 
general  by  concrete  pavements 
throughout  the  country. 

For  e.xample.  in  one  of  the  Eastern 
States  the  extreme  range  of  strengths 
varied  from  34  to  174  per  cent  of  the 
average  strength.  This  occurred  with 
drilled  cores  which  were  five  months 
old  at  the  time  of  test.  The  minimum 
range  for  any  particular  age  was  from 
86  to  121  per  cent  of  the  average 
strength.  One  of  the  Middle  Western 
States  reported  on  several  projects 
an  average  strength  of  4,417  lb.  per  sq. 
in.  with  an  average  minimum  of  2,965 
and  an  average  maximum  of  6,161 
lb.  per  sq.   in. 

Reflecting  on  the  significance  of  this 
situation,  remarks  Public  Roads,  it 
may  be  pertinent  to  inquire  which 
would  be  preferred,  a  pavement  which 
has  a  range  in  strength  from  2,000  to 
4,000  lb.  per  sq.  in.  or  one  which  has 
a  range,  say,  from  2,700  to  3,300  lb. 
per  sq.  in.?  The  answer  to  this  ques- 
tion is  largely  one  of  design.  In  the 
former  case  it  is  not  practicable  to 
take  advantage  of  the  higher  or  aver- 
age strengths  because  there  are  parts 
of  the  pavement  which  yield  only 
2.000-lb.  concrete.  With  the  more 
nearly  constant  strength,  the  design 
can  be  based  with  some  degree  of  con- 
fidence on  3,000-lb.  concrete. 

In  other  words,  it  is  desirable  from 
both  economic  and  practical  stand- 
points that  the  construction  of  con- 
crete pavements  be  so  controlled  that 
the  properties  of  the  concrete  will  be 
uniform.  If  this  uniformity  is  ob- 
tained, the  design  can  be  based  on  con- 
crete of  predetermined  strength  and 
the  factor  of  safety  required  to  cover 
the  variations  in  the  quality  of  the 
concrete  can  be  materially  reduced. 

It  is  chiefly  with  the  hope  of  con- 
trolling the  construction  in  such  a 
manner  as  to  give  this  much-desired 
uniformity  of  the  concrete  that  the  U. 
S.  Bureau  of  Public  Roads  proposes  to 
try  out  an  improved  method  of  con- 
trol on  an  actual  paving  project. — En-

THE  OBSERVER 

WHAT  HE  HEARS  AND  SEES  ON  HIS  ROUNDS 


A  bond  election  for  $16,000,000  for  the 
general     improvement    of     the     electric 
generating   and   distributing   system    of 
the  city  of  Los  Angeles  is  recommend- 
ed   to   ihat   city    by    the    State    Railroad 
commission.     The  recommendation  was 
based  on   an   approval   of   the   situation 
which  was  asked  of  the  commission  by 
the    public    service    commission    of    Los 
Angeles.       The     request     predicted     the 
Failure    of    a    proposed    bond    issue    to 
twenty-one    million    for    the    improve- 
ment     The   bond   issue   would   call   for 
ihe    erection    of    adequate    substations, 
the      extension      of    the      transmission

Unes   with   the   system   of   the   Southern 
California    Edison     Company.       It     was 
noted  in  the  commission's  fecommenda- 
tion    that   a   bond    issue    election    could 
not   be   held   within   six  months   of   tlie 
previous     bond     election,     according     to

mended that  such  initiative  measure  be 
framed  at  once  and   the  neces.sary   pe- 
titions  circulated. 


Building  permits  issued  in  Portland, 
Ore  this  year  show  a  large  gain  over

as  the  result  ot  a  scalding  sustained  on 
June  13  at  the  plant  when  he  was  in- 
specting a  broken  steam  pipe.  Roloft

ot  the  Associated  Manufacturers  of  the 
East  Bav  Cities  at  Idora  Park,  Oak- 
land, for  nine  days,  beginning  Sept.  2i. 
The  Manufacturers'  exposition,  an  an- 
nual event  in  Oakland,  is  regarded  a 
business  liarometer  of  the  activities  of 
the  East  Bay  cities.  At  the  exposition 
the  history  and  growth  of  the  indus-

that  year  produced  187,025  thousands  of 
of  brick  as  compared  with  aj,uu3 
thousands  produced  in  1921,  the  rate  of 
increase  being  101.1  per  cent.  The 
value  of  the  production  in  1923  was 
$2  176,453,  and  in  1921,  $1,214,678,  an  in- 
crease of  79.2  per  cent.  The  average

from  $13.06  in  1921  to  $11.63  in  1923. 

Breaking  all  records,  building  in 
Alameda  passed  the  $2,000,000  mark

HKQllHK.n     OF     SAN 
CONTHAtTOKS 


Plans  for  placing  bulldinp  contrac- 
tors under  bond,  probably  Sl.mio,  or 
establishing  a  license  fee  for  ci.iUrac- 
tors  as  a  protection  to  themselves  and 
the  public,  were  discussed  at  a  recent 
meeting  of  the  San  Mateo  city  trus- 
tees. Contractors  from  Redwood  City 
and  other  cities  in  the  vicinity  at- 
tended the  meeting. 

With  a  division  of  sentiment  ex- 
isting among  the  contractors  over  the 
preference  of  being  placed  under  bond 
or  paying  a  license  fee,  definite  de- 
cision was  withheld.  City  Attorney 
Albert  Mansrteld.  with  City  Building 
Inspector  Con  Drathman,  however,  will 
determine  this  matter  in  the  drafting 
of  a  new  building  ordinance. 

While  E.  W.  Magruder,  speaking  be- 
fore the  board,  expressed  the  belief 
that  a  yearly  license  fee  would  be 
preferable,  figuring  that  a  bond  would 
"keep  out  the  little  fellow,"  Gus  Wal- 
ler, another  contractor,  declared  for 
the  bond,  asserting  that  "fly  by  night- 
ers"  coming  into  the  city  from  the  out- 
side to  do  "transient"  work,  could 
easily  put  up  $75  or  ?80  but  could  not

ALAMEDA    BUILDERS    FOR    CHANGE 
IN    STATE   LIEN   LAAV 

The  Builders'  Exchange  of  Alameda 
county,  through  its  board  of  directors, 
has  gone  on  record  as  favoring  a  re- 
vision of  the  state  lien  law,  making  it 
conform  to  the  principles  laid  down  by 
the  Advisory  Council  of  the  State 
Builders'  Exchange  which  recently  met 
at  Fresno. 

D.  B.  Farquharson.  of  San  Francisco, 
was  chairman  of  the  committee  that 
studied  the  lien  law  and  recommended 
that  it  be  revised  in  every  particular 
except  as  it  effects  the  rights  of  me- 
chanics in  the  matter  of  wages.

COLUMBIA  STEEL  RECEIVES  LARGE 

ORDER       FOR       COPPER       WIRE 

FROM     OREGON 


Union   Wage   Scale    Report   Issued 


Bulletin  No.  354  relating  to  the 
union  scale  of  wages  and  hours  of 
labor  of  nearly  900.000  union  members 
In  the  United  States  as  of  May  15, 
1923,  and  showing  compari;!0;i  with 
preceding  years,  has  just  been  issued 
by  the  United  States  Dep.x'tnuut  of 
Labor  through  the  Buro.iu  of  Labor 
Statistics.  Advance  figures  of  this  fe- 
port  were  published  in  the  Monthly 
Labor  Review  of  September  and  De- 
cember, 1923,  and  January,  1924.  The 
complete  bulletin  embraces  returns 
from  66  leading  industrial  cities,  and 
12  groups  of  industries  covering  S9 
trades    or   occupations. 

In  the  average  tor  all  trades  taken 
collectively  the  hourly  wage  rate  on 
May  15,  1923,  was  higher  in  the  United 
States  than  in  any  preceding  year, 
being  9  per  cent  higher  than  on  May 
15,  1922;  84  per  cent  higher  than  in 
1917;  111  per  cent  higher  than  in  1913; 
123  per  cent  higher  than  in  1910;  and 
135    per  cent  higher   than   In    1907. 

In  1923  the  regular  hours  of  labor 
were  at  the  same  level  as  in  1922;  4 
per  cent  lower  than  in  1917;  6  per 
cent  lower  than  in  1913;  7  per  cent 
lower  than  in  1910;  and  8  per  cent 
lower   than    in    1907. 

Sixty-eight  per  cent  of  all  the  union 
members  covered  had  a  regular  work- 
ing week  of  44  hours  or  less  and  18 
per  cent  had  a  4S-hour  week;  94  per 
cent  of  the  bakers  had  a  48-hour  week 
or  less;  97  per  cent  of  the  building 
trades'  members  had  a  week  of  44 
hours  or  less  as  had  also  practically 
all  of  the  granite  and  stone  workers. 
Among  the  laundry  workers  95  per 
cent  had  a  48-hour  week.  Of  the 
metal  trade   members   56   per  cent  had 

ENGINEER   WINS    SUIT 


William  Shearer,  surveyor  of  Sutter 
County,  won  a  legal  battle  over  H.  C. 
Flannery,  auditor  of  the  same  county, 
when  the  third  district  court  of  ap- 
peal handed  down  a  decision  reversing 
a  judgment  of  the  Sutter  County  Su- 
perior Court  and  directing  that  judg- 
ment be  entered  in  tavor  of  Shearer. 

The  court  proceedings  were  in  the 
nature  of  a  petition  for  a  writ  of  man- 
date to  compel  Flannery  to  issue  a 
warrant  for  $84.69  in  favor  of  Shearer 
for  services  rendered  the  county  as 
surveyor.  The  trial  court  denied  the 
petition  and  Shearer  appealed  to  the 
appellate  court.  A  dispute  over  the 
legality  of  the  claim  was  the  basis  of 
the  suit. 


LUMBER      ORDERS      INCREASE 


What  is  said  to  be  the  largest  order 
for  stranded  copper  wire  ever  placed 
on  the  Pacific  Coast  was  that  just  re- 
ceived by  the  Columbia  Steel  Corpora- 
tion from  the  California-Oregon 
Power  Company  of  Medford,   Oregon. 

The  order  is  for  510  tons  of  wire  and 
was  received  in  competition  with  bid- 
ders from  the  largest  manufacturers  in 
the  country. 


With  353  of  the  larger  commercial 
sawmills  of  the  country  making  com- 
parable weekly  reports  for  the  week 
ended  June  21,  says  the  National  Lum- 
ber Manufacturers'  Association,  new 
business  showed  a  slight  increase 
while  production  and  shipments  de- 
creased compared  with  similar  reports 
of  377  mills  for  the  preceding  week.  As 
compared  with  the  corresponding  week 
in  1923,  there  was  a  considerable  in- 
crease in  new  business  and  a  noticeable 
decrease  in  production  and  shipments. 
The  report  of  the  Northern  Pine  Man- 
ufacturers' Association,  Minneapolis, 
was  not  received  in  time  to  be  in- 
cluded. 


a  48-hour  week  and  35  per  cent  had 
a  week  of  44  hours  or  less.  In  the 
book  and  job  printing  trades  89  per 
cent  had  a  working  week  of  44  hours 
or  less,  and  10  per  cent  had  a  48- 
hour  week.  In  the  newspaper  trade 
53  per  cent  were  on  the  48-hour  week. 
Twenty-nine  per  cent  had  a  working 
week  of  over  44  and  under  48  hours, 
and  18  per  cent  had  a  working  week 
of    44   hours   or   less. 

The  average  rates  of  wages  per  hour 
as  of  May  15,  1923,  for  the  country 
as  a  whole  for  a  few  typical  occu- 
pations were:  bakers  92.1  cents;  brick- 
layers $1,321;  building  laborers  72.8 
cents;  carpenters  $1,084;  plasterers 
$1,306;  plumbers  $1,151;  longshoremen 
72.2  cents;  blacksmiths  99.7  cents; 
machinists  82.3  cents;  newspaper  com- 
positors on  day  work  $1,013;  and  type- 
setting machine  operators  on  day 
work    $1,031. 

The  average  rate  per  hour  for  all 
building  trades  covered  was  $1,068, 
for  the  metal  trades  83.9  cents,  and 
for  the  newspaper  trades  $1,047.  For 
all  trades  covered  in  the  several  in- 
dustries the  average  rate  per  hour  was 
9  5.2  cents.  As  compared  with  May  15, 
1913.  the  rate  of  wages  per  hour  on 
May  15,  1923,  showed  an  increase  of 
176  per  cent  for  bakers,  91  per  cent 
tor  bricklayers;  118  per  cent  for  build- 
ing laborers,  104  per  cent  for  carpen- 
ters; 93  per  cent  for  plasterers;  86 
per  cent  for  plumbers;  109  per  cent 
for  longshoremen;  103  per  cent  for 
blacksmiths;  101  per  cent  for  machin- 
ists; 7S  per  cent  for  newspaper  com- 
positors on  day  work,  and  ?3  per  cent 
for  typesetting  machine  operators  on 
day    work. 

STEEL  WORKERS'  UNION   SUES  FOR 
$10,000,000 

According  to  newspaper  advices  from 
New  York,  under  date  of  July  9,  a 
counter  suit  for  $10,000,000  has  been 
brought  by  the  Structural  Steel  Work- 
ers' union,  from  which  members  of  the 
Iron  league,  an  organization  of  em- 
ployers have  asked  $5,000,000  damages 
on  the  ground  that  a  strike  called  last 
May  in  New  York  was  illegal. 

Counsel  for  the  contractors  contend- 
ed that  the  union  had  sought  repeated- 
ly to  force  the  closed  shop  upon  the 
league,  and  after  calling  the  strike  in 
May  had  resorted  to  Intimidation  and 
coercion  to  keep  non-union  men  from 
working. 

Samuel  Untermyer,  counsel  for  the 
union,  denied  that  the  open  shop  was 
involved.  He  said  the  contractors  had 
been  forced  by  the  large  steel  pro- 
ducers to  refuse  to  employ  union  work- 
men. He  charged  the  league  with  vio- 
lating  the   Sherman   anti-trust   law. 

POWER     PROJECT     PLANNED

"Black   Base"   Construction    in  Mercer   County'   New   Jersey 


HY    H.    F.    HARRIS,    MERfER   COINTY  EXGI>"EER 


During  the  season  of  1922  the  Engi- 
neering Department  of  Mercer  County, 
New  Jersey,  was  called  upon  to  con- 
struct a  short  length  of  highway  con- 
necting two  important  improved  roads. 
Upon  this  highway  for  almost  the  en- 
tire length  there  was  erected  on  both 
sides  a  large  industrial  plant,  the  op- 
erators of  which  were  called  upon 
daily  to  ship  by  rail  large  tonnages  of 
their  product.  It  was  required  that  this 
product  should  be  hauled  by  horse- 
drawn  trucks  a  distance  of  one-half 
mile    to   the   nearest   freight   station. 

In  considering  the  design  for  the 
proposed  pavement,  the  engineers  of 
the  County  felt  that  a  substantial 
foundation  was  one  of  the  first  re- 
quisites to  a  proper  and  suitable  pave- 
ment. 

The  existing  road  had  been  spasmod- 
ically covered  with  a  scant  coating 
of  macadam  which  was  so  badly  rutted 
and  pot-holed  that  it  was  with  much 
difficulty  that  the  street  could  be 
"navigated"  at  all. 

Frankly,  the  engineers  "were  in  a 
quandry  as  to  what  would  be  the 
proper  type  of  pavement  to  select  and 
the  best  method  of  constructing  a 
substantial  and  durable  foundation  for 
comparatively  heavy  traffic  without 
seriously  crippling  the  daily  output  of 
the  plant,  as  it  was  impossible  in  any 
way  to  detour  the  traffic  from  the 
plant  by  any  other  outlet  than  the  one 
which  entered  upon  the  street,  and  it 
was  ont  of  the  quqestion  to  shut  off 
traffic  for  a  period  of  from  two  to 
three  weeks,  should  it  be  desired  to 
construct  the  usual  six  inch  Portland 
Cement  concrete  foundation.  More- 
over, the  scanty  depth  of  the  existing 
stone,  as  well  as  its  elevation  above 
curb  grade,  precluded  its  use  as  a  first 
class   foundation. 

They  finally  conceived  the  idea  of 
constructing,  a  so-called  "black  base" 
pavement,  on  a  sub-foundation  of 
stone,  which  stone  was  taken  from  the 
excavated  material  and  topping  the 
"black  base"  with  the  regular  standard 
sheet  asphalt  pavement  1%  inches 
thick. 

The  general  method  followed  in  con- 
structing this  foundation  was  to  re- 
move the  existing  stone  with  forks  and 
cast  it  into  piles,  then  excavate  to  3 
inches  below  the  grade  fixed  for  the 
bottom  of  the  "black  base,"  replace  the 
stone,  which  was  then  rolled  and 
bound  up  in  a  similar  manner  to  the 
ordinary  macadam  road,  with  the  ex- 
ception that  no  unusual  effort  was 
made  to  obtain  particularly  clean  stone. 
There  were  two  reasons  for  using  this 
stone  Fub-base;  first,  it  would  have 
been  impossible  to  have  rolled  the 
heavy  sandy  soil  without  the  addition 
of  some  such  material;  second,  it  was 
felt  that  it  would  be  advisable  to  pro- 
vide ample  depth  of  foundation  for 
type  of  road  so  far  untried  in  Mer- 
cer County. 

After  this  had  been  properly  shaped, 
sprinkled,  rolled  and  compacted,  the 
hot  mixed  "black  base"  foundation  was 
applied  in  a  manner  similar  to  the  or- 
dinary asphalt  binder  course,  except 
that  it  was  constructed  in  two  layers, 
each  3  inches  thick  after  it  had  been 
thoroughly  rolled,  after  which  opera- 
tion a  IVa  inch  asphalt  pavement  was 
applied  for  the  finish;  this  construc- 
tion making  a  pavement  having  a  total 
thickness  of  10  Vi  inches.  The  "black 
base"  was  constructed  in  two  layers  in 
order  to  obtain  the  greatest  amount  of 
compression. 

The  maximum  length  of  time  that 
traffic  was  suspended  from  the  indus- 
trial    plant     after     following     out     this 


scheme  of  operation,  was  but  four  (4) 
hours,  showing  an  economic  saving  in 
time  of  very  considerable  proportions, 
both  to  the  plant  owners  and  the  gen- 
eral public. 

The  cost  analysis  per  square  yard  on 
the  basis  of  the  low  bid  for  this  work 
follows: 

Excavation     $0.49 

3  inch   Stone   sub-foundation..   0.18.. 

6   inch   Black   Base 2.49 

IVi  inch  Sheet  Asphalt  Surface  0.89 

Total    $4.05 

The  cost  was  about  11%  below  the 
Engineer's  estimate,  and  it  is  believed 
that  with  a  larger  volume  of  work  and 
with  contractors  getting  more  familiar 
with  the  type  of  construction  that  the 
cost  can  be  materially  reduced.  For  the 
contractor  it  eliminates  entirely  the 
necessity  of  bringing  in  a  concreting 
outfit. 

The  following  typical  analysis  of  the 
"black   base"  might  be  of  interest:

Mineral    Matter    05% 

Organic   Matter   Insoluble...      .05% 
Bitumen        99.9% 

Total     100% 

The  laboratory  and  plant  inspection 
for  this  work  was  under  the  super- 
vision of  Dow  &  Smith,  and  the  work 
was  constructed  by  James  J.  Barrett, 
superintended  by  M.  P.  Quinn,  and  the 
engineering  for  the  County  was  in 
charge   of   J.    B.    Walker. 

While  the  total  length  constructed  is 
comparatively  short,  it  is  believed  that 
it  is  of  sufficient  area  to  demonstrate 
the  possibilities  of  this  type  of  con- 
struction, the  greatest  saving  being  in 
the  amount  of  time  which  was  saved 
during  the  operation. 

The  possibilities  for  time  saving 
were  well  demonstrated  the  following 
year,  when  it  was  planned  to  recon- 
struct entirely  a  section  of  stone  road 
approximately  two  mile  in  length.  This 
Job  was  planned  and  undertaken  as  a 
result  of  the  previous  year's  experience. 

In  order  to  determine  the  exact 
width  and  depth  of  the  old  stone,  the 
road  was  stationed  off  in  100  foot  sec- 
tions. Three  measurements  were  made 
at  each  section;  one  at  the  crown  and 
one  at  each  oE  the  edges.  At  all  of 
these  points  the  depth  of  stone  was  re- 
corded, and  also  the  width  of  the 
original   stone   road. 

As  the  old  road  had  been  treated  four 
or  five  years  in  succession  with  hot 
asphaltic  surface  oil,  a  very  heavy  mat 
had  been  built  up  on  the  road.  It  was 
found  that  this  mat  had  accumulated  to 
a  depth  of  considerably  over  an  inch. 
In  many  places  it  even  approached  a 
depth  of  3  inches.  With  a  mat  in  this 
condition,  it  was  impossible  to  continue 
the  oil  treatment,  and  traffic  was  in- 
creasing to  such  an  extent  that  it  was 
felt    that   a   stone   road   was    no    longer 


adequate  to  meet  the  trafBc  demands 
since  the  road  in  question  formed  a 
through  truck  route  between  Nev» 
York  and  Philadelphia  and  connected 
directly  with  the  free  bridge  over  the 
Delaware  River. 

Measurements  taken  at  the  100  foot 
stations  previous  to  the  actual  design 
of  the  road,  showed  that  the  average 
width  of  the  stone  throughout  the  en- 
tire distance  was  16.7  feet,  the  mini- 
mum being  15.1  feet  and  the  maximum 
18.9  feet.  The  depth  of  stone  averaged 
8%  inches,  the  minimum  being  5'/4 
inches  and  the  maximum  13  inches,  too 
large  an   investment   to   disregard. 

After  studying  this  situation  careful- 
ly, it  was  decided  to  make  use  of  this 
depth  of  stone  as  a  foundation,  widen 
it  out  where  required,  and  build  up  ad- 
ditional thickness  for  foundation  with 
"black  base"  construction,  as  in  this 
case  curbs  or  sidewalks  had  not  been 
constructed,  nor  had  grades  for  them 
been  established.  This  idea  had  num- 
erous advantages  over  other  plans 
studied: 

1.  It  would  enable  the  authorities  to 
construct  a  modern  pavement  in  a 
minimum  length  of  time. 

2.  It  would  give  a  thicker  and 
heavier   pavement. 

3.  Considering  width  and  depth  and 
the  economy  in. time,  it  could  be  con- 
structed at  much  less  cost. 

4.  It  would  also  conserve  the  In- 
vestment in  the  original  pavement  to 
the  uttermost,  and  there  would  be  a 
minimum  of  inconvenience  to  abutting 
property   owners. 

5.  Openings  for  extension  of  sewers, 
water  and  gas  mains  could  be  more 
quickly  made  and  repaired. 

The  final  plans  called  for  construct- 
ing an  asphalt  surface  20  feet  wide 
with  3  foot  penetration  shoulders  on 
either  side.  The  time  allotted  in  the 
contract  for  completing  the  work  was 
121  days,  Sundays  and  holidays  Includ- 
ed. The  time  in  which  the  work  was 
actually  constructed  was  71  days, 
making  a  difference  of  50  days,  for 
which  the  Contractor  earned  a  bonus 
of  .$500.  Two  miles  of  road  were  there- 
fore entirely  rebult  in  71  days  elapsed 
time.  In  the  work  also  was  included 
about  $7000  worth  of  drainage  pipes 
and    other   structures. 

For  constructing     the  sheet     asphalt 
pavement  20  feet  wide  on  a  square  yard 
basis   the   costs   were   as    follows: 
Excavation  (for  widening  founda- 
tion)      $0,141 

Widening  macadam  foundation 
with  stone  including  the 
scarifying  and  removal  of  old 

mat    0.756 

Black  Base,  304  lbs.  per  sq.  yd...  1.355 
Sheet   asphalt  surface,   li^    inches 

deep    1.49 

Total   cost    $3,747 

The  penetration  macadam  shoulders 
cost  per  square  yard  as  follows: 

Excavation    $0,147 

Foundation,    8    inch   Water-Bound 

Macadam     0.755 

Penetration    macadam    surface,    3 

inches  deep 1.35 

Total  cost $2,252 

It  will  be  noted  that  the  cost  of  the 
penetration  macadam  surface  3  inches 
deep,  was  almost  exactly  the  same  as 
for  laying  the  "black  base,"  that  is, 
$1.35,  the  "black  base"  having  aver- 
aged 3  inches  in  depth.  In  many 
places,  however,  the  "black  base'"  had 
a  maximum  of  over  4  inches,  due  to 
making  up  inequalities  in  the  old 
stone  base.

BUILDING     AND     ENGINEERING     NEWS 


The  Engineer's  preliminary  estimate 
of  cost  for  this  work  was  $104,740. 
After  advertising  for  bids  the  foUow- 
InK  three  lump  sum  proposals  were  re- 
ceived: 

Bidder   A $102,309.70 

■•      B   104.641.50 

••      C     132,171.60 

Unit  prices  were  received  for  all 
Items  of  construction.  The  award  price 
for  black  base  mix  per  ton  was  $8.90  In 
place.  Two  and  one-half  Inch  (2H  In.) 
stone  (trap  rock)  in  place.  $4.00  per 
ton;  stone  screenings  in  place.  $3.25 
per  ton;  excavation  without  classifica- 
tion, $1.70  per  cubic  yard.  The  analyz- 
ed cost  fleures  previously  given  for  all 
Items  on  a  per  square  yard  basis  were 
equated  from  the  per  ton  figures  named 
in   the  bid. 

In  widening  the  roadway  proper,  the 
work  of  constructing  the  foundation 
for  the  penetration  shoulders  was  in- 
cluded and  performed  as  one  opera- 
tion. In  this  way  it  was  possible 
thoroughly  to  roll  and  secure  a  well 
consolidated  base,  and  eliminate  a  line 
of  weakness  which  is  often  found  at 
the  point  where  the  pavement  joins  the 
newly  constructed  shoulders.  If  the 
penetration  shoulder  is  built  after  the 
laying  of  the  surface  pavement,  as  Is 
often  the  case,  it  is  very  difilcult  to 
roll  and  consolidate  stone  In  a  trench 
only  3  feet  wide  or  to  bond  and  tie  it 
Into  the  old  road. 

This  work  was  also  constructed  by 
James  J.  Barrett,  and  the  asphalt  work 
both  at  the  plant  and  at  the  laboratory 
was  inspected  by  Stillman  &  Van  Siclen. 
The  engineering  was  in  charge  of  Mr. 
J.  B.  Walker. 

It  might  be  of  interest  to  point  out 
that  immediately  adjoining  the  first 
described  work  there  Is  a  stretch  of 
about  one  mile  of  20-foot-wIde  sheet 
asphalt  pavement  of  standard  construc- 
tion, built  on  a  Portland  Cement  con- 
crete foundation.  This  work  was  laid 
two  years  earlier  and  is  also  in  very 
excellent  condition.  The  only  defects 
perceptible  now  are  a  series  of  trans- 
verse cracks  at  regular  or  fairly  reg- 
ular Intervals,  undoubtedly  due  to 
cracks  in  the  base.  These  became  quite 
apparent  between  the  second  and  third 
year  In  the  life  of  the  pavement  and 
observation  and  comparison  of  the  be- 
havior of  these  two  pavements  Im- 
mediately adjacent  to  one  another  is 
going  to  be  an  Interesting  field  for 
study. 

Up  to  Xhe  present  time  the  "black 
base"  work  has  shown  no  cracks  what- 
ever, and  is  to  all  intents  and  pur- 
poses in  every  respect  eqaal  to  the 
standard  practice  in  constructing  sheet 
asphalt  with  the  rigid  base.

JUNE  BUILDING  SUMMARY 


Private  building  operations  in  San 
Francisco  for  the  month  of  June,  1923, 
total  $3,899,374,  according  to  Chief  In- 
spector of  Buildings  John  P.  Horgan, 
of  the  Department  of  Public  Works. 
During  the  month  858  permits  were 
granted.  The  figures  of  the  past  month 
show  a  loss  as  compared  with  the 
month  of  May  of  this  year  and  the 
month  of  June,  1923.  During  May  of 
this  year  932  permits  were  granted, 
representing  Improvements  costing  $5,- 
478,111.  During  June,  1923,  a  total  of 
868  permits  was  issued  for  improve- 
ments valued  at  $4,213,346.  Following

The  March  Issue  of  the  "Journal  of 
the  American-Belgian  Chamber  of 
Commerce,"  published  in  Belgium,  con- 
tains an  article  by  L,.  P.  E.  Giftory.  dis- 
cusses the  American  market  for  the 
sale   of   Belgian   cement. 

The  article  as  published  follows: 

The  enormous  amount  of  artificial 
P'ortland  cement  which  has  recently 
been  bought  and  contracted  for  In 
Belgium  by  American  Importers,  for 
future  delivery,  has  suggested  the 
giving  of  some  timely  advice  both  to 
buyers  and  sellers  in  order  to  avoid 
possible  shortcomings  and  eventual 
financial   losses. 

It  is  evident  that  the  fall  in  the  ex- 
change value  of  the  Belgian  franc  has 
had  a  gre.at  deal  to  do  with  these  large 
purchases,  but  it  must  be  admitted 
that,  according  to  reliable  statistics, 
there  is  a  temporary  deficiency  In  U. 
S.  production  as  compared  with  the 
ever  Increasing  demand.  In  fact  build- 
ing permits  have  increased  by  some 
$110,000,000  as  against  those  of  a  year 
ago.  To  this  must  be  added  the  drain 
made  on  existing  stocks  by  the  great 
amount  of  cement  shipped  to  Japan  by 
Pacific  coast  producers. 

Tremendous  efforts  are  being  made, 
however,  to  Increase  the.  output  of  the 
existing  mills  and  new  ones  are  being 
erected  all  over  the  United  States, 
some  of  them  having  started  recently 
with  a  4,000  barrel  daily  production. 
During  1923  the  United  States  pro- 
duced about  137,500,000  barrels  of  ce- 
ment or  some  22,500,000  barrels  over 
the  1922  production.  Conservative  esti- 
mates seem  to  indicate  that  a  total  of 
170,000,000  barrels  will  be  turned  out 
this  ye.ar,  which  will  be  far  superior  to 
the  combined  production  of  the  rest  of 
the  world. 

This  record  breaking  production  will 
coincide  with  the  Portland  Cement 
Centennial  as  it  is  just  100  years  ago — 
according  to  records  on  file  In  the 
British  patent  office — that  Joseph  As- 
pdln,  a  bricklayer  of  Leeds,  was 
awarded  a  patent  for  a  material  de- 
scribed   as    follows: 

"He  added  clay  to  finely  ground 
limestone,  calcined  the  mixture  and 
ground  the  product  which  he  called 
Portland    cement." 

The  only  connection  between  Port- 
land cement  and  the  Isle  of  Portland 
on  the  coast  of  Dorsetshire,  England,  is 
that  the  cement  when  set  resembles 
Portland  Oolitic  limestone  In  color. 
This  stone  is  widely  famed  for  build- 
ing purposes  and  v/as  extensively  used 
in  supplying  material  for  St.  Paul's 
Cathedral. 

While  pozzuolanic  cement  was  well 
known  to  builders  In  the  earliest  his- 
toric times,  succeeded  by  hydraulic 
limes  and  Roman  cement  first  used 
about  1796,  it  is  only  half  a  century 
ago  that  real  progress  was  made  in 
the  manufacture  of  high  grade  Port- 
land cement. 

Care  should  be  taken  not  to  con- 
found the  so  called  natural  Portland 
cement  with  artificial  Portland  cement, 
as  the  process  of  making  both  is  en- 
tirely different,  the  former  being 
always  uneven  In  quality  on  account 
of  irregular  composition  of  the  lime- 
stone and  clay  admixtures  which  form 
its  basis.  This  makes  it  only  suitable 
for  ordinary  building  purposes,  while 
the  latter  should  be  relied  upon  ex- 
soundness  and  resistance  to  high  pres- 
sure is  demanded,  its  manufacture  per- 
clusively    for    works    where    endurance. 


nutting      proper   dosage      and      careful 
compounding. 

Misleading  labels  are  often  used  by 
unscrupulous  dealers  advirtising  for 
instance  "Best  Portland  Cement,,  or 
"Finest  Quality  Portland  Cement"  but 
comparative  tensile  strengths  taken  at 
random  amongst  several  tests  will 
show  the  tremendous  difference  in  in- 
trinsic value  of  both  qualities. 
Averages  in  tensile  strength  per

Natural  Neat  Cement — 7  Days  Test, 
431  lbs.;  28  Days  Test,   510  lbs.

Most  countries  have  adopted  a 
standard  specification  by  which  ex- 
treme allowances  in  objectionable  In- 
gredients are  set  forth  and  Indicating 
the  caracterlstlcs  of  chemical  tests 
with  minimum  crushing  and  tensile 
strengths.  While  the  Government  has 
at  Mechlen  an  official  laboratory  for 
testing  materials,  its  results  are 
seldom  adhered  to  outside  of  the 
country  so  that  Belgian  Cement  manu- 
facturers have  always  used  the  British 
Standard  specifications  as  a  leader  for 
the  exportation  of  their  products,  same 
Ijeing  generally  admitted  the  world 
over  as  desideratum  of  efficiency. 

These  conditions  have  presided  regu- 
larly over  all  transactions  for  years  so 
that  they  might  unconsciously  bring 
about  some  important  misgivings  re- 
sulting in  financial  losses. 

In  these  respects  it  would  be  well  for 
Belgian  producers  to  realize  the  great 
difference  existing  between  British  and 
American  specifications  when  selling 
for   export    to    the    States. 

Space  would  not  permit  of  an 
elaborate  display  of  requirements  but 
the  following  comparisons  In  specifica- 
tions will  be  sufficient  to  serve  as  a 
timely   warning   for   mutual   protection.

Maximum   residue    when    sifted

It  must  be  distinctly  understood  that 
cement  not  answering  the  specifica- 
tions of  the  Washington  Bureau  of 
Standards  will  not  be  admitted  in 
United  States  governmental  or  muni- 
cipal works  and  that  all  important 
building  contracts  contain  the  follow- 
ing stereotyped  condition: 

"The  cement  shall  comply  with  the 
specifications  for  Portland  cement,  as 
adopted  and  amended  by  the  American 
Society   for   testing   materials." 

Other  conditions  for  testing  sampling 
and  the  like,  vary  according  to  loca- 
tions but  the  main  requirements  are 
always   adhered   to. 

It  Is  our  greatest  desire  to  foster 
commercial  relations  between  the  two 
Countries  In  so  far  as  it  lies  within 
our  power  and  we  therefore  believe 
that  our  aim  is  the  better  attained 
when  confronting  the  parties  with  the 
actual  conditions  which  must  govern 
honest   niHtual  dealings.

monly  considered  poor  business  years,  ! 
sales  figures  of  the  Detroit  Steel  Pro- 
ducts Company,  Detroit,  Mich.,  which 
has  a  large  plant  in  Emeryville,  for 
May  show  the  greatest  volume  of  steel 
sash  business  in  four  and  a  quarter 
years. 

May  performances  surpassed  that  of 
April,  last  year,  the  largest  month  of 
1923,  by  15  per  cent.  April  records  for 
this  year  were  beaten   15  per  cent. 

Further  comparison  would  indicate 
that  presidential  years  have  been  ban- 
ner years  for  the  above  mentioned 
company  since  1908;  1912  beat  1911  50 
per  cent,  1916  beat  1915  56  per  cent, 
and  1920   beat  1919   10   per  cent. 

The  Emeryville  plant  has  recently 
been  doubled  in  capacity  and  now  has 
a  capacity  of  100,000,000  square  feet  of 
steel  sash  a  year. 


210-MILE    PIPE    LINE 


A  continuous  steel  tube  210  miles 
l(jng  without  a  coupling  or  a  screw- 
thread  connection  will  be  laid  this 
summer  between  the  Texas-Louisiana 
natural  gas  fields  near  Shreveport,  La., 
and  Beaumont,  Texas.  When  complet- 
ed, the  longest  16-inch  diameter  pipe 
line  in  the  world  will  cross  two  rivers, 
innumerable  creeks  and  run  under- 
ground through  four  counties  to  carrj 
the  natural  gas  to  Beaumont.  Oxy- 
acetylene  welding  will  seal  every 
joint,  replacing  the  old  method  of  screw 
couplings,  thus  reducing  the  upkeep  ol 
the  line  to  the  vanishing  point,  and 
conserving  a  great  quantity  of  gas 
from  the  leakage  which  has  always 
been  unavoidable  with  threaded  joints

NOTE: — Sandy  Pratt  is  at  Rio  Nido 
on  the  Russian  River  so  we  picked  out 
one  of  his  best  stories  to  run  while 
away  on  a  vacation — "The  Office  Girls." 

MRS.   BOB  Hair  lives. 

NEAR  SANDl'  Pratt,  President. 

OF  THE  Pratt  Building  Material  Co. 

PRODUCER  OF  Rock  and  Sand. 

AND  BOB  Hair,   her  husband. 

WAS    OLD    fashioned. 

AND   THOUGHT  women. 

SHOULD    STAY    home. 

COOK  HIS  meals. 

AND  NOT  spend   90%. 

OF  THEIR  time. 

PLAYING  BRIDGE  and  poker. 

MRS.  BOB  Hair  wanted. 

TO  BOB  her  hair. 

FRIEND  HUSBAND  was  opposed. 

BUT  LIKE   all   wives. 

SHE  BEGAN   to  argue. 

SHE  SAID  her  headaches. 

WOULD   DISAPPEAR. 

IF   THE   weight. 

OF   HER   hair. 

AND  HER  hair  net. 

COULD  BE  removed. 

FROM  HER  brain   casing. 

SO  BOB   Hair   gave   in. 

BECAUSE  IT  is  the  easy  way. 

FOR   SOME   ladies   will  argue. 

AND  BOB  liked  to  read. 

WHEN  HE   was   home. 

SO  THE  hair  was  bobbed. 

AND  NO   more   complaints. 

ABOUT  HEADACHES  from  friend  wife. 

BUT  THE  liills. 

w         •         « 

FOR  MARCELLS,  trimming,  etc. 

GAVE  POOR  i:nb  Hair  headaches. 

AND   SANDY   predicts. 

THAT  SOON  all  men. 

WILL  WEAR  long  hair.         2.  . 


.\ND  A  lady  with  long  hair. 

•      •     • 
IS  NO  lady  at  all. 

.■S.ND  NOW  changing. 

FROM   THE  sublime. 

•      •      • 
TO   THE   ridiculous. 

SANDY  PRATT,  Producer. 

OF   THE   best  crushed   rock. 

AND  CLEANEST,   sharp   sand. 

IN  THE  world. 

HE.\RD  IRWIN  Engler,  Secretary. 

OF  THE  Sacramento  Chamber  of  Com- 
merce. 

TE;ll  THE  Sacramento  Rotary  Club. 

THAT  STATISTICS  show. 

TH.\T  OUT  of  every   100    women. 

THAT  FAINT. 

55%   FALL  into    the  arms. 

OF    GOODLOOKING    men. 

AND  ONLY  1%  fall. 

INTO   THE  kitchen   sink.

Portland 
Cement  Stucco 

Endures 

No  wonder  it  is  unaSected  by  weather  condi- 
tions—that rain  only  makes  it  harder.  For  Portland 
Cement  Stucco  in  all  essentials  is  Concrete.  And 
you  know  how  well  Concrete  serves  in  founda- 
tions, in  homes,  in  hospitals,  in  mighty  dams,  in 
roads  and  skyscrapers. 

Be  sure,  therefore,  that  you  always  specify  stucco 
by  the  full  name,  Portland  Cement  Stucco,  and  get 
the  enduring  strength  which  that  tenacious  binder, 
Portland  Cement,  assures. 

Architects  will  tell  you  that  Portland  Cement 
Stucco  assures  a  home  of  distinction  and  beauty. 
No  other  exterior  treatment  oSers  such  a  variety  of 
color  and  texture.  It  harmonizes  perfectly  with  any 
landscape  setting. 

And  the  ideal  backing  for  Portland  Cement 
Stucco  is  Concrete  Masonry— Concrete  Block  or 
Tile.  *   *   * 

Watch  for  advertisements  telling  about  the  many  other  uses  of  Portland 
Cement.  And  remember  that  the  Portland  Cement  Association  has  a 
free  personal  service  to  oSer  you.  Whether  you  use  concrete  or  have 
it  used  for  you,  this  service  will  give  you  more  for  your  money.

lO.XftTKl  CTlOJi     JOIR.X.AI,     .. 


In  a  recent  issue,  the  Southwest 
Builder  and  Contractor,  published  in 
Los  .\ngeles,  answers  the  claim  of 
Frank  C.  MacDonald,  president  of  the 
California  State  Building  Trades' 
Council,  that  the  aity  of  Los  Angeles 
i.s  "overbuilt."     The  publication  says; 

"Frank  C.  MacDonald,  president  of 
the  State  Building  Trades  Council,  is 
quoted  in  the  San  Francisco  news- 
papers as  saying  that  'Los  Angeles  has 
.  "overbuilt"  during  the  last  year  or  two, 
and  the  building  slump  was  an  in- 
evitable reaction.'  There  has  not  been 
a  time  in  the  last  twenty  years  when 
Los  Angeles  was  not  'overbuilt'  in  the 
opinion  of  some  people.  Even  when 
there  was  the  greatest  demand  for 
new  buildings,  predictions  that  the  city 
was  gbing  too  fast  and  assertions  that 
there  wasn't  any  need  tor  all  the 
buildings  being  erected,  were  very 
common.  A  lot  of  people  who  took 
in  this  sort  of  talk  let  wonderful  op- 
portunities slip  by  them,  while  the 
optimists  counted  their  profits  arising 
from  the  steady  expansion  and  develop- 
ment  of   the   city. 

"It  is  true  t'liat  tor  a  period  follow- 
ing the  war  buildings  of  all  kinds  were 
at  a  premium  as  a  result  of  the  short- 
age caused  by  slowing  down  of  build- 
ing during  the  war.     Due  to  extraordi- 


nary building  activity  that  shortage 
has  been  relieved  and  the  reaction  has 
brought  building  back  to  normal.  But 
the  city  Is  not  'overbuilt.'  There  are 
more  houses  to  let  than  at  any  period 
since  the  war,  but  me  percentage  of 
vacancies  is  far  below  what  is  con- 
sidered a  normal  in  the  average  pros- 
perous and  growing  city.  It  Is  neces- 
sary that  building  should  keep  ahead 
of  the  actual  demand,  otherwise  the 
public  would  be  at  the  mercy  of  land- 
lords and  expansion  of  the  city  would 
be  hampered.  If  building  in  Los  An- 
geles should  suddenly  cease,  houses 
would  be  at  a  premium  within  two 
months.  That  is  the  extent  to  which 
the  city  is  'overbuilt.'  " 


ZIXC   ROOFS    UNDER  TEST 


Tests  of  corrugated  zinc  roofing  are 
now  under  way  at  the  Bureau  of 
Standards  of  the  Department  of  Com- 
merce for  the  purpose  of  determining 
the  loads  that  can  safely  be  carried  by 
this  material.  Unlike  most  roofing  ma- 
terials zinc  fails  not  by  breaking  but 
l>y  bending  slowly  under  load,  the 
material  taking  a  permanent  set.  It  is 
therefore  not  considered  desirable 
where  heavy  loads  must  be  born  con- 
tinuously, unless  it  is  well  supported. 
But  where  the  normal  load  is  light,  as 
it  is  apt  to  be  in  the  tropics,  zinc  roof- 
ing may  prove  more  durable  than  gal- 
vanized steel,  as  the  latter  fails  rapidly 
from  corrosion  in  such  climates.  The 
test  made  on  the  roofing  consists  in 
loading  the  corrugated  sheet  with  sand, 
the  sheet  being  supported  on  a  frame- 
work representing  the  roof  purlins. 
The  load  is  left  in  place  for  a  month  or 
more  and  the  deflection  is  measured 
each   day.

AWARDS 


Contracts  awarded  on  large  engi- 
neering construction  projects,  as  pub- 
lished in  the  tour  issues  of  Engineer- 
ing News-Record  (New  York),  during 
the  month  of  June,  reached  $153,140,- 
000  as  against  $257,665,000  in  the  five 
issues  of  May,  1924.  Awards  published 
in  the  four  issues  of  June,  1923, 
amounted  to  $188,786,000. 

The  average  weekly  value  of  June 
lettings  was  $38,785,000  as  compared 
with   $51,533,000    for  May. 

Minimum  costs  observed  in  the  Con- 
struction News  section  of  Engineering 
News-Record  on  each  class  of  con- 
struction are  as  follows:  AVaterworks 
and  excavations,  $15,000:  other  public 
works,  $25,000;  industrial  construction, 
$40,000,  and  commercial  buildings, 
$150,000. 

The  money  value  of  contracts 
awarded  during  June  was  smaller  than 
that  for  the  month  preceding  in  all 
sections  of  the  United  States  except 
New  England,  which  showed  a  gain  of 
about  a  million  dollars.  The  Middle 
-Atlantic  states  fell  oft  nearly  $27,000,- 
000  despite  the  fact  that  large  awards 
in  New  York  City  alone  amounted  to 
$12,603,871  at  the  minimum  costs  just 
mentioned.  New  York  awards  during 
May  of  the  current  year  totaled  $16,- 
204,916. 

Despite  the  general  falling  off  in 
construction  there  were  gains  during 
June  in  lettings  for  sewers,  excava- 
tions, drainage  and  irrigation  projects 
and  federal  government  work. 

Although  the  physical  volume  of 
June  construction  was  under  that  of 
the  corresponding  month  in  1922  and 
1923,  it  was  also  heavier  than  for 
the  same  period  in  the  three  preceding 
years. 


SOITH    .\>1RR.    ENGINEERS    L.AVD 
C.\LlFORXI.A    HIGHWA%S 


Highway  building  in  California  is 
years  ahead  of  France  and  England 
and  likewise  is  forging  ahead  of  many 
eastern  states  in  the  opinion  of  Sr. 
Fermin  Leon  and  Sr.  Hector  Vigil, 
highway  engineers  of  Chile,  who  are  in 
("alifomia  inspecting  state  highways 
as  the  guest  of  Chairman  Harvey  M, 
Toy  of  the  California  Highway  Com- 
mission and  the  state  highway  depart- 
ment. 

The  trip  to  the  West  of  the  two 
South  American  road  builders  followed 
a  tour  through  a  number  of  eastern 
states  where  they  were  members  of  a 
large  party  of  engineers  from  the 
southern  republics  who  came  to  the 
United  States  as  the  guests  of  the 
Highway  Education  Board.  Previously, 
the  two  visitors  had  studied  road  con- 
struction in  several  European  coun- 
tries. 

Following  the  conclusion  of  the  east- 
ern tour,  the  two  Chilian  engineers 
came  to  California,  underspecial  in- 
structions from  their  government,  to 
view  the  highways  of  this  state  before 
returning  to  Valpariso. 

They  arrived  in  San  Francisco  July 
9  where  they  were  welcomed  by  Chair- 
man Toy  who  gave  a  luncheon  in  their 
honor  attended  by  Walter  Frickstadt. 
regional  official  of  the  United  States 
Bureau  of  Public  Roads.  A.  E.  Loder, 
engineer  for  the  California  State  Auto- 
mobile Association,  Col.  J.  H.  Skeggs, 
division  engineer  for  the  California 
Highway  Commission  in  San  Francisco, 
and  Fred  J.  Grumm.  assistant  highway 
engineer  and  special  representative  of 
State  Highway  Engineer  R.  M.  Morton. 

Mr.  Grumm  will  assist  Col.  Skeggs 
and  Chairman  Toy  in  escorting  the 
visitors  over  the  state  highway  in  the 
vicinity  of  San  Francisco  and  will  ac- 
company them  on  a  visit  to  Los  An- 
geles and  vicinity  later. 

Motoring  over  the  Peninsula  High- 
way which  has  been  recently  widened 
to  forty  feet,  the  visitors  expressed 
surprise  and  admiration  over  the  heavy 
type  of  construction  adopted  by  the 
California  Commission.  Roads  of  such 
width  are  uncommon,  even  in  the  states 
with  larje  populations,  they  declared, 
adding  that  California  highways  are 
far  ahead  of  present  road  construction 
in  France  and  England,  two  of  the 
countries   visited  during   their   tour. 

"It  is  a  distinct  compliment  to  Cali- 
fornia to  have  these  distinguished  road 
builders  visit  this  state,"  said  Chair- 
man Toy,  commenting  upon  the  visit  of 
the  Chilian  engineers,  "and  the  Cali- 
fornia Highway  Department  is  pleased 
to  have  the  opportunity  to  show  them 
our  roads  and  to  furnish  them  with  all 
available  information  concerning  our 
highway  system. 

"We  are  pround  of  the  newer  and 
higher  standards  of  construction 
adopted  by  the  present  highway  com- 
mission and  state  highway  engineer 
and  it  is  our  ambition  to  lead  the  na- 
tion in  road  building  if  the  people  will 
furnish  us  with  funds  to  keep  the 
work  going." 


Curtailment  of  elevator  service  in 
the  buildings  of  Los  Angelas  as  a  part 
of  the  power  conservation  program  of 
Southern  California  is  predicted  by  H. 
G,  Butler,  power  superi-itemlent  for  the 
State  Railroad  Commission.  The  sec- 
ond floor  stop  would  lie  eliminated  and, 
in  the  larger  buildings  a  part  of  the 
cars  put  out  of  ser.'ice,  Butler  an- 
nounced. 


HIGH      SPETED     .*rTO     ROADS     PRE- 
DICTED BY   HIGHWAY   OFFIGIAJjS 


High  speed  motorways,  fenced  or 
walled  on  cither  side  except  at  inter- 
vals of  perhaps  five  miles  or  more,  so 
located  as  to  eliminate  intersections 
and  crossings  at  grades,  sate  for  con- 
tinuous speeds  of  thirty-five  or  forty 
miles  an  hour,  perhaps  more,  and 
flanked  by  narrower  and  slower  speed 
roads  for  local  traffic,  will  form  the 
future  traflic  connecting  links  be- 
tween the  larger  cities. 

Such  is  the  forecast  made  by  A.  E. 
Loder,  manager  of  the  good  roads  bu- 
reau of  the  California  State  Automo- 
bile Association,  in  a  recent  talk  be- 
fore the  annual  convention  of  the 
American  Society  of  civil  Engineers. 

While  he  admitted  that  such  an  ar- 
rangement of  highways  would  be  nec- 
essary at  present  in  only  a  few  parts 
of  the  country,  Loder  said  that  he  be- 
lieved that  the  time  would  come  when 
such  a  plan  will  be  in  use.  and  that 
within  the  next  decade  highways  be- 
tween the  larger  centers  of  population 
will  probably  be  laid  out  with  a  view 
to   these   considerations. 

Looking  into  the  future,  the  state 
automobile  association's  good  roads 
manager  sees  the  stream  of  traffic 
flowing  between  the  larger  cities  at  a 
continuous  speed  that  is  faster  than 
the  present  legal  limit  and  operating 
under  such  conditions  that  vehicles  can 
follow  each  other  more  closely  than 
would  be  safe  on  the  present  high- 
ways with  their  frequent  intersections 
and  interruptions  of  the  stream  of 
traffic. 

These  future  express  highways, 
Loder  told  the  engineers  society,  will 
probably  consist  of  one  or  more  high 
speed  motorways.  Entrances  into 
these  motorways  will  be  limited  to 
every  five  or  ten  miles  where  grade 
separations  and  wide  turnouts  and  in- 
lets will  permit  traffic  to  leave  or  enter 
the  motorway  without  interfering  with 
rapidly  moving  traffic.  Grade  separa- 
tions will  be  provided  wherever  trans- 
roads  must  cross  and  the  necessity  for 
left  hand  turns  will  be  eliminated. 

The  high  speed  motorway  would  be 
located  upon  land  owned  in  fee  by  the 
state  and  safeguarded  under  future 
legislation  so  that  it  may  perform  its 
function  of  serving  the  greatest  pos- 
sible number  of  people  in  the  most 
efficient  manner.  On  both  side,  the 
high  speed  roadway  would  be  flanked 
with  narrower  but  continuous  local 
roads  to  which  the  abbuting  property 
will  have  free  and  unhindered  access 
as  at  present. 

With  such  a  layout  local  traffic 
would  be  fully  protected  from  high 
speed  traffic  and  the  high  speed  traffic 
will  not  be  interferred  with  by  local 
and  slow  traffic.  Local  traffic  would 
follow  the  parallel  local  roadways  until 
the  first  intersections,  where  if  It  de- 
sired, it  could  enter  the  high  speed 
motorway. 

Loder  said  that  future  legislation 
would  probably  be  devised  whereby  the 
highways  can  be  under  complete  own- 
ership and  control  of  the  state  instead 
of  being  merely  an  easement  over 
property  which  now  exercises  the  right 
of  erecting  as  many  dangerous  inter- 
sections and  frontage  obstructions  as 
owners  and  real  estate  subdividers  can 
devise. 


Do  you  know  that  there  are  15,201,- 
000  telephones  in  the  United  States  and 
15,221,183  automobiles?  In  1920  there 
were  2,000,000  more  telephones  than 
automobiles.

still  further  building  material  price 
reduction  and  a  revival  of  warehouse 
and  allied  construction  loom  large  as 
last-half-of-the-year  prospects,  vrrites 
Allen  E.  Beals  in  the  current  Dow  Ser- 
vice Daily  Building  Reports,  New  York. 
Many  of  the  factors  operating  to  in- 
vigorate the  latter  affect  the  former. 
Housing  developed  the  pre-eminent 
building  investment  nrogram  at  the 
close  of  the  great  war.  From  the  1919- 
20  construction  s.a.^.jn  to  in22-2.'5  that 
type  of  construction  drew  the  lulk  ot 
the  nation's  building  funds.  But  if  the 
first  half  ot  1924  showed  that  there  was 
a  tendency  to  shift  the  last  half  is  cal- 
culated to  accelerate  the  drift  toward 
the  increasing  dominance  of  commer- 
cial building.  For  nearly  five  year?  tl-.e 
national  construction  tide  has  flov/ed 
unturned  in  the  direction  of  doniest.c 
housing  needs.  Indust.-'al  construction 
has  not  participated  in  this  boom  to 
the  same  extent  because  America's  in 
dustrial  expansion  has  I  een  absorbing 
the  vast  volume  of  manufacturing 
space  added  to  existing  mills  durinij  the 
late  national  emergin;/. 


Allan  Rae,  a  building  contractor  of 
547  Lewis  avenue,  San  Leandro,  has 
petitioned  the  United  States  District 
Court  to  be  adjudged  a  voluntary 
bankrupt.  He  scheduled  his  liabilities 
at  $38,406.38,  with  assets  of  $200.  The 
principal  creditor,  said  the  petition,  is 
Ernest  Schmitz  of  Fresno,  to  whom 
$25,000  is  owing  on  a  court  judgment. 
A  creditor's  petition  asking  that  the 
Dowd  Sales  Company  of  this  city  be 
be  declared  an  involuntary  bankrupt, 
also  was  filed  in  the  Federal  Court.  The 
petitioning  creditors  were  William 
Ae-schbach,  the  Illinois-Pacific  Glass 
Company  and  Arthur  G.   Goff. 

Through  the  appeals  made  by  the 
Spring  "Valley  Water  Company  for  con- 
sumers to  conserve  the  supply  in  view 
of  the  present  shortage,  water  con- 
sumption in  the  city  showed  a  reduc- 
tion for  June  of  700,000  gallons  daily 
compared  with  May,  according  to  O.  F,. 
Clemens,  manager  of  the  water  sales 
department.

The  Wendover  cut-oft  will  be  thrown 
open  to  motorists  about  September  1, 
according  to  Frederick  H.  Meyer, 
chairman  of  the  highway  committee  of 
the  San  Francisco  Chamber  of  Com- 
merce and  president  of  the  Utah- 
Nevada-California  Highway  Associa- 
tion. The  fact  that  the  cut-off  will 
be  ready  for  travel  this  year  is  en- 
tirely dtie  to  the  efforts  of  Mr.  Meyer. 
George  S.  Forderer,  vice  president  of 
the  Chamber,  and  others  who  raised 
$50,000  in  San  Francisco  and  Northern 
California  with  which  to  construct  the 
cut-off.  The  Wendover  cut-oft  is  the 
only  direct  highway  tor  motorists  from 
Salt  Lake  City  to  San  Francisco  and  it 
will  lessen  the  distance  by  approxi- 
mately 500  miles.  Travel  from  the  East 
in  the  past  has  had  to  go  way  south  or 
take  the  northern  route  to  avoid  the 
salt  desert  of  Utah,  the  road  through 
which  is  impassable  most  of  the  time. 

General  practical  co-operation  of  big 
corporations  with  the  Forest  Service 
Department  ot  Agriculture  in  prevent- 
ing forest  fires  was  inaugurated  by 
the  Shell  Company  of  California,  which 
has  started  work  on  repainting  its 
twelve-foot  yellow-and-red  dial  signs, 
on  highways  all  along  the  Pacific 
Coast,  with  posters  urging  motorists  to 
help  prevent  fires.  Every  Shell  station 
has  been  made  an  auxiliary  of  the 
Forest  Service,  to  report  incipient  fires 
immediately  where  it  is  more  conven- 
ient to  reach  a  Shell  station  than  a 
forest  ranger.

Los  Angeles  is  credited  with  one- 
twentieth  of  all  the  building  operations 
in  the  United  States  during  1923  m  a

of  Division  10  with  headquarters  in 
Sacramento  and  Comly  heading  Divi- 
sion 2  with  headquarters  at  Dunsmuir, 
Siskiyou  county.  Promotions  followed 
a  civil  service  examination  in  which 
both  engineers  attained  a  grade  en-

condition  ot  the  city  filtration  plant 
and  a  separate  rejiort  showing  all  ex- 
penditures and  disbursements  in  con- 
nection with  the  plant.  This  action 
was  taken  in  compliance  with  a  de- 
mand by  a  group  of  the  city  commis- 
sioners, led  by  A.  E.  Goddard,  that  the 
council  heed  "the  rumbling  of  discon- 
tent among  the  people  of  Sacramento 
with  the  condition  ot  the  filtration 
plant." 

Harold  C.  Cloudman  of  Berkeley  an- 
nounces his  candidacy  for  the  nomina-

.MAX        E.        COOK        REPRESENTING 
REU'iVOOU    ASS'N    IN    L.    A. 

The  California  Redwood  Association 
announces  the  the  appointment  of  Ma.\ 
E.  Cook  as  their  representative  In 
Southern  California,  with  ofl^ces  in  the 
Metropolitan   Building,   Los  Angeles. 

Mr.  Cook  has  had  fourteen  years 
experience  as  an  architect  in  Northern 
California. 

In  the  past  four  years  over  1200 
farm  and  administration  buildings  have 
been  built,  under  supervision  of  Max 
E.  Cook,  for  six  years  Farmstead  En- 
gineer, in  charge  of  all  building  work 
for  the  State  Land  Settlement  Board, 
on  the  9000  acre  State  Land  Colony 
seven  miles  south  of  Turlock  in  the 
San  Joaquin  Valley. 

Under  the  State  Land  Settlement  Act 
the  Delhi  settlers  were  in  most  in- 
stances loaned  60  per  cent  of  the  value 
of  their  buildings  on  a  twenty  year 
term.  This  policy  made  it  imperative 
for  the  best  interests  of  the  settlers  as 
well  as  for  the  protection  of  the  state, 
to  adopt  certain  safe  standards  of  con- 
struction. One  of  the  outstanding 
features  of  the  building  program  at 
Delhi  in  this  connection  was  the  al- 
most universal  use  of  Redwood  for 
siding  the  many  homes  and  outbuild- 
ings, the  use  of  redwood  boards  for 
barns,  etc.,  and  T.  &  G.  redwood  ceil- 
ing on  the  walls  of  the  modern  draft 
tight  poultry  houses,  which,  if  built 
end  to  end  would  extend  over  a  mile  in 
length  and  where  one-half  million  feet 
of  this  material  alone  was  used. 

From  the  very  outset  Redwood  was 
selected  as  the  most  satisfactory  ma- 
terial to  withstand  the  rigors  of 
climate  in  the  valley  and  conditions  to 
be  met  on  the  farm. 

Quoting  Mr.  Cook  on  this  subject 
"Farm  Buildings,  more  than  others, 
suffer  from  lack  of  adequate  paint.  At 
Delhi  we  found  it  necessary  to  refuse 
a  loan  on  an  unpainted  building,  but 
recognizing  the  difficulty  of  keeping 
farm  buildings  properly  painted  at  all 
times,  we  adopted  Redwood  as  a 
standard  construction  for  all  sills,  un- 
derpinning, siding,  barn  boards  and 
exposed  finish.  I  know  no  wood  that 
can  withstand  lack  of  paint  and  hold 
up  better  otherwise  under  adverse  con- 
ditions, on  the  form,  nor  that  is  more 
truly  economical  for  such  use,  than 
Redwood." 

Mr.  Cook's  major  work  in  the  South- 
ern California  District  will  consist  of 
consulting  architects  and  contractors 
in   the   interests  of  Redwood. 


LUMBERMEN   TO   MEET 


The  midsummer  meeting  of  the  Na- 
tional-American Wholesale  Lumber  As- 
sociation to  be  held  at  Portland,  Ore.,

Question— What  Kind  of  A  Town  Would  You 
Like  to  Live  In? 

BY     JOHN     IHLDER.     MANAGER.     CIVIC     DEPARTMENT,     CHAMBER     OF 
BY     JOHN      •"'^.jj^^j,pj^  OP  THE  UNITED  STATES 


The  excellence  of  a  town  depends 
so  much  upon  the  ability  and  the 
spirit  of  its  people  that  these  may 
(luite  upset  any  comparative  rating 
based  upon  actual  tangible  accomplish- 
ment, though,  of  course,  with  ability 
and  the  right  spirit  the  people  of  any 
given  community  are  bound  to  secure 
a  lot  of  accomplishments 

The  trouble  is  that  we  have  to  mark; 
them  on  what  they  have  done  to  date 
and  can  not  take  into  account,  what 
may  be  the  fact,  that  they  have  been 
overcoming  some  great  natural  handi- 
cap which  absorbed  most  of  their 
energy  without  showing  much  positive 
result,  or,  what  again  may  be  a  fact 
that  they  have  only  recently  learned 
how  to  work  together  effectively.  In 
either  case  the  marks  given  their  town 
are  likely  to  be  low,  and  yet,  because 
of  the  spirit  they  have  developed,  the 
things  they  are  now  doing,  the  ac- 
complishments they  are  sure  to  have  to 
their  credit  in  the  near  future,  they 
may  have  a  town  that  we  would  find 
it  very  inspiring  to  live  in.  For  it  is 
where  men  are  now  achieving,  not 
where  they  have  achieved  and  are  now 
sitting  back  admiring  the  past,  that  we 
would    want    to    live. 

On  the  other  hand,  there  is  no  limit 
to  achievement  e.xcept  the  limit  im- 
posed by  our  personal  limitations.  So 
where  we  find  a  community  that  has 
done  a  lot  and  is  still  going  ahead 
with  the  same  vision  and  enthusiasm 
and  energy  to  fresh  achievement,  there 
we  prabably  shall  find  the  people  with 
whom  life  would  be  best  worth  living. 
I  assume  that  the  existence  of  a 
town  or  city  depends  upon  business. 
The  first  test  of  community  excellence 
therefore  is.  What  kind  of  a  place  is  it 
for  business?  And  the  answer  to  this 
question  goes  a  long  way  toward 
answering  the  other  important  ques- 
tion, "Is  it  the  kind  of  a  town  we — you 
and  I —  would  like  to  live  in?"  For,  I 
also  assume  that  we  must  earn  the 
living  we  are  going  to  live. 

Having  assured  ourselves  of  the  ex- 
cellence of  our  town  from  the  essential 
point  of  its  providing  us  with  a  living, 
the  next  question  is.  what  does  it 
provide  beyond  mere  living.  For  es- 
sential as  we  feel  that  mere  living  is, 
that  alone  will  not  satisfy  us;  much 
less  will  it  make  others  who  are  al- 
ready making  a  living  elsewhere  look 
upon   our   town  with  desire. 

Some  day  the  hard-boiled  man  wakes 
up  to  find  that  his  associates  who  have 
made  their  pile,  have  moved  to  some 
other  place  to  spend  it,  and  the  fellow 
who  is  irked  by  the  sight  of  toil,  re- 
alizes that  it  is  on  the  profits  of  busi- 
ness that  he  exists.  As  these  two 
scold  each  other  the  audience  begins 
to  wake  up  to  the  fact  that  business  is 
the  basis  of  most  of  what  makes  life 
worth  living,  beauty,  art,  music;  com- 
fortable homes,  a  gracious  social  life; 
all  these  come  from  the  profits  of  busi- 
ness. And  at  the  same  time  it  wakes 
up  to  the  complementary  fact  that 
business  is  not  an  end  in  itself,  but  is 
a  means  to  an  end,  "that  we  may  live 
more  abundantly." 

So  we  begin  to  understand  that  while 
business  is  the  first  essential  to  our 
town,  it  is  not  the  whole  town,  and 
consequently  instead  of  spoiling  the 
rest  of  the  town  it  must  make  the  rest 
of  the  town  a  better  place  to  live  in.  I 
am  therefore  going  to  suggest  an  en- 
largement of  our  first  test: 

"While  the  existence  of  a  town  or 
city    depends    upon    business,    that    ex- 


the 


istenee  is  not  justified  unles: 
profits  of  business  make  life  in  that 
town  constantly  more  and  more  worth 
living."' 

Assuming  that  we  are  agreed  upon 
this  double-barreled  proposition,  we 
shall  proceed  by  defining  a  series  of  ex- 
cellences by  which  to  measure  our 
town. 

First  Item— My  first  item  in  grading 
our  town  is  to  assume  that  it  has  a 
varietv  of  industries  none  of  which  are 
mutually  harmful.  A  blast  furnace  and 
a  silk  mill,  for  example,  do  not  make 
ideal    neighbors. 

Second  Item— The  industries  of  our 
town  should  be  those  for  which  the 
town   offers   peculiar  advantages. 

Third  Item — Commerce — This  is  put 
third  instead  of  first  because  in  spite 
of  historical  development,  commerce 
has  come  to  depend,  especially  In  re- 
tail  business,   somewhat  on   industry. 

Fourth  Item — "Has  our  town  a  plan 
which  will  guide  its  future  growth,  and 
regulations  which  will  prevent  short- 
sighted and  greedy  individuals  from 
handicapping  business  and  spoiling 
those  things  upon  which  we  spend  the 
profits    of    business. 

Fifth  Item — Does  our  town  have 
good   housing? 

Sixth  Item— Education — Does  our 
town  provide  enough  schools  for  all  its 
children  and  are  all  its  schools  good? 

Other  Items  —  Recreation  —  Public  — 
outdoor,  playgrounds,  parks,  etc. — in- 
door,  music,   etc. 

Commercial — Bowling  alleys,  pool 
rooms,  movies,  theatres,  music,  etc. 

Public  Health— Site  of  the  city, 
natural  drainage,  water  supply,  sewage, 
waste  disposal,  health  department. 
Security — Fire,  Police-courts- jails. 
Neatness  and  Repair — Public  and 
semi-public  buildings — railway  station, 
streets  and  public  places,  private  build- 
ings. .    ^.      . 

The  condition  of  these  indicates 
whether  our  town  has  or  has  not  com- 
munity spirit,   alertness,   self  respect. 

Taxes  and  bonded  indebtedness  if 
too  high  indicate  slackness  in  admin- 
istration or  worse,  indifferent  citizen- 
ship, lack  of  results  from  expenditures. 
If  too  low  indicate  an  indifferent 
citizenship  and  lack  of  civic  pride. 
Municipal  expenditures  should  be  in- 
vestments which  in  large  measure  pro- 
duce financial  results  of  facilitating 
business  and  raising  values.  Some,  like 
expenditures  on  schools,  are  invest- 
ments in  the  future. 

Expenditures  for  present  improve- 
ments, like  street  paving,  should  be  en- 
tirely completed,  bonds  paid  up,  during 
the   life   of   the   improvement. 

If  city  has  a  debt  incurred  to  meet 
current  expenses  or  to  pay  for  im- 
provements which  are  now  used  up  it 
indicates  a  low  standard  of  citizenship. 
Beauty — Beauty  like  happiness  is 
best  when  secured  as  a  by-product.  An 
ugly  thing  is  not  made  beautiful  by 
putting  a  useless  ornament  on  it.  Real 
satisfaction  comes  from  having  the 
things  we  use  every  day  beautiful.  And 
they  will  be  beautiful  if  they  fully 
meet  the  needs  of  use.  The  present  day 
automobile  is  becoming  a  thing  of 
beauty,  but  the  main  consideration  is 
that  i"t  shall  be  useful.  Our  town  will 
be  beautiful  when  we  give  enough 
thought  to  our  buildings  and  to  our 
streets  to  make  them  fully  efficient. 
The  trouble  now  is  that  they  are  half 
baked,  lick  and  a  promise  jobs. 

Individuality — Our  town  should  have 
individuality,    not   be   a   copy   of   some 


other  place.  If  it  has  a  good  tradition 
in  architecture,  follow  that  tradition, 
don't  build  an  imitation  New  York 
hotel  in  Charleston.  Make  use  of 
natural  beauties,  river,  valley,  hills, 
etc.  They  are  never  quite  the  same 
as  those  in  other  towns.  Use  local 
names  for  your  streets  so  that  they 
will  recall  your  history  or  make  those 
who  repeat  them  think  of  your  town. 
When  one  says  Fifth  Avenue  he  prob- 
ably thinks  of  New  York,  but  there  are 
a  hundred  other  fifth  avenues.  When 
one  says  Peachtree  Street  he  does  not 
have  to  add  Atlanta. 

City  Government — We  won't  try  to 
set  up  a  score  for  the  government  but 
will  assume  that  under  our  democratic 
system,  if  the  community  stands  well 
on  the  other  items  listed  then  It  must 
have  a  fairly  good  government  because 
it  has  a  good  citizenship. 

Citizenship — Of  course  we  have  all 
begun  to  realize  by  this  time  that  there 
is  no  way  of  getting  a  good  govern- 
ment without  have  a  good,  active  citi- 
zenship. Perpetual  motion  is  as  much 
a  dream  in  civic  affairs  as  it  is  in 
mechanics.  But  an  active,  effective 
citizenship  means  effort,  constructive 
effort.  So  our  town  has  its  quota  o( 
civic  and  social  agencies  which  afford 
opportunity  for  citizens  to  choose  the 
subjects  in  which  they  are  most  In- 
terested, study  them,  experiment  with 
them,  and  then,  on  the  basis  of  know- 
ledge, put  them  over.  So  we  have  a 
live  chamber  of  commerce  to  present 
the  business  man's  point  of  view  on 
community  problems  and  we  have  phil- 
anthropic agencies  to  deal  with  our 
social    problems. 

The  Spirit  of  the  People — If  there  is 
any  one  thing  that  makes  us  want  to 
live  in  a  town  it  is  the  spirit  of  the 
people.  I  put  this  last  because  it  is 
an  intangible  and  we  Americans  want 
something  we  can  get  a  grip  on.  But 
this  intangible  is  so  important  that  it 
can't  be  left  out.  Any  one  of  you  who' 
has  lived  among  strangers  for  awhile 
knows  the  joy  of  again  being  among 
his  own  people.  And  our  own  people 
are  those  who  are  friendly,  helpful, 
willing  to  get  in  and  push.  That  spirit 
is  not  natural  always,  but  it  can  be 
cultivated.  And  where  that  spirit  is 
there  is  also  a  good  town,  the  kind  of 
town  we  would  like  to  live  in. 


NAIL     ROOFING     MACHINE 


A  new  nailing  machine  that  was  de- 
signed for  roofing  work,  that  feeds 
nails  to  the  hammer  as  fast  as  they  can 
be  driven,  and  that  eliminates  holding 
the  nail  with  the  fingers,  recently  was 
announced  by  the  Pearson  Manufactur- 
ing Company,  Robbinsdale.  Minnesota. 

The  frame  of  the  machine  is  made  of 
malleable  iron,  with  a  galvanized  iron 
nail  box.  The  feeders  and  the  nail 
catch  are  made  of  steel,  with  steel 
wire  springs.  Almost  all  sizes  of  roof- 
ing nails  may  be  used  in  this  device, 
with  a  maximum  nail  length  of  1% 
inches  as  a  possibility.  The  machine 
is  adjustable  for  any  length  of  nail  up 
to  this  limit. 

When  the  nail  is  driven,  the  device  is 
pulled  back.  This  causes  the  nail 
catch  to  spring  into  place,  and  to  feed 
out  another  nail,  ready  for  the  next 
blow.  The  nailer  is  provided  with 
three  convenient  holding  places.  The 
heaviest  gloves  may  be  worn  by  the 
roofer.  The  manufacturers  also  make 
shingle  nailers  and  hand  tackers  that 
are   similar   to   the   roofing  nailer.

better,  but  by  no  means  well.  Engi- 
neering experts  In  dozen  fields,  well 
equipped  specialists,  are  often  so  111  re- 
warded that  they  find  11  hard  to  live  In 
modest  comfort. 

These  conditions  are  beginning  to 
produce  the  inevitable  result.  Educa- 
tors who  are  trying  to  assist  young 
men  In  their  selection  of  a  career  are 
telling  the  truth  about  the  engineering 
professions  and  are  comparing  them 
unfavorably  with  other  field  of  ac- 
tivity. Engineers  themselves  are 
equally  frrnk  when  advising  their 
young  friends.  Clear-thinking,  well- 
trained  young  men  are  too  precious  an 
asset  to  put  into  blind-alley  jobs. 

Scouts  from  the  great  industrial  cor- 
porations each  Spring  look  over  the 
graduating  classes  of  our  technical 
schools  with  a  view  to  engaging  prom- 
ising students.  Of  late  they  have  been 
complaining  of  the  Insufficiency  of  the 
material  at  their  disposal.  In  some 
Instances  they  have  been  frankly  told 
that  they  want  too  much  for  what  they 
are  willing  to  pay  and  that  they  can- 
not hope  to  find  their  needs  fully  sup- 
plied until  they  are  prepared  to  pay  a 
fair  price  for  the  costly  and  hard-won 
mental  equipment  whose  benefits  they 
desire. 

From  colonial  times  our  people  have 
had  a  genius  for  mechanics,  invention 
and  applied  science.  It  would  be  a 
national  calamity  if  we  should  be  so 
shortsighted  as  to  starve  out  this  price- 
less talent.  If  there  is  any  one  thing 
about  our  social  evolution  that  is  cer- 
tain, it  is  our  growing  dependence 
upon  science  to  solve  the  problems  of 
peace  and  war  and  every-day  life.  To 
weaken  by  neglect  or  indifference  those 
powers  upon  which  our  future  exis- 
tence may  depend  would  be  sheer 
folly. — Saturday  Evening  Post. 


NEW  CORK  MACHINE  BASE 


A  cork  machine  base  material  ne'wly 
introduced  from  Europe,  where  it  has 
been  used  successfully  to  insulate  floors 
against  the  vibration  of  machinery, 
now  is  produced  by  the  Korfund  Com- 
pany, 11  Waverly  Place,  New  York 
City.  This  material  Is  assembled  in 
the  form  of  machine  bases  of  desired 
dimensions,  and  consists  of  blocks  of 
cork,  cut  from  the  bark,  1  9/16  inches 
thick,  held  rigidly  in  wrought  iron 
frames.  The  frames  are  cross-braced 
in  both  directions,  but  the  resiliency  of 
the  natural  cork  practically  closes  all 
joints,  and  affords  an  almost  continuous 
surface. 

The  cork  is  impregnated  with  a  pre- 
servative. The  machine  is  bolted  to  a 
wooden  or  concrete  base,  wliich  in  turn 
is  placed  upon  this  cork  base,  which 
completely  isolates  the  machine  from 
the  floor,  as  no  bolts  pass  through  the 
cork  base. 


MOISTURE    ABSORPTION    OF    TERRA 
COTTA 


The  U.  S.  Bureau  of  Standards  re- 
cently made  some  tests  to  determine 
whether  the  percentage  of  absorption 
of  a  small  specimen  of  terra  cotta 
could  be  taken  as  representative  of  the 
absorption  of  the  remaining  sections  of 
the  piece.  One  coping  block  from  each 
of  four  commercial  companies  was 
sawed  into  18  sections  and  an  absorp- 
tion test  made  on  each  section.  It  was 
found  that  in  a  large  terra  cotta  block 
the  percentage  absorption  may  vary  2 
per  cent.  Balusters  corresponding  to 
the  copings  have  been  sawed  in  half 
and  will  also  be  tested  for  absorption. 


'Separate   Contract   System"    is 

Rapped    by   Government   Agency 


High  interest  for  the  entire  con- 
struction industry  Is  held  in  the  fact 
that  a  government  agency  has  refused 
to  accept  the  theory  that  economy  is 
promoted  through  the  "separate  con- 
tract system"  under  which  individual 
agreements  would  be  made  between 
owners  and  those  handling  distinct  in- 
stallations such  as  plumbing,  heating 
equipment,  electrical  fixtures  and 
wiring. 

The  Interdepartmental  Board  of  Con- 
tracts and  Adjustments,  an  agency 
created  by  General  Dawes  while  he  was 
head  of  the  Bureau  of  the  Budget  has 
adopted  a  resolution  which  has  the 
effect  of  refusing  to  abolish  the  gen- 
eral contract  system  from  federal  con- 
struction operations.  This  resolution 
was  adopted  by  the  board  in  answer  to 
the  request  for  adoption  of  the  sepa- 
rate contracts  procedure  made  by  a 
joint  committee  of  the  National  Asso- 
ciation of  Master  Plumbers,  the  Heat- 
ing and  Piping  Contractors'  National 
Association  and  the  Association  of 
Elect  rogists-lnternational. 

The  claims  made  by  this  committee 
in  favor  of  the  separate  contracts  sys- 
tem were  replied  to  in  a  brief  filed  with 
the  board  l^y  the  Associated  General 
Contractors  of  America,  it  being 
through  this  brief  that  a  firm  case  for 
the  joint  contract  system  was  estab- 
lished. 

The  board's  decision  acquires  an 
added  importance,  it  is  pointed  out,  be- 
cause of  the  effect  which  it  will  carry 
into  the  field  of  construction  work 
other  than  that  carried  on  by  the 
government. 

The  text  of  the  resolution,  pointed 
to  as  emphasizing  the  necessity  for 
general  contractors'  services  in  build- 
ing operations,   follows: 

"WHEREAS  a  joint  comraitte  of  the 
National  Association  of  Master  Plumb- 
ers and  the  Heating  and  Piping  Con- 
tractors' National  Association  and  the 
Association  of  Electrogists-Interna- 
tional,  has  requested  the  Interdepart- 
mental Board  of  Contracts  and  Adjust- 
ments to  take  such  action  as  will  re- 
quire the  various  departments  and  in- 
dependent establishments  of  the  Gov- 
ernment, in  connection  with  the  per- 
formance of  public  works,  to  advertise 
separately,  and  contract  separately,  for 
the  portions  of  the  work  which  pertain 
to    their   respectice   specialties;   and 

"WHEREAS  this  board  has  taken 
this  question  under  careful  advisement 
and  has  heard  the  arguments  of  the 
above-mentioned  associations;  of  the 
representatives  of  the  various  depart- 
ments and  independent  establishments 
of  the  Government;  and  of  numerous 
general   contractors;   and 

"WHEREAS  in  view  of  the  evidence 
produced,  taken  together  with  the  ex- 
perience of  competent  government  of- 
ficials familiar  with  construction  work, 
the  board  believes  that  the  granting 
of  this  request  of  the  associations 
above-mentioned  would — 

"(a)  Unduly  restrict  the  freedom  of 
action  of  the  heads  of  departments; 


"(b)  Be  of  doubtful  value  from  the 
standpoint  of  actual  economy  in  many, 
if  not   in   the   majority,   cases; 

"(c)  Result  in  placing  responsibil- 
ities and  duties  upon  supervising  gov- 
ernment officials  which  they  are  not 
always  in  a  position  to  satisfactorily 
perform; 

"(d)  Take  away  from  the  Govern- 
ment any  advantage  which  it  might 
otherwise  secure  from  the  utilization  of 
a  general  contractors'  organization  and 
powers  of  properly  timing  and  co- 
ordinating the  various  parts  of  the 
work;  and 

"(e)  Tend  to  delay  the  performance, 
give  rise  to  claims  for  delays  of  one 
contractor  by  another,  and  create  dif- 
ficulties which  are  largely  avoided 
when  the  work  is  performed  under  one 
contract.      Therefore   be   it 

"Resolved,  That  it  is  the  opinion  of 
the  board  that  it  is  to  the  interest  of 
the  United  States  that  no  action  be 
taken  which  would  place  any  restric- 
tion upon  the  authority  of  the  heads  of 
departments  or  independent  establish- 
ments to  exercise  discretion  as  to  the 
manner  of  awarding  contracts  or  sub- 
dividing the  work  to  be  done;  be  it 
furtiier 

"Resolved,  That  the  question  of  the 
advisability  of  sub-dividing  contracts 
in  specific  cases  be  called  to  the  at- 
tention of  con'tracting  offces  in  the 
manual  of  instructions  now  being  pre- 
pared by  the  board. 

F.  L.  Cranford,  Brooklyn,  N.  T., 
President  of  The  Associated  General 
Contractors  of  America,  commenting 
upon  adoption  of  the  resolution,  said: 

It  is  almost  axiomatic  that  states, 
cities  and  counties  should  turn  to  the 
Federal  Government  in  determining 
their  practices  with  respect  to  contract 
forms  and  practices  in  construction. 
Certainly  if  the  Federal  Government 
could  establish  fundamental  laws  and 
under  these  laws  acceptable  standard 
contracts  and  practices,  in  due  course 
of  time  the  way  could  be  appointed  for 
other  governmental  agencies  to  do 
likewise. 

If  we  assume  that  there  had  been  no 
national  organization  of  general  con- 
tractors to  present  the  matter  of  sepa- 
rate contracts  for  mechanical  equip- 
ment of  buildings  is  it  not  conceivable 
that  the  Joint  Committee  of  Master 
Plumbers,  heating  and  piping  contrac- 
tors and  electrical  contractors  would 
have  fastened  on  the  Federal  Govern- 
ment a  practice  which  some  of  the 
states,  unfortunately,  have  written  into 
their  laws?  Should  this  practice  be- 
come general  in  all  of  our  govern- 
mental agencies,  is  it  not  logical  to 
assume  that  other  sub-trades  would 
follow  in  its  wake  and  gradually  the 
business  of  general  contracting  be 
legislated  out  of  existence?  Is  it  not 
plain  that  the  general  contractors  who 
work  far  from  the  metropolitan  cen- 
ters and  in  small  towns,  or  even  in  the 
country,  are  vitally  aiiected  by  such 
procedure   as   this? 


NATIONAL     FOREST    HIGHWAYS     TO 
BE    BUILT    IN    ARIZONA 


Expenditures  totaling  ?293,559  of 
forest  highway  funds  for  the  con- 
struction of  136  miles  of  roads  within 
or  adjacent  to  the  National  Forests  of 
Arizona  have  just  been  authorized  by 
the  Secretary  of  Agriculture,  according 
to  an  annauncement  from  the  Forest 
Service,  United  States  Department  of 
Agriculture. 

One  of  the  projects  calls  for  the 
completion  of  86  miles  in  the  Cllfton- 
Springerville    section      of    the      Apache 


National  Forest.  The  sum  of  $73,000 
has  been   allotted  to  this  work. 

Between  Flagstafl  and  the  east 
boundary  of  the  Cocaninoc  National 
Forest  over  23  miles  will  be  built,  for 
which  $109,331  has  been  set  aside.  This 
road  forms  an  important  link  in  the 
State   highway   system. 

The  sum  of  $30,000  has  been  allotted 
to  build  eight  miles  along  the  Grand 
Canyon  highway  within  the  Kaibab  Na- 
tional Forest,  beginning  at  the  town  of 
Fredonia.  Another  item  is  for  $81,228 
to  complete  18  miles  of  the  Prescott 
White  Spar  road  in  the  Prescott  Na- 
tional  Forest.  _

I'rovision  for  Federal  aid  for  the 
fiscal  year  1925  which  begins  on  July  1, 
is  made  in  the  Agricultural  Appropria- 
tion Bill  signed  by  the  President  on 
June  5.  The  bill  authorizes  the  Sec- 
restary  of  Agriculture  to  apportion  to 
the  States  immediately  the  $7o,000,000 
authorized  by  the  Post  Office  Appro- 
priation Act  of  June  19,  1922,  and  ap- 
propriates .$13,000,000  to  be  immediately 
available,  the  remainder  to  be  made 
available  in  later  appropriations.  The 
Secretary  signed  the  apportionment 
order  June  6,  and  as  a  result  there 
will  be  no  interruption  to  Federal-aid 
road  work.  ,        .      ,i. 

The  apportionment  is  made  to  tne 
States  on  the  same  basis  as  for  pre- 
ceding years,  except  Hawaii  is  for  the 
first  time  admitted  to  a  share  which  is 
on  the  same  basis  as  for  the  States. 
This  has  been  provided  for  in  an  act  of 
the   present   session    of   Congress. 

Since  1916  a  total  of  $540,000,000  has 
been  made  available  by  previous  acts 
of  Congress,  and  the  Bureau  of  Public 
Koads  of  the  United  States  Department 
of  Agriculture  which  administers  these 
funds  reports  the  status  on  May  31  as 
follows:  Completed  32,099  miles,  under 
construction  17,000  miles,  approved  for 
construction,  2518  miles,  and  $33,106,- 
126    available   for   new   projects. 

Practically  all  of  the  old  funds  arid 
the  entire  amount  of  the  new  funds 
have  been  or  will  be  expended  on  the 
Federal-aid  highway  system  of  the 
United  States.  This  system  provided  for 
by  the  Federal  Highway  Act  of  1921 
consists  of  approximately  170,000  miles 
of  road  and  has  been  designated  by  the 
States  and  approved  by  the  Federal 
Government.  At  the  beginning  of  the 
present  year  it  was  estimated  that  60,- 
000  miles  of  the  system  had  been  sur- 
faced, about  8700  miles  graded,  leaving 
110,000  to  be  surfaced.  Some  of  this 
work  had  been  done  by  the  States  in- 
dependent of  Federal  aid.  To  surface 
the  remaining  110,000  miles  by  1934 
will  require  an  annual  program  of 
11,000  miles. 

The  new  legislation  carries  an  ap- 
propriation of  $6,000,000  for  national 
forest  roads  and  trails,  $3,500,000  of 
this  amount  being  the  remainder  of  the 
$6,500,000     authorized     for    the     current 


New  box  plant  of  the  California  Door

79   Pacific   Coast   Cities   in   June 

Expend    $34,690,334    for    Building 


Plant  of  the  Basalt  Rock  Company 
near  Napa  will  be  in  operation  August 
1,  it  Is  announced.  The  plant  was 
established  at  a  cost  of  $160,000. 


Jas.  Harris  and  W.  A.  Cassin  will 
shortly  open  the  Reliable  Fire  Retard- 
ment Paint  Company  at  1800  Nevin 
Ave.,   Richmond. 


Pacific  Gas  Appliance  Company  has 
opened  its  new  warehouse  and  shop 
building  at  Nineteenth  and  Market  Sts., 
Oakland.  H.  S.  Harris  is  president  of 
the  company. 


A  total  of  $34,690,334  in  building 
permits  issued  in  79  cities  of  the  Pa- 
cific Coast  during  June  indicates  a 
continuance  of  the  conservative  policy 
on  the  part  of  builders  which  has 
marked  the  records  of  the  past  three 
months.  Students  of  business  economics 
comparing  this  situation  with  the  ex- 
tensive building  activities  of  the  pre- 
vious year,  consider  it  indicative  of 
a  very  healthful  condition  destined  to 
prevent  a  threatened  overbuilding  and 
to  maintain  a  stable  balance  in  im- 
proved values  as  well  as  in  employ- 
ment  of   labor. 

An  analysis  of  the  June  building  fig- 
ures reported  in  the  Pacific  Coast 
Section  of  the  National  Monthly  Build-

Remixes  Concrete 

When  materials  have  passed  through  mixing  process 
once,  and  come  to  discharging  side  of  the  drum, 
the  reversed  discharge  chute  sprays  them  back  to 
the  charging  side  for  repeated  trips  through  the  5- 
action,  remixing  process.  This  spraying-showering 
action,  at  the  same  time  prevents  separation  of  aggre- 
gate according  to  size.  To  the  last  shovelful  of  every 
batch,  Koehring-mixed  concrete  is  uniform,  re-mixed 
concrete — dominant  strength  concrete— and  to  every 
last  casting  and  bearing,  the  Koehring  is  the  heavy 
duty  mixer  of  trouble-proof,  long  service  life.

PATE  ROAD  CAMP.S  ATTRACT  WIDE 
ATTENTION 


The  far  oft  Philippines  is  the  latest 
overnment  to  become  interested  in  the 
risen  road  camp  work  of  the  Cali- 
jmia  Highway  Commission.  Hon. 
.amon  Victorio,  director  of  prisons  for 
ae  Philippine  Islands,  is  in  California 
nd  will  inspect  one  and  possibly  more 
it  the  prison  T-oad  camps  and  make  a 
iTorough  study  of  the  California  con- 
ict  pay  law  system. 

California  has  been  using  convicts 
j-om  the  state  prisons  to  help  build 
liountain  roads  since  1915.  and  in  1923 
egan  to  pay  the  men  a  small  wage  for 
leir  services.  Economies  effected  in 
le  camps  have  made  it  possible  for  the 
len  to  make  net  earnings  not  to  ex- 
;ed  75  cents  a  day  without  increasing 
le  cost  of  the  work  to  the  state.  Wide 

iread  interest  has  been  manifested 
1  the  California  plan  and  such  men  as 
udge  Ben  Lindsey  of  Denver  have 
isited    the    state    to    inspect    the    road 

ork  being  done  by  convict   labor. 


OS      ANGELES    PAA'ING       PROGRAM 
BREAKS    RECORO 


The  greatest  paving  activity  in  the 
istory  of  the  engineering  department 
the  city  of  Los  Angeles  continued 
jring  the  last  fiscal  year,  ended  June 
1,  1924,  according  to  the  annual  report 
■  City  Engineer  John  A.  Griffin,  which 
IS  just  been  filed  with  the  city  council 
t  the  close  of  the  year  there  were  119 
)ntracts  aggregating  $5,974,287  under 
ay,  as  compared  with  contracts 
italing  $4,017,237  under  way  at  the 
Id  of  the  previous  fiscal  year. 


Southern  California  during  the  first 
six  months  of  1924  has  contracted  for 
more  than  $5,000,000  of  road  work,  one- 
third  of  which  has  been  from  state 
funds,  and  the  remaining  two-thirds 
provided  by  the  counties.  This  money 
will  be  applied  on  the  construction  and 
improvement  of  more  than  350  miles 
of  highway,  involving  46  different  pro- 
jects. 

In  addition  to  this  road  work  con- 
tracts were  let  for  13  bridges  totaling 
nearly  1200  feet  in  length  and  involv- 
ing an  expenditure  of  more  than  $124,- 
000. 

These  figures  are  compiled  by  the 
engineering  department  of  the  Auto- 
mobile Club  of  Southern  California. 

The  state  projects  approximate  $1.- 
750,000  and  include  11.9  miles  of  gravel 
road  in  Imperial  county;  27.5  miles  of 
cement  and  asphalt  concrete  and  grad- 
ing in  Los  Angeles  county;  21.2  miles 
of  grading  and  Portland  cement  con- 
crete in  Orange  county;  24.6  miles  of 
grading,  cement  concrete,  widening 
and  sea  wall  in  Ventura  county.  In 
Orange  county,  also,  the  state  Is  build- 
ing a  522-foot  bridge  across  the  Santa 
Ana  river. 

County  highway  construction  shows 
40  Vs  miles  of  asphalt  concrete  in  Kern 
county;  approximately  48  miles  of  road 
work  in  Los  Angeles  county  of  prac- 
tically all  classes;  13  miles  of  gravel- 
ing, asphalt  and  cement  concrete,  and 
widening  in  Orange  county;  nearly  six 
miles  of  macadam  In  Riverside  county; 
132  miles  of  repairing  and  macadam, 
and  macadam  and  oil  in  San  Bernar- 
dino countj';  five  miles  of  cement  con- 
crete in  San  Diego  county;  25  miles  of 
macadam  in  Santa  Tnez  valley  in  San- 
ta Barbara  county,  and  three  miles  of 
asphalt  macadam  in  Ventura  county. 


END    OF    IRON    TRADES    STRIKE    IN 
NEW  YORK  LOOMS 


That  the  end  of  the  long  drawn  out 
strike  of  structural  iron  workers  of 
New  York  is  not  far  off  is  the  opinion 
of  those  who  have  closely  followed  the 
situation  there.  The  members  of  the 
Iron  League,  the  organization  employ- 
ing structural  iron  workers  have  been 
fighting  ever  since  the  strike  started, 
not  only  to  keep  wages  in  that  craft 
from  going  up,  but  also  to  keep  the 
erection  of  structural  steel  on  the 
open    shop    basis. 

More  than  1000  men  are  now  work- 
ing on  contracts  for  members  of  the 
League.  The  bricklayers  failed  to  re- 
spond to  orders  to  walk  out  on  jobs 
which  were  being  manned  by  non- 
union iron  ■workers,  and  with  the  ex- 
ception of  the  hoisting  engineers,  all 
the  other  trades  are  working  on  jobs 
where  the  steel  is  being  erected  by 
members    of    the    Iron    League. 

The  Supreme  Court  of  New  York  has 
been  asked  by  the  Iron  League  to  re- 
strain the  structural  steel  workers 
from  interfering  with,  or  intimidating 
its  men,  and  to  decide  against  the 
closed  shop  as  unconstitutional.  In  the 
event  the  League  is  successful  in  the 
court,  action  will  likely  be  brought 
against  the  structural  iron  workers 
union   for  damages. 


Bidding  without  competition,  the 
Ewauna  Box  Company  of  Klamath 
Falls,  Ore,,  was  found  to  have  offered 
the  government  the  record  beating 
price  of  $6.67  per  1,000  feet  for  yellow 
and  sugar  pine  timber  when  the  bid 
was  opened  at  the  Klamath  agency. 
The  company  bid  on  approximately 
400,000,000  feet  of  timber  included  In 
the  Long  Prairie  unit  on  the  Klamath 
Indian    Reservation. 

The  Fremont  Land  Company  of  Fre- 
mont, Minn.,  was  the  highest  bidder  on 
310.000,000  feet  in  the  North  Marsh 
unit,  offering  $5.53  on  yellow  and 
white   pine  timber. 

For  Douglas  Fir  and  incense  cedar 
on  the  Long  Prairie  unit,  the  Ewauna 
company  bid  $4  per  1000.  For  similar 
timber  on  the  North  Marsh  Unit,  the 
Fremont    Company    bid    $2.50    per    1,000. 

Other  bidders  on  the  North  Marsh 
unit  were  the  Lamm  Lumber  Company 
of  Klamath  Falls,  $5.35  for  pine;  Topsy 
Lumber  Company,  $5.28;  W.  C.  Hopkins, 
Spokane,  Wash.,  $5.27;  Pelican  Bay 
Lumber  Company,  Klamath  Falls,  $5.17. 

The  bids  will  be  submitted  to  Chas. 
H.  Burke,  commissioner  of  Indian  af- 
fairs at  Washington,  D.  C,  for  final 
decision. 


RUSTLESS      STEEL   IS    AIM    OF      NEW 
PROCESS 


Steel  men  of  Pittsburgh,  Pa.,  are 
watching  with  interest  the  tests  that 
are  being  made  on  a  large  scale  in 
some  of  the  large  steel  mills  of  a  new 
process  for  making  stainless  steel  and 
iron. 

Stainless  steel  has  been  made,  but  it 
has  been  confined  to  cutlery  and  small 
fittings,  due  to  the  high  cost  of  its 
production.  By  the  new  method  the 
cost  has  been  reduced,  according  to  the 
inventor,  Ronald  Wild  of  Sheffield,  so 
that  rustless  tubes,  automobiles  and 
even  battle  and  other  ships  are  pos- 
sible. 

The  inventor  says  the  process  con- 
sists essentially  in  the  reduction  of 
chromite  or  chrome  iron  ore  in  its 
mined  condition  by  means  of  a  lo"w  car- 
bon silicon  reducer,  associated  with  the 
melting  of  an  initial  bath  of  metal  by 
means  of  electric  or  other  form  of  ex- 
ternal heating  to  insure  a  residual  lo^v 
carbon  and  lo'w  silicon  final  metal  con- 
taining the  desired  percentages  of 
chromium. 


RECORD    LUIUBER   CUT   FOR    SUGAR 
PINE    MILL 


The    Norwegian      motorship  George 

Washington       will     arrive     in  Seattle 

shortly    with    a    cargo    of    2000  tons    of 
Belgium   cement. 


By  cutting  an  average  of  14,000,000 
feet  a  month,  the  Sugar  Pine  Lumber 
Company's  Pinedale  plant  in  Fresno 
county,  is  producing  more  lumber  than 
any  other  pine  mill  in  the  state,  ac- 
cording to  W.  F.  Baird,  assistant  gen- 
eral manager. 

"This  mill  cut  more  lumber  than  any 
other  mill  in  the  state  during  May  and 
June,"  Baird  says,  "and  we  are  main- 
taining an  average  of  fourteen  million 
feet  a  month,  with  two  shifts  working 
constantly.  Lumber  is  moving  out  of 
the  yards  in  fair  quantities  and  most 
of  it  is  going  East." 

Asked  whether  there  was  any  indi- 
cation of  the  mill  closing  down  because 
of  over  production  of  lumber,  Baird 
said  there  was  no  consideration  of 
such  action  at  this  time.

Highway  contracts  in  Washington 
state  are  cutting  the  cost  of  ivork  on 
state  roads,  according  to  word  from 
Seattle.  Contractors  believe  lower 
prices  will  prevail  durmg  the  rest  ot 
the  present  year,  but  are  cautious 
about  predicting  figures  on  next  sea- 
son's work.  Structural  steel  and  steel 
for  reinforcement  used  in  bridge  work 
has  declined  sharply,  according  to  re- 
ports. It  is  estimated  that  a  saving  of 
$10,000  was  made  in  the  Nooksack 
bridge  contract  because  ot  falling 
prices.  Reinforcement  steel  now  is 
down  to  the  1913  level  it  is  said. 


The  Interior  Department  has  awarded 
to  the  Ewauna  Box  Company  of  Kla- 
math Palls,  Ore.,  a  contract  for  cutting 
385,000,000  feet  of  timber  on  4500  acres 
of  unallotted  land  in  the  Long  Prairie 
unit  of  the  Klamath  Indian  reservation. 
Prices  to  be  paid  are  $6.87  a  thousand 
feet  for  yellow  and  sugar  pine,  $4  for 
Douglas  flr  and  incense  cedar  and  $1 
for  other  species,  the  highest  ever  paid 
for  this  class  of  timber  in  Oregon,  The 
receipts  will  go  to  the  Indians. 

Robert  Proctor,  superintendent  of 
buildings  in  Seattle,  has  issued  a  warn- 
ing to  contractors  concerning  the  ce- 
ment they  use.  Proctor  warns  against 
the  use  of  cements  tliat  have  not  been 
tested  by  the  American  Society  for 
testing  Materials.  The  four  brands 
sold  on  the  Seattle  market  that  come 
up  to  the  requirements  are  "Superior," 
"Olympic,"    "Christiana"   and   "Condor," 

Oakland  will  be  host  to  200  manufac- 
turers, merchants  and  bankers  of 
Massachusetts  on  September  25,  when 
the  state  caravan  arrives  in  the  San 
Francisco  Bay  district  to  investigate 
opportunities  for  establishing  indus- 
tries and  for  investments  on   the  west 


Declaring  that  the  Taft-Greenfleld 
Highway,  now  under  construction,  is 
not  up  to  standard,  Ralph  C.  Meyers, 
secretary  of  the  Kern  County  Chapter, 
American  Association  of  Engineers,  has 
addressed  a  letter  to  the  Kern  County 
Board  of  Supervisors,  at  the  direction 
of  the  association,  urging  the  county 
governing  body  to  verify  the  state- 
ments. It  is  alleged  in  the  communi- 
cation that  numerous  rock  pockets  are 
in  evidence;  that  the  road  has  not  been 
properly  rolled,  thus  making  it  thinner 
in  some  portions  than  in  others,  and 
that  edge  of  the  highway  can  be 
crumpled  by  a  man's  weight.  The  su- 
pervisors deferred  action  on  the 
charges  until  July  28th. 


Preliminary  permits  for  a  hydro- 
electric power  project  on  the  Klamath 
River,  in  Humboldt  and  .Siskiyou  Coun- 
ties, have  been  granted  by  the  Federal 
Power  Commission  to  the  associated  in- 
terests of  A.  P.  Seybold  and  the  Elec- 
tro-Metals Company  of  San  Francisco. 
The  permits  cover  three  power  dams 
and  construction  involving  an  expendi- 
ture of  $15,000,000.  It  is  proposed  to 
develop  125,000  horsepower  for  use  in 
the  manufacture  of  niter  and  produces 
ot  the   electrical  and  metal  industries. 


Pacific  Gasoline  Company  is  con- 
structing a  $150,000  plant  on  the  Taft- 
Bakersfleld  highway,  about  5  miles 
north  of  Taft,  to  consist  of  a  gas  com- 
pressing   unit    and    absorption    plant.

ERECT    KEW    HOME 


Tentative  plans  for  the  erection  of 
an  association  home  are  announced  by 
otHcers  of  the  Master  Plumbers'  Asso- 
ciation of  Alameda  County.  Member- 
ship of  the  association  has  been  ma- 
terially augmented  during  the  last 
year,  according  to  President  L.  J. 
Kruse,  and  it  is  proposed  to  erect  a 
home  that  will  comprise  an  assembly 
hall,  committee  rooms,  lecture  room 
and  library.  Provision  also  is  to  be 
made  for  the  holding  of  night  classes 
tor  those  who  care  to  avail  themsel- 
ves of  the  opportunity. 

At  a  recent  meeting  of  the  associa- 
tion Kruse  was  elected  president;  W. 
H.  Picard,  vice-president:  J.  B.  Morse, 
secretary:  A.  H.  MclCnown,  treasurer 
and  P.  H.  Blake,  sergeant-at-  arms. 


Refusal  of  Seattle.,  Wash.,  building 
contractors  to  grant  an  increase  of  $1 
a  day  to  sheet  metal  workers  may  re- 
sult in  a  strike,  according  to  word 
from  that  city.  The  scale  has  been 
J8.50  a  day  and  the  men  ask  $9.50.  Con- 
tractors assert  they  do  not  think  con- 
ditions warrant  an  increase.  Many 
large  building  projects  will  be  affected 
by  the  strike,  if  called,  but  contrac- 
tors expect  to  be  able  to  continue  op- 
erations without  serious  delay. 


National  Electric  Light  Association 
with  headquarters  in  New  York  City 
has  been  invited  by  the  San  Francisco 
Chamber  of  Commerce  to  hold  its  1925 
convention  in  San  Francisco.  In  a 
letter  received  by  Robt.  Newton  Lynch, 
vice-president  of  the  chamber,  Frank 
T.  Clifford,  president  of  the  association, 
declared  the  organization  will  meet  in 
either  Portland,  Ore.,  or  San  Francisco. 
An  announcement  will  be  made  shortly 
as  to  which  city  receives  the  honor. 


In  accordance  with  its  policy  of  fur- 
nishing a  guarantee  to  the  public  that 
the  work  of  its  members  will  be  prop- 
erly performed  the  Master  Plumbers' 
Association  of  Alameda  county  is  ar- 
ranging to  bond  each  of  its  members. 
This  bond  will  cover  the  various  con- 
tracts undertaken,  and  can  be  levied 
upon  in  the  event  the  plumber  is 
found  to  be  at  fault  in  his  work. 


American   Plan   Progress   is 

Reported    by   Industrial    Ass'n.

FI«.\NCISCO 

so  that  American  Plan  foundries  are 
rapidly  becoming  superior  to  any 
others  on  the  Pacific  Coast,  and  up  to 
standard  of  best  foundries  in  the  United 
States,  and  are  thereby  securing  work 
heretofore  done  elsewhere  on  the 
Pacific  Coast  and  in  the  East. 

Settled  numerous  incipient  contro- 
versies which  might  otherwise  have  led 
to  serious  industrial  strife. 

Protected  the  workers'  interests,  and 
co-operated  with  workers  by  adjusting 
their  grievances,  by  preventing  any 
discrimination  between  union  and  non- 
union men;  and  by  absolutely  enforcing 
the  eight  hour  day,  good  wages  and 
decent    working   conditions. 

Protected  the  public  interest  so 
thoroughly  that  while  building  permits 
have  steadily  increased  and  the  entire 
community  has  prospered  greatly  and 
progressed  rapidly,  strikes  have  been 
almost  wholly  eliminated.  Indeed,  San 
Francisco  went  through  the  year  1923 
without  a  single  job  or  jurisdictional 
strike  in  the  entire  building  industry; 
and  is  the  only  large  known  city  in  the 
4.nglo-Saxon  world  where  union  and 
non-union  building  trades  workers,  In 
the  same  craft,  work  side  by  side  on 
the  same  job. 

This,  in  brief,  is  the  record  of  con- 
structive accomplishment  which  the  In- 
dustrial Association  can  point  to  as  It 
concludes  the  third  year  of  its  com- 
munity endeavor.  That  it  has  rendered 
an  invaluable  service  both  to  San 
Francisco  and  the  whole  country  is  at- 
tested by  the  fact  that  its  membership 
is  constantly  increasing  and  that  it  is 
being  called  on  more  and  more  for 
counsel  and  guidance  by  industrial 
leaders  of  other  large  communities. 
For  instance:  within  the  past  year  it 
has  been  asked  by  representatives  of 
three  foreign  governments  to  furnish 
details  of  its  method  of  organization 
and  operation;  and  its  trainin»-  school 
program  has  been  adopted  by  at  least 
a  dozen  large  cities  throughout  the 
country. 


Rounding  out  the  third  year  of  its 
existance,  the  Industrial  Association  of 
San  Francisco  presents  the  following 
record  of  constructive  achievement: 

Settled  city-wide  building  trades 
strike  of  1921  by  establishing  American 
Plan  in  building  industry;  thereby 
abolishing  all  artificial  and  autocratic 
union  rules  and  regulations  curtailing 
efliciency  and  limiting  output;  includ- 
ing rules  and  regulations  rigidly  re- 
stricting admission  of  apprentices  to 
the  several   building  trades. 

Provided  impartial  machinery  for 
establishing  wages  in  building  trades, 
and  enforcement  of  wages  thus  estab- 
lished. 

Maintained  free  trade  schools  for 
plasterers,  plumbers,  painters,  paper- 
hangers,  bricklayers,  tailors,  molders, 
tilesetters  and  housesmiths;  from 
which  liave  been  graduated  some  1,000 
apprentices  and  in  which  approximate- 
ly VOO  are  still  taking  training. 

Effectuated  American  Plan  in  whole 
or  in  part  in  the  following  (in  addition 
to  the  building  industry)  industries: 
Lithographic,  cigar,  shoe,  garment,  taxi- 
cab,  metal,  warehouse,  glass,  lumber, 
hotel   and   restaurant,   and   candy. 

Effected  a  plan  of  employment  in- 
surance, by  means  of  which  it  has  been 
possible  for  the  first  time  to  offer  to 
building  trades  workers  group  insur- 
ance at  rates  of  60  to  80%  less  than 
ordinary  insurance  could  be  purchased, 
and  under  which  thousands  of  building 
trades  workers  have  secured  policies 
covering  death   and   total   disability. 

Established  a  safety  service  to  sup- 
plement safety  inspection  by  the  state 
and  municipality;  to  the  end  that  the 
hazards  of  industry  may  be  reduced  to 
the   smallest   possible  minimum. 

Maintained  a  free  employment  bureau 
which  has  placed  more  than  20,000  men 
and  furnished  help  in  all  lines  with  no 
expense  either  to  employers  or  em- 
ployes. 

Effected  a  comprehensive  improve- 
ment   program    for   foundry   operations. 


^VHO    O-tVNS    THE  WATER? 


PACIFIC    N.   W.   LtlSIBBR   TRADE 


One  of  the  most  expensive  and  bit- 
terly contested  series  of  water  law- 
suits in  Utah  finally  grew  out  of  a 
case  involving  a  stream  of  water  that 
failed;  even  distant  hydroelectric 
companies,  the  Salt  Lake  City  corpora- 
tion, the  State  of  Utah,  and  the  United 
States  Government  taking  a  so-called 
friendly  hand  because  of  the  dangerous 
precedent  that  might  be  established  in 
a  decision.  The  controversy,  not  yet 
settled,  revolves  to  a  large  extent 
around  precipitation  records  of  the 
Weather  Bureau  of  the  United  States 
Department  of  Agriculture.  A  mining 
company  developed  a  goodly  stream  ot 
water  in  its  underground  workings,  and 
simultaneously  a  mountain  stream  near 
by,  used  for  irrigation,  failed  ap- 
preciably. The  miners  sought  to  re- 
tain ownership  to  the  water  and  to 
establish  the  fact  that  dry  weather  had 
caused  the  Irrigation  stream  to 
dwindle.  Was  the  tunnel  flow  de- 
veloped at  the  expense  of  the  natural 
stream  discharge  or  are  these  phenom- 
ena masked  by  a  fluctuating  precipita- 
tion? 


Lumber  production  in  Western 
Washington  and  Oregon  for  the  first 
six  months  of  this  year  was  3.06  per 
cent  less  than  for  the  same  period  in 
1923,  according  to  reports  issued  by  the 
West  Coast  Lumbermen's  Association, 
which  said  that  sales  have  been  9.97 
per  cent  less  than  in  1923,  and  ship- 
ments f.l6  per  cent  lower  than  the 
same   period   last   year. 

One  hundred  and  fifty-six  lumber 
mills  in  Washington  reported  an  in- 
creased lumber  cut  of  more  than  14% 
per  cent  in  1923  over  the  preceding 
year,  according  to  figures  compiled  by 
the  Census  Bureau,  in  collaboration 
with  the  Forest  Service,  received  by  the 
Seattle  Chamber  of  Commerce. 

The  average  national  increase  in 
lumber  cut  in  1923  was  nearly  14  per 
cent  greater  than  1922,  said  reports 
from  733   mil-Is. 

Forty-five  mills  in  Califoraia  re- 
ported an  increase  of  nearly  22  per 
cent;  ten  in  Idaho,  a  gain  of  33%  per 
cent;  seventy-six  in  Oregon,  29 Vi  per 
cent,  and  Louisiana  and  Missouri  the 
only  States  to  report  a  decrease.

KXTRA     GA.S     TAX     FOR     HIGHWAYS 
IS     CO;VTEMPl,ATED 


Practically  unanimous  sentiment  In 
favor  of  jumping  the  California  state 
gasoline  tax  to  3  cents  a  gallon  to 
finance  future  road  work  has  been 
found  by  Governor  Richardson's  special 
committee  investigating  the  state  high- 
way system. 

In  every  county  visited,  the  com- 
mittee found  opposition  to  additional 
bond  issues  for  road  purposes.  The 
committee  will  recommend  against  the 
bond  issue  system  of  financing  high- 
way work,  Geo.  Radcliff,  a  member  of 
the  committee  declares. 

The  plan  under  consideration  con- 
templates that  the  entire  proceeds  of 
the  additional  cent  gasoline  tax  shall 
go  to  the  state  for  new  construction 
purposes,  the  other  two  cents  being 
split  between  the  state  and  counties  at 
at   present   for   maintenance   purposes. 

The  additional  cent  and  possibly 
doubling  of  the  flat  $3  license  fee  is  ex- 
pected to  raise  $10,000,000  annually  for 
construction    purposes. 


Engineers  who  have  been  experi- 
menting with  various  materials  for 
use  in  making  pipe  joints  in  concrete 
and  terra  cotta  sewer  pipes  have  found 
that  asphalt  makes  an  ideal  pipe  joint 
where  dry,  shifting  ground,  wet  trench 
conditions,  unstable  or  quicksand  con- 
ditions exist. 

At  one  time  Portland  cement  'was 
used  almost  exclusively  for  making 
joints  in  sewer  pipes.  Recent  investi- 
gations have  shown  that  while  this  ma- 
terial makes  a  watertight  joint  under 
normal  conditions,  the  concrete  cracks 
causing  openings  at  the  joints  when 
the  sewer  pipes  are  subjected  to  the 
least  settlement. 

On  the  other  hand,  an  asphalt  pipe 
joint  is  flexible  and  will  remain  tight 
in  spite  of  a  several  inch  settlement  in 
sewer  pipes  with  the  result  that  in- 
filtration of  ground  water  into  sewers 
during  wet  seasons  is  prevented. 
Watertight  joints  also  prevent  fine 
roots  of  trees  from  penetrating  and 
forcing   their   way   into   sewer   pipes. 


Winter   Month   Building   is 

Urged   By   Secretary   of   Commerce 


Lengthening  the  building  season  in 
the  United  States  to  include  the  winter 
months,  is  advocated  by  Secretary  of 
Commerce  Herbert  Hoover,  as  a  means 
of  mitigating  seasonal  ups  and  downs 
in  the  construction  industry,  of  stabi- 
lizing employment  in  the  building 
trades  and  lowering  costs  of  production 
and  building. 

.Secretary  Hoover's  statement  based 
on,  and  supplemental  to,  the  report  and 
recommendations  of  'the  Committee  on 
Seasonal  Operation  in  the  Construction 
Industries,  appointed  by  him  as  an 
outgrowth  of  the  President's  Confer- 
ence on  Unemployment,  called  in  1921, 
urges  elimination  of  wastes  caused  by 
seasonal  idleness  through  development 
of  information  as  to  probable  future 
demands  for  labor  and  materials  and 
the  development  of  the  habit  of  schedu- 
ling construction  and  repair  work  with 
reference  to  the  demand.  He  reiterates 
the  Committee's  fljiding  that  custom 
rather  than  bad  weather  is  responsible 
for  building  trades  workers  in  most 
American  cities  working  less  than 
three-quarters  of  the  year. 

Calling  construction  the  balance 
wheel  of  American  industry,  and  plac- 
ing the  value  of  yearly  construction  in 
the  United  States  at  more  than  five 
billion  dollars  and  the  number  of 
workers  engaged  in  construction  and 
manufacturing  industries  allied  to 
building  as  mounting  into  the  millions. 
Secretary  Hoover  declares  activity  in 
construction  bears  a  close  relation  to 
general  industrial  conditions  and  that 
irregularity  in  the  ebb  and  flow  in  de- 
mand for  construction  seasonally  to  a 
large  degree  affects  economic  stability. 
In  his  foreword  to  the  report,  Sec- 
retary Hoover  said;: 

"The  need  to  eliminate  the  wastes  of 
seasonal  idleness  has  been  brought 
forcibly  to  the  attention  of  the  con- 
struction industry  and  the  public  by 
reason  of  high  labor  costs  and  the  fail- 
ure of  the  building  trades  to  attract 
young  men  to  their  ranks."  Prescrib- 
ing a  remedy  he  declares:  "Lengthen- 
ing the  building  season  will  mean 
greater  production  from  the  men  now 
engaged  in  the  building  trades  and 
will  also  go  far  to  attract  capable 
apprentices." 

Secretary  Hoover  outlined  the  danger 
of  seasonal  instability  in  building, 
stating  that  :  "It  building  falls  off, 
there  is  bound  to  be  a  slackening  in 
many  other  lines  of  industry,  resulting 
in  unemployment,  decreased  purchasing 
power  of  employees,  and  further  de- 
pression." 

He  cited  the  need  of  organized  com- 
munity effort  by  representatives  of 
the  construction  industries,  the  profes- 
sions concerned  and  the  public  to  find 
the  facts  as  to  local  handicaps,  peaks 
and  depressions  of  employment  and 
kinds  of  construction  needed  for  elimi- 
nation of  wasteful  customs.  He  urged 
public  works  as  especially  well  adapted 
for  scheduling  with  reference  to  sea- 
sonal as  well  as  cyclical  conditions, 
contending  that  efforts  to  encourage 
long-range  planning  of  public  works 
deserve  support  of  the  public,  legisla- 
tors and  public  officials. 

Explaining  that  remedy  does  not  lie 
in  any  form  of  government  regulation, 
the  functions  of  the  Committee  are  de- 
fined as  having  been  to  determine  facts 
and  "to  point  a  remedy  that  is  con- 
sonant with  our  national  conception  of 
individual  and  community  initiative." 
"The    service    rendered    to    our    whole 


economic  life  by  the  elimination  of 
these  gigantic  wastes  and  the  conscious 
planning  to  overcome  these  irregu- 
larities, the  improved  conditions  of 
labor,  which  is  possible  not  only  in 
actual  construction  but  in  the  material 
manufacturing  Industries,  the  lowered 
costs  of  production  and  of  building 
which  could  result  therefrom,  are 
great  warranty  for  such  co-operation," 
Secretary  Hoover  concluded. 

The  report  sets  forth  that  many  sea- 
sonal ups  and  downs  are  preventable, 
that  the  past  winter  showed  greater 
activity  than  ever  before  in  what  had 
been  normally  a  dull  season  and  this 
winter  activity  exerted  a  stimulating 
effect  on  building-material  producer- 
and  transportation  comjianies  and  theii 
employees.  The  report  related  that  con- 
struction coinpanies  are  awake  to  pos- 
sibilities of  winter  activity  and  deserv. 
the  support  and  co-operation  of  th. 
building  public.  It  is  explained  thf 
ups  and  downs  place  the  heaviest  bui - 
den  on  the  employees  and  the  pul>lic. 

Bad  weather  effects  on  building  hav. 
been  greatly  reduced,  according  to  lh( 
report,  which  further  holds  that  "with 
due  precautions  and  proper  equipment 
nearly  all  construction  work  can  b. 
carried  on  in  winter  and  at  no  gre:i 
difference    in    cost." 

"As  the  methods  of  handlnig  winter 
wi>rk  develop,  and  as  manufacturers, 
supply  dealers  and  labor  take  more  in- 
terest in  encouraging  winter  work. 
I  be  cost  can  be  appreciably  reduced." 
the   Committee  found. 

The  report  explains  that  bankers  may 
aid  in  cutting  down  the  waste  in  con- 
struction costs  by  applying  a  wider 
knowledge,  now  available,  of  data  re- 
garding characteristic  trends  in  the 
cim.struction   industries. 

"Forethought  in  planning  ahead  and 
use  of  information  as  to  the  sea.sonal 
trends  will  reduce  interest  on  invest- 
inents  and  will  release  investment 
funds  for  other  productive  uses,"  it  is 
explained  in  this  relation.  "Trustees 
and  others  charged  with  large  financial 
responsibilities  have  an  opportunity 
and  a  responsibility  for  cutting  down 
the  present  wastes." 

Regarding   public    utilities,    it   is   ad-   . 
vised    that    the    single   leasing   date    be 
attacked  as  a  demoralizing  influence  on 
seasonal  currents  of  construction. 

"Evidence  is  lacking,"  according  to 
the  report  that  "public  utilities  in  gen- 
eral authorize  the  erection  of  buildings 
at  other  times  than  the  usual  building 
season,"  and  "they  might  well  set  up 
'expansion  reserves'  as  a  practical  and 
profitable  means  for  constructing  ad- 
ditions during  low  seasonal  and  cyclical 
periods." 

The  Committee  in  its  report  states 
that  out  of  200  engineers  in  all  parts 
of  the  country  who  replied  to  the  Com- 
mittee's questions  "Are  public  improve- 
ments rushed  right  along  in  the  peaks 
of  the  annual  building  season?"  one 
hundred  ninety-two  answered  in  the 
aflirmative  and  the  comment  was 
frankly  added  that  public  works  are 
undertaken  without  regard  to  private 
needs. 

^The  committee  is  of  the  opinion  that 
the  need  for  public  works  is  easily 
foreseen  and  that  public  officials  re- 
sponsible be  given  every  aid  so  that 
they  can  let  public  works  contracts 
when  the  work  can  be  performed 
economically  and  with  least  interfer- 
ence  with   private   construction. 


THE    TRUTH    HURTS 


Mr.  Smith  was  a  hard-hearted 
Contractor.  One  day  one  of  his  asso 
elates  started  twitting  him  about  : 
de-al    that   he   had   been   concerned    in. 

"They're      telling     all   kinds      of   lie; 


Id 


about  you.  Smith,"  said  the  informant. 
"What  are  you  going  to  do  about  it'.'" 
"Do?"  he  replied  coolly,  "I'm  going 
to  do  nothing.  I  don't  care  how  many 
lies  they  tell  about  me;  it's  the  truth 
I'm  frightened  of." — Pittsburgh  Chron-

The  Douglas  Fir  Exploitation  and 
Export  Company  has  been  exonerated 
by  the  Federal  Trade  Commission  at 
Washington  of  charges  of  attempting 
to  monopolize  the  lumber  export  busi- 
ness of  the  Pacific  Coast.  The  com- 
mission, in  announcing  its  decision,  ac- 
cording to  Associated  Press  dispatches, 
dismissed  the  case  without  prejudice 
because  the  ciiarges  filed  against  the 
company  could  not  be  substantiated. 
The  Douglas  Fir  Exploitation  and  Ex- 
port Company  represents  100  sawmills 
In  Oregon  and  Washington,  handling 
their  products  for  export  trade  ex- 
clusively. The  company  does  business 
under  the  Webb-Palmer  law  and  none 
of  its  products  enter  the  domestic 
trade. 


Demand   For  U.  S.  Electrical  Equipment 


Exportation  of  $70,000,000  worth  of 
electrical  machinery  and  apparatus  in 
the  fiscal  year  1924  against  $25,000,000 
in  1914  and  $10,000,000  in  1904  lllus- 
tralos  the  rapid  increase  in  world  use 
of  our  electrical  apparatus  of  every 
day  requirements  of  man  the  world 
over.  American  electric  fans  are  buz- 
zing in  the  tropics  the  world  around; 
American  cooking  and  heating  devices 
are  minimizing  the  duties  of  the  home 
from  the  equator  to  the  artics;  Ameri- 
can lamps  are  lighting  the  cities  and 
villages  and  homes  in  the  most  dis- 
tant countries  and  colonies  of  the 
world,  and  our  motor  driven  house- 
hold devices  are  lightening  the  cares  of 
the  housewife  from  the  Occident  to  the 
orient  and  from  the  far  north  to  the 
most  distant  south. 

Just  a  few  illustrations,  says  the 
Trade  Record  of  The  National  City 
Rank  of  New  York,  will  show  the  ex- 
tent to  which  the  world  is  giving 
recognition  to  the  ingenuity  of  the 
American  inventor  and  the  integrity  of 
the  American  manufacturer  whose  ma- 
chinery is  accepted  on  the  opposite  side 
of  the  globe  with  a  full  confidence  of 
its  qualities.  Take  the  electric  fan 
for  example,  which  has  just  made  its 
"highest  record"  in  cooling  the  fevered 
brows  of  the  assembled  politicians  of 
the  United  States;  we  sold  nearly  a 
million  dollars  worth  of  them  to  other 
lands  for  like  purposes  in  the  fiscal 
year  just  ended,  sending  them  not  only 
to  every  corner  of  the  tropics  but  to 
all  sections  of  the  inhabited  world,  in- 
cluding Finland  and  Yukon  at  the 
north  and  the  southern  tip  of  Africa 
at  the  south.  The  housewives  of  all 
parts  of  the  globe  are  demanding 
American    motor-driven    household    de- 


vices to  the  tune  of  nearly  a  million 
dollars  a  year,  and  they  went  in  the 
latest  year  for  which  details  are 
available  to  practically  all  the  coun- 
tries of  the  world,  to  our  next  door 
neighbor  at  the  north,  Canada,  to 
practically  all  our  Latin  American 
neighbors  at  the  south,  and  to  India, 
Ceylon,  China,  Japan,  Hongkong, 
Kwangtung,  Australia,  New  Zeland. 
Egp.vt  and  South  Africa.  Electrical 
cooking  and  heating  apparatus  are 
also  in  demand  in  the  households  the 
world  over,  and  the  latest  record  in- 
dicates that  a  million  dollars  worth 
were  exported  in  the  year  just  ended, 
going  to  70  different  countries  extend- 
ing the  world  over.  The  5V4  million  elec- 
tric lamps  exported  light  cities  and 
villages  and  homes  in  not  only  all  the 
grand  divisions  but  in  the  smallest  and 
most  distant  islands  of  the  Pacific 
and  Indian  Oceans. 

Of  course  the  demand  for  radio  and 
wireless  apparatus  comes  in  increasing 
intensity  and  from  every  country  of  the 
globe,  and  the  $4,000,000  worth  sent 
out  of  the  country  in  the  fiscal  year 
1924  went  to  60  countries  including  the 
Azores,  Iceland,  Honduras,  Java,  India, 
Straits  Settlements,  China,  Hongkonk, 
the  Philippine  Islands  and  Siam.  The 
doctors  of  the  world  around  are  showing 
their  appreciation  of  American  thera- 
peutic apparatus  and  x-ray  machines 
and  took  a  million  dollars  worth  in  the 
year  just   ended. 

The  number  of  countries,  colonies, 
protectorates  and  mandated  territories 
to  whicli  our  electrical  devices  were 
sent  in  1922,  the  latest  year  for  which 
oflicial  details  are  available,  was  109, 
distributed  over  the  entire  inhabitated 
world.

SACRAMENTO     C;iTY     PLANNING 
BOARD    RESIGNS 

Five  members  of  the  Sacramento 
City  Planning  Commission  have  ten- 
deied  their  resignations  to  the  city 
council  asking  that  they  be  made  ef- 
fective immediately.  The  commission- 
ers declared  their  labors  were  in  vain, 
in  as  much,  as  the  city  council  reject- 
ed eighteen  of  twenty-four  recommen- 
dations submitted  during  the  five 
months  of  its  career. 

The  city  council,  according  to  re- 
ports, instead  of  accepting  the  resigna- 
tions, will,  at  its  next  meeting,  author- 
ize the  preparation  of  an  ordinance  re- 
pealing the  present  ordinance  which 
creates  the  planning  commission.  The 
ordinance  will  be  recommended,  it  is 
said,  by  C.  H.  S.  Bidwell,  councilman, 
who  asserts  that  "a  planning  commis- 
sion  is   useless." 


QUESTIONNAIRE  RETURN   DEMAND- 
ED  BY   HIGHWAY   DEPARTMENT 


Reserve  the  date,  Thursday,  July  31, 
Hospital  Inspection  Trip  and  Barbecue, 
Uvennore. 


Efforts  of  the  highway  division  of 
the  Rocky  Monntain  branch  of  the  As- 
sociated General  Contractors  recently 
resulted  in  having  a  questionnaire 
adopted  by  the  highway  department  of 
Colorado  as  part  of  proposals  for  work. 
This  questionnaire  requires  the  con- 
tractor to  state  his  financial  condition, 
experience  and  equipment  available 
for  the  job.  When  this  questionnaire 
was  first  inaugurated  some  of  the  con- 
tractors could  not  see  the  feasibility  of 
filling  it  out  as  requested  by  the  high- 
way department.  One  contractor  re- 
fused to  fill  out  the  questionnaire  as 
requested,  but  used  sarcastic  answers 
to  the  questions  asked,  and  for  so  doing 
the  highway  department  disqualified 
him  and  awarded  the  contract  to  the 
next  lowest  bidder.  On  another  oc- 
casion a  contractor  put  in  his  bid 
without  making  any  reference  to  the 
questionnaire  and  this  bid  was  thrown 
out.

ScHiAGE  huKon  Locks  are  finding  widespread  favor 
among  apartment  house  builders  and  architects.  And  it 
is  easy  to  see  why.  The  shrewd  apartment  house  owner 
knows  he  can  make  a  big  impression  on  his  tenants  witli 
these  remarkable  locks — their  quick,  snappy  action,  their 
srniple  dignity,  their  wonderful  convenience.  They  are 
a  show  feature,  a  talking  point.  They  are  one  of  those 
convmcing  improvements  that  make  a  tenant  feel  he  is 
lucky  to  get  such  an  apartment.  Thus  they  make  it  easier 
to  rent  at  a  profitable  figure  and  to  a  preferred  class  of 
tenants,  adding  value  to  the  building,  profit  to  the  owner, 
and  satisfaction  to  the  tenant. 

A  compression-spring  unit-rype  lock  instilled  in  lo  minutes.  No  ad'

The  National  Hcsearch  Council, 
through  Us  Advisory  Board  on  High- 
way Research,  has  recently  Issued  as 
Bulletin  45,  a  unique  report  on  "Mini- 
mum Specifications  for  Highway  Engi- 
neering Positions."  The  report  was 
lirepared  by  a  special  committee  ap- 
pointed by  the  American  Association  of 
Engineers.  This  committee,  with  Mr. 
A.  B.'.Mcnanlel  as  Chairman,  has  had 
the  oflicial  co-operation  of  the  United 
States  Bureau  of  Public  Roads  and  of 
several  State  Highway  Commissions 
and   Municipal   Bureaus. 

The  report  lists  the  essential  quali- 
fications for  the  filling  of  17  typical 
highway  engineering  positions.  It  also 
presents  a  series  of  117  actual  prob- 
lems which  have  arisen  in  the  every- 
day work  involved  in  carrying  out  the 
duties  of  the  various  positions.  The 
solutions  used  are  given  in  some  in- 
stances and  are  available  for  all  the 
problems. 

This  report  will  be  of  particular 
value  to  those  who  teach  young  engi- 
neers, who  employ  the  services  of  high- 
way engineers  or  who  are  in  any  way 
charged  with  the  administration  of 
highway  engineering  organizations.  It 
is  intended  to  be  of  practical  service 
to  those  concerned  with  the  proper 
selection,  assignment,  promotion,  trans- 
fer or  training  of  highway  engineers. 

This  book  of  105  pages  with  32  line- 
cuts  and  numerous  tables  may  be  ob- 
tained from  the  Washington  Oflice  of 
the  National  Research  Council  for  $1.00. 


H.  C.  Duell,.  construction  engineer,  is 
to  be  employed  by  the  Oakland  Board  of 
Education  to  aid  in  settling  the 
squabble  over  alleged  faults  in  the 
construction  of  the  Roosevelt  and  Mc- 
Clymonds  school  buildings.  This  wf-s 
decided  at  a  recent  board  meeting  with 
Fred  Campbell  and  Georgia  Ormsby. 
directors,  casting  dissenting  votes.  In 
opposing  the  action,  Campbell  and  Mrs. 
Ormsby  asserted  that  the  board  has 
its  own  engineer  for  such  work  and  if 
outside  consulative  advice  is  considered 
necessary,  Wilfred  N.  Ball,  ex-superin- 
tendent of  construction,  should  be  ap- 
pointed. 

The  appointment  of  DucU  is  the  re- 
sult of  the  grand  jury  investigation. 
President  Hatch  stating  that  the  co- 
operation of  the  board  was  asked. 
Campbell  complained  that  a  direct  re- 
quest had  not  been  received  from  the 
grand  jury  in  the  form  of  an  offiL-i.Tl 
communication.

NA.MED     AITO.MOBILE     ASS'N. 
DIRECTOR 


W.  T.  Sesnon  of  San  Francisco,  presi- 
dent of  the  California  State  Automobile 
.\ssoclatlon  and  P.  J.  Walker  of  Oak- 
land, director  and  former  president  of 
the  Association  were  elected  directors 
of  the  American  Automobile  Associa- 
tion at  its  annual  convention  in  De- 
troit last  week,  according  to  an  an- 
nouncement made  in  San  Franicsoo. 
Walker  was  also  named  a  vice-presi- 
dent of  the  A.  A.  A.,  a  position  he  has 
held   for  many   years. 

Sesnon  is  president  of  the  Federal 
Reserve  Bank  and  a  prominent  San 
Francisco  capitalist.  Walker  is  a 
prominent  building  contractor  of  San 
Francisco.  Both  men  have  been  active 
for  many  years  in  directing  the  ac- 
tivities of  the  California  State  Automo- 
bile Association  which  is  now  the 
largest  of  almost  1,000  automobile  clubs 
affiliated  with  the  American  Automo- 
bile Association. 


GERMANS       USE    SLAG      FROTH      TO 
MAKE    BRICK 


German  industrialists  have  succeeded 
in  making  a  good  quality  of  brick  from 
slag  froth,  which  until  lately  was  con- 
sidered absolute  waste.  The  develop- 
ment especially  of  heat  insulating 
brick  from  this  material  is  considered 
somewhat  of  a  triumph  in  German  en- 
gineering circles. 

The  froth  from  the  slag,  after  it  has 
been  blown,  first  is  passed  between 
water-cooled  rollers,  and  then  is 
molded  to  the  desired  shape.  The  pro- 
duct that  results  is  in  high  degree  heat 
insulating,  and  also  is  impermeable.  It 
is  expected  that  large  scale  production 
will  be  established  as  soon  as  the  man- 
ufacturing process  has  been  stand- 
ardized. 


SOME  ORDERS 


Trade  was  bad  with  the  lumber  mer- 
chant and  so,  as  he  sat  brooding  in 
his  office  one  morning,  wondering  how 
he  was  going  to  pay  the  rent,  he  was 
delighted  to  welcome  a  quiet  looking 
young  man  who  entered  and  inquired: 

"Do   you   sell    beech    wood?" 

"Yes,  sir,"  replied  the  merchant,  with 
alacrity.  "We  can  supply  it  in  any 
quantity.     In   logs  or  otherwise." 

"Oh,  I  don't  want  so  much  as  that," 
replied  the  young  man.  "I  just  want  a 
bit  for  a  violin  bridge." — Everybody's. 


COSTLY   REPAIRS 


"This  fellow  Skinem  tried  to  tell  me 
that  he  has  lived  in  one  house  for 
twelve  years  and  has  never  paid  a  cent 
for  repairs,"  said  Emith.  "Do  you  be- 
lieve that?"

When  materials  have  passed  through  mixing  process 
once,  and  come  to  discharging  side  of  the  dnim, 
the  reversed  discharge  chute  sprays  them  back  to 
the  charging  side  for  repeated  trips  through  the  5- 
action,  remixing  process.  This  spraying-showering 
action,  at  the  same  time  prevents  separation  of  aggre- 
gate according  to  size.  To  the  last  shovelful  of  every 
batch,  Koehring-mixed  concrete  is  uniform,  re-mixed

KLAMATH     DAM     CONSTRUCTION     IS 
!  HELD  LEGAL 


I  "The  Electro-Metals  Company  of  San 
I  Francisco  has  the  legal  right  to  pro- 
j  ceed  with  the  construction  of  dams  on 
;  the  Klamath  river  so  far  as  I  know," 
'  says  Edwin  Hyatt,  Jr.,  acting  chief  of 
I  the  state  division  of  water  rights. 

Hyatt  gave  his  opinion  when  shown 
statements  made  by  Frank  M.  Newbert 
and  R.  B.  Duke,  president  and  attorney, 
'  respectively,  of  the  state  fish  and 
I  game  commission,  that  the  preliminary 
I  permit  recently  granted  to  the  San 
j  Francisco  company  by  the  federal 
power  commission  would  not  alter  the 
status  of  the  Klamath  river  contro- 
i  versy  because  the  company  did  not 
!have  any  water  rights  on  the  river. 
I  "The  State  Division  of  Water  Rights 
I  has  issued  permits  to  the  Eleotro- 
iMetals  Company  to  divert  water  from 
jthe  Klamath  and  build  dams  on  the 
]  river,"  Hyatt  said,  "and  I  don't  see,  nor 
I  does  the  attorney  for  the  division,  that 
ithe  suits  brought  by  the  game  com- 
Imission  to  invalidate  the  permits  have 
•  yet  taken  the  company's  rights  away 
,lfrom   them. 

'  "The  permit  of  the  federal  power 
fCommission  is  not  a  permit  to  divert 
Iwater  or  build  dams,  but  a  permit  to 
'use  the  United  States  lands  through 
jwhich  the  river  flows.  It  was  neces- 
'sary  for  the  company  to  obtain  this 
Ipermit,  but  it  already  had  its  water 
rights  so  far  as  the  division  of  water 
■rights  is  concerned.  It  is  up  to  the 
I  Electro-Metals  Company  to  decide 
(Whether  it  will  go  ahead  with  con- 
Istruction  work  before  the  people  of  the 
(state  vote  next  November  on  the  initia- 
tive measure  to  prohibit  the  building 
of  dams  on  the  Klamath." 


.V.MERICA.V   IXSTITITE  TO  FE.\Tl!RE 
EXPO.SITIOX   OF  INVENTIONS 


Handlers  of  building  materials,  con- 
struction engineers  and  others  in  the 
building  world  whose  activities  touch 
in  any  way  on  the  fertile  field  of  inven- 
tions will  be  interested  in  learning  of 
the  Expositio;i  of  Inventions  to  be 
held.  December  8lh  to  13th  inclusive, 
in  the  famous  Engineering  Societies 
Building,  New  York  City.  The  Ameri- 
can Institute  of  the  City  of  New  York 
is  handling  this  display  through  its 
Inventor's  Section,  with  behind  it  an 
experience  of  ninety-six  years  in 
fostering  and  portraying  American  in- 
dustrial life. 

A  feature  of  the  Exposition  will  be 
exhibits  from  the  leading  American  in- 
dustries showing  developments  of 
various  machines,  utilities  and  process- 
ing methods.  In  all  field  the  ingenu- 
ity of  the  inventor  and  the  part  he  has 
played  in  the  progress  of  America  will 
be  emphasized. 

In  this  display  of  American  inven- 
tions the  American  Institute  will  be 
continuing  with  a  new  emphasis  al- 
most a  century's  encouragement  of  in- 
ventors and  introduction  of  their 
works  to  the  public.  Among  inven- 
tions now  used  throughout  the  world 
that  were  first  displayed  to  the  pub- 
lic at  earlier  AU-American  fairs  of  the 
Institute  are  the  Morse  telepragh,  the 
Hot  lightening  printing  press,  the  Mc- 
Cormick  reaper,  the  Howe  sewing  ma- 
chine, the  Bell  telephone,  the  Colt  re- 
volver, the  Francis  metallic  life  boat, 
and  many  others. 

The  American  Institute  also  estab- 
lished the  first  permanent  exhibit — an 
idea  later  adopted  in  various  indus- 
tries— where  "machines,  models,  speci- 
mens and  drawings"  ^vere  displayed 
to  the  public.  Great  annual  fairs  of  the 
Institute,  begun  in  1828  and  held  at 
such  widely  known  places  in  their 
times  as  Niblo's  Garden,  Castle  Garden, 
Crystal  Palace,  Palace  Garden,  the 
Academy  of  Music  and  Madison  Square 
Garden,  in  New  York  City,  portrayed 
year  after  year  the  advancements  in 
agriculture,  commerce,  manufacturers, 
science  and  the  arts  until,  with  the 
expansion  of  the  country's  business  in 
the  last  quarter  century,  the  idea  de- 
veloped into  the  more  famous  world 
fairs  and  national  and  international 
industrial  expositions  under  various 
auspices   and   managements. 

Arangements  for  the  display  of  work- 
ing models  or  actual  devices  at  the  Ex- 
position of  Inventions  can  be  arranged 
through  a  Committee  of  the  American 
Institute  at  47  West  34  Street,  New 
York  City.  All  proposed  displays  are 
subject  to  approval  by  the  Institute,  it 
being  the  desire  to  show  only  those 
things  of  sound  worth. 


F.  Rolandi  on  a  bid  of  $1,447,681  has 
been  awarded  a  contract  by  the  Merced 
Irrigation  District  to  relocate  approxi- 
mately seventeen  miles  of  the  Yosemite 
Valley  Railroad  at  the  site  of  the  pro- 
posed Exchequer  Dam.  The  railroad 
contract  involves  approximately  925,000 
cubic  yards  of  excavation,  mostly  in 
rock. 

Bent  Brothers  of  Los  Angeles,  bid- 
ding $2,452,079,  the  district  to  furnish 
the  necessary  cement,  were  awarded 
the  contract  to  construct  the  Exche- 
quer Dam   and  power  house. 


TESTS  SHOW  WHY  ENAMELED  IRON 
WARE     WARPS 


The  Bureau  of  Standards  find  that 
enameled  iron  ware  is  much  more 
likely  to  warp  if  the  iron  and  enamel 
have  different  rates  of  thermal  ex- 
pansion than  if  they  expand  and  con- 
tract at  the  same  rate.  Tests  made  at 
the  bureau  have  also  shown  that  warp- 
ing is  less  likely  to  occur  if  the  grease 
is  burned  off  than  if  it  is  taken  off 
with  chemicals,  and  that  warping  is 
apt  to  result  from  sudden,  irregular 
cooling  or  from  failure  to  support  the 
ware  properly  in  firing.  Thin  metal  is 
found  to  warp  more  easily  than  thick, 
but  is  more  easily  straightened. 

The  enamel  used  on  such  ware  has 
for  its  chief  ingredient  a  form  of  glass 
that  is  finely  ground  and  mixed  with 
other  materials  to  form  a  paste  which 
is  applied  to  the  surface  of  the  metal, 
dried  and  fired.  The  firing  causes  the 
glass  to  melt  and  adhere  to  the  metal, 
while  the  other  ingredients  are  dis- 
solved in  it.  Warping  sometimes  oc- 
curs when  fhe  ware  is  cooled  to  room 
temperature  after  firing. 


POWER       IN    BASINS    OF      NEHAI.E1H 
AND  WILSON  RIVERS,  OREGON 

An  investigation  has  recently  been 
made  by  the  U.  S.  Geological  Survey  to 
determine  the  possibility  of  develop- 
ing power  in  the  basins  of  Nehalem 
and  Wilson  rivers,  which  are  within 
easy  transmission  distance  of  Astoria 
and  Portland.  The  area  drained  by  the 
headwaters  of  Wilson  river  receives  a 
mean  annual  precipitation  of  over  130 
in.,  one  of  the  heaviest  in  the  United 
States.  Nehalem  river  basin,  not  far 
north  of  Wilson  river,  receives  a  some- 
what lower  rainfall.  No  good  reser- 
voir sites  were  found,  but  the  heavy 
precipation  sustains  well  the  low-water 
flow.  A  manuscript  copy  of  a  report  by 
Benjamin  E.  Jones  and  Warren  Oakey, 
hydraulic  engineers.  Department  of  the 
Interior,  Geological  Survey,  may  be 
consulted  at  the  office  of  the  Geolo- 
gical Survey  in  the  Interior  Depart- 
ment Building  at  Washington,  D.  C, 
or  at  the  district  office  of  the  Survey 
at  Portland,   606  Post  Office  Building. 


THE      SAFETY     OF     CONCRETE 


An  exceptional  degree  of  security 
from  destruction  of  buildings  and  loss 
of  life  from  tornado,  earthquake  and 
explosions  is  provided  by  the  rigidity 
of  concrete.  The  San  Francisco  earth- 
quake and  fire,  the  Baltimore  fire,  the 
munition  shop  explosion  in  Haliffax 
Harbor,  the  Fergus  Falls.  Minn.,  tor- 
nado, earthquakes  in  San  Domingo. 
Guatemala  and  Japan,  and  numerous 
other  examples  testify  to  the  great  re- 
sistance of  concrete  buildings  against 
destruction  or  serious  damage.  Life 
and  property  are  truly  conserved  by 
such  structures  and  their  occupants 
have  the  assurance  at  all  times  that 
they  enjoy  the  highest  measure  of  pro- 
tection against  the  destructive  forces 
of  nature. — H.  Colin  Campbell  writing 
in  Industry  Illustrated.

iMonte    Rio    is   Selected    as   Site 

For    Annual    Builders'    Day    Outing 


The  annual  "IJuiklers"  Day"  outing 
of  the  San  Francisco  Builders'  Ex- 
change will  be  held  at  Monte  Rio, 
Sonoma  County,  on  August  30,  31  and 
September  1. 

The  1924  outing  has  received  the  -of- 
ficial sanction  of  the  exchange  direc- 
tors who  have  authorized  the  expendi- 
ture of  a  handsome  appropriation  to 
assist  the  committee  in  meeting  all 
preliminary  expenses  in  connection 
with   the  affair. 

Monte  Rio  is  located  on  the  Russian 
river  about  eighty  miles  from  San 
Francisco.  It  is  proltably  the  biggest 
Summer  resort  town  on  the  river  hav- 
ing several  modern  hotels,  a  number 
of  tent  camps  and  several  cottage 
grounds. 

Efforts  will  be  made  by  the  com- 
mittee on  arrangements  to  secure 
every  possible  accommodation  to  as- 
sure the  builders  and  their  friends  ade- 
iiuate  sleeping  quarters. 

Monte  Rio,  as  a  location  for  "Build- 


ers' Day"  festivities  is  ideal,  in-as- 
much  as  swimming,  boating,  play- 
grounds and  craw  fishing  may  be  en- 
joyed. Sandy  beaches  are  in  abundance. 
Wm.  J.  Feary  of  the  Western  Lime 
&  Cement  Company,  immediately  fol- 
lowing the  selection  of  Monte  Rio  as 
the  location  for  the  outing,  was  unani- 
mously selected  chairman  of  the  Com- 
mittee on  Arrangements.  Mr.  Peary 
acted  in  the  same  capacity  during  the 
1923  outing.  Other  members  who  will 
serve  on  the  committee  include:  Steve 
I.  Guerin  of  the  J.  S.  Guerin  Company: 
Clarence  F.  Pratt  of  the  Pratt  Build- 
ing Material  Company;  Emile  Hogberg. 
brick  contractor;  Chas.  O.  Monson, 
lathing  contractor;  Art  B.  Smith  with 
Harold  Johnson,  general  contractor;

Company  will  be  secretary  of  the  com- 
mittee. 


BAY      SHORE     HIGHAVAY     ATTRACTS 
M.\NY    BIDDERS 


Sixteen  bidders  competed  when  bids 
were  opened  by  the  California  High- 
way Commission  for  the  grading  of  6.2 
miles  of  the  Bay  Shore  Highway  from 
South  San  Francisco  to  Broadway  Sta- 
tion. Contractors  were  permitted  to 
bid    on    several    alternative    methods. 

For  the  construction  of  a  grade  100 
feet  wide  by  the  suction  dredge  method, 
one  bid  was  received,  that  of  the 
George  Pollock  Company  of  Sacra- 
mento. The  Pollock  bid  was  $526,090 
against  an  engineer's  estimate  of 
$209,808. 

Four  offers  were  received  for  the 
construction  of  a  100  foot  grade  by  the 
borrow  pit  method.  The  low  bidder 
under  this  plan  was  Haas  &  Doughty 
of  San  Francisco  whose  offer  was  $202,- 
161  against  an  engineer's  estimate  of 
$119,108. 

Still  another  alternative  was  ofiered; 
that  of  making  the  fill  by  hauling  ma- 
terial from  Belle  Air  Island.  D.  A. 
Foley  &  Company  of  Los  Angeles  of- 
fered to  construct  a  100  foot  grade  by 
this  method  for  $492,960.  The  engineer's 
estimate  was  $605,908.  Seven  bids  were 
received    in    all    under    this    plan. 

The  same  firm  was  low  bidder  for  the 
construction  of  a  60  foot  grade  by  the 
same  plan.  The  bid  was  $298,610. 
against  an  engineer's  estimate  of 
$398,908.  Eight  bids  were  received  for 
the  60  foot  grade. 

For  the  construction  of  necessary 
culverts  and  other  similar  structures  of 
concrete,  the  West  Coast  Construction 
Company,  the  low  bidder,  offered  to  do 
the  work  for  $54, f  92.34.  The  engineer's 
estimate  was   $50,525. 

To  build  the  same  structures  using 
wood  instead  of  concrete.  Kaiser  Pav- 
ing Co.  of  Oakland  was  the  low  bidder 
with  an  offer  of  $39,452,  against  an 
engineer's  estimate   of  $38,173. 

The  bids  will  be  given  careful  study 
by  the  engineers  of  the  commission  be- 
fore recommendations  are  made  to  a 
meeting  of  the  highway  commission 
which  will  be  held  in  San  Francisco 
August  4th. 

In  accordance  with  an  act  of  the  1923 


legislature,  funds  for  the  construction 
of  the  unit  of  the  Bay  Shore  highway 
on  which  the  bids  were  received  are  to 
be  furnished  the  highway  commission 
by  the  City  and  County  of  San  Fran- 
cisco. 


PLUMBING  CONTRACT  ON  STOCKTON 
CITY     HALL    TIED    UP 


Stating  that  the  plumbing  contract 
for  the  new  Stockton  Memorial  Audi- 
torium was  illegally  awarded  to  the 
Stockton  Plumbing  Supply  Company, 
Mayor  Raymond  J.  Wheeler  refuses  to 
sign  the  contract,  upon  the  advice  of 
City  Attorney  J.   Leroy  Johnson. 

Johnson  alleges  that  the  contract 
which  was  awarded  to  the  Stockton 
Plumbing  Supply  Company,  when  John 
Charlesworth,  an  employe  of  the  com- 
pany, was  a  member  of  the  city  council, 
was  done  so  in  violation  of  the  city 
charter. 

Although  Charlesworth  was  absent 
from  the  meetings  at  which  the  city 
council  accepted  the  bids  of  his  firms, 
his  presence  on  the  council  was  suf- 
ficient to  make  the  awarding  of  the 
contract  to  his  firm  invalid.  Johnson 
states.  ii     • 

The  law  firm  of  Nutter.  Hancock  & 
Rutherford  announced  that  a  petition 
for  a  writ  of  mandamus  ordering  Mayor 
Wheeler  to  sign  the  contract  will  be 
filed  in  San  Francisco.  Should  the 
court  decide  that  the  contract  was 
illegally  awarded,  no  further  bid  can 
be  made  by  the  company,  it  was 
stated. 

No  delay  in  the  construction  of  the 
auditorium  is  anticipated  by  these  liti- 
gations,  the  mayor  said. 


Southern  California  Chapter.  Asso- 
ciated General  Contractors  of  America, 
is  on  record  as  opposed  to  the  practice, 
which  is  not  uncommon,  of  asking  con- 
tractors to  submit  an  excessive  number 
of  alternate  bids.  The  association 
declares  that  many  of  the  alternates 
frequently  asked  for  entail  unnecessary 
work  on  all  bidders  in  preparing  their 
estimates  and  should  be  properly  left 
to  negotiation  with  the  successful  bid- 
der.

Record    Concrete    Paving 

Program    in    Last    Six    Months 


BY     J.    C.    BOYLE 


The  expanding  use  of  the  automobile 
and  its  attendant  traffic  congestion  has 
resulted  in  establishing  a  record  for 
concrete  street  and  highway  produc- 
tion in  the  last  six  months.  Over  48,- 
000,000  square  yards  of  concrete  pave- 
ment was  placed  under  contract  be- 
tween January  1  and  July  1,  accord- 
ing to  the  Portland  Cement  Association. 
That  is  equivalent  to  4800  miles  of  18- 
foot  pavement.  The  largest  previous 
amount  contracted  for  in  a  similar 
period  was  in  1922,  when  54,000,000 
square  j'ards  were  awarded. 

The  most  notable  gains  were  as- 
counted  for  by  city  streets,  as  is 
natural,  since  it  is  in  the  cities  that 
traffic  congestion  is  greatest.  Four- 
teen million  square  yards,  equivalent  to 
800  miles  of  thirty-foot  wide  pave- 
ments, were  contracted  for  up  to  July 
1.  This  is  more  than  was  placed  in 
any  entire  year  up  to  1922,  and  two 
million  square  yards  more  than  was 
awarded  in  the  first  half  of  1923,  the 
best  previous  year. 

About  one-fourth  of  the  concrete 
street  pavement  arranged  for  this  year 
is  in  68  cities  of  100,000  population  or 
over.  New  York,  Chicago,  Baltimore. 
Milwaukee,  Detroit,  Los  Angeles,  Seat- 
tle, Atlanta,  Indianapolis,  Cincinnati, 
Kansas  City  and  other  large  centers 
now  are  engaged  on  pretentious  paving 
programs. 

On  January  1,  this  year,  about  5800 
miles  of  concrete  street  averaging  30 
feet  in  width  were  under  traffic  and 
contractors  carried  over  from  1923,  400 
miles  which  had  been  contracted  for 
but  not  laid.  When  all  the  contracts 
now  signed  have  been  completed  there 
will  be  about  7000  miles  of  concrete 
citv   streets   in    this   country. 

There  were  25.627  miles  of  concrete 
highways  averaging  18  feet  wide  in  use 
at  the  beginning  of  the  year,  and  2500 
miles      which  ,    when      completed,    will 


Dalziel-Moller  Company,  wholesale

plans  prepared  for  a  two-story  rein- 
forced concrete  plant  to  be  erected  in

Sts.,  San  Francisco.

make  the  grand  total  of  concrete  high- 
ways well  above  30.000  miles. 

The  activity  which  will  prevail  in 
road  construction  during  the  remalndei 
of  the  year  can  only  be-  estimated,  but 
there  has  been  some  falling  oft  Ir 
building  construction  and  this,  with  th< 
release  of  labor  from  some  other  in- 
dustries and  its  absorption  by  highwaj 
construction  is  having  a  tendency  to 
ward  lower  costs.  Public  improvemi  ■ 
bonds  now  are  bringing  better  retur 
and  being  more  readily  absorbed  by  ii 
vestors,  and  altogether  the  prospect  i 
bright  for  continued  activity  in  roai 
work. 

Cement  prices  have  been  faily  stabh 
and  there  is  evidence  of  a  tendency  f 
remain  so.  Since  all  Portland  Cemen 
Is  made  under  a  standard  governmen 
specification,  competition  and  demaiw 
and  supply  are  the  prime  factors  in  fix 
ing  prices  in  any  individual  locality 
Cement  mills  must  dispose  of  thci 
output  steadily  in  order  to  operate  sue 
cessfully. 

A  slackening  of  demand  in  any  sec 
tion  has  a  tendency  to  bring  a  cut  i; 
quotations  by  those  concerns  best  abl 
or  most  an.sious  to  supply  that  territor> 
Their  competitors  then  must  meet  sucl 
a  cut  or  abandon  that  territory,  sine 
price  on  a  standard-made  product  i 
the  controlling  influence  with  th 
buyer.  A  continuing  demand  for  roa^ 
worli  would  therefore  have  a  tendenc: 
toward  keeping  prices  fairly  level  ii 
most  localities,  since  the  drop  in  build 
ing  construction   has  not  been   acute. 

August  usually  marks  the  high  marl 
of  production  in  the  cement  industr 
and  it  is  probable  that  over  14,500.00 
barrels  will  be  produced  next  montl 
with  the  annual  outturn  for  the  yea 
closely  approaching,  if  not  exceeding 
the  137,377,000  barrels  made  in  192: 
which    was   valued   at   $207,000,000.

THE  OBSERVER 


(Continued    from    Page    4) 


The  Introduction  of  modern  machinery  and  newer  methods  in  building 
construction  has  made  building  possible  with  very  little  regard  to  wea.ther 
conditions,  according  to  the  report  of  a  nation  wide  survey  conducted  by  the 
Department  of  Commerce  under  Secretary  Hoover  to  determine  why  building 
could  not  be  carried  on  the  year  round. 

The  survey  by  the  Committee  on  Seasonal  Operation  in  the  Construction 
Industries  was  an  outgrowth  of  the  President's  Conference  on  Unemployment, 
whose  purpose  is  to  stimulate  employment,  to  eliminate  waste  and  to  reduce 
costs.  "Construction  with  steel  has  gained  an  independence  of  the  weather 
because  of  the  hoisting  engine  and  air-driven  tools,"  the  report  says. 

"The  hoisting  engine  was  adapted  for  building  purposes  about  1895.  It  not 
only  lifts  heavy  parts  to  place  without  the  risk  attendant  upon  raising  by 
hand,  particularly  in  cold  and  wet  weather,  but  also  makes  it  possible  to  raise 
heavier  pieces  than  could  be  raised  by  hand.  It  eliminates  much  of  the  labor 
and  most  of  the  accidents  which  occurred  when  laborers  crawled  up  uncertain 
ladders  with  loaded  hods,  or  up  slippery  planks  with  heavy  wheelbarrows  in 
inclement  weather. 

"The  application  of  compressed  air  also  has  increased  the  possibilities  of  all 
year  round  building.  Compressed  air  in  building  was  first  utilized  about  1900 
to  meet  the  demand  for  more  economical  riveting  of  the  joints  in  steel 
structures.  The  pneumatic  hammer  greatly  decreased  the  labor  and  time 
needed  for  riveting — no  small  matter  when  the  steel  worker's  complete  ex- 
liosure   to   the   elements   is   considered. 

"Rivets  formerly  were  heated  in  coal  burning  forges  and  were  thrown 
and  caught  by  the  riveting  crews.  Many  were  the  fires  and  accident-  due  to 
sparks  overturned  forges  and  misdirected  rivets.  The  latest  equ:7-.rtent  heats 
rivets  by  gas  or  oil  flames  or  by  electric  currents  passed  through  them.  Rivets 
are    heated    nearer    the    place    where    used    and    most    of    the    former    dangers 

Individuals  concerned  with  building  are  urged  to  do  their  share  in  con- 
tributing to  all  year  round  building  operations  by  scheduling  new  work  and 
repair  work  at  a  time  when  the  pressure  of  general  building  is  not  at  its 
height. 


Thirty-five  million  dollars  have  been 
expended  by  the  State  and  Federal 
Governments  and  landowners  on  the 
flood  control  project  of  the  Sacramento 
river  since  1909,  according  to  a  report 
made  public  by  A.  M.  Barton,  chief  en- 
gineer of  the  State  Reclamation  Board. 
He  estimates  $15,000,000  more  will  be 
needed  to  complete  the  project  as 
planned.  The  burden  of  the  costs  has 
been  borne  by  the  landowners  of  the 
Sacramento  valley.  Barton's  report 
shows,  although  the  original  agree- 
ment was  that  the  costs  would  be 
equally  divided  between  the  State, 
Federal  government  and  landowners. 
Since  1909  the  expenses  of  the  project 
that  have  been  met  by  the  landowners 
totaled   $28,430,000. 

Further  recognition  of  the  impor- 
tant place  the  Pacific  Coast  has  won 
in  the  world  of  organized  motordom 
come  with  the  announcement  that  the 
American  Autobomile  Association,  the 
nation-wide  representative  of  the  or- 
ganized motorists  of  America,  will 
shortly  establish  a  western  headquar- 
ters in  San  Francisco.  This  new 
western  headquarters  of  the  A.  A.  A. 
will  be  located  at  the  general  offices  of 
the  California  State  Automobile  Asso- 
ciation on  Van  Ness  avenue  in  San 
Francisco.  It  will  provide  the  national 
body  with  a  more  direct  contact  with 
its  various  affiliated  automobile  clubs 
in  the  West. 


E.  Sampson  of  the  U.  S.  Geological 
Survey  is  making  a  geological  plat  of 
the  San  Carlos  asbestos  district  in  Gila 
and  Navajo  counties,  Arizona.  Samp- 
son has  been  over  the  ground  before 
and  is  said  to  have  made  a  report  that 
the  mines  of  the  locality  contain  the 
largest  highgrade  deposit  of  asbestos 
so  far  discovered   in   the  United  States. 


L,os  Angeles'  building  total  for  July 
will  be  in  excess  of  ten  million  dollars 
if  the  ratio  for  the  first  22  days  of  the 
month  is  maintained  throughout.  Up 
to  and  including  the  22nd  the  number 
of  permits  issued  was  2487;  and  the 
estimated  valuation  was  $7,945,078. 
For  the  corresponding  period  in  June, 
preceding,  the  number  of  permits  was 
2560  and  the  estimated  valuation  was 
$7,165,214.  For  22  days  of  July,  1923, 
the  number  of  permits  was  2438  and 
the  estimated  valuation  $11,352,731. 
For  the  current  year,  up  to  and  in- 
cluding July  22,  Los  Angeles  building 
total  was  $86,773,816,  as  compared  with 
$105,241,916  for  the  corresponding 
period  last  year. 

Establishing  what  is  believed  to  be  a 
Pacific  Coast  record,  workmen  of  the 
Algoma  Lumber  Company  at  Klamath 
Falls,  in  one  afternoon  loaded  40  cars 
of  logs,  scaling  429,600  feet,  in  seven 
hours  and  35  minutes,  using  a  Mc- 
Giffert  loader.  All  cars  were  accepted 
by  the  Southern  Pacific  inspector  with 
the  exception  of  one  which  was  fast- 
ened with  a  defective  chain.  Nine  men 
were  in  the  crew.  Word  having  gone 
forth  than  an  attempt  would  be  made 
to  establish  a  record,  loggers  and 
loaders  from  other  camps  were  present 
during   the   entire  day. 

John  Perrin,  chairman  of  the  Federal 
Reserve  Board,  reporting  conditions  in 
the  Twelfth  Federal  Reserve  District 
in  his  June  summary  of  business  condi- 
tions reports  June  lumber  production 
in  the  district  was  smaller  than  in  the 
preceding  month  for  the  first  time  since 
January,  1924,  and  the  value  of  build- 
ing permits  was  28.5  per  cent  and  8.9 
per  cent  below  the  figures  reported  for 
a  year  ago  and  a  month  ago,  respec- 
tively, continuing  the  downward  ten- 
dency  for   the   past  three   months. 


Petitions  are  being  circulated  in 
Marin  county  seeking  to  have  the 
county  supervisors  continue  the  fifty 
cent  tax  for  permanent  road  work  and 
the  apportionment  of  the  tax  divided 
equally  among  the  five  road  districts. 


Three  locomotives  and  a  round- 
house, the  property  of  the  Verdi  Lum- 
ber Company  at  Verdi,  Nevada,  were 
destroyed  by  fire  on  July  24.  The  origin 
of  the  blaze  has  not  been  determined. 


Six  platinum  crucibles,  valued  at 
more  than  $1000,  were  stolen  from  the 
plant  laboratory  of  the  Monolith  Port- 
land Cement  Company  at  Monolith, 
Kern   County,   July  24. 

Vitrified  Products  Corporation  is 
making  extensive  additions  tc  tls  plant 
in  Jefferson  street,  San  Diego.  Ap- 
proximately $100,000  will  be  expended 
to  double  the  capacity  of  the  plant.

DOOR     CONTROVERSY'     SETTLED 


The  clash  between  the  carpenters  and 
iron  workers  as  to  which  trade  should 
erect  metal  doors  on  the  new  Chamber 
of  Commerce  Building  in  Boston  ended 
recently  when  the  Supreme  Court  of 
Massachusetts  refused  to  set  aside  a 
decision  of  the  superior  court  awarding 
the  work  to  the  iron  workers.  A  strike 
was  called  on  the  building  by  the  car- 
penters when  the  subcontractors  re- 
fused to  give  this  work  to  them.  The 
dispute  was  taken  to  the  superior 
court  and  the  judge  decided  that  hang- 
ing of  doors  belonged  to  the  iron 
workers.  The  carpenters  entered  a  pro- 
test and  appealed  to  the  Supreme  Court. 
A  special  session  of  the  higher  court 
was  called  and  the  decision  sustained. 
Work  has  been  resumed  on  the  build- 
ing, which  was  nearly  completed  at  the 
time  the  strike  started.

Remixes  Concrete 

When  materials  have  passed  through  mixing  process 
once,  and  come  to  discharging  side  of  the  drum, 
the  reversed  discharge  chute  sprays  them  back  to 
the  charging  side  for  repeated  trips  through  the  5- 
action,  remixing  process.  This  spraying-showering 
action,  at  the  same  time  prevents  separation  of  aggre- 
gate according  to  size.  To  the  last  shovelful  of  every 
batch,  Koehring-mtxed  concrete  is  uniform,  re-mixed 
concrete — dominant  strength  concrete — and  to  every 
last  casting  and  bearing,  the  Koehring  is  the  heavy 
duty  mixer  of  trouble -proof,  long  service  life.

tOCAL,      ARBITRATION   BOARD      FOR 
ST.     LOIIS     PROPOSED 


A  meeting  attended  by  representa- 
tives of  the  Associated  Building  In- 
terests of  St.  Louis  and  delegates  from 
practically  all  of  the  local  unions  was 
held  on  July  15th  for  the  purpose  of 
discussing  the  advisability  of  forming 
a  local  board  for  adjusting  jurisdic- 
tional disputes.  It  was  tlie  concensus 
of  opinion  that  such  a  board  could 
settle  many  questions  that  might 
otherwise  result  in  strikes,  and  it  is 
likely  a  permanent  organization  will 
soon  be  formed.  E.  M.  Craig  of  Chi- 
cago, a  member  of  the  National  Board 
foa  Jurisdictional  Awards,  was  present 
at  the  meeting  and  explained  in  de- 
tail the  method  of  operation  of  that 
body  as  well  as  the  course  pursued  by 
the  local  joint  arbitration  board  in 
Chicago. 


LUMBER    COMPANY    LOSES    SUIT 


Judgment  against  the  Feather  River 
Lumber  Company,  operating  at  Delli- 
ker,  near  Portola.  in  favor  of  E.  I. 
Lane  of  Portola,  has  been  handed  down 
by  Judge  J.  O.  Moncur  of  the  Plumas 
County  Superior  Court. 

Under  the  terms  of  judgment  Lane 
gets  $12,447  and  interest  as  a  balance 
due  on  a  logging  contract  e.xisting  be- 
tween Lane  and  the  company  last  year, 
also  $3,821.15  as  damages  sustained  by 
Lane  as  a  result  of  the  termination  of 
the   contract   by   the   lumber   company. 

Lane  instituted  suit  several  months 
ago  and  the  matter  had  been  under  ad- 
visement by  Judge  Moncur  since  May 
22nd. 


STATI',   ROAD   CONTRACTS  FOR   P.VST         SYNTHETIC     TIMBER     TO     REPL.ICE 
EIGHTEEN   MONTHS  NATURAL  PRODUCT  IN  50  YEARS 

Contracts  totaling  $9,025,247  were 
awarded  by  the  California  State  High- 
way Commission  between  January  9, 
1923    and   July    16.    1924. 

Of  this  total.  $4,041,227.59  represent- 
ed contracts  made  out  of  state  highway 
funds  derived  from  bond  issues  and 
federal  aid  and  $4,984,020.19  represent- 
ed contracts  made  out  of  motor  vehicle 
funds  derived  from  motor  vehicle  and 
gasoline  taxes. 

In  all  during  the  year  and  a  half 
under  review  the  highway  commission 
awarded  fifty-nine  contracts.  Among 
the    largest    were    the    following:

road  from  the  Half  Moon  Bay  road  to 
the  La  Honda  road,  $573,064.60;  Shasta

$420,312.75;  Del  Norte  County,  Klamath 
River  bridge,   $430,914. 

Among  the  other  large  contracts 
awarded  in  northern  California  coun-

miles  of  road  between  the  westerly 
boundary  of  San  Joaquin  County  and 
Banta,    $186,841.71. 


Within  fifty  years,  the  United  States 
will  be  lumber-bankrupt,  B.  G.  Dahl- 
berg.  told  a  meeting  of  lumber  men  in 
Chicago.  All  the  virgin  timber  of  the 
country  will  have  been  used  at  the  end 
of  a  half  century  unless  vigorous  meth- 
ods of  reforesting  denuded  timber 
lands  are  put  into  effect,  Dahlberg 
said. 

"The  United  States,"  said  Dahlberg, 
"once  had  800,000,000  acres  of  virgin 
forests.  Today  it  has  138,000,000  acres, 
of  which  75  per  cent  is  west  of  the 
Rocky  mountains.  Of  181,000,000  acres 
that  have  been  denuded  of  timber,  81,- 
000,000  acres  are  absolutely  barren. 
About  250,000,000  acres  are  in  stump- 
age,  slash  and  various  stages  of  second 
growth.  We  are  now  cutting  10,000,000 
acres  a  year  and  forest  fires  are  de- 
stroying 8,000,000  acres.  To  replace 
our  disappearing  forests,  we  are  plant- 
ing 36,000  acres  ot  trees  annually.  At 
the  present  rate  of  destruction,  the  end 
of  our  timber  resources  is  in  sight. 

"Hope  for  the  builders  of  the  nation 
lies  in  a  substitute  for  lumber.  The 
discovery  of  synthetic  lumber  made  of 
bagasse,  which  is  the  waste  fibre  of 
sugar-cane,  has  averted  the  possibility 
of  vast  tragedy.  There  is  enough 
bagasse  in  the  annual  crops  of  sugar 
cane  in  the  United  States  and  Cuba  to 
produce  25.000,000  feet  of  syntheitc 
lumber  a  day.  The  supply  of  raw  ma- 
terial is  inexhaustable  and  annually 
renewed.  Only  one  mill  for  the  manu- 
facture of  lumber  from  sugar  cane  is 
at  present  in  existence  and  its  daily 
output  is  a  half  million  feet. 

"This  synthetic  lumber  has  all  the 
building  qualitites  of  natural  lumber 
and  in  addition  is  an  insulator  and 
sound-deadener  and  by  reason  of 
chemical  treatment  in  the  making,  is 
as  immune  to  decay  as  the  papyrus 
manuscripts  found  in  ancient  Egyptian 
tombs." 


CONTRACTORS     SUE     UNIONS 


TIED    UP    IN    KANSAS    CITY 


Several  large  projects  totaling  sev- 
eral millions  of  dollars  are  tied  up  in 
Kansas  City  on  account  of  a  dispute 
over  the  installation  of  metal  trim. 
The  carpenters  are  demanding  this 
work  and  the  other  trades  have  refus- 
ed to  work  with  the  carpenters  on 
many  Kansas  City  jobs.  Following  the 
precedent  established  in  Cincinnati  and 
one  or  two  other  cities,  a  new  car- 
penters local  is  being  formed,  the  mem- 
bers of  which  have  pledged  themselves 
to  abide  by  the  rulings  of  the  National 
Board   for  Jurisdictional   Awards. 


FEE     SUIT     DISMISSED 


The  suit  of  Edward  Glass,  San  Fran- 
cisco architect,  against  the  Marysville 
Hotel  Company  for  $17,000  represent- 
ing his  fee  for  drawing  plans  for  the 
new  hotel  to  be  erected  in  Marysville, 
has  been  ordered  dismissed  by  M.  A. 
Nathan,  attorney  for  the  architect. 
President  Arthur  Boulton  of  the  hotel 
company,  according  to  reports  from 
Marysville,  declares  the  differences  be- 
tween Architect  Glass  and  the  hotel 
directors  were  settled  satisfactory  to 
both  sides.  The  financial  settlement, 
it  is  said  was  effected  by  paying  less 
than  half  the  amount  for  which  the 
architect   was   suing. 


Two  interesting  suits  were  recently 
started  in  both  of  which  labor  organi- 
zations  are   being   sued   by   contractors. 

The  first  is  .the  case  of  the  Iron 
League  of  New  York,  which  seeks 
damages  in  the  amount  of  $5,000,000 
from  the  International  Association  of 
Bridge,  Structural  and  Ornamental 
Iron  Workers.  The  other  case  is  that 
of  the  Clifford  F.  McEvoy  Company  of 
Newark,  New  Jersey.  This  concern 
has  started  suit  against  a  number  of 
local  unions,  the  Carpenters  and  Join- 
ers District  Council  and  the  Building 
Trades  Council  of  Newark.  The  suit 
calls  for  damages  in  the  amount  of 
$500,000.  The  action,  the  bill  of  com- 
plaint in  the  case  shows,  is  the  result 
of  a  strike  on  a  union  job  being 
erected  by  the  plaintiff,  to  force  the 
company  to  employ  union  men  on  an- 
other project  being  erected  by  them. 


PAVING  STAMP  REQUIRED 


Specifications  for  concrete  pavement 
on  California  state  highways  now  re- 
quire contractors  to  stamp  the  date 
and  name  of  the  builder  at  the  begin- 
ning and  end  of  each  day's  run.  This 
will  permit  the  public  to  know  who 
the  responsible  builder  in  each  instance 
was  and  also  will  permit  engineers  in 
the  future  to  quickly  determine  the 
history  of  any  particular  piece  of 
pavement.

Buildine  trades  workers  in  the  averjige  American  city  are  employed  le-ss

building  situation  in  the  United  States  with  a  view  to  determining  why  buna

The  ordinances  of  the  City  of  Long  Beach  are  due  to  clash  with  the  con- 
stitution of  the  United  States  unless  the  city  takes  immediate  steps  to  amend 
its  zoning  laws  it  was  revealed,  as  the  aftermath  of  an  impasse  developed  over 
the  attempt  of  Rev.  Father  Francis  J.  Ott  to  find  a  meeting  place  for  his  con- 
gregation in  the  northern  part  of  the  city.  The  zoning  ordinances  is  such 
that  it  is  now  virtually  impossible  legally  to  establish  a  new  church  of  any  de- 
nomination anywhere  in  the  city.  Waited  Desmond,  attorney  for  Rev.  Ott 
declares. 

The  resignation  of  the  members  of  the  Sacramento  city  planning  commis- 
sion tendered  as  a  body  to  the  city  council  will  not  be  accepted  by  the  city's 
governing  body,  for  the  council  has  adopted  an  ordinance  rescinding  the  ordi- 
nance under  which  the  planning  commission  was  created  and  the  five  members 
appointed  by  Mayor  Albert  Elkus.  The  measure,  passed  by  the  unanimous 
vote  of  the  seven  councilmen  present,  will  become  effective  August  24,  leaving 
the  commission  with  authority  until  that  time  to  act  on  petitions  for  changes 
of  zones  within  the  city  limits. 

The  semi-annual  survey  by  the  Na- 
tional Association  of  Real  Estate 
Boards  shows  that  in  more  than  half 
of  the  cities  reporting,  the  shortage  of 
apartments  and  business  structures  has 
been  overcome,  and  that  only  56  per 
cent  of  the  cities  report  a  shortage  of 
single  family  dwellings.  A  survey  con- 
ducted last  November  revealed  that  in 
68  per  cent  of  the  cities  reporting  a

J.  W.  Ludlow,  harbor  engineer,  was 
relieved  of  his  duties  by  the  Los  An- 
geles harbor  commission  because,  with- 
out authority  from  the  commission,  a 
$50,000  barge  belonging  to  the  city 
was  taken  outside  the  breakwater  to 
dump  some  sand  and  rock  on  the  beach 
at  the  suggestion  of  the  playground 
commission,  and  was  driven  on  the 
rocks  by  the  waves.  The  engineer 
claimed  he  had  been  instructed  by 
President  Colden  to  use  the  barge  for 
the  purpose,  but  Commissioners  Allen 
and  Kieble  contended  he  should  have 
acted  only  on  instructions  from  the 
commission.  President  Colden  assumed 
full  responsibility  for  his  action,  but 
the  other  commissioners  did  not  con- 
sider this  relieved  the  engineer  of 
blame.

Under  an  agreement  recently  signed 
by  the  Mason  Builders'  Association  of 
Greater  New  York  and  five  bricklayer 
unions,  all  apprentices  working  at  the 
trade  must  attend  evening  public  vo- 
cational schools  two  hours  a  night  for 
two  niglits  a  week  during  the  regular 
evening  school  session.  The  agree- 
ment provides  for  the  creation  of  a 
joint  apprenticeship  committee,  out- 
lines the  duties  of  the  committee,  pro- 
vides for  continuous  employment  of  ap- 
prentices, states  the  minimum  wage  to 
be  paid,  and  sets  up  the  method  of 
supervision,  regulations  and  adjust- 
ments. A  special  course  of  study  is 
now  being  outlined  by  fxperts  in  the 
trade,  that  will  enable  an  apprentice  to 
get  the  theoretical  and  related  sub- 
jects which  he  can  not  get  on  the  job 
during  the  day. 


SEEK    WAGE    INCREASE 


Commercial  building  in  Houston, 
Te.xas,  was  tied  up  by  a  union  hoisting 
engineers'  walk-out  July  16  as  a  result 
of  the  refusal  of  contractors  in  the 
city  to  grant  them  an  increase  in  the 
wage  scale  from  $8.50  to  $10  a  day. 
The  strikers  are  being  replaced  by 
nonunion  hoisting  engineers  as  fast  as 
the  Open  Shop  Association  can  furnish 
the  men.

on  a  contract  for  the  construction  of 
the  Covell  hotel  in  Modesto.  Accord- 
ing to  the  plaintiffs  they  carried  out 
all  of  the  contract,  which  was  entered 
into  in  May,  1923.  The  complaint  is 
70  pages  in  length  and  contains  31

KINDS    It.4ISED    FOR    STATE    WATER 
SURVEY 


Continuation  of  the  much  needed 
survey  of  the  wa^er  situation  ot  Cali- 
fornia was  made  possible  at  a  recent 
meeting  held  under  the  auspices  of  the 
San  Francisco  Chamber  of  Commerce 
when  $52,500  ot  the  $100,000  needed  for 
that  purpose  was  unaerwritten  by  a 
group  of  banking  and  comm.^rcial  in- 
terests of  the  city. 

The  California  legislature  of  1921 
appropriated  $200,000  for  a  v.Mter  sur- 
vey of  the  state  but  before  the  work 
was  completed  the  money  w.is  exhaust- 
ed and  the  task  was  halted  One  of 
the  primary  purposes  of  the  work  was 
to  survey  watersheds  and  streams  for 
the  purpose  of  ascertaining  the  amount 
of  water  that  can  be  impounded  for 
use  during  the  summer  months  when 
no  rain  falls.  The  drouth  of  this 
year  has  acutely  brought  before  the 
people  of  the  state  the  need  of  con- 
servation of  water  and  for  some  time 
past  there  has  been  a  demand  that 
some  action  be  taken  that  would  make 
a  repetition  of  present  conditions  im- 
possible. After  the  question  had  been 
discussed  by  a  number  of  leading  men 
of  the  state  it  was  decided  that  the 
most  feasible  way  to  continue  the 
water  survey  was  to  have  the  San 
Francisco  Chamber  of  Commerce  and 
the  Los  Angeles  Chamber  of  Commerce 
to  sponsor  a  plan  to  underwrite  $100,- 
000,  the  amount  to  be  evenly  divided 
between  the  two  cities,  the  contribu- 
tors to  be  reimbursed  by  a  legislative 
act. 


SAFETY     COACH     IS     VEHICLE     FOR 
BUILDERS    ON    TRIP 


Sixteen  members  of  the  building  fra- 
ternity from  San  Francisco  and  Oak- 
land traveled  in  comfort  to  the  U.  S. 
Veterans'  Hospital  inspection  trip  at 
Livermore. 

The  trip  was  made  in  a  Fageol 
Safety  Coach  and  was  secured  for  the 
occasion  by  Steve  Guerin  through  the 
courtesy  of  the  Fageol  Motors  Com- 
pany, operating  a  plant  at  Hollywood 
and  107th  streets,  Oakland. 

Those  who  made  the  trip  in  the 
coach  were:  Steve  Guerin,  Bill  Gray, 
Geo.  Dixon,  W.  H.  Jarvis,  J.  G.  Twy- 
ford,  F.  J.  Edwards,  Vic  Creghino,  J.

OLD       MISSION      CEMENT      COMPANY 
HOLDS     OUTING 


The  second  annual  barbecue  and 
picnic  of  the  Old  Mission  Cement  Com- 
pany was  held  at  Sargeant  Grove, 
Sunday,   August   3. 

Tables  were  spread  and  amusements 
provided  by  the  plant  employes  operat- 
ing under  the  supervision  of  Mr.  Park- 
er,  plant   superintendent. 

A  feature  of  the  day  was  a  Barnyard 
Golf  Championship  match,  the  honors 
going  to  the  San  Francisco  office.  In 
addition  to  amusements  for  the  kiddies, 
the  company  provided  music  and 
games  for  the  older  folks.  Dancing 
and  swimming  contests  occupied  sev- 
eral anxious  moments  for  the  younger 
folk. 

The  next  annual  outing  of  the 
company  will  be  arranged  for  by  the 
San  Francisco  employes  at  a  location 
yet   to   be   determined.

L.  A.   GETS   IMPORTED   CEMENT 
INTENDED  FOR  SEATTLE 


The  Seattle  Journal  of  Commerce, 
under  date  of  July   21.  advises; 

"Because  of  strict  municipal  regula- 
tions governing  the  use  of  imported 
cement,  1000  tons  of  European  cement 
intended  for  discharge  at  Seattle  was 
discharged  at  Los  Angeles  last  week 
by  the  steamship  Jacques  Cartier  of  the 
Compagnie  Generale  Transatlantique, 
the  French  line,  reports  the  General 
Steamship  corporation,  local  agent  for 
the  line. 

"According  to  the  city  regulations, 
cement  imported  from  foreign  countries 
must  undergo  a  2S-day  test.  This  is 
said  to  cause  loss  to  the  importer  and 
as  a  result  other  markets  are  being 
sought.  In  a  recent  case,  a  Seattle 
imtjorter  brought  in  several  hundred 
tons  of  cement  from  Europe,  The 
same  importer  had  1000  tons  on  the 
Jacques  Cartier,  but  his  first  shipment 
has  just  finished  the  28-day  test  and 
it  would  have  meant  tying  up  the  1000- 
ton  shipment  for  a  similar  period.  In- 
stead, the  local  merchant  had  the  ce- 
ment discharged  at  Los  Angeles  and 
placed  on  the  market  there,  since  no 
restrictions  are  placed  on  imported  ce- 
ment at  the  California  city." 


Private  building  operations  in  San 
Francisco  for  the  fiscal  year  ending 
June  30,  1924,  totaled  $47,947,764,  ac- 
cording to  figures  compiled  by  John  P. 
Horgan,  chief  inspector  of  buildings' 
of  the  Department  of  Public  Works. 
During  that  period  9,992  permits  were 
issued  covering  new  construction  and 
repairs  and  alterations.  During  the 
same  period  13  permits  were  granted 
covering  public  improvements,  for  the 
State  Board  of  Harbor  Commissioners 
and  the  city  and  county  of  San  Fran- 
cisco. The  latter  improvements  were 
e.stimated  to  cost  $f55,793. 

Fiscal  year  building  operations  for 
the  period  ending  June  30,  1923, 
totaled  9048  permits  with  an  estimated

Purposes   of   National    Board    for 

Jurisdictional   Awards   Explained 


Jurisdictional  disputes  between  the 
various  building  trades  have  long  been 
responsible  for  serious  stoppages  in  the 
Industry  and  with  the  possible  excep- 
tion of  wage  negotiations  have  caused 
more  strikes  than  any  other  single 
factor.  . 

Disputes  of  this  character  in  the  old 
days  of  simple  construction  were  few 
and  far  between,  but  with  the  advent 
of  the  modern  fireproof  building,  with 
its  complicated  mechanical  equipment 
and  the  introduction  of  many  new  ma- 
terials, there  has  been  a  strong  ten- 
dency on  the  part  of  the  various  trades 
for  each  to  secure  the  right  of  perform- 
ing   the    extra    labor    involved. 

A  number  of  years  ago  the  officers  of 
the  American  Federation  of  Labor  be- 
gan to  realize  that  something  would 
have  to  be  done  to  prevent  the  con- 
stant friction  between  the  trades  and 
accordingly  adopted  a  policy  of  hear- 
ing cases  in  dispute  and  making 
awards  at  the  annual  convention  of  the 
body.  This  plan  was  followed  for 
some  time,  but  inasmuch  as  it  did  not 
afford  the  other  elements  of  the  in- 
dustry an  opportunity  to  be  heard  on 
the  matters  in  dispute,  it  soon  became 
apparent  that  some  other  means  of  ad- 
justing   differences    must    be    found. 

On  February  13  and  14,  1919,  the 
Executive  Committee  of  the  Building 
Trades  Department  of  the  American 
Federation  of  Labor  at  a  meeting  held 
in  Boston,  Mass.,  extended  a  hearing  to 
a  committee  representing  architects, 
engineers,  contractors  and  the  United 
States  Department  of  Labor.  This  joint 
committee  discussed  the  necessity  of 
eliminating  jurisdictional  disputes  in 
the  construction  industry  at  some 
length  and  agreed  to  met  for  further 
discussion  in  New  York  City. 

Accordingly  a  meeting  was  held  in 
New  York  on  February  15,  1919,  at 
which  time  it  was  decided  to  create  a 
committee  of  ten  members,  five  rep- 
resenting labor  and  five  representing 
contractors,  architects,  etc.,  to  still 
further  discuss  the  matter. 

In  compliance  with  the  instructions 
of  the  February  15th  meeting  a  con- 
ference was  held  In  Cleveland,  Ohio,  on 
March  3  and  4,  1919,  with  the  follow- 
ing members  of  the  Committee  present: 
E.  J.  Russell,  W.  H.  Kilham,  Archi- 
tects; W.  C.  Luce,  A.  R.  McCreary,  E. 
AV.  Reaugh,  Contractors:  John  Donlin, 
President  Building  Trades  Department; 
John  T.  Cosgrove.  United  Brotherhood 
of  Carpenters  and  Joiners  of  America; 
William  Dobson,  Bricklayers.  Masons 
and  Plasterers  International  Union; 
John  J.  Hynes,  Amalgamated  Sheet 
Metal  Workers  International  Alliance; 
Wm.  J.  Spencer,  Secretary  Building 
Trades  Department;  John  B.  Lennon, 
United    States    Department    of   Labor. 

A  plan  for  eliminating  jurisdictional 
disputes  in  the  construction  industry 
was  submitted  to  the  members  of  the 
committee  by  Mr.  Lennon.  This  was 
discussed  at  some  length  and  a  number 
of   important   changes   made   in   same. 

At  a  subsequent  meeting  held  in  In- 
dianapolis, Indiana,  on  April  4th  1919, 
which  was  attended  by  practically  the 
same  group  present  at  the  Cleveland 
meeting,  a  general  plan  was  presented 
and  endorsed.  This  plan  in  brief  pro- 
vided that  a  Board  to  be  called  the 
National  Board  for  Jurisdictional 
Awards  in  the  Construction  Industry 
should  be  created  consisting  of  eight 
members,  three  to  be  selected  by  the 
Building  Trades  Department  of  the 
American  Federation  of  Labor,  and  one 
each  by  the  American  Institute  of  Ar- 
chitects, the  Engineering  Council,  the 
Associated  General  Contractors  of 
America,  the  National  Association  of 
Building  Trades  Employers  and  the 
National  Association  of  Builders'  Ex- 
changes.    The  last  named  organization 


did  not  select  a  representative  and  the 
Associated  General  Contractors  of 
America  was  therefore  given  the 
privilege  of  naming  two  delegates. 

According  to  the  constitution  of 
the  Board,  it  is  invested  with  power  to 
investigate  all  disputes  of  a  jurisdic- 
tional nature  and  make  awards  in  ac- 
cordance with  its  findings.  Should  the 
Board  fail  to  make  an  award  an  umpire 
may  be  agreed  upon  whose  findings 
shall  be  final.  In  the  event  the  Board 
fails  to  agree  on  an  umpire  the  con- 
stitution provides  that  the  Secretary 
of  the  United  States  Department  of 
Labor  shall  be  called  upon  to  name  an 
umpire. 

The  constitution  further  provides 
that  all  complaints  must  be  submittad 
to  the  Board  through  the  officials  of 
an  organization  which  is  a  party  to 
the  agreement. 

All  of  the  organizations  signatory  to 
the  Board  are  pledged  to  suspend  mem- 
bers who  refuse  to  abide  by  tho  de- 
cisions rendered  by  it. 

On  August  11.  1919,  the  National 
Board  for  Jurisdictional  Awards  in 
the  Building  Industry  met  and  organiz- 
ed by  electing  E.  J.  Russell  of  St.  Louis 
representing  the  American  Instituto  of 
Architects,  Chairman;  William  L. 
Hutcheson  of  Indianapolis.  General 
President  of  the  United  Brotherhood  of 
Carpenters  &  Joiners  of  America,  Vice- 
Chairman,  and  William  J.  Spencer  of 
Washington,  D.  C,  Secretary  of  the 
Building  Trades  Department  of  the 
American  Federation  of  Labor,  Execu- 
tive  Secretary. 

The  next  meeting  of  the  Board  was 
held  the  week  beginning  March  8,  1920 
in  Washington,  D.  C,  at  which  timt 
the  first  cases  to  be  brought  to  the 
Board  were  heard  and  a  numbe"-  of 
awards  made. 

The  first  real  friction  came  when 
William  L.  Hutcheson  representing  the 
carpenters  failed  to  appear  at  x  meet- 
ing of  the  Board  on  November  29, 
1920.  The  carpenters  have  not  parti- 
cipated in  the  Board  since  that  time 
and  at  the  Building  Trades  Convention 
held  in  Denver,  Colo.,  June  8-11  in- 
clusive 1921,  the  carpenters  were  sus- 
pended from  the  Department. 

All  of  the  other  trades  have  con- 
tinued to  participate  in  the  Board  and 
on  the  whole  have  insisted  that  the 
awards  made  by  it  be  respected.  Mil- 
lions of  dollars  have  been  saved  the 
building  public  through  the  amicable 
settlement  of  jurisdictional  disputes 
which  heretofore  resulted  in  strikes 
many  of  which  were  of  long  duration. 

The  Board  has  the  endorsement  of 
many  high  governmental  officials  and 
it  is  recognized  as  the  Supreme  Court 
of  the  entire  construction  industry. 

In  a  number  of  localities  local  boards 
are  operating  which  decide  purely  local 
matters  in  the  interim  between  meet- 
ings  of  the  National  Board. 

The  personnel  of  the  Board  at  the 
present  time  is  as  follows:  Rudolph  P. 
Miller,  Chairman,  Federated  American 
Engineering  Societies:  Edw.  B.  Lee, 
American  Institute  of  Architects;  Tylor 
Field,  and  F.  J.  C.  Dresser,  Associated 
General  Contractors  of  America:  E.  M. 
Craig,  National  Association  of  Building 
Trades  Employers;  Thos.  R.  Preece, 
John  Coffleld  and  Geo.  F.  Hedrick, 
Building  Trades  Department  of  Ameri- 
can Federation  of  Labor;  Wm.  J.

A  decided  betterment  in  the  lumber 
market  is  reported  from  nearly  every 
producing  section,  says  the  "American 
Lumberman."  Latest  statistics  report 
of  the  Southern  Pine  Association 
shows  orders  at  subscribing  mills  this 
month  have  risen  sharply  to  102  per 
cent  of  normal — the  highest  this  yeai\ 
Production  during  the  same  time  stood 
at  80  per  cent  of  normal,  and  ship- 
ments averaged  77  per  cent.  There  is 
in  fact,  an  active  call  for  all  items  of 
yard  and  shed  stock,  and  the  recent 
substantial  increase  in  inquiry  indi- 
cates that  needs  are  extensive,  and 
that  the  recent  rise  in  demand  is  no 
mere  fluctuation.  The  Douglas  fir  in- 
dustry also  has  experienced  a  good 
business  during  recent  weeks,  especial- 
ly after  the  Fourth.  Orders  booked  by 
the  mills  reporting  to  the  West  Coast 
Lumbermen's  Association  by  mid-July 
attained  19  per  cent  above  production, 
which  in  the  meantime  had  risen  to 
practically    normal. 

Shipments  of  Portland  cement  dur- 
ing the  month  of  June.  1924,  reached 
15  036,000  barrels,  the  highest  figure 
on  record,  according  to  statistics  pre- 
pared by  Ernest  F.  Burchard  of  the 
United  States  geological  survey.  Of 
this  amount,  351,000  barrels  were  ship- 
ped from  Washington,  Oregon  and 
Montana.  Production  in  the  United 
States  during  the  month  totaled  13.- 
53£,000  barrels,  against  12,382,000  bar- 
rels produced  in  June,  1923.  Stocks  of 
clinker  or  underground  cement  at  the 
mills  at  the  end  of  June,  1924,  amount- 
ed to  7,618,000  barrels,  compared  with 
8,225,000  barrels  at  the  beginning  of 
the  month. 


Opening  up  a  vast  tract  of  timber

property  on  the  top  of  the  nearby 
mountain — a  distance  of  4800  feet 
with  a  maximum  grade  of  58.6  feet  to 
the  mile.  W.  Y.  Stoddard,  manager 
for  the  Murphy  interests  in  Plumas 
County,  says  it  was  expected  to  do 
some  cutting  this  Fall,  but  if  prepa-

new  camp  would  be  in  operation  early 
in    the    Spring.

Dickey  Mastertile 
Walls  for  the 

Livermore  Hospital 


Once  again  the  United  States  Govern- 
ment has  chosen  Dickey  Mastertile  for 
important  hospital  construction. 

(1)  The  United  States  Base  Hos- 
pital at  Palo  Alto  was  constructed  of 
Dickey  Mastertile. 

(2)  The  United  States  Hospital  for 
disabled  war  veterans  at  Livermore  is 
now  being  constructed  of  Dickey  Mas- 
tertile. 

It  has  grown  to  be  a  well  established 
practice  of  the  Government  to  build 
hospitals,  barracks  and  similar  struc- 
tures of  hollow  tile.  This  material  has 
been  proven  by  the  Government,  in  its 


widely  scattered  and  varied  construc- 
tion, to  he  economical  and  to  permit 
speedy  erection.  It  gives  at  low  cost  the 
highest  degree  of  protection  against  fire 
and  decay.  It  minimizes  upkeep  cost. 
Its  dead  air  spaces  insulate  the  interior 
against  the  heat  of  summer,  the  cold  of 
winter,  moisture  and  sound,  affording  a 
dry,  quiet,  healthful  and  comfortable 
building. 

These  same  qualities  make  Dickey 
Mastertile  ideal  for  schools  and  all 
types  of  construction  where  fire-safety, 
permanence  and  economy  are  im- 
portant.

organized  committeeB  which  afforded 
the  viBltorH  Bufficlent  time  to  investi- 
Kate  each  of  the  twenty-five  buildingH 
which   comprlBC   the   project. 

Immediately  following  the  hospital 
Inspection  tour  the  vlBltorH  were  taken 
by  automobile  to  the  plant  of  the  Cali- 
fornia Brick  Company,  near  Livermore, 
where  an  old  fashioned  barbecue  was 
served  through  the  courtesy  of  Mr.  X. 
A.  Dickey,  president  of  the  California 
Brick  Company.  FollowinK  the  barbe- 
cue the  visitors  were  escorted  through 
the  plant  of  the  California  Brick  Com- 
pany and  shown  the  process  of  manu-

ra cotta  and  fire   tile. 

HoKpital    Project 
The     Livermore     Hospital     site     com- 
prises approximately  two  hundred  and 
forty    acres    located    about    four    miles 
south   of   Livermore. 

The  project  Involves  the  construction 
of  twenty-five  buildings  and  a  reser- 
voir. 

The  Infirmary  Building,  the  largest 
of  all,  consists  of  the  main  central 
building,  four  stories  In  height  In 
which  the  operating  rooms,  laborator- 
ies, etc..  are  located  and  two  radiating 
wings,  two  stories  in  height,  each  with 
a  promenade  roof,  in  which  the  pa- 
tients will  be  housed.

two    stories    in    height    and    will    house 

administrative    offices,     main     kitchen, 

dining    room,    refrigerating    plant,    etc. 

A    large    one-story    building    will    be 


Credit  for  the  success  of  the 
C.  S.  Veterans'  Hospital  Inspec- 
tion Trip  is  due  to  the  never- 
tiring  .-fforls  of  Mr.  N.  A.  f>lckey, 
president  of  the  California  Brick 
Company. 

To  Mr,  Dickey  is  d-ie  the 
thanks  of  the  visitors  tor  the 
barbecue  served  following  the 
hospital    Inspection. 

The  efforls  of  Mr.  Dickey 
created  sudicient  interest  to  war- 
rant the  altendano — which,  it 
is  safe  to  say,  exceeded  3.00  per- 
sons.

Ambulant     Cottmses 

There  will  be  eight  one-story  cot- 
tages in  which  will  be  housed  and 
treated  the  patients  not  seriously  ill. 
These  will  be  known  as  the  Ambulant 
Cottages.  This  group  will  contain  Its 
own  kitchens  and  dining  room. 

Two  large  structures,  two  stories  in 
height,  will  house  the  attendants'  and 
nurses'  quarters.  A  two-story  boiler 
house  with  laundry,  Incinerator  and 
water  softening  plant,  a  two-story  ga- 
rage and  two-story  warehouse  build- 
ing are  other  structures. 

Fireproof     Coiuftruelloil 

All  of  the  above  buildings  are  fire- 
proof, being  of  concrete  and  hollow  tile 
construction.  The  majority  of  them 
will  have  terra  cotta  tile  roofs. 

A  cottage  for  the  Medical  Officer  in 
Charge  is  provided.  This  will  be  of 
frame  construction  with  tile  roof.  Six 
cottages  of  similar  construction  of  the 
Duplex  Type  will  house  the  Officers'

Whitco  Casement  Hardware 
Helps  Solve  Architects'  Problems 


This  standard  product  not  only  takes  the  place  of  butts  and  adjusters,  but  offers 
{he  most  practfcal  and  effectn-e  means  yet  devised  for  mstalhng  and  controlling 
casement  windows  and  transoms. 
As   the   illustration 


SweetS 


shows,  "Whitco  Hard- 
ware is  a  simple,  self- 
contained  unit.  One 
size  fits  all  sash  and 
meets  every  type  of  in- 
stallation, from  a  single 
sash  or  a  pair  of  sash, 
to  a  wide  opening  con- 
taining multiple  sash 
without  mullions. 
Makes  an  equally  per- 
fect method  of  con- 
trolling transoms. 

There  is  no  assembling  of  hardware 
parts;  a  set  consists  of  two  pieces,  one 
for  the  top  and  one  for  the  bottom  ot 
the  casement  sash— one  for  each  side  of 
transoms. 

Each  set  (equipment  for  one  case- 
ment sash  or  transom)  with  install- 
ing instructions,  is^packed  m  a  neat 
carton  1"  x  I"  s  8". 


NOTE  THESE  UNUSUAL  FEATURES 
Makes  sash  self-adjusting 
No  hinges  or  adjusters  are  required 
Cannot  rattle 

All  hardware  entirely  concealed 
No  special  sash  or  frame  detail  required 
One  size  fits  all  sash 
May  be  installed  to  swing  to  right  or  left 
Outside  of  sash  easily  washed  from  in- 
side of  room 
Easily  applied  to  old  or  new  windows 
Easy  to  operate 
Equally  effective  for  transoms 
It  is  inexpensive — and  the  price  is  right 


Special  hardware  fin- 
ishes are  entirely  elimi- 
nated, as  the  hardware 
is  concealed. 
No  special  sash  of- 
frame  detail  is  required. 
The  price  is  right- 
Through  standardiza- 
tion and  quantity  pro- 
duction, Whitco  Hard- 
ware is  sold  at  a  figure 
which  makes  it  feasible 
for  you  to  take  full  ad- 
vantage of  the  archi- 
tectural possibilities  of  the  casement 
window— for  small  houses  as  well  as  for 
large  homes— at  a  cost  well  below  that 
of  any  workable  installation  of  butts  and 
adjusters. 


Whitco  Hardware  is  sold  only 
through  retail  dealers  in  buUders' 
hardware.  If  7°"'  hardware 
man  cannot  supply  you.  send  us

Effect  of  Quantity  of  Mixing  Water  on  the  Compressive  Strength  of  Concrete 

NOTE:  In  general  construction,  the  maximum  strength  can  rarely  be  obtained, 

but  it  is  possible  to  obtain  70  to  90  per  cent  oi  the  maximum  strength  without 

additional  expense  by  restricting  the  quantity  of  mixing  water. 


Observe  this  curve  closely.  It 
shows  impressively  the  eSect  of 
the  quantity  of  mixing  water  on 
the  strength  of  concrete. 

It  is  now  known  that  excess 
mixing  water,  not  only  weakens 
concrete,  but  that  it  is  actually 
wasteful  of  cement.  One  pint  of 
water  more  than  necessary  in  a  one- 
bag  batch  decreases  the  strength 
and  resistance  to  wear  as  much  as 
though  two  or  three  pounds  of 
cement  were  left  out. 

Here  is  a  fact, which  if  brought 
home  to  the  superintendent  and 
the  foreman,  can  be  of  great  prac- 
tical value  in  raising  quality  on 
the  job. 


Wouldn't  you  like  to  have,  right 
at  hand  for  quick  reference,  a  prac- 
tical manual  which  tells  how  the 
quantity  of  mixing  water  can  be 
closely  controlled,  so  as  to  give 
concrete  greater  strength  without 
using  any  more  cement? 

Then  write  today  for  our  free 
booklet,  "Concrete  Data  for  En- 
gineers and  Architects."  We  will 
be  glad  to  send  you  extra  copies 
for  superintendents  and  foremen. 

Take  full  advantage  of  the  serv- 
ice the  Portland  Cement  Asso- 
ciation has  to  o2er.  One  of  the 
District  Offices  of  the  Associa- 
tion is  always  near  you.  Get  ac- 
quainted with  it.

Remixes  Concrete 

When  materials  have  passed  through  mixing  process 
once,  and  come  to  discharging  side  of  the  drum, 
the  reversed  discharge  chute  sprays  them  back  to 
the  charging  side  for  repeated  trips  through  the  5- 
action,  remixing  process.  This  spraying-showering 
action,  at  the  same  time  prevents  separation  of  aggre- 
gate according  to  size.  To  the  last  shovelful  of  every 
batch,  Koehring-mixed  concrete  is  uniform,  re-mixed 
concrete — dominant  strength  concrete — and  to  every 
last  casting  and  bearing,  the  Koehring  is  the  heavy 
duty  mixer  of  trouble-proof,  long  service  life.

DICTIONARY       OF       SPECIFICATIONS 


Several  important  developments  in 
the  work  on  the  dictionary  or  hand- 
book ot  specifications  have  taken 
place  recently,  according  to  the  July 
10  Technical  News  Bulletin  of  the  U. 
S  Bureau  of  Standards,  the  last  bul- 
letin was  issued.  The  National  Asso- 
ciation of  Purchasing  Agents,  with 
which  the.  National  Conference  of  Gov- 
ernment Purchasing  Agents  is  closely 
ainiiated,  has  undertaken  to  distribute 
copies  of  all  the  preliminary  classified 
indices  of  existing  specifications  to  its 
affiliated  associations  (numbering 
about  fifty)  which  are  appointing 
specifications  councillors  to  whom 
these  indice-s  are  being  referred  for 
comment  and  criticism.  The  National 
Lumber  Manufacturers'  Association  has 
commeHced  the  preparation  of  a  lumber 
handbook,  the  work  on  which  will  be 
conducted  under  the  auspices  of  the 
Central  Committee  on  Lumber  Stand- 
ards. This  undertaking  will  be  carried 
on  in  such  a  manner  as  to  meet  the 
approval  of  both  the  producer  and  the 
consumer  organizations  interested  in 
this  subject,  both  of  which  will  be 
given  abundant  opportunity  to  co- 
operate. It  is  understood  that  the 
Central  Committee  on  Lumber  Stand- 
ards, which  has  been  functioning  in 
close  co-operation  with  the  Division  of 
Simplified  Practice,  will  co-  operate  in 
a  similar  manner  in  connection  with 
the  work  on  the  dictionary  of  specifica- 
tions. Very  helpful  assistance  is  also 
being  obtained  from  the  American 
Marine  Standards  Committee,  which 
bears  a  similar  relation  to  the  Division 
of  Simplified  Practice,  and  welcomes 
the  opportunity  to  co-operate  in  this 
work. 


•■It.alization  of  the  possibilities  of 
highway  transportation  is  one  of  the 
most  important  commercial  problems 
confronting  America,"  said  Arthur  H. 
Delira,  civil  engineer  and  general  con- 
tractor, who  arrived  in  San  B'rancisco, 
.\ug.  in,  from  New  York. 

DeBra.  as  an  engineer,  has  assisted 
In  planning  the  devi'lopment  of  high- 
way systems  in  New  York  and  several 
of  the.  New  England  states.  He  is 
stopping  at  the  Whitcomb  Hotel. 

"Local  highways  in  the  United 
States,"  said  DeBra,  "must  be  planned 
to  fit  in  with  state  highway  systems 
and  then,  in  turn,  to  interlock  with  the 
national  scheme  of  transportation. 
Krom  a  construction  standpoint,  all 
highways  should  be  built  on  the  one 
invariable  jirincipal:  to  yield  a  ma.\i- 
mum  amount  of  service  at  a  miiimum 
mileage  cost. 

"Highway  transportation  is  now 
recognized  as  an  essential  element  in 
the  general  transportation  scheme  of 
the  country.  For  practical  service, 
civilization  has  produced  three  types  of 
transportation:  rail,  water  and  the 
highway  system.  Any  one  of  these 
modes  of  transportation  has  its  field  of 
operation  with  accompanying  limita- 
tions. The  method  of  transportation 
that  is  best  adapted  to  serve  a  cer- 
tain community  or  ad.ioining  com- 
munities will  gradually  be  developed  in 
that  territory.  Rail  transportation 
has  never  entirely  replaced  shipping  by 
water  and  highway  systems  will  never 
supplant  the  railroads. 

"Local  state  and  national  groups  that 
plan  roads  should  consist  of  men  who 
have  a  vision  of  the  future  values  of  a 
fully  developed  highway  system  to  the 
prosperity  of  the  country.  They  should 
be  given  sufficient  time  in  office  to  de- 
velop their  plans  and  their  administra- 
tion should  be  free  from  the  shifting 
winds  of  politics. 

"This  is  my  first  visit  to  California 
and,  as  yet,  1  have  had  no  opportunity 
to  study  your  highway  system.  My  im- 
pressions from  the  railroad  train,  how- 
ever, is  good.  If  your  roads  in  the  in- 
terior are  as  good  as  at  the  crossings, 
they  are  as  serviceable  as  any  I've 
seen  in  the  country." 


BIG     TI.MBER    DEY'ELOPMENTS     ARE 
RIIMORED    AT   KL.-YMATH    FALLS 

The  presence  in  Klamath  Falls.  Ore., 
of  J.  P.  Hennessy,  general  manager  of 
the  Shevlin-Hixon  lumber  mills  at 
Bend,  coupled  with  the  fact  that  the 
Bend  company  has  been  negotiating  for 
the  purchase  of  the  Modoc  Lumber 
Company  mill  at  Chiloquin.  is  believed 
an  indication  that  the  Shevlin-Hixon 
Company  will  utilize  a  Klamath  County 
mill  to  manufacture  the  enormous 
timber  holdings  acquired  through  its 
purchase  of  the  North  Marsh  timber 
unit  of  the  Klamath  Indian  reserva- 
tion. 

Accompanying  Hennessy  were  J.  H. 
Meister,  logging  superintendent  for 
the  company,  and  F.  W.  Horskotte,  mill 
designer,  who  built  the  plant  now 
operated  bv  the  Shevlin-Hixon  Com- 
pany at  Bend.  None  of  the  three  would 
affirm  or  deny  the  report  that  the 
company  would  operate  at  Klamath 
Falls. 

Acquisition  of  the  Modoc  mill  would 
place  the  Shevlin-Hixon  company  in  a 
strategic  position  to  control  adjacent 
timber  on  the  reservation  not  yet  sold. 


Because  of  a  large  number  of  vary- 
ing specifications  for  steel  reinforcing 
liars  used  in  construction  of  roads, 
bridges,  and  buildings  and  other  struc- 
tures, proposals  for  simplification  of 
I  ho  varieties  of  this  commodity  will  he 
considered  at  a  meeting  on  September 
It  in  the  Department  of  Commerce,  it 
was  announced  recently  by  the  Di- 
vision of  Simplified  Practice,  under 
whose  auspices  the  conference  will  be 
held. 

Based  upon  an  analysis  of  experience 
and  sales  demand,  it  has  been  suggest- 
ed by  representative  dealers  that  the 
following  sizes  of  steel  reinforcing  bars 
he  used  as  a  basis  tor  a  simplified 
practice  recommendation: — Square  ^ 
inch,  1  inch,  1^  inch  and  1^4  inch. 
Round — %,  %,  %,  %,  %  and  1  inch. 

.Surveys  reported  to  the  Division 
show  that  many  rolling  mills,  manfac- 
turers,  dealers  and  consumnng  in- 
terests have  already  adopted  these 
sizes,  which  can  be  supplied  economi- 
cally by  all  producers.  It  is  declared 
that  the  range  in  the  recommended 
sizes  would  be  sufficient  to  supplant 
the   15   sizes   now   used    in   each   style. 

Endorsement  of  the  recommended 
sizes  will  be  asked  from  Government 
departments  and  technical  bodies,  as 
well  as  architects,  contractors,  engi- 
neers, bridge  and  road  builders  as  well 
as   other  consuming  interests. 

As  to  the  flat-shaped  bars,  no  sug- 
gestions have  been  made,  but  it  is  ex- 
pected that  existing  conditions  will 
be  discussed  and  a  survey  may  result. 

Suggestions  have  been  received  by 
the  Division  that  an  "intermediate" 
grade,  embodying  the  desirable  feat- 
ures of  "structural"  and  "high  carbon" 
grades,  would  enable  dealers  to  cut 
their  stocks  from  30  piles  to  half  that 
nnumber.  or  even  to  one-third  if  one 
grade  were  adopted.  The  question  of 
a  future  course  of  action  concerning 
an  adequate  and  sufficient  grade  of 
steel  will  be  referred  to  technical 
bodies  concerned. 


CHANGES       IN        STATE       HIGHWAY 
BRIDGE    DEPARTMENT 


Acting  Bridge  Engineer  H.  D.  Miller,

fostered  by  the  California  State  Auto- 
mobile Association.  Stewart  Mitchell, 
formerly  assistant  bridge  engineer  of 
the  Oregon  State  Highwa;  "department, 
has  been  appointed  assistant  bridge

to  assist  Mr.  Miller  in  the  supervision 
of  bridge  construction  in  the  field  and 
will  have  direct  charge  of  certain  por- 
tions  of  this   work.

THE  OBSERVER 

WHAT  HE  HEARS  AND  SEES  ON  HIS  ROUNDS 


Therf  are  now  in  the  United  States, 
according  to  the  Federal  Bureau  of 
Public  Roads,  a  total  of  2,819,386  miles 
of  rural  highways.  As  nearly  as  it 
is  possible  to  determine,  the  mileage 
of  the  various  types  of  pavement  is  as 
follows:  Gravel,  175,000  miles;  maca- 
dam, 100,000  miles;  sheet  asphalt,  as- 
phaltic  concrete,  asphalt  block  and  as- 
phalt macadam,  30,000  miles:  Portland 
cement  concrete,  27.000  miles;  brick, 
stone-block  and  miscellaneous,  10,000 
miles.  Exclusive  of  sand  clay  roads, 
there  are  now  340,000  miles  of  paved 
highways.  Forty  thousand  miles  of 
paved  roads  were  constructed  last 
year.  The  construction  of  asphalt  roads 
during  1923  was  greatly  in  excess  of 
any  previous  year,  there  being  laid 
102,000,000  square  yards  of  asphalt 
paving  on  the  roads  and  streets  of  the 
country  compared  to  82,700,000  square 
vards  in  1922  and  68,000,000  square 
yards  in   1921. 


Southern  I'acific  and  Santa  Fe  llail- 
roads  have  filed  a  re.iuest  with  the 
Oakland  city  council  for  permission  to 
construct  spur  tracks  and  build  ware- 
houses and  industrial  plants  on  an 
area  of  150  acres  of  reclaimed  land  on 
the  western  waterfront  at  Oakland. 
The  move  is  characterized  by  the  Oak- 
land council  as  "one  of  the  most  im- 
portant   in    the    city's    history." 


Proposed  new  schedule  to  establish 
joint  through  rates  on  cedar  lumber 
and  shingles  from  North  Pacific  Coast 
group  points  to  Southern  destinations 
have  been  suspended  by  the  Interstate 
Commerce  Commission  from  August  5 
to  December  3.  The  proposed  now  rates 
would  be  generally  higher  than  the 
existing   combination    rates. 


C.  D.  LeMaster  ot  Fresno,  snark  of

labor  bureau  for  collection.  Approxi- 
mately $54,000  of  the  debts  is  rep- 
resented by  secured  and  unsecured 
claims. 


Bids  will  be  asked  shortly  by  the 
Alameda  County  Supervisors  to  repave 
and  widen  E-Fourteenth  street  from 
the  Hayward  city  limits  to  Laurel 
Ave.,  Oakland,  a  distance  of  one  and 
one-half  miles.  The  work  is  estimated 
to  cost  $100,000.  The  improvement 
will  be  the  fir.st  unit  of  a  four-mile 
project. 


Heavy  building  this  fall,  particularly 
In  peninsula  and  Northern  California 
interior  sections,  is  the  prediction  of 
Henry  E.  Tweed,  manager  of  the  fac- 
tory-cut products  department  of  the 
National  Mill  and  Lumber  Company.  An 
unprecedented  number  of  inquiries  has 
been  received  during  the  past  month,

pany has  been  authorized  by  the  In- 
terstate Commerce  Commission  to  con- 
struct 112  miles  of  railroad  in  Chelan, 
Kittitas  and  Benton  counties,  Wash. 


The  Alturas  Lumber  &  Box  Company 
at  Alturas,  Modoc  County,  has  com- 
menced operations  with  a  force  of  25 
men.  The  company  was  organized  six 
months  ago,  with  a  capital  stock  of 
$30,000,  most  of  which  was  .subscribed 
by  Alturas  business  men.  The  com- 
pany has  over  1,000.000  feet  ot  lumber 
stored  in  its  yards  and  orders  foi"  be- 
tween forty  and  fifty  carloads  of

The  Industrial  Accident  Commission 
announces  that  in  the  fiscal  year 
ending  June  30,  1924,  the  Construction 
Division  of  the  Safety  Department  of 
the  Commission  made  1875  inspections 
against  1705  inspections  made  by  the 
same  Division  in  the  preceding  fiscal 
year.  The  number  of  men  employed  on 
the  construction  work  covered  by  these 
inspections  in  the  last  fiscal  year  was 
37,369.  In  the  previous  fiscal  year  the 
number   of  employees  covered  was   21,- 


Criminal  action,  in  place  of  the  cus- 
tomary civic  action  against  unscrupu- 
lous building  contractors,  will  feature 
a  six  months  campaign  to  be  launched 
September  1  by  the  Los  Angeles  Build- 
ers' Exchange  to  protect  home  builders 
in  Los  Angeles,  it  is  announced  by 
Paul  Langworthy,  exchange  secretary. 
The  motive  of  the  campaign  is  to  drive 
from  the  city  contractors  who  absorb 
payments  of'  home  builders  and  then 
fail  to  pay  material  bills,  permitting 
liens   to   accrue  against   the  owners. 


A  Los  Angeles  motion  picture  com- 
pany has  filed  protests  with  the  Tuol- 
umne County  Board  of  Supervisors 
against  paving  the  main  street  of  the 
town  of  Columbia,  the  pioneer  mining 
town,  on  the  grounds  that  such  a  step 
not  only  would  ruin  the  village  as  a 
location  for  motion  picture  production, 
but  would  be  a  desecration  to  a 
"magnificent  monument  to  California's 
glorious  birth." 


September  22  is  date  set  by  San  Ma-

Vt  a  district   meeting   of   the    Ameri- 

V  Association  of  Engineers,  held  in 
Sam  Francisco  recently,  R.  B.  Taplin 
"f  Long  Beach  was  made  chairman  of 
.1  coinmittee  to  draft  a  model  building 
ecide    for    the    state. 

At  the  present  time  the  building  code 
I'f  the  di-fferent  cities  differ  so  much  it 
was  deemed  advisable  to  draft  a  code 
that  would  meet  the  requirements  of 
'  ach  city  and  apply  to  all. 

The  chairman  announces  appoint- 
ments to  this  committee  is  complete 
with  the  exception  of  Los  Angeles  and 
Honolulu.  The  personnel  of  the  com- 
mittee  to  date:

with  the  policy  that  the  study  of 
I  rades  should  be  given  attention  by 
I  he  city's  educational  forces  as  well 
as  the  study  of  more  aesthetic   things.

Three  days  of  fun,  frolic  and  frivolity 
will  be  the  theme  of  the  fifth  annual 
session  of  the  Builders'  Exchange  at 
Casa  Del  Rey.  Aug.  30  to  Sept.  1, 
inclusive.  There  will  be  SOME  busi- 
ness transacted  between  "acts"  of  the 
"greatest  show  on  earth"  that  will 
rouse  the  residents  of  Casa  Del  Rey 
from  their  summer  lethargy. 
■  Yea  brethren  it  will  be  SOME 
r'ARTV.  "The  Builders'  Road  Show" 
is  now  busily  engaged  {in  rehears- 
als and  they  promise  to  rock  that 
train  with  laughter  and  merri- 
ment. "Sandy"  Pratt's  stone  and  gravel 
crushers  will  have  nothing  in  the  way 
of  noise  that  the  "Road  Show"  can't 
go  one  better.  Then  the  now  famous 
"Builders'  Exchange  Follies  of  1924" 
will  make  life  worth  while  at  Santa 
Cruz.  Each  night  promptly  at  midnight 
this  great  aggregation  of  stars  will 
strut  their  paces  and  guarantee  to 
crack  your  sides  with  laughter  with 
their  merry  jests  and  quips  at  the  ex- 
pense of  various  members  of  the  Ex- 
change. And  this  is  not  all.  There 
won't  be  time  for  sleep  judging  by  the 
great  program  arranged.  Every  day 
there  will  be  entertainment  features. 
There  will  be  a  treasure  hunt  for  the 
children  led  by  Captain  Kidd  and  his 
brigands;  there  will  be  a  great  water 
carnival  headed  by  King  Neptune,  and 
the  greatest  array  of  shapely  mermaids 
ever  gathered  on  this  coast  will  strive 
to  outdo  the  Atlantic  City  beauty 
revue.  There  will  be  sports  for  fat 
men  and  thin  men,  for  young  ladies 
and  old  ladies,  for  strenuous  boys  and 
studious  boys  and  one  of  the  greatest 
contests  of  the  sessions  will  ba  the 
ever  to  be  remembered  "nial  driving 
contest"  for  ladies  on  which  the  bet- 
ting will  be  two  to  one  on  the 
ladies  fingers  and  against  the  nail. 

The  commtltee  of  industrious  indus-

CHICAGO      BUILDING    TRADES      ARE 
ENJOINED 


Judge  James  H.  Wilkerson  recently 
issued  in  the  federal  court  temporarj 
injunction  restraining  the  Interna, 
tional  Brotherhood  of  Electrical  Work- 
ers Local  No.  134  and  a  number  of 
other  unions  from  interfering  with  the 
Western  Union  Telegraph  Company. 
The  case  arose  out  of  a  general  strike 
called  on  the  Illinois  Merchants'  Trust 
Building  when  the  telegraph  company 
employed  non-union  labor  for  the  in- 
stallation of  call  boxes  and  ticker 
wires.  The  written  decision  handed 
down  by  Judge  Wilkerson  declared: 
"Broadly  speaking.  any  American 
citizen  has  the  right  to  quit  work 
whenever  he  chooses,  unless  in  quit- 
ting work  he  is  furthering  a  criminal 
conspiracy.  The  crime  in  this  case  is 
in  going  to  work  with  the  understand- 
ing which  is  part  of  the  conspiracy, 
and  later  quitting  worlt  in  furtherance 
of  that  conspiracy." 


The  mystery  has  been  solved!  At 
last  the  true  facts  relative  to  the  story 
which  has  been  bothering  contractors 
at  meetings  during  the  last  few 
months,  have  been  unearthed.  W.  B. 
Summersett,  president  of  the  Columbia, 
South  Carolina,  General  Contractors' 
Association,  has  announced  his  success- 
ful sleuthing  of  the  problem  as  to 
how^  the  defunct  builder,  who  by  en- 
ergy, persistence,  undeviating  attention 
to  business  and  a  legacy  of  ?99,999.50, 
managed  to  leave  an  estate  of  $100,000. 

By  personal  efforts,  unassisted  by 
Gasto  B.  Means,  Mr.  'Summersett  has 
discovered  where  the  other  fifty  cents 
came  from.  Uncontrovertible  evidence 
points  to  the  fact,  according  to  this  in- 
vestigator, that  this  hitherto  unac- 
counted for  halt  dollar  was  made  by 
peddling   sub-bids.

CONCRETE  WORK  AT  WILSON  DAM,  MUSCLE  SHOALS^ 


By    R.    I'.    Bj-own,    t'onstnirtion    Eiigiiii-or 


National    Lime    Association 


The  work  now  under  way  at  Muscle 
Shoals,  which  is  on  the  Tennessee 
River  near  the  towns  of  Florence  and 
Sheffield,  Ala.,  is  of  particular  inter- 
est at  this  time.  Likewise,  the  con- 
crete work  at  the  dam,  commonly 
known  as  the  Wilson  Dam,  is  of 
special  interest  to  engineers,  architects 
and  contractors,  because  of  the  high 
class  of  workmanship  and  the  results 
secured  under  all  conditions. 

Before  discussing  the  concrete  work 
in  particular,  it  will  be  interesting  to 
note  some  of  the  salient  features  of 
the  project.  The  development  of  Muscle 
Shoals  and  the  construction  of  the  Wil- 
son Dam  was  undertaken  by  the  Gov- 
ernment early  in  1918  in  connection 
with  the  manufacture  of  nitrates  for 
munitions  in  time  of  war  and  fertiliz- 
ers in  peace  times. 

The  project  was  assigned  to  the 
U  S.  Engineer  Corps  and  the  design 
for  the  dam  was  prepared  under  the 
direction  of  Colonel  Hugh  L.  Cooper, 
who  was  in  active  service  when  the 
project  was  inaugurated.  The  construc- 
tion was  undertaken  by  the  govern- 
ment, using  hired  forces.  Due  to  the 
magnitude  of  the  work  a  special  dis- 
trict was  created  and  at  present  Lt^ 
Col.  George  Spalding,  U.  S.  District 
Engineer,  Florence  District,,  has  direct 
charge  of  all  construction  for  the  Gov- 
ernment. The  Hugh  L.  Cooper  &  Co. 
organization  now  have  charge  of  all 
design  and  inspection  work  in  connec- 
tiqn  with  the  dam.  These  two  organiza- 
tions are  working  in  complete  har- 
mony and  will  soon  complete  the  larg- 
est concrete  project  in   the  world. 

Tlie  Sia:*  ol  tlie  Project.— The  total 
length  of  the  composite  structure,  or 
Wilson  Dam,  is  about  4500  ft.  The 
power  house  section  of  the  dam  abut- 
ting the  south-shore,  is  1,250  ft.  long; 
the  dam  proper,  or  spillway  section, 
extends  from  the  north  end  of  the 
liower  house  to  the  lock,  and  is  3,050 
ft.  long.  The  lock  section  extends  from 
the  dam  to  the  north  shore,  200  ft. 

The  power  house  unit,  1,250  ft.  long, 
160  ft.  wide  and  134  ft.  high,  will  house 
18  turbine  generators.  Four  of  these 
units  will  produce  30,000  h.p.  each, 
while  the  other  14  units  will  each  de- 
liver 35,000  h.p.,  making  available  a 
total  of  600,000  h.p.  when  the  project 
is  complete.  This  will  be  equivalent  to 
approximately  700,000  kilowatt  hours 
of  primary  power  per  year  and  1,490,- 
000,000  kilowatt  hours  of  secondary 
power  per  annum. 

From  the  river  bed  to  the  crest  of 
the  dam  or  spillway  it  is  95  ft.,  while 
the  total  height,  from  foundation  to 
operating  bridge,  is  140  ft.  The  base 
of  the  dam  is  105  ft.  thick,  the  design 
being  of  the  gravity  type. 

Conerete  Required — The  accompany- 
ing chart  presents  a  striking  illus- 
tration of  the  comparative  size  of  this 
dam,  the  powerhouse  section  alone  con- 
taining nearly  half  again  as  much  con- 
crete as  does  the  Roosevelt  Dam  in 
Arizona,  which  structure  is  of  consid- 
erable   size    and    importance. 

The  lock  section  will  require  ap- 
proximately 76,600  cu.  yd.  of  concrete, 
the  spillway  section  703,285  cu.  yd., 
and  the  powerhouse  section  requires 
511,500  cu.  yd.;  a  total  of  1,291,385 
cu.  yd.

miles  of  standard  gauge  railroad  and  a 
force  of  about  2,500  men  working  in 
3  shifts.  Three  central  mixing  plants 
supply  concrete  for  the  entire  job.  One 
plant  is  on  the  north  shore,  and  one  is 
on  the  south  shore  of  the  river,  while 
the  third  and  largest  mixing  plant  is 
located  near  the  center  of  the  work,  on 
Jackson's  Island.  The  north  and  south 
shore  plants  each  have  two  2-yd. 
mixers,   while  the  Jackson  Island  plant 


Proportions  are  based  on  the  voids 
in  the  sand  and  gravel,  the  coarse  ag- 
gregate being  tested  two  or  three  times 
during  each  shift,  or  from  six  to  nine 
times  a  day,  to  keep  the  mix  constant. 
Each  yard  of  concrete  crm tains  25  cu. 
ft.  of  gravel  or  stone  and  5  or  6  sacks 
of  cement,  the  amount  of  cement  de- 
pending upon  where  the  concrete  is  to 
be  used.  This  leaves  only  the  sand  sub- 
ject to  variation,  as  the  hydrated  lime 
is  constant  at  25  lb.  per  cu.  yd.  The 
mortar,  or  cement  and  sand  mixed,  is 
required  to  be  sufficient  to  fill  the 
gravel  voids  and  provide  an  excess  of 
15    per    cent.    Thus,    for    example,    in    a

uses  two  4-yd.  mixers.  These  mixers 
which  are  in  turn  handled  by  10  ton 
cranes.  Placing  forms,  concrete,  etc., 
requires  the  steady  use  of  10  full  circle 
10-ton  cranes.  Additional  mobile  equip- 
ment consists  of  12  locomotive  cranes, 
26  standard  gauge  locomotives,  79  box 
cars,  65  flat  cars,  15  gondolas,  and  60 
20-yd.  dump  cars. 

Proportioning  of  Concrete. — The  con- 
crete is  proportioned  by  volume,  the 
aggregates  coming  from  storage  bins 
into  measuring  hoppers,  and  thence  to 
the  charging  hopper.  The  largest  mix- 
ing plant  (two  4-yd.  mixers)  handles 
the  cement  in  bulk  and  the  hydrated 
lime  in  sacks.  In  the  two  other  plants 
it  is  more  convenient  to  handle  both 
the    cement    and    lime    in    the    original 


5-sack  batch  of  concrete,  using  ^the 
average  void  figures,  the  sand  is  com- 
puted as  follows: 

25  cu.  ft.  of  gravel  @  40  per  cent 
voids;    i.   e.,   10   cu.   ft.   of  voids. 

5   cu.    ft.  of  Portland  cement. 

X  cu.  ft.  of  sand  (3)  34  per  cent  voids. 

This  resolves  into  an  equation 
wherein  the  total  cement  (5  cu.  ft.) 
minus  the  cement  going  to  fill  the 
sand  voids  (.34X),  plus  the  sand  (x) 
equals  the  gravel  voids  (10)  plus  l.j 
per   cent    (1.5).    this   reduces   to 


.66  X  =  6.5. 
X  =  9.9. 


Therefore    the   cubic     yard 
ferred    to     will     require     2 
gravel,    9.9    cu.    ft.    of   sand 
Portland    cement    and    Vi!    sacl 
ot  hydrated  lime.

Using  the  void  assumptions  just 
noted  it  will  be  seen  that  a  5  sack 
batch  gives  a  nominal  mix  of  approx- 
imately 1:3:5,  while  a  6  sack  batch 
makes  an  approximate  nominal  mix  of 
1:1.4:4.2. 

.Mixing — In  the  2-yd.  mixers  the  con- 
crete is  mixed  for  a  minimum  of  2 
minutes,  and  in  the  4-yd  mixers  the 
time  is  2Vi  minutes,  If  the  sand  or 
gravel  happens  to  be  running  fine,  the 
time  of  mixing-  is  increa.sed,  an  in- 
spector being  on  the  job  at  all  times  in 
full  charge  of  the  mix.  A  2-yd.  batch 
of  concrete  requires  about  85  gal.  of 
water,  the  exact  amount  being  subject 
to  the  condition  of  the  sand  and  gravel. 
Too  much  water  will  cause  the  batch 
to  be  wasted  when  the  concrete  reaches 


the  point  where  it  should  be  placed; 
while  too  dry  a  batch  means  that  ex- 
tra labor  will  be  required  to  plact  it 
without  honeycombing. 

Determination    tvt    Consistency. — The 

control  of  consistency  is  strict  and  is 
both  novel  and  efficient.  All  laborers 
and  inspectors  connected  with  placing 
concrete  in  the  forms  are  furnished 
with  hip  boots  and  the  consistency  of 
the  concrete  must  be  such  that  a  man 
working  in  it  will  sink  not  less  than 
2  in.,  nor  more  than  10  in.  Inasmuch 
as  the  concrete  is  placed  to  a  depth  of 
from  4  to  6  ft.  in  the  forms  before  per- 
mitting it  to  harden,  it  will  be  seen 
that  this  requirement  is  rigid  indeed. 
Anyone,  therefore,  can  tell  at  a  glance 
whether    the    men    are    walking    about

on  the  top,  in  which  case  the  concrete 
in  too  dry,  or  whether  they  sink  to 
their  knees,  in  which  case  it  is  getting 
too  wet  for  best  results.  Honeycombing 
niiaiis  the  discharge  ot  the  Inspector 
on  the  section;  needless  to  say,  a  close 
cluck  is  kept  on  consistency  and  work- 
manship. 

Ilydmted  I/iiue  Added  to  the  Cun- 
erele. — Some  concrete  was  placed  dur- 
ing the  early  part  of  the  work  without 
the  addition  of  hydrated  lime,  but  difti- 
cully  was  encountered  with  segrega- 
tion in  the  buckets  and  during  dump- 
ing, consequently  the  concrete  was 
hard  to  place  satisfactorily  without 
aji  undue  amount  of  labor.  Tests  were 
conducted  on  various  materials,  which 
could  be  conveniently  and  economically 
4)btained.  Although  the  results  of  these 
tests  have  not  been  made  public  the 
use  of  hydrated  lime  is  significant.  At 
first  an  addition  of  2  per  cent  by  vol- 
ume was  used,  but  this  was  not  suffi- 
cient, and  on  Feb.  27,  1923,  the  addition 
was  raised  to  5  per  cent  by  weight,  or 
25  lb.  per  cu.  yd.  of  concrete.  With  this 
addition  of  hydrated  lime  the  concrete 
has  been  entirely  satisfatory,  and  an 
in.spection  of  the  work  shows  entire 
freedom  from  segregation,  honey- 
comljing,  etc. 

Careful  inspection,  good  workman- 
.ship  in  making  tlie  forms  and  in  spad- 
ing and  placing  the  concrete,  combined 
with  a  thoroughly  mixed  concrete  not 
subject  to  excessive  wetness  nor  segre- 
gation have  all  combined  to  give  sur- 
faces which  cannot  be  excelled,  and 
which  in  fact,  are  seldom  equalled.  The 
liydrated  lime  noticeably  increased  the 
workability  of  the  concrete  and  had 
no  deleterious  effect  upon  the  strength 
wlien   used   as    recommended. 

Form  worlt.  —  Designing,  building 
and  erecting  the  forms  presented  many 
unusual  problems  due  not  only  to  the 
shape  of  the  units,  but  also  the  size 
and  to  the  pressures  which  the  forms 
must  withstand.  The  pressures  are 
minimized  by  limiting  the  depth  of 
fresli  concrete  to  from  4  to  a  maximum 
of  6  ft.  At  least  three  days  must  inter- 
vene before  fresh  concrete  may  again 
be  placed.  Whenever  possible  the  forms 
are  built  at  a  central  plant  by  specially 
trained  workmen  and  are  there  assem- 
bled so  that  they  can  be  dismantled 
and  taken  to  the  job  in  units  as  re- 
quired. Some  of  the  curved  and  warped 
sections  used  particularly  in  connection 
with  the  power  house  construction  are 
excellent  examples  of  form  work.  It  is 
essential  that  the  finished  concrete 
surfaces  be  smooth  and  that  the  curves 
conform  exactly  to  the  design  other- 
wise the  smooth  flow  of  the  water  to 
and  away  from  the  turbines  would  be 
impaired  and  difficulties  hard  to 
remedy  would  result.  This  i-equires 
not  only  good  concrete,  but  carefully 
designed  and  well   built  forms. 

Careful  inspection  of  this  concrete 
reveals  no  sign  of  weakness,  which

Tests. — ^A  series  of  briquetes  is  made 
from  mortar  taken  from  the  concrete 
being  placed  each  day.  The  mortar  is 
rubbed  through  a  number  8  sieve,  elim- 
inating all  gravel,  and  the  briquettes 
prepared,  stored  and  tested  in  the 
standard  manner.  Aljout  every  five 
days  a  set  of  15  cylinders  is  made  from 
fresh  concrete  while  it  is  being  placed. 
Three  of  these  cylinders  are  tested  at 
14  days,  three  at  28  days,  three  at  3 
months,  three  at  6  months,  and  the  last 
set  at  1  year.  The  cylinders  are  filled 
in  three  layers,  tamping  with  a  bar 
only  enough  to  insure  uniformity.  They 
remain  undisturbed  for  two  days,  then 
are  taken  to  the  job  laboratory  where 
they  are  carefully  numbered  and 
packed  in  sawdust  and  shipped  to  the 
concrete  laboratory  at  the  Bureau  of 
Standards  in  Washington  for  breaking.

At  the  same  time  that  the  cylinders 
are  made  75  briquettes  are  prepared. 
These  are  stored  and  tested  at  the 
laboratory  of  the  Hugh  L.  Cooper  Co. 
on  the  job,  under  the  supervision  of  .J. 
C.  Evans,  Test  Engineer,  and  are  brok- 
en in  sets  of  five  in  the  followinsf 
ages:  7,  14  and  2S  days,  3,  6  and  I'i 
"HibnthS;  2,  3,  4,  5,  6,  7,  8,  S  and  10 
yfears. 

All  material  used  is  required  to  meet 
rigid  specifications,  and  the  laboratory 
tests  every  carload  of  cement  and  lime 
and  carries  on  a  series  of  check  tests 
on  the  sand  and  gravel.  Sufficient  stor- 
age space  is  available  on  the  job  to  in- 
sure that  untested  material  will  not  be 
used.  , 

The  concrete  test  results  presented 
here  with  indicate  the  character  of  the 
work,  as  it  will  be  noted  that  the  com- 
pressive strenth  is  well  up  for  the 
proportions  used  in  the  mix.  All  con- 
crete now  being  placed  contains  25  lb. 
of  hydrated  lime  per  cu.  yd.  (approxi- 
mately 5  per  cent  by  weight  of  the 
cement).

Technical  articles  describing  in 
tail  the  design  of  the  various  phases 
of  this  undertaking  have  been  pub- 
lished at  intervals  in  the  engineering 
press.  Many  ingenious  solutions  of  in- 
tricate problems  have  been  reached 
and  when  the  structure  is  complete,  it 
will  be  the  most  up-to-date  hydraulic 
power  In  the  world.  It  is  anticipated 
that  the  project  when  completed  will 
represent  the  highest  commercial  effi- 
ciencies and     lowest     operating     costs 


known   to  hydroelectric  engineering  at 
this  time.

LUMBER    SALES    HOLD    UP 


On  the  brink  of  success  and  Inde- 
pendence through  discovery  of  a  pro- 
cess for  making  marble  from  cement, 
perfected  after  many  years  of  weary 
toll,  death  reached  out  for  Charles  Nel- 
son, Oakland  nurseryman,  and  took 
with  him  to  the  grave,  the  secret  for- 
mula. 

Nelson  died  July  17  of  a  fractured 
skull,  received  three  weeks  before  dur- 
ing an  argument  with  another  man. 

Mrs.  Nelson  discloses  the  fact  that 
her  husband  had  perfected  the  process 
on  the  very  day  of  his  death. 

"I  have  found  a  way  to  eliminate  the 
air  holes,"  Nelson  told  his  wife.  "There 
Is  nothing  more  to  be  done.  It  is  per- 
fect." 

He  died  a  few  hours  later. 
Fate's  irony  snatched  from  the  world 
the  secret  which   was  developed  by   25 
years   of  heartbreaking   effort. 

Mrs.  Nelson  never  learned  the  pro- 
cess. "My  husband  taught  me  the  nur- 
sery business  and  that  kept  me  busy," 
she  said.  "I  conducted  the  business 
while  he  worked  on  his  process.  Sev- 
eral times  I  was  about  to  ask  him  the 
formula  but  something  always  inter- 
fered." 

E^xperts  have  declared  that  the  slabs 
of  colored  marble  which  lie  in  the 
nurseryhouse  in  the  Foothill  boulevard 
are  perfect.  The  gloss  and  grain  and 
the  texture  of  the  material  are  identi- 
cal with  high  grade  polished  marble. 
"There  was  only  one  thing  to  be 
overcome  and  that  was  the  presence  of 
air  holes  in  the  castings,"  Mrs.  Nelson 
explained.  "He  had  overcome  that  on 
the  day  of  his  death.  It  was  always 
my  husband's  dream  to  see  houses  and 
buildings  erected  from  his  cement  mar- 
ble. It  could  be  produced  for  half  the 
cost  of  genuine  marble." 


Lumber  production  and  sales  in  west- 
ern Washington  and  western  Oregon 
for  1924  up  to  August  1  were  nearly 
balanced,  according  to  a  bulletin  is- 
sued by  the  West  Coast  Lumbermen's 
association.  In  the  first  31  weeks  of 
the  present  year  the  cut  was  2,864,436,- 
981  feet  and  the  orders  totaled  2,830,- 
363,381   feet,   the  figures   showed. 


PIPE  EXPORTS  SHOW  GAIN 

DURING    FIRST    QUARTER 

Exports  of  tubular  products  and 
fittings.  Including  all  kinds  of  pipes, 
l.lp.-  fittings  and  Ix.il.-r  tulies,  gained 
56  per  cent  during  the  first  quarter 
of  the  current  year  as  compared  with 
the  corresponding  period  in  1923,  ac- 
cording to  the  foreign  commerce  de- 
partment of  the  United  States  Cham- 
ber of  Commerce. 

The  money  value  of  exports  of  this 
kind  reached  $8,229,000,  compared  with 
$5,265,000,  for  the  same  quarter  last 
year. 

Tubular  products  exported  in  the 
January-March  period  amounted  to 
150,000,000  lbs.,  or  46  per  cent  above 
the  quantity  shipped  abroad  during  the 
first   quarter  of  1923. 

In  the  first  quarter  we  exported  IS 
per  cent  more  small  construction  tools 
(axes,  saws,  augers,  bits,  hammers, 
hatches,  shovels,  spades)  also  metal 
working  and  pneumatic  portable  tools, 
than  during  the  corresponding  period 
last  year. 

During  the  same  period,  however,  in 
which  pipe  exports  were  gaining  over 
imports,  the  folliowing  appeared  In 
Engineering,  News-Record,  issu/e  of 
February  14,  p.  305:  "That  foreign 
cast-iron  pipe  has  entered  the  Ameri- 
can market  as  revealed  in  the  recent 
letting  of  a  contract  covering  48,000 
feet  of  c.  i.  pipe  for  the  water  depart- 
ment of  the  city  of  Pasadena,  Cal." 

The  contract  in  question  involved 
1000  tons  of  French  c.  i.  pipe  valued  at 
$50,788,  including  fittings,  which  price 
was  at  least  $6000  under  that  of  any 
of  the  American  makers  who  offered 
bids. 


CALIFORNIA  LEADS  IN  MOTOR  CARS 
SURVEY  SHOWS 


The  division  of  motor  vehicles  an- 
nounces that  the  number  of  cars  per 
capita  is  greater  in  California  than  in 
any  state  in  the  United  States,  there 
being  one  automobile  for  every  three 
and    two-tenths    persons    in    the    state. 

The  only  state  that  can  approach 
this  record  is  Iowa,  where  there  is  one 
automobile  to  every  four  and  three- 
tents  persons.  Nebraska  is  third  with 
four  and  eight-tenths  persons  to  each 
car. 

The  average  for  the  United  States  is 
7,2  persons  for  every  car.  In  com- 
parison with  California's  per  capita, 
Alabama  is  lowest  of  all  the  states, 
there  being  only  one  car  in  that  state 
to  every  eighteen  and  three-tenths 
people. 

Officials  of  the  division  of  motor 
vehicles  declare  that  California's  new 
record  in  automobiles  means  that  the 
entire  population  of  the  state  could  at 
any  time  be  taken  joy  riding  in  cars 
registered  here  and  there  would  be 
plenty  of  room  to  spare. 

Figures  were  released  recently 
showing  that  California  now  leads  the 
nation  In  number  of  cars,  having  top- 
ped the  state  of  New  York  by  about 
14  000.  For  the  12  months  period  from 
July  1,  1923,  to  July  1,  1924,  California 
showed  an  approximate  gain  of  250,000 
automobiles  and  trucks,  which  was  the 
best  showing  made  by  any  state.

WONDER        SCAFFOLD        WINS        AP- 
PROVAL  OF  ACCIDENT  COMMIS- 
SION 

After  several  w-eeks  investigation 
and  severe  safety  and  strength  tests 
the  Industrial  Accident  Commission  has 
passed  favorably  upon  the  application 
of  the  Steelform  Contracting  Company, 
and  has  granted  this  company  permis- 
sion to  use  throughout  the  State  of 
California  the  little  wonder  suspended 
scaffolding  machines. 

The  little  wonder  is  a  double  clutch 
box  machine  operating  on  steel  cables 
attached  to  outrigger  I-beams  and  is 
adapted  to  both  interior  and  exterior 
work  of  plasterers,  brickmasons  and 
similar  trades.  Little  wonder  machines 
are  covered  by  domestic  and  foreign 
patents,  the  validity  of  which  have  been 
sustained  by  the  United  States  Su- 
preme Court. 

An  installation  of  little  wonder  scaf- 
folding machines  is  now  in  evidence 
on  the  new  17-story  Pacific  Gas  & 
Eelctric  Building,  Market  and  Beale 
streets,    San   Francisco.

The.  1925  P.oad  Show  and  Convention 
o£  the  American  Road  Builders'  Asso- 
ciation will  be  held  at  Chicago  January 
.5  to  9,  inclusive.  C.  M.  Upham,  busi- 
ness director  of  the  Association,  an- 
nounces that  much  better  arrange- 
ments have  been  made  for  both  the 
.show  and  convention  than  in  any 
previous  ye-ar.s.  The  preliminary 
plans  also  are  already  as  far  along  as 
has  been  usual  at  a  much  later  date. 
Every  Indication  therefore  is  that  these 
two  big  annual  events  in  the  road 
building  industry  will  in  every  way 
eclipse   all   past   records. 

The  program  committee  which  will 
have  charge  of  the  convention  will  be 
headed  by  Prof.  T.  R.  Agg.  He  ex- 
pects to  have  the  organization  of  his 
committee  completed  soon.  Professor 
Agg  has  had  such  a  variety  of  ex- 
perience in  the  highway  field  that  he 
will  be  able  to  produce  a  well  balanced 
program  of  general  interest.  The  con- 
vention sessions  will  be  held  at  the 
Congress    Hotel. 

Nearly  17,000  square  feet  of  addi- 
tional floor  space  suitable  for  heavy 
exhibits  will  be  provided  at  the  Coli- 
seum. This  additional  space  is  being 
obtained  by  the  extension  of  the 
Coliseum  to  the  north.  The  present 
main  building  and  the  adjoining  build- 
ing which  have  been  used  in  the  past 
also  will  be  available.  There  will 
thus  be  room  for  more  and  better  ex- 
hibits   than    in    the    past. 

Additional  doors  for  bringing  in  the 
heavy  exhibits  also  have  been  arrang- 
ed. Plenty  of  time  to  get  the  exhibits 
into  the  buildings  further  will  be 
allowed  by  the  schedules  made  possible 
by  the  dates  of  the  show.  These  im- 
proved arrangements  coupled  with  the 
wonderful  success  of  the  last  two  road 
shows  insure  the  largest  and  best  in- 
dustrial machinery  exposition  ever 
seen  in   this  country. 

Application  blanks  for  space  in  the 
Road  Show  will  be  mailed  shortly  by 
Mr.  Upham  to  all  concerns  whose 
names  are  available.  Additional  blanlts 
may  be  obtained  by  addressing  him  at 
37  West  39th  Street,  New  Yort;  City. 

Committees  are  being  formed  to 
handle  the  annual  banquet,  hotel  ar- 
rangements, registration  and  various 
other  features.  The  plans  for  these 
features,  as  well  as  for  the  show  and 
convention,  will  all  be  arranged  long 
in  advance  of  what  has  been  customary 
in  previous  years.  With  greater  in- 
terest in  highway  building  than  ever 
before,  the  attendance  from  all  parts 
of  the  country  thus  is  certain  to  break 
the  remarkable  records  of  the  last 
show  and  convention.

Pacific    Coast    Building    For    July 

A  marked  recovery  in  Pacific  Coast  building  is  evidenced  by  an  analysis 
of  building  permits  issued  during  July  in  74  cities  comprised  in  the  Pacific 
Coast  section  of  the  national  Monthly  Building  Survey  of  S.  W.  Straus  &  Co. 
A  total  of  $38,603,212  in  building  permits  issued  in  these  cities  in  July  Is 
the  first  monthly  total  since  that  of  February  which  shows  an  increase  over 
the  preceding  month. 

This  figure  is  11%  greater  than  that  of  June  but  slightly  less  than  that  of 
last  July,  showing  that  building,  generally,  is  still  below  normal.  Eliminating 
the  predominating  figures  of  Los  Angeles,  however,  representing  30%  of  the 
Pacific  Coast  aggregate,  the  total  for  the  other  73  cities  shows  a  July  increase 
of  10%  over  June  and  of  11%  over  last  July.  This  gain  is  shown  in  Arizona, 
California,  Oregon  and  Utah  where  39  cities  show  gains  over  June,  36  show- 
gains  over  last  July  and  27  show  gains  over  both  previous  months. 

Los  Angeles  again  reports  a  substantial  increase,  as  It  did  in  June.  The 
July  total  of  $11,599,782  being  12%  greater  than  the  June  figures  which  were, 
in  turn  17%  over  those  of  May.  Although  this  is  23%  less  than  the  total  for 
last  July  it  is  43%  greater  tlian  that  of  July,  1922.  In  the  Los  Angeles 
metropolitan  area  15  municipalities  report  $15,621,585  for  July,  a  10%  increase 
over  June  but  a  20%  reduction  from  the  total  of  last  July. 

San  Francisco's  July  total  of  $3,988,466  is  2%  greater  than  the  June  figure 
23%  greater  than  that  of  last  July  and  31%  greater  than  the  total  for  July 
of  1922  In  the  San  Francisco  Bay  metropolitan  area,  12  municipalities  report 
a  July  total  of  $9,629,284,  which  is  17%  greater  than  for  June  and  317o  greater 
than  the  total  of  last  July. 

Seattle's  July  total  of  $2,061,110,  shows  a  slight  reduction  from  June  and 
a  51 7t,   reduction  from  last  July  but  a  32%   gain   over  July,  1922. 

Portland's  July  total  of  $2,048,145  shows  a  reduction  of  12%  from  the  June 
figure  but  a  gain  of  33%  over  last  July  and  a  loss  of  7%    from  July,   1922.

Specifications  for  asphalt,  coal-tar 
pitch,  and  rag  felts  for  use  In  the 
waterproofing  and  dampprooflng  of 
masonry  and  concrete  structures  have 
been  adopted  by  the  Federal  Specifica- 
tions Board,  and  will  serve  as  master 
specifications  for  government  purchases 
of  such  materials.  They  have  been 
pulilished  as  a  series  of  Circulars  of 
I  lie  Bureau  of  Standards.  Copies  may 
Jm-  obtained  for  5  cents  each  from  the 
Superintendent  of  Documents,  Govern- 
ment Printing  Office,  Washington,  D. 
C.  The  titles  and  numbers  are  as  fol- 
lows: 

Coal  Tar  Saturated  Rag  Felt  for 
Roofing   and    waterproofing  C   156. 

Coal  Tar  Pitch  for  Waterproofing 
and   Dampprooflng.  C    155. 

Asphalt  for  Waterproofing  and 
Dampprooflng,    C    160. 

Asphalt  Saturated  Rag  Felt  for  Roof- 
ing and  Waterproofing,  C  161. 

Asphalt  Primer  for  Roofing  and 
Waterproofing.    C    162. 

These  specifications  were  prepared 
by  the  technical  committee  on  bi- 
tuminous roofing  and  waterprtoofing 
materials  of  the  Federal  Specifications 
Board,  careful  consideration  being 
given  to  suggestions  received  from 
waterprooflng  contractors,  architects, 
engineers,  and  from  large  consumers  of 
the    materials    such    as    railroads. 

The  asphalt  and  coal-tar  pitch  speci- 
fied are  intended  to  be  used  either 
alone,  as  a  dainpproof  coating  for  con- 
crete, masonry,  etc.,  or  as  plying  ce- 
ments, respectively,  with  asphalt  and 
coal-tar  saturated  rag  felt  in  the  con- 
struction of  membrane  waterprooflng. 
The  asphalt  is  suitable  for  use  on 
railroad  bridges,  tanks,  retaining  walls, 
dams,  conduits,  foundations  of  build- 
ings, tunnels,  subways,  pools,  reser- 
voirs, etc.  The  coal-tar  pith  can  be 
used  on  similar  structures,  except 
where  excessive  vibration  occurs,  and 
where  the  temperature  in  service  Is 
likely  to  exceed  100  degrees  Fahrenheit 
These  speciflcations  are  considered 
fair  to  both  producer  and  consumer, 
and  are  expected  to  secure  products 
suitable  for  the  particular  conditions  of 
service  outlined  in  the  specifications 
and  to  allow  wide  latitude  in  the  selec- 
tion of  raw  materials  and  methods  of 
production.  They  cover  materials  that 
are  suitable  for  all  sections  of  the 
United  States  and  which  can  be  ob- 
tained upon  a  competitive  basis.  They 
give  the  physical  characteristics  of 
the  material  as  well  as  methods  of 
sampling  and  testing  deliveries.

"THERMOLITE"    HOUSES    US    RUSSIA 
LESSEN    BUILDING    COSTS 

Russia's  scarcity  of  living  accommo- 
dations and  the  high  cost  of  building 
material  have  forced  the  Soviet  author- 
ities to  experiment  in  the  construction 
of  what  are  termed  "thermolite" 
houses,  the  invention  of  a  Russian  en- 
gineer named  Peter  Galakhoff.  A 
thermolite  house  has  the  conventional 
framework  of  wood.  but  a  liquid 
material  of  heavy  consistency  (thermo- 
lite), composed  of  sawdust,  straw  and 
common  tree  leaves,  mixed  with  lime, 
plaster  and  antiseptic  solution,  is  in- 
terposed between  the  outer  and  Inner 
boards. 

W'he.n  this  mixture  becomes  hard, 
the  house  is  rendered  moistureproof,

Department  Circular  296  of  the 
United  States  Department  of  Agricul- 
ture treats  of  standard  grading  speci- 
fications tor  yard  lumber,  and  is  based 
on  information  gathered  during  four 
years  bv  the  United  States  Forest  Pro- 
ducts Laboratory.  The  text  of  the 
booklet  comprises  73  pages  of  tables  of 
weights  and  measures  of  lumber  of  all 
kinds,  tables  of  definitions  of  lumber 
defects,  lumber  definitions  and  abbrevi- 
ations, suggested  shipping  instructions, 
and  much  other  matter  of  value.  Fol- 
lowing the  text  are  22  pages  of  half 
tone  illustrations  of  lumber  defects 
that  are  an  invaluable  aid  to  an  under- 
standing of  the  text.  They  are  excel- 
lently printed  on  half  tone  paper. 
Copies  of  the  work  may  be  secured 
from  the  Superintendent  of  Documents, 
Government  Printing  Office,  Washing- 
ton,  D.   C,   for   20   cents   each. 

The  Lighting  Educational  Committee, 
680  Fifth  Ave.,  New  York  City,  has 
issued  a  booklet  announcing  a  national 
essay  campaign,  the  grand  prize  of 
which  is  to  be  a  $15,000  model  electric 
home.  The  booklet  urges  the  electrical 
interests  in  each  community  to  build 
and  exhibit  one  of  these  homes,  and 
explains  how  this  can  be  done.  The 
floor  plan  of  the  first  and  second  floors 
of  this  model  home  are  shown,  to- 
gether with  the  data  necessary  to  con- 
sider the  proposition.  According  to  a 
statement  in  the  booklet,  complete 
plans  and  specifications  can  be  obtain- 
ed from  the  Society  for  Electrical  De- 
velopment, 522  Fifth  Ave.,  New  York 
City,  for  $2.50.  Indications  have  been 
received  by  the  Lighting  Educational 
Committee  that  several  hundred  of 
these  homes  will  be  erected  in  the 
ITnited  States  and  Canada  during  the 
next  three  months. 


H.  E.  Warrington  and  C.  H.  Kromer, 
members  of  the  American  Society  of 
Civil  Engineers,  have  opened  an  office 
in  the  Underwood  Building,  San  Fran- 
cesco, under  the  firm  name  of  Warring- 
ton &  Kromer.  They  will  practice  civil 
and  structural  engineering,  including 
railroad  and  highway  bridges,  the 
structural  work  of  buildings,  wharves, 
dams  and  various  structures  for  water 
supply,   sewage   disposal  works,   etc. 

Mr.  Warrington  is  a  civil  engineer- 
ing graduate  of  the  University  of  Cin- 
cinnati, and  was  for  many  years  con- 
nected with  an  eastern  railway  system, 
as  Assistant  Engineer,  Principal  As- 
sistant Engineer  and  Chief  Engineer. 
He  came  to  California  some  fifteen 
years  since,  engaging  in  private  prac- 
tice in  Riverside,  subsequently  becom- 
ing Bridge  Engineer  for  Los  Angeles 
County,  where  he  remained  for  eight 
years,  when  he  was  appointed  Bridge 
Engineer  for  tl*  California  Highway 
Commission.  With  this  Commission  for 
four  years,  many  structures  were  de- 
signed under  his  direction,  their  total 
cost  approximating  $5,000,000.  These 
included  the  modern  maintenance 
shops,  warehouses  and  the  Testing 
Laboratory  building  of  the  Commis- 
sion at  Sacramento,  the.  bridges  over 
the  Rio  Hondo  at  Montebello.  across 
the  Big  Tujunga,  and  over  the  San 
Gabriel  River  on  the  Foothill  Boule- 
vard in  Los  Angeles  County:  the  bridge 
on  the  Crystal  Springs  Dam,  Skyline 
Boulevard,  San  Mateo  County;  the 
Feather  River  bridge  near  OroviUe  in 
Butte   County,   and   numerous   others   of 


•The  Concrete  Dope  Book."  fourth 
edition,  compiled  and  published  by 
W.  H.  Stewart,  Waterloo.  Iowa,  is  off 
the  press.  This  16-page  booklet  con- 
sists of  tables  of  "dope"  on  the  mixing 
and  the  handling  of  concrete  for  all 
classes  of  work,  and  of  brief  but  valu- 
able paragraphs  on  the  removal  of 
forms,  the  handling  of  sand  and  gravel 
with  wagons,  and  on  excavating.  On 
the  last  page  is  a  tabulation  of 
"don'ts"  for  the  contractor,  which 
forms  not  the  least  vaduable  part  of 
the  booklet.  The  illustrations  for  the 
"Dope  Book"  consist  of  representations 
of  various  kinds  of  Stewart  mixers. 

"Hydrated  Lime  Makes  Concrete 
More  Workable"  is  the  latest  bulletin 
of  the  National  Lime  Association.  The 
bulletin  is  based  on  the  worlv  done  at 
the  United  States  Bureau  of  Standards 
and  presents  in  simple  style  the  re- 
sults there  secured,  showing  conclu- 
sively that  hydrated  lime  materially 
improves  the  workability  of  concrete 
without  deleterious  effect  on  its  com- 
pressive strength.  A  graph  is  included 
to  show  the  effect  of  varying  amounts 
of  hydrated  lime  on  both  the  worka- 
bility and  the  strength  of  the  concrete 
mixes  most  frequently  used.  Copies  of 
this  bulletin  will  be  sent  free  on  re- 
quest to  the  National  Lime  Association.

The  Celotex  Company,  643  North 
Michigan  Ave.,  Chicago,  is  sending  out 
a  folder  telling  of  the  economies  of 
using  Celotex  in  building.  A  striking 
feature  is  two  colored  illustrations  that 
show  the  difference  between  the  work 
in  putting  6-inch  sheathing  on  a  wall 
and  in  putting  a  single  piece  of  Celo- 
tex on  the  same  area.  The  uses  of 
Celotex  as  sheathing,  as  a  plaster  base, 
as  roof  insulation,  as  exterior  finish, 
and  as  a  sound  deadener  are  discussed.

Mr.  Kromer  is  a  graduate  of  the  Uni- 
versity of  California,  Class  of  ia06.  For 
six  years  he  was  with  the  American 
Bridge  Company,  Pittsburgh  Division, 
in  the  bridge  and  structural  depart- 
ment of  that  corporation.  For  the 
past  twelve  years  he  has  been  with  the 
State  as  Assistant  and  as  Structural 
Engineer,  State  Department  of  Engi- 
neering, and  as  Chief  Structural  Engi- 
neer, Division  of  Architecture,  State 
Department  of  Public  Works.  The 
structural  plans  for  many  important 
public  buildings  were  prepared  under 
Mr.  Kromer's  direction,  including  the 
State  Armories  at  San  Francisco,  Los 
Angeles,  Sacramento  and  Stockton, 
various  State  hospitals,  prisons,  schools 
teachers'  colleges,  the  State  Printing 
Offices  at  Sacramento,  and  the  State 
Building,  Civic  Center,  San  Francisco, 
recently  completed.  These  latter  plans 
were  made  in  co-operation  with 
Messrs.  Bliss  &  Faville.  the  architects 
of  the  building. 

In  connection  with  his  work  in  the 
slate  engineering  departments,  Mr. 
Kromer  has  designed  the  necessary 
structures  for  water  supply  and  sewage 
disposal  plants  for  public  institutions, 
has  laid  out  and  checked  designs  for 
various  types  of  dams  and  for  mis- 
cellaneous structures  connected  with 
such   work. 

Mr.  Kromer  is  a  certified  member  of 
the  American  Association  of  Engineers. 
During  the  world  war  he  was  a  com- 
missioned officer  of  Engineers,  U.  S.  A.

CAPACITY 


During  the  month  of  June  AVestcrn 
Pine  Manufacturercs'  Association  mills, 
made  up  of  lumber  concerns  from 
Washington,  Idaho,  Oregon  and  Mon- 
tana, shipped  121,261,000  feet  of  lum- 
ber, according  to  reports  received  at 
Spokane.  This  constitutes  the  light- 
est June  shipments,  except  in  1921, 
since  1916.  In  May  shipments  totaled 
127,795,000  and  in  June,  1923,  138,805,- 
000. 

Shipments  for  the  first  half  of  1924 
totaled  779,914,000.  Last  year  and 
1920  alone  show  higher  shipments  for 
a    corresponding    period. 


Steel  operations  in  July  averaged 
aliout  44  per  cent  for  the  corporation 
and  33  per  cent  for  independents  or  38 
per  cent  for  the  industry  as  a  whole, 
the  lowest  rate  in  several  years.  In 
the  last  week  of  July  steel  schedules 
showed  an  upward  trend,  and  it  is 
likely  that  the  average  for  that  month 
will  represent  the  low  point  for  1924. 

Curtailment  of  steel  output  has 
been  rapid  since  the  end  of  March. 
This  was  due  chiefly  to  the  marked 
falling  off  in  demand  in  the  second 
quarter  of  the  year  when  buying  was 
purely  of  a  hand-to-mouth  character 
and  producers  adjusted  their  sched- 
ules to  meet  the  declining  volume  of 
orders.  This  prevented  the  accumula- 
tion of  excessive  stocks.  While  buy- 
ing of  steel  improved  in  July,  opera- 
tions continued  to  decline  in  the  first 
part  of  the  month  because  of  holiday 
shutdowns  and  uncertainty  that  the 
improvement   would  continue. 


TULARE      SEWER     PLAN     IS      HELD 
FAILURE  BY  ST-VTE  BUARU 


LUMBER     CONDITIONS     FAVORABLE 


Increased  lumber  sales  in  Spokane 
and  the  Pacific  Northwest,  together 
with  the  stiffening  of  prices  ?1  to  $2  a 
thousand  on  some  items,  point  toward 
a  revival  of  the  industry  in  the  fall 
and  winter.  The  lumber  business  is  re- 
covering from  a  summer  period  of  de- 
pression, brought  about  by  over-pro- 
duction.   Spokane    lumbermen    report. 

"Conditions  are  a  great  deal  better, 
or  at  least  I  have  found  them  so  in 
our  business,"  said  I.  N.  Tate,  of  the 
Weyerhaeuser  Sales  Company.  "Prices 
have  stiffened   in   some  lines." 


"The  Elrod  System  of  sewage  dis- 
posal in  Tulare  is  doing  good  work," 
Henry  Elrod,  sanitation  engineer  of 
Santa  Monica,  declared  in  answer  lo 
H.  F.  Goudey.  a  sanitation  engineer  of 
the  state  board  of  health,  who  told  the 
Tulare  Board  of  Trade  that  the  system 
was  unsatisfactory  and  a  failure. 

"The  demonstration  plant  was  never 
intende.d  to  produce  a  high  state  of 
purification,  but  was  simply  intended 
lo  reduce  the  solid  matter  to  such  a 
degree  that  the  water  could  be  used 
for  irrigation  without  causing  offense," 
Elrod    continued. 

Goudey  said  that  tests  made  at  the 
sanitary  mains  and  at  the  demonstra- 
tion plant  had  proved  the  system  a 
failure.  He  said  that  he  believed  the 
system  could  be  made  a  success  by 
supplying   more    air.

Dickey  Mastertile 
Walls  for  the 

Livermore  Hospital 


Once  again  the  United  States  Govern- 
ment has  chosen  Dickey  Mastertile  for 
important  hospital  construction. 

(1)  The  United  States  Base  Hos- 
pital at  Palo  Alto  was  constructed  of 
Dickey  Mastertile. 

(2)  The  United  States  Hospital  for 
disabled  war  veterans  at  Livermore  is 
now  being  constructed  of  Dickey  Mas- 
tertile. 

It  has  grown  to  be  a  well  established 
practice  of  the  Government  to  build 
hospitals,  barracks  and  similar  struc- 
tures of  hollow  tile.  This  material  has 
been  proven  by  the  Government,  in  its 


widely  scattered  and  varied  construc- 
tion, to  be  economical  and  to  permit 
speedy  erection.  It  gives  at  low  cost  the 
highest  degree  of  protection  against  fire 
and  decay.  It  minimizes  upkeep  cost. 
Its  dead  air  spaces  insulate  the  interior 
against  the  heat  of  summer,  the  cold  of 
winter,  moisture  and  sound,  affording  a 
dry,  quiet,  healthful  and  comfortable 
building. 

These  same  qualities  make  Dickey 
Mastertile  ideal  for  schools  and  all 
types  of  construction  where  fire-safety, 
permanence  and  economy  are  im- 
portant.

STANDARDIZE  ON  WHITCO  HARDWARE  FOR  CASEMENTS  AND  TRANSOMS

Whitco  Casement  Hardware  _ 

Helps  Solve  Architects'  Problems        \^^ 


This  standard  product  not  only  takes  the  place  of  butts  and  adjusters,  but  offers 
the  most  practical  and  effective  means  yet  devised  for  instalhng  and  controlhng 
casement  windows  and  transoms 
As   the  illustration 


shows,  Whitco  Hard- 
ware is  a  simple,  self- 
contained  unit.  One 
size  fits  all  sash  and 
meets  every  type  of  in- 
stallation, from  a  single 
sash  or  a  pair  of  sash, 
to  a  wide  opening  con- 
taining multiple  sash 
without  mullions. 
Makes  an  equally  per- 
fect method  of  con-      ^ 

trolling  transoms. 

There    is    no    assembling   of   hardware 

parts;  a  set  consists  of  two  pieces,  one 

for  the  top  and  one  for  the  bottom  of 

the  casement  sash— one  for  each  side  of 

transoms. 

Each  set  (equipment  for  one  case- 
ment sash  or  transom)  with  install- 
ing instructions,  is  packed  in  a  neat 
carton  1"  x  1"  x  8". 

V/e  shall  be  glad  to  send  f-.'ll  hiforn; 


NOTE  THESE  DNUSOAL  FEATURES 
Makes  sash  self-adjusting 
No  hinges  or  adjusters  are  required 
Cannot  rattle 

All  hardware  entirely  concealed 
No  special  sash  or  frame  detail  required 
One  size  fits  all  sash 
May  be  installed  to  swing  to  right  or  left 
Outside  of  sash  easily  washed  from  in- 
side of  room 
Easily  appUed  to  old  or  new  windows 
Easy  to  operate 
Equally  effective  for  transoms 
It  is  inexpensive — and  the  price  is  right 


Special  hardware  fin- 
ishes are  entirely  elimi- 
nated, as  the  hardware 
is  concealed. 
No  special  sash  or 
frame  detail  is  required. 
The  price  is  right. 
Through  standardiza- 
tion and  quantity  pro- 
duction, Whitco  Hard- 
ware is  sold  at  a  figjure 
which  makes  it  feasible 
for  you  to  take  full  ad- 
vantage of  the  archi- 
tectural possibilities  of  the  casement 
window— for  small  houses  as  well  as  for 
large  homes— at  a  cost  well  below  that 
of  any  workable  installation  of  butts  and 
adjusters.

Remixes  Concrete 

When  materials  have  passed  through  mixing  process 
once,  and  come  to  discharging  side  of  the  dnom, 
the  reversed  discharge  chute  sprays  them  back  to 
the  charging  side  for  repeated  trips  through  the  5- 
action,  remixing  process.  This  spraying-showering 
action,  at  the  same  time  prevents  separation  of  aggre- 
gate according  to  size.  To  the  last  shovelful  of  every 
batch,  Koehring-mixed  concrete  is  uniform,  re-mixed 
concrete — dominant  strength  concrete — and  to  every 
last  casting  and  bearing,  the  Koehring  is  the  heavy 
duty  mixer  of  trouble-proof,  long  service  life.

luit    to    get    down    to    figures    in    the 

:.v   District.      The   total   bank   deposits 

to   .June    30,    of    1924    for    San    Fran- 

■  1,   Oakland   and   Berkeley  were   $1,- 

l,ti69.038.     In  1923  the  deposits  in  the 

Ihree  cities  mentioned  were  $1,181,316,- 

738 — the   tremendous   gain    of   $130,352,- 

300.      Thts   increase    is   far   in    excess  of 

any  other  section  of  the  State. 

The  increase  in  Los  Angeles  bank 
deposits  up  to  June  30,  1924,  was  $32,- 
632,776.  The  deposits  in  the  agricul- 
tural sections  of  the  State  for  1924  up 
to  June  30  were  $665,686,182  which  is 
a  substantial  increase  over  the  figures 
for  the  same  1923  period,  and  are  proof 
that  the  "back  country"  of  the  state  is 
en.ioying  the  same  prosperity  as  pre- 
vails in  the  seaport  towns. 


ni.scussine  output  of  cement  in  its 
/■elation  to  business  and  labor  employ- 
ment, "The  Index,"  jiublished  by  the 
New   York  Trust  Co.,  says: 

'•Portland  cement,  as  one  of  the  basic 
commodities  to  he  considered  in 
gauging  the  course  of  business,  pre- 
sents an  interesting  exception  to  the 
general  feeling  of  hesitancy  which  has 
been  more  or  less  prevalent  in  other 
basic  lines.  Government  statistics  for 
June  and  the  first  six  moths  of  this 
year,  compiled  by  the  Geological  Sur- 
vey, record  a  production  for  the  month 
exceeded  only  by  May.  and  for  the 
period  in  excess  of  even  last  year, 
during  which  output  for  the  year 
rea^ched  its  maximum. 

"Shipments  for  June  were  the  great- 
est on  record,  and  for  th<i  period  only 
slightly  less  than  in  the  first  six 
months  of  1923.  This  is  in  rather  sharp 
contrast  with  steel,  lumber,  copper  and 
other  commodities. 

"The  significance  of  the  present  data 
relating  to  cement,  however,  lies  in  the 
fact  that  May  is  barometric  of  the 
year's  trend  for  this  commodity,  and 
can  be  regarded  as  indicative  of  the 
volume  of  the  full  year's  trend  for  this 
commodity,  and  can  be  regarded  a.s 
indicative  of  the  volume  of  the  full 
year's   manufacture   and   consumption. 

"This  is  so  because  usage  of  cement 
is  such  that  requirements  must  be  an- 
ticipated well  in  advance,  and  ordinari- 
ly contracts  for  building  and  road  work 
to  be  carried  on  during  the  year  are 
well  in  hand  by  the  end  of  May. 

"Even  if  the  extraordinary  output  of 
1923  should  not  be  exceeded  ana  there 
should  be  a  reduction  of  10  per  cent 
this  year,  1924  would  still  be  a  year  of 
noteworthy  activity,"  declares  "The 
Index."  "Its  relation  to  employment  of 
common  labor  in  road  construction  and 
of  both  common  and  skilled  labor  in 
building  and  other  construction  also 
enables  the  cement  industry  to  shed 
some  light  on  what  may  be  expected  in 
these  fields."

■WEATHER  TESTS  OF  WIRE 

SCREENS    PLAN    OF    STANDARDS 

BUREAU 


Tests  to  determine  the  relative  re- 
sistance to  atmospheric  corrosion  of 
wire  screens  of  different  metals  are 
planned  by  the  Bureau  of  Standards  of 
the  Department  of  Commerce  in  co- 
operation with  the  American»  Society 
for  Testing  Materials.  The  metals  to 
be  included  in  the  sets  are  copper, 
commercial  bronze,  low  brass,  alumi- 
num bronze,  silicon  bronze,  and  Am- 
brac  metal.  All  materials  will  be 
tested  in  the  form  of  Standard  No.  16 
mesh  screens. 

The  screens  will  be  exposed  to  the 
weather  in  four  locations:  an  inland 
location,  an  industrial  center,  a  sea- 
coast,  and  a  tropical  seacoast.  The 
cloth  of  each  material  will  be  exposed 
on  a  painted  frame  that  will  with- 
stand the  weather.  Three  types  ot 
frame  will  be  used;  12x12  inch  wooden 
frames,  30x36  inch  wooden  frames,  and 
30x36  inch  metal  frames.  The  tests 
will  be  made  in  co-operation  with  the 
manufacturers  of  the  materials.  The 
Bureau  of  Mines,  the  Bureau  of  Light- 
houses, and  the  Panama  Canal  will  co- 
operate with  the  Bureau  ot  Standards 
in  making  the  exposure  tests. 


Merrltt  C.  Vaughn,  former  Oakland 
contractor,  has  been  arrested  in  Los 
Angeles.  His  arrest  follows  the  is- 
.suanue  against  him  last  January  of  a 
secret  indictment  by  the  federal  grand 
jury.- 

Vaughn  was  found  working  as  a  car- 
penter in  a  suburb  ot  Los  Angeles,  and 
will  be  returned  to  Oakland  for  trial. 

In  1922  Vaughn  was  awarded  the 
contract  by  Alameda  county  for  the 
new  $480,000  Highland  Hospital.  The 
hospital  contract  proved  to  be  a  losing 
venture,  and,  before  it  became  known 
to  the  public  that  his  creditors  had 
filed  involuntary  petitions  in  bank- 
ruptcy against  him,  Vaughn,  it  is  al- 
leged, realized  on  all  his  assets  and 
disappeared. 

A  warrant  on  the  county  treasurer 
for  $45,000  was  drawn,  and  he  with- 
drew the  balance  on  his  bank  account 
before  leaving,  according  to  evidence 
placed  before  the  department  of  justice. 

Vaughn's  brothers,  Aza  V.  and 
Wylie  T.  Vaughn,  who  are  named  as 
co-defendents  in  the  indictment,  be- 
came involved  when  Vaughn  transferr- 
ed to  them  all  the  equipment  being 
ii.scd  in  the  construction  of  the  High- 
land   hospital. 

The  government  investigators  claim 
they  ascertained  that,  before  leaving 
the  city,  Merritt  Vaughn  had  paid  cer- 
tain promissory  notes  amounting  to 
$27,000,  and  that  when  he  left  he  had 
about  $30,000. 

Following  Vaughn's  disappearance 
the  county,  county  officials,  and  the 
Globe  Indemnity  Company,  security 
bondsmen  for  Vaughn,  were  made  de- 
fendants by  contractors  and  material 
dealers  in  suits  to  recover  amounts 
they  alleged  were  owed  to  them  by 
Vaughn. 

It  was  necessary  that  the  building 
of  the  hospital  be  completed,  and  so,  in 
order  to  protect  itself,  the  county 
awarded  to  the  Globe  Indemnity  Com- 
pany the  remainder  of  the  contract  for 
the  sum  of  $153,344.  This  sum  repre- 
sented the  difference  betweeji  the 
amount  ot  the  original  contract  and 
the  money  already  paid  Vaughn.  The 
hospital  is  still  in  the  process  of  con- 
struction. 


SAND    AND    GRAVEL     SOLD    IN    1923 


The  sand  and  gravel  sold  in  the 
United  States  in  1923  amounted  to  139,- 
932.153  short  tons  and  was  valued  at 
$90,903,651,  according  to  reports  made 
by  the  producers  to  the  Department  of 
the  Interior  through  the  Geological 
Survey.  These  figures  show  an  in- 
crease ot  about  48  per  cent  in  quantity 
■and  41  per  cent  in  value  over  those 
for  1922.  There  was  a  general  increase 
in  both  the  quantity  and  the  value  of 
all  classes  of  this  material  sold  except 
in  the  value  for  filter  sand.  A  special 
canvas  of  railroad  companies  wa^s  made 
in  1923  in  order  to  obtain  more  com- 
plete reports  of  non-commercial  ma- 
terial used  by  them,  and  the  figures  ob- 
tained make  up  in  part  the  large  in- 
crease (146  per  cent)  shown  in  the 
quantity  of  gravel  usd  for  railroad 
ballast.  The  sale  of  sand  and  gravel 
for  use  in  the  construction  of  buildings 
and  pavements  also  showed  a  large  in- 
crease. The  figures  for  1923  include 
returns  obtained  from  2428  sanJ  ar.d 
gravel  plants,  which  Is  4  43  more  than 
the  number  represented  by  the  figures 
for  1922.

California,  wliich  leads  the  world  in 
automobile  registration,  is  also  the 
•■black  spot"  in  high  percentage  ol 
automobile  fatalities,  accordmg  to 
figures  compiled  by  the  statistical  de- 
partment of  one  of  the  leading  life  in- 
surance companies,  says  Percy  E. 
Towne,  chairman  of  the  public  safety 
department  of  the  California  State 
Automobile  Association.  These  fig- 
ures, according  to  Towne,  compiled  on 
a  basis  of  fifteen  million  policy  holders 
in  the  United  States,  disclose  the  fact 
that  California  leads  the  nation  with 
a  record  of  25.8  deaths  per  100,000  as 
a  direct  result  of  automobile  accidents. 
New  York  state,  which  led  California 
in  1923,  the  year  covered  by  the  rec- 
ords, in  total  number  of  motor  vehicles 
registered,  has  a  record  of  only  17.5 
deaths  per  100,000,  while  Ohio  and 
Pennsylvania,  next  in  order  in  point 
of  registration,  had  19.1  and  17.1  re- 
spectively. Michigan,  sixth  in  the 
order  of  states  in  total  registra- 
tion, was  second  to  California  in  the 
percentage  of  fatalities,  with  20.6  per 
100,000.  The  average  for  the  United 
States  as  a  whole   was   16.4. 


Los  Angeles  building  permits  for  the 
first  13  days  of  August,  1924,  show  a 
decided  increase  over  permits  tor  the 
.same  period  last  month.  Valuation  of 
1648  permits  issued  during  the  first  13 
days  of  August  is  $4, .'582, 764,  as  com- 
pared with  1364  permits  and  a  total 
valuation  of  $3,807,735  tor  the  same 
pericd  of  July,  this  year.  Compared 
with  same  period  of  August.  1923,  the 
total  was  $8,687,969  with  2364  permits 
issued,  and  1512  permits  issued  in  the 
same  period  of  .July,  1923.  with  a  valu- 
ation of  $4,163,675.  The  total  for  the 
current  vear  to  date  is  32,948  permits, 
with  a  valuation  of  $95,011,284,  making

trict from  interfering  with  the  non-

up  the  situation.  The  threatened 
liuilding  slump  that  was  freely  predict- 
ed on  all  sides  early  in  the  year  failed 
to  materialize.  The  Association  re- 
ports that  there  is  an  unusually  good 
demand  for  brick,  which  is  generally 
an  indication  that  there  is  no  slump 
in  the  construction  industry.  The 
lirick  manufacturers  are  optimistic 
over  the  outlook  for  the  lialance  of  the 
yijar.

IIIOHWVY       SIDKPATHS      PROPOSED 
TO   PREVKNT  ACCIDEXTS 

Why  should  people  walking  along 
our  highways  be  compelled  to  walk  in 
the  path  of  a  trackless  locomotive? 
This  is  the  question  that  is  agitating 
many  who  use  American  highways — 
from  the  motorist  who  rounds  a  curve 
to  find  in  his  path  a  number  of  chil- 
dren returning  home  from  the  country 
school,  to  the  country  lad  who  has  to 
use  the  highway  in  getting  to  the  cow 
pasture  and  the  suburbanite  who  walka 
over  it  to  make  a  call  upon  a  neighbor. 
In  certain  sections  of  America  the 
rural  towns  are  so  close  together  and 
the  population  is  so  dense  that  the 
country  roads  are  used  constantly  by 
pedestrians  for  lack  of  sidewalks. 
This  is  true  particularly  of  all  the 
New  England  states  and  New  York, 
New  Jersey,  Pennsylvania,  Delaware. 
Maryland  "and  other  states.  In  New 
Jersey  at  the  present  time  the  matter 
of  constructing  sidepaths  along  the 
highways  is  being  seriously  agitated 
as  the  result  of  numerous  accidents  to 
pedestrians  on  the  highways.  The 
State  Highway  Department  has  given 
conisderable  thought  to  the  proposition 
and  it  is  not'  improbable  that  the  State 
Legislature  will  authorize  the  depart- 
ment to  undertake  the  construction  of 
side  paths  along  some  of  the  principal 
highways  at   least. 

Resolutions  were  recently  adopted  by 
the  New  Jersey  Association  of  County 
Engineers  recommending  passage  by 
the  New  Jersey  Legislature  of  a  law 
authorizing  the  laying  of  sidewalks 
along  all  state  and  county  roads  and 
authorizing  condemnation  of  property 
for  the  purpose  where  there  is  in- 
sufficient width.  It  is  proposed  that 
the  act  be  not  mandatory  but  that  it 
give  discretionary  powers  to  the  boarris 
of  county  commissioners  with  resped 
to  county  roads  and  to  the  State  High- 
way Commission  where  state  highways 
are  involved.  In  New  Jersey  the 
proposition  has  been  welcomed  by 
motorists  and  pedestrians  as  well  as 
public  officials.

Spanish  style  about  a  central  garden,  or  patio,  filled  with  palms,  shrubs  and  flowers.  It  contains  lux- 
urious appointments  and  all  the  features  and  refinements  of  the  modern  fireproof  metropolitan  hotel 
of  300  rooms.  Casa  Del  Rey  is  on  the  Southern  Pacific  Railroad  line.  It  can  also  be  reached  over

n  Feary,  chairman  of  the  Builders" 

ange  Committee  is  full  of  pep  and 
'  omniittee  is  bacKing  him  to  the 
1  for  the  event.  The  four  previous 
lies"  of  the  builders,  the  first  two 
ig  Basin  and  the  last  two  at  Capi- 


tola,  were  all  voted  "some  parties,"  but 
the  coming  event  at  Santa  Cruz,  ac- 
cording to  Feary,  will  easily  surpass 
the  others. 

"We  were  never  offered  such  facili- 
ties for  our  outing  as  Santa  Cruz  holds 
out  to  us,"  said  Bill  Feary  yesterday. 
"First  of  all  Santa  Cruz  is  within  easy 
machine  drive  of  the  city.  Then  the 
hotel  accommodations  are  excellent  and 
the  rates  the  best  possible,  and  when 
these  rates  are  backed  by  the  Chamber 
of  Commerce  of  Santa  Cruz  we  know 
we  are  going:,  to  get  what  we  are 
guaranteed.  The  grbat  ball  room  has 
been  turned  over  to  us  entirely  and  as 
there  is  a  stage  fully  equipped  our 
world-famed  "Builders  Follies  of  1924" 
will  be  able  to  spread  themselves  to 
the  limit.  Our  entertainment  com- 
mittee   will    have    plenty    to    offer    out- 


side the  Follies,  and  the  kiddies  and 
the  ladies  will  be  fully  catered  to.  The 
Casa  Del  Rey  Hotel  will  be  the  head- 
quarters. These  facts  are  enough  to 
warrant  a  record  breaking  crowd  of 
you  builders  going  over  the  week  end 
to  Santa  Cruz." 

Special  arrangements  are  being  made 
at  Santa  Cruz  to  handle  the  big  build- 
ers party.  The  Chief  of  Police  is  work- 
ing with  the  Chamber  of  Commerce  to 
assure  plenty  and  proper  automobile 
accommodation  and  parking  and  a 
special  set  of  "rules  of  the  road"  are 
being  worked  out  for  the  special  bene- 
fit of  the  Builders'  Day. 

The  Mayor  of  Santa  Cruz  has  a  citi- 
zens' Committee  working  and  the  sea- 
side city  will  be  prepared  to  welcome 
and  entertain  and  house  everyone  who 
desires  to  make  the  trip.  Those  going- 
are  urged  to  make  immediate  applica- 
tion for  rooins.  The  committee  will 
handle  all  these  details  for  you,  simply 
let  the  committee  know  you  want  ac-

Chas. 
general  contractor 
California  State  Builder 
has  issued  the  following  announcement 
requesting  the  attendance  of  every  ex- 
change in  California,  at  the  Annual 
Builders'    Day   festival: 

•We  are  living  in  the  days  of  or- 
ganized effort  and  the  results  that 
have  been  accomplished  in  the 
Building  Business  during  the  last 
few  vears  have  proved  conclusively 
that"it  pavs  to  organize,  and  par- 
ticularlv  in  the  case  of  San  Fran- 
cisco, where  since  1920  when  the 
\merican  Plan  became  effective, 
large  building  operations  have  be«n 
consumated  at  lesser  costs  than 
formerlv.  thereby,  encouraging  the 
owners '  to  invest  more  freely  in 
buildings  and  making  more  busi- 
ness  for  the  contractors. 

"The  records  show  that  the  July 
1924,  building  permits  for  San 
Francisco  amounted  to  nearly  four 
millions  of  dollars  or  about  24% 
more  than  July  1923  and  was  the 
largest  total  for  any  July  since  the 
Are    of    1906.  ,         , 

"That  the  building  interests  of 
the  whole  State  should  be  welded 
together  has  been  the  aim  of  the 
vsriter  since  1920,  who  at  that  time 
organized  the  State  Builders'  Ex- 
change, and  though  the  results  to 
date  have  not  been  100%  mainly 
because  many  of  the  (7iiies  AVt-rt- 
tied  up  by  agreements  with  the 
Vnions,  vet  it  has  been  possible 
to  maintain  the  present  organiza- 
tion, and  by  an  educational  effort 
of  the  leaders  in  this  movement  it 
can  be  made  a  success. 

"A  meeting  of  the  State  Builders 
Exchanges  has  been  called  at  Santa 
Cruz  for  August  30-31  and  Septem- 
ber 1st.,  and  every  exchange  should 
be  represented  and  take  an  active 
part  in  the  proceedings." 


WAGE  S(  AI-RS  FOR  SKII-bED 

WORKERS    HOLD   FIRM 

Nothwithstanding  the  general  slow- 
ing up  of  business  within  recent 
months  and  the  tendency  of  building 
activities  toward  more  normal  condi- 
tions in  many  parts  of  the  country 
wage  scales  for  skilled  craftsmen  are 
generally  holding  firm,  according  to  a 
national  building  labor  survey  made  by 
S.  AV.  Straus  &  Co.  The  building  labor 
situation  is  summed  up  as  follows: 

1.  Practical  disappearance  of  com- 
ni<>n  labor  shortage  and  a  more  plenti- 
ful  supply  of  skilled    labor. 

2.  Increased  wage  scales  in  many 
large  cities,  although  bonuses  seem  to 
be  disappearing  and  common  labor  has 
accepted  some  reductions  In  some  lo- 
calities. 

3.  Numerous  strikes  in  various 
cities  which  have  interfered  with  the 
progress  of  the  building  program  dur- 
ing the  summer. 

i.  Increased  dependence  upon  ap- 
prenticeship training  schools  to  supply 
the  annual  reriuirements  of  some  35,- 
000   workers. 

"The  general  trend  of  l»uildin'g  ■wages 
is  still  upward.  although  in  a  few 
smaller  cities  there  has  been  a  pre- 
ceptiblc  tendency  to  reduce  wages  of 
skilled  craftsmen."  says  the  survey. 
"The  payment  of  bonuses  seems  to  be 
tlisappearing  generally  and  common 
labor,  of  which  there  is  now  a  plenti- 
ful supply,  has  accepted  some  reduc- 
tions in  some  localities.  High  wage 
records  have  been  attained  during  the 
past  six  months  in  many  cities  and 
employers  in  some  cities  have  organiz- 
ed a  bitter  fight  against  further  in- 
creases." 


The  office  boy  had  made  a  slight  mis- 
take, and  his  boss  was  now  finishing  a 
long  tirade  on  his  general  inefficiency. 
"You're  a  fine  kind,  you  art^!"  he  howl- 
ed. "Here  I've  taught  you  ever.vthing 
I  know  and  still  you  don't  know  any- 
thing:"— Malteaser. 


The  organization  movement  has 
always  had  a  strong  champion  in 
the   person   of  Secretary  of  Com- 
merce.   Hoover.      Mr.    Hoover   has 
repeatedly    urged    that    business 
men      in   every      line      should      be 
thoroughly     organized.       One     of 
the  functions  of  organization  ac- 
cording   to     the    Secretary    is     to 
eliminate     evil     practices     in     in- 
dustry.     Mr.    Hoover   in    a   recent 
statement  said,  "The  question  we 
need  to  consider  is  whether  these 
rules    and    regulations    are    to    be 
developed    solely   by    government 
or    whether    they    cannot    be.    in 
s.-me    part   developed   out   of   vol- 
untary  force-s   in   the   nation.     In 
o:her      words,     can      the      abuses 
which  give  rise  to  government  in 
business    be     eliminated   by      the     ^ 
svstematic    and    voluntary    action     n 
of  business   itself?     A  great  deal     ^ 
of  legislation  is  due  rather  to  the    g 
inability   of   business    hitherto    to     V 
so  organize  as  to  correct  abuses     i 
than    to    any    lack    of    desire    to     X 
have   it  done.     Legislative  action     A 
is  always  clumsy — it  is  incapable    fi 
of   adjustment    to   shifting   needs,     g 
It   often    produces   new    economic     V 
currents  more  abusive  than  those     I 
intejided   to    be   cured.     The   vast    X 
tide  of   these    regulations   that   is     A 
sweeping  onward  can   be  stopped     g 
if  it   is   possible   to  devise   out   of    g 
the    conscience  and    organization    2 
of       business      itself,      those      re-     X 
straints    which    will    cure    abuse,     ft 
eliminate  waste,  and  prevent  un-     A

EMPLOYERS    WIN    MORE    VICTORIES 
THAN    EMPLOYEES 


Out  of  S.081  strikts  on  which  ac-

1923  inclusive,  employers  won  4,23, 
and  employees  3,844  according  to  the 
U.  S.  Department  of  Labor.  From 
1916  to  1918  the  victories  won  by  em- 
ployees were  in  the  majority.  The 
pendulum  then  swung  the  other  way 
and  during  the  next  four  years  em- 
ployers were  credited  with  the  most 
•wins."  In  1921  employers  won  701

The  book  was  written,  says  the  author.

style  and  the  circumstances  under 
which  it  was  developed.  David  McKay

IXCOME     TAX     RILING     ON     SALARY 
FOR    CONTR.\CTORS 


Salaries  paid  the  general  officers  of 
a  contracting  company  must  be  de- 
ducted in  the  year  in  which  they  are 
paid  or  accrued,  and  cannot  be  defer- 
red until  completion  of  contracts  even 
though  the  return  is  prepared  on  a 
completed  contract  basis,  by  an  im- 
portant income  tax  ruling  just  handed 
down  by  the  Committee  on  Appeals  and 
Review,  according  to  M.  L.  Seidman, 
tax  expert,  of  Seidman  &  Seidman, 
certified  Public  Accountants. 

The  question  arose  in  the  case  of  a 
contracting  corporation  that  had  con- 
sistently made  out  its  income  tax  re- 
turns on  the  basis  where  the  profit  on 
any  contract  was  not  determined  until 
the  contract  was  completed.  In  one  of 
the  years  when  the  contract  was  still 
under  way,  it  paid  its  general  officers 
a  certain  salary.  As  none  of  the  con- 
tracts were  completed  in  that  year  it 
had  no  income  to  offset  against  the  of- 
ficers' salaries,  and  it  claimed  the  right 
to  take  the  deduction  in  the  year  when 
the  contracts  were  completed  and  the 
profit   on    them   reported. 

It  was  held  by  the  Committee,  Mr. 
Seidman  explained  that  if  the  officer 
devoted  his  time  during  any  one  year 
to  any  particular  contract,  the  pro- 
portionate amount  of  his  salary  could 
be  regarded  as  a  cost  of  completing 
the  contract,  and  claimed  as  a  deduc- 
tion in  the  year  in  whicli  the  contract 
was  completed.  However,  in  the  case 
of  general  officers  whose  services  are 
used  in  connection  with  the  business  of 
the  company  as  a  whole,  and  not 
definitely  in  connection  with  tiie  com- 
pletion of  any  particular  contract,  the 
salaries  paid  such  officers,  the  com- 
mittee held,  can'  be  deducted  only  in 
the  year  in  which  they  are  paid  or  ac- 
crued. 

"This  ruling  is  of  extreme  impor- 
tance," Mr.  Seidman  Ideclared,  "be- 
cause of  its  general  application.  It 
would  apply  not  only  to  deductions  for 
officers'  salaries,  but  also  to  such  gen- 
eral items  as  depreciation,  rent,  etc."

Remixes  Concrete 

When  materials  have  passed  through  mixing  process 
once,  and  come  to  discharging  side  of  the  drum, 
the  reversed  discharge  chute  sprays  them  back  to 
the  charging  side  for  repeated  trips  through  the  5- 
action,  remixing  process.  This  spraying-showering 
action,  at  the  same  time  prevents  separation  of  aggre- 
gate according  to  size.  To  the  last  shovelful  of  every 
batch,  Koehring-mixed  concrete  is  uniform,  re-mixed 
concrete — dominant  strength  concrete — and  to  every 
last  casting  and  bearing,  the  Koehring  is  the  heavy 
duty  mixer  of  trouble-proof,  long  service  life.

Conslruution  of  new  roads  in  Cali- 
fornia must  come  to  a  complete  stand- 
still unless  the  next  Legislature  ap- 
proves some  financial  plan  to  provide 
the  State  Highway  Commission  with 
additional  funds.  This  fact  is  made 
known  by  H.  J.  Brunnier,  chairman  of 
the  Good  Roads  Bureau  of  the  Califor- 
nia State  Automobile  Association  on 
ihe  receipt  of  a  preliminary  report 
from  A.  E.  L,oder,  highway  engineer  of 
the  Association,  who  is  also  a  member 
of  the  State  Highway  Committee  ap- 
pointed by  the  Governor  to  Investigate 
California's   highway   problem. 

By  virtue  of  the  three  bond  issues 
and  by  legislative  enactments  the 
total  pcrsent  mileage  in  the  state 
highway  system  is  64811  miles.  Of  this 
2(185  miles  have  been  paved  by  the 
state  and  364  miles  by  counties,  while 
an  additional  1241  miles  have  been 
graded  and  graveled  by  the  state  or 
forest  road  projects,  leaving  a  total 
mileage   yet   unimproved   of   27a0   miles. 

The  total  made  available  to  the 
slate  highway  department  by  the  three 
bond  issues  for  highway  construction 
was  $73,00n,0U(l.  The  last  three  mil- 
lion of  these  bonds  w^is  sold  in  June, 
1924.  The  small  unexpended  balance 
from  the  total  bond  issues  will  be  re- 
iiuired  to  pay  for  contracts  now  under 
way,  and  it  is  a  fact  that  all  bond 
funds  are  practically  exhausted  or  ob- 
ligated by  going  contracts. 

Since  UHe  there  has  been  made 
available  to  the  state,  up  to  and  in- 
cluding the  fiscal  year  ending  June 
30  1925,  a  total  of  Federal  Aid  funds 
amounting  to  $17,093,307.  To  August 
19,  1924.  the  state  has  received  from 
this  Federal  Aid  on  completed  pro- 
jects ?10,121,199.95,  leaving  a  credit  to 
the  state  from  this  source,  which  will 
in  due  time  come  to  the  state  in  small 
amounts,  totalling  $6,972,107.05.  This 
last  credit  of  Federal  Aid  funds,  how- 
ever, will  be  received  very  slowly  by 
the  state  over  a  period  of  several  years. 


•The  day  labor  system  breeds 
dangerous  politics,  encourages  inefBc- 
iency,  lowers  construction  standards, 
develops  extravagance,  decreases  pro- 
duction, destroys  individuality  and  lets 
loose  that  spirit  of  disloyalty  to  duty 
which  notoriously  during  the  war 
spread  like  a  plague  over  the  whole 
world,"  said  a  speaker  at  the  recent 
Associated  General  Contractors'  Chi- 
cago convention.  He  continued:  "We 
all  need  the  spur  of  competition.  We 
all  need  to  feel  the  pressure  of  definite 
responsibility.  We  all  need  the  re- 
wards of  individual  initiative  and 
effort.  America's  splendid  and  amazing 
career  fairly  rests  on  that  foundatioTi. 

"Listen  to  the  words  of  the  dis- 
couraged prophet  of  day  labor  and 
communism.  Leon  Trotsky,  as  they  ap- 
peared recently  in  The  Literary  Digest: 
'Our  nationalized  industries,  even  those 
working  under  exceptionally  favorablo 
auspices  and  well  equipped,  all  are 
working  at  a  loss.  Our  administrators 
and  directors  are  not  real  masters  who 
attend  to  every  little  detail,  who  watch 
everything,  who  save  every  minute  of 
time  and  every  cent  of  money,  who 
work  day  and  night  caring  for  the 
needs  of  our  plants.' 

"The  same  false  theory  upon  which 
day  labor  rests  has  lienumbed  the  great 
soul  of  Russia,  and  not  even  her  vast 
resources,  greater  than  our  own,  will 
restore  her."

weekly  reports  on  production  and  ship- 
ments on  over  100  mills  for  the  first 
thirty-two  weeks  o£  the  past  five 
years  are  follows: 

Production  Shipments

1923     3,140,675,035  3,389,126,170

1920     2,515,578.328  2.239,495,842 

From  the  above  it  will  be  observed 
that  production  for  thirty-two  weeks 
in  1924  was  6  per  cent  less  than  for 
the  same  period  in  1923;  14.71  per  cent 
greater  than  in  1922;  90.05  per  cent 
greater  than  in  1921,  and  17.38  per  cent 
greater  than  in  the  first  thirty-two 
weeks  of  1920. 

Orders,  thus  far  this  year,  have  been 
8.47  per  cent  less  than  in  1923;  14.23 
greater  than  in  1922;  77.93  per  cent 
greater  than  in  1921,  and  47.02  per  cent 
greater  than  in  the  first  thirty-two 
weeks  in   1920. 

Shipments,  thus  far  this  year,  have 
been  8.10  per-  cent  less  than  in  1923; 
22.38  per  cent  greater  than  for  same 
period  in  1922;  87.10  per  cent  greater 
than  in  1921.  and  39.08  per  cent  greater 
than  in  the  first  thirty-two  weeks  of 
1920. 


Six  million  dollars  ha.s  been  spent  in 
the  construction  of  416  miles  of  paved 
and  improved  highways  in  Fresno 
county,  according  to  Chris  P.  Jensen, 
Fresno  county  surveyor. 

The  construction  of  a  highway  sys- 
tem for  Fresno  county  was  commenced 
in  1919,  from  funds  derived  by  a  bond 
issue  in  the  sum  of  four  million  eight 
hundred  thousand  dollars.  This  sura 
has  been  increased  to  a  round  total  of 
six  million  dollars  by  the  levying  of 
a  special  tax  of  40  cents  in  each  of  the 
two    fiscal    years    1922    and    1923. 

The  program  is  now  practically  com- 
pleted and  a  total  of  416  miles  of  high- 
way has  fallen  under  the  influence  of 
the  money  expended.  With  respect 
to  types  of  construction,  the  total  of 
416    miles   is   segregated  as   follows: 

Thirty  miles  of  five  inch  hydraulic 
base  supporting  a  one  and  one-half 
inch  warrenite  surface,  at  an  average 
cost  of  $27,700  per  mile  of  pavement,  16 
feet  wide,  with  seven  foot  shoulders 
on  each  side. 

One  hundred  sixty-five  miles  of  five 
inch  asphalt  concrete  base  and  surface 
at  an  average  cost  of  $20,800  per  mile 
of  pavement  16  feet  wide  with  seven 
foot  shoulders  on  each  side. 

Twenty  miles  of  four-inch  asphaltic 
concrete  base  and  surface  at  an 
average  cost  of  $16,000  per  mile  of 
pavement  16  feet  wide  with  seven  foot 
shoulders   on    each   side. 

Sixty-six  miles  of  oiled  gravel  ma- 
cadam at  an  average  cost  of  $8,400  per 
mile  of  pavement  16  feet  wide  with 
seven   foot   shoulders   on   each   side. 

One  hundred  thirty-five  mile  tourist 
roads  widened,  drained  and  otherwise 
improved,  including  six  miles  of  new 
highway  reducing  a  23  per  cent  grade 
to  an  8  per  cent  grade,  at  an  average 
cost  of  $2,400  per  mile. 

Incidental  to  highway  construction, 
four  hundred  thousand  dollars  has  been 
spent  for  the  construction  of  bridges 
and  culverts,  and  three  hundred  thous- 
and   dollars    for    overhead. 


LUMBER    BUSINESS    EXPANDING 


Expanding  demand  and  strengthen- 
ing prices  form  the  basis  of  reports 
from  practically  all  lumber  producing 
territorities,  says  the  "American 
Lumbermen."  Advices  from  Southern 
pine  manufacturing  centers  state  that 
wood,  which  showed  a  big  pick-up  im- 
mediatefy  following  July  4,  continues 
to  broaden,  and  that  bookings  are  ap- 
proximately normal  and  considerably 
in  excess  of  production. 

A  considerably  stronger  tone  features 
also  the  Douglas  fir  market.  While 
demand  has  increased  only  moderately, 
the  curtailment  of  production  from  the 
high  levels  maintained  some  months 
ago  has  been  radical,  especially  all  the 
interior  mills,  which  depend  almost  ex- 
clusively on  rail   business. 

Eastern  and  Middle  Western  in- 
quiries meanwhile  are  increasing  in 
volume,  indicating  a  brisker  trade  in 
the  late  summer  and  fall.  Export  de- 
mand for  fir  remains  approximately 
normal,  but  the  domestic  margo  mar- 
kets are  generally  characterized  as 
dull. 

Hardwood  producers,  both  in  the 
N'orth  and  South,  report  a  decided  ex- 
pansion  in   demand  for   their   product.

THE  OBSERVER 

WHAT  HE  HEARS  AND  SEES  ON  HIS  ROUNDS 


Three  acres  of  land  have  been  pur- 
chased in  Forty-fifth  street,  between 
Watts  and  Hollis  streets.  Emeryville, 
on  which  Hubbard  &  Company,  elec- 
trical manufacturers  of  Pittsburgh, 
Pa.,  plans  to  erect  a  plant  costing 
$250,000.  The  plant  will  employ  about 
250  men  at  the  outset  specializing  in 
turning  out  pole-line  equipment.  The 
Hubbard  Company  is  a  $40,000,000 
concern.  R.  L.  Kerschner  will  be  the 
district  manager  of  the  Oakland  plant. 
The  first  unit  of  construction  will  be  a 
craneway,  60  by  100  feet,  an  assembly 
building  and  wareliouse.  Later  an 
administration  building  will  be  erected. 
Spur  tracks  are  now  being  constructed 
at  the  site  by  the  Southern  Pacific 
Company. 


The  movement  designed  to  call  to  the 
attention  of  the  building  public  the  ad- 
vantages of  winter  construction  was 
recently  given  an  added  impetus  by  the 
United  States  Department  of  Com- 
merce. The  Department  in  a  carefully 
worded  press  release  urged  that  build- 
ing be  made  a  year  round  industry. 
The  report  was  given  wide  publicity  by 
the  newspapers  of  the  country,  and  if 
this  appeal  is  closely  followed  up  by 
local  contractors  associations  it  will 
not  be  long  until  the  industry  will  not 
be  faced  with  the  usual  seasonal  in- 
activity. 


The  position  of  painting  contractors 
in  opposing  the  restrictive  rules  of  the 
painters'  union  has  been  strengthened 
as  a  result  of  a  recent  ruling  by  a 
federal  court.  On  July  14th.  Federal 
Judge  E.  S.  Thomas  at  New  Haven, 
Connecticutt,  ruled  that  the  union  by- 
law, that  requires  an  outside  contrac- 
tor to  pay  the  rate  in  effect  in  his 
home  city  if  it  is  higher  than  the  local 
scale,  constitutes  unjust  discrimina- 
tion. Judge  Thomas  further  refused 
to  dismiss  the  injunction  brought  by 
J.  J.  Hass,  Incorporated  of  New  Jersey 
against    ^he   painters'    local   union.

ORDINANCES  REQIURE.S 

PLUMBERS'   BOND 


An  ordinance  requiring  master 
plumbers  and  persons  engaged  in  the 
business  of  plumbing  to  register  and 
give  bond  has  been  passed  by  the  city 
of  Burbank,  Calif.,  and  is  now  in  effect. 
The  registration  fee  is  $75.  A  bond  of 
$1000  is  required  to  guarantee  owners 
that  work  will  be  done  in  accordance 
with  city  ordinances.  Violation  of  the 
ordinance  is  punishable  by  fine  of  $10 
to  $300,  or  imprisonment  for  not  more 
than  3  months,  or  both. 


The  National  Hoard  for  .Jurisdictional 
Awards  in  the  Construction  Industry 
held  the  shortest  session  in  its  history 
when  it  met  at  Washington,  1).  C.,  on 
Monday,  August  4th. 

The  following  cases  were  the  only 
ones  scheduled  for  hearing 

Reinforced  Concrete,  Cement  and 
Floor  Construction.  (Disputants  Iron 
Workers,   Laborers  and  Lathers). 

Concrete  Slab  Reinforced  (precast) 
for  Roof  Tiling  (Contestants  Brick- 
layers and   Roofers). 

The  first  case  was  settled  originally 
in  a  decision  rendered  by  the  Board  on 
March  11,  1920,  at  which  time  the 
placing  of  steel  used  for  reinforcement 
in  reinforced  concrete,  cement  and  floor 
construction  was  awarded  to  the  Iron 
Workers. 

The  Associated  General  Contractors 
of  America  petitioned  the  Board  to  re- 
open the  case,  at  the  meeting  held  in 
I'ittsburgh.  Pa.,  on  February  18,  1924. 
This  request  was  granted  and  the  re- 
hearing scheduled  for  the  meeting  just 
held  in  Washington. 

A  number  of  general  contractors  ap- 
peared before  the  Board  and  gave  their 
reasons  why  they  wanted  the  reinforc- 
ing rod  (luestion  opened  up.  However, 
inasmuch  as  none  of  the  unions  involv- 
ed were  present  at  the  hearing,  the 
Board,  in  executive  session,  decided 
that  action  on  the  matter  should  be 
deferred    until   the   next   meeting. 

The  second  case  relative  to  precast 
concrete  slabs  was  also  deferred  until 
the  next  meeting  on  account  of  the 
absence  of  one  of  the  contestants. 

In  continuation  of  a  policy  recently 
adopted  to  conduct  meetings  of  the 
Board  in  some  of  the  more  important 
cities  of  the  country  in  order  that  those 
in  the  industry  might  get  a  better  idea 
of  how  it  operates,  it  was  decided  to 
hold  the  next  meeting  in  St.  Louis  the 
week  beginning  Monday,  December  8, 
1924. 

The  Board  revised  its  constitution  by 
eliminating  the  name  of  the  National 
Association  of  Builders'  Exchanges  as 
one  of  its  constituent  members,  since 
that  organization  never  qualified  for 
membership. 

The  Board  unanimously  re-elected 
the  following  officers  for  the  ensuing 
year.  Chairman  Rudolph  P.  Miller  of 
New  York,  representing  the  Federated 
American  Engineering  Societies;  Vice 
Chairman  John  Coffleld  of  Chicago,  rep- 
resenting the  Building  Trades  Depart- 
ment of  the  American  Federation  of 
Labor;  Secretary  Wm.  J.  Spencer  of 
Washington,  D.  C.  representing  the 
Building  Trades  Department  of  the 
American   Federation   of  Labor. 


PLASTERING    BY   THE   ANCIENTS 


<'ourscs  in  Blueprint  Reading,  liotb 
elementary  and  advanced,  are  to  be 
given  again  liy  the  Extension  Division 
beginning  early  in  September.  The 
elementary  class  consists  of  eight  two- 
hour  meetings  under  the  instructorship 
of  Mr.  Grover  C.  Poison.  Head  of  the 
Drawing  Department  of  McClymonds 
High  School,  Oakland.  "This  course  is 
"f  particular  interest."  said  Poison,  "to 
contractors,  machinists,  electricians, 
carpenters,  builders,  and  others  who 
find  it  necessary  to  use  blueprints  in 
their  everyday  work."  Subjects  which 
will  be  covered  will  include  the  prin- 
ciples of  drawing;  plans,  elevations, 
and  sectional  views;  scales  and  pro- 
portioning of  drawings;  symbols; 
tracings  and  blueprints;  detail  draw- 
ing; sketches  from  blueprints;  the  use 
of  blueprints  in  the  shop;  individual 
interi)retation  of  blueprints.  The  last 
two  or  three  meetings  of  the  class  will 
be  devoted  to  individual  instruction  in 
reading  simple  blueprints  delating  to 
various  phases  of  building  construc- 
tion. This  course  meets  in  Room  263 
Pacific  Building  and  begins  Thursday, 
September    4th    at    7    P.    M. 

The  advanced  course  emphasizes  the 
reading  of  blueprints  as  applied  to 
Imilding,  cabinet  making,  shipyard 
work,  pattern  making,  carpentry  and 
other  branches  of  the  building  trades. 
It  is  open  only  to  those  who  have  com- 
pleted the  elementary  course  in  blue- 
print reading,  or  to  those  who  have 
experience  which  is  equivalent.  The 
course  also  consists  of  eight  two-hour 
meetings  and  is  to  be  held  on  Wednes- 
days, beginning  September  3rd,  in  the 
Extension  room  of  the  Sutter  Hotel, 
Kearny  and  Sutter  Streets. 

Registration  for  these  classes  are 
now  being  received  at  140  Kearny  St., 
the   Office   of   the  University   Extension. 


William  Millar,  who  examined  frag- 
ments of  early  Egyptian  plaster  and 
stucco,  found  that  its  base  was  lime, 
and  that  it  was  practically  three-coat 
work.  It  was  about  three-quarters  of 
an  inch  thick,  haired  and  finished  as  is 
done  now.  When  used  on  partitions,  it 
was  laid  on  reeds,  which  were  lac«d 
together  with  cords  to  serve  as  lathing. 
The  ancient  Greeks  made  extensive  use 
of  lime  stucco,  one  rather  famous  ex- 
ample, the  Temple  of  Appollo  at  Bassae, 
dating  back  to  500  B.C.  The  Romans 
and  Moors  carried  lime  stucco  to  a  high 
state,  and  many  structures  are  still  ex- 
tant which  serve  as  silent  witnesses 
to   the  durability   of  lime  stucco. 


BONDS       EXECUTED    FOR       SUBWAY 
PROJECTS    IN    EAST 


The  National  Surety  Company  and 
twenty-two  other  Surety  Companies 
recently  executed  two  bonds  aggregat- 
ing in  excess  of  $15,000,000  for  the 
Keystone  State  Construction  Company, 
guaranteeing  the  completion  of  the 
Broad  Street  Subways  in  the  City  of 
Philadelphia.  The  contracts  were  re- 
cently   awarded    to    the    Keystone    Co. 

The  contract  was  divided  into  two 
sections,  one  being  for  $8,200,000  and 
the  other  for  $7,100,000.  The  Keystone 
State  Construction  Company  was  the 
lowest  of  four  bidders  on  both  sections 
of  the  undertaking  by  more  than  $500,- 
000.  Fifty  per  cent  construction  bonds 
and  ten  per  cent  penal  bonds  were  re- 
quired on  each  contract.  Tite  bonds 
were  executed  for  $4,100,000  and  $3,- 
550,000.  Combined,  the  undertaking  Is 
one  of  the  largest  ever  handled  by  any 
contracting  firm  under  bond  in  the 
country. 


TRADES       EMPLOYED    ONLY       PART 
TIME 


Figures  recently  compiled  by  the 
U.  S.  Department  of  Commerce  follow- 
ing a  nation-wide  survey  under  the  di- 
rection of  Secretary  Hoover,  disclosed 
that  nearly  3,000,000  skilled  workmen 
in  the  United  States  are  employed  on 
the  average  less  than  three-quarters  of 
the  year,  and  fully  employed  for  only 
three   to  five   months.

but  increased  considerably  in  value. 

The  imports  and  exports  of  clay  also 
increased  in  1923  as  compared  with 
1922.  The  imports  were  391,354  tons, 
valued  at  $3,670,369,  an  increase  of  9 
per  cent  in  quantity  and  8  per  cent  in 
value.  The  imports  of  Kaolin,  the 
chief  clay  imported,  amounted  to  311,- 
298  tons,  an  increase  of  less  than  1 
per    cent    as    compared    with    1922.

State    Builders'    Committee 

Submits    Report    on    Lien    Law 

Rvpurt  Nubmitted  |>y  J.  B.  Coney,  Wm.    Kisler    ;ind     D.    B.    Fariiuharisun,    Com- 
prixine   the   Lien    Law    Committee   ot     the    State    Builders'      Exi-hanee      of 
California 


The  Lien  Law — what  of  it?  It  i 
special  legislation  and  as  such  is  a  f 
subject  of  suspicion  on  the  part  of  a' 
good  or,  shall  we  say,  decent  busines 
men. 

The    Lien    Law   as   we    know    it    is   ; 
very    different   article    from    what    wa: 
originally      enacted      and   was      at   tha 
time    (about  50   years  ago)    known    an( 
meant    to    be    a    mechanics'    Lien    Law 
that   is,   it   was  meant   to   be   a  plan   b^ 
which    the    working    men    of    the   State 
could    get    easy    and    prompt    means    o 
collecting  the   wages   they  had   worked 
for  "When   the  contractor,   through   lack 
of  ability  or  intention,  failed  to  pay  up 
when  one  or  more  paydays  had  passed 
without  the  workman  geting  his  waf 
which,  of  course,  he  required  regula 
and    promptly.      To    the    extent    that    in 
these  boom  days  and  before  proper 
ganization    had    been   devised,    the    L 
Law    served    to    effect    this    purpose 
met    with    the      approval    of      all    right 
minded  people.     It  was  further  exp* 
ed  that  the  law,  as  it  then   was,  would 
gradually    educate     the    public    to    the 
fact    that    there    was    a    class    of    co 
tractor   whom,    in    all    intelligent    busi-H 
ness    fairness    and    honest    dealing,     it|| 
would  be  better  not  to  employ.     He  was  ;i 
of   the    type   of    fly-by-night    contractor  J 
whom,  when  you  had  made  a  payment, 
you  never  knew  whether  you  would  see 
him    again    or    not.      But    the    building 
public   want   to   do    their   building   with 
the   least    possible   trouble   so   they   say 
•'we    will    employ    an    architect    and    he 
will  see  that  we  get  all  that  is  coming 
to   us  on    this  job." 

Now  we  have  great  faith  in  and  re- 
spect for  the  practical  and  artistic 
ability  of  our  architects  and  they  have 
shown  that  they  are  well  endowed  with 
what  we  regard  as  the  three  cardinal 
virtues  of  al!  architecture:  utility,  sim- 
plicity and  dignity  in  their  buildings. 
But  the  public  who  employs  them  has 
added  this  apparently  trifling  fourth 
requirement,  namely,  to  make  a  coji- 
tractor  who  has  no  intention  of  sven 
trying.  Honest. 

But  to  come  back  to  our  Lien  Lf.w 
proposition  that  was  suppo-s^d  to  and 
probably  might  have  g*Dne  a  go<  d 
way  toward  eliminating  the  irrespon- 
sible and,  intentionally  or  otherwise, 
dishonest  contractor  from  the  business 
world  but  for  the  fact  that  the  ma- 
terial dealers,  through  want  of  in- 
telligent organization,  or  just  on  the 
chance  that  it  would  be  an  easy  and 
relatively  safe  way  to  sell  goods  or 
material  to  questionable  contractors  if 
they  could  get  the  State  to  be  respon- 
sible for,  or  to  act  in  the  way  of  a 
collection  agency  for  them  and  so  they 
crawled  in  under  cover  of  what  was  a 
mechanics'  lien  law  and  made  it  a 
material  man's  lien  law  as  well,  to  save 
them  from  the  trouble  of  doing  busi- 
ness in  a  sensible,  business  way  that 
would  not  only  make  contracting  a  re- 
sponsible business  but  would  also  put 
the  sale  of  building  material  on  a 
decent  business  basis.  Instead  of  being 
as  at  present  a  go-as-you-please  and 
have  the  State  collect  your  bills,  if  it 
can,  for  you.  We  said  that  it  was 
hoped  that  the  introduction  of  the  tne- 
chanics'  Lien  Law  would  help  to  elim- 
inate the  undesirable  contractor,  and 
so  it  might  have  done,  but  as  soon  as 
the  material  dealers  got  the  law 
changed  to  include  them  under  its 
scope,  then  right  away  all  restraint 
was  thrown  off  and  it  became  a  race 
with  the  material  salesmen  as  to  who 
could  get  the  most  material  on  th^ 
jobs — and  let  the  State  help  in  collect- 
ing for  it. 

Now  it  must  be  self-evident   that  an 


industry  that  is  thrown  opjn  to  any 
and  all  comers,  regardless  of  ability, 
honesty,  or  good  intention,  substituting 
for  these  essential  requirements  of  f.U 
sound  economic  conditions  the  one  con- 
flitlon  that  you  must  De  lowest  in  price 
will  very  soon  play  havie  with  that  in- 
dustry. Now  what  has  happened  In 
the  building  industry  'S  that  any  man 
who  comes  along  and  v.'ants  to  go  con- 
tracting need  have  none  of  the  require- 
ments called  for  in  other  business 
transactions,  provided  he  has  an  ample 
supply  of  Gall.  If  he  is  l.jw  the  owner 
will  accept  him  and  if  h;  has  the  Job 
some  material  man  will  supply  all  the 
material  he  needs  and  collect  for  it 
through  a  lien.  This  would  go  to  show 
that  the  owner  is  to  blame;  granted. 
tait  must  we  maintain  a  ruinous  form 
of  industry,  artlfically  crealcd,  until  all 
jwners  are  educated  to  what  is  for 
them  and  the  community  a^  a  whole  a 
jenslble  way  to  do  busi.Tesa? 

Now.  frankly,  does  not  the  honest, 
careful  material  man  and  .contractor 
Reserve  some  recognition  from  the  com- 
munity they  serve  and  from  the  slate 
of  which  they  are  citizens  and  to  a  man 
hoth  of  these  men  are  in  favor,  not  of 
the  revision  of  the  Lien  Law  as  it  ap- 
plies to  materials,  but  for  its  entire 
elimination  and  the  simplifying  of  its 
clauses  that  apply  to  wage.s  to  make 
them  more  easily  and  quickly  opera- 
live  in  the  case  of  the  workman  whose 
wages  are  being  withheld. 
Will  this  not  restrict  and  jirevent  many 
men  from  taking  part  in  both  these 
forms  of  business?  Certainly  It  will, 
but  It  will  not  militate  against  the  man 
of  ability  and  good  Intention  In  either 
case,  though  It  may  and  doubtless  will 
make  them  more  careful  of  the  kind  of 
venture  they  go  in  for.  Because  it 
must  be  clearly  understood  that  If  one 
man  or  a  number  of  men  default  in  the 
payment  of  their  bills,  then  the  man 
who  does  pay  his  bills  for  material 
must  do  so  at  a  rate  to  cover,  not  only 
the  material  he  has  used,  but  also  the 
material  the  defaulter  has  used  as  well; 
in  other  words,  any  business  having 
man^'  bad  accounts  must  charge  a  rate 
to  Its  legitimate  iiatrons  high  enough 
to  cover  the  overhead  entailed  by  the 
defaulter,  or  they  will  be  forced  out  of 
business.  To  put  it  another  way:  the 
community  is  paying  a  rate  for  lt» 
goods  high  enough  to  Keep  a  rot  of 
careless,  foolish  or  just  plain  dis- 
honest material  men  and  contractors  in 
Ituslness. 

We  are  not  forgetting  the  specialty 
or  sub-contractor  In  this  summing  up 
of  the  defects  of  the  working  of  the 
Lien  Law  because  even  under  the  Lien 
Law  he  has  to  take  court  proceedings 
against  the  defaulting  general  contrac- 
tor or  party  for  whom  he  has  done  the 
work  if  he  wants  to  collect  for  it,  and 
the  law  specifically  say  that  all  ex- 
pense so  Incurred  must  be  borne  by  the 
party  suing.  Now  If  the  elimination  of 
the  Lien  Law  does  reduce  the  number 
of  jolis  you  do.  or  rather  the  number 
ot  contractors  you  work  for,  will  this 
necessarily  mean  less  return  for  you  at 
the  end  of  the  year?  When  you  take 
into  account  the  long  wait  you  have 
before  getting  your  money,  with  the 
necessary  handicap  this  Is  to  you  in 
the  carrying  on  of  your  regular  busi- 
ness. It  will  not  be  a  bad  thing  for  your 
business  If  the  community  knows  that 
you  refuse  to  work  for  a  man  who  not 
only  does  not  pay  his  bills  promptly 
but  will  not  pay  them  at  all  without  a 
suit  in  court. 

Do  you  not  think  that  it  would  be  a 
pretty  good  thing  for  your  business  If 
the   man   who   could   or   would  not   pay

CEMKNT      THAT      MATURKS      1 
HOIIRS   IS   PERFT3CTKD 


An  extremely  quick-setting  cement  is 
not  desirable,  but  there  are  many  in- 
stances where  it  would  be  advan- 
tageous to  use  cement  that,  after  the 
initial  set,  would  in  a  few  hours  reach 
its  maximum  tensile  strength.  This  is 
especially  true  in  week-end  work, 
where  operations  have  to  cease  unless 
the  cement  has  hardened  before  the 
time  for  resumption.  If  the  cement 
win  mature  in  24  hours,  the  delay  in 
operation  is  nil  or  considerably  short- 
ened. 

A  new  product,  known  as  Lumnite 
cement,  is  being  manufactured  at 
Northampton,  Pa.,  by  the  Atlas  Alumi- 
nate  Cement  Co.,  25  Broadway,  New 
York  City.  It  is  said  not  only  to 
possess  the  desirable  qualities  of  port- 
land  cement,  but  to  acquire  a  strength 
in  24  hours  somewhat  greater  than  the 
other  kind  of  cement  will  attain  in  28 
days. 

A  large  proportion  of  high-grade 
aluminum  ore  (bauxite)  is  used  in  the 
mixture,  and  the  raw  materials  are 
then  fused  and  ground  to  a  considerab- 
ly greater  fineness  than  is  necessary 
under  standard  specifications  for  port- 
land  cement.  When  lumnite  is  used, 
the  mix  should  be  slightly  wetter  than 
with  Portland  grades,  because  of  the 
more  rapid  hydration  of  the  former. 
The  initial  setting  by  this  means  can 
be  arranged  to  be  no  more  rapid  than 
with    Portland    cement. 

Lumnite  cement  is  somewhat  more 
expensive  than  Portland,  and  it  can- 
not be  mixed  with  other  cements  with- 
out both  losing  their  distinctive  quali- 
ties. 


1923   SAW   OUTPUT 


The  Department  of  Commerce  an- 
nounces that,  according  to  reports  for 
the  biennial  census  of  the  manufac- 
turers, 1923,  the  establishments  engag- 
ed primarily  in  the  manufacture  of 
saws  in  that  year  reported  such  pro- 
ducts valued  at  $28,812,537.  together 
with  other  classes  of  products  valued 
at  ?1. 829, 321,  making  a  total  of  $30,- 
641,858.  The  rate  of  increase  in  the 
total  value  of  products  as  compared 
with  1921,  the  last  preceding  census 
year,   was   68.5   per  cent. 


28    Per   Cent   Increase    in    Year's 

Lumber  Exports  From  United  States 


The  year  ended  June  3U,  1924,  wit- 
nessed an  export  from  the  United 
Elates  of  lumber,  timber,  and  wood 
products  valued  at  a  total  of  $153,346,- 
109,  compared  with  the  previous  year 
valued  at  $119,765,069,  an  increase  of 
28   per  cent. 

The  principal  Items  participating  in 
this  increase  were  Douglas  fir  timber, 
which  increased  218  per  cent;  Douglas 
fir  lumber,  which  increased  34  per  cent; 
and  cedar  logs  and  timber,  113  per  cent. 

The  outstanding  reason  tor  this  de- 
velopment in  Northwestern  lumber  ex- 
ports was  the  very  consideraole  buying 
on  the  part  of  Japan.  The  exports  to 
Japan  increased  in  Douglas  fir  timber, 
207  per  cent;  Douglas  fir  lumber,  74 
per  cent;  cedar  logs  and  timber,  102 
per  cent.  .Western  hemlock  jumber  in- 
creased 160  per  cent  during  the  first 
six  months  of  1924  over  the  correspond- 
ing period  of  1923;  figures  for  the  en- 
tire fiscal  year  of  1923  were  not  record- 
ed. Japan  took  644,724,000  feet  of 
Douglas  fir  and  cedar  timber  and  logs, 
and  433,617,000  feet  of  Douglas  fir  and 
western  hemlock  lumber  during  the  12 
months.  The  classification  of  timber 
In  the  United  States  export  statistics  is 
6  by  6  inches  and  larger,  while  sizes 
less  than  6  by  6  are  classed  as  boards, 
planks  and  scantlings,  which  may  be 
generally   called   lumber. 

The  very  large  proportion  of  timber 
and  logs  taken  by  Japan  is  of  mjch 
interest  inasmuch  as  the  greater  part 
of  the  timber  and  logs  sent  to  Japan 
are  cut  up  in  Japanese  sawmills,  only 
a  small  portion  being  used  in  large 
sizes.  This  practice  indicates  the 
Japanese  industrial  situation  which 
calls  for  the  importation  of  large 
shipments  of  manufactured  timber  in- 
stead of  importing  finished  lumber 
sizes.  A  great  deal  of  the  timber  sent 
to  Japan  ranges  in  size  from  12  to  24 
inches  square  by  24  to  40  feet  long. 
Included  under  lumber  (boards,  planks, 
and  scantlings)  are  considerable 
amounts  of  the  so-called  Japanese  baby 
squares,  which  are  around  4  to  5  inches 
square  and  10  to  20  feet  long  and  gen- 
erally used  for  framing.  These  small 
squares  are  of  Douglas  fir  and  western 
hemlock,  usually,  although  other  west- 
ern woods  have  been  used;  the  large 
squares  are  commonly  of  Douglas   flr. 

The  increased  buying  by  Japan  of 
Douglas  fir  and  western  cedar  was  to 
be  expected  inasmuch  as  for  several 
years  Japan  has  taken  considerable 
quantities  of  these  woods.  However, 
the      increased      Japanese      taking      of 


western  hemlock  lumber  is  significant 
as  indicating  the  greater  appreciation 
of  that  wood  by  foreign  buyers.  As  to 
other  Douglas  fir  lumber  markets 
China  took  but  little  more;  Australia, 
about  one-third  less;  Peru,  Chile,  and 
Mexico,  about  one-half  more,  while  it 
is  noticeable  that  British  South  Africa 
took  80  per  cent  less  of  Douglas  fir 
lumber. 

California  redwood  lumber  exports 
increased  17  per  cent  during  the  12 
months  to  52,119,000  feet,  while  the 
exports  of  western  and  eastern  spruce 
increased  53  per  cent  to  38,437,000  feet. 

The  United  States  is  not  only  a  large 
producer  of  railroad  ties  for  domestic 
use  but  also  exports  an  important 
amount.  The  year's  exports  were  2.- 
758,953  ties,  an  increase  of  12  per  cent. 
Foreign  tie  markets  do  not  run  as 
regular  from  year  to  year  as  lumber 
markets  because  of  the  dependence  on 
new  railroad  construction,  replacement, 
and  in  some  countries  development  of 
native  woods.  Mexico  was  an  impor- 
tant customer,  taking  766,017  ties,  or 
nearly  three  times  as  much  as  in  the 
previous  year.  While  Canada  is  one  of 
the  world's  important  lumber  producers, 
and  sent  to  the  United  States  in  the 
year  1923  somewhat  over  1,800,000,000 
feet  of  lumber,  mostly  softwoods, 
nevertheless,  as  noted  elsewhere  in  this 
article,  Canada  takes  from  the  United 
States  considerable  quantities  of  south- 
ern pine,  hardwoods,  and  cooperage.  In 
the  12  months  recently  ended  Canada 
also  took  from  the  United  States  638,- 
646   railroad   ties. 

Honduras,  likewise,  has  been  an  im- 
portant tie  market  but  last  year  took 
only  402,522  ties,  a  decrease  of  20  per 
cent.  Guatemala  took  about  15  per 
cent  more  in  1924.  Peruvian  railroad 
construction  is  indicated  by  the  im- 
port of  over  twice  as  many  ties,  or  a 
120  per  cent  increase.  However,  it 
should  not  be  overlooked  that  during 
the  past  year  British  India  and  Cuba 
imported  no  railroad  ties  from  the 
United  States,  while  in  the  previous 
year  the  former  took  215,458  ties  and 
the    latter   39,841    ties. 

The  United  States  exports  piMng 
and  poles.  During  the  year  1,988,794 
linear  feet  of  piling,  an  increase  of 
about  85  per  cent,  gauged  by  the  value; 
and  53,939  poles,  an  increase  of  80  per

Material    Prices    Continue    Downward 

The  downward  swing  of  wholesale  building  material  prices  which  de- 
veloped in  1923  continued  through  May,  the  latest  month  for  which  compari- 
sons are  available,  according  to  information  gathered  by  the  U.  S.  Depart- 
ment of  Labor.  The  high  point  for  19  23  was  reached  in  April,  when  the 
weighted  index  for  all  building  materials  stood  at  204,  using  1913  as  100.  The 
index  for  this  same  group  in  May  this  year  was  180.  a  decrease  of  24  points 
in  thirteen  months.  Following  is  a  list  of  index  numbers  by  years  froni  1913

General    Reduction    in    Building 

Costs    Not   Likely    in    Near   Future 


The  Be.sser  Sales  Company,  Monad- 
nock  Bldg.,  Chicago,  has  issuer]  an  in- 
teresting catalog  describing  the  com- 
plete line  of  concrete  products  ma- 
chinery manufactured  by  them.  This 
booklet  tells  about  their  concrete  block, 
tile,  and  brick  machine,  ranging  from 
the  small  hand  devices,  capable  of  hut 
a  limited  output,  to  the  great  auto- 
matic devices  that  would  permit  a 
manufacturer  to  care  for  a  lively  de- 
mand   in    a    large    construction    center. 

The  Acme  Foundry  &  Machine  Co., 
Coffeyville,  Kansas,  has  issued  a  novel 
four-page  folder  showing  the  advant- 
ages of  the  Acme  Automotic  Loader. 
The  loader  can  be  profitably  used  in 
grading  and  road  work— especially  in 
shoulder  drainage,  asphalt  loading, 
drainage  ditches,  gravel  pits  and  base- 
ment excavations.  Copies  of  the  cir-

Wiley  T.  Vaughn,  Oakland  contractor, 
indicted  jointly  with  his  two  brothers, 
Asa  and  M.  C.  Vaughn,  by  a  federal 
grand  iury,  in  connection  with  the 
Alameda  County  Highland  hospital 
fraud,  surrendered  to  the  United  States 
marshal's  office  and  deposited  bail 
last  Monday,  immediately  upon  learn- 
ing that  an  indictment  had  been  voted 
against  him,  according  to  a  statement 
he  issues. 

The  statement  follows: 
"It  has  been  made  to  appear  that  I 
have  evaded  apprehension  at  the  hands 
of  the  United  States  marshal  in  the 
matter  of  a  charge  which  is  made  m 
an  indictment  against  me  and  M.  C. 
Vaughn  and  Asa  Vaughn.  This  in- 
dictment was  voted,  I  understand,  some 
time  In  January  of  this  year,  but  re- 
mained on  secret  file  until  the  last 
week. 

"As  a  matter  of  fact,  I  have  been  in- 
dustriously engaged  in  business  con- 
tinuously in  Oakland  ever  since  the  in- 
dictment was  voted,  and  have  been  at 
all  times  easily  found  and  have  made 
no  effort  whatsoever  to  escape  arrest; 
and  as  soon  as  I  learned  that  an  in- 
dictment was  filed  against  me,  I  sur- 
rendered to  the  United  States  marshal 
and  deposited  bail  for  my  appearance 
in  court.  I  only  knew  on  Sunday  last 
that  I  had  been  indicted,  and  on  Mon- 
day I  surrendered  myself  and  deposited 
bail.  I  trust  that  my  friends  and 
others  who  have  read  the  articles  in 
the  newspapers  will  forego  judgment 
in  this  matter  until  I  have  been  able 
to  be  heard  in  my  defense  in  court." 


TELEPHOIVES    IN    SAN    FRANCISCO 


Those  who  arc  looking  for  a  general 
reduction  in  building  costs  in  the  n^ar 
future  will  lie  disappointed  in  these  ex- 
pectations, according  to  the  views  ex- 
pressed by  S.  W.  Straus,  president  of  S. 
W.   Straus   &   Co. 

As  the  fall  season  approaches  there 
is  indicated  the  expectation  upon  the 
part  of  many  that  building  costs  are 
coming  down.  While  there  are  always 
certain  fluctuations  in  the  costs  of 
building  materials,  these  advances  and 
recessions  are  in  large  measure  brought 
about  through  temporary  local  condi- 
tions affecting  the  prices  in  certain 
specific  products.  The  market  for 
building  material  is,  of  course,  affected 
by  general  business  conditions,  which 
means  that  while  there  may  be  some 
depressions  with  the  slowing  up  of 
business  and  industry  there  likewise 
comes  a  gain  in  prices  with  the  re- 
.sumption  of  more  active  conditions. 

It  is  to  be  borne  in  mind,  however. 
I  hat  economies  in  building  are  possible 
through  increased  efficiency.  By  a 
closer  scrutiny  of  building  operations 
and  a  more  careful  and  scientific  plan- 
ning of  buildings,  it  is  often  possible  to 
produce  a  property  at  a  much  lower 
cost  than  would  be  the  case  If  these 
intensive  efficiency  methods  had  not 
been  applied. 

This  fact  is  becoming  more  generally 
understood  as  methods  of  economy  and 
efficiency  are  evolved  out  of  the  neces- 
sities of  the  post-war  situation.  In 
large  apartment  house  construction 
this  development  is  especially  pro- 
nounced. Without  any  sacrifice  of  con- 
venience or  comfort,  scientific  builders 
are  creating  a  more  compact  type  of 
home  than  formerly  prevailed,  while  in 
commercial  structures  means  have 
been  found  for  utilizing  a  substantial 
amount  for  footage  that  hitherto  has 
been   wasted. 

In  determining  the  probable  trend  of 
building  costs,  it  is  to  be  remembered 
that  the  principal  element  of  expense 
both  in  the  manufacture  of  materials 
and  in  the  assembling  of  these  mater- 
ials into  buildings,  is  labor,  which  has 
shown  no  inclination  to  accept  wage 
reductions,  particularly  in  the  large 
cities  where  the  bulk  of  building  acti- 
vities prevail.  On  the  contrary,  there 
have  been  wage  increases  during  the 
last    six    months    ranging    from    2  Va    tn 


The  magnitude  of  San  Francisco  and 
the  phenomenal  progress  of  the  West 
is  exhibited  In  a  comparison  of  the 
number  of  telephones  in  use  here  and 
the  number  in  operation  in  Maryland, 
one  of  the  oldest  states  in  the  Union. 
There  are  only  162,500  telephones  in 
Maryland  as  compared  with  195,112  in 
the  city  of  San  Francisco.  Maryland 
sends  800,000  telephone  messages  every 
day,  while  San  Francisco  sends  over 
one  million.  In  each  the  peak  of  the 
messages  are  crowded  into  a  period  of 
a  few  hours  each  day,  bringing  a  heavy 
strain  on  the  telephone  equipment  and 
attendants.  The  phenomenal  develop- 
ment and  expansion  of  central  Califor- 
nia would  be  vividly  exhibited  were  the 
total  telephone  facilities  required  by 
its  inhabitants  compared  with  those 
now  used  by  various  eastern  and  south- 
ern  commonwealths. 


12%  cents  an  hour  in  the  principal 
building  trades  in  most  of  the  large 
cities  of  the  country,  while  instances  of 
reduced  labor  costs  in  the  building 
crafts  have  been  almost  negligible.  It 
is  true  that  in  many  places  bonus  pay- 
ments have  been  abolished,  but  the.se 
have  merely  been  absorbed  by  increas- 
ed  wage  scales. 

Manifestly,  if  there  should  be  any 
pronounced  widespread  reduction  in  the 
cost  of  buildings  it  would  be  largely 
at  the  expense  of  building  labor,  .ind 
what  might  be  gained  in  wage  reduc- 
tions would  oe  lost  in  labor  efficioncv. 
It  is  a  fuadamental  of  human  nature 
that  men  who  are  forced  to  work  for 
less  money  and  thus  sacrifice  the  living 
standards  which  they  and  their  fami- 
lies have  been  accustomed  to,  will  lot 
work  as  efficiently  as  where  they  arc 
satisfied  and  happy. 

The  only  circumstance  under  wiiicli 
Ijuilding  labir  would,  I  lielieve,  even 
temporarily  accept  pnmounced  reduc- 
tions in  wages  without  sacrificing  elli- 
eiency  would  be  in  the  face  of  a  sweep- 
ing reduction  of  all  costs  of  living, 
which  would  be  an  economic  phenome- 
non involving  a  sacrifice  of  values 
neither  to  be  expected  nor  desired  by 
the  people   of  the  country. 

Evidence  is  not  lacking  that  building 
operations  are  slowing  down  somewhat, 
hut  there  is  no  likelihood  that  this 
easing  off  will  reach  a  place  where 
wage  scales  in  the  building  crafts  will 
fall.  If  such  reductions  should  ensue, 
however,  due  to  non-employment,  pres- 
ent or  possibly  higher  wages  would 
come  with  the  resumption  of  active 
building  operations.  To  argue  other- 
wise is  to  deny  the  influence  of  human 
nature  in  the  solution  of  economic 
problems. 

The  more  logical  solution  of  the 
building  problem  is  stabilization  of 
costs  at  approximately  present  levels, 
and  there  are  consistent  evidences  that 
such  a  development  is  taking  place. 
The  abnormal  activities  which  have  been 
in  evidence,  particularly  in  the  large 
cities  of  the  country,  for  the  last  three 
years  are  being  superseded  by  normal 
conditions.  This  cycle  of  building  ac- 
tivity may  be  expected  to  produce  stab- 
ilized costs,  owing  largely  to  the  more 
evenly  balanced  conditions  of  supply 
and  demand. 


SHIPMENTS  Of  MANGANESE  OHT.   IN 
IN    1»23    ARE    REPORTED 


More  manganese  ore  was  shipped  in 
the  United  States  in  1923  than  in  1922, 
according  to  final  figures  given  out  by 
the  Department  of  the  Interior,  in  a 
statement  prepared  by  the  Geological 
Survey.  Although  the  shipments  in- 
creased more  than  two  and  one-thir.l 
times— from  13,404  gross  tons  in  1922 
to  31,500  gross  tons  in  1923 — they  were 
smaller  than  many  expected  that  they 
would  be  under  the  stimulus  of  tlie 
tariff  on  manganese  ore  fixed  by  the 
act  that  went  into  effect  September  .22, 
1922. 

The  average  value  per  ton  of  the  ore 
imported  from  Germany  in  1922  ($00. .>2) 
and  from  Germany  and  Eriyland  in 
1923  ($100.37  and  $126.74,  respectively) 
are  near  the  prices  received  for  ferro- 
manganese  and  are  considerably  above 
those  received  for  manganese  ore.  It 
is  therefore  probable  that  the  imports 
from  those  two  countries  reported  as 
manganese  ore  represent,  in  part  at 
least,  some  other  material.  The  aver- 
age value  of  all  reported  imports  of 
manganese  ore  in  1923  vvas  $18.80  a 
ton. 


BlILUING       INUrsTRY       DEPRESSED 
IN    JAPAN    SAYS    CEMENT    HEAD 


(t.  S.  Brown,  president  of  the  Alpha 
Portland  Cement  Co.,  who  has  returned 
from  a  three  months'  study  of  condi- 
tions in  the  Far  East,  summarizes  as 
follows  his  observations  on  the  con- 
struction   industry    there; 

"The  anticipated  construction  pro- 
gram of  the  Japanese  to  replace  the 
buildings  lost  by-  earthquake  and  fire 
last  year  has  failed  to  materialize. 
Temporary  structures  sufficient  to 
house  the  people  have  been  erected, 
liut  little  permanent  construction  has 
been  started,  and  when  I  was  there 
no  one  seemed  to  have  any  knowledge 
as  to  when  active,  permanent  recon- 
struction would  be  started. 

"There  is  a  surplus  in  Japan  of  all 
sorts  of  construction  materials.  Indeed 
the  construction  industry  is  in  a  de- 
pressed condition  in  all  parts  of  the 
Far  East,  except  in  Hongkong  and 
Shanghai.  The  disturbed  political  con- 
dition in  China  prevents  any  extensive 
work,  while  in  the  Philippines  fear 
that  the  islands  will  be  given  inde- 
pendence by  the  United  States  has  the 
same  effect.

Not  only  does  it  do  away  with  unsightly  butts 
and  adjusters,  but  it  permits  the  sash  to  be 
opened  to  any  angle. 

Not  only  does  it  make  the  sash  stay  put  in  the 
desired  position,  but  holds  it  there  without  rattle 
in  any  wind. 

Instead  of  swinging  from  the  jamb,  shutting 
out  the  breeze  and  making  it  impossible  for  the 
outside  of  the  window  to  be  cleaned  from  the 


Each  set  ("equipment  for  one  case- 
ment sash  or  transom)  with  install- 
ing instructions,  is  packed  in  a  neat 
carton  V  x  1"  x  8". 


inside  of  the  room,  a  Whitco  equipped  sash  as 
it  is  opened,  travels  away  from  the  sash,  and 
when  swung  out  to  an  angle  of  90°  from  the 
frame  leaves  a  space  of  4^"  between  the  sash 
and  the  jamb — plenty  of  opening  for  the  breeze 
to  come  in — plenty  of  room  to  get  at  the  outside 
surface  for  cleaning. 

Whitco  Hardware  can  be  applied  either  to  old 
or  new  sash  as  no  special  detail  is  required.  No 
special  finish  is  needed  as  Whitco  Hardware  is 
entirely  concealed  when  the  sash  is  closed.  A 
set  consists  of  two  pieces — one  for  the  top  and 
one  for  the  bottom  of  the  window.  One  size 
fits  all  sash.  May  be  used  either  right  or  left 
hand. 
Whitco  Hardware  is  also  ideal  for  transoms. 


Whitco  Hardware  is  sold  only 
through  retail  dealers  in 
builders'  hardware. 
If  the  one  you  deal  with  can- 
not supply  you  send  us  his 
name  and  we  will  see  that  your 
needs  are  taken  care  of.

(-'barging  deficiencies  in  the  recently 
completed  Gorge  plant  tunnel  at  the

the  hoard  of  pulilic  works  of  .Seattle, 
Wash.,  against  accepting  the  tunnel 
froiu  R.  C.  Storrie  &  Co.  of  San  Fran- 
cisco, the  contractors,  has  been  intro- 
duced in  the  city  council  by  Chairman 
Philip  Tindall  of  the  city  utilities  com- 
mittee. 

Tindall's  resolution,  which  Avas  re- 
ferred to  the  city  utilities  committee 
for  investigation  and  report,  declared 
the  "R.  C.  Storrie  Company  has  failed 
to  bring  the  Skagit  project  tunnel  to  a 
\iniforn\  bore  as  required  by  the  con- 
tiact.    plans   and    specifications." 

It  also  asserted  that  city  ofiicers  and 
inspectors  in  charge  of  the  Skagit 
wo:k  have  attempted  "to  waive  the 
bringing  of  said  tunnel  lo  a  uniform 
bore  resuUing  in  an  unauthorized  profit 
of  approximately  $50,000  to  said  R.  C. 
Storrie   &   Company." 

"The  board  of  public  works  is  here- 
by notified  that  said  tunnel  in  its 
present  condition  is  unsatisfactory  to 
the  city  council  and  any  pretended  ac- 
ceptance of  said  tunnel  in  its  present 
condition  is  not  agreeable  to  the  coun- 
cil." the  resolution  also  declares.  It 
then  directs  the  public  woiks  board 
"not  to  accept  said  tunnel  until  the 
further  order  of  the  city  council,  nor 
any  other  portion  of  said  work  under 
said  ciitrnct  unless  and  until  I'lilly  com- 
pleted in  strict  accordance  with  the 
plans   and    specifications    therefor." 


The  valuation  of  the  Sacramento 
Utility  District  is  placed  at  $84,646,640 
by  County  Auditor  L.  P.  Williams  in  a 
report  to  Albert  Givan,  general  man- 
ager of  the  district,  submitted  to  di- 
rectors  of  the   district. 

This  figure  was  given  to  the  district 
to  be  used  as  the  basis  for  determining 
a  tax  rate  by  which  the  money  to 
finance  the  construction  of  the  Silver 
Creek  project  could  be  raised.  It  is 
expected  that  the  budget  will  be  pre- 
sented to  the  members  for  adoption  at 
once. 

General  Manager  Givan  announced 
he  conferred  with  oflicials  of  the  United 
Bank  di  Trust  Company  concerning  the 
financial  agreement  into  which  the 
bank  and  the  district  will  enter.  The 
agreeinent  is  being  arranged  so  that 
the  warrants  of  the  district  can  be 
honored  until  such  time  as  the  district 
comes  into  possession  of  funds  from 
the   tax  law.

COAST    INDIISTRY 


Serious  injury  to  the  cement  in- 
duslrics  along  the  coasts  unless  the 
provisions  of  the  Anti-dumping  Act  are 
applied  to  incoming  shipments  of  this 
commodity  from  the  Scandinavian 
countries  and  Belgium  was  forecast  in 
a  brief  filed  with  tlie  Treasury  at 
Washington  in  iiehalf  of  domestic 
I'ortland  cement  interests.  Applica- 
tion of  the  domestic  interests  for  the 
application  of  the  Anti-dumping  Act  to 
importations  of  cement  has  been  be- 
Inre  the  Treasury  for  scmic  weeks. 

The  belief  maintains  that  foreign 
cement  is  being  shipped  into  the  United 
States  at  prices  below  those  at  which 
it  is  sold  for  home  consumption  in  the 
countries  of  Norway.  Sweden,  Den- 
marlt  and  Belgium;  and  that  the  domes- 
tic cement  industry  along  l)Oth  coasts 
in  the  United  States  and  in  Porto  Rico 
and  Hawaii,  have  been,  are  being  and 
are  liliely  to  be  seriously  injured  by 
reoson  of  such  shipments,  by  reason  of 
the  loss  of  marliets.  forced  reduction  of 
prices  in  some  instances  to  points 
where  profits  have  vanished,  the  clos- 
ing of  mills  and  the  operation  of  others 
far  below  their  capacity. 

The  lirief  contends  that  domestic 
supply  is  amply  sufficient  to  meet  all 
demands,  and  that  the  prices  resulting 
from  l\een  competition  have  been  as 
low  as  could  possibly  be  expected  if  a 
fair  return  is  to  be  ri'aiized  on  the 
.apital    invested.

high  record  for  the  year,  and  was 
679,000  barrels  ahead  of  October,  1923, 
the  best  month  of  last  year,  when  pro- 
duction reached  a  top  figure  of  13,- 
350,000  barrels.  Compared  with  June, 
the  increase  was  nearly  500,000  bar- 
rels, but  compared  with  July  last  year 
the  increase  was  1,409,000  barrels. 

Shipments,  too,  showed  an  appre- 
ciable increase  in  July,  jumping  to 
16,614,000  from  15,036,000  barrels  in 
June.  Therefore,  with  the  increased 
production  being  offset  by  the  larger 
shipments,  stoclcs  on  hand  at  the  end 
of  July  were  smaller,  showing  a  drop 
of  585,000  barrels  on  a  total  supply  of 
12,315,000  barrels,  the  lowest  of  any 
month    this    year.

ii!100,00(l       AVAII^ABLK       FOR       STATE 
WATER    SURVEY 

A  fund  of  $100,00,  raised  by  the  busi- 
ness interests  of  Los  Angeles  and  San 
Francisco  through  their  Chambers  of 
Commerce,  for  the  completion  of  the 
state's  water  resources  will  be  turned 
over  to  A.  C.  McClure,  State  Engineer, 
by  the  executive  committee  of  the  Cali- 
fortiia  Irrigation  Association,  Septem- 
ber  5. 

The  water  survey  was  commenced  in 
1921,  after  the  Legislature  had  appro- 
riated  $200,00(1  for  the  work,  but  was 
dropped  for  lack  of  funds  when  the 
Legislature  in  1923  failed  to  provide 
additional  money.  One  hundred  thous- 
and dollars  has  since  been  subscribed 
with  the  understanding  that  an  effort 
wtjuld  lie  made  to  obtain  further  ap- 
propriations from  the  Legislature  in 
1925. 


In  view  of  .-itatcments  current  in 
some  portions  of  the  press  that  a  de- 
|)rcs.sed  condition  exists  in  the  con- 
struction industry,  the  Department  of 
Commerce  has  issued  a  statement  call- 
ing attention  to  the  immediate  situa- 
tion as  compared  with  conditions  a 
year  ago.  The  value  of  contracts  let 
in  thirty-six  states  in  July,  1924,  shows 
an  increase  of  10  per  cent  over  that  a 
year  ago,  and  the  total  contracts  let 
from  January  I  lo  the  end  of  July,  1924, 
also  gained  10  per  cent  over  the  same 
period  of  1923.  Practically  all  classes 
of  construction  contributed  to  the  in- 
crease, although  in  varying  degree, 
just  as  there  has  been  relatively 
greater  activity  in  some  cities  and  dis- 
tricts   than    in   others. 

Residential  contracts  for  July  tills 
year  show  an  increase  of  3  per  cent 
over  those  of  last  Jul.v;  industrial  and 
commercial  building  combined  show  3 
per  cent  increase;  public  works  and 
utility  construction  10  per  cent  in- 
crease; educational  buildings,  26  per 
cent  increase;  and  miscellaneous,  in- 
cluding hospitals  and  institutions, 
religious  and  memorial  buildings,  and 
public   buildings,    42   per  cent   increase. 

Cement  shipments  from  the  mills  in 
July  increased  21  per  cent  over  the 
same  month  last  year,  and  for  the 
seven  months  ended  July  were  4  per 
cent  higher. 

Although  there  was  some  decrease  in 
lumber  production  during  the  first 
seven  months  of  the  year,  orders  for 
lumber  reported  by  eight  leading  asso- 
ciations during  six  weeks  ending  tlie 
middle  of  August  show  an  increase  of 
29  per  cent  over  the  same  period  of 
last  year. 

There  has  been  some  recession  in  the 
cost  of  construction.  The  Department 
of  Commerce  index  number  for  frame 
house  materials  shows  a  decrease  in 
twelve  months  from  214  to  199,  com- 
pared with  1913  as  100,  and  for  brick 
house  materials,  from  217  to  201. 
Other  index  numbers  show  a  decrease 
in  general  construction  costs  from  222 
to   214. 


AVORI.U'S 


What  is  claimed  to  be  a  world's  rec- 
ord for  relaying  rails  was  established 
by  a  crew  of  men  on  the  Canadian 
Pacific  Railway.  New  Brunswick  dis- 
trict late  in  July.  In  two  days  the  men 
tore  up  29.7  miles  of  old  85-lb.  rails 
and  replaced  them.  There  were  220 
men  in  the  gang.  The  section  replaced 
is  between  Mattawemkeag  and  Brown- 
ville.  According  to  all  available  rec- 
ords the  former  Canadian  record  was 
11.7  miles. 


CONTRACTORS    WIN    DAMAGE    SUITS 


Three  general  contracting  firms  in 
the  East  have  been  awarded  damages 
on  account  of  misrepresentation  of 
subsoil  conditions  being  furnished 
them  by  engineers,  which  resulted  in 
increased  construction  costs.  Another 
concern  was  awarded  damages  against 
the  city  of  New  York  because  of  the 
engineer's  failure  to  deliver  plans  ac- 
cording to  contract  time,  which  de- 
layed the  work  so  as  to  throw  it  into 
the  period  of  high  costs  arising  from 
war-time   conditions.

THE  OBSERVER 

WHAT  HE  HEARS  AND  SEES  ON  HIS  ROUNDS 


Presag-ing  a  $3,000,000  increase  over 
last  year,  or  a  leap  of  between  10  and 
15  per  cent,  the  total  value  of  building 
in  OalUand  for  1924  probably  will  ex- 
ceed $30,000,000,  according-  to  figures 
announced  by  the  Oakland  City  huild- 
ing  department,  which  show  the  $21,- 
000.000  marlf  passed  in  the  first  eight 
months.  The  entire  12  months  of  1923 
lirought  $27,000,000  in  new  buildings. 
August  of  this  year  led  August  of  1923 
liy  $915,625,  last  month  being  marked 
Ijy  a  total  of  1114  permits  issued  by  the 
building  department  tor  structures 
valued  at  $3,034,041,  a  slight  decrease 
from  the  July  figure.  It  was  the  .sec- 
ond time  in  as  many  months  that  build- 
ing permits  were  issued  for  more  than 
$3,000,000.  For  the  quarter — June, 
.luly  and  August — Oakland  reached  an 
impressive  total  of  $8,911,581.  August 
of  1923  saw  the  issuance  of  1120  per- 
mits  for   a    total   of   $2,118,416. 

A  movement  that  is  bound  to  spread 
all  over  the  country  was  recently 
started  in  New  York,  which  has  as  its 
obiective  the  elimination  of  the  un- 
scrupulous and  inexperienced  builder. 
The  New  York  Building  Trades  Em- 
ployers Association,  The  New  York 
Building  Congress,  The  American  Con- 
struction Council  and  a  number  of 
other  important  agencies  are  behind 
the  move.  The  bonding  companies  are 
lending  their  co-operation  and  it  is  be- 
coming more  difficult  for  newcomers 
without  practical  experience  in  the  in- 
dustry to  enter  the  field.  Architects 
and  owners  are  inclined  to  give  more 
consideration  to  the  legitimate  con- 
tractors than  has  been  the  case  during 
the   past   few   years. 

The  survey  of  the  paper  and  pulp 
supply  problem  recently  completed  by 
the  United  States  Forest  Service  in 
con.iunction  with  the  American  Paper  & 
Pulp  Association  revealed  that  al- 
though 3.39  per  cent  of  the  timber  cut 
in  the  country  during  a  year  goes  into 
paper,  paper  manufacturers  are  com- 
pelled to  import  pulp  and  pulpwood. 
The  survey  also  reveals  that  of  the 
annual  timber  cut,  38.33  per  cent  goes 
for  fuel  wood,  while  lumber  absorbs 
but  33.31  per  cent.  A  similar  investi- 
gation of  the  lumber  trade  will  be  un- 
dertaken in  the  near  future,  it  is  be- 
lieved in   trade  circles. 


Bricklayers  lead  the  field  of  labor  in 
wage  increases  gained  in  the  last  half 
century.  The  fact  is  shown  in  a  report 
of  a  survey  of  wages  and  costs  in  the 
construction  industry,  covering  a 
period  of  fifty  years.  Just  made  public 
by  the  Engineering  News  Record.  The 
average  rate  for  this  trade  today  be- 
ing $1.50  an  hour  for  an  eight  hour 
day.  as  against  a  rate  of  43  cents  an 
hour  in  1874.  In  consistent  and  steady 
gains,  the  carpenters  come  second  to 
the  bricklayers.  Common  labor  is 
shown  to  have  achieved  the  least  pro- 
portion of  wage  gains  and  is  affected 
more  than  the  skilled  trades  in  the 
fluctuation  of  the   industry.

Cunimlttee.  there  now  exists  tlie  most 
widespread  Interest  and  activity  in  In- 
dustrial standardization  that  cv.-r  has 
heen  shown.  Standardization,  being  es- 
sentially a  cii-operative  uml.rlaklng, 
must  necessarily  be  predicated  im  some 
form  of  organization.  To  carry  out  a 
piece  of  standardization  work  through-

sential that  there  be  some  form  of  or- 
ganization covering  this  particular  in- 
dustry, even  though  it  lie  a  loo.s..  knit 
organization.  One  of  the  most  strik-

linn  movement  is  the  increasingly  im- 
portant role  that  trade  associations  are 
playing  in  it.  More  than  HO  national

he  contends  that  the  section  of  the 
statutes  permitting  suit  against  vol- 
untary organizations  is  unconstitu-

BlILDERS    ELECT    OFFICERS 

The  Monterey  County  Builders'  Asso- 
ciation, at  the  regular  monthly  meet- 
ing in  Home  Inn,  Pacific  Grove,  elected 
the  following  officers  to  serve  for  the 
ensuing  year:  C.  W.  Allaire,  president; 
W.  H.  McConnell,  secretary;  L.  E.  Gott- 
fried, Ed.  Simpson  and  H.  A.  Prince, 
directors. 


The  Master  Builders  Association  of 
Wi.sconsin  recently  published  a  chart 
showing  the  percentage  of  time  worked 
and  the  yearly  earnings  of  the  major 
building  trades  in  Milwaukee,  based  on 
the  1924  rate.  The  chart  shows  that 
tile  setters  are  employed  more  days  per 
year  than  any  other  trade.  Their 
average  being  90  per  cent  of  the  maxi- 
mum number  of  working  days.  Struc- 
tural iron  workers  and  hoisting  engi- 
neers are  at  the  bottom  of  the  list  be- 
ing employed  only  60  per  cent  of  the 
time:  carpenters,  painters,  plasterers, 
lathers,  plumbers  and  electricians  are 
employed  ST)  per  cent;  steam  fitters, 
sheet  metal  workers  and  concrete 
finishers  are  employed  75  per  cent; 
marble  setters,  slate  roofers  and  com- 
position roofers  are  employed  70  per 
cent;  bricklayers  65  per  cent  and 
common   laborers   80   per  cent. 

Based  on  the  1'.124  rale,  the  earnings 
of  tile  setters  are  higher  than  that  of 
any  other  trade.  The  order  of  the  rest 
of  the  trades  is  as  follows:  Plasterers, 
second;  lathers  and  plumbers,  third; 
elexjtricians,  fourth:  bricklayers,  fifth; 
marble  setters,  sixth;  carpenters, 
seventh;  steamfitters.  eighth;  painters, 
ninth;  slate  roofers,  tenth:  sheet  metal 
workers,  eleventh;  cement  finishers, 
twelfth:  structural  iron  workers,  thir- 
teenth; composition  roofers,  four- 
teenth; hoisting  engineers,  fifteenth; 
common   laborers,    sixteenth. 


ELECTRICAL       DEALERS       TO       CON- 
VENE AT  SANTA  CRUZ 


Invitations  are  being  issued  by 
Walter  F.  Price,  executive  secretary  of 
the  California  State  Association  of 
Electrical  Contractors  and  Dealers,  to 
members  of  the  organization  requesting 
them  to  attend  the  annual  state  con- 
vention to  be  held  in  Santa  Cruz, 
September  19.  20  and  21.  Besides  three 
regular  business  sessions  of  the  con- 
vention, there  has  been  arranged  a 
grand  ball,  official  banquet,  baseball 
game  and  golf  tournament.  The  base- 
ball game  is  scheduled  to  take  place 
Saturday  morning,  September  19,  and 
will  be  between  two  teams  representing 
the  contractors  and  jobbers.  This  event 
has  been  a  regular  feature  of  the  elec- 
trical conventions  and  great  rivalry  is 
always  in  evidence  between  the  sup- 
porters of  the  two  sides. 


EXPERIMENTAL     RAILWAY     CROSS- 
ING 


The  Indianapolis  Street  RailA'a" 
Co.,  Indianapolis,  Ind.,  early  this  year 
installed  an  experimental  crossing  at 
West  St.  and  the  canal  in  Indianapolis. 
The  company  made  steel  angle  iron 
frames  to  fit  the  different  parts  of  rail- 
road crossings,  and  filled  the  frames 
with  asphalt,  brick  reinforced  concrete 
and  Durax-granite  blocks.  They  were 
placed  in  the  crossing  on  a  bed  of  1 
part  cement  to  5  parts  of  sand  mixed 
dry. 


NAPA    Bl  ILDERS    TO   BANQUET 


Monday,  September  15,  is  the  date  set 
by  the  Napa  County  Builders'  Exchange 
for  its  annual  banquet  and  entertain- 
ment. W.  H.  Young,  Leo  Alexander 
and  Frank  A.  Pond  comprise  the  Com- 
mittee of  Arrangements.  Wade  Shif- 
flett  will  be  in  charge  of  the  entertain- 
ment features. 


With  the  approval  of  the  Code  of 
Lighting  School  Buildings  as  an  Ameri- 
can Standard  by  tlie  American  Engi- 
neering Standards  Committee,  a  de- 
mand for  definite,  detailed  and  up-to- 
ilate  specifications  for  lighting  school 
buildings,  on  the  part  of  the  architects 
of  school  buildings,  school  buildings, 
school  superintendents  and  school 
boards,  and  regulatory  bodies  has  been 
met. 

The  present  code  is  the  result  of  a 
thorough  revision  of  the  code  prepared 
and  issued  in  1918  by  the  Illuminating 
Engineering    Society.  A    number    of 

changes  and  improvements  in  lighting 
practice  itself,  since  the  1918  code  was 
issued,  have  made  necessary  its  re- 
vision to  conform  with  the  best  modern 
practice. 

I'onsiderable  interest  was  manifested 
in  the  original  code,  as  is  evidenced  by 
the  fact  that  it  was  adopted  shortly 
after  its  publication  by  the  New  York 
Slate  Department  of  Education  as  a 
guide  in  planning  the  artificial  light- 
ing of  school  buildings  in  that  state. 
The  Industrial  Commission  of  Wiscon- 
sin used  it  as  a  basis  for  the  prepara- 
tion of  the  Wisconsin  School  Lighting 
Code,  effective  1921.  Provisions  of  the 
code  have  been  incorporated  in  build- 
ing codes  in  several  states  and  muni- 
cipalities, and  has  led  to  marked  im- 
provements in  school  lighting  through- 
out the  country. 

The  new  code  differs  chiefly  from  the 
old  in  being  more  specific.  The  illumi- 
nation standards  have  been  raised  to 
conform  with  modern  practice;  speci- 
fications of  definite  requirements  under 
the  glare  rule  have  been  included;  a 
limiting  ratio  of  maximum  intensity  to 
minimum  intensity  in  class  rooms  has 
been  included  in  the  rule  relating  to 
distribution  of  artificial  light;  reflec- 
tion-factors have  been  specified  in  the 
rule  relating  to  color  and  finish  of  in- 
terior; the  rule  relating  to  exit  and  em- 
ergency lighting  has  been  amplified  and 
a  rule  relating  to  the  illumination  of 
blackboards  has  been  added. 

The  rules  themselves  are  clear  and 
concise,  occupying  less  than  four  pages. 
They  are  followed  by  a  non-technical 
discussion  of  the  importance  of  compli- 
ance with  them,  and  directions  for  car- 
rying them  out.  These  are  accompanied 
by  simple  diagrams,  illustrations  of 
good  and  bad  lighting,  etc. 

The  present  code  was  developed  and 
adopted  by  unanimous  action  of- a  large 
and  representative  sectional  committee 
made  up  of  official  representatives  of 
the  technical,  educational,  and  indus- 
trial organizations  concerned,  acting 
under  the  leadership  of  the  Illuminat- 
ing Engineering  Society,  and  the  Amer- 
ican Institute  of  Architects,

CHAS        PKTER      WEEKS       HONORED 

FOR   AUSTRALIAN   BUILDING 

DESIGN 


Seven  thousand  miles  from  the  cor- 
ner of  Fifth  and  Mission  streets,  San 
Francisco,  where  the  new  Chronicle 
building  lifts  up  its  tower  and  minarets 
in  symmetry  and  beauty,  the  great 
commonwealth  of  Australia  has  paid 
tribute  to  the  man  by  whose  genius  it 
was  created — Charles  Peter  Weeks,  San 
Francisco   architect. 

From  the  office  of  the  Department  of 
Works  and  Railways,  "on  his  majesty's 
service"  in  Melbourne,  Weeks  has  re- 
ceived notification  that  he  heads  the 
list  of  six  architects  in  all  parts  of  the 
world,  each  of  whom  has  been  awarded 
a  prize  of  $500  in  a  competition  for 
plans  for  the  proposed  $5,000,000  House 
of  Parliament  at   Canberra,   Australia. 

Following  the  official  government 
letter  awarding  him  the  first  prize  for 
his  work.  Weeks  received  a  missive 
from  Philip  B,  Hudson,  president  of 
the  Royal  Victorian  Institute  of  Archi- 
tects at  Melbourne,  congratulating  him 
upon  the  excellency  of  his  designs. 

The  letter   read   in  part: 

"Recently,  at  a  private  view,  I  was 
privileged  to  look  through  your 
sketches  for  the  proposed  competition 
in  connection  with  Parliament  House 
at  Canberra,  Australia.  Might  I  be 
allowed  to  congratulate  you  on  the  re- 
markably thorough  and  able  manner  in 
which  you  commenced  to  work  up  this 
fated   project? 

"In  common  with  others,  I  am  of 
the  opinion  that  your  sketches,  es- 
pecially your  rough  sketches,  are  very 
interesting  indeed." 

Weeks  is  a  member  of  the  firm  of 
Weeks    &    Day. 

From  the  nature  of  the  missives  it  is 
understood  that,  as  yet,  no  final  plans 
for  the  Parliament  building  at  Can- 
berra   have    I->een    selected.

Builders'    Day    Outing    Draws 

5000— Biggest    Event   Staged 


Announcement  is  made  of  the  ap- 
pointment of  Robert  Greig  of  Berkeley 
to  be  director  of  housing  under  the 
State  Immigration  and  Housing  Com- 
mission. 

Greig  will  take  office  September  1, 
succeeding  E.  G.  Bangs,  the  present  oc- 
cupant. Bangs  is  associated  with  John 
Galen  Howard.  San  Francisco  architect. 
He  is  retiring  to  devote  him  time  to 
private   business. 

The  newly  appointed  official  is 
familiarizing  himself  with  the  duties 
he  will  assume  on  September  1.  Al- 
though Greig  has  no  concrete  plans  for 
changing  the  administration,  he  said 
that  he  was  formulating  a  program  by 
which  he  hopes  to  increase  the  ef- 
ficiency of  the  commission. 

Greig  was  formerly  Building  In- 
spector of  Berkeley: 


BY    THE    OBSERVER 

Day   Outing 


Figures  compiled  by  the  State  Di- 
vision of  Water  Rights  show  that  $36,- 
802,484  will  be  expended  during  1924  in 
the  construction  of  irrigation  and 
water  conservation  projects  which  have 
been  started  since  January  1  of  this 
year. 

The  projects  under  construction  in- 
volve a  larger  area  than  in  past  years, 
although  the  number  approved  by  the 
division  engineers  is  not  as  great  as  in 
other  years.  Aside  from  the  cost,  the 
figures  of  the  division  show  that  the 
project  under  way  will  require  12,912 
cubic  feet  per  second  of  water,  a  total 
;jppropriated  acre  feet  per  annum  of 
;!.669,018  and  a  total  acreage  area  of 
2,354,449. 

The  figures  for  1923  reveal  that  39S 
applications  were  received,  requiring 
24,810  cubic  feet  of  water  per  second, 
8,164,100  acre  feet  per  annum  of  stor- 
age and  involved  1,576,979  acres, 


The  1924  Builders 
Casa  Del  Rey,  Santa  Cruz,  is  a  hap- 
pening of  the  past — but  a  happening 
that  will  go  down  in  history  as  one  of 
the  biggest  events  staged  by  the  con- 
struction industry  on  the  Pacific  Coast. 
Three  days — August  30,  31  and  Sep- 
tember 1.  Three  days  of  continuous 
pleasure.  Every  available  moment  was 
taken  up  by  some  unit  of  the  lengthy 
program.  Games  and  sports  for  the 
kiddies,  sensible  pleasures  and  an 
abundance  of  laughs  for  the  older 
folks. 

Swimming,  boating,  dancing,  all 
character  of  water  sports,  athletic 
events,  a  variety  of  comedy  surprises 
and  some  hundred  thousands  of  dollars 
of  amusement  concessions  at  the 
Casino  tendered  to  make  the  three-day 
festival  a  never-to-be  forgotten  week 
end  trip. 

Conservative  estimates  place  Build- 
ers' Day  attendance  at  five  thousand 
persons.  People  from  every  section  of 
the  state  and  particularly  from  the  San 
Joaquin  Valley,  the  Santa  Clara  Valley, 
San  Francisco  and  the  Bast  Bay  sec- 
tions  attended. 

Members  representing  various  Build- 
ers' Exchanges  in  Northern  and  Central 
California  sections  were  on  hand  in 
big  numbers. 

Paper  in  quantity  is  not  available 
t[or  ink  manufactured  that  would  per- 
mit publication  of  a  complete  story  on 
Builders'    Day   doings. 

More  than  two  thousand  dollars  in 
prize  awards  were  made,  the  prizes 
ranging  from  a  carload  of  sand  to  a 
tombstone  and  from  a  bottle  of  grape 
juice  to  a  box  of  golf  balls. 

However,  in  making  tl.e  rounds  with 
George  Dixon,  the  official  announcer, 
Elmer  Gallagher  and  Jack  Twyford, 
between  the  four  of  us  we  gathered  the 
following  information: 

Boxing  Context  Off 
Brickley  refused  to  go  ten  rounds 
with  Downey  as  he  lost  his  horse 
shoe.  Hence,  Downey  was  given  the 
decision  but  not  the  watch.  The  latter 
will  be  installed  in  the  Ferry  Tower. 

The  Ladies  Nail  Driving  and  Brick 
laying  Contests  caused  so  much 
laughter  and  excitement  that  we  were 
unable  to  find  out  who  won  these 
events. 

Kidillrsi'    Banquet 
The   Kiddies'  Banquet   went   over  big. 
Scotty    Bulterworth      and    Elmer      Gal- 
lagher    doing     the     clown     stuff,     made 
this  affair  a  big  success.     The  Mothers' 
Committee    did    effective    work    in    this 
event  and  the  kiddies  departed  from  the 
banquet     feeling     better     and     with     a 
handful  of  toys  and  goi  dies. 
TenniH    Maleb 
Charley    Gompertz    challenging    E.    J. 
Cardinal    won    the    tennis    tournament. 
Cardinal,    being      left    handed,      played 
with      a    right    hand      racquet,       hence, 
Charlie  won  the  match. 

Ralph  McLeran,  the  future  mayor  of 
San  Francisco,  assisted  by  Billie  George 
kept  the  Mayor  of  Santa  Cruz  busy 
answering  questions  as  to  Ralphs 
mayorality  campaign  which  he  plans  to 
open  in  the  early  future.  Ralph  got 
some  good  tips  and  will  probably  use 
them  in  his  fight. 

A.  Von  Hooydonk  called  in  his 
searching  party  Monday  at  6  I'.  M. 
Van  lost  his  hat  while  suffering  from 
an    attack    of   sea-sickness. 

Charlie  Hnlloway  Jr.,  is  still  in  Santa 
Cruz.  Charlie  likes  the  place  and  will 
return  when  the  storm  is  over.  Will 
Charlie,  on  his  return,  advise  why  Jack 
Bender  was  sent  to  Room  316? 
Mnn.sou  Loses  Voice 
Charlie  Munson  had  a  bad  trip.  First 
he  slipped  and  cracked  his  voice  and 
then  tried  to  shave — lathering  his  face 


with  tooth  paste.  As  a  final  he  had  a 
blow  out  on  the  return  trip,  his  car 
leaving  the  road  and  going  into  a 
ditch.  However,  good  luck  was  with 
.•lim,  for  Bill  Simpson  came  along  and 
picked  up  Charlie  and  his  wife,  the 
only  occupants  in  the  damaged  car. 

Chris  Hillard,  as  singer,  just  won't 
do.  Chris  certainly  was  not  in  line 
when  the  boys  were  telling  everybody 
that  "It  Ain't  Gunna  Rain  No  More." 

Brod  Rue  spent  considerable  time  at- 
tempting to  locate  Jack  Long  Saturday 
night.  We  wonder  if  Mrs.  Long  located 
her  missing  mate? 

Tnyford  on  Job 
Jack  Twyford,  assisted  by  Elmer 
Gallagher,  maintained  the  "Hospitality 
Bungalow"  in  Cottage  City.  Jack  had 
a  mat  at  each  door  with  the  sign 
"welcome"   in   ten   inch  letters. 

Eddie  Boyden  of  the  Chronicle  staff 
developed  his  write-up  pep  in  Steve 
Guerin's  auditorium.  Between  Guerin 
and  Boyden  everybody  in  Santa  Cruz 
became  acquainted. 

Scotty  Winchole,  the  singing  plaster- 
er from  Richmond,  responded  every 
time  he  was  called — and  Scotty  was 
called    very    often. 

Herman  Rahlman,  as  a  judge,  makes 
good.  He  recommended  the  awards  in 
the  Ladies'  Nail  Driving  Contest  which 
closed  without  an  argument. 

Scotty  Butterworth,  Elmer  Gallagher, 
E.  J.  Cardinal  and  Charlie  Gompertz 
offered  a  "hoarse"  song  in  the  hotel 
lobby  which  met  the  approval  of  every- 
body not  within  hearing  distance. 
Whirlwind  Feary 
Killie  Feary  did  his  stuff — and  in 
nrst  class  style.  Bill  was  as  busy  as  a 
doctor  in  a  "flu"  epidemic. 

Bob  Johnston,  secretary  of  the 
Plasterers'  Association,  played  host  for 
everybody  within  calling  distance. 
Pratt  Sends  AVire 
Sandy  Pratt,  originator  of  Builders' 
Day,  wired  from  Sacramento  telling  the 
boys  why  he  could  not  attend  the  out- 
ing. Sandy  expressed  his  desire  for  a 
100  7,,  attendance.  The  boys  responded 
with  "For  He's  A  Jolly  Good  Fellow." 

N.  A.  Dickey  and  his  staff  were  doing 
their  best.  Calls  to  their  headquarters 
were  fast  and  often. 

Tommy  Butler  did  some  very  effec- 
tive committee  work.  Tommy  worked 
the   program    from   four   corners. 

Steve  Mcl'herson  who  hails  from 
Berkeley  was  interested  in  the  Golf 
Tournament  but  put  in  most  of  his  time 
at  the  Bathing  Revue. 

Black  Jack  Hammond  put  in  con- 
siderable time  watching  the  weenies 
on  the  beach. 

Mike  Gnecco  has  his  suit  case  packed 
and  is  ready  for  the  next  outing. 
Russell  on  Job 
r  i;ussell,  who  throws  Stockton  Fire 
tJrick  for  a  living,  covered  every  inch 
of  ground  at  Santa  Cruz.  Russell  saw 
it  all  and  admts  it  was  a  great  party. 

Al  White  had  a  "shower"  in  his  room 
.vhir-h  v/as  in  constant  use. 

Joe  Odgers  covered  all  the  ground 
that  could  be  covered  at  Santa  Cruz.^ 
Joe  had  the  password  to  every  "shower" 
room  in  the  hotel  and  kept  the  aisles 
clear  of  traffic. 

Slim  Jim  Fennell  was  selling  tickets 
to  permit  the  holders  to  view  the  per- 
manent 


vaves    from    the    Casino    ball- 


Charlie  McTavish  and  Jack  Long  did

The  state  highway  department  of 
Missouri  has  compiled  data  which 
shows  that  it  costs  motor  vehicles  of 
that  state  an  average  of  2 '/4  cents  per 
mile  less  to  travel  over  modern  high- 
Way.s  than  over  unimproved  Missorui 
roads.  They  estimate  that  this  means 
an  annual  average  saving  of  $125  to 
each  motor  vehicle  in  the  state. 

"If  improved  roads  render  an  equal 
saving-  in  California,"  says  A.  B.  Loder, 
highway  engineer  of  California  State 
Automobile  Association,  "and  it  is  safe 
to  say  that  the  saving  in  this  state  is 
as  great  as  it  is  in  Missouri,  the  figures 
of  the  Missouri  engineers  applied  to 
our  1,200,000  motor  vehicles  represents 
a  saving  of  $150,000,000  annually. 
Figuring  that  even  one-half  of  our 
automobiles  utilize  the  improved  roads 
of  the  state  highway  system,  the  sav- 
ing totals  $75,000,000  annually — or  the 
saving  in  a  single  year  of  an  amount 
greater  than  the  total  of  i.'alifornia's 
state  liighway  bond  issues. 

"When  California  borrowed  money  at 
the  rate  of  4  y.  per  cent  interest  for 
the  building  of  its  state  highway  sys- 
tem, the  most  enthusiastic  promoters 
did  not  dream  that  its  4%  per  cent 
money  would  be  invested  in  an  enter- 
prise that  would  declare  100  per  cent 
dividends  annually." 


What  Is  the  status  of  the  construc- 
tion industry'?  This  is  an  important 
<lueslion  right  now,  especially  in  view 
of  the  fact  that  in  many  lines  of  In- 
dustry, business  so  far  this  year  falls 
far  short  of  that  of  last  year.  An- 
other important  factor  to  be  considered 
is  the  bearing  that  construction  has  on 
business  conditions  generally,  inas- 
much as  it  the  second  largest  industry 
In    the   country. 

The  question  may  best  be  answered 
by  a  careful  analysis  of  conditions  in 
a  number  of  widely  scattered  com- 
munities and  for  the  purpose  of  com- 
parison, twenty  typical  cities  are 
taken,  representing  the  various  sec- 
tions of  the  country. 

According  to  the  National  Associa- 
tion of  Building  Trades  Employers 
building  permits  issued  in  these  twenty 
cities  during  July  of  this  year  amount- 
ed in  round  numbers  to  139  million 
dollars,  while  the  June  valuation 
amounted  to  170  million,  a  decrease  of 
31  million.  However,  New  York  and 
Chicago  alone  are  responsible  tor  this 
difference.  Permits  issued  in  the  Ave 
l>oroughs  of  New  York  amounted  ap- 
proximately to  40  million  dollars  in 
July  and  58  million  in  June.  Chicago 
permits  amounted  to  approximately  19 
million  dollars  in  July  and  34  million 
in  June.  These  two  cities  therefore 
are  responsible  for  a  decrease  of  33 
million  dollars,  which  means  that  the 
total  value  of  permits  issued  in  the 
otlier  eighteen  cities  was  appro.ximate- 
ly  the  same  for  the  two  months. 

A  study  of  figures  for  this  same 
group  of  twenty  cities  over  the  first 
seven  months  of  this  year  shows  that 
the  total  value  of  permits  issued  ex- 
ceeds that  of  last  year  for  the  same 
period  by  about  89  million  dollars.  If 
business  keeps  up  during  the  last  five 
monthes  of  the  year,  and  there  is  every

reason  to  believe  that  it  will,  the  total 
volume  will  greatly  exceed  that  of  last 
year,  which  in  Itself  was  a  record 
breaker. 

The  figures  for  July  in  twelve  of  the 
twenty  cities  show  an  increase  over 
June,  and  the  remaining  eight  show  a 
decrease  which  with  the  exception  of 
New  York  and  Chicago  is  very  slight. 
Over  the  longer  period  taking  in  the 
first  seven  months  of  the  year,  eleven 
cities  show  an  increase  over  last  year, 
and  the  other  nine  register  a  decrease. 
New  York  has  the  biggest  gain  in  this 
period,  the  total  value  of  permits  is- 
sued in  the  five  boroughs  from  January 
1,  1924  to  August  1,  1924  being  $585,- 
760,152  as  opposed  to  $477,224,085  for 
the  same  period  last  year,  an  increase 
of   approximately   108   million   dollars. 

Chicago  on  the  other  hand  presents 
an  entirely  different  picture;  the  total 
value  of  building  permits  issued  there 
during  the  first  seven  months  of  this 
year  being  $179,510,270  as  compared  to 
$204,887,112  for  the  same  period  last 
year,  a  decrease  of  $25,376,842. 

The  other  eight  cities  registering  a 
loss  are  Los  Angeles,  Atlanta,  In- 
dianapolis, Minneapolis,  Kansas  City, 
St.  Louis,  Philadelphia,  and  Pittsburgh. 
The  cities  which  show  a  gain  during 
the  first  seven  months  of  this  year  over 
the  same  period  in  1923  are  in  addition 
to  New  York;  San  Francisco,  New 
Orleans,  Baltimore,  Boston,  Detroit, 
Buffalo,  Cleveland,  Dallas,  Seattle  and 
Milwaukee.  Of  these  Detroit  shows  the 
greatest  gain,  in  that  the  value  of  per- 
mits issued  there  during  the  period 
from  January  1,  1924  to  Aug.  1,  1924

Suit   for   Accounting   of 

Lumber    Plant   Sale    is    Opened 


G.  H.  Ward,  former  president,  man- 
ager and  majority  stockholder  in  the 
Ward  Lumber  Company  of  Modesto, 
now  engaged  in  the  lumber  business  at 
Santa  Rosa,  has  brought  suit  in  the 
superior  court  at  Modesto  against  H.  L. 
Say,  T.  H.  Kewin  and  E.  C.  Peck, 
principal  owners  of  the  Kewin  Lumber 
Company,  and  the  United  Bank  &  Trust 
Company  for  an  accounting  of  the 
transaction  which  transferred  owner- 
ship of  Ward's  interests  in  the  com- 
pany and  some  personal  property  to 
the  three  first  named  defendants  in 
May,  1923. 

According  to  claims  made  by  Ward 
in  his  complaint,  he  is  asking  for  ap- 
proximately $75,000. 

Ward  alleges  he  entered  into  a  con- 
tract with  the  defendants  in  May,  1923, 
to  sell  stock  in  the  Ward  Lumber  Com- 
pany, the  Falconbury  Lumber  Com- 
pany and  the  United  Bank  &  Trust 
Company,    also    all    his    interest    in    a 


ranch  near  Modesto  and  an  automobile. 
He  owed  the  lumber  company  $112,000, 
the  United  Bank  &  Trust  Company, 
$50,000,  and  T.  H.  Kewin,  $2000.  All 
held  securities  on  the  loans,  Ward 
claims. 

The  defendants,  according  to  the 
complaint,  agreed  to  pay  Ward  the 
book  value  of  his  stock  as  shown  by 
an  inventory.  He  now  alleges  they 
sold  the  property  first  and  then  took 
an  inventory  and  refused  to  make  a 
payment.  In  addition.  Ward  claims, 
they  took  80  shares  of  stock  in  the 
lumber  company,  valued  at  $105  a 
share,  which  was  not  assigned  to 
them. 

Ward  asks  an  accounting  and  his 
demands  total  about  $75,000.  He  is 
represented  by  Attorney  Stanley  Ped- 
der,  San  Francisco,  attorney,  and  At- 
torney E.   H.   Zion,   of  Modesto. 

The  bank  is  named  a  defendant  as 
it  held  the  stock.

SIX    PER   CENT   BIILDING   LOANS    ON 
PACIFIC    COAST    ANNOUNCED 

"S.  W.  Straus  &  Co.  loans  on  the 
Pacific  Coast  will  be  made  at  six  per 
cent  interest  from  now  on,  in  keeping 
with  a  policy  which  general  financial 
conditions  led  our  New  York  oflice  to 
adopt  some  weeks  ago,"  is  the  an- 
nouncement of  W.  K.  Bowes,  vice- 
president  of  S.  W.  Straus  &  Co.  and 
Pacific  Coast  director  of  loans  for  that 
company. 

"Call  money  rates,  generally,  are 
now  as  low,  and  in  some  cases  are 
lower,  than  they  were  during  the  years 
when  practically  all  ol  oui  loans  were 
made  at  six  per  cent.  Although  our 
clients  have  been  buying  six  and  one- 
half  and  even  seven  per  cent  bonds  of 
our  issues  for  several  years,  the  time 
has  come  when  we  must  reduce  the  in- 
terest rate  or  lower  the  standards  of 
security  to  which  all  Straus  loans  must 
measure  up,  and  that  is  a  policy  this 
company  will  never  adopt. 

"The  slowing  down  of  new  construc- 
tion during  recent  months,  particularly 
that  which  has  to  do  with  big  build- 
ings, has  been  due  in  a  measure  to  the 
anticipation  on  the  part  of  builders 
that  such  an  announcement  as  this 
would  be  made  and  we  believe  that 
many  such  enterprises,  much  needed 
and  promising  profitable  investment, 
will  promptly  be  commenced." 


GILBERT,    NEW    YORK    ARCHITECT,

Injunction    Issued  Blocking 

Merced    Dam    Cement    Purchase 


The  in.iunction  suit  against  the  Mer- 
ced IrriBaticm  District  to  prevent  ful- 
fillment of  the  Pacific  Portland  Cement 
Company's  contract  to  furnish  cement 
for  the  building  of  the  Kxchequer  Dam 
and  the  upper  works  of  the  proposed 
storage  area,  was  sustained  in  a  Judg- 
ment rendered  by  Judge  S.  U  Strother 
of  Fresno,  who   heard  the  case. 

The  suit  was  filed  by  Attorney  Ed- 
ward Treadwell  from  Frank  Krejci,  a 
taxpayer  in  the  district,  who  claimed 
that  prior  to  granting  of  the  contract 
to  the  Pacific  Portland  Cement  Com- 
pany, all  bids  should  have  been  re- 
jected and  new  bids  called  for.  Krejci 
stated  in  his  suit  that  a  lower  price 
might  have  been  obtained  if  new  bids 
has  been  sought  after  the  first  bids  had 
been   rejected. 

Under  the  original  call  for  bids  it 
was  proposed  to  purchase  350,000  bar- 
rels of  cement  to  be  delivered  at  the 
rate  of  from  15,000  to  30,000  barrels 
each  month,  beginning  about  Septem- 
ber 1. 

The  decision  of  Judge  Strother  grant- 
ing the  cement  award  injunction  is  in 
part   as  follows: 

The  only  question  to  be  consid- 
ered is,  whether  or  not  the  legis- 
lature has  required  the  body  to 
take  certain  steps  as  a  condition 
precedent  to  entering  into  such  a 
contract  as  this. 

It  has  been  argued  that  the  great 
extent  of  the  powers  granted  to  the 
board  should  be  considered  as 
tending  to  show  that  it  was  not  in- 
tended to  limit  them  in  their  ex- 
ercise The  powers  are  no  more 
extensive  than  those  granted  to 
many     like     bodies     unquestionably 


Cass  Gilbert,  famous  American  ar- 
chitect, and  designer  of  the  Woolworth 
building  and  many  other  world-known 
skyscrapers,  does  not  admire  sky- 
scrapers. 

Gilbert  admitted  this  during  a  visit 
to  London  in  connection  with  the  In- 
ternational Congress  on  Architectural 
Education,  at  which  he  was  a  speaker. 

"I  am  glad  London  has  not  taken  to 
building  skyscrapers,"  Gilbert  said.  "I 
doubt  if  they  are  of  benefit  anywhere. 
New  York  would  be  far  better  off  if  the 
buildings  there  were  of  a  more  mod- 
erate height. 

"Concentration  of  high  buildings 
mean  overcrowded  streets  and  congest- 
ed traffic.  One  of  New  Y'ork's  greatest 
problems  is  to  take  care  of  the  ebb 
and  flow  of  humanity  that  goes  in  and 
out  at  certain  hours  of  the  day." 


limited  in  the  manner  or  means  of 
their  exercise.  It  is  admited,  for 
instance,  that  this  board  cannot, 
under  the  provisions  of  section  53 
of  the  act,  let  a  contract  for  con- 
struction without  advertising  for 
bids. 

In  the  plans  and  specifications 
for  the  work  adopted  by  the  board, 
were  included  specifications  for  the 
cement.  If  proposal  "(a)"  has  been 
accepted  by  the  board,  unquestion- 
ably the  furnishing  of  the  cement 
would  have  been  part  of  the 
"work"  for  which  the  contract  was 
let.  Being  part  of  the  work  in 
one  respect  it  was  of  course,  a 
part  of  it  in  all  respects. 

The  Act  that,  after  publication 
of  notice  and  receipt  of  proposals, 
"the  board  shall  let  said  work 
either  in  portions  or  as  a  whole 
to  the  lowest  responsible  bidder, 
or  they  may  reject  any  or  all  bids 
and  readvertise  for  proposals  or 
may  proceed  to  construct  the 
work  under  their  own  superinten- 
dence." 

The  conclusion  seems  to  be  ir- 
resistible that  the  legislature  in- 
tended that  if  any  part  of  the  work 
was  let  upon  contract  pursuant  to 
the  published  notice,  the  rest  must 
lie  either  upon  proposals  received 
on'  the  original  notice,  or  upon  re- 
advertisement,  and  that  the  board 
are  onlv  authorized  to  proceed  in- 
dependently in  case  they  determine 
to  do  the  whole  work  "under  their 
own  superintendence." 

It  follows  that  the  injunction 
should  be  granted,  and  as  it  was 
stipulated  that  the  case  should  be 
submitted  for  final  determination 
upon  this  hearing,  the  injunction 
will  be  made  permanent. 

Judgment  is  ordered  accordingly. 


IllGHKU     GAS     TAX     ADVOCATED    TO 
FINANCE   HIGHWAYS 


EMPLOYES

Unless  some  means  ot  financing  are 
devised,  construction  of  new  roads  in 
California  by  the  state  must  cease. 
Highway  Commissioner  Harvey  M.  Toy 
announces.  Toy    declared     that     the 

state's  half  of  the  present  2-cent  gaso- 
line tax  is  used  wholly  for  maintenance 
and  reconstruction,  leaving  nothing  for 
new  roads. 

He  suggested  the  raising  of  $1,000,OOU 
a  month  more  by  making  the  gasoline 
tax  3  cents  and  raising  the  automobile 
license  from  ?3  to  $8  or  ?10,  the  entire 
sum  to  be  spent  in  building  new  roads. 

"The  Highway  Commission,"  he  said, 
"is  practically  broke.  The  only  work 
we  are  doing  is  in  co-operation  with 
counties  and  the  Federal  Government, 
where  the  cost  of  building  is  divided. 
On  roads  built  by  Federal  aid  the  Na- 
tional Government  pays  for  59  per 
cent    of    the    cost." 


Seventy-four  employes  of  the  Fair- 
mount  Wall  Plaster  Company,  of 
Clarksburg.  Va.,  have  acquired  $1,000 
insurance  each  under  a  !?roup  avrange- 
ment,  for  a  total  life  protection  of 
$80,000.  In  addition  to  the  life  in- 
surance, each  employee  when  sick  or 
injured  will  receive,  under  accident  and 
health  provisions  of  the  policy,  a  pay- 
ment of  $10  a  week  for  a  maximum  of 
twenty-six    weeks. 

The  policy  was  issued  by  the  Metro- 
politan Life  Insurance  Company  on  a 
contributory  basis  whereby  the  Fair- 
mount  company  and  the  workers  joint- 
ly  pay  the   premiums. 

In  addition  to  the  actual  insurance  of 
the  policy  the  employes  will  receive 
from  the  insurance  company  at  fre- 
quent intervals  its  health  and  sanita- 
tion publications.  They  may  also  take 
advantage  of  the  Metropolitan's  free 
nursing  service  provided  for  certain 
classes  of  policyholders,  if  they  reside 
in  places  where  it  has  been  established.

the  biennial  census  of  manufactures, 
1923,  the  establishments  engaged  pri- 
marily in  the  manufacture  of  cast-iron 
pipe  and  fittings  in  that  year  reported 
such  products  valued  at  $87,443,039,

in  the  total  value  of  products  as  com- 
pared with  1921,  the  last  preceding

a  statement  made  in  a  special  report 
on  the  building  situation  issued  by  the

A  chart  illustrating  the  report  shows 
that  material  costs  since  1914  have 
risen  much  faster  than  building  wages 
and  total  building  costs.  For  a  short 
period  in  1922  material  and  labor  costs 
ran   together. 

From  the  middle  of  1922  material 
costs  again  ran  ahead  of  wages,  but  at 
the  beginning  of  1924  material  prices 
declined  and  wages  rose  till  both  had 
reached  a  common  level  about  100  per 
cent  higher  than  in  1914.  The  report 
states  that  the  labor  shortage  stands 
out  as  the  most  important  factor  in  the 
construction    industry    today.

the  utility  or  the  good  .nppearance  of

glass  of  various  qualities  is  selected 
from  this  point  of  view. 

In  the  preparation  of  those  specifica-

ed from  manufacturers  and  distributors 
of  glass,  and  from  representatives  of 
the  American  Institute  of  .\rchitects, 
the  Federal  Supervising  Architect's 
Ottlce,  and  from  Sash  and  Door  Manu-

These  specifications  are  contained  in 
Circular  No.  164  of  the  Bureau  of 
Standards.  Copies  may  be  obtained 
from  the  Superintendent  of  Documents,

1933    PILE    AND   RASP    OUTPUT 

The  Department  of  Commerce  an- 
nounces that,  according  to  reports  for 
the  biennial  census  of  manufactures, 
ia23,  the  establishments  engaged  pri- 
marily in  the  manufacture  of  flies  and 
rasps  in  that  year  reported  such  pro- 
ducts valued  at  $11,361,939,  together 
with  other  classes  of  products  valued 
at  J256,629,  making  a  total  of  $11,- 
618,568.  The  rate  of  increase  represent- 
ed by  this  total  as  compared  with  1921, 
the  last  preceding  census  year,  was 
.51.9  per  cent. 

The  Coast  Rock  and  Gravel  Company 
of  San  Francisco  contemplates  early 
construction  of  a  crusthed  rock  plant 
at  Roche,  Tulare  County,  about  seven 
miles  east  of  Visalia,  on  the  Southern 
Pacific  Railroad.  It  is  expected  the 
plant  will  be  in  operation  about  Febru- 
ary 1,  1925.  Approximately  $250,000  will 
be  expended  in  construction  and  equip- 
ment, according  to  reports.  In  addi- 
tion to  a  rock  plant  at  Piedra,  the 
company  operates  sand  and  gravel 
plants  at  Fair  Oaks.  Oroville,  Niles,  El- 
liott, Marysville,  Los  Angeles  and  one 
at  a  point  a  short  distance  from  Niles 
on  the  Western  Pacific.  The  general 
offices  of  the  company  are  in  San 
Francisco.  The  officers  are:  F.  N. 
Woods,  Jr.,  president;  Frank  W.  Er- 
lin,  vice  president;  and  J.  W.  Riley,

PRODUCING    SYNTHETIC  AVOOD 

Synthetic  wood,  made  from  sawdust, 
is  now  a  regular  product  of  the  Wood 
Conversion  Company,  Cloquet,  Minne- 
.sota.  This  product,  made  into  boards 
four  feet  wide  and  sixteen  feet  long, 
comes  in  thicknesses  of  M  of  an  inch 
to  %  of  an  inch.  According  to  tests 
made,  this  material  has  a  uniformity 
that  is  lacking  in  natural  wood;  it  may 
be  sawed,  nailed,  sanded,  and  finished 
like  ordinary  lumber. 


Road   Expert   to   Suney   Economic 

Value  of  Reinforcement  in  Pavements 


.Announcement  is  made  by  Chas.  M. 
Upham,  Director  of  the  Advisory  Board 
on  Highway  Research  of  the  National 
Research  Council,  that  Mr.  C.  A.  Hog- 
entogler  of  the  U.  S.  Bureau  of  Public 
Roads,  has  been  granted  leave  of 
absence  in  order  to  conduct  for  that 
Board  a  fact-finding  survey  of  the 
economic  value  of  reinforcement  in 
concrete  pavements.  This  survey  is  to 
be  national  in  scope,  and  will  be  con- 
ducted in  co-operation  with  agencies 
interested  in  this  important  subject. 
It  is  proposed  to  cover  the  various 
soils,  traffic  and  climatic  conditions 
throughout   the  United  States. 

Mr.  Hogentogler  has  had  fifteen  years 
of  experience  in  highway  construction 
and  highway  research  which  well  qual- 
ifies liim  to  take  charge  of  the  present 
investigation.  After  graduation  from 
the  Pennsylvania  State  College,  and  a 
short  period  witli  the  Pennsylvania 
Steel  Company,  he  was  with  the  Penn- 
sylvania State  Highway  Department, 
fitllowed  by  several  years  on  street  and 
road  construction  with  the  Borough  of 
Columbia,  Pennsylvania.  For  two  years 
he  was  Assistant  Professor  of  Civil 
Kngineering  at  the  University  of  Idaho. 
He  was  then  engaged  in   research  with 


the  U.  S.  Bureau  of  Standards,  and 
finally  with  the  U.  S.  Bureau  of  Public 
Hoads  in  which  organization  he  has 
been   for  the   past  six  years. 

During  this  period,  Mr.  Hogentogler 
has  been  actively  engaged  in  a  number 
of  important  highway  researches.  These 
include  the  first  impact  and  water  tests 
at  Arlington  Farms  and  the  tests  to 
determine  the  cushioning  properties  of 
tires  now  being  conducted  by  the  U.  S. 
Bureau  of  Public  Roads  in  co-operation 
with  the  Rubber  Association  of 
.America  and  the  Society  of  Automotive 
I'ingineers.  In  1923  Mr.  Hogentogler, 
as  representative  of  the  Bureau  of 
I'ublic  Roads,  conducted  the  study  made 
in  co-operation  with  the  Advisory 
Board  on  Highway  Research  which  re- 
sulted in  the  publication  by  the  Na- 
tional Research  Council  of  its  Bulletin 
No.  35,  entitled  "Apparatus  Used  in 
Highway  Research  Projects  in  the 
United  States." 

Mr.  Hogentogler  is  the  author  of  a 
number  of  important  research  papers 
which  have,  appeared  in  "Public  Roads" 
and  were  reprinted  in  various  technical 
periodicals.  He  is  a  member  of  the 
American  Concrete  Institute  and  an 
Associate  Member  of  the  American  So- 
ciety  of  Civil   Engineers. 


Less   Cement   Makes    Stronger 

Road — State   officials   Declare 


At  the  time  of  adoption  of  a  new 
type  of  pavement  for  Washington 
state  highways,  a  lengthy  stretcii  was 
laid  on  the  Pacific  Highway  in  1922  and 
1923  and  it  is  stated  by  officials  of  the 
Washington  State  Highway  Depart- 
ment, that  the  new  surface  is  80  per 
cent   stronger   than  the  old   type. 

The  state  highway  department  now 
points  out  that  less  concrete  is  used 
under  the  new  specifications  and  that 
the  quantities  of  gravel,  sand  and 
steel  now  required  in  a  mile  of  paving 
is  of  mucli  interest.  The  highway  de- 
partment statement  is  to  the  effect 
that: 

"The  old  style  of  paving  was  to  lay 
concrete  7Vi  inches  thick  in  the  cen- 
ter and  6  inches  at  the  two  sides.  Ex- 
haustive tests  show  that  greater 
strength  is  given  by  paving  6%  inches 
thick  in  the  center  and  9  inches  on  the 
sides.  Slabs  of  concrete  are  joined  in 
tile  center  by  shear  bars  of  steel  that 
expand  and  contract  with  weather 
changes  exactly  as  does  concrete.  On 
the  road  the  pavement  begins  to 
thicken  2  feet  from  side  increasing 
until  a  full  nine  inches  is  provided. 

"On  a  20-foot  paving  the  old  style 
required  3,698  barrels  of  cement  per 
mile;    the    new    type    takes    3,667.        For 


the  same  pavement  1,100  cubic  yards  of 
sand  and  1,628  cubic  yards  of  gravel 
are  required.  Of  shear  bars,  5,834 
pounds  are  used. 

"There  is  a  great  deal  of  loose  talk 
about  cement  and  concrete,  even  some 
glues  used  in  mending  dishes  being 
termed  cement.  In  fact,  the  material 
that  goes  into  road  work  or  building 
is   the   only   true  cement. 

"There  are  two  kinds  of  cement: 
natural  and  manufactured.  The  natur- 
al cement  found  in  rock  deposits, 
burned  and  ground  up  before  using, 
has  little  strength  and  is  no  longer 
used. 

"All  manufactured  cement  is  'Port- 
land cement,'  though  a  great  many 
people  assume  that  'Portland'  means 
a  town  where  it  is  manufactured  or 
sold.  Three  ingredients  are  necessary 
for  Portland  cement  manufacture: 
limestone,  aluminum  clay  and  mag- 
nesium. There  is  comparatively  little- 
clay  in  this  state  suitable  for  the  man- 
ufacture of  cement.  In  Oregon  clay 
and  limestone  deposits  are  widely 
scattered  and  long  hauls  of  raw  ma- 
terials are  necessary.  Illinois,  as  an 
example  of  a  favored  state  has  vast 
deposits  of  limestone  and  shale  even 
close  to   big   trade  centers." 


ANTI-S.nOKE      MEET     SCHEDULED 


Shafer  Brothers'  Planing  Mill  at 
Montesano,  Wash.,  valued  at  $750,000, 
was  destroyed  by  fire,  Sept.  1. 


-A.  meeting  of  a  number  of  manufac- 
turing concerns  and  organizations  in- 
terested in  the  anti-smoke  ordinance 
introduced  in  the  San  Francisco  Board 
of  Supervisors  by  Supervisor  Margaret 
Mary  Morgan  will  be  held  shortly  un- 
der the  auspices  of  the  industrial  de- 
partment of  the  San  Francisco  Cham- 
ber of  Commerce.  F.  T.  Letchfleld,  di- 
rector of  the  Chamber's  industrial  de- 
partment, has  written  officials  in  New 
York,  Chicago,  Pittsburgh.  Detroit  and 
a  number  of  other  large  eastern  cities 
asking  for  the  copies  of  the  ordinances 
that  govern  the  smolve  nuisance  in 
those  cities.  The  forthcoming  meet- 
ing will  be  attended  by  industrial  and 
plant  engineers  and  it  is  hoped  that  as 
a  result  of  the  conference  an  ordinance 


that  would  overcome  some  of  the 
features  objected  to  in  the  ordinance 
now  before  the  supervisors  will  be 
agreed  upon.  The  California  Develop- 
ment Association  and  the  Southern 
Promotion  Association  will  take  part 
in    the  Conference. 


ZINC    PRODUCTION    DECLINES 


Production  of  zinc  during  July 
totaled  85,826,000  pounds,  representing 
a  slight  decline  from  the  preceding 
month  and  Sx  year  ago.  Stocks  of  zinc 
increased  over  June  holdings  and  were 
more  than  double  the  holdings  on 
August  1,  1923.  Zinc  retorts  in  opera- 
tion on  August  1,  1924,  totaled  71,827, 
as  against  75,155  on  July  1  and  82,075 
a  year  ago.

Standardize  On   Whitco  Hardware  For  Casements  and  Transoms 


Whitco  Insures  Better  Ventilation 


Whichever  way  the  wind  blows — in  any 
kind  of  weather — Whitco  equipped  case- 
ments can  be  set  to  give  the  best  possible 
ventilation — as  much  or  as  little  as  the 
occasion  demands. 

Not  only  does  it  do  away  with  unsightly  butts 
and  adjusters,  but  it  permits  the  sash  to  be 
opened  to  any  angle. 

Not  only  does  it  make  the  sash  stay  put  in  the 
desired  position,  but  holds  it  there  without  rattle 
in  any  wind. 

Instead  of  swinging  from  the  jamb,  shutting 
out  the  breeze  aiid  making  it  impossible  for  the 
outside  of  the  window  to  be  cleaned  from  the 


inside  of  the  room,  a  Whitco  equipped  sash  as 
it  is  opened,  travels  away  from  the  sash,  and 
when  swung  out  to  an  angle  of  90°  from  the 
frame  leaves  a  space  of  4J4"  between  the  sash 
and  the  jamb — plenty  of  opening  for  the  breeze 
to  come  in — plenty  of  room  to  get  at  the  outside 
surface  for  cleaning. 

Whitco  Hardware  can  be  applied  either  to  old 
or  new  sash  as  no  special  detail  is  required.  No 
special  finish  is  needed  as  Whitco  Hardware  is 
entirely  concealed  when  the  sash  is  closed.  A 
set  consists  of  two  pieces — one  for  the  top  and 
one  for  the  bottom  of  the  window.  One  size 
fits  all  sash.  May  be  used  either  right  or  left 
hand. 
Whitco  Hardware  is  also  ideal  for  transoms. 


Each  set  (equipm?

Effect  of  Quantity  of  Mixing  Water  on  the  Compressive  Strength  of  Concrete 

NOTE:  In  general  construction,  the  maximum  strength  can  rarely  be  obtained, 

but  it  is  possible  lo  obtain  70  to  90  per  cent  of  the  maximum  strength  without 

additional  expense  by  restricting  the  quantity  of  mixing  water. 


Observe  this  curve  closely.  It 
shows  impressively  the  efiect  of 
the  quantity  of  mixing  water  on 
the  strength  of  concrete. 

It  is  now  known  that  excess 
mixing  water,  not  only  weakens 
concrete,  but  that  it  is  actually 
wasteful  of  cement.  One  pint  of 
water  more  than  necessary  in  a  one- 
bag  batch  decreases  the  strength 
and  resistance  to  wear  as  much  as 
though  two  or  three  pounds  of 
cement  were  left  out. 

Here  is  a  fact, which  if  brought 
home  to  the  superintendent  and 
the  foreman,  can  be  of  great  prac- 
tical value  in  raising  quality  on 
the  job. 


Wouldn't  you  like  to  have,  right 
at  hand  for  quick  reference,  a  prac- 
tical manual  which  tells  how  the 
quantity  of  mixing  water  can  be 
closely  controlled,  so  as  to  give 
concrete  greater  strength  without 
using  any  more  cement? 

Then  write  today  for  our  free 
booklet,  "Concrete  Data  for  En- 
gineers and  Architects."  We  will 
be  glad  to  send  you  extra  copies 
for  superintendents  and  foremen. 

Take  full  advantage  of  the  serv- 
ice the  Portland  Cement  Asso- 
ciation has  to  ofier.  One  of  the 
District  Offices  of  the  Associa- 
tion is  always  near  you.  Get  ac-

Accomplishments  of  the  recent  elec-

in  Mexico  City  were  outlined  by  Allen 
H.  Babcock,  electrical  engineer  and  of- 
ficial conference  representative  of  the 
United  States  Government,  at  a  lun- 
cheon meeting  of  the  San  Francisco 
Development  League  held  in  the  Palace 
Hotel,  August  25. 

"We.  entered  the  conference,"  said 
Babcock,  "in  the  earnest  desire  to  co- 
operate with  any  program  that  would 
improve  communication  services  be- 
tween the  peoples  of  this  hemisphere. 
But  it  was  impossible  to  join  witii  (he 
eighteen  Northern,  Central  and  South 
American  states  represented  on  prin- 
ciples that  the  contrary  to  the  national 
policies  of  the  United  States  Govern- 
ment. Our  delegates  could  not  agree 
to  accept  a  program  that  substituted 
government  ownership  and  operation 
for  private  ownership  and  operation. 
All  the  nations  represented  signed  the 
ciinvention  resolutions  but  the  United 
States."

Eighteen  water  appropriation  per- 
mits, providing  for  a  $200,000,000  hy- 
droelectric project  to  be  developed  by 
the  Southern  California  Edison  Com- 
pany of  Los  Angeles,  has  been  issued 
by  the  State  Division  of  Water  Rights. 

The  power  project  is  the  largest  ever 
proposed  in  California  and  one  of  the 
greatest  ever  proposed  in  the  United 
Stales. 

The  development  work  contemplated 
by  the  Southern  Edison  Company  would 
be  confined  to  Fresno  and  Madera 
counties. 

Storage  reservoirs  are  to  be  con- 
structed as  part  of  the  power  scheme, 
which  will  mean  the  development  of 
practically  the  entire  watershed  of  the 
San  Joaquin  river  above  the  1000-foot 
level.

Remixes  Concrete 

When  materials  have  passed  through  mixing  process 
once,  and  come  to  discharging  side  of  the  drum, 
the  reversed  discharge  chute  sprays  them  back  to 
the  charging  side  for  repeated  trips  through  the  5- 
action,  remixing  process.  This  spraying-showering 
action,  at  the  same  time  prevents  separation  of  aggre- 
gate according  to  size.  To  the  last  shovelful  of  every 
batch,  Koehring-mixed  concrete  is  uniform,  re-mixed 
concrete — dominant  strength  concrete— and  to  every 
last  casting  and  bearing,  the  Koehring  is  the  heavy 
duty  mixer  of  trouble-proof,  long  service  life.

OAKLAND  TO  STANDARDIZE  SCHOOL 
CONSTRUCTION 


An  entirely  new  system  of  handling 
the  construction  of  schools  will  be  im- 
mediately established  by  the  Oakland 
Board  of  Education,  according  to  an- 
nouncements made  by  W.  R.  Whelan, 
superintendent    of    construction. 

The  new  policy  calls  for  standardiza- 
tion of  plans  for  all  school  rooms,  Tor 
all  material  used  in  the  construction 
and  for  all  of  the  equipment  and  fix- 
tures to  be  used  after  the  schools  are 
completed.  It  also  calls  for  the  unit 
plan  of  construction  under  -which  new 
class  rooms  may  be  added  as  needed. 
Outstanding  advantages  of  the  new 
system  are  to  be  found  in  the  fact  it 
assures    100   per   cent   efficiency. 

In  standardizing  the  construction  it 
is  pointed  out  that  there  will  be  no 
standardization  of  design.  Architects 
will  not  be  hampered  in  originating 
artistic  exteriors.  The  interiors,  how- 
ever, must  conform. 

"In  connection  with  this  standardi- 
zation we  are  working  out  a  system 
of  units.  Each  unit  will  consist  of  so 
many  rooms.  "With  proper  accommoda- 
tions for  pupils  and  teachers,"  Whelan 
explained.  "One  of  the  radical  changes 
in  the  new  elementary  schools  will  be 
that  of  making  the  assembly  hall 
serve  also  as  a  gymnasium.  This  will 
effect  economy  of  space  and  of  con- 
struction." 


That  a  building  and  loan  association 
cannot  legally  contract  to  furnish  any 
savings  shares  whose  matured  value 
has  not  been  fully  paid  into  the  asso- 
ciation, is  the  opinion  rendered  by  At- 
torney General  John  H.  Dunbar  to 
Director  L,.  D.  IMcArdle  of  the  Wash- 
ington State  department  of  taxation 
and  e.xamination,  relative  to  a  charge 
of  $2  a  share  attempted  to  be  made  by 
some  associations. 

"This  being  true,"  says  the  opinion, 
"it  follows  that  such  association  can 
lawfully  charge  or  contract  for  a  mem- 
bership fee  only  as  to  such  shares  as 
have  been  fully  paid  for  by  the  excess 
of  his  deposits  over  the  amount  rep- 
resented by   his   fully  paid   shares." 

In  reaching  this  conclusion  the 
opinion  says: 

"Since,  therefore,  it  is  entirely  op- 
tional with  the  purchaser  of  savings 
shares  as  to  the  times  and  amounts 
of  payments  thereon,  were  it  permis- 
sible for  the  association  to  talie  sub- 
scriptions or  accept  applications  for 
blocks  of  savings  shares  in  advance  of 
any  substantial  portion  of  such  shares 
being  paid  in,  such  association  would 
be  in  a  position  to  accept  subscriptions 
for  all  of  the  shares  representing  its 
capital,  without  actually  receiving  a 
working  capital  and  without  its  sub- 
scribers being  liable  therefor,  either  to 
the  association  or  its  creditors. 

"We  cannot  believe  it  to  have  been 
the  legislative  purpose  to  place  such 
association  so  far  beyond  the  pale  of 
the  ordinary  corporations  whose  cap- 
ital, or  organization,  is  represented  l3y 
the  funds  paid  in  or  which  it  con- 
tracted to  be  paid  in  on  demand,  by  the 
stock   subscribers." 


SAVING   P.4INT  ON   CONCRETE  FROM 
THE    ACTION    OF    FREE    LIME 


When  paint  or  varnish  having  a  lin- 
seed oil  base  is  applied  to  an  untreated 
surface  of  fresh  concrete  it  is  likely 
that  free  lime  or  other  caustic  material 
in  the  concrete  will  react  with  the  oil 
of  the  paint  and  cause  disintegration 
and  failure  of  the  paint.  To  prevent 
such  action  the  surface  of  the  concrete 
should  be  treated  with  a  thorough 
coating  of  zinc  sulphate  solution  pre- 
pared by  dissolving  three  pounds  of 
zinc  sulphate  crystals  in  a  gallon  of 
water.  The  solution  may  be  applied 
with  a  brush,  spray,  or  in  the  case  of 
small  units,  by  dipping.  This  treatment 
will  neutralize  any  caustic  material  in 
the  concrete  and  after  it  has  dried 
thoroughly  (about  24  hours)  the  paint 
or  varnish  may  be  applied. — Concrete. 


LACK         OF         INTEREST         DEFEATS 
BAKERSFTELD   WATER   BONDS 


Lacking  361  votes  of  a  two-thirds 
majority,  the  proposed  bond  issue  of 
$1,500,000  of  the  Bakersfleld  Municipal 
Water  District  was  defeated.  The 
total  vote  was  2297,  of  which  1127  was 
cast  against  and  1170  for  the  bond 
issue.  The  district  required  a  total  of 
1531  out  of  2297  votes  in  order  to  carry 
a  two-thirds  majority.  Predictions  were 
made  before  the  closing  of  the  polls 
that  even  a  majority  vote  would  not  be 
obtained  for  the  bond  issue,  as  voters 
were  indifferent.  Within  the  past  two 
weeks  a  canvas  had  been  made,  in 
which,  it  is  said,  that  while  the  voters 
were  lacking  in  enthusiasm,  the  poll 
indicated  that  the  people  of  the  city 
were   favorable   to   the  bond   issue. 


The  people  of  the  tJnited  States  are 
showing  an  increased  interest  in  zon- 
ing to  control  the  use,  height  and  area 
of  liuildings  in  various  districts  of  their 
communities,  and  in  consequence  zon- 
ing laws  have  been  enacted  or  are  be- 
ing considered  by  nearly  every  state  in 
the  Union.  The  first  step  is  to  adopt  a 
state  zoning  enabling  act  after  which 
the  authorities  of  the  cities,  towns, 
boroughs,  villages  or  other  municipali- 
ties may  adopt  zoning  ordinances  to  fit 
local   conditions. 

Thirteen  of  the  states  that  have  en- 
acted zoning  legislation  since  January 
1,  1923,  have  used  all  or  a  substantial 
portion  of  "A  Standard  State  Zoning 
Enabling  Act,  which  was  prepared  by 
the  Advisory  Committee  on  Zoning  of 
the  Department  of  Commerce  to  serve 
as  a  model  for  those  desiring  to  in- 
troduce zoning  legislation  in  their 
states.  The  great  care  used  in  the 
preparation  of  the  Standard  Act  had 
much  to  do  with  its  favorable  recep- 
tion. 

During  1925  the  legislature  of  34 
states  will  meet,  most  of  them  early  in 
January,  and  it  is  expected  that  zoning 
legislation  will  occupy  a  prominent 
place  on  the  legislative  calendars.  In 
nine  of  these  states  which  have  not  as 
yet  passed  zoning  legislation,  various 
groups  plan  to  have  zoning  enabling 
acts  considered  early  in  the  sessions. 
In  some  of  the  other  25  states,  which 
now  have  zoning  laws,  plans  are  being 
made  to  extend  the  application  of  their 
acts  since  they  grant  the  privilege  of 
zoning  only  to  single  cities  or  specific 
groups. 

The  thirteen  states  which  have  used 
the  Standard  Act  in  whole  or  in  part 
since  its  tentative  publication  in  1923, 
follow:  Colorado,  Delaware,  Illinois, 
Iowa,  Nevada,  New  Jersey,  North  Caro- 
lina, North  Dakota,  Oklahoma,  Pennsyl- 
vania, Rhode  Island,  South  Carolina 
and   Wyoming. 


The  possibility  of  skyscrapers 
towering  750  feet  into  the  air  is  be- 
coming more  imminent  with  the  per- 
fection of  vertical  systems  of  trans- 
portation, which  surpasses  the  present 
type  of  elevator  system  now  employed 
in  office  buildings,  Arthur  Longedyke 
of  New  York,  said  in  a  report  sub- 
mitted to  the  convention  of  the  Na- 
tional Association  of  Building  Owners 
and   Managers. 

"Plans  have  been  made  for  elevator 
cars  controlled  by  a  push  button  sys- 
tem to  serve  a  building  sixty  stories  in 
height,  running  an  express  service 
similar  to  an  express  service,  on  a  rail- 
way," said  Langedyke,  "Stops  at  the 
tenth,  twentieth,  thirtieth  and  every 
ten  floors  to  the  top  are  provided,  with 
a  local  service  for  each  ten  fioors. 
While  the  plan  may  not  be  put  in  op- 
eration in  the  immediate  fjuture,  I 
mention  it  as  an  illustration  of  the 
possibilities  in  future  buildings  of 
great  height." 

The  push  button  system  "will  be  in- 
stalled in  the  new  Standard  Oil  build- 
ing in  New  York,  he  declared.  Under 
the  system,  the  passenger  announces 
his  fioor  as  he  steps  in  the  elevator 
and  the  operator  pushes  a  button  for 
that  floor.  The  car  is  not  stopped  until 
it  reaches  the  floor  for  which  the  but- 
ton has  been  pushed,  unless  prior  to 
reaching  that  floor  it  arrives  at  one 
where  there  is  a  waiting  passenger 
who    has    pushed    a    floor    button.

Responding  actively  to  the  slogan 
••The'  practical  application  of  highway 
research,"  sounded  by  Director  Charles 
M.  Upham  of  the  Advisory  Board  on 
H  ghway  Research  of  the  National 
Refearch  Council,  forty  State  Highway 
commissions  have  already  -nanied  rep- 
rerentatives  on  this  Board.  Through 
[he  State  representation,  the  Highway 
Commissions  and  the  Advisory  Board 
will  have  a  medium  whereby  researffih 
problems  may  be  thoroughly  studied. 
The  problems  will  be  brought  to  the 
attention  of  the  various  States  and 
others  engaged  in  highway  research, 
and  the  solutions  will  be  made  known 
to  the  State  Highway  Commissions 
through  their  representatives,  or  con- 
tact men.  Announcement  is  made  that 
the  Annual  Meeting  of  the  Advisory 
Board  will  be  held  at  the  new  National 
Research  Council  building,  Washington, 
D  C  on  December  4th  and  5th.  when 
the  various  committees  will  report  and 
a  program,  to  be  announced  later,  will 
be  presented.  It  is  expected  that  there 
will  be  present  at  this  meeting  a  rep- 
resentative from  each  State  Highway 
Commission,  as  well  as  representatives 
of  the  member  organizations  of  the 
Board  and  others  interested  in  its 
work. 


Berger  &  Carter  Co.  of  San  Fran- 
cisco has  been  purchased  by  A.  M. 
Castle  &  Co.,  iron  and  steel  jobbers  of 
Chicago.  The  purchasing  company  has 
large  warehouses  in  Chicago  and  of- 
fices throughout  the  United  States.  It 
is  affiliated  with  a  number  of  import- 
ant mill  interests.  The  Berger  & 
Carter  Co.  has  been  in  business  in  San 
Francisco  for  21  years.  Otto  Ajl  Ber-

than  Los  Angeles  Harbor  has  transact- 
ed in  the  33  years  from  1890  to  1923. 
San  Francisco's  foreign  trade  in  1923 
was  $327,209,118  compared  with  a  total 
of  $283,393,064  for  Los  Angeles  during 
the  entire  33  years  since  it  became  a 
shipping  center.  The  foreign  com-

people  are  dependent  for  their  living 
upon  the  construction  industry  and  22 
per  cent  of  all  the  skilled  and  unskilled

The  Electrical  Board  of  Trade  of 
New  York  has  recently  decided  that 
liability  insurance  is  not  overhead.  The 
board  believes  that  it  is  just  as  much  a 
part  of  the  cost  or  the  work  as  are 
conduit  and  wire.  It  is  essential  to 
the  work  and  is  money  expended.  The 
board  held  that  the  contractor  was  en- 
titled to  overhead  and  profit  on  this  ex- 
lunditure.  The  complainant  in  a  case 
conceded  that  the  actual  amount  ex- 
pended should  be  repaid  to  the  con- 
tractor but  did  not  at  first  see  that  the 
lontractor  was  entitled  to  a  profit  on 
this  item.  He  finally  admitted  that  it

Bonuses  tolaling  approximately  S.'iOOO 
were  distributed  to  forty  employes  of 
the  Paul  Steenberg  Construction  Com- 
pany, St.  Paul,  Minn.,  for  continued  and 
faithful  service.  The  Steenberg  plan 
is  rather  unusual  in  the  building  in- 
dustry, where  the  labor  turnover  is 
generally  large.  Mr.  Steenberg  says 
the  bonus  plan  has  solved  his  labor 
problem,  for  most  of  his  employes  have 
continued  in  the  organization  for  a 
number  of  years. 

The  Steenberg  company  operates  on 
the  open  shop  plan  and  pays  the 
standard  scale  of  wages  to  the  men. 
When  profits  are  figured  at  the  end  of 
the  year  the  first  10  per  cent  is  set 
aside  for  paying  dividends  on  the  stock, 
and  the  remainder  is  divided  equally 
between  the  firm  and  the  employes. 

The  plan  as  first  started  included 
only  foremen,  but  now  it  has  been  ex- 
tended to  include  the  entire  organiza- 
tion. In  order  to  participate  in  the 
bonus,  a  day  laborer  must  have  earned 
at  least  $.500  during  the  year,  a  skilled 
worker  must  have  earned  at  least  $800. 

During  the  past  years  the  Steenberg 
company  completed  two  large  jobs  in 
St.  Paul  and  another  in  Dubuque. —

York   City. 

Aside  from  the  regular  business  ses- 
sions of  the  Council  and  the  meetings 
of  the  Board  of  Governors  and  its  Ex- 
ecutive Committee,  the  following  sub- 
jects are  among  those  on  the  program 
for   the  general  sessions: 

Better  Building — Discussion  of  ways 
and  means  to  insure  better  quality  of 
construction  and  the  promotion  of 
greater  responsibility  among  all  ele- 
ments having  to  do  with  construction. 
Report  of  the  Council's  committee  on 
better  building. 

Engineering  Construction  • —  Discus- 
sion of  fundamental  relationships  be- 
tween the  elements  of  the  industry  per- 
taining to  engineering  construction,  in- 
cluding field  projects,  highway  con- 
struction,  public  carriers,  etc. 

Apprenticeship — A  survey  of  the  ap- 
■  prenticeship  movement  for  the  build- 
ing trades  throughout  the  country.  Re- 
port of  the  Council's  committee  on  ap- 
prenticeship and  its  affiliated  groups. 

The  Building  Congress  Movement — - 
Group  meeting  of  the  various  local 
Building  Congresses  throughout  the 
country.  Discussion  of  principles  and 
procedure  underlying  the  organization 
and  administration  of  Building  Con- 
gresses   for    given    localities. 


PAST  8   MONTHS    BlILDING 


An  allowance  of  3  per  cent  of  the 
construction  cost  of  dwellings  for  light- 
ing fixtures  is  being  urged  by  dealers 
throughout  various  sections  of  the 
country.  Often  no  provision  is  made 
for  lighting  fixtures  and  where  an 
amount  is  stipulated  it  is  too  small. 
Fixtures  are  the  last  thing  put  into  a 
house  and  when  the  owner  is  short  of 
money  it  is  a  common  practice  to  put 
in  cheap  fixtures  with  the  expectation 
of  replacing  them  with  better  ones, 
which    is   seldom  done. 

"Men  engaged  in  the  lighting  in- 
dustry say  the  average  cost  of  lighting 
installation  in  the  average  house  has 
been  about  1  per  cent  of  the  construc- 
tion cost,"  says  the  Improvement  Bul- 
letin. 

"Allotments  for  plumbing  and  heat- 
ing installation  are  usually  quite  care- 
fully figured  out  at  the  time  the  plans 
are  made,  with  allotments  provided 
therefor  of  from  5  to  15  per  cent  of 
the  total   cost  of  construction. 

"It  is  a  mistake  to  equip  homes  that 
have  attractive  interior  finish  and 
beautiful  furnishings  with  cheap  and 
unattractive  fixtures,  out  of  harmony 
with  the  architect's  design.  The  light- 
ing fixtures  should  enhance  the  beauty 
of  the  home — not  detract  from  it. 
Cheap  lighting  fi.xtures  in  an  otherwise 
attractive  home-  are  comparable  to  a 
bargain  counter  necklace  worn  with  a 
costly  evening  gown. 

"Sometimes  the  owner  compromises 
on  a  few  good  pieces  in  the  living  room 
and  dining  room,  with  cheap  fixtures 
elsewhere  throughout  the  house.  The 
result  is  absurdly  incongruous. 

"The  movement  for  a  3  per  cent  al- 
lowance for  lighting  fixtures  started  in 
Detroit.  The  National  Association  of 
Lighting  Equipment  Dealers  embarked 
upon  a  campaign  to  arouse  architects 
and  owners  to  the  importance  of  select- 
ing fixtures  in  harmony  with  the  home, 
and  to  set  aside  a  definite  sum  for 
that  purpose.  The  3  per  cent  idea 
preached  by  dealers  has  been  slowly 
spreading.  Lighting  equipment  men  in 
Minnesota  have  taken  it  up,  and  are 
engaged  in  a  campaign  to  emphasize 
the  importance  of  choosing  fixtures  in 
harmony  with  the  rest  of  the  home — 
and,  furthermore,  of  choosing  them  be- 
fore the  house  has  been  built. 

"Good  lighting  fixtures  are  an  in- 
tegral part  of  good  interior  decoration, 
and  inharmonious  or  inartistic  fixtures 
\vill  ruin  an  otherwise  perfect  scheme 
of  interior  decoration." 


Building  construction  for  the  first 
eight  months  of  this  year  has  reached 
a  total  of  $3,429,000,000,  according  to 
a  review  made  public  by  the  Indiana 
Limestone  Quarrymen's  Association, 
based  on  reports  from  a  thousand 
cities  and  towns. 


RESERVOIR     PROBE     STARTED 


H.  H.  Hawgood  and  G.  S.  Binckle.y, 
consulting  engineers,  and  Stanley 
Bent  of  Bent  Bros.,  general  engineering 
contractors,  all  of  Los  Angeles,  have 
been  appointed  by  the  city  of  South 
Pasadena  to  investigate  the  cause  of 
the  failure  of  the  6,000,000  gallon  water 
reservoir  in  that  city  early  on  the 
morning  of  August  31.  The  reservoir 
had  just  been  completed  and  contained 
about  5,000,000  gallons  of  water.  A 
residence  and  school  building  were  in- 
undated. The  reservoir  was  partly 
excavated,  with  a  20-ft.  embankment 
about  ground,  and  was  lined  with  con- 
crete reinforced  with  wire  mesh.  R. 
B.  Bergund  was  the  builder,  his  con^ 
tract  amounting  to  about  $26,000.

TOO    MAINY    ODD    SIZE    DOORS    SEEK 
SIMPLIFICATION 

Likelihood  of  early  surveys  leading 
to  a  reduction  in  the  types  and  sizes 
of  doors  manufactured  by  the  millwork 
industry  throughout  the  country  is  in- 
dicated by  the  Division  of  Simplified 
Practice,  Department  of  Commerce. 
Suggestions  tor  such  action  have  come 
within  the  last  few  days  to  the  Di- 
vision from  two  important  sources. 
One  of  these,  the  Southern  Sash,  Door 
,fe  Millwork  Manufacturers'  Associa- 
tion, in  a  convention  held  recently  in 
Asheville,  N.  C,  adopted  formal  reso- 
lutions endorsing  the  lumber  standard- 
ization program  adopted  a  few  months 
ago  and  which  became  effective  on  July 
1.  The  other  was  from  a  big  manufac- 
turing company  in  Tacoma,  Wash. 

"We  are  wondering,"  wrote  this 
firm,  "if  some  action  could  not  be  taken 
in  the  stock  door  industry  to  eliminate 
many  needless  types  and  sizes  of  doors 
which  the  manufacturers  are  called 
upon  to  make.  *  *  »  There  are  cer- 
tain standard  types  and  sizes  of  doors 
which  constitute  the  bulk  of  the  doors 
manufactured  in  stock  factories.  There 
are,  however,  many  customers  who 
order  a  stock  pattern,  but  who  insist 
on  some  slight  deviation,  usually  for 
no  better  reason  than  the  fact  that  they 
have  always  received  them  in  this  way 
before.      *      • 

"We  are  confident  that  the  stock  door 
factories  in  this  section  would  welcome 
some  effort  to  simplify  the  business. 
*  •  We  also  believe  that  the  distribu- 
tors and  dealers  in  sash  and  doors 
would  be  in  favor  of  such  a  movement." 

Indications  have  shown  that  South- 
ern dealers  in  this  commodity  are 
heartily  in  favor  of  a  simplification  of 
sash,  doors  and  millwork  generally; 
and  the  subject  is  being  investigated  in 
other  section  of  the  country  to  ascer- 
tain the  reactions  of  the  distributors 
and  dealers,  the  Division  reported. 


WOOD  PRESERVATION   RESEARCH 


Director  B.  R.  Wiedlein  of  Mellon 
Institute  of  Industrial  Reasearch  of  the 
University  of  Pittsburgh  has  announc- 
ed the  founding  of  an  industrial  Fel- 
lowship on  the  treatment  of  timber. 
This  research,  which  is  beins  sustained 
by  the  Grasselli  Chemical  Company,  of 
Cleveland,  O.,  and  is  being  conducted 
by  Dr.  A.  M.  Howald,  has  tor  its  pur- 
pose a  study  toward  improvement  of 
the  methods  of  applying  zinc  chloride 
in  the  wood  preservation  industry. 

Investigational  work  which  was  be- 
gun during  1923  will  be  continued 
throughout  the  present  year.  An  ex- 
perimental wood-impregnating  plant  is 
maintained  for  practical  tests  of  pro- 
cesses. Research  is  at  present  being 
done  under  the  supervision  of  Dr.  How- 
ald on  the  development  of  a  method  of 
increasing  the  perrhanence  of  zinc 
chloride  treatments  of  timber  by  the 
addition    of  petroleum   oils. 


LUMBER    CONTRACTOR    SUES 


More  than  a  million  dollars'  damages 
are  asked  by  J.  P.  Cox,  lumber  con- 
tractor, well  known  in  the  Pacific 
Northwest  section,  in  a  superior  court 
case  started  at  Boise,  Idaho,  against 
the  Milwaukee  Lumber  Company  of  St. 
Maries,    Idaho. 

The  suit  is  in  the  nature  of  a 
breach-of-contract  suit.  Cox  declares 
in  his  complaint  that  as  a  result  of  a 
loss  of  profits,  due  to  the  alleged 
breach,  he  was  damaged  to  the  extent 
of  n. 115, 876. 

He  charges  the  lumber  company 
with  endeavoring  to  embarrass  him 
financially  and  to  ruin  his  credit  and 
with  attempts  to  break  the  contract  so 
that  a  new  one  might  be  made  whereby 
he  would  have  received  less  than  mar- 
ket price  for  logging  off  lands  in  Bene^ 
wah    County. 


August    Building    Summary 

That  the  resumption  of  building  activity  on  the  Pacific  Coast  noted  in 
.luly  was  sustained  in  August  is  evidenced  by  reports  of  building  Permits 
issued  during  the  past  month  in  77  cities  comprised  in  the  Pacific  Coast  sec- 
tion of  the  National  Monthly  Building  Survey  of  S    W.  Strauss  &  Co. 

Following  are  the  official  August,  1924  construction  figures  reported  by 
building  department  executives,  from  the  various  cities  comprised  in  the  S.  W. 
Strauss  &  Co.  building  survey  for  the  Pacific  Coast  States:

$35,000     SLIT 


A  suit  to  recover  damages  aggre- 
gating $35,103.55  has  been  filed  in  the 
superior  court  at  San  Jose  by  George 
Milias  of  Gilroy,  naming  J.  E.  O'Mara, 
contractor,  as  defendant.  According 
to  the  complaint  filed  by  Milias, 
O'Mara  and  he  entered  into  a  contract 
in  October,  1921.  whereby  O'Mara  un- 
dertoolv  to  furnish  and  install  certain 
fi.xtures  in  a  hotel  under  construction 
at  Gilroy,  among  other  things  to  com- 
plete in  a  workmanlike  manner  all  the 
plumbing  work,  including  the  hot 
water  piping  with  appropriate  valves. 
Milias  claims  that  the  hot  water  sys- 
tem was  not  successful  as  he  was  un- 
able to  supply  hot  water  to  about  15 
rooms  and  to  other  rooms  the  flow  was 
only  lukewarm,  which  interfered  with 
renting  and  injured  his  business.  He 
states  that  it  will  cost  from  $10,000  to 
$15,000  to  replace  the  plumbing  in  the 
building,  to  the  great  loss  of  his  busi- 
ness, which  he  estimated  will  be  $20,- 
000  more.  He  also  claims  that  he 
boarded  workmen  while  O'Mara  "was 
attempting  to  remedy  the  defect  in  the 
hot  water  system  and  paid  out  money 
on  account  of  the  work  and  in  all  he 
seeks  judgment  against  O'Mara  for  the 
sum   of   $35,103.5.';   and   costs   of  suit. 


RrSSIANS  BACKWARD  IN  DEVELOP- 
ING   TELEPHONE 


If  there  were  as  many  telephones  in 
Russia  in  proportion  to  population  as 
there  are  in  the  United  States,  the  Rus- 
sian telephone  system  would  have  ap- 
proximately 17,327,000  telephones.  Rus- 
sia actually  had,  however,  on  the  latest 
date  for  which  figures  are  available, 
only  about  112,000  telephones,  or  less 
than  three-quarters  of  one  per  cent  of 
the  number  there  would  be  if  the  Rus- 
sian telephone  system  were  as  well  de- 
veloped as  the  telephone  facilities  in 
the  United  States.  In  fact,  there  are 
more  telephones  in  the  City  of  Pitts- 
burgh than  in  the  whole  of  Russia. 


TELEPHONING  IN  JAPAN 


If  you  call  central  on  the  telephone 
in  Japan  the  operator  says  "moshi, 
moshi"  w'hen  she.  answers  you,  and 
then  asks  you  "nanban,"  which  means 
"number  please."  Suppose  you  were 
calling-  Aoyama  1243.  you  would  say 
"Aoyama  issen  ni  hyaku  go  ju  san  ban." 
At  the  close  of  a  telephone  conserva- 
tion the  Japanese  say  "sayonara" 
which   means    "goodby."

Palmer  &  McBryde  against  the  state 
for  extra  compensation  claimed  by 
them  on  a  contract  in  Del  Norte  County. 
The  road  was  built  along  the  side  of  a 
cliff,  overlooking  the  ocean.  The  con- 
tractors put  in  some  heavy  blasts  and 
caused  large  quantities  of  material  to 
slide  into  the  sea.  The  tjank  broke 
back  beyond  the  original  slopstakes 
and  the  contractors  sued  for  this  addi- 
tional material.  The  defense  was  that 
the  over-break  was  due  to  over-shoot- 
ing. 

The  contractors  sought  a  writ  of 
mandate  to  compel  the  State  Highway 
Engineer  to  amend  his  final  estimate  to 
include  this  extra  material.  The  case 
was  decided  chiefly  upon  the  ground 
that  the  proceedings  in  mandamus 
were  not  the  proper  remedy  and  that 
the.  contractors  should  have  begun  a 
straight  suit  on  their  contract. 

The  court  pointed  out  that  the  en- 
gineer is  the  agent  of  the  state  for 
the  examining  of  the  work  and  the 
estimating  of  the  amount  payable, 
which  necessarily  requires  the  exercise 
of  judgment.  The  examination  hav- 
ing been  made,  the  court  is  "without 
power  to  direct  the  engineer  to  make 
a   different  finding. 

There  was  another  point  in  the  case 
which  is  instructive  in  future  trans- 
actions. The  court  held  that  the 
check  given  in  payment  for  the  final 
estimate  was  so  worded  that,  by  its  ac- 
ceptance, the  contractors  waived  all 
further  claims.  It  is  important  that 
the  division  engineers,  and  others 
making   final    settlements    with    claim- 


ants, should  have  it  definitely  under- 
:-tood  and  clearly  stated  that  by  ac- 
cepting the  money  the  contractor 
waives  all  further  claims  and  demands 
against  the  state  under  the  contract  or 
purchase  order.  That  will  save  much 
trouble  and   ligitation. 

The  second  case  was  brought  by  the 
California  Highway  Commission 

against  a  rice  grower  in  Colusa  County 
to  enjoin  him  from  permitting  irriga- 
tion water  to  drain  upon  the  highway. 
There  is  much  alkali  in  the  adobe  soil 
beneath  the  pavement  on  portions  of 
this  road  and  when  it  becomes  wet  it 
greatly  weakens  the  foundation  of  the 
pavement.  Many  rice  growers  in  the 
neighborhood  were  using  the  drains  on 
each  side  of  the  highway  right  of  way 
as  drainage  canals  and  were  causing 
the  pavement  to  crack  and  crumble. 

The  draining  of  this  water  upon  the 
right  of  way  or  even  the  permitting  of 
it  to  seep  upon  the  road  is  directly 
prohibited  by  Section  588  of  the  Penal 
Code,  and  by  Section  5  of  "An  act  pro- 
viding for  the  care,  management  and 
protection  of  state  highways,"  found 
on  page  43  of  the  pamphlet  of  "Im- 
portant Statutes  Relating  to  the  Cali- 
fornia   Highway    Commission." 

Immediately  upon  the  injunction  be- 
ing served,  the  grower  in  question 
stopped  draining  \vater  on  to  the  road 
and  the  commission  accomplished  the 
end  desired. 

The  case  demonstrates  that  persis- 
tent act  of  damage  to  or  interference 
with  the  highways  can  thus  be  ef- 
fectively stopped  by  injunction  pro- 
ceedings. The  commencement  of  this 
suit  is  evidence  of  the  determination  of 
the  commission  to  protect  the  state 
highways  from  unlawful  damage  by 
every  rightful  means  within  its  power. 


Construction    Slack    in    Orient 

Over-Supply    of    Cement    Reported 

G.  S.  Brown,  President  of  the  Alpha 
Portland  Cement  Company,  who  recent- 
ly returned  from  a  three  months  study 
of  conditions  in  the  Far  East,  sum- 
marizes as  follows  his  observations  on 
the  construction  industry  in  Japan, 
China   and    the   Philippines: 


"The  anticipated  construction  pro- 
gram of  the.  Japanese  to  replace  the 
buildings  lost  by  earthquake  and  fire 
last  year  has  failed  to  materialize. 
Temporary  structures  sufficient  to  house 
the  people  have  been  erected  but  little 
permanent  construction  has  been  start- 
ed and  when  I  was  there  no  one  seemed 
to  have  any  knowledge  as  to  when 
active,  permanent  reconstruction  would 
be  started. 

"There  is  a  surplus  in  Japan  of  all 
sorts  of  construction  materials.  In- 
deed the  construction  industry  is  in  a 
depressed  condition  in  all  parts  of  the 
Far  East  except  in  Hong  Kong  and 
Sha-  fhai.  The  disturbed  political  con- 
ditio I  in  China  prevents  any  extensive 
work,  while  in  the  Philippines  tear 
that  the  Islands  will  be  given  inde- 
pendence by  the  United  States  has  the 
same  effect. 

"In  Hong  Kong  and  Shanghai,  how- 
ever, there  is  a  very  large  construction 
program  in  process.  It  is  said  this  is 
financed  by  w-ealthy  Chinese  from  the 
interior  of  China  who  are  fearful  that 
they  will  lose,  their  wealth  because  of 
the  present  disturbed  political  condi- 
tions and  are  therefore  putting  it  in 
Hong    Kong    and    Shanghai    where    the 


English    insure    stability      of      govern- 
ment. 

"Of  the  nations  of  the  world  outside 
of  the  United  States,  Japan  is  one  of 
the  largest  producers  of  Portland  Ce- 
ment. Not  only  Japan  but  China  and 
the  Philippines  also  prepared  for  what 
was  supposed  to  be  a  very  greatly  in- 
creased demand  for  cement  because  of 
the  reconstruction  of  the  devastated 
areas  in  Japan.  Failure  of  this  pro- 
gram to  materialize  has  resulted  In  a 
very  depressed  condition  and  a  lower 
price  for  cement  than  has  ever  been 
known  in  the  Orient.  Japanese  cement 
is  of  high  quality  as  is  also  the  Philip- 
pine product.  Cement  manufactured  in 
China  and  Indo-China  is  not  nearly  so 
good. 

"The  present  low  price,  as  nearly  as 
can  be  found  out,  is  about  equivalent 
to  the  prices  netted  by  mills  in  the 
United  States  and  I  was  told  that  many 
of  the  manufacturers  were  operating 
at  a  loss  at  these  prices. 

"I  was  very  forcibly  impressed  by 
the  fact  that  despite  this  low  price  for 
cement  and  the  highest  wages  known 
in  those  countries  yet  a  workman  in 
one  of  the  cement  factories  in  the 
Orient  who  might  wish  to  use  a  barrel 
of  cement  about  his  home — if  he  were 
fortunate  enough  to  have  one — would 
be  obliged  to  w-ork  roughly  three  days 
ill  order  to  make  sufficient  money  to 
purchase  it  while  the  average  workman 
in  the  cement  mills  of  the  United 
States  earns  enough  in  one  day  to  pur- 
chase three  barrels  of  cement."

Apprenticeship  Training  Plan  Gaining  Momentum 
—Survey  Reveals 


(S|ie<ial  (■.)rresi.«mdente  to  Daily  Pac»- 

tU-  Builder  from  National  Ass'ii  of 

Btulduii^   Trades   Employers) 

Shortage  of  skilled  labor  in  the  con- 
Btruction  industry  is  the  one  probleni 
that  is  being  given  the  greatest 
amount  of  attention  at  this  time,  and  it 
is  generally  understood  that  upon  the 
proper  solution  depends  the  very  fu- 
ture of  the  industry  itself. 

The  building  boom,  which  swept  the 
country  immediately  following  the 
termination  of  the  world  war,  clearly 
demonstrated  the  fact  that  there  was 
not  enough  man  power  in  the  United 
States  to  talte  care  of  necessary  con- 
struction, a  major  part  of  which  had 
been  held  up  during  the  period  of  the 
European  conflict. 

The  post  war  building  activity  sim- 
ply hastened  a  condition  that  was 
Ki-adually  developing,  following  the 
brealt  down  in  the  old  system  of  ap- 
prenticeship training.  In  former  year.s 
before  the  construction  industry  had 
assumed  Its  present  magnitude,  the 
training  of  apprentices  was  more  of  a 
personal  matter  and  the  contractors 
themselves  usually  worlied  with  their 
men  and  in  that  way  the  beginners 
were  taught  the  fundamental  princi- 
ples of  the  trades.  With  the  advent  of 
modern  methods  of  building  and  the 
coming  into  e.Kistence  of  large  con- 
struction companies,  operating  all  over 
the  country,  all  of  this  was  changed 
and  the  training  of  future  mechanics 
became   a  haphazard   matter. 

This  fact  is  perhaps  best  illustrated 
by  a  study  of  the  census  figures  for 
the  decade  between  1910  and  1920. 
which  show  that  although  the  popula- 
tion of  the  United  States  increased  by 
nearly  14  million,  the  actual  number 
of  mechanics  in  most  of  the  major 
building   trades   decreased. 

Following  is  a  list  of  nine  trades 
showing  number  of  men  engaged 
therein,  in  1910  and  1920  according  to 
the  U.  S.  Census: 

Brick    and    stone    masons — 1910,    169.- 
402-  1920,  131,264;  decrease  3S,138;  23.6% 
Carpenters— 1910,    817,120;    1920,    887.- 
379;   increase,   70,259;   8.6%. 

Electricians— 1910,      120,241;       1920. 
212,969;    increase,    92,723;   77.2%. 

Common  labor  —  1910,  869,478;  1920, 
623,203;  decrease,  246,273;  28.4%. 

Painters— 273,441;  1920,  248,497;  de- 
crease, 25,944;   9.5%. 

Paper  hangers  —  1910,  35,577;  1920. 
18,746;  decrease,   6,831;   26.7%. 

Plasterers— 1910,  47,6S2;  1920,  38,255; 
decrease,  9,427;   19.8%. 

Plumbers— 1920,   148,304;  1920,   206,718 
■    increase   58.414;   39.4%. 

Roofers  and  slaters  —  1910,  14,078; 
1920,  11,378;  decrease,  2,700;  19.2%. 

As  indicated  above,  one  of  the  con- 
tributing factors  to  the  shortage  of 
man  power  was  the  inability  of  the 
employers  themselves  to  devote  their 
own  time  to  the  proper  training  of  ap- 
prentices but  this  only  explains  in  part 
the  rapid  falling  off,  of  the  number  of 
men  in  the  trades.  Many  contractors 
who  might  well  have  undertaken  the 
training  of  apprentices  refused  to  as- 
sume this  responsibility,  especially 
when  the  higher  wage  rates  to  begin- 
ners   began    to    prevail. 

The  labor  organizations  themselves 
are  responsible  to  a  large  degree  for 
present  conditions,  since  it  has  be- 
come   increasingly     difficult    for    boys 


desiring  to  enter  the  trades  to  do  so. 
The  leaders  reasoned  that  if  a  shortage 
of  mechanics  existed,  higher  wage 
rates  for  those  already  in  the  trades 
would  prevail,  hence  the  number  of 
apprentices  allowed  has  been  de- 
creased. 

Prior  to  the  enactment  of  the  Per 
Centum  Limit  Act  by  Congress  in  1920, 
a  large  number  of  both  skilled  and  un- 
skilled woikers  in  the  building  trades 
entered  the  United  States  each  year 
from  Europe.  However,  when  the  Act 
became  operative  all  this  was  changed 
and  thousands  of  the  most  highly 
skilled  European  mechanics  were  de- 
nied admission  to  this  country.  Under 
this  law  for  the  fiscal  year  ending 
June  30,  1924,  27.000  building  mechan- 
ics were  admitted.  The  industry  was 
beginning  to  adjust  itself  to  the  new 
order  of  things  when  the  Johnson  Ira- 
migration  Bill  was  passed  and  signed 
by  President  Coolidge  on  May  26.  1921, 
which  still  further  reduced  the  num- 
ber of  aliens  admissable  each  year.  It 
is  estimated  that  under  this  law,  less 
than  13,000  building  mechanics  will  be 
admitted  annually,  and  when  it  is 
found  that  at  least  35.000  additional 
men  are  required  in  the  nation's  build- 
ing industry  each  year,  it  becomes  ap- 
parent at  once  that  the  only  solution 
of  the  problem  lies  in  the  proper  train- 
ing of  native  born  American  boys. 

Considerable  progress  has  been  made 
in  the  apprenticeship  training  move- 
ment during  the  past  few  years,  but  it 
the  supply  of  mechanics  is  to  equal  the 
demand  there  yet  remains  much  to  be 
done.  Many  national  associations  in  the 
industry  such  as  the  National 
Association  of  Building  Trades 
Employers,  the  Associated  General 
Contractors  of  America,  The  National 
Association  of  Master  Plumbers,  Ma- 
son Contractors  Association  of  the 
United  States  and  Canada  and  others 
have  taken  upon  themselves  the  task 
of  enlisting  the  cooperation  of  those 
who  should  be  interested  in  the  move- 
ment and  as  a  result  of  the  activities 
of  these  bodies  some  good  progress 
has  been  made. 

In  a  number  of  the  larger  cities, 
schools  for  the  teaching  of  the  building 
trades  have  been  in  operation  long 
enough  to  prove  to  the  most  skeptical 
that  it  is  feasible  to  teach  the  funda- 
mental principles  of  the  trades  in  the 
class-room.  The  most  successful  of 
these  institutions  however  insist  that 
the  boys  secure  actual  experience  in 
building  operations  at  the  same  time 
they  are  attending  the  trade  school. 

The  movement  has  gained  consider- 
able momentum  in  New  York,  where 
the  schools  are  under  the  supervision 
of  the  New  York  Building  Congress. 
Bricklaying,  carpentry,  sheet  metal 
work,  painting  and  a  number  of  the 
other  trades  are  now  being  taught. 

In  Chicago  the  Citizens  Committee 
to  enforce  the  Landis  Award  has  been 
successfully  operating  a  trade  school 
during  the  last  few  years  and  the  di- 
rector states  that  during  the  past  year 
and  a  half,  600  boys  have  been  grad- 
uated into  the  building  trades. 

In  Cleveland  the  schools  are  con- 
ducted under  the  joint  supervision  of 
the  employers'  association  and  the 
various  unions.  Classes  in  Bricklaying, 
carpentry,  plumbing  and  electrical 
work  are  now  in  operation.  Under  the 
Cleveland  plan  each  apprentice  spends 


four  hours  a  week  in  the  class-room 
and  the  balance  of  the  time  in  the  era- 
ploy  of  a  contractor  on  actual  building 
operations. 

The  training  of  apprentices  in  Bos- 
ton is  done  under  joint  committees 
which  work  in  conjunction  with  the 
board  of  education.  The  Boston  Trade 
School  classes  offer  courses  in  sheet 
raetal  work,  electrical  work,  carpentry 
and  painting.  In  addition  to  this  school 
there  is  the  Boston  Continuation 
School,  which  takes  care  of  boys  who 
leave  the  public  school  under  the  age 
of   16. 

In  Detroit  classes  for  the  training  of 
bricklayers  and  plasterers  have  been 
in  operation  for  some  little  time  and 
excellent  results  are  being  obtained. 
Both  of  these  classes  are  under  the 
supervision  of  the  contractors  employ- 
ing the  apprentices.  The  Associated 
Building  Employers  of  Michigan  has 
operated  a  bricklaying  school  in  Grand 
Itapids  for  some  time. 

Minneapolis  is  particularly  fortunate 
in  that  it  is  the  home  of  the  Dunwoodie 
Institute  where  most  of  the  building 
trades  are  being  taught.  In  addition  to 
this  there  is  a  school  for  bricklaying 
which  has  been  conducted  under  the 
direction  of  the  Building  Trades  Em- 
ployers Association  of  Minnesota  since 
1921.- 

The  Industrial  Association  of  San 
Francisco  instituted  courses  for  the 
training  of  plasterers  and  plumbers  in 
1922,  and  during  1923  added  classes  in 
bricklaying,  painting  and  tile  setting. 
The  public  school  officials  in  Los 
Angeles  have  become  interested  in  the 
work  and  courses  in  bricklaying,  plas- 
tering, plumbing  and  painting  are  be- 
ing  successfully   conducted. 

The  Chamber  of  Commerce  of  Dallas 
is  responsible  for  a  movement  which 
has  resulted  in  the  establishment  of 
the  Dallas  Vocational  School,  which 
has  an  initial  endowment  of  ?500,000.- 
Here  all  of  the  building  trades  will  be 
taught  as  well  as  many  others. 

To  list  the  other  cities  of  the  country 
would  mean  to  enumerate  practically 
every  town  of  any  importance  In  the 
United  States.  The  above  however  will 
show  that  the  apprenticeship  training 
movement  in  the  construction  industry 
has  made  a  good  start  and  splendid  re- 
sults have  already  been  accomplished. 
There  is,  hoever,  considerable  work  yet 
to  be  done  and  extreme  care  must  be 
exercised  so  that  interest  in  the  move- 
raent  will  not  be  allowed  to  lag  if  the 
industry  should  be  faced  with  a  slight 
depression  in  the  near  future  and  the 
short/age  of  mechanics  consequently 
become   less  apparent.

EAST   BAY    SEEKS    IINIFORM    BUILD- 
ING LAWS 


Stockton  Auditorium  Plumbing 

Contract  Declared  Void  By  Court 


Sustaining  the  demurrer  of  the  city 
of  Stockton  in  the  action,  the  appellate 
court  has  denied  the  application  of  the 
Stockton  Plumbing  Supply  Company 
for  a  writ  of  mandamus  to  force  Mayor 
Raymond  J.  Wheeler  to  sign  a  contract 
in  favor  of  that  company  for  plumbing 
and  heating  installation  at  the  civic 
memorial  auditorium. 

The  application  of  the  Stockton 
Plumbing  Supply  Company  for  the  writ 
was  led  after  Mayor  Wheeler  had  re- 
fused to  sign  the  contract  which  had 
previously  been  awarded  by  the  city 
council. 

After  the  council  had  awarded  the 
contract  there  was  discovered  in  tha 
new  city  charter  a  clause  to  the  effect 
that  no  city  official  or  city  employe 
could  be  connected  with  a  firm  with 
which  the  city  of  Stockton  enters  into 
a  contract.  John  Charlesworth,  a 
member  of  the  city  council,  is  also  a 
foreman  for  the  Stockton  Plumbing 
Supply   Company. 

Taking  cognizance  of  Councilman 
Charlesworth's  connection  with  both 
the  city  council  and  the  plumbing  com- 
pany to  whom  the  contract  had  been 
awarded,  Mayor  Wheeler  refused  to 
sign   the    contract. 

The  Stockton  Plumbing  Supply  Com- 
pany thereupon  filed  in  the  supreme 
court  an  application  for  a  writ  of  man- 
date to  force  Mayor  Wheeler  to  attach 
his  signature  to  the  contract.  The 
action  was  based  largely  upon  a  mutual 
understanding  by  both  parties  in  the 
action  to  test  the  workings  of  the 
clause  in  the  city  charter. 


With  Oakland  and  the  six  other 
East  Bay  cities  on  the  verge  of  per- 
haps the  greatest  era  of  building  in 
their  history,  the  need  for  harmonized 
building  laws  has  become  so  acute 
that  remedial  steps  are  under  consider- 
ation by  the  master  builders  of  Ala- 
meda county. 

This  was  the  statemeai.  of  j»  rank 
Barry,  structural  engineer  and  former- 
ly engineer  of  the  Oakland  building 
inspector's  office,  who  outlined  the  situ- 
ation in  detail  before  the  master  build- 
ers, declaring  the  need  for  uniform 
building  laws  Is  one  of  the  paramount 
problems   before   the  building   trades. 

"The  trade  is  confronted,"  said 
Barry,  "with  seven  sets  of  laws,  in 
some  respects  radically  different.  The 
difference.s  pertain  less  to  dwelling 
houses  than  to  other  types,  notably 
Class  C  buildings. 

"While  the  question  is  too  compli- 
cated to  be  settled  to  the  entire  satis- 
faction of  all  concerned,"  Barry  ex- 
plained, "it  is  possible  to  make  the 
laws  correspond  to  some  e.xtent."  He 
suggested  a  meeting  of  representatives 
of  East  Bay  cities,  at  which  prelimin- 
ary plans  could  be  laid. 

"City  limits  are  so  casually  defined," 
said  Barry,  "that  there  are  cases 
where  contractors  found  they  were  not 
building  in  the  city  called  for  in  the 
plans,  and  thus  were  in  conflict  with 
a  different  set  of  building  laws." 

Also  there  are  cases  where  buildings 
have  been  erected  on  the  boundary 
line  of  two  cities,  according  to  Barry. 
To  cope  with  the  situation,  he  said, 
amendments  have  been  tacked  onto  city 
ordinances.  But  these  seldom  give  en- 
tire  satisfaction. 


The  supreme  court  later  ordered  the 
case  tried  in  the  appellate  court. 

In  the  arguments  on  the  writ  counsel 
for  the  Stockton  Plumbing  Supply 
Company  contended  that  John  Charles- 
worth,  while  formerly  a  stockholder  in 
the  plumbing  company,  had  some  time 
before  disposed  of  his  interests  and  was 
not  then  in  any  position  to  profit  by 
the  awarding  of  the  contract. 

City  Attorney  i.  LeRoy  Johnson,  ap- 
pearing for  the  city,  contended  in  his 
demurrer  argument  that  the  contract, 
if  signed,  would  be  illegal  by  reason  of 
the    provision    in    the    city    charter. 

The  decision  of  the  appellate  court 
in  sustaining  the  demurrer  and  thus 
denying  the  application  for  the  writ 
upholds  the  point  of  view  of  the  city 
attorney  and  relieves  the  mayor  of  the 
necessity  of  signing  the  contract — thus 
leaving  it  without  standing. 

The  decision  is  regarded  in  Stockton 
as  not  affecting  the  position  of  John 
Charlesworth  as  a  member  of  the  city 
council  or  an  employe  of  the  plumbing 
supply  company,  though  Assistant  City 
Attorney  Clarence  Grant  stated  he 
could  not  definitely  interpret  the  de- 
cision until  he  had  received  a  complete 
copy  from  the  appellate  court  at  Sac- 
ramento. 

City  officials  state  they  have  not  yet 
formulated  further  pians  regarding  the 
plumbing  and  heating  contracts,  though 
it  is  believed  that  the  entire  precedure 
of  advertising-  for  bids  and  awarding 
the  contract  will  be  again  transacted. 


Concrete   vs.    Timber   for   The 

Construction    of    Dock    Facilities 


By  Frank  Wilte,  Chief  Engineer  Board    of    State    Harbor    Commissioner,    San 
F'rjincisco 


One  of  the  first  problems  to  be  solved 
in  connection  with  a  program  of  port 
development  is  as  to  the  type  of  con- 
struction to  be  used  in  port  structures. 
The  problem  which  particularly  con- 
cerns us  relates  to  the  design  of  marine 
structures,  such  as  piers,  wharves, 
ferry  slips,  bulkheads  and  other  faci- 
lities which  are  located  in  or  directly 
over    the   water. 

The  earliest  waterfront  structures 
were  built  of  untreated  timber,  but 
this  has  proven  uneconomical,  owing  to 
deterioration  on  account  of  decay  and 
the  destructive  action  of  marine  borers. 
One  of  the  earliest  methods  used  for 
the  protection  of  v^ooden  piling  from 
the  attack  of  marine  borers  was  by 
covering  with  copper  the  portion  of 
the  timber  from  below  the  mud  line 
to  high  water.  When  the  work  was 
properly  done  this  method  was  fairly 
successful,  but  the  difficulty  in  securing 
careful  workmanship  and  the  preva- 
lence of  injury  to  the  covering  caused 
the  practical  abandonment  of  this  type 
of  protection.  Many  paints  with  as- 
phalt base  have  been  advanced  by  their 
inventors  as  a  protective  covering,  but 
they  are  generally  recognized  as  being 
only  temporary  expedients.  The  most 
universally  used  and  most  dependable 
protection  for  timber  piling  consists  of 
a  pressure  treatment  of  coal  tar  creo- 
sote, which,  if  used  according  to  stand- 
ard, results  in  a  very  satisfactory  pro- 
duct; one  of  the  greatest  difficulties  be- 
ing in   securing  a  uniform  penetration 


of  the  creosote.  One  of  the  chief  ob- 
jections to  plank  surfaces  on  timber 
decks  is  the  serious  fire  hazard;  this 
danger  has  been  lessened  by  covering 
the  decks  with  a  bituminous  wearing 
surface. 

The  use  of  mass  concrete  in  marine 
structures  has  been  in  general  use  In 
Europe  for  at  least  60  years  and  in  the 
United  States  for  50  years.  The  use  of 
reinforced  concrete  is  a  more  recent 
development  and  has  been  used  in  the 
United  States  for  nearly  20  years.  Con- 
crete structure  for  commercial  ports  in 
the  protected  harbors  of  the  Pacific 
Coast  has  been  giving  satisfactory  ser- 
vice, since  there  are  no  extremes  in 
the  elements.  Plain  concrete  was  used 
in  the  construction  of  the  foundations 
of  the  Ferry  Building,  San  Francisco, 
thirty  years  ago,  and  both  waU  and 
foundations  are  in  excellent  condition 
today.  Between  1908  and  1922  concrete 
bulkhead  walls  were  constructed  along 
practically  the  entire  commercial 
waterfront  of  San  Francisco,  and  to 
this  date  no  defects  have  developed  and 
walls  are  in  good  condition.  While 
there  is  danger  of  cracking  in  concrete 
docks,  this  danger  has  been  minimized 
by  painting  above  the  water  line  with 
a  heavy  coat  of  hot  asphalt. 

Both  timber  and  concrete  construc- 
tion have  definite  points  of  superior- 
ity and  just  as  distinct  disadvantages. 
In  genera],  concrete  construction  Is 
somewhat  more  expensive,  but  the 
length  of  life  is  greater  and  the  cost 
of  maintenance  is  less.

LIMBER    DEMAND    SATISFACTORY 


Lumber  demand  holds  up  satisfac- 
torily, according  to  the  "American 
Lumberman,"  Chicago.  Southern  pine 
demand  remains  several  notches  over 
normal.  Bookings  during  the  vyeek 
ended  August  16,  exceeded  output  by 
18  per  cent  and  shipments  by  4  per 
'■ent.  Orders  have  incxeased  to  the 
1'  aviest  in  several  months,  while 
locks  are  declining,  both  in  size  and 
ia  desirability  of  assortments.  Orders 
have  been  especially  numerous  for 
yard  items;  these  are  in  particularly 
low  supply  and  firmly  held.  Shed 
working  into  a  stronger  position.  Mill 
prices  remain  firm.  However,  there 
are  reported  to  be  more  transient  cars 
afield,  as  a  result  of  recent  speculative 
activities  by  wholesalers,  and  while 
these  usually  are  rtfadily  absorbed, 
some  concessions  have  been  granted 
to   avoid  demurrage. 

Douglas  flr  market  holds  very  strong, 
with  demand  exceeding  output.  Stocks 
are  low  and  in  some  cases  scarce,  with 
prices  advancing  during  the  month. 
Coast  lumbermen  assume  an  indepen- 
dent attitude  and  will  book  only  such 
orders  as  carry  their  prices  and  suit 
their  present  stocks,  avoiding  future 
commitments.  Demand  for  Western 
pines  has  revived. 


Poor   Management   is   Declared 

The    Morgue    of    Business    Failures 


The  records  of  the  morgue  of  busi- 
ness failures  give  "poor  management" 
as  the  cause  of  a  vast  majority  of  com- 
mercial deaths,  according  to  the  Do- 
mestic Commerce  Division  of  the  De- 
l)artment  of  Commerce  in  "'Budgetary 
Control  in  Retail  Store  Management," 
the  first  of  a  series  of  pamphlets  pre- 
pared for  the  purpose  of  helping  the 
American  retailer  overcome  .some  of 
his  more  difficult   business   problems. 

Failures  have  been  attributed  to 
lack  of  sufficient  working  capital  to  a 
poor  location,  and  are  very  often  falsely 
laid  at  the  door  of  economic  changes. 
In  summarizing  these  causes,  however, 
the  Domestic  Commerce  Division  says 
that  bad  management  in  some  form 
appears  to  be  the  explanation  of  most 
of  them. 

More  thorough  understanding  of  in- 
dividual management  problems  will 
save  many  wobbling  retailers,  the  Di- 
vision asserts,  pointing  to  the  fact  that 
the  retail  store  is  conspicuous  in  the 
field  of  business  enterprise  for  the  num- 
taer    of   casualities. 

"Only  in  the  past  three  or  four  years 
has  the  merchant  realized  that  his 
business,  as  well  as  that  of  the  manu- 
facturer, is  a  science,  and  that  he,  too, 
can  well  afford  to  utilize  many  of  the 
new  methods  which  are  being  adopted 
in  business  management  in  the  entire 
field  of  industry,"  the  Division  says  in 
advocating    budgetary    control. 

Operation  of  a  business  is  much  like 
the  running  of  a  ship,  the  Division 
points  out,  in  explaining  the  need  for 
better  management.  The  Captain  has 
a  goal — the  port  to  which  he  is  bound; 
the  chart  of  the  course;  and  the  instru- 
ments, such  as  compass  and  sextant,  to 
keep  him  on  his  course.  The  captain 
of  a  business  must  take  the  same  pre- 
caution in  guiding  his  business  ship 
over  the  rough  seas  of  competition  and 
alternating  periods  of  prosperity  and 
depression.  The  established  quotas 
and  limits  are  the  ports  toward  which 
the  business  pilot  is  heading;  the  bud- 
get; the  map;  and  the  comparison  of 
actual  with  estimated  figures  corres- 
ponds  to    the    ship's    compass   and   sex- 


tant, for  by  this  the  direction  of  move- 
ment and  the  location  of  the  business 
is   determined. 

Selling  is  the  "little  idol"  in  many 
retail  organizations,  the  Division  says 
in  connection  with  the  subject  of  co- 
ordination of  the  activities  of  a  busi- 
ness. Small  consideration  is  given  to 
the  cost  of  these  sales  and  the  margin 
which  they  should  yield.  The  bringing 
together  of  the  costs  and  possibilities 
of  the  constituent  elements  of  the 
selling  process  enables  the  community 
purchasing  agent,  the  retailer,  to  ar- 
ri\'e  at  an  approximately  correct  rela- 
tion between  sales  volume  and  ex- 
pense. 

The  tremendous  losses  (caused  by 
over-purchasing)  which  were  taken 
during  the  last  period  of  depression, 
can  be  attributed  in  part,  to  the  lack 
of  intelligent  control  of  buyers  ac- 
tivities, the  Division  says  in  a  chapter 
devoted  to  Centralizing  Executive  Con- 
trol. 

Making  forecasts  and  Recording  Re- 
sults, Division  of  Budget  for  Control, 
Sales  Budget,  Merchandise  Budget, 
Operating-Expense  Budget,  Advertising 
Budget,  and  the  Advantages  and  Dis- 
advantages of  Budgetary  Control,  are 
discussed  in  succeeding  chapters  of  the 
pamphlet. 

The  publication  was  prepared  by 
Laurence  A.  Hanson,  formerly  affiliated 
with  the  Boston  Eetail  Trade  Board 
and  -later  managing  director  of  the 
Massachusetts  Retail  Merchants  Asso- 
ciation, as  a  result  of  original  research 
in  the  field  with  which  the  bulletin 
deals.  The  data  was  gathered  directly 
from  prominent  retailers  all  over  the 
country.  It  represents  the  co-ordinated 
opinions  of  the  most  progressive  retail 
agencies,  and  presents  an  approach  to

THE    GASOLINE    TAX 


The  tax  on  gasoline  has  become  so 
popular  among  state  governments  since 
Oregon  first  imposed  the  levy  in  1919 
that  thirty-five  states  now  use  this 
means  of  collecting  revenues  for  high- 
way construction  and  maintenance. 
Municipal  governments  also  have  an 
eye  on  gasoline  as  a  means  of  produc- 
ing revenue.  The  average  of  the  tax 
is  about  two  cents,  though  twelve 
states  make  their  levy  only  one  cent 
a  gallon  and  Arkansas  imposes  four 
cents  a  gallon,  which  would  seem  to  be 
somewhat  unreasonable  because  it 
amounts  to  15  or  20  per  cent  of  the  re- 
tail sales  price.  California,  with  a 
two  cent  tax,  will  derive  this  year 
about  ?8, 500, 000  from  the  owners  of 
motor  vehicles,  and  the  total  revenue 
in  all  states  will  be  more  than  $50,000,- 
000. 

The  theory  is  that  this  tax  is  to  be 
used  in  highway  maintenance  and  con- 
struction. Few  of  the  highways  in  the 
metropolitan  areas,  not  even  those  of 
modern  construction,  are  adequate  for 
the    rapidly    increasing      motor      traffic. 


Obsolete-  ideas  of  road  building  which 
prevailed  in  the  days  of  the  horse  and 
wagon  are  still  applied  to  the  construc- 
tion work  not  only  in  the  rural  dis- 
tricts but  also  in  metropolitan  areas. 
Wider  roads  are  needed  and,  in  areas 
where  traffic  is  particularly  heavy,  one- 
way lanes  should  be  provided.  It  is 
not  likely  that  motorists  "will  continue 
to  object  to  the  tax  if  bigger  and  bet- 
ter highways  are  provided,  because 
better  roads  will  mean  less  wear  and 
tear  on  automobiles.  The  gasoline  tax 
does  seem  to  provide  an  equitable 
means  of  distributing  the  cost  of  the 
highways,  and  it  does  not  seem  yet  to 
have  put  any  appreciable  check  on  the 
rapidly  increasing  number  of  automo- 
biles and  motor  trucks.

an  equal  sum  to  logs  and  logging

to  settlers  and  miscellaneous  com- 
munity property.  Incendiary  fires, 
forest  visitors,  lightning,  and  industrial 
operation  in  clearing  land  were  given 
as  the  chief  causes  of  the  forest  fires,

T'lan.s  aro  being  laid  liy  Ih.-  Alameda 
County  Home  Biiililfrs  liio.,  who  have 
Just  completed  five  homes  at  Fleming 
and  Madera  avenues  in  East  Oakland, 
for  what  they  term  an  extensive  "home 
i.inufafoturing  program." 

Their    principle    of    construction,    ac- 

idinp  to  I.  L.  Capps,  manager,  is  as 
;..llows: 

"Fine  homes,  like  fine  automobiles, 
ran  be  manufactured  in  volume.  If  the 
work  is  carefully  planned  and  sched- 
uled the  results  will  be  the  same.  Sav- 
ings will  he  effected  in  quantity  ma- 
terial purchases.  They  will  be  made 
in  labor  by  methods  of  standardization. 
they  will  be  made  in  time  as  a  result  of 
careful  scheduling.  Finally,  they  will 
be  made  on  profits  themselves,  smaller 
returns  on  many  homes  replacing 
larger  returns  on  few  homes.  It  is 
right  that  these  savings  should  bo 
passed  on  to  the  buyers  in  the  form  of 
better  homes  and  lower  prices.  Quality 
can  be  higher  as  the  result  of  the 
economies  mentioned,  which  will  per- 
mit more  lavish  equipment  of  the 
homes  and  because  of  labor  standardi- 
zation, which,  when  properly  managed, 
means  work  done  more  easily  and 
quickly." 

The  five  homes  now  being  displayed 
by  the  Alameda  County  Home  Builders 
Inc.  were  erected  on  this  plan,  as  will 
be    the   forthcoming    series    of    twenty.

TO       SKTT1.E       STATUS       OF       TRADE 
ASSOCIATIONS 


The  next  move  in  the  determination 
of  a  final  federal  policy  with  respect  to 
the  statistical  activities  of  trade  asso- 
ciation is  up  to  those  organizations 
themselves.  It  is  indicated  at  the  justice 
department.  Attorney  General  Stone, 
it  was  said,  has  in  preparation  a  series 
of  cases  which  may  finally  clear  up 
the  scope  of  the  rights  of  trade  asso- 
ciations in  collecting  and  disseminating 
statistical  data  and  these  cases  will  be 
relied  upon  to  fix  the  government's 
|t>.licy  unless  the  associations  can  sug- 
ut-st  more  typical  cases. 

Representatives  of  various  trade  as- 
sociations h/ave  conferred  with  Mr. 
Stone  and  he  accorded  them  the 
lirivilege  of  learning  what  the  justice 
ilepartment  was  doing  in  the  way  of 
working  up  cases  which  might  be  ex- 
pected to  settle  the  various  points  in- 
volved. According  to  department  of- 
iirials,  Mr.  Stone  has  received  no  fur- 
iher  word  from  the  association  ofllcials 
iind  the  assumption  at  the  department 
s  that  they  are  satisfied  with  the  line 
r  procedure  being  followed  or  they 
A  ould  have  suggested  some  alternative. 


BUILDERS'   BANQUET 


The  regular  monthly  banquet-meet- 
ing of  the  Contra  Costa  County  Build- 
ers' Exchange  was  held  in  the  ex- 
change quarters  in  Richmond,  Friday 
evening,  Sept.  12.  P.  M.  Sanford,  presi- 
dent of  the  exchange,  presided.  The 
lianquet  was  provided  by  the  lumber 
and  mill  members  of  the  organization. 
Al  P.  Hill  acted  as  chairman  and  was 
assisted  by  representatives  of  the 
Irwin  Lewis  Lumber  Company,  H.  Mil- 
radt  &  Son,  San  Pablo  Lumber  Com- 
pany, Stege  Lumber  &  Hardware  Com- 
pany and  the  Tilden  Lumber  Company. 


Steel  manufacturers,  big  distribut- 
ing interests,  and  representatives  of 
the  Associated  General  Contractors  of 
America  and  other  consumer  represen- 
tatives, meeting  in  the  Division  of 
Simplified  Practice,  Department  of 
Commerce,  adopted  as  standards  for 
steel  reinforcing  bars  eleven  sizes, 
based  on  the  area  of  the  bars.  This 
action,  effective  on  January  1  for  pro- 
ducers and  on  March  1  for  distribu- 
tors who  have  stocks  or  current  orders 
to  be  cleared  before  the  completion  of 
the  action,  will  replace  some  forty  or 
more  sizes  at  present  in  use.  The 
meeting,  which  brought  together  all 
interested  groups,  was  presided  over 
by  Edwin  W.  Ely  of  the  Division. 

Opening  the  discussion,  A.  E.  Lindau, 
who  represented  both  the  American 
Concrete  Institute  of  Detroit  and  the 
American  .System  of  Reinforcing  of 
Chicago,  outlined  the  pre-war  ex- 
perience as  to  varieties  demanded.  He 
showed  how  in  a  single  plan,  18  to  20 
sizes  of  reinforcing  bars  were  fre- 
quently called  for,  some  with  as  little 
as  l/l'eth  of  an  inch  variation.  The 
demand  was  curbed  during  the  war,  but 
had  since  backslid  to  nearly  as  great  a 
variety  as  before.  He  declared  that 
certain  state  highway  departments  had 
standard  plans  which  included  other 
than  the  suggested  standard  sizes,  and 
that  a  certain  amount  of  hesitancy 
might  be  found  before  changes  to  the 
standards  would  be  made. 

W.  A.  E.  Doying  of  the  Panama  Canal 
spoke  in  favor  of  the  proposed  stand- 
ards, as  did  O.  L.  Grover  of  the  Bureau 
of  Public  Roads,  Department  of  Agri- 
culture, and  A.  W.  Slater  of  the  Bureau 
of   Standards. 

E.  F.  Kelley,  representing  the  Ameri- 
can Association  of  State  Highway  Of- 
ficials, and  W.  O.  Irwin  of  Youngtown, 
O.,  representing  Truscon  Steel  Com- 
pany, discussed  highway  construction. 
Mr.  Irwin  disclosed  that  from  the  dis- 
tributors' standpoint,  the  present  var- 
iety is  tying  up  huge  sums  in  stocks 
and  that  the  consumer  has  to  pay  the 
interest  on  the  Investment.  Pacific 
Coast  points,  he  said,  call  for  a  greater 
variety  than  the  central  and  eastern 
parts  of  the  country. 

George  E.  Routh,  Jr.,  of  the  Kalman 
Steel  Company,  Chicago,  recommended 
that  the  area  of  bars  be  considered  for 
standardization  rather  than  the  shapes, 
a  position  which  was  indorsed  by  Rich- 
ard L.  Humphrey  of  Philadelphia,  who 
represented  both  the  Committee  on 
Standard  Specifications  for  Concrete 
and    the   American    Society    for    Testing

Xavy  Department,  C.  A.  Bissell  of  the 
Reclamation  Service,  Department  of  the 
Interior,  J.  H.  Gray,  of  the  American 
Telegraph  &  Telephone  Company,  E. 
P.  Goucher  of  the  American  Electric 
Railway  Association,  M.  W.  Lewis  of 
the  oflice  of  the  Chief  of  Engineers, 
War  Department,  D.  H.  Sawyer  of  the 
Associated  General  Contractors  of 
America,  Dr.  John  M.  Gries,  Chief  of 
the  Division  of  Building  and  Housing, 
Department  of  Commerce. 

"The  complexities  of  building  con- 
struction are  becoming  greater  daily," 
Mr.  Sawyer  told  the  meeting.  "Ten 
years  ago,  without  the  improved  means 
of  handling  materials,  we  couldn't  have 
accomplished  the  program  which  to- 
day is  being  carried  on.  The  Associated 
General  Contractors  are  for  anything 
which  will  lessen  the  cost  of  materials 
and  will  decrease  labor  and  equipment, 
as  any  such  step  will  not  only  be  of 
advantage  to  them  but  to  the  owner 
who  pays   the  bill. 

"Applying  this  specifically  to  the 
problem  of  reinforcing  bars,  the  hand- 
ling of  material,  the  segregation  of  ma- 
terial of  various  sizes  and  shapes,  the 
operation  of  machinery  to  bend  and 
deform  bars,  all  present  a  serious  bur- 
den to  city  constructors,  both  from  the 
standpoint  of  space  and  men  to  handle 
such  material.  Assuredly,  any  step 
for  simplification  will  find  our  organi- 
zation  members  supporting  it." 

Consideration  of  the  questiion  of 
grades, — a  proposition  having  come 
from  several  sources  that  one  grade 
take  the  place  of  the  existing  three 
grades, — the  statement  was  made  that 
a  committee  of  the  American  Society 
for  Testing  Materials,  and  it  was  de- 
cided to  hold  this  question  in  abeyance 
until  the  next  annual  conference  on 
revisions  of  the  simplification  adopted 
today.  Further  information  will  be 
sought  in  regard  to  this  subject  from 
the  Association  of  American  Steel  Man- 
ufacturers. 

The  areas  in  inches  of  the  standards 
adopted  were  as  follows:  .049,  .110 
.196,  .250,  .307,  .442,  .602,  .785,  1.000, 
1.266,   1.563. 

More  than  80  per  cent  of  the  annual 
tonnage  of  the  steel  mills  of  the  coun- 
try in  this  commodity  was  represented 
by    those   at   the   meeting 

Following  the  action  of  the  confer- 
ence, representatives  of  distrib»utors 
held  a  meeting  in  the  Hotel  Hamilton 
to  consider  how  they  might  best  adapt 
their  businesses  to  the  changes  re- 
sulting from  the  simplifications  adopt- 
ed. 


against  the  corporation,  seeking  to 
force  an  accounting  of  the  business 
and   secure   a  dividend. 

According  to  the  complaint,  the  of- 
ficers of  the  defendant  corporation 
have  permitted  profits  for  three  years 
to  accumulate.  Mrs.  Roberts  declares 
that,  unless  this  is  stopped,  the  govern- 
ment will  take  the  entire  profit  at  the 
end  of  four  years,  under  the  revenue 
act,  and  penalize  the  stockholders  ac- 
cording to  their  interests  in  the  en- 
forcement of  the  25  per  cent  corpora- 
tion tax.  This  will  result,  it  is  alleged, 
in  the  government  taking  all  of  the 
profits  for  four  years  in  addition  to 
exacting  a   penalty.

AND       VARNISH    IN 
HALF   OF  19S4 


The  Department  of  Commerce  an- 
nounces that,  according  to  data  collect- 
ed by  the  Bureau  of  the  Census,  there 
were  produced  during  the  .six  months' 
period  from  January  1  to  June  30,  1924, 
253,744,100  pounds  of  paste  paints 
(comprising  177,259,000  pounds  of  white 
lead  in  oil,  5.960,000  pounds  of  zinc 
oxide  in  oil,  and  70,525,100  pounds  of 
other  paste  paints);  45,122,500  gallons 
of  ready-mixed  and  semipaste  paint; 
34,718,300  gallons  of  varnish,  japans, 
and  lacquers,  other  than  pyroxylin;  and 
1.430,700  gallons  of  pyroxylin  (nitro- 
cellulose)  varnish   or   lacquers. 

The  statistics  for  the  first  half  of 
1924  as  compared  with  the  second  half 
of  1923  show  increases  of  32.1  per  cent 
for  paste  paints,  17.7  per  cent  for 
ready-mixed  and  semipaste  paints,  and 
5.7  per  cent  for  varnishes,  japans,  and 
lacquers,  other  than  pyroxylin.  The 
second  half  of  1923  as  compared  with 
the  first  half  of  that  year,  however, 
shows  decreases  of  22.3,  12.3,  and  13.3 
per  cent,  respectively,  for  these  three 
classes  of  products.  Comparison  of  the 
first  half  of  1924  with  the  first  half  of 
1923  brings  out  increases  of  2.7  per 
cent  and  3.2  per  cent,  respectively,  for 
paste  paints  and  ready-mixed  paints, 
and  a  decrease  of  8.4  per  cent  for  var- 
nishes, japan.s,  and  lacquers,  other  than 
pyroxylin.  Pyroxylin  varnishes  were 
first  reported  in  1924,  and  therefore 
there  are  no  comparative  data  for  this 
class  of  products. 

The  statistics  are  based  upon  the  re- 
ports of  519  establishments,  of  which 
154  reported  the  manufacture  of  white 
lead  in  oil;  151,  zinc  oxide  in  oil;  302, 
other  paste  paints;  415,  ready-mixed 
and  semipaste  paints;  327,  varnishes, 
japans,  and  lacquers,  other  than  py- 
roxylin; and  33  pyroxylin  varnishes  or 
lacquers. 

Data  are  included  for  43  establish- 
ments that  reported  for  the  last  half 
of  1023  but  not  for  the  first  half  of 
1924.  For  these  establishments  the  pro- 
duction for  the  first  half  of  1924  has 
been  estimated  on  the  basis  of  the 
ratio  which  their  production  for  the 
last  half  of  1923  bore  to  the  total  pro- 
duction of  all  establishments  which  re- 
ported for  both  period.-?.  These  43  es- 
tablishments produced,  during  the  last 
halt  of  1923,  only  4.1  per  cent  of  the 
total  paste  paints,  5.2  per  cent  of  the 
ready-mixed  paints,  and  6.8  per  cent  of 
the  varnishes,   japans,   and  lacquers.

The  City  of  Oakland  needs  more 
schools  and  there  is  only  one  way  to 
get  them — that  is,  through  the  bond 
issue.  The  astonishing  growth  of  the 
city  makes  it  imperative  that  we  have 
more  schools.  The  average  daily  at- 
tendance the  last  month  of  the  school 
year  just  closed  was  3,500  greater  than 
that  for  the  same  month  a  year  ago. 
The  average  monthly  increase  for  the 
year  was  approximately  3,000.  An  in- 
crease of  this  number  requires  three 
twenty-five  room  school  buildings  with 
a  capacity  of  more  than  1000  each  year. 
The  total  growth  of  the  public 
schools  during  the  last  five  years  is 
more  than  11,000  children.  What  does 
this  mean?  It  means  that  every  year 
there  is  an  increase  of  over  2,000 
pupils  in  our  schools.  To  take  care  of 
this  great  increase  the  children  have 
been  housed  in  portables.  At  present 
14,500  children  are  in  portables  or  tem- 
porary class  rooms  and  with  the  open- 
ing of  the  present  school  term,  there 
are  over  16,000  school  children  in  por- 
tables, that  means  376  portables  or 
one-fourth  of  the  total  number  of  class 
rooms  are  in  portables.  More  than 
5,000  children  in  excess  of  proper  en- 
rollment are  crowded  into  Oakland 
Public    School   class   rooms   already. 

On  July  1st  of  this  year  there  were 
351  portables  used  in  the  Oakland 
Schools.  During  the  summer,  twenly- 
livo  more  were  built  which  makes  a 
total  of  378  ready  for  use  when  schools 
opened.  To  take  care  of  the  growth 
alone  if  the  bond  issue  fails  will  require 
about  100  portables  each  year  at  an 
approximate  cost   of  $150,000. 

I'ortables  are  very  unsatisfactory  as 
class  rooms  both  from  the  standpoint 
of  the  pupils,  teachers  and  community. 
They  are  very  hard  to  heat  and  in 
cold  days  the  children  suffer  from  lack 
of  proper  temperature  and  ventilation. 
This  cuts  down  the  efficiency  of  both 
teacher  and  pupil  and  is  a  source  of 
colds  and  sickness.  In  like  manner 
they  are  poorly  ventilated,  and  in 
spring  and  summer  these  rooms  are 
very   warm  and   the  air  is   oppressive. 

The  portables  are  only  temporary 
and  of  course  have  frequent  mainten- 
ance charges.  They  are  easily  injured 
and  at  the  most  can  only  last  a  few 
years. 

The  people  of  Oakland  are  now 
faced  with  the  problem  of  whether  or 
not  they  will  house  their  children  in 
temporary  unhealthy  inadequate  port- 
able buildings  or  with  modern  sanitary 
and   fireproof   school    buildings. 

The  present  overcrowding  of  class 
rooms,  the  present  376  portables  and 
i;ie  rapid  yearly  growth  in  our  schools 
make  it  impossible  for  the  Board  of 
Kducation  to  meet  the  situation  other 
than  by  bond  issue.  It  would  not  be 
the  intention  of  the  Board  of  Educa- 
tion to  sell  full  amount  of  bond  issue, 
but  rather  to  sell  a  sufficient  amount 
each  year  to  meet  the  existing  require- 
ments and  a  yearly  increase.  At  the 
present  time,  the  Oakland  School  Dis- 
tricts are  receiving  the  maximum 
revenues  provided  for   by  law. 

To  relieve  this  overcrowding  in  these 
flass  rooms,  to  provide  for  a  five  year 
prowth,  and  to  ban-sh  p-jr'.ables  re- 
quire  class   room   space   for   30,000   chil- 


ENGI^AND      IS    POINTING      THE    WAY 

It  appears  that  the  United  States  may 
still  s,t  with  profit  at  the  feet  of  the 
mother  country.  According  to  Motor 
Land  Pacific  i  oast  magazine  of  motor- 
mi;,  iountry  roads  and  city  streets  to 
b..  laid  out  in  Creat  liritain  will  have 
a  right-of-way  of  120  feet  in  most  in- 
stances, and   100   feet  as  a   minimuin.    if 


dren  or  750  class  rooms.  Such  a  pro- 
gram will  call  for  seven  new  high 
schools  and  junior  high  schools  and 
certain  additions  to  those  we  already 
have,  and  would  require  also  eleven 
new  elementary  schools  and  26  addi- 
tions to  our  present  elementary  schools. 
The  bond  sisue  provides  for  an  addi- 
tion of  six  new  rooms  and  an  addi- 
tional site  for  the  University  High 
School.  This  includes  the  gymnasium, 
shops  and  R.  O.  T.  C.  quarters.  Santa 
Fe  School  will  receive  an  addition  of 
six  new  rooms  and  will  do  away  with 
the  temporary  quarters  now  in  use  n ' 
this  school.  This  will  take  care  of  tlv 
present  enrollment  now  in  portabl' 
and  temporary  quarters  and  provide  f": 
the  increase  and  growth  for  the  next 
five  years. 

The  last  bond  issue  in  1919  provided 
for  384  class  rooms  or  three  large  high 
schools,  four  junior  high  schools,  four 
elementary  schols  and  sixteen  addi- 
tions. This  is  more  class  rooms  than 
any  other  city  in  the  United  States  has 
obtained  for  a  like  expenditure  during 
the  same  period.  What  is  the  present 
result  of  this  bond  issue?  Today  Ihes. 
idass  rooms  are  all  occupied  and  w ' 
have  as  many  portables  in  use  as  v.  ■ 
had  at  the  beginning  of  the  forn. 
bond  campaign.  This  is  due  to  <l 
heavy  growth  of  the  children  in  il 
Oakland  Schools  in  the  last  five  yeai 
Though  our  school  buildings  have  lu  •  i 
growing,  our  population  has  bei  n 
growing  faster  and  will  continue  to  d' 
.so  unless  the  bond  issue  is  passed.  Few 
peo|)le  today  realize  that  Oakland  now 
has  a  population  of  246,000  people, 
nearly  one-half  as  many  as  the  City  of 
IMS  Angeles.  What  did  Los  Angeles  do 
for  her  schools?  On  Tuesday.  June  6, 
1924,  Los  Angeles  voted  a  bond  issue  of 
$34,640,000  for  the  public  schools  by  a 
majority  of  seventeen  to  one.  This 
issue  made  a  total  of  $32,000,000  vote'l 
by  the  people  of  Los  Angeles  In  a  thn 
year  period. 

The  above  comparison  gives  soum 
idea  of  what  other  cities  are  doing  for 
their  public  schools.  If  Los  Angeles, 
a  city  only  twice  as  large  as  Oakland, 
can  vote  $52,000,000  for  school  bonds  in 
three  years,  surely  the  people  of  Oak- 
land can  and  will  vote  for  this  $9,577.- 
000  bond  issue  to  take  care  of  their 
school  children.  There  is  only  one 
answer  to  the  question — The  Bond  Issue 
must  pass  or  a  suitable  school  building 
program  will  not  be  secured.  It  means 
that  our  children  will  have  to  go  to 
school  in  piece-meal  sessions,  that  is, 
in  one-half  day  sessions.  Many 
people  do  mt  realize  what  one-half 
day  sessions  mean  to  their  children.  It 
means  that  their  children  will  run  the 
-streels  one-half  day  in  place  of  attend- 
ing school,  and  their  instruction  will 
not.  and  cannot  be,  as  fine  and  efficient 
as  in  full  day  sessions.  Many  cities 
have  been  compelled  to  resort  to  one- 
half  day  sessions  through  failure  to 
vote  a  bond  issue  and  the  same  cities 
have  never  failed  to  pass  the  issue 
when  confronted  with  continuing  th( 
n  c<re-meal    school  day. 

This  must  never  happen  in  Oaklanc 
and  tho  only  way  in  which  to  avoid  i' 
is  by  every  one  getting  behind  th< 
bond  i!.-"ue  with  all  their  time,  encrgj 
and  spirit  to  make  it  as  success.

CONSTRUCTION  AND  MATERIAL: 

The  C.  S.  S.  H.  Stations  are  composed 
units,  as  follows: — 

The  structural  steel  frame,  i.  e.  maehine  I'iveted  steel 
trusse.s,  steel  channel  purlin.s,  and  steel  coluunis  and  girt  ,  ,■ 
assembled,  and  held  rigid  by  sway  rods,  fastened  to  il  '  1 
members  of  the  trusses. 

The  side  walls,  consisting  of  a  sheet  steel  base,  and  Califi 
Steel  Windows  above;  all  of  them  bolted  to  the  frame,  and  C 
ing  one  solid  unit.  \ 

The  roof,  constructed  of  heavy  galvani/.ed  sheets,  joined; 
standing  locked  seams,  absolutely  watertight,  and  adding;  gr 
to  the  appearance  of  the  building  by  eliminating  the  i)laii 
clTect  of  the  roof. 

ividge  roll,  gnllcrs,  leaders  and  down  spouts,  mauuractuT 
gahanized  .steel. 
CONNECTIONS: 

All  sliop  connections  of  trusses,  columns,  girts,  etc.,  an 
chine  riveted ;  all  field  connections,  including  the  sheet  .steel 
are  bolted.  The  California  Steel  windows  are  fastened  with 
P.  Sash  clips,  No.  16.  The  roof  sheets  ai'e  attached  with  galva 
clinch  nails  and  lead  washers. 

CALIFORNIA  STEEL  WINDOWS  aie  forming  the  gi 
part  of  the  walls,  eliminatinj>'  dark  coi'ners  entirely,  and  g 
more  light  than  is  usually  found  in  this  type  of  building 
glass  panes  are  securely  held  in  position  by  our  special  s 
wire  glazing  clips,  and  embedded  in  metallic  putty,  insur 
\\atertight  job. 
SLIDING  DOORS: 

The  sliding  steel  doors  are  furnished  complete,  with  Ri( 
Wilcox  ball  bearing  hangers  and  tracks,  and  with  attachme 
padlock.  The  door  consists  of  a  welded  steel  frame,  with  a 
plate  bottom  panel,  and  a  steel  window  above. 

On  account  of  the  limited  space  in  a  gas  station,  the  s 
doors  are  decidedly  preferable  to  swinging  doors,  as  they  c 
cause  any  obstructions,  whatsoever,  occupying  about  three.: 
of  space  along  the  wall,  when  open. 
COST: 

Being  manufactured  in  large  quantities,  the  price  of  th< 
S.  S.  Station  is  exceptionally  low. 
DELIVERY: 

All  parts  of  the  C.  S.  S.  S.  Stations  are  carried  in  stocl 
delivery  can  ordinarilj'  be  made  within  a  few  hours  after  i 
of  order. 
ERECTION: 

C.  S._  S.  S.  Stations  are  erected  complete  within  48  hou 
eluding  structural  steel  frame,  sheet  metal  covering,   wii 
doors,  glazing,  etc.,  at  a  minimum  cost. 
100%  SALVAGE: 

These  stations  may  be  quickly  dismantled  and  speed: 
erected  in  another  location,  in  their  original  form,  or  by  ad( 
or  omissions,  changed  into  a  larger  or  a  smaller  of  the  sta 
building  types. 

When  moved  to  another  location,  there    are    no    new 
needed,  the  C.  S.  S.  S.  Station  representing  a  100%  salv 
very  desirable  feature,  if  the  Service  Station  is  erected  on 
ground. 
FIREPROOF: 

The.O.  S.  S.  S.  Stations  consist  of  a  riveted  structura 
frame,  sheet  metal  covering  for  walls  and  roof,  and  steel 
and  steel  windows.  The  absolute  omission  of  any  inflaa 
material,  like  lumber,  is  very  essential  in  a  place  where  gf 
and  oil  are  handled.

Does    it   Pay   to 
Advertise? 

Does  it  pay  to  advertise?  Mr.  O.  C. 
Barrymore,  sales  manager  of  the 
Golden  Gate  Building  Material  Com- 
pany of  this  city  says  it  does.  In  proof, 
he  tells  one  of  the  romances  of  busi- 
ness, out  of  the  experience  of  the 
United  States  Gypsum  Company,  whose 
gypsum  plaster  he  recommends  to 
builders    of    all   types    of   building. 

Plaster  is  the  hardest  sort  of  ma- 
terial to  advertise,  because  it  cannot  be 
identified.  That  is,  all  plasters  look 
alike,  good  as  well  as  bad.  Plaster  is 
not  a  distinctive  product. 

One  of  the  problems  of  the  plaster 
manufacturers  is  to  make  a  product  of 
fine  grind.  The  finer  the  grind,  the 
more  particles  enter  solution:  the  more 
sand  it  will  carry;  the  farther  and 
easier  it  ^vi]l  spread;  the  greater  will 
be  its  cementitious  value.  Several 
years  ago  the  United  States  Gypsum 
Company  "worked  out  a  formula  for  a 
fine-ground,  far-spreading,  hard-wall, 
fire-resistive,  economical  gypsum 
plaster.  It  made,  in  short,  a  dis- 
tinctive   product. 

But  it  looked  like  any  other  plaster. 
How  to  give  it  a  distinctive  appearance 
was  the  next  problem.  Necessity  show- 
ed tile  way.  Because  of  the  finer  grind, 
this  new  plaster  had  more  bulk  than 
other  kinds.  A  bag  that  held  100 
pounds  had  to  be  a  bigger  bag.  But 
the  company  had  on  hand  $30,000 
worth  of  .iute  bags.  To  avoid  throwing 
them  away,  someone  suggested  sewing 
an  additional  strip  on  the  top  of  each 
bag.  That  was  done,  and  red  jute  was 
usi  d  for  the  strips  to  indicate  the 
greater  bullc.  Instantly,  the  plaster  so 
liacked   become   known  as   "red  top." 

That  was  distinctive  enough!  The 
ror^'ianv  began  to  feature  this  "red 
top"  as  a  "distinctive  plaster  in  a 
uistinctive  package."  It  took.  Now 
owners  who  want  a  quality-product  to 
finish  their  walls  simply  ask  for  "red 
top."  The  moral  is  brief;  Does  it  pay 
to  advertise?  Mr.  Barrymore  "will  tell 
the  world  '  it  does.  His  warehouse  here 
is  well  stocked  with  this  gypsum 
plaster  that  makes  enduring  walls 
economically.

Southern  California  Chapter,  Asso- 
ciated General  Contractors  of  America, 
went  on  record  at  its  regular  meeting 
Sept.  11  at  Paulais  in  favor  of  open 
specifications  for  street  paving  in  Los 
Angeles,  holding  that  "patented  pave- 
ments restrict  free  and  open  compe- 
tition." Considerable  discussion  pre- 
ceded the  adojition  of  a  resolution  set- 
tling forth  the  view  of  the  Chapter,  but 
the  action  was  unanimous.  Following 
is  the  resolution: 

Whereas,  The  city  council  of  the  city 
of  Los  Angeles  is  considering  the  adop- 
tion of  specifications  relative  to  street 
paving   work;    and 

Whereas,  The  question  as  to  whether 
or  not  p.atented  pavement  specifications 
should  be  included  in  the  new  specifica- 
tions;  now,  therefore,   be   it 

Resolved,  That  the  Southern  Califor- 
nia Chapter  of  the  Associated  General 
Contractors  of  America  believe  that 
jiavement  of  equal  quality  can  be  se- 
cured without  the  payment  of  royal- 
ties; and  furthermore  believe  that  the 
specifications  requiring  the  use  of 
patented  pavements  restrict  free  and 
open  competition  and  that  patented 
paving  specifications  as  such  should  be 
eliminated. 

The  paving  question  came  up  on  pre- 
sentation of  a  request  from  the  Los 
Angeles  trattic  commission  for  an  ex- 
pression of  opinion  from  members  of 
the  A.  G.  C.  A  similar  request  had 
been  sent  to  Los  Angeles  Section, 
American  Society  of  Civil  Engineers,  it 
was  stated,  the  commission  desiring  to 
have  the  views  of  both  engineers  and 
contractors.  A  revision  of  the  city 
street  specifications  is  now  pending  be- 
fore the  city  council,  the  city  engineer 
having  recommended  open  specifica- 
tions. 


ROAD   AVORK   COMMEIVDED 


One  of  the  largest  gasoline  tax 
reconstruction  jobs  contracted  by  the 
state  to  date  was  the  laying  of  thir- 
teen and  three-tenths  miles  of  pavement 
on  the  reconstruction  of  the  upper 
Sacramento-Stockton  road  in  the  vi- 
cinity of  Elk  Grove,  says  A.  E.  Loder, 
highway  engineer  of  the  California 
State  Automobile  Association,  in  the 
current  issue  of  Motor  Land,  Pacific 
Coast  magazine  of  motoring.  This 
section  of  pavement  is  one  of  the 
smoothest-riding  in  the  state,  as  proven 
by  the  vialog,  an  instrument  now  used 
by  the  state  for  measuring  and  record- 
ing the  vibration  and  total  roughness 
of  a  section  of  pavement.  The  instru- 
ment is  attached  to  a  vehicle  and 
driven  over  the  road.  The  total  via- 
bration  per  mile  was  found  to  be  only 
twelve  inches.  The  New  York  State 
Highway  Department,  says  Loder, 
which  uses  this  same  instrument  in  its 
specific?  tions  for  surface  finish,  con- 
siders a  road  satisfactorily  smooth 
with  as  much  as  one  hundred  fifty 
inches  total  vibration  per  mile  as 
recorded  by  the  vialog. 


Exports  of  iron  and  steel  from  the 
United  States  during  July  amounting  to 
138,845  long  tons  was  16  per  cent  less 
than  the  monthly  average  for  the  first 
six  months  of  1924,  while  the  imports 
amounting  to  30,140  tons  was  only  63 
per  cent  of  the  average  for  the  six 
months,  according  to  Luther  Becker, 
chief  of  the  iron  and  steel  division  of 
the   department   of   commerce, 


The  current  issue  of  the  National 
Bulletin  of  the  Association  of  Building 
Trade      Employers,      Cleveland,       Ohio, 

says: 

The  passing  of  Labor  Day  marks  the 
beginning  of  a  new  construction 
period,  and  it  is  therefore  advisable  to 
look  into  the  future  of  the  industry 
for  the  remaining  four  months  of  the 
.vear.  The  summer  months  usually 
show  a  slight  let  down  in  the  industry, 
but  the  first  of  September  invariably 
brings  a  resumption  of  activities. 
Conditions  are  more  stable  now  than 
they  have  been  any  time  this  year.  No 
marked  wage  fiuctutions  either  upward 
or  downward  are  in  sight.  The  ma- 
terial market  is  operating  on  an  even 
keel  and  there  is  every  reason  to  be- 
lieve that  there  will  not  be  much  de- 
viation from  present  prices  during  the 
balance  of  the  year.  Many  investors 
have  been  waiting  for  assurance  that 
building  costs  have  been  stabalized  and 
undoubtedly  the  next  few  weeks  will 
bring  out  a  large  number  of  projects 
which  were  held  up  during  the  early 
part  of  the  season.  Conditions  in  other 
lines  are  rapidly  improving.  The 
American  farmer  is  in  a  better  position 
today  than  for  some  time  past.  It  is 
estimated  that  the  value  of  crops  this 
year  exceeds  that  of  last  year  by 
.$700,000,000.  Four  lines  of  manufactur- 
ing, namely,  iron  and  steel,  motors, 
textile,  and  leather  are  rapidly  return- 
ing to  normal  conditions.  Money  is 
plentiful  and  interest  rates  are  low. 
Taking-  all  these  various  phases  into 
consideration  it  becomes  evident  that 
for  the  balance  of  1924,  at  least,  condi- 
tions in  the  construction  industry  will 
be  good. 


HIGHWAY       COMMISSION       AWARDS 
BRIDGE  AND  ROAD   CONTRACTTS 


The  California  Highway  Commission 
awarded  contracts  for  paving  1.7  miles 
of  the  Chico-Orland  lateral  and  for  the 
construction  of  seven  small  bridges 
and  a  weir  across  Pit  River,  near  Bei- 
ber,  Lassen  County,  on  the  Redding 
Alturas   lateral. 

The  paving  contract  was  awarded  to 
the  Chico  Contracting  Company  for 
$32,903.50  against  an  engineer's  esti- 
mate of  $37,976.  It  will  be  of  the  as- 
phalt concrete   type,   twenty  feet  wide. 

The  Beiber  bridges  will  be  construct- 
ed by  the  firm  of  Horn,  Hart  and  Sav- 
age, of  Red  Bluff,  who  bid  $50,067.54 
against  an  engineer's  estimate  of  $64,- 
331. 

Butte  County  will  recompense  the 
state  for  approximately  half  of  the 
cost  of  the  Chico  paving  and  Lassen 
County  will  repay  the  state  for  the 
Beiber  bridges  over  a  period  of  two 
years. 


1933   LIME    SALES 


The  Lime  sold  in  the  United  States  in 
1923,  as  recorded  by  the  Geological 
Survey,  Department  of  the  Interior, 
amounted  to  4,069,830  short  tons,  valued 
at  $39,934,707,  an  increase  of  12  per 
cent  in  quantity  and  20  per  cent  in 
value  over  1922.  Lime  sold  for  con- 
struction "work  increased  15.5  per  cent, 
that  sold  for  chemical  use  16  per  cent, 
and  that  sold  for  liming  land  decreased 
14  per  cent.  Hydrated  lime,  which  is 
included  in  the  total  given,  increased 
10   per   cent. 


BUILDING      AND      ENGINEERING      NEWS  Saturday,    September    27,    1924 

ALONG  THE  LINE 


THE  OBSERVER 

WHAT  HE  HEARS  AND  SEES  ON  HIS  ROUNDS 


"Conditions  in  the  construction  industry  are  now  more  stable  than  they 
have  been  at  any  time  since  the  end  of  the  war,"  says  A.  AV.  Dicl<.son,  executive 
secretary  of  the  National  Association  of  Building  Trades  Employers.  Con- 
tinuing he  says,  "There  are  no  immediate  prospects  of  wage  increase  being 
demanded'  by  men  in  the  building  trades  and  present  rates  will  undoubtedly 
prevail  for  the  balance  of  this  year.  The  apprenticeship  training  movement 
which  began  some  little  time  ago  has  spread  until  it  now  covers  the  entire 
country  and  thousands  of  boys  are  helping  to  relieve  the  labor  shortage.  Every 
craftsman  in  the  industry  is  employed,  but  no  cities  report  a  labor  shortage 
at  this  time.  It  is  unlikely  that  there  will  be  any  appreciable  slowing  up_ 
during  the  coming  winter,  since  the  building  public  in  general  has  learned 
that  under  modern  methods  of  construction,  work  can  be  conducted  during 
the  cold  months  Just  as  economically  as  it  can  during  warm  weather.  Material 
manufacturers  do  not  anticipate  any  very  serious  change  in  material  costs 
during  the  balance  of  the  year.  In  many  lines  recent  plant  expansions  have 
made  it  possible  for  the  manufacturers  to  take  care  of  the  increased  business 
in  an  expeditious  manner,  this  is  especially  true  in  the  case  of  brick  and 
cement.  The  railroads  are  in  better  position  now  than  ever  before  to  handle 
building  material  shipments  and  it  is  very  rarely  that  a  job  is  held  up  awaiting 
receipt  of  materials.  Contractors  as  a  whole  through  their  experience  of  the 
last  two  or  three  years  in  handling  an  ever  increasing  volume  of  work  have 
adopted  better  business  methods  and  are  now  able  to  successfully  meet  a 
situation  which  before  the  war  would  have  left  them  helpless." 


One  billion  minutes  have  elapsed  since  the  birth  of  Christ,  but  1.560,000,000 
barrels  of  cement  were  used  in  the  United  States  in  the  past  twenty  yours, 
according  to  a  statement  made  by  President  Affleck  of  the  Universal  Portland 
Cement  Co.  before  the  recent  convention  of  the  American  Concrete  Institute, 
an  organization  of  architects,  engineers,  contractors  and  other  builders:  The 
speaker  declared,  in  illustrating  the  enormous  amount  of  concrete  used,  that 
in  the  past  twenty  years  this  industry  might  have  supplied  material  for  a  solid 
concrete  monument  similar  to  the  Washington  monument,  which  would  have 
been  1,645  feet  square  at  the  base  and  16,529  feet  high.  Even  if  it  went  down 
to  bed  rock  for  foundation,  the  question  was  raised  whether  any  spot  on  the 
earth  could  sustain  so  heavy  a  concentrated  load.  "There  were  1,560,000,000 
barrels  of  cement  used  during  this  period,"  Mr.  Affleck  declared.  "And  as 
cement  is  used  for  making  concrete  and  as  concrete  is  permanent,  nearly  all 
this  concrete  still  continues  to  serve  a  useful  purpose.  Unlike  most  products  it 
is  used  but  not  consumed.  Similarly,  all  the  wages,  labor,  quarrying,  trans- 
portation and  financing  represented  in  concrete  construction  become  permanent 
contributions  to  the  country's  social  and  industrial  progress." 

A  somewhat  novel  idea  to  encourage  home  building  has  just  been  in- 
augurated by  the  town  of  Radville,  Sask.  The  council  has  decided  to  give  a 
residential  building  lot,  entirely  free,  to  any  prospective  builder  who  agrees  to 
build  a  house  of  a  value  not  less  than  $800  within  twelve  months  of  making- 
application.  As  soon  as  the  residence  is  completed,  the  town  will  grant  title 
to  the  lot,  the  only  cost  to  the  owner  being  the  cost  of  transfer.  The  town  has 
acquired  a  number  of  good  lots  through  non-payment  of  taxes  and  has  decided 
on  the  above  plan  rather  than  have  them  on   their  hands  any  longer. 


Construction  work  hereafter  in 
Houston,  Texas,  will  proceed  regardless 
of  whether  it  is  done  by  union  or  non- 
union men,  according  to  a  statement 
recently  issued  by  the  Board  of  Di- 
rectors of  the  Associated  General  Con- 
tractors of  America,  Houston  Chapter. 
The  report  states  that  during  the  last 
5  weeks,  work  has  been  tied  up  on  ac- 
count of  jurisdictional  disputes  be- 
tween the  trades  and  that  for  the  past 
12  months  numerous  stril^es  have  been 
called  for  the  same  reason.  Relative 
to  the  question  of  collective  bargaining, 
the  report  says,  "we  have  no  objectiion 
to  collective  bargaining  or  to  working 
a  craft  intact  upon  a  specific  job,  but 
we  do  object  to  and  will  countenance 
no  further  sympathetic  strikes  and 
affiliations  v\^hich  serve  no  purpose  ex- 
cept one  of  discord  and  controversy. 
We  expect  in  the  future  to  man  our 
jobs  as  we  see  fit,  taking  into  con- 
sideration the  economic  feature  and 
the  time  phase." 

The  United  States  Steel  Corporation 
and  other  concerns  affected  have  noti- 
fied the  federal  trade  commission  that 
they  will  conform  "insofar  as  it  is 
practicable  to  do  so"  to  the  commis- 
sion's order  directing  abandonment  of 
the  Pittsburgh-phis  system  of  estab- 
lishin;r  prices.  The  decision  was  made 
public  ijy  the  commission,  the  re- 
spondents having  determined  to  con- 
form "without  admitting  the  validity  of 
said  order  or  the  jurisdiction  of  the 
commission  to  make  the  same." 


In  the  opinion  of  .James  A.  Baird, 
President  of  the  Fuller  Company,  the 
solution  of  the  apprenticeship  training 
problem  lies  largely  with  the  archi- 
tect. Baird  suggests  that  the  Ameri- 
can Institute  of  Architects  outline  a 
practical  field  training  plan  for  ap- 
prentices to  be  called,  "the  Institute 
Plan,"  and  then  see  to  it  that  each 
set  of  specifications  leaving  an  archi- 
tect's office  contains  the  following 
clause,  "the  contractor  and  each  sub- 
contractor shall  employ  the  maximum 
number  of  apprentices  permissable 
under  the  trade  regulations,  the  said 
apprentice  to  be  trained  under  the  In- 
stitute  Plan." 


Eldon  .J.  Daly,  manager  of  the  Ket-

Alaska,  announces  company  will  ex- 
pend $150,000  in  improvements  to  what 
is  already  Imown  as  the  largest  saw- 
mill in  Alaska.  A  new  mill,  electrically 
poera'.ed,  and  a  large  dock  is  included 
in  the  improvements.  Steam  power 
equipment  will  be  installed  to  drive 
the  generators  for  the  plant 


As  proof  of  the  contention  of  the 
United  States  Department  of  Com- 
merce, that  building  construction  is 
feasible  the  year  round,  is  the  state- 
ment of  a  large  general  contracting 
company  in  New  York  that  during  the 
ten-year  period  1913-1923,  its  average 
lost  time  during  winter  on  account  of 
weather  conditions  amounted  to  only  11 
days  annually.

AriiriB  on  the  suggestion  of  Frank 
A.  t'olhourn  .commissioner  i,t  public 
health  and  safety  for  the  city  of  Oak- 
ianil,  the  DuiWers'  Exchange  of  Ala- 
medu  County  will  appoint  a  committee 
to  confer  with  representatives  of  East 
Bay  cities  on  the  proposal  to  harmon- 
ize building  ordinances,  it  is  stated  by 
H.  D.  Jones,  a  director  of  the  exchange. 

This  week  the  committee  will  meet 
with  Oakland  city  ofliciala  as  the  first 
step  in  the  movement,  which  carries 
the  general  indorsement  of  East  Bay 
builders,  according  to  Jones. 

At  later  conferences  with  officials  of 
other  East  Bay  cities  it  is  hoped  to 
lay  the  groundwork  for  a  form  of 
building  ordinance  which  will  comply 
with  local  re<|Uirements  and  at  the 
aame  time  do  away  with  the  confusion 
now  said  by  builders  to  be  caused  by 
the  wide  divergence  in  seven  sets  of  or- 
dinances. 

Under  present  conditions,  with  city 
boundary  lines  but  causualLv  defined, 
.nnd  with  frequent  and  unannounced 
changes  in  building  ordinances,  con- 
fusion and  sometimes  heav.v  financial 
loss   occjisioniilly    results,    builders   say. 


.  tiers  are  being  sent  to  architects 
....  Secretary  E.  Earl  Glass  of  Southern 
California  Chapter,  Associated  General 
Contractors,  notifying  them  that  the 
Chapter  has  adopted  and  has  decided  to 
make  effective  at  once  a  rule  requiring 
that  bids  on  all  projects  costing  more 
than  JIOO.OOO  be  opened  in  the  presence 
of  bidders.  This  rule  was  proposed  and 
adopted  a  year  ago,  but  has  been  held 
in  abeyance  pending  assurance  of  co- 
operation on  the  part  of  architects  and 
engineers.  A  score  of  the  leading  ar- 
chitects of  Los  Angeles  have  expressed 
their  willingness  to  co-operate  and  the 
Chapter  has  decided  to  make  the  rule 
effective.  Members  will  refuse  to  sub- 
mit bids  on  jobs  when  the  owners  de- 
cline to  open  bids  in  the  presence  of 
the  bidders.  The  rule  as  adopted  by 
the   Chapter   is   as    follows: 

"All  proposals  estimated  by  the 
owner's  architect  or  engineer  to  cost 
over  $100,000  shall  be  opened  and  read 
by  the  owner  or  his  agent  at  the  pre- 
arranged time  and  place  and  in  the 
presence  and  hearing  of  such  bidders 
or  their  representatives  as  care  to 
attend."  '

Strikes   Cost    Public   Millions — 

Open   Shop   Labor   is   on   Increase 


strikes  cost  the  American  public 
$550,000,000  last  year;  and  they  cost  it 
nearly  $10,000,000,000  in  the  last  ten 
years. 

This  was  the  startling  statement 
brought  out  by  the  committee  on  labor 
relations  in  its  report  to  the  National 
Association  of  Manufacturers  at  its 
recent  gathering  in  New  York. 

Not  only  is  union  labor  expensive  in 
that  way,  the  report  points  out,  but  in 
one  industry  alone — housing — the  open 
shop  method  of  construction  provided 
37  per  cent  more  new  homes  per  10,000 
of  population  in  the  last  year  than  did 
tile    closed    shop    method. 

The  committee,  of  which  S.  W.  Utley, 
vice-president  of  the  Detroit  Steel 
Products  Co.  is  president,  reported  also 
that,  while  in  1!I20  the  unions  had  as 
members  about  29  per  cent  of  the  or- 
ganized labor,  last  year  they  had  only 
20  per  cent  of  such  labor  enrolled.  This 
indicated  a  loss  of  9  per  cent  in  their 
aggregate  standing  in  two  years. 

Calling  attention  to  the  fact  that  this 
is  a  political  year,  the  committee  said: 

The  open  shop  question  is  much  more 
than  one  of  political  scope,  and  it  can- 
not, in  the  final  analysis,  be  settled  in 
the  political  arena.  It  is,  rather,  an 
economic  issue,  although  in  the  phil- 
osophy of  the  closed  shop  leaders  a 
menace  to  our  political  institutions  and 
to  law  and  order  is  clearly  presented. 

The  committe  expressed  the  opinion 
that  if  existing  laws  were  enforced  im- 
partially, if  order  were  maintained, 
there  would  be  no  need  of  considering 
the  political  expediency  of  the  princi- 
ple of  the  open  shop.  It  also  presented 
the  following  conclusions: 

Public  welfare  must  be  the  para- 
mount consideration,  and  it  is  the  duty 
of  the  American  employers  continually 
to  make  known  to  the  public  the  com- 
munity advantages  of  the  open  shop. 
They     should       likewise       continuously 


maintain  their  open  shops  as  desirable 
places  in  which  to  work  so  that  work- 
ers will  refuse  to  longer  rely  on  the 
spurious  promises  of  the  closed  shop 
agitator. 

We  must  remember  that  the  open 
shop  is  not  a  panacea.  It  prevents  cer- 
tain grave  industrial  evils;  it  permits 
and  fosters  sound  practices  and  con- 
structive co-operation  between  employer 
and  employe,  which  are  impossible  un- 
der the  closed  shop  and  which  are  ab- 
solutely essential  to  our  industrial  ef- 
ficiency and  prosperity  and  hence  our 
national  progress.  Every  practicable 
method,  moreover,  should  be  used  to 
make  clear  to  American  "workers  the 
unsoundness  of  the  closed  shop  phil- 
osophy and  the  proposals  and  argu- 
ments of  those  who  would  destroy  our 
present  economic  structure.  To  main- 
tain relations  with  employes  upon  a 
basis  of  that  confidence  and  under- 
standing which  grows  out  of  a  recogni- 
tion of  mutual  interest  has  become  one 
of  the  functions  and  tests  of  good  man- 
agement. 

The  position  and  leadership  of  Amer- 
ica as  an  industrial  nation  have  been 
established  under  predominatly  open- 
shop  conditions.  The  wages  and  stand- 
ard of  living  of  our  workers  are  the 
highest  the  world  has  ever  seen.  Every 
increase  in  closed  shop  control  of 
American  industry  imperils  our  na- 
tional economic  standards  and  su- 
premacy. 

The  members  of  this  association  can, 
in  our  opinion,  profitably  give  consid- 
eration to  the  best  methods  of  non- 
commercial and  systematic  education  of 
their  workers  as  to  the  fundamental 
facts  of  industry  and  their  proper  sig- 
nificance. 

The  need  of  this  is  apparent  not  only 
in  the  economic  practices  of  the  closed 
shop  system,  but  even  more  strikingly 
in  the  philosophy  of  the  closed  shop 
and  similar  subversive  movements,  pre- 
senting a  very  real  menace  to  our  fun- 
damental American  institutions,  the  re- 
port concludes.

But  on  account  of  technicalities  that 
are  not  easily  discovered,  if  the  con- 
tract were  awarded  to  an  exceptional- 
ly low  bidder  the  bid  bond  might  not 
be  of  any  value  whatever.  For  this 
reason,  the  use  of  bid  bonds  seems  to 
be  on  the  wane  in  many  states  and  lo- 
calities. 

It  appears  that  these  bid  bonds  are 
and  have  been  issued  by  underwriters 
without  carrying  any  oljligation  on  any 
of  them  to  bond  the  bidder  in  case  he 
is  successful.  Under  these  conditions, 
the  bid  bond  would  appear  to  be  worse 
than  useless,  and  for  that  reason  should 
be  eliminated  in  all  localities  in  which 
this  is  the  case.  This  type  of  bid  bond 
was  formerly  in  effect  in  New  York, 
but  was  dispensed  with  there  some 
years  ago. 

Some  of  the  advantages  of  submitting 
bid  bonds  with  proposals  at  highway 
lettings  are  that  no  interest  needs  to 
be  paid  on  the  amount  of  the  bid  bond, 
nor  are  contractors'  funds  tied  up  if 
exceptional  delays  are  caused  in  award- 
ing contract;  .whereas  the  use  of  certi- 
fied checks  requires  that  the  contractor 
must  decide  several  days  in  advance  on 
just  which  projocts  he  will  bid.  The 
amount  of  his  bid  on  each  of  these 
projects  also  must  be  determined  in 
order  that  he  may  secure  the  proper 
amount  and  number  of  certified  checks 
for  each  project,  and  see  that  these 
certified  checks  are  properly  delivered 
to  the  place  at  which  the  letting  is  to 
\)e  held.  This  is,  of  course,  exceedingly 
difficult,  especially  at  times  when  the 
contractor  is  bidding  on  work  several 
states   distant   from   his   home  office. 

When  certified  checks  are  required  at 
highway  lettings,  a  smaller  number  of 
bids  apparently  is  submitted  than  when 
bid  bonds  are  in  use;  but  there  still  is 
ample  competition.  It  is  true  that  when 
bid  bonds  are  permitted  in  lieu  of  certi- 
fied checks,  bids  are  submitted  by  many 
who  have  not  the  experience,  the  capi- 
tal, or  the  equipment  to  warrant  their 
liidding  on  the  large  projects  they  do 
bid  on. 

When  we  analyze  the  procedure  in 
securing  certified  checks  and  the  pro- 
cedure in  securing  bid  bonds,  we  find 
in  the  one  case  that  it  is  necessary  for 
the  contractor  to  secure  certified 
checks  from  a  banking  institution, 
and  in  the  other,  from  some  represen- 
tative of  a  bonding  company.  In  order 
to  secure,  say,  a  $50,000  guarantee, 
much  more  preparation,  explanation, 
and  backing  are  required  to  secure  cer- 
tified checks  totaling  this  amount  than 
to  secure  bid  bonds  in  this  amount 
from  some  one  of  the  many  representa- 
tives of  the  bonding  companies, 
especially  when  there  are  so  many 
bonding  company  representatives  who 
have  the  authority  to  give  out  these 
bid    bonds. 

In  a  given  community  there  probably 
are  five  or  six  banks  that  might  bf 
willing  lo  give  a  contractor  certified 
checks  totaling  $50,000.  In  this  same 
community  there  probably  are  three 
times  as  many  representatives  of  bond- 
ing companies  who  would  have  au- 
thority to  give  bid  bonds  for  much 
larger  amounts  if  they  so  desire:  so 
that  the  chances  of  an  irresponsible 
contractor's  securing  a  bid  bond  in  this 
community  in  lieu  of  a  certified  check 
are  at  least  three  to  one,  since  only 
the  judgment  of  the  representative  of 
the  bonding  company  is  involved.  And 
his  judgment  miglu  be  influenced  be- 
cause he  is  paid  a  substantial  commis- 
sion on  the  performance  bond  premium: 
whereas  in  the  case  of  the  bank,  the 
cashier    or    the    president    authorizing 


the  certified  check  secures  but  the 
regular  rate  of  interest,  which  goes  not 
to  his  personal  benefit,  but  to  the  in- 
stitution   he    represents. 

In  other  words,  the  representative  of 
the    bonding   company   is    interested    in 
making  a  bid  bond  because  he  person- 
ally  secures   a   substantial   commission 
for  doing  so   if  the   contractor   secures 
the    award,    whereas    the    banker    per-, 
sonally   secures   nothing.     Therefore   it . 
is   not  difficult   to   understand   that   the  I 
bank  Is  going  to  be  very  sure  that  the: 
ci>ntractor  is  in  proper  shape  to  handle  . 
the  work  before  giving  him  a  certified  « 
check,    while    the    bond   agent   will    en-.i 
deavor   to  write  as  many  bid  bonds  asij 
possible    at    a    letting    in    order    to    in-l| 
crease  his  chances  of  securing  for  him-  I 
self    personally    the     commissions    de- r 
rived  from  a  successful  award.  ( 

Almost  all  bid  bonds  are  written  the* 
day  of  the  letting,  when  not  as  much  j 
consideration  of  the  actual  facts  can  j 
be  given  as  when  certified  checks  are! 
arranged  for  in  a  very  deliberate  way  | 
days  in  advance  of  a  letting.  j 

It  is  common  knowledge  that  at  some  j 
of  the  highway  lettings  there  were  j 
many  bid  bonds  written  for  contractors} 
that  were  not  even  reported  to  the) 
bonding  company's  executive  offices  by  4 
agents  writing  them,  indicating  how  | 
far  these  practices  have  gone  in  the< 
promiscuous  writing  of  bid  bonds  by  i 
representatives  of  the  bonding  com-  i 
panics  who  happened  to  have  the  blank* 
forms  to  execute.  It  also  is  known  > 
that  some  contractors  have  been  given  * 
blanlc  forms  of  bid  bonds  to  fill  out  foi  « 
whatever  amount  they  saw  fit. 

The     fact     is    recognized    that    there  i 
have   been   altogether   too    many   irres-  ' 
ponsible     representatives     of     bonding 
companies    writing    bid    bonds    for    if 
responsible  contractors  and  that  the  ex. 
ecutives  of  some  of  the  better  class   of 
bonding   companies  do   not  intend   thati 
this   practice    shall    prevail.      Xeverthe-( 
less,    it    does    prevail;    and    until    it    is' 
eliminated,   certified   checks,   which   are'' 
not  given  out  without  serious  consider-', 
ation,    seem    to    be    a    better   guarant-.' 
and    indicate    that    the    contractor    « 
uses   them   has  used  due  diligence,   ;i 
that    he    is    properly    qualified    for    i 
work. 

Another  advantage  to  the  contractrir 
in   the   use   of  a  certified  check   is   that 
■    he    may    select    the    bonding    compai  ■. 
with   which   he   may   wish    to    place    ' 
lierformance    bond    when    awarded    > 
contract,   which   he     may  not   be     ii 
jjosition   to  do   before      his  bid      is  .^ 
mitted.     He  also  may  elect,  if  it  is  i' 
missible,    to    place    personal    collat. 
as  an  earnest  of  good  faith  in  perfoi. 
ing   the   contract   rather   than    a   surii;. 
company   bond,    which   may   be    less    t  .- 
pensive   to   the   ov,"ner  and   quite  as   •  f- 
fective  as   a   surety   company   perform- 
ance bond. 

In  general,  therefore,  the  opponents 
of  the  bid  bond  cite  the  wholesale  and 
p.omiscuous  distribution  of  blank' 
forms  by  surety  company  agents  which, 
as  indicated  above,  apparently  throws 
the  gates  open  to  any  one  who  tabu- 
lates  figures. 

It  is  held  that  a  great  number  of  ir- 
responsible companies  that  know  noth- 
ing of  estimating,  and  perhaps  less 
about  contractors'  managing  and 
financing,  and  that  have  no  financial 
backing,  are  able  to  submit  proposals.' 
Once  these  proposals  are  submitted,  the 
bidder  se<:ui"es  a  surety  bond,  which  he 
invariably  can.  and  the  slate  is  obliged 
in  mose  cases  to  award  him  the  con- 
tract. On  the  heels  of  this  action  fol- 
lows the  v.hole  gamut  of  dissension, 
evasion,  and  improper  performance  on 
the  part  of  irresponsible  companies  that 
bring  suspicion   on   all   contractors  and

iinswer  tu  liie  ques- 
tion— how  much  of  a  given  commodity 
can  a  city  buy — the  Domestic  Distribu- 
tion Department  of  the  Chamber  of 
Commerce  of  the  United  States  has 
Issued  a  pamphlet  giving  statistics 
which  afford  a  key  to  the  iiurchasing 
power  of  the  population  in  tiiirty-one 
distributing  centers  throughout  the 
United  Slates. 

The  publication  contains  tables  based 
on  the  1920  Census  statistics  and  sta- 
tistics gathered  by  the  Department  of 
Labor,  showing  the  character  of  the 
population  of  the  various  centers  and 
the  average  per  capita  consumption. 
By  a  simple  calculation  these  tables 
will  afford  a  method  of  estimating  the 
consuming  capacity  of  these  centers, 
not  only  for  commodities  but  for  many 
specified  articles — information  of  par- 
ticular value  to  manufacturers  and 
distributors   in   fixing  sales   quotas. 

The   centers   for  which   the   necessary 
statistics  are  given  are  Atlanta,   Balti- 
fe,    Birmingham,      Boston,      Buffalo, 
-loago,  Cincinnati,  Cleveland,  Denver,

The  pamphlet  is  regarded  by  the  Do-

'  rely  a  beginning  and  as  valuable 
.'■  what  it  does  not  sliow  as  it  is  in

Tablet  Un\eiling  Commemorates 

Patenting  of  Portland  Cement 


Remarks  made  by  Frederick 
W.  Kelley,  president  of  the 
Portland  Cement  Association  in 
presenting  to  the  British  Cement 
Maliers'  Federation  a  memorial 
tablet  commemorating  the  one 
hundredth  anniversary  of  the 
patenting  of  Portland  Cement. 
The  tablet  was  unveiled  and  per- 
manently placed  in  the  town  hall 
at  Leeds,  Kngland.  It  was  re- 
ceived on  behalf  of  the  British 
Cement  Makers'  Federation  by 
the  Lord  Mayor  of  Leeds  and  Sir 
Edwin  Airy. 


We  arc  sathered  here  today  to  pay 
tribute  to  the  memory  of  an  English- 
man of  humble  station,  because  one 
liundred  years  ago  he  secured  a  patent 
upon  Portland  cement  and  in  so  doing 
left  a  definite  footprint  on  the  sands 
of   time. 

Joseph  Aspdin  was  one  of  a  number 
of  his  countrymen  of  honored  name, 
who,  like  John  Smeaton,  discovered  the 
reason  for  the  hydraulic  properties  of 
cement,  or  like  Isaac  Johnson,  perfect- 
ed the  process  of  Portland  cement 
manufacture,  thus  giving  to  the  world 
one  of  its  most  widely  used  and  im- 
portant building  materials. 

Portland  cement  concrete  is  typical 
of  Anglo-Saxon  civilization — flexible  in 
its  early  stages;  not  consuming  its  ag- 
gregates, but  shaping  them  in  a  definite 
constructive  form  which  is  permanent- 
ly useful. 

We  who  have  been  privileged  to  join 
with  our  elder  brothers  in  this  Cen- 
tennial celebration,  stand  in  this  pres- 
ence with  reverence.  We  seem  to  sense 
the  spirit  of  the  generations  of  think- 
ers and  doers  who  developed  and  safe- 
guarded all  that  we  hold  most  dear  in 
our  civilization. 

We  are  grateful  for  the  opportunity 
to  stand  side  by  side  with  you  in  this 
centennial  of  a  triumph  of  peace.  May 
we  always  stand  side  by  side  on  all 
great  issues  affecting  the  welfare  of 
mankind. 

It  is  hard  to  visualize  the  industrial 
conditions  of  one  hundred  years  ago. 
Chemistry  was  generally  confined  to 
laboratory  e.xperiraents.  Power  was 
limited.  Industry  was  largely  in- 
dividual. Man  up  to  this  time  had 
used  materials  as  he  found  them,  pro- 
vided by  nature.  A  few  simple  melt- 
ing, burning  and  grinding  operations 
formed  the   only  exceptions. 

It  required  the  real  pioneer  spirit  for 
Aspdin  to  thoroughly  blend  dissimilar 
materials  ground  to  extreme  fineness 
and  from  them  to  produce  the  new 
Portland  cement  by  burning  and  grind- 
ing. It.  was  the  same  Anglo-Saxon 
spirit  which  has  explored  and  settled 
continents.  The  spirit  which  has  ex- 
amined and  determined  fairly  the  mu- 
tual relations  of  the  men  who  people 
these    continents. 

Progress  is  made  by  men  who  see  a 
little  beyond  their  neighbors  and  act 
upon  their  vision.  Aspdin  without 
modern  tools  or  modern  knowledge, 
did  see,  and  did  take  a  distinct  pro- 
gressive step  from  which  the  "world  has 
ever  since  benefited.  Most  great  in- 
ventions look  easy  in  the  light  of  ac- 
cumulated knowledge. 

What  would  our  present  world  be 
without  Portland  cement?  If  we  are 
wise,  we  sleep  in  concrete  fireproofed 
houses.  We  bathe  in  water  impounded 
by  concrete  dams  and  flowing  through 
concrete  pipes.  We  dress  in  clothes 
the  perfection  of  whose  weave  is  due  to 
vibrationless  concrete  factories  on 
firm  concrete  foundations. 

We  breakfast  upon  food  brought  to 
town  over  concrete  highways  and  pave- 


ments with  I'oncrele  foundations,  from 
farms  having  concrete  silos,  feeding 
floors,  water-troughs,  fence  posts  and 
buildings.  We  pass  to  our  concrete 
office  buildings  through  concrete  sub- 
ways and  over  concrete  platforms  and 
sidewalks. 

We  plan  for  the  transport  of  our 
goods  over  railroads  having  concrete 
bridges,  trestles,  retaining  walls  and 
tunnels,  to  steamships  using  concrete 
docks,  walls,  breakwaters  and  light- 
houses. We  read  our  evening  paper 
by  light  generated  in  machinery  set  on 
concrete  foundations,  the  current  pass- 
ing through  wires  supported  upon  con- 
crete poles  or  placed  in  concrete  ducts. 

Concrete  contributes  to  our  safety, 
comfort  and  convenience,  is  a  thousand 
ways.  Because  of  the  ease  with  which 
it  can  be  used  and  its  relatively  low 
cost.  It  has  permitted  the  accomplish- 
ment of  many  things  not  otherwise 
commercially    practical. 

Had  masonry  been  used  in  the  struc- 
tures which  have  been  built  of  Portland 
cement  concrete  during  the  past  cen- 
tury, the  additional  cost  would  have 
approximated  a  quarter  of  the  present 
public  debt  of  Great  Britain.  This  as- 
sumes that  it  would  have  been  possible 
to  use  other  materials  than  concrete  in 
some   of   these   structures. 

Portland  cement  has  saved  the  world 
this  large  investment  and  has  given 
to  it  comforts  w^hich  it  would  not 
otherwise  have  had.  Its  benefits  are 
multiplying  with  its  increased  produc- 
tion and  use.  It  is  estimated  that  the 
world  used  in  1923  over  50,000,000  tons 
or  260,000,000  barrels  of  Portland  ce- 
ment. 

In  the  century  since  its  invention 
constant  progress  has  been  made  in 
improving  the  quality  of  Portland  ce- 
ment and  in  perfecting  its  use.  This 
work  has  been  largely  due  to  in- 
dividual effort.  Joint  effort  growing 
out  of  a  better  understanding  of  our 
common  problems  should  result  in  even 
better  progress  during  the  next  cen- 
tury. 

All  honor  to  the  British  pioneers  and 
to  Joseph  Aspdin,  a  pioneer  in  that 
branch  of  industry  we  call  ours.  He 
has  done  more  literally  to  bind  the 
world  together  than  all  the  diplomats 
of  all  time. 

The  complete  binding  and  oneness  of 
thought,  of  spirit  and  of  high  purpose 
of  the  Portland  cement  manufacturing 
industry  in  Great  Britain  and  in  the 
United  States  is  exemplified  by  this 
tablet  which  in  the  name  of  the  Port- 
land Cement  Association  of  America  I 
present,  and  now  unveil  as  a  permanent 
evidence  of  our  esteem  and  sincere  good 
will.  I  believe  it  typifies  the  equally 
complete  sympathy  and  regard  existing 
between  our  respective  countries. 


NEW  CONCRETE  MADE  STRONGER 
THAN  ROCK 


What  is  believed  to  be  a  virtually 
indestructible  concrete  mixture  for 
Missouri  roads  has  been  found  by  the 
state  highway  department  test  labora- 
tory. 

A  cylinder  of  solid  concrete,  a  speci- 
men of  a  mixture  being  used  by  a  road 
contractor  in  Newton  county,  was  sent 
to  the  laboratory  for  a  test.  The  re- 
quirement was  that  it  was  to  stand  a 
total  pressure  of  84,000  pounds  without 
cracking  or  disintegrating. 

The  cylinder  stood  a  test  of  200,000 
pounds,  or  7500  pounds  to  the  square 
inch,  which  was  as  high  as  the  labora- 
tory apparatus  registers.  It  came  uot 
of  the  press  apparently  as  firm  as 
when  it  was  put  in.  Under  far  less 
pressure  solid  rock  usually  splits  into 
fragments. 

The  mixture  of  the  record-breaking 
cylinder  was  19 ^^  parts  Portland  ce- 
ment and  2%   parts  chat.

Entered  an  oecond-elnan  matter  at 
!<iin  Francisco  I'OMt  OIBce  under  act  of 
ConKrcas    of    March    3,    1870. 


Oakland  had  a  total  of  50,172  homes 
at  the  closing     of  the  tax     assessment 

lis  this  year,  marking  an  increase  of 
7.4  over  the  previous  year,  according 
I'l  figures  announced  by  Cit5'  Auditor 
Harry  G.  Williams. 

The  tabulation  showing  the  increase 
since  1917  reveals  the  fact  that  in  that 
year  there  were  39,473  residences  as 
compared  to  50,127  at  present.  The  in- 
crease for  the  year  just  closed  exceeds 
that  for  the  previous  year,  in  point  of 
homes  built  by  1488,  there  having  been 
2266    built    in    1923. 

Business  buildings  during  the  past 
year  increased  299  with  a  total  at  the 
close  of  the  tax  rolls  of  31S7  as  com- 
pared to  242  in  1917.  The  report  also 
shows  that  there  are  now  573  apart- 
ments, 36  hotels,  8  public  buildings,  20 
fire  houses,  79  schools,  '16  depots,  133 
churches,  12  hospitals  and  2  crema- 
tories. 

There  were  seven  new  churches  con- 
structed during  the  past  year,  a  cor- 
responding increase  to  that  of  last 
year.  The  same  report  shows  Oak- 
land's area  as  60.25  square  miles,  of 
which   10.90    is   water   and    49.35    land. 


With  work  on  the  last  of  the 
thirty-nine  projects  well  advanced, 
there  remained  a  balance  of  5128,310.46 
In  Fresno  county's  special  highway 
fund  on  September  1st,  according  to  a 
financial  statement  made  to  the  board 
of  supervisors  by  S.  L.  Hogue,  chief 
accountant. 

The  balance  is  more  than  sufticient 
to  meet  final  contract  payments  in  the 
completion  of  the  county  highway 
system  and  to  make  the  pledge  of  the 
supervisors  to  give  $50,000  toward  the 
construction  of  the  Sierra  to  the  sea 
highway,  olflcials  said. 

When  the  supervisors  eliminated  the 
special  levy  of  thirty-nine  cents  from 
tile  tax  rate  this  year,  after  being  ef- 
fective two  years,  the  last  official  step 
in  providing  the  financing  for  the  roads 
called  for  under  the  1919  bond  issue 
was  taken. 

The  special  tax  raised  during  the  two 
years  of  its  imposition  $1,220,263.21, 
which  added  to  the  $4,800,000  bond 
issue  makes  the  aggregate  cost  of  the 
county's  paved  paved  system  of  high- 
wa.vs  and  mriuntain  roads  a  little  more 
than    $6,000,000. 

On  the  first  of  August  the  trial  bal- 
ance showed  the  fund  had  $252,413.46, 
while  during  the  month  the  audited 
vouchers  ran  $79,554.56  and  the  de- 
mands   payable    aggregate    $44,548.44. 

The  unexpended  revenue  is  made  up 
of  $118,983.30  from  taxation  $8,418.07 
from  refunds  and  $909.09  from  the 
general   fund. 


Supervising  hydroelectric,  telephone, 
transportation  and  gas  resources,  the 
California  Railroad  Commission's  re- 
port for  the  year  ending  June  30,  1924, 
shows  a  remarkable  growth  of  public 
utilities  development.  In  the  fiscal 
year  1924,  the  commission  authorized 
the  sale  of  nearly  $100,000,000  more 
securities  for  such  companies  than  in 
the  previous  year;  next  year  it  is  ex- 
pected that  the  figures  for  the  fiscal 
year  1924  will  be  exceeded.  Compari- 
sons of  the  securities  authorized  by 
groups  for  1923  and  1924  are  here 
given.

A  review  of  the  Railroad  Commis- 
sion's work  since  it  started  in  1912, 
shows  that  $1,747,149,641  in  authori- 
zation have  resulted,  of  which  $1,015,- 
901,766  were  for  improvements,  $287,- 
908,065  for  refunding,  $137,136,502  for 
collateral,  $295,381,551  for  reorganiza- 
tion and  $10,821,665  for  miscellaneous 
puiposes.  The  same  approximate 
ratio  held  true  in  authorizations  for 
the  last  fiscal  year. 

O 

August  1924  bookings  of  structural 
fabricated  steel  totaled  137,400  tons,  or 
59  per  cent  of  capacity  of  154  firms  re- 
porting to  Department  of  Commerce. 
This  compares  with  167.564  tons,  or  69 
per  cent  of  capacity  of  182  firms  re- 
porting in  .Tuly  and  143.403  tons,  or  57 
per  cent  capacity  of  189  firms  reporting 
in  August,  1923.  Actual  shipments  were 
189,800  tons  in  .\ugust,  against  310,600 
tons  in  July. 


Instructions  have  been  mailed  from 
the  headquarters  of  the  state  highway 
commission  to  the  ten  division  engi- 
neers throughout  the  state  informing 
them  that  painting  of  signs  on  state 
pavements  is  illegal  and  directing 
that  all  signs,  other  than  those  placed 
for  the  direction'  of  traffic,  be  forth- 
with removed. 

The  order  is  the  result  of  complaints 
concerning  the  painting  of  the  letters 
"K  K  K"  and  "Kigy"  on  state  high- 
ways in  various  sections  of  the  state, 
particularly  in  Southern  California,  on 
the  San  Francisco  Peninsula,  and  be- 
tween   Sacramento   and   Marysville. 

The  matter  was  submitted  to  Paul 
F.  Fratess,  attorney  for  the  commis- 
sion, by  Assistant  State  Highway  Engi- 
neer T,  E.  Stanton.  Fratessa  declared 
the  unauthorized  painting  of  signs  a 
misdemeanor  under  the  state  law. 

The  instructions  to  the  division  engi- 
neers read  as  follows: 

"It  is  desired  that  all  signs  painted 
upon  the  state  highway  pavement, 
which  do  not  pertain  to  the  direction 
of  traffic,  be  promptly  removed:  also 
that  effort  be  made  to  prevent  the 
painting  of  such  signs  without  special 
permit. 

"Section  6,  Chapter  400,  Statutes  1915. 
an  act  providing  for  the  care,  manage- 
ment and  protection  of  state  highways 
and  penalties  of  violation  of  the  act. 
makes  this  a  misdemeanor  and  we 
should  take  all  possible  action  to  ap- 
prehend and  prosecute  persons  caught 
violating   this    law." 

The  order  was  signed  by  George  R. 
Winslow,  maintenance  engineer. 


A  new  kind  of  window  shade  fabric 
formed  of  material  "with  a  woven  cot- 
ton base  and  a  pyroxylin  finish  is  now 
being  used  in  hotels,  office  buildings, 
hospitals,  schools  and  other  institu- 
tions. The  application  of  this  pyroxy- 
lin coated  material  to  window  shades 
was  perfected  after  considerable  re- 
search by  chemists  of  the  E.  I.  Du 
Pont  De  Nemours  &  Co.,  Wilmington, 
Dela.,  who  investigated  thoroughly  the 
problems  of  developing  the  fabric  and 
the  use  to  which  it  would  be  put,  and 
tlie  conditions  affecting  it  when  in  use. 

The  material  was  developed  at  the 
request  of  business  men  who  wanted  a 
fabric  which  was  better  adapted  to 
actual  service  conditions  than  the  or- 
dinary shade  cloth.  They  found  that 
when  shades  became  ruined  by  rain, 
the  carelessness  of  leaving  the  window 
opened  was  condemned,  and  not  the 
fabric  from  which  the  shades  were 
made.  The  same  thing  happened 
when  shades  became  faded  by  sunlight. 
The  idea  was  to  develop  a  material 
which  when  it  became  soiled  could  be 
cleaned  and  renovated,  instead  of  being 
replaced.  The  new  fabric  when  soiled 
through  use  or  exposure  can  be  reno- 
vated by  scrubbing  with  soap  and 
water.  It  has  been  especially  con- 
structed and  treated  chemically  so  that 
it  will  not  crack  or  sag,  thus  avoiding 
two  of  the  main  reasons  for  the  re- 
placements of  ordinary  shades  at  fre- 
quent intervals. 

The  introduction  of  this  pyroxylin 
coated  material  into  window  shades,  it 
is  expected,  will  revolutionize  this  part 
of  house  furnishings,  because  it  per- 
mits a  cleaning  and  restoration  of 
shades  even  after  long  use.

WHAT  HE  HEARS  AND  SEES  ON  HIS  ROUNDS 


During  the  fiscal  year  ending  June 
;i(l  1924,  the  Transportation  Division  of 
tlie  Engineering  Department  of  the 
Railroad  Commission  directed  the  sepa- 
ration of  the  grades  of  important  high- 
ways crossing  the  tracks  of  steam  rail- 
roads or  electric  railways  in  California. 
Most  of  these  grade  separations  grew 
uut  of  investigations  conducted  by  the 
Transportation  Division  or  were  the 
result  of  applications  for  the  construc- 
tion of  new  grade  crossings.  These 
grade  separations  have  involved  heavy 
construction  expenditures  which  must 
be  pro  rated  between  the  carriers  and 
the  various  political  subdivisions  in 
accordance  with  the  importance  of 
their  several  interests.  In  every  one 
of  these  separations  a  considerable 
number  of  traffic  intersections  have 
been  eliminated,  and  a  material  con- 
tribution to  the  public  safety  has  been 
made. 


Listing  his  liabilities  at  $352,579.34 
with  assets  of  $42,200,  Otto  A.  Berger, 
president  of  the  Berger  &  Carter,  ma- 
chinery manufacturers  of  San  Fran- 
cisco, has  petitioned  the  U.  S.  District 
Court  to  be  adjudged  a  voluntary 
bankrupt.  C.  W.  Carter  of  San  Fran- 
cisco is  named  as  the  principal  credi- 
tor. Berger  owes  Carter,  the  petition 
recites.  $141,184,  due  on  promissory 
notes  on  the  capital  stock  of  Berger  & 
Carter.  To  Berger  &  Carter,  as  a  bal- 
ance on  capital  stock  and  for  moneys 
borrowed  there  is  owing  $106,249.42. 
Other  creditors  are  J.  M.  McHatton,

Fred  W.  Stone.  Porterville  plumbing 
contractor,  has  requested  the  city  of-

plumbing  ordinance  and  bring  it  up  to 
date  to  meet  the  requirements  of  mod- 
ern contractor.  Porterville  plumbing 
laws  are  so  out  of  date,  declared  Stone, 
Ihat  builders  of  the  better  class  of 
buildings  refuse  to  work  under  them 
and  are  choosing  to  meet  the  require-

A  national  conference  on  the  utiliza- 
tion of  forest  products  will  be  held 
in  Washington  Nov.  19  and  2C,  Secre- 
tary of  Agriculture  Wallace  announces. 
The  meeting  will  mark  the  most 
sweeping  effort  ever  made  in  the 
Cnited  States  to  have  the  economical 
use  of  existing  timber  supplies  take 
its  place  in  the  conservation  program 
along  with  the  prevention  of  forest 
fires  and  propagation  of  timber  crops. 


Three  of  the  largef/i.  sawmills  in 
Modoc  County  have  been  compelled  to 
suspend  operations  due  to  lack  of 
water.  The  Ballard  Mill  suspended 
operations  about  a  month  ago.  and  a 
few  days  ago  the  Davis  Creek  Lumber 
Co.  and  the  Likely  Lumber  Co.  were 
also  compelled  to  shut  down.  It  is  not 
likely  that  these  mills  ^vill  be  able  to 
resume   operations  until  Spring. 


Oakland  city  council  has  ordered 
plans  prepared  for  a  street  lighting 
system  in  the  down  town  section. 
About  260  standards  will  be  installed 
at  a  cost  of  $200,000,  the  wor'-  to  be 
financed  li.v  property  owners  where  in- 
stallations are  made. 


Robert  Sibley,  speaking  before  the 
Foreign  Trade  Club  of  San  Francisco, 
told  of  the  world  water  power  confer- 
ence in  London,  which  he  attended  as 
a  delegate  from  the  United  States.  He 
stated  that  California  was  the  leader 
of  the  world  in  hydroelectric  develop- 
ment. The  United  States  produced 
sixty  billion  kilowatt  hours  of  elec- 
tricity, while  the  rest  of  the  world 
produced  only  fifty  billion.  He  told  of 
the  industrial  conditions  in  seven 
countries  which  he  visited,  and,  in 
closing,  remarked  that  England,  while 
she  was  burdened  by  taxation  at  the 
present  time — automobiles  being  taxed 
$5  a  horse  power — was  paying  the  in- 
terest on  her  loan  and  was  laying  the 
future  tor  a  prosperity  that  would  be 
felt  in  the  next  generation. 


Governor  Richardson  has  authorized 
the  sale  of  the  $2,000,000  block  of  San 
Francisco  harbor  improvement  bonds 
to  finance  completion  of  the  terminal 
warehouse  project  at  China  Basin. 
Foundation  work  for  the  structure  has 
been  completed  at  a  cost  of  approxi- 
mately $1,000,000.  The  additional  funds 
will  provide  for  the  erection  of  the 
terminal  pier  which  will  be  850  feet 
in  length  and  the  warehouse,  842  feet 
in  length.  The  structure  will  probably 
be  six  stories  in  height  of  Class  A 
cr)nstruction. 


Charged  with  violating  a  section  of 
the  state  housing  act  specifying  the 
height  of  ceilings,  C.  C.  Howard,  re- 
ported to  be  a  San  Francisco  contrac- 
tor, was  arrested  in  Alameda  on  com- 
plaint of  Building  Inspector  Eugene 
Maillot.  According  to  the  complaint, 
Howard  is  accused  by  Mailott  of  re- 
modeling a  house  at  1400  Central  Ave., 
Alameda.  constructing  eight  foot 
ceilings  where  nine  foot  ceilings  are 
required  by  the  housing  act.

There  is  perhaps  no  subject  in  the 
building  industry  about  which  there 
has  in  the  past  been  more  misinforma- 
tion and  less  exactness  than  in  the 
matter  of  the  cost  of  brickwork.  The 
need  for  more  definite  information  re- 
garding the  cost  of  brick  as  compared 
with  other  types  of  construction  has 
been  more  keenly  felt  since  the  war 
with  the  greatly  increased  demand  for 
lirick  construction  that  has  been  ex- 
perienced throughout  the  Pacific  Coast 
region. 

One  of  the  prime  factors  that  led  to 
the  organization  last  year  of  the  Cali- 
fornia Common  Brick  Manufacturers 
Association  was  the  desire  on  the  part 
of  the  brick  industry  to  provide  a 
clearing  house  through  which  the  vary- 
ing costs  of  brickwork  in  the  dif- 
ferent parts  of  the  state  could  be 
studied  with  the  view  of  making 
available  to  the  building  industry,  ac- 
curate, helpful,  comparative  informa- 
tion regarding  this  ancient  building 
material. 

The  building  trades  and  professions 
tvill  be  vitally  interesited  in  the  results 
of  a  statew*ide  survey  of  the  cost  of 
brickwork  that  is  still  being  made  by 
this  organization.  The  progress  of  this 
investigation  has  already  disclosed 
.some  Very  significant  facts  regarding 
the  cost  of  laying  brick   in   the  wall. 

There  are  today  in  California  some- 
thing less  than  thirty  manufacturers  of 
common  brick.  The  cost  of  common 
run-of-kiln  brick  ranges  from  $14  to 
$17  and  upward  at  the  yard.  The  fig- 
ure of  $15.50  has  been  found  to  fairly 
represent  the  average  cost  througliout 
the  state  for  a  thousand  common  brick. 

The  item  of  labor  in  the  cost  of 
brickwork  is  the  one  about  which  there 
has  been  least  deflnitencss.  During  the 
readjustment  period  immediately  fol- 
lowing the  war.  the  bricklayer  was 
sometimes  facetiously  pictured  as 
donning  his  silk  shirt  at  nine  in  the 
morning,  riding  to  the  job  in  his  Cadi- 
llac and  laying  a  hundred  or  two  of 
brick  before  going  down  to  dress  foi 
dinner.  This  same  comic-paper  exag- 
geration was  similarly  applied  to  all 
skilled  labor  just  as  it  was  to  our 
swivel-chair  officers,  our  ship-yard 
workers,  our  dollar-a-year  men  and 
our  profiteers.  It  was  probably  no 
truer  of  the  bricklayer  than  any  of  the 
rest. 

Today  in  California  the  bricklayer  is 
averaging  about  $10  a  day.  He  is  lay- 
ing considerably  better  than  a  thousand 
brick  in  eight  hours.  In  San  Francisco 
the  bricklayer  receives  $11  a  day;  in 
Los  Angeles,  $10;  in  other  parts  of  the 
state,  less.  One  man  will  lay  900  brick 
a  day  on  an  8-inch  curtain  wall  where 
reinforcing  rods  are  used.  On  a  13-in. 
wall  -where  there  are  no  reinforcing 
rods  to  contend  with,  one  man  will  lay 


1500  brick  per  day.  There  figures  are 
being  duplicated  and  exceeded  every 
day  on  hundreds  of  jobs  throughout  the 
state. 

To  the  cost  of  brick  and  labor  must 
be  added  a  charge  for  mortar.  One 
.vard  of  mortar  is  required  for  1200 
l)ricks,  two  sacks  of  cement  being  re- 
quired for  every  thousand  brick.  The 
cost  of  mortar  in  laying  a  thousand 
l)rick  may  fairly  be  figured  at  $3.75. 

Reducing  the  foregoing  figures  to  a 
cost  per  thousand  basis,  we  have  brick 
at  $15.50,  labor  at  $15.49  and  mortar  at 
?3.75,  making  a  total  of  $34,75  for  a 
thousand  brick  in  the  wall — less  than 
SV'oC  apiece.  These  figures  represent 
the  higliest  cost  among  the  scores  of 
jobs  that  came  under  observation  in 
this  survey.  In  approximately  half  of 
the  cases  the  average  cost  per  brick 
in  the  wall  was  3  cents.  In  many  cases, 
even  in  Los  Angeles,  the  cost  runs  as 
low  as  2.8  cents  per  laid  brick. 

The  figures  presented  are  from  official 
sources  and  are  of  unquestioned  ac- 
curacy. No  effort  \vas  spared  to  arrive 
at  conclusions  which  would  represent 
the  true  situation.  The  figures  given 
above  are  from  Los  Angeles  and  San 
Francisco,  where  costs  are  appreciably 
higher  than  elsewhere  in  the  state. 

In  San  Francisco  figures  obtained  by 
the  survey  show  that  brickwork  there 
is  costing  $30  a  thousand  or  only  3c  a 
brick  in  the  wall.  This  amount  in- 
cludes brick,  mortar,  labor  and  scaf- 
folding. In  San  Francisco  the  cost  per 
cubic  foot  of  brickwork  is  still  more 
favorable  because  the  brick  used  is 
slightly  larger  in  size  than  that  ob- 
tainable elsewhere.  In  using  San 
Francisco  brick  the  mason  figures  six 
brick  for  each  square  foot  of  four  inch 
wall,  12  brick  for  each  square  foot  of 
eight  inch  -tvall,  18  per  square  of  13 
inch  wall  and  24  per  square  foot  of 
17  inch  -wall. 

Every  day  in  Los  Angeles  contracts 
ire  being  let  for  brickwork  at  $28  a 
thousand.  Some  contractors  report  that 
they  have  frequently  during  recent 
months  lost  important  jobs  because 
their  $28  estimates  were  underbid.  Con- 
struction at  these  prices  is  of  course 
largely  on  warehouses  and  garage 
buildings  presenting  large  unbroken 
walls   -with   fe-w   openings. 

From  the  beginning  of  time  build- 
ers have  agreed  on  the  virtues  of  brick. 
its  beauty,  its  permanence,  its  flexibil- 
ity and  its  many  indispensable  advant- 
ages in  sound  construction.  In  Cali- 
fornia it  is  coming  to  be  regarded  as 
uniquely  suited  to  the  conditions  of 
lite  and  climate.  The  public  as  well  as 
the  building  professions  are  learning 
that  brick  in  the  wall  at  three  cents 
apiece,  costs  no  more  than  some  other 
building  materials,  less  desirable  and 
less  enduring. 


CITY      MANAGERS    IN      CONVENTION 
PROPOSE   CODE   OF  ETHICS 


A  code  of  ethics  for  city  managers 
was  placed  before  the  annual  conven- 
tion of  the  International  City  Mana- 
gers' Association  in  Montreal.  Que. 
The  document,  comprising  14  planks, 
was  drawn  up  by  a  committee  consist- 


ing of  City  Managers  Carr  of  Dubuque, 
Iowa;  Brownlow  of  Kno.xville,  Ten- 
nessee; and  Koiner  of  Pasadena,  Calif. 

Among  the  planks  are  those  urging 
the  city  manager  to  "remember  you  are 
a  hired  man,"  to  deal  with  "both 
friend  and  foe  with  the  same  fairness,"

Lien    Law    Protects   Contractor 

and    Stabilizes    Building    is    Claim 


Material  dealers  do  not  agree  with 
the  contention  of  general  contractors 
that  the  mechanics'  lien  law  of  Cali- 
fornia has  operated  to  the  advantage 
of  irresponsible  contractors.  They 
point  out  that  contractors  are  pro- 
tected hy  the  law  against  unscrupulous 
and  crooked  owners  and  bogus  finance 
company,  who  they  claim,  S'^e  the 
building  industry  more  trouble  than 
irresponsible  contractors.  Views  of 
the  materialmen  are  given  '"  tjie  fol- 
lowing article,  entitled  "How  the  Lien 
Law  Protects  the  Contractor  and  Stab- 
ilizes the  Building  Industry,"  by 
Bo'bert  J.  Leebrick,  credit  manager  of 
Geo.  M.  La  Shell,  Inc.,  Long  Beach,  and 
printed    in    "Southern    California   Plas- 

^From  certain  quarters  arguments  are 
heard  advocating  the  abolishment  of 
our  present  lien  law,  as  a  means  of 
making  it  more  difficult  for  the  ir- 
responsible   contractor    to   operate. 

Unquestionably  the  irresponsible 
contractor  would  have  tougher  sledding 
than  ever  without  its  protection.  So 
would  everybody.  If  it  were  only  the 
irresponsible  contractor  with  whom  we 
were  having  trouble,  then  probably  the 
contention  would  be  warranted.  But 
those  who  are  advocating  this  radical 
change  in  our  policy  must  not  forget 
that  at  the  present  time  our  main 
source  of  trouble  is  with  the  irrespon- 
sible   owners    and    bogus    finance    com- 

''^The  lien  law  is  the  only  protection 
the  contractor  and  the  material  man 
has  against  these  crooks.  In  the  first 
place  we  find  the  unscrupulous  owner 
extremely  clever  in  his  operations.  He 
usually  gives  his  job  to  a  general  con- 
tractor who  has  an  excellent  reputation 
for  paving  his  bills.  In  most  cases  he 
is  clever  enough  to  pull  the  wool  over 
the  contractor's  eyes  and  make  him 
believe  that  the  job  is  thoroughly 
financed.  The  contractor  often  takes 
his  word  without  investigation.  As  the 
cases  come  under  our  observation  the 
general  contractor  usually  does  not 
wake  up  to  the  mess  he  is  in  until 
possibly  the  job  is  three-fourths  com- 
pleted and  he  finds  himself  with  a  big 
portion  of  his  own  capital  tied  up  m 
the  job  and  unable  to  collect  any  more 
money  from  the  owner. 

The  settlement  is  usually  a  long  ex- 
tended affair,  but  through  the  protec- 
tion of  the  lien  law  the  contractor 
usually  pulls  out  with  at  least  his  or- 
iginal investment  plus  many  sleepless 
nights.  The  contractor  is  financially 
responsible  and  can  be  held  personally 
for  the  material  he  purchased.  The 
owner  is  not  responsible,  and  the  con- 
tractor, without  the  protection  of  the 
lien  law,  would  have  a  very  serious 
situation  to  face. 

You  may  say,  "Oh.  this  fellow  is 
dreaming;  corfditions  are  not  as  bad  as 
this."  Consider  these  facts.  Just  in 
the  last  month  we  have  placed  liens 
for  two  of  our  customers,  both  re- 
sponsible men,  on  jobs  where  either  the 
owner  or  finance  company  had  gone 
bad.  In  one  case  the  lien  was  over 
?7000,  and  in  the  other  case  over  $3000. 
In  both  cases  these  men  are  financially 
responsible  for  all  labor  and  material 
Iilaced  on  the  job.  With  no  lien  law  to 
protect  them,  both  would  now  be  facing 
a  very  heavy  loss.  How  can  anyone 
who  conscientiously  faces  these  facts 
say  that  it  would  be  a  wise  policy  to 
do    away    with    this    protection? 

Some  contractors  and  sub-contrao- 
lors  put  their  whole  life's  earnings  into 
one  job.  Is  it  good  business  to  re- 
move this  legal  guarantee  for  the  re- 
turn cf  that  money? 

It  is  very  essential  therefore  for  the 
contractor  to  assure  himself  before  lie 
Signs    up    a    job    that    he    will    have    a 


clear    lien    right    in    case    the    job    g.ies 
bad. 

The  procedure  to  gain  this  informa- 
tion would  be  as  follows:  Get  in 
touch  with  the  credit  department  of 
your  material  dealer;  have  them  ob- 
tain for  you  a  title  search  on  the 
property.  This  will  establish  the  true 
ownership,  and  the  amount  of  obli- 
gations, if  any,  recorded  against  the 
property  in  the  form  of  first  and  sec 
ond  mortgages,  trust  deeds,  or  notices 
of  non-responsibility.  Any  mortgages 
or  trust  deeds  recorded  against  the 
property  before  any  material  is  de- 
livered or  labor  performed  on  the  job, 
come  ahead  of  the  lien  rights.  If  you 
find  a  job  heavily  obligated,  or  a  notice 
of  non-responsibility  posted  and  re- 
corded, it  is  up  to  you  to  be  extremely 
cautious,  and  if  necessary  protect 
yourself  by  demanding  that  the  money 
for  the  job  be  placed  in  escrow,  to  be 
paid  to  you  as  the  job  progresses. 

Occasionally  we  find  a  sub-contrac- 
tor who  has  the  idea  that  the  legal  time 
to  file  his  lien  is  figured  from  the  day 
he  completes  his  own  sub-contract. 
This  is  not  correct.  The  time  is  figured 
from  the  completion  of  the  entire 
building.  It  is  true  that  the  sub- 
contractor has  not  the  right  to  file  a 
lien  until  he  has  completed  his  own 
sub-contract,  but  any  time  thereafter 
he  may  file  up  to  the  end  of  the  legal 
period  for  filing  liens. 

The  legal  period  for  filing  liens  is 
figured  as  follows:  If  a  notice  of  com- 
pletion is  recorded  within  ten  days 
after  the  building  is  completed  and 
accepted,  then  the  sub-contractors,  ma- 
terial men  and  mechanics  have  thirty 
days  from  the  day  the  notice  of  com- 
pletion was  recorded  to  file  their  liens. 
The  general  contractor  has  sixty  days. 
However,  for  this  notice  of  completion 
to  have  any  legal  value,  it  must  be  re- 
corded absolutely  within  ten  days  after 
the  building  has  been  completed  and 
accepted. 

If  no  notice  of  completion  is  recorded, 
then  all  parties  interested  have  ninety 
days  after  the  actual  completion  to  file 
their  liens.  Completion  in  these  cases 
is  figured  from  the  last  day  that  any 
labor  was  performed  on  the  job.  Oc- 
cupation accompanied  by  cessation  of 
labor  constitutes  a  completion,  and  the 
ninety-day  period  starts  running  from 
that  date. 

If  work  ceases  on  a  Job  for  a  period 
of  thirty  days,  it  constitutes  an  aban- 
donment. If  within  ten  days  after  this 
thirty-day  period  the  owner  or  con- 
tractor files  a  notice  of  cessation  of 
labor,  then  the  sub-contractors,  ma- 
terial men  and  mechanics  have  thirty 
days  after  the  recording  of  the  notice 
to  tile  their  liens.  If  no  notice  of  ces- 
sation of  labor  is  recorded,  then  all  in- 
terested parties  have  ninety  days  after 
the  thirty-day  period  to  file  liens.  In 
other  words,  there  is  a  period  of  120 
days  from  the  actual  day  that  worl; 
stopped  on  the  Job  to  file  liens. 

It  is  a  mooted  question  whether  the 
resumption  of  work  during  this  120- 
day  period,  providing  no  notice  of  ces- 
sation of  labor  was  recorded,  renews 
the  lien  rights.  It  is  better  to  play 
safe,  and  file  a  lien,  in  case  a  job  stops 
for  over  a  period  of   thirty   days. 

Material  dealers  are  making  it 
mighty  difficult  for  the  irresponsible 
contractor  to  operate.  The  responsible 
contractor  cannot  afford  to  throw 
away  his  one  main  weapon  of  protec- 
tion in  an  effort  to  accomplish  results 
that  are  already  fast  being  accimplish- 
ed   in  another  manner. 

Without  the  protection  of  the  lien 
law  it  would  be  practically  imjiossibie 
for  the  small  contractor  to  operate.  Is 
it  the  idea  of  those  opposing  the  lien 
law     to    absolutely    slaughter    all     the 


small  contractor?  It  is  well  for  their 
to  remember  that  they  were  all  smaV. 
contractors    once    themselves. 

It  is  estimated  by  men  who  are  in  : 
position  to  know  conditions  that  the 
abolishment  of  the  lien  law  would  cur- 
tail our  building  program  at  least  one- 
third  to  one-half  its  present  volume 
Do  any  of  us  want  this  to  happen? 

The  contention  is  sometimes  mad« 
that  the  lien  law  works  a  hardshlt 
upon  the  owner  because  the  averag* 
owner  knows  nothing  about  the  law 
This  may  be  true,  but  instead  ol 
abolishing  the  lien  law,  let  us  sys- 
tematically educate  the  people  as  tc 
what  its  real  purpose  is.  If  every  ma- 
terial dealer,  lumber  company,  hard- 
ware store  and  builders  exchange  hac 
a  good  synopsis  of  the  lien  law  on  his 
counter  and  saw  to  it  that  every  pros- 
pective home  builder  got  a  copy  of  it 
every  one  would  soon  realize  that  th( 
lien  law  was  an  invaluable  proiectior 
to  everyone,  and  indispensable  to  thi 
building   industry.

BlILDIXG  MATERI.\XS  COST  LOWER 
PRICE   SURVEY  SHOWS 

Costs  ot  building:  materials  today 
arc  substantially  below  the  costs  of 
a  year  ago,  according  to  a  price  sur- 
vey carried  on  by  the  U.  S.  department 
ot  labor. 

Last  year  building  materials  as  a 
group  were  still  90  per  cent  above 
the  level  of  1913  in  price,  according  to 
the  labor  department.  At  present  they 
are  69  per  cent  about  the  1913  level, 
a  decline   of  21   per  cent  over  a  year. 

Some  classes  of  building  materials 
have  declined  further  than  others. 
Lumber  a  year  ago  was  still  106  per 
cent  above  the  level  of  1913.  Now  it 
is  73  per  cent  above  this  level,  marking 
a  decline  of  33  per  cent  in  one  year  in 
lumber  prices. 

Structural  steel  has  fallen  17  per 
cent  over  the  past  year,  being  65  per 
cent  above  1913  a  year  ago,  comiiared 
to   48  per  cent  this  year. 

Miscellaneous  materials  including 
cement,  sand,  roofing  and  other  ma- 
terials necessary  to  construction  show 
an  average  decline  of  5  per  cent,  being 
69  per  cent  above  1913  a  year  ago,  com- 
pared  to   64   per  cent  now. 

Decreasing  prices  of  building  ma- 
terials will  tend  to  decrease  the  cost  of 
construction,  it  is  believed.  This  high 
construction  cost,  the  result  of  high 
material  prices  and  high  labor  costs, 
has  been  blamed  in  part  for  the  high 
rents  which  accompanied  the  housing 
shortage   in   many   cities;

Concrete  producing  organizations, 
manufacturers  of  machinery  for  mak- 
ing concrete  bricks,  hollow  building 
tile  and  blocks,  and  associations  whose 
members  arc  engaged  in  construction 
work  Involving  the  use  ot  these  pro- 
ducts have  been  invited  by  the  Division 
of  Simplified  Practice,  Department  of 
Commerce  to  attend  a  conference  in  the 
Hotel  Sherman,  Chicago,  on  October 
16,  to  act  on  recommendations  that 
these  products   be   standardized. 

The  recommendations  have  been  pre- 
pared after  a  survey  of  the  industry 
which  indicates  that  there  is  a  con- 
siderable variety  of  concrete  blocks, 
building  tile,  and  brick  manufactured 
in  sizes  and  dimensions  which  differ 
but  slightly  and  yet  which  impose  a 
burden  on  architect  and  contractor  and 
indirectly  upon  the  user.  The  com- 
mittee which  made  the  survey,  com- 
prising H.  A.  Davis  of  New  York  City, 
of  the  American  Concrete  Institute, 
Newton  D.  Benson  of  Providence.  R.  I.. 
.1.  A.  Ferguson  of  Philadelphia.  M.  W. 
Plumb  of  Malone.  N.  T.,  and  J.  W. 
Oehmann,  assistant  inspector  of  build- 
ings of  Washington,  D.  C,  began  its 
work  some  months  ago. 

The  sizes  which  will  be  recommended 
as  standard  are  as  follows:  Concrete 
Blocks — height,  7%  inches:  length. 
15%  inches;  and  widths  of  6,  8,  10.  or 
12  inches.  Concrete  Building  Tile — 
Height,  5  inches:  length.  12  inches  and 
widths,  3?i.  8  and  12  inches.  Concrete 
Brick — Height.  214  inches  and  length  8 
inches  for  both  smooth  and  rough; 
width  for  smooth.  3%  inches;  width  for 
rough.    3?4    inches. 


STATUS  OP  W^AGE  EARNER  IS  BET- 
TER  IS   LAST   DECADE 


Figures  recently  published  by  the 
National  Industrial  Conference  Board 
show  that  the  average  working  man  is 
in  a  much  better  position  today  than 
he  was  in  1914.  In  arriving  at  this 
conclusion,  the  Board  made  a  study 
of  twenty-three  leading  manufactur- 
ing industries,  employing  700,000  men 
and  found  that  wages  on  the  average 
have  increased  127.3  per  cent  since 
July.  1914.  Among  tlie  hourly  wage  in- 
creases in  some  of  the  manufacturing 
industries  may  be  noted — 122  per  cent 
in  the  automobile  trade,  141  per  cent 
in  iron  and  steel;  158  per  cent  in  rub- 
ber. 

The  Board  finds  that  with  the  excep- 
tion of  the  building  and  mining  indus- 
tries, all  wages  are  below  the  high 
peak  of  1920.  In  commenting  on  the 
report  the  New  York  Tribune  has  the 
following   to   say: 

"The  board's  estimates  are  based  on 
a  survey  covering  industries  employing 
700,000  persons.  It  finds  that  in  these 
industries  the  drop  in  "wages  since  the 
war  peaks  has  lagged  well  behind  the 
drop  in  prices,  and  it  calculates  that 
labor  is  actually  getting  27  per  cent 
more  purchasing  power  in  return  for 
its  services  than  it  was  getting  in 
July,  1914.  That  is  certainly  more  than 
almost  any  other  considerable  group 
of  the  population  was  able  to  snaffle 
out  of  the  economic  cataclysms  of  the 
last  ten  years,  and  it  is  at  once  a  com- 
pliment to  the  effectiveness  of  Ameri- 
can labor  leadership  and  a  convincing 
argument  against  that  new  form  of 
politico-economic  experimentation  for 
which  it  was  once  hoped  that  1924 
would  offer  the  golden  opportunity." 


IXCREASED     CEMEXT     PRODUCTION 
IS  REPORTED 


The  Department  ot  Commerce,  sum- 
marizing business  conditions  through- 
out the  country,  says  that  early  re- 
ports from  basic  industries  indicate 
larger  production  in  August  than  in 
July,  with  increases  noted  in  the  out- 
put of  pig  iron,  steel  ingots,  and  Port- 
land cement,  and  the  volume  of  build- 
ing construction  and  mill  consumption 
ot  cotton.  Compared  with  August. 
1923,  building  volume  and  the  output 
of  Portland  cement  were  larger.  Un- 
filled orders  on  the  books  of  the  United 
States  Steel  Corporation  on  August  31 
called  for  greater  tonnage  than  at  the 
end  of  the  preceding  month  while  un- 
filled orders  on  the  books  of  leading 
locomotive  mlanufacturers  showed  a 
decline. 

Sales  of  merchant  pig  iron  increasd 
over  July  and  a  year  ago.  Stocks  at 
merchant  furnaces  declined  from  the 
end  of  July  but  were  larger  than  a 
year  ago.  Stocks  of  Portland  cement 
declined  from  the  end  of  the  previous 
month  but  were  larger  than  a  year 
ago,  while  stocks  of  zinc  declined  from 
July  but  were  about  twice  as  large  as 
holdings  on  August  31,  1923. 

Sales  ot  mail  order  houses  and  lead- 
ing 10-cent  chains  increased  over  the 
previous  month  and  August  of  last 
year.  Carloadings  during  August  were 
in  greater  number  than  in  the  previous 
months.  Wholesale  prices  increased 
during  August. 

Check  transactions  recorded  less 
volume  in  August  than  in  July.  In- 
terest rates  continued  to  decline  while 
stock  prices  increased.  Bond  prices 
increased  slightly.  Total  investments 
of  Federal  Reserve  Banks  increased 
but  bills  discounted  declined.  The  re- 
serve ration  at  the  end  of  August  stood 
at  82.3  per  cent  as  against  83.0  per 
cent  at  the  end  of  July. 


PUBLIC      OW'NERSHIP      IS      GAINING 
THROUGHOUT    U.    S. 


H.  C.  BottorfC,  city  manager  of  Sac- 
ramento, following  his  return  from 
Montreal,  Canada,  where  he  went  to 
attend  the  international  convention  of 
the  City  Managers'  Association,  de- 
clares that  there  is  a  big  movement 
toward  the  public  ownership  of  utili- 
ties among  municipalities  all  over  the 
United  States   and   Canada. 

At  the  convention  the  subject  of 
public  ownership  was  brought  up  in 
round  table  discussion  and  BottorfE  was 
surprised  to  learn  how  many  cities 
have  either  started  to  acquire  their 
public  utilities  or  are  preparing  to 
do  so. 

"I  heard  enough  from  the  managers 
and  their  experiences  with  publicly 
owned  utili'ties  to  convince  me  that  it 
is  a  coming  movement  and  that  it  won't 
be  very  long  until  every  cit.v  in  the 
country  will  be  won  over  to  the  idea." 
says  Bottorff. 

"While  in  Montreal  I  visited  the 
hydro-electric  plants  that  are  operated 
under  municipal  control  there.  The 
.  system  is  being  efficiently  and  econom- 
ically managed.  I  saw  nothing  that 
would  le^d  me  to  believe  that  Sacra- 
mento cannot  make  a  like  success  in 
the  production  and  distribution  of 
hydro-electric  power. 

"It  was  surprising  to  see  how  every- 
body is  interested  in  California.  Cali- 
fornia is  second  in  the  list  of  states 
having  the  most  city  manager  govern- 
ments. This  state  has  thirty-four; 
Michigan   is   first   with   thirty-six."

?^r  ten  million  feet  of  building  stone, 
as  against  the  best  previous  six- 
months  record  of  seven  million  five 
hundred  feet.  It  is  estimated  by  the 
Geological  Survey  Bureau  that  the  re- 
quirements for  the  entire  country  this 
year  will  be  about  thirty  million  feet 
of  building  stone.

A  bill  to  provide  for  another  bond 
issue  of  $10,000,000  with  which  to  pur- 
chase homes  and  farms  for  war  vet-

Efforts  are  being  made  by  the  Open

it  is  planned  to  start  additional  ones 
in   the   near  future. 


The  foreign  trade  department  of  the 
San  Francisco  Chamber  of  Commerce 
has  received  from  Lewis  E.  Haas,  the 
Chamber's  Washington  representative, 
a  message  stating  that  the  U.  a. 
Treasury  Department  had  made  a  ae- 
cision  against  the  cement  dealers  of  the 
United  States  in  the  case  known  as  tne 
-anti  dumping  case"  in  which  many 
Californians  were  interested.  An  anii 
dumping  duty  was  asked  by  the  cement 
dealers  on  the  ground  that  cement 
made  in  other  countries  was  being 
brought  to  the  United  States  and  sold 
below  the  cost  of  production  in  order 
to  get  the  trade.  The  treasury  decision 
was  based  on  the  assertion  that  no 
evidence  was  offered  that  cement  was 
being  brought  into  this  country  and 
sold  below  the  cost  of  production. 

■•Lack  of  good  will  between  employer 
and  employe  is  losing  the  industries  of 
the  country  25  cents  of  every  dollar  In 
the  pay  envelope,"  is  the  statement 
made  by  S.  F.  Fannon  of  the  Sherman 
■  Service  Inc.,  in  an  address  before  the 
convention  of  the  Ohio  State  Foundry- 
men's  Association,  which  was  recently 
held  in  Cleveland.  "A  survey  of  100 
typical  workmen  reveals  that  lU  per 
cent  are  producing  a  full  days  work^ 
Another  10  per  cent  believe  it  pays  to 
give  the  employer  as  little  service  as 
possible.  This  class  represents  a  50 
per  cent  loss.  The  remaining  80  per 
cent  are  willing  to  do  just  enough  to 
hold  the  job,  and  represent  a  2a  per 
cent  loss.  The  net  result  is  a  loss  of 
25   cents  on  every   pay-roll   dollar. 

The  gross  receipts  to  be  collected  in 
the  state  in  1924  for  highway  main- 
tenance work  from  motor  vehicle  regis- 
tration fees,  gasoline  taxes  and  gross 
receipts  from  motor  transportation 
companies,  was  estimated  at  approxi- 
mately $21,760,000  in  a  report  issued  by 
Will  H.  Marsh,  chief  of  the  state  di- 
vision of  motor  vehicles.  Marsh  esti- 
mates this  amount  will  be  collected  as 
follows-  Gasoline  taxes,  $14,000,000, 
motor  vehicle  fees,  $7,160,000:  tax  on 
gross  receipts  of  transportation  com- 
panies. 

The  Master  Plasterers'  Association  of 
Oakland  has  discovered  a  fake  school 
of  plastering  where  the  innocent  man 
or  boy  is  led  to  believe  that  for  $150 
he  can  be  taught  the  plasterer  s  craft. 
The  association  refuses  to  make  piiblic 
the  name  of  the  school  but  steps  have 
been  taken  to  see  that  the  institution 
either  closes  its  doors  or  operates  in 
accordance  with  the  best  traditions  of 
the   ancient  art   of   plastering. 

The  business  course  is  upward  with 
indications  of  continued  slow  steady 
gain  according  to  a  report  recently 
made  public  by  the  National  Associa- 
tion of  Purchasing  Agents.  Based  on 
the  survey  of  coal  consumed  for  in- 
dustrial purposes,  business  as  a  whole 
shows  an  increase  of  11  per  cent  for 
the  month  of  August,  as  compared  to 
the  month  of  July,  the  report  con-

LL-.IIBEFMEX   TO   3IF.ET 


Lumbermen  of  the  Northwest,  mem- 
bers of  the  West  Coast  Lumbermen's 
Association.  with  headquarters  in 
Seattle,  will  be  called  to  Aberdeen, 
Wash.,  for  a  stockholders'  meeting 
October  17,  according  to  announcement 
made  by  Ernest  Dolge,  president  of  the 
association.  Problems  of  standardiza- 
tion are  to  be  discussed. 

Lumber  manufacturers  and  their  su- 
perintendents and  foremen  are  being 
brought  together  by  President  Dolge  in 
group  meetings  for  the  discussion  of 
plant  problems,  which  are  producing 
good  results,  it  is  reported  by  the  as- 
sociation. It  has  been  found  that 
among  rejects  of  car  siding,  68  per  cent 
of  detects  are  due  to  the  human  ele- 
ment in  manufacture  and  only  32  per 
cent  to  natural  defects  of  the  log,  it 
was  stated.  Just  how  to  lessen  the 
occurrence  of  man-made,  defects  is  be- 
ing worked  out  in   the  group  meetings.

Conference   on   Wood   Utilization 

Called    by    Secretary    Wallace 


IS 


Secretary  Wallace  has  issued  a  call 
for  a  national  conference  on  the  utili- 
zation of  forest  products,  according  to 
an  announcement  from  the  Forest  Ser- 
vice United  States  Department  of  Agri- 
culture. 

This  meeting,  to  be  held  in  Washing- 
ton on  November  19  and  20.  will  mark 
the  most  comprehensive  attempt  ever 
made  in  the  United  States  to  have  the 
economical  use  of  existing  timber  sup- 
plies take  its  essential  place  in  the 
national  forestry  program  along  with 
the  prevention  of  forest  fires  and  the 
growing  of  timber  crops,  declare  of- 
ficials of  the  Forest  Service. 

B.v  better  ways  of  manufacture  and 
use  the  drain  on  the  country's  forests 
can  be  reduced  at  least  one-fourth. 
.Secretary  Wallace  states  in  his  letter 
to  150  representatives  of  wood-usini; 
industries,  consumers.  the  building 
crafts,  and  the  general  public  who  have 
been  asked  to  '  name  2.000  men  and 
women  to  whom  invitations  to  attend 
the  conference  should  be  sent. 

It  is  planned  to  have  the  two-day 
meeting  attended  by  representatives  of 
both  the  wood-manufacturing  and 
wood-consttming  industries  of  the 
country.  Newspapers  .periodicals,  rail- 
roads, builders,  architects,  foresters, 
forest  schools,  and  the  general  public 
will  be  represented.  Secretary  Wallace 
will  issue  his  invitations  to  the  con- 
ference as  soon  as  possible  after  re- 
ceiving the  response  to  the  letters  he 
mailed. 

In  his  letter  the  Secretary  said: 

"As  j-ou  know,  the  question  of  timber 
supply  is  becoming  more  acute  year  by 
year.     We   are   studying  it   from    three 


angles;  first,  how  to  protect  the  tim- 
ber we  have  from  fire,  insect  pests 
and  plant  diseases;  second,  how  to  en- 
courage the  growing  of  more  timber, 
both  on  national  forests  and  private 
forests:  third,  how  to  cut  down  the 
waste  in  the  manufacture  and  use  of 
wood. 

"We  believe  that  by  better  ways  of 
manufacture  and  use  the  drain  on  our 
forests  can  be  reduced  by  at  least  one- 
fourth.  This  problem  has  not  received 
the  attention  it  should  have.  We  need 
more  facts  than  we  have  as  the  basis 
for  a  workable  program.  After  con- 
sidering the  whole  matter  carefully  I 
have  decided  to  call  a  national  confer- 
ence on  wood  wastes,  to  be  held  in 
Washington,  November  19  and  20,  in 
the  hope  that  such  a  conference  may  be 
able  to  work  out  a  plan  of  point  action 
by  Federal,  State  and  industrial 
agencies.  The  responsibility  is  a  joint 
one  in  which  the  public  and  the  in- 
dustries alike  have  a  vital  interest. 

"The  thought  is  to  invite  representa- 
tives of  all  the  associations  and  in- 
dustries financially  interested  in  the 
manufacture  and  use  of  forest  products, 
as  well  as  the.  representatives  of  State 
forest  organizations,  the  trade  and 
general  press  and  public  interest  and 
educational  groups.  I  am  hoping  that 
you  and  several  others  will  come  from 
your  own  association,  and  I  am  asking 
if  you  w'ill  suggest  the  names  of  in- 
dividuals who  will  take  a  live  interest 
in  the  subject  and  to  whom  I  can  send 
personal  invitations.  I  believe  the  pur- 
pose of  the  conference  is  sufficiently 
important  to  justify  the  time  and  ex- 
pense consumed  in   attending  it."

WORKS     BOARD     AVILL      HOLD 
BIDDERS   FOR   ERRORS 


At  a  meeting  of  the  board  of  public 
works  of  LOs  Angeles  Oct.  1.  it  was 
ordered  "that  the  attention  of  bidders 
for  street  work  in  the  city  of  Los  An- 
geles be  called  to  the  fact  that  in  the 
future  the  board  of  public  works  will 
not  release  bidders  for  such  work  on 
account  of  any  errors  they  may  make 
in  their  bids  therefor."  In  explanation 
of  its  order  the  board  states  that 
errors  made  by  bidders  have  recently 
caused  delays  in  awarding  contracts  on 
several  street  and  sewer  jobs.  With 
the  great  amount  of  work  already  ac- 
cumulated, it  is  important,  th"  board 
points  out,  that  no  time  be  lost

Universal  Hoist  and  Manufacturing 
Co.,  Cedar  Falls,  Iowa,  is  distributing 
a  pamphlet  illustrating  the  Ideal  hoist, 
ojierated  by  the  New-Way  air  cooled 
1  ngine,  style  No.  2.  for  general  contrac- 
tors' use.  This  style  of  reversible  hoist 
j.-<  equipped  with  large  cable  sheave 
wheels  on  the  drum  shaft  for  operat- 
ing doui)le  cage  elevators.  Complete 
description,  illustrations  of  design  and 
construction,  and  cost  are  included  in 
iliis   pamphlet. 


The  Bureau  of  Standards  has  pub- 
lished a  mimeographed  circular  entitl- 
ed 'Inspection  of  Portland  Cement." 
The  paper  was  prepared  by  John  R. 
Dwyer  and  Roy  N.  Young  of  the  ce- 
ment section  of  the  bure^iu,  and  the  in- 
fiirmation  contained  therein  is  based 
on  the  experience  of  the  Bureau  in 
caring  for  government  purchases  of 
cement. 


During  the  early  months  of  last  year 
it  was  freely  predicted  that  any  gen- 
eral wage  increase  granted  to  the 
building  trades  would  immediately  re- 
sult in  the  slowing  down  of  the  entire 
construction  industry.  A  careful 
analysis  of  the  situation  reveals  that 
although  wages  began  to  climb  in 
.\pril,  1923,  and  continued  to  do  so  until 
.Tuly  of  this  year,  there  has  been  no 
general  depression  in  the  industry,  but 
rather  a  marked  improvement  of  con- 
ditions has  been   the  result. 

The  year  1923  witnessed  the  greatest 
building  boom  this  country  has  ever 
had  according  to  statistics  published 
last  January  by  the  F.  W.  Dodge  Cor- 
poration. The  total  value  of  building 
permits  issued  in  208  cities  during  the 
year  amounted  to  $3,167,969,220;  an  in- 
crease of  $593,190,349,  over  1922  which 
in  itself  established  a  new  high  record. 

From  present  indications  it  is  be- 
lieved that  the  astounding  record  of 
1923  will  be  shattered  this  year,  because 
figures  from  thirty-six  eastern  states 
for  the  first  eight  months  of  this  year 
show  that  permits  issued  exceed  in 
value  those  for  the  corresponding 
period  of  last  year  by  about  11  per  cent. 

While  labor  costs  have  been  on  the 
increase  since  April,  1923,  and  are  now 


approximately  20  per  cent  higher  than 
the  average  for  the  past  five  years,  ma- 
terial costs  have  become  stabalized 
and  since  Sept.,  1923,  have  only  shown 
a  range  that  has  been  within  the  com- 
pass of  5  per  cent.  Material  costs  are 
now  about  10  per  cent  under  the 
average  for  the  past  five  years.  This 
is  no  doubt  one  of  the  determining  fac- 
tors in  the  building  boom  that  Is 
sweeping  the  country. 

Another  important  consideration  to 
be  borne  in  mind  when  arriving  at  the 
reasons  tor  the  activity  of  the  con- 
struction industry  is  the  fact  that  high 
wages  have  resulted  in  increasing  pur- 
chasing power.  Reports  show  that 
nearly  50  per  cent  of  the  building  done 
during  the  past  two  years  has  been 
residential,  a  situation  that  is  only 
made  possible  through  the  prosperity 
of  the   wage   earners. 

The  upward  trend  of  wages  has 
stopped  and  present  rates  will  no  doubt 
prevail  until  the  early  part  of  next 
year.  Whether  there  will  be  a  ten- 
dency on  the  part  of  the  trades  to  seek 
additional  raises  during  1925  or 
whether  the  leaders  will  content  them- 
selves with  holding  them  at  the  pres- 
ent level  is  difficult  to  determine  at 
this  time.

Announcement  is  made  of  the  merger 
between  the  Enterprise  Engine  Com- 
pany of  San  Francisco  and  the  Western 
Machinery  Company  of  Los  Angeles. 

This  merger  brings  together  two  of 
the  largest  builders  of  internal-com- 
bustion engines  on  the  Pacific  Coast 
and  creates  the  largest  organization  of 
its  kind  in  the  West.  Both  principals 
of  this  merger  are  well  known  through- 
out power  and  engineering  c'vcles  both 
of  this  and  foreign  countries. 

The  Western  Machinery  Company  is 
the  older  in  point  of  years  of  the  two 
companies,  having  started  in  the  manu- 
facture of  internal-combustion  gas  and 
gasoline  engines  approximately  a 
quarter  of  a  century  ago  as  the  West- 
ern Gas  Engine  Corporation  at  the  site 
of  its  present  plant  number  one  in  Los 
Angeles. 

The  Enterprise  Company  had  its  in- 
ception in  the  early  part  of  1916  in 
San  Francisco.  Like  the  Western  Ma- 
chinery Company,  the  Enterprise  En- 
gine (Company's  original  plant  was  a 
gasoline  or  distillate  engine  of  modern 
type. 

Natural  progress  in  the  development 
of  their  various  types  of  engines, 
coupled  with  the  changing  conditions 
in  the  fuel  oil  markets,  resulted  in  the 
course  of  time  in  the  production  by 
both  companies  of  engines  of  the  Diesel 
type. 

The  officials  of  the  two  companies 
who  will  be  actively  identified  with  the 
new  organization  are  as  follows; 
Western  Machinery  Company — Wm. 
Angus,  president  and  general  manager; 
George  P.  Guy,  vice  president  Sam 
Kahn,  treasurer;  W^.  R.  Hale,  secretary; 
J.  M.  Davis,  sales  manager;  John  H. 
Suter,  chief  engineer.  Enterprise  En- 
gine Company — Charles  J.  P.  Hoen, 
president;  H.  E.  Morgan,  vice  president; 
.A..  J.  Martens,  treasurer;  Wm.  J. 
Donlon,  secretary;  Henry  Martens,  di- 
rector. Headquarters  of  the  new  com- 
pany will  be  at  Los  Angeles. 

J.  P.  Browner  is  branch  manager  for 
San  Francisco  with  offices  at  423  Rialto 
Building.

DETAILS 


The    patent    office    description    of    the 
machine   reads   as   follows: 

"A  bricklaying  machine  for  building 
four  enclosing-  walls  simultaneously 
comprises  two  upright  frames  (A, A', 
Fig.  1)  traveling  on  rails  (1)  and  a 
horizontal  framework  (B)  adjustable 
vertically  by  hand  gearing  and  on 
which  traverses  bricklaying  mechanism 
(C).  The  rails  (1)  are  laid  outside  two 
parallel  walls  to  be  built,  and  the  ma- 
chine is  moved  in  succession  forward 
as  a  whole;  then  the  laying  device  (C) 
is  moved  across;  the  whole  is  moved 
backward,  and  again  the  device  (C) 
is  moved  across,  so  that  brick  are  laid 
alternatedly  on  the  main  and  the  end 
walls.  The  carriage  (6)  rides  on  a 
rack  (5)  and  carries  a  brick  receptacle 
(9)  below  which  is  the  laying 
mechanism  (11)  rotatable  on  an  axis 
(12). 

The  framework  (E)  is  suspended  by 
ropes  (15)  that  pass  from  a  winding 
drum  (16)  driven  by  a  square  shaft 
(18)  that  is  rotated  by  manually  op- 
erated  gearing    (21) 

The  entire  machine  is  driven  on  the 
rails  (1)  bv  the  vertical  shafts  (24) 
and  the  horizontal  shaft  (33)  actuated 
by  a  motor  (35,  Figs.  10  and  11), 
through  wheels  (36e,  48)  and  clutch 
(51)  For  traversing  the  laying  device 
on  the  framework  (B),  the  motor  (35) 
drives  gearing  (36a,  36c,  36e)  and  re- 
versing bevel  gearing  (38)  controlling 
a  shaft  (39),  which  by  gearing  (39b) 
drives  a  spur  wheel  (8)  in  mesh  with 
the  rack   (5). 

The  brick  are  fed  by  hand  from  auto- 
matically rising  and  falling  cages 
(99a)  to  the  receptacle  (9).  The  bottom 


OF    MECHANICAL    BRICKLAYIXG   MACHINE 


Editor's  note:  The  following 
article,  taken  from  the  Patent 
Journal  of  the  British  Patent 
Office,  describes  the  operation  of 
the  new  bricklaying  machine 
that  has  received  so  much  pub- 
licity in  this  country  and  that 
has  been  previously  mentioned  in 
the   Daily   Pacific  Builder. 

It  is  understood  that  the  ma- 
chine is  still  in  an  experimental 
stage-  but  in  several  instances  it 
actually  has  been  put  to  work 
laying  brick.  The  inventor  is  fe. 
Kaye,  of  Edinburgh,  Scotland.  It 
is  interesting  to  see  how  the  in- 
ventor has  worked  out  the  dif- 
ficult details.  It  is  claimed  for 
the  machine  that  it  can  lay  from 
1000  to   1500  brick  per  hour. 

We  wish  to  acknowledge  the 
kindness  of  the  Brick  and  Clay 
Record.  the  Common  Brick 
Manufacturers'  Association,  and 
H  Greville  Montgomery,  editor  of 
the  British  Clayworker,  and  The 
American  Contractor  of  Chicago, 
through  whose  efforts  the  article 
■was   secured. 


brick  lie  diaganolly  on  projecting 
plates  (5-'  Fig.  6),  and  between  notched 
plates  (52)  that  are  pivoted  to  levers, 
(54  54a)  operated  by  an  arm  (57), 
link  (59),  and  bell-crank  lever  (o8, 
Fig.  4)  coacting  with  a  stop  (70)  on  a 
depending  rod   (63). 

At  every  brick  length  traversed,  the 
cam  (47)  driven  by  pinion  (45)  and 
bevel  gearing  (45b)  permits  the  rods 
(63)  to  descend  and  push  the  brick 
from   the   receptacle    (9)    so   that   they 


f-Ul  and  are  received  by  spring  arms 
(14,  Figs.  3  and  4),  at  the  top  of  a 
rotating  drum  or  frame  (11).  The 
arms  open  out  on  contact  with  fixed 
rollers  (71),  and  as  the  drum  rotates 
the  arms  (14)  are  opened  again  in  their 
lowest  position  by  bars  (72),  and  the 
lowest  brick  are  deposited  by  the  de- 
scent of  the  plunger  (68).  Mortar  in 
a  tank  (34)  is  discharged  by  a  grooved 
roller  (74),  whence  it  is  removed  by 
scrapers  (77)  to  endless  bands  (78)  and 
is  deposited  by  a  scraper  (81)  on  the 
brick   already   laid. 

The  newly  laid  brick  are  pushed  up 
against  those  already  laid  by  a  bar  (89) 
operated  bv  a  lever  (87)  and  rocking 
shaft  (83)  carrying  a  roller  arm  (84) 
coacting  with  the  cam  (47).  The  lay- 
ing device  is  rotated  through  a  right 
angle  at  the  end  of  each  travel  and 
traverse  by  the  pinion  (44b,  Fig.  10) 
and  loose  wheel  (44c)  operated  through 
the  clutch  (41),  bevel  gearing  (42a), 
and   vertical   shaft    (44a). 

The  casting  (44d)  is  locked  by  lugs 
(44h)  engaging  notches  and  are  re- 
leased when  desired  by  a  hand  link 
(103),  link  (102),  bell  crank  (101),  and 
rod  (100).  Guiding  arms  (91,  Fig.  3), 
insure  alignment  of  the  laid  brick  and 
are  raised  clear  by  a  rod  (93)  at  each 
partial  rotation  of  the  laying  device 
In  one  modification,  the  framework  (B) 
travels  on  stationary  main  frames  (A) 
that  extend  along  one  pair  of  walls; 
and  in  another  form,  the  laying  device 
travels  along  a  4-sided  horizontal 
framework  supported  by  vertical  struc- 
tures. Specifications  119,  331,  and  134, 
296  are  referred  to."

How  the  Motor 
Industry  Set  the  Pace 
for  Highway  Buildhig 

The  "horseless  carriage"  of  yesterday  is  n°^  being  pro- 
duced  as  the  modern  automobile  at  the  rate  of  4,000,000 
a  year  The  total  number  of  motor  vehicles  registered 
in  the  United  States  is  over  16,000,000. 

And  automobiles  built  today  are  «^of  ^han  ^^^^ 
capable  of  economically  serving  both  business  and 
recreation  needs. 

But  there  is  an  obstacle  standing  in  the  way  of  their 
maximum  service  to  owners. 

For  while  the  automobile  industry  made  paved  high- 
ways an  economic  necessity,  the  mileage  of  such  roads 
is  today  years  behind  the  requirements  of  modern  trathc. 

Happily  motorists  everywhere  are  boosting  for  more 
and  wider  paved  highways. 

And  extensive  experience  has  taught  them  that  Con- 
Crete  Highways  are  one  of  the  best  all-around  investments 
they  can  make-an  investment  that  pays  big  dividends. 
As  one  of  our  16,000,000  motorists  you  know  better 
than  anyone  else  the  need  for  more  and  wider  Concrete 
Roads.  Start  now  to  help  your  local  officials  provide  them.

The  Department  of  Commerce  an- 
nounces that,  according  to  reports  for 
the  bienniel  census  of  manufactures, 
1923,  the  establishments  engaged  prim- 
arily in  the  manufacture  of  iron  and 
steel  doors  and  shutters  in  that  ynar 
reported  such  products  valued  at  $14,- 
077,428,  together  with  other  classes  of 
products  valued  at  $1,289,683,  making 
a  total  of  $15,367,111.  The  rate  of  in- 
crease in  the  total  value  of  products 
as  compared  with  1921,  the  last  preced- 
ing, census  year,  was  23.3  per  cent. 

In  addition,  doors  and  shutleis  were 
manufactured  to  some  extent  as  secon- 
dary products  by  establishments  en- 
gaged primarily  in  other  industries. 
The  value  of  these  products  thus  made 
outside  the  industry  proper  in  1921  was 
$386,457,  an  amount  equal  to  3  per  cent 
of  the  total  value  of  products  reported 
for  the  industry  proper.  The  corres- 
ponding value  for  1923  has  not  yet 
been  ascertained  but  will  be  shown  in 
the  final  reports  of  the  present  census. 

Of  the  37  establishments  reporting 
for  1923,  22  were  located  in  New  York, 
4  in  Illinois,  and  the  remaining  11  in 
California,  Indiana.  Minnesota,  Mis- 
souri, New  Jersey,  Ohio,  and  Tennessee. 
In  1921  the  industry  was  represented 
by  45  establishments,  the  decrease  to  37 
in  1923  being  the  net  result  of  the 
omission  of  10  establishments  which 
were  included  in  1921  and  the  inclus- 
ing  ot  2  new  establishments.  Of  the 
10  establishments  omitted.  4  had  gone 
out  of  business  before  the  beginning 
of  1923.  1  was  idle  throughout  the  year, 
4  had  been  engaged  primarily  in  the 
manufacture  of  doors  and  shutters  in 
1921  but  reported  other  commodities  as 
their  principal  products  in  1923  and 
were  therefore  classified  in  the  ap- 
propriate industries,  and  1  reported 
products  valued  at  less  than  $5,000  in 
1923.  (No  data  are  tabulated  at  the 
biennial  censuses  for  establishments 
with  products  under  $5,000  in  value.)   .

Commenting  upon  the  building  situa- 
tion, Gustave  Kahn,  \'ice  president  and 
General  Sales  Manager  of  the  Truscon 
Steel  Co.,  states: 

"The  idea  of  crowding  a  year's  con- 
struction work  into  three  or  four  hectic 
nionths  is  a  relic  of  the  dajs  when  con- 
crete could  not  be  poured  after  the 
thermometer  dropptd  below  the  freez- 
ing point  and  it  was  believed  unsafe  to 
lay  bricks  during  the  cold  weather. 
Due  to  modern  construction  facilities, 
■any  kind  of  building  from  a  dwelling 
■to  a  skyscraper  can  now  be  put  up  no 
matter  what  the  'weather  may  be  and 
without  any  delay. 

"The  long  periods  of  inactivity  have 
been  done  away  with  to  a  considerable 
"exlent,  but  the  'interludes'  are  still  with 
us.  Lengthening  of  the  building  season 
will  mean  greater  producuon  from  men 
now  engaged  in  the  building  trades  and 
will  go  far  toward  attracting  capable 
apprentices."  Fabricating  interests  are 
maintaining  production  at  85  to  90  per 
cent  of  normal. 


DUTY    0>'     MATER1.\L,S 


,  The  U.  S.  Customs  Board  at  New 
Yt)rk  has  handed  down  a  decision  to 
the  effect  that  duty  of  25  per  cent  ad 
valorem  must  be  paid  on  the  importa- 
tion of  asbestos-cement  shingles, 
boards  and  sheets,  since  the  chief  ma- 
terial of  these  products  is  asbestos. 
This  affects  some  important  orders  that 
have  been  placed  by  New  York  dealers 
and  may  remove  important  foreign 
tompetition. 


V.    S.    TREASIRY     OFFICIAL    RULES 
OX    CK.MMXT    Dl  MPIXG 


Domestic  cement  manufacturers 
failed  to  obtain  the  assessment  of  a 
special  anti-dumping  duty  on  Euro- 
pean cement. 

Assistant  Secretary  of  the  Treasury 
McKenzie  Moss  in  a  notice  to  ap- 
praisers of  merchandise  at  New  York. 
Los  Angeles,  I'ortland,  Ore.,  Honolulu 
and  San  Juan,  announced  that  the 
treasury  department  has  reached  the 
conclusion  that  the  finding  of  dumping 
Is  not  justified.  The  appraisers  need  no 
longer  withhold  appraisement  reports, 
as  directed  when  the  dumping  inquiry 
was  commenced,  several  months  ago. 

Leading  cement  manufacturers  of  the 
country  participated  in  the  case,  ex- 
tensive hearings  having  taken  place 
at  the  treasury  several  weeks  ago.  The 
contention  was  that  cement  was  being 
imported  from  Norway,  Sweden.  Bel- 
gium and  Denmark  at  prices  below  the 
home  market  value.  The  principal 
ports  through  which  the  foreign  ce- 
ment was  coming  were  those  on  the 
Paciflc  coast  and  in  the  Southeastern 
section   of  the  country. 

Assistant  Secretary  Moss  based  his 
ruling  on  a  recommendation  from  E. 
W.  Camp,  director  of  customs. 

A  memorandum  submitted  b.v  Mr. 
Camp  to  Assistant  Secretary  Moss  was 
as  follows: 

"Neither  the  evidence  adduced  by 
the  domestic  manufacturer  nor  the  of- 
ficial reports  of  the  customs  investigat- 
ing officers  establish  with  any  certainty 
or  definiteness  that  as  a  general  prac- 
tice, and  taking  into  consideration  the 
very  great  difference  in  wholesale 
quantities,  cement  has  t)een  sold  to  the 
United  States  by  any  of  the  countries 
in  question  at  less  than  the  foreign 
home  market  value.  Moreover,  this 
situation  involves  a  number  of  doubt- 
ful questions  of  appraisement. 

"The  evidence  of  injury  submitted 
by  the  domestic  manufacturers  is  very 
general  and  in  no  case  is  any  specific 
loss  or  injury  directly  traced  to  sales 
to  their  customers  of  European  cement 
at  le^s  than  the  foreign  home  market 
values. 

"The  imports  during  1923  from  the 
countries  accused  of  dumping  were  only 
1.04  per  cent  of  the  total  domestic  pro- 
duction of  the  United  States.  Even 
admitting  the  claim  of  the  domestic 
manufacturers  that  the  seacoast  dis- 
tricts, where  the  imported  cement  is 
distributed,  should  be  considered  as 
units  independently  of  the  interior  of 
the  country  the  official  statistics  and 
the  trade  papers  indicate  wonderful 
prosperity  of  the  cement  industry  in 
those  districts  in  1923  and  1924.  with 
imports  insignificant  as  compared  with 
the  domestic  production  and  sales."

ARCHITECTURE      ADVANCING 
ARCHITECT  .\SSERTS 


In  the  opinion  of  architects,  the 
United  States  is  destined,  within  the 
next  hundred  years,  to  see  the  greatest 
development  in  architecture  and  art 
in  the  world,  according  to  C.  W. 
Dickey,   Oakland   architect. 

Architect  Dickey,  who  has  been  visit- 
ing in  France.  Italy  and  other  portions 
of  p;urope,  is  in  possession  of  a  collec- 
tion of  photographs  he  brought  back 
frnm  the  Old  World.  These  include 
views  of  the  finest  architecture  In 
Rome,  Naples,  Paris  and  other  famous 
art  centers. 

Concerning  the  advance  of  architec- 
ture in  the  United  States,  Dickey  says: 

"American  architects  are  making 
great  strides  in  our  large  cities  along 
the  line  of  making  the  skyscraper  more 
and  more  artistic.  One  thing  which 
has  been  found  to  hold  wonderful  pos- 
sibilities is  New' York's  'set-back'  laiv. 
This  law  compels  the  builders  of  tall 
structures  to  set  the  upper  stories  far- 
ther back  from  the  property  line  than 
the  lower  stories.  This  is  done  to 
provide  for  a  greater  amount  of  light 
in  the  streets,  which  otherwise  would 
be  darkened  b.v  high  precipitous  walls. 
It  was  found  that  by  conforming  with 
this  law  buildings  could  be  made  monu- 
mental by  relying  on  masses  and 
shadows.  Through  the  limits  im- 
posed by  the  set-back  law  and  through 
other  factors  in  artistic  development, 
we  are  getting  back  to  the  artistic 
buildings  of  the  mediaeval  period,  com- 
bined with  the  modern  developments  in 
engineering  and  architecture.  I  be- 
lieve the  great  future  of  architecture 
and  art  is  right  here  in  our  own 
country." 


S.   F.    LU.MBER    IMPORTS    GROW 


Imports  of  lumber  to  San  Francisco 
for  the  month  of  September  showed  a 
gain  over  August,  according  to  figures 
compiled  by  the  marine  department  of 
the  Chamber  of  Commerce.  Total  im- 
ports for  September,  including  the  in- 
terior, Coast  ports  and  Washington  and 
Oregon,  were  75,203,000  feet  as  com- 
pared with  67,367,000  feet  for  the 
month  of  August,  an  increase  for  Sep- 
tember over  August  of  7,836,000  feet. 

Importations  of  lumber  from  Coast 
ports  for  the  past  month  showed  a  de- 
cline of  1.617,000  feet  as  compared  with 
August,  when  the  total  was  .16,361,000 
feet.  For  September  the  figures  were 
14,744.000  feet.  Importations  from  inter- 
ior points  and  Washington  and  Oregon 
for  September  showed  an  appreciable 
gain  over  the  preceding  month,  ac- 
cording to  the  Chamber  of  Commerce 
figures. 

From  interior  points  there  -was  a 
total  of  9,720,000  feet  of  lumber  comlne 
Into  the  local  port  during  the  past 
month,  as  compared  with  7,830,000  feet 
for  the  month,  a  gain  of  1,890.000  feet 
for  September.  Prom  Washington  and 
Oregon  the  lumber  importations  for  the 
past  month  were  50,739,000  feet  as  com- 
pared with  43.177,000  feet  for  the  month 
of  August,  a  gain  of  7,562,000  feet  for 
September  over  the  preceding  month. 

The  gain  in  importations  from 
Washington  and  Oregon  was  due  in  the 
main  to  the  recommissioning  of  several 
lumber  vessels  "which  have  been  laid 
up  on  the  local  bay  for  several  months. 
.\  number  of  these  vessels  went  into 
service  the  latter  part  of  August  with 
the  result  that  the  importations  from 
the  two  Northern  states  was  consider- 
able more  than  for  the  month  of 
.\ugust.

WHAT  HE  HEARS  AND  SEES  ON  HIS  ROUNDS 


The  proponents  of  the  day  labor  plan 
of  doing  public  work  recently  met  with 
a  set  back  when  the  Los  Angeles  Board 
of  Public  Works  decided  to  ask  for 
competitive  bids  on  eleven  precinct 
police  stations,  which  were  scheduled 
to  be  built  by  day  labor.  Several  con- 
tractors representing  the  building  or- 
ganizations of  Los  Angeles  appeared 
before  the  board  on  behalf  of  the  con- 
tract system  and  were  able  to  convince 
that  body  that  in  the  interests  of  con- 
struction economy  the  method  of  ask- 
ing for  competitive  bids  should  be  fol- 
lowed on  public  work.  This  furnished 
another  excellent  example  of  the  ef- 
fectiveness of  organization  in  the  in- 
dustry. 

I.  F.  Eldridge  of  the  U.  S.  Forest 
Service,  in  charge  of  timber  sales,  and

service,  have  completed  their  survey  of 
the  Bast  Warner  tract  of  timber,  which 
has  been  applied  for  purchase  by  the 
Lake  County  Oregion  Pine  Syndicate. 
The  tract  is  located  from  six  to  ten 
miles  east  of  Lakeview,  Ore.,  and  has 
been  cruised  in  the  past  Summer.  It 
is  estimated  to  contain  between  300,- 
000,000  and  400,000,000  feet  of  timber.

*AS.SICI1 


The  Inveslincnt  bankvis  n(  the  Uniteil 
Wlalcs  who  closed  their  ronvention  In 
Cleveland  recently  seemed  In  quite 
^teneral  agreement  with  a  report  mado 
to  Iheni  that  the  peak  in  buildins  costs, 
re.il  estate  values,  and  rentals  has 
passed.  From  this  time  on.  the  report 
advises  that  there  will  be  a  consider- 
able period  of  downward  trend. 

Many  of  the  dealers  in  real  estate 
mortKage  securities  feel  that  a  time  of 
test  Is  bclns:  faced  as  to  the  soundness 
and  the  seeurlty  of  many*  investments. 
Statements  have  been  made  that 
leans  are  out  In  amounts  representing 
altogether  loo  high  a  percentage  of 
the  appraisal  value.  Such  loans  might 
be  good  on  short  time  basis,  but  figur- 
ing on  a   long  time  basis,   not  so  good. 

Hegarding  building  costs,  the  re- 
port says  in  part.  "The  biggest  item 
in  the  cost  of  building  is  labor.  We  are 
told  by  some  economists  that  we  are 
facing  tor  the  next  decade  a  steady  de- 
cline in  the  cost  of  labor,  and  in  the 
c'lsl   of    living  as   well. 

"We  also  are  advised  that  a  con- 
tinuance of  normal  building  activity 
is  of  vital  importance  to  the  main- 
tenance of  our  national  prosperity. 
I'aution  is,  nevertheless,  necessary, 
because  if  wages  and  living  costs  do 
greatly  decline,  the  erection  of  new 
structures  based  on  rentals  that  are 
above  the  willing  and  comfortable  abil- 
ity of  tenants  to  pay,  or  which  do  not 
afford  the  maximum  degree  of  such 
comforts  as  are  commensurate  with 
the  rentals,  is  bound  to  lead  to  vacan- 
cies, and  vacancic.-s  to  distress  for

C.  H.  Purcell,  district  engineer  of  the 
U.  S.  Bureau  of  Roads  at  Portland,  has 
presented  the  Oregon  State  Highway 
Commission  with  a  letter  from  the  de- 
lartment  of  agriculture  which  says  that 
no  government  aid  will  be  given  roads 
that  will  be  tributary  to  toll  bridges 
or  ferries.  This  action  was  brought 
about  by  counties  in  Washington  sell- 
ing franchises  to  private  interests  to 
operate  bridges  and  ferries  on  three 
chief  highways  of  the  state  on  which 
the  federal  government  had  given  aid. 


The  city  of  Tokio  has  more  theaters 
and  moving  picture  houses  than  before 
the  earthquake  of  September.  1923, 
when  more  than  100,000  people  per- 
ished. There  are  now  42  first  class 
theaters  as  compared  to  30,  and  the 
movie  houses  have  increased  in  the 
same  proportion.  Hotels  and  restau- 
rants are  back  almost  to  their  normal 
nuinber.  Seventy  per  cent  of  the  dam- 
age done  by  the  earthquake  has  been 
repaired.

Heat  Consumption  of  Twenty-seven   Different  Types  of 

Dwelling  Houses 


In  a  recent  review  by  the  Research 
Bureau  of  investigations  into  the  sub- 
ject of  heat  transmissibility  of  walls 
commonly  used  in  dwelling  construc- 
tion, the  statement  was  made  that  as 
between  different  types  of  walls,  ad- 
vantages and  disadvantages  had  not 
been  clearly  demonstrated.  All  of  the 
conclusions  mentioned  in  that  article 
were  based  on  experiments  made  with 
sections  of  the  different  types  of  wall, 
the  results  then  being  theoretically 
applied  to  complete  houses  in  order  to 
obtain  comparisons  of  practical  value. 

In  Norway,  however,  instead  of  test- 
ing wall  sections  and  then  making 
theoretical  inferences,  they  have  ap- 
proached the  problem  in  the  very  prac- 
tical manner  of  constructing  groups  of 
small  but  complete  houses  with  many 
different  types  of  walls.  Then  instead 
of  entering  into  complex  calculations 
in  regard  to  thermal  units,  the  Nor- 
wegian experimenters  have  simply  ap- 
plied sufficient  electric  current  in  each 
one  of  the  27  houses  to  maintain  a 
uniform    temperature    in    all    of    them. 


Consequently,  the  variation  in  the 
amount  of  electric  current  consumed  is 
an  infallible  test,  under  Norwegian 
climatic  conditions,  of  the  different 
types  of  walls  in  respect  to  heat  reten- 
tion. Thus  the  Norwegians  appear  to 
have  got  entirely  beyond  the  realm  of 
theory  and  wholly  into  the  domain  of 
fact  with  their  investigations. 

The  Sept.  24  number  of  the  American 
Architect  and  the  Architectural  Re- 
view contains  a  summary  of  these  in- 
teresting Norwegian  experiments,  as 
given  in  a  booklet  by  Professor  An- 
drew Bugge.  of  the  Norwegian  Tech- 
nical University,  the  booklet  being 
published  by  F.  Bruns  Bokhandels 
Forlag.    Trondhjem,    Norway. 

It  appears  that  of  the  27  test  houses, 
17  were  erected  by  the  Norwegian 
government,  and  the  others  by  muni- 
cipalities and  construction  companies. 
All  of  the  houses  were  designed  by 
Professor  Bugge  and  were  2x2  meters 
sr4uare  and  2.25  meters  high.  The  floor, 
ceiling,  double  windows  and  doors  were 
alike    in    all    of    the    houses,    the    only

variable  feature  being  the  construction       j 
cf   the   walls. 

Besides  measuring  the  quantity  of 
heat  energy  which  had  to  be  supplied 
to  each  individual  house  in  order  to 
maintain  the  inside  temperature  at  a 
constant  level,  usually  20  degrees  Cen- 
tigrade, tests  were  made  to  find  how 
quickly  the  air  in  the  houses  cooled 
off  when  the  supply  of  heat  was  cut  oft. 
and  how  quickly  on  the  other  hand 
the  air  is  heated  by  a  constant  heat 
supply.  Measurements  were  also  made 
of  the  humidity  of  the  air  in  the 
houses  and  in  the  wall  cavities  and  of 
the  air  temperature  in  the  hollows  o£ 
the  walls. 

The  following  table  gives  the  cor- 
rected results  in  respect  to  relative 
heat  consumption  of  the  experiments 
tor  all  the  27  types  of  houses  but  the 
technical  details  of  the  methods  used 
for  correction  are  not  given  "as  they 
are  of  more  particular  interest  to  the 
physicist  and  research  investigator 
than  to  architects  and  engineers."

Consideration  of  space  makes  it  im- 
practicable to  give  details  of  type 
varities,  which  may  be  found  in  the 
Sept.  24  number  of  the  American  Ar- 
chitect. 

It  will  be  noted  that  house  No.  21  in 
the  above  table  consumed  less  heat 
than  any  of  the  others,  and  that  house 
No.  13,  which  is  taken  as  the  standard, 
is  next.  House  No.  21  was  a  lumber- 
built  house,  having  the  hollows  of  the 
walls  filled  with  dry  sawdust.  House 
No.  13  was  a  lumber-built  house  in  ac- 
cordance with  the  Trondhjem  regula- 
tions. The  main  part  of  the  walls 
consisted  of  3"  tongued  and  grooved 
planks  covered  on  the  outside  with 
impregnated  pasteboard  and  inside 
with  wool  pasteboard.  The  outside  of 
the  house  was  wood  panelling  with  a 
space  between  it  and  the  wood  wall 
proper,  and  the  inside  was  wood  panel- 
ling also  with  air  space  between  it  and 
the  main  wall.  There  were  twelve 
other  varieties  of  lumber  construction 
and   nine   of  brick. 

Commenting  on  the  above  table,  the 
American    Architect    says; 

"This    data,    as    given    in    the    table, 


clearly  indicates  that  the  consumption 
of  heat  in  the  wooden  houses  is  less 
than  in  the  brick  houses,  that  is  to  say, 
wooden  houses  are  cheaper  to  heat 
than  brick  houses.  From  the  table  it 
will  be  seen  that  test  house  No.  13, 
constructed  of  wood  framework,  con- 
sumes about  52  per  cent  less  heat  than 
house  No.  7,  constructel  of  1-br'Ck- 
thick  English  hollow  wall,  and  31  per 
cent  less  heat  than  house  No.  L  hav- 
ing 11*  solid  brick  wall;  or  about  ^7 
per  cent  less  than  inside  panelled  brick 
house    No.    3,    having    Bergens    hollow 

^''^•The  cost  of  a  house  built  of  each 
of  the  constructions  shown  was  esti- 
mated, and  it  was  found  that  the  brick 
house  costs  on  an  average  of  10  ...  per 
cent  more  than  the  wooden  house, 
based  on  prices  obtained  in  N«"X^^y  '" 
November  1920.  Professor  Bugge 
states  tiiat  when  it  is  considered  that 
shorter  time  is  needed  for  the  erection 
of  a  wooden  house  than  for  that  of  3 
brick  house,  whereby,  among  other 
things,  interest  is  saved  on  the  build-' 
ing  loan,  experienced  builders  are  of 
the  opinion  that  the  difference^may  be 
placed   at    15   per   cent.     * 


"House  No.  21,  the  walls  of  which 
were  filled  with  sawdust,  was  found  to 
be  the  cheapest.  Sawdust  must  be  dry 
in  order  to  be  an  efficient  non-con- 
ductor of  heat  and  before  its  use  can 
become  general,  some  means  must  be 
found  to  make  it  dry  and  render  it 
damp-proof.  ,   ,    .  ,    .i,-   i 

"House  No.  7,  with  l-brick-thick 
English  hollow  wall,  is  the  least  ex- 
pensive of  the  brick  houses  to  con- 
•struct  Should  a  more  substantial  wall 
be  desired  than  this,  it  is  recommended 
that  a  l',4  brick  (approximately  12  in.) 
thick  hollow  wall,  like  house  No.  6,  to 
be  usrd  but  not  house  No.  4  with 
Trondhjem  hollow  walls  of  correspond- 
ing thickness.     *     »     » 

"It  appears,  therefore,  from  these 
tests  that  to  obtain  a  really  good  and 
warm  house,  which  shall  be  compara- 
tivelv  cheap  in.  construction  and  main- 
tenance,  it  should  be  built  of  wood.      • 

"There  has  been  considerable  discus- 
sion among  experts  both  in  Norway 
and  England  as  to  whether  the  air 
snace  in  brick  walls  should  be  4"  from 
the  outer  surface  or  the  inner  surface.

sults  of   these    tests    more   particularly 


Saliirdny.   October   18,   1924 


In  reference  to  the  houses  Nob.  4,  E, 
and  6.  Herelofure,  his  opinion  had 
licc-n  that  the  air  spare  should  be 
wilhiii  4"  of  the  inner  lini-  i>f  the  wall. 
He  staU'M  that  the  measurements  In  the 
lest  houses  now  show  that  the  air 
space  should  be  within  4"  of  the  out- 
side wall.  This  Is  explained  as  arising 
from  the  fact  that  the  inner  part  of 
the  wail  is  always  drier  tlian  the  outer 
part,  and  a  dry  wall  in.sulate8  better 
than  a  damp  one.  The  best  heat  In- 
sulation is,  therefore,  obtained  by 
laying  the  principal  mass  of  the  wall 
where  it  is  the  driest,  namely  inner- 
most. In  this  connection  the  fact  that 
the  inner  wall  part  is  ci>nstructed  of 
a  litfhter  burned  brick  (inedium  burn- 
ed') than  the  outer  wall,  has  a  deter- 
mining influence  in  the  result."  Pro- 
fessor liuBee  sums  up  the  results  of 
his  experiments  in  fourteen  para- 
graphs, two  of  which  a'e  as  follows: 
"Wooden  houses  are  cheaper  to  heat 
than  bricl<  houses,  and  considerably 
cheaper  to  heat  than  brick  houses  with 
solid  1V4  brick  outer  walls;  Hollow 
walls  are  better  heat-insulating  than 
solid  walls,  and  ought  therefore,  al- 
wa.vs,  to  be  used."

llK<;iSTIt.\TIOX    FEK    AND    GAS    T.\X 
FOR    MOTORIST    .\RE    LOW 


Motorists  of  the  country  pay  in  the 
form  of  gasoline  taxes  and  registration 
fees  an  average  of  only  a  Quarter  of  a 
cent  a  mile  according  to  the  Bureau  of 
I'ublic  Roads  of  the  United  States  De- 
partment of  Agriculture. 

That  is  what  the  fees  paid  in  a  year 
amount  to  when  divided  by  6,000  which 
is  believed  to  be  the  average  motorist's 
annual  mileage.  The  average  license 
fee  per  mile  travelled  is  one-tifth  of  a 
cent  and  the  gasoline  taxes  paid  make 
up  the  difference  of  one-twenty-fifth  of 
a   cent. 

The  motorist  or  truck  operator  is  as- 
sured of  a  good  return  from  the  taxes 
he  pays  since  the  receipts  are  very 
largely  devoted  to  road  construction 
and  maintenance.  In  1923,  81  per  cent 
of  the  motor  vehicle  license  revenues 
and  58  per  cent  of  the  gasoline  taxes 
were  turned  over  to  the  State  highway 
departments  for  expenditure  under 
their  supervision  and  a  considerable 
portion  of  the  remainder  was  expended 
by   the  counties   for   road   purposes. 

Consideration  of  the  gasoline  tax  la 
of  special  interest  to  the  motor  vehicle 
operator.  Thirty-flve  States  now  have 
this  form  of  tax,  the  rates  ranging 
from  one  to  three  cents  with  the  excep- 
tion of  one  State  which  has  a  four 
cents  tax.  A  one  cent  gasoline  tax  in- 
creases the  cost  of  operating  the 
average  vehicle  by  less  than  a  tenth 
of  a  cent  per  mile.  On  a  trip  from 
Washington  to  Philadelphia  the  tax 
would  amount  to  10  cents.  The  trip 
over  the  Lincoln  Highway  from  New 
York  to  San  Francisco  would  be  taxed 
$2.50.  It  is  interesting  to  compare 
these  rates  with  the  toll  charges  which 
motorists  formerly  had  to  pay  to  toll 
roads.  On  six  different  turnpikes  in 
Virginia  and  Maryland  tolls  amounting 
to  $5.05  were  charged  for  a  total  of  187 
miles  which  is  equivalent  to  2.7  cents 
a  mile.  If  a  State  attempted  to  charge 
this  same  rate  for  the  use  of  the  public 
highways  by  automobiles  it  would  have 
to  establish  a  gasoline  tax  of  36  cents 
per  gallon. 


V.    S.    LUMBER    USERS 


It  is  estimated  that  50  American  in- 
dustries annually  use  36,125.000,000 
board  feet  of  lumber  of  different 
species  and  in  a  great  variety  of 
shapes  and  sizes.  General  building  and 
construction  takes  the  greatest  amount, 
approximately  13,500.000,000  board 
feet.  The  next  largest  amount,  13,500,- 
000,000  feet,  is  worked  up  as  planing 
mill  products,  and  the  next  largest 
amount,  12,750,000,000  board  feet,  is 
used  in  car  construction. 


The   Maintenance,    Repair   and 

Replacement    of    Timber    Bridges 


ny   Dun   E\ 


t'ounty  Ilrlilee  EnBliirer,  KlnRT  County,  \Va»hln|f«on 


During  the  life  of  a  bridge  there  are 
at  least  two  main  problems  to  con- 
sider— that  of  maintenance  and  that  of 
reconstruction.  There  are  two  chief 
contributing  causes  for  maintenance, 
namely:     Trafflc  and  rot. 

Trafllc  is  the  more  serious  of  the 
two.  A  few  ye^rs  ago  highway  bridges 
were  designed  for  a  uniform  load. 
Later  traction  engines  were  assumed  to 
be  the  critical  loads  for  the  floor  and 
still  later  road  rollers  were  used  for 
the  same  purpose.  Today,  motor 
trucks  are  the  greatest  menace  to  our 
bridges. 

After  investigating  the  strength  of 
several  old  bridges  I  found  that  they 
were  not  designed  with  uniform 
strength  throughout  to  take  care  of 
more  than  half  the  loads  of  today,  and 
no  doubt  these  old  bridges  referred  to 
are  typical  examples.  The  floor  systems 
are  weaker  than  the  trusses.  To  "-emedy 
this  condition  in  King  county  we  limit 
the  loads  and  speed  of  vehicles  travel- 
ing over   these    bridges. 

Renewal  of  Floors 
The  greatest  part  of  our  maintenance 
work  deals  v/ith  the  repair  and  renewal 
of  the  floor  system.  This  brings  up 
the  subject.  Which  is  the  best  kind  of 
deck  to  use?  Whether  the  wooden 
stringers  with  4.x4  planks,  the  wooden 
dock  covered  with  an  asphaltic  top, 
wood  block  decks  or  reinforced  con- 
crete  deck? 

The  12-inch  planks  on  wooden 
stringers  are  quickly  laid  and  easily 
replaced  and  have  good  drainage,  the 
4x4  deck  wears  longer  but  is  harder  to 
repair,  has  poor  drainage  and  in  a 
short  time  becomes  very  noisy;  also 
they  are  not  as  strong,  and  where 
large  gravel  has  been  dropped  on  a 
bridge  with  4x4  deck  you  will  find 
many  broken  planks  due  to  the  punch- 
ing effect  of  a  truck  wheel  on  a  single 
piece   of   large   gravel. 

The  asphalt  deck  is  very  expensive 
to  lay  unless  you  are  close  to  an  as- 
phalt plant;  it  is  difficult  to  inspect,  it 
stimulates  rot  and  it  is  hard  to  repair 
the  planking  underneath.  Wood  block 
paving  is  also  expensive,  hard  to  re- 
pair and  in  freezing  weather  very  apt 
to  heave  up  on  account  of  the  moisture 
underneath   freezng. 

Concrete  De«k.s  Used 
Reinforced  concrete  decks  on  wood- 
en stringers  and  pile  bents  are  some- 
thing new  and  have  the  same  draw- 
backs as  an  asphaltic  deck,  but  they 
have  been  tried  out  by  the  state  high- 
way department  and  found  satisfactory 
in  many  instances.  However,  in  gen- 
eral I  don't  believe  it  is  economy  to 
place  a  permanent  deck  on  a  temporary 
sub-structure. 

In  choosing  the  type  of  deck  to  use 
it  is  now  necessary  with  our  present 
day  trafflc,  to  always  keep  in  mind  the 
inconvenience  to  the  public  in  closing 
bridges  for  repair,  and  with  this  in 
view  we  in  King  county  have  adopted 
the  4xl2-ineh  plank  and  4xl6-inch 
wooden  stringers  for  our  timber 
bridges. 

Rot  is  the  other  contributing  factor 
in  timber  bridge  maintenance,  and 
something  very  much  talked  of  but 
generally  overlooked.  The  trusses  and 
structure  below  the  deck  are  parts 
which  suffer  most   from  this  cause.   De- 


bris is  allowed  to  collect  on  the  deck 
and  this  in  time  is  pushed  under  the 
guard  rails  and  over  oi#  the  bottom 
chord  where  it  usually  remains  to  stim- 
ulate rot.  During  the  repair  of  decks 
the  dirt  is  dropped  on  the  caps,  sills, 
or  pedestals  below.  Chord  members  un- 
protected from  the  sun,  checks,  which 
allows  moisture  to  penetrate  into  the 
heart  of  the  timber.  These  conditions 
could  be  and  should  be  eliminated  in 
the  maintenance  work  by  systematic 
inspection  and  cleaning.  The  truss 
members  and  handrails  exposed  to  the 
sun   should   be   painted. 

Replarenient.s  or  Renewals 
When  the  time  arrives  for  replace- 
ment or  renewals,  there  are  many 
things  that  have  to  be  considered.  The 
first  is — the  amount  of  money  placed  in 
the  budget  for  the  ,1ob  in  hand.  The 
type  of  highway  the  bridge  is  located 
on.  That  is,  is  it  an  arterial  highway 
or  just  a  feeder.  The  amount  of  traf- 
fic it  has  to  carry  at  the  present  time 
and  the  probable  amount  in  the  future. 
Where  possible,  I  believe  it  is  econ- 
omy to  build  permanent  bridges  on 
main  highways;  that  is  what  we  are 
doing  in  King  ocunty.  On  roads  feed- 
ing into  the  main  highways,  which  are 
classed  as  road  district  roads  and  on 
which  the  funds  are  limited,  replace- 
ment is  best  made  by  timber  structure. 
In  the  design  of  these  new  bridges 
considerable  thought  should  be  given 
to  future  maintenance  and  the  main- 
tenance problems  that  we  now  have  on 
the  old  bridges  can  be  almost,  if  not 
entirely,    eliminated. 

Truck  Weight  Studied 
Design  for  our  present  day  traffic 
and  with  the  idea  in  mind  of  prevent- 
ing rot:  In  King  county,  we  have  as- 
sumed a  typical  truck  with  10  foot 
wheelbase  and  six  foot  guage.  The 
space  covered  by  one  truck  as  10x20 
feet,  symetrical  about  the  truck  cen- 
ter. One-third  of  the  weight  on  the 
front  axle  and  two-thirds  on  the  rear 
axle.  With  this  standard  size  and 
distribution  we  have  divided  our  load- 
ing into  two  classes, — "A"  and  "B". 

Class  "A"  to  be  used  for  heavily 
traveled  trunk  roads  and  Class  "B" 
for  lighter  traveled  roads  or  feeders 
to  our  main  highways.  Class  "A" 
bridges  are  designed  for  a  20  ton  truck 
loaded  as  per  typical  truck.  Class 
"B"  bridges  are  designed  for  15  ton 
loads.  When  the  clear  roadway  is  20 
feet  or  more,  the  floor  system  is  de- 
signed for  two  trucks  passing.  High- 
er unit  stresses  are  used  for  floor 
beams,  however,  in  this  case  than  un- 
der the  normal  single  load  because  the 
double  load  is  a  relatively  rare  oc- 
curance. 

The  modern  truck  is  capable  of  oper- 
ating at  a  rate  of  about  12  miles  per 
hour  and  the  driver  seldom,  if  ever, 
slows  down  a  machine  when  on  a 
bridge.  To  take  care  of  this  an  im- 
pact of  25  per  cent  of  the  live  load  is 
taken. 

In  our  study  of  rot  and  its  preven- 
tion on  timber  bridges,  we  have  found 
that  by  covering  the  top  and  bottom 
chords  with  galvanized  iron  and  paint- 
ing all  timber  with  a  good  preserva- 
tive paint,  we  can  secure  a  life  of 
double  the  life  of  an  unprotected 
bridge.     The  economy  is  obvious. 


BONDED   DEBTS   OF   CITIES 

The  bonded  debt  of  United  States 
cities  continues  to  increase  at  the  rate 
of  about  one  billion  dollars  a  year, 
according  to  the  Detroit  Bureau  of 
Government  Research.  The  average 
per  capita  debt  of  all  cities  of  2,500 
or    more    is    $70.80,    but    the    per    capita 


debt  ranges  from  $258.62  for  Norfolk  to 
$10.95  for  Quincy,  111.,  omitting  Wash- 
ington, which  has  only  a  few  old  bond 
issues  outstanding.  The  per  capita  in- 
debtedness in  general  is  below  that  of 
of  thirteen  principal  Canadian  cities,  in 
which  it  ranges  from  $363.05  in  Ed- 
monton, Alberta,  to  $112.02  in  Hamil- 
ton,  Ontario.

The  International  Cut  Stone  Con- 
tractors' and  Quarrymen's  Association 
recently  put  out  the  following  succinct 
statement   of   what   it   is: 

The  International  Cut  Stone  Contrac- 
tors' and  Quarrymen's  Association,  In- 
corporated, as  the  name  implies  is  an 
organization  of  cut  stone  contractors 
and  quarrymen.  The  quarrymen  pro- 
duce and  supply  the  raw  and  machined 
material  to  the  cut  stone  contractors. 
The  cut  stone  contractors  fabricate 
this  material  in  accordance .  with  the 
plans  and  the  specifications  of  the  ar- 
chitect for  erection   in  the  buildings. 

Numbered  among  the  membership  of 
the  International  Cut  Stone  Contrac- 
tors' and  Quarrymen's  Association  are 
a  majority  of  the  most  responsible  and 
capable  ciit  stone  plants  in  the  country; 
in  fact  one  of  the  essentials  to  mem- 
bcrshii)  in  the  association  is  that  an 
applicant  must  have  a  legitimate  in- 
vestment in  a  plant  and  its  equipment. 
The  membership  of  the  association 
extends  from  Canada  to  the  Gulf  and 
from  the  Atlantic  seaboard  to  the 
western  states. 

The  purposes  of  the  association  are: 
To  promote  the  use  of  natural  stone; 
to  arrange  labor  conditions  in  keeping 
with  the  present  day  standard  of  liv- 
ing; yet  to  keep  such  conditions  in  due 
bounds  that  cut  stone  may  be  supplied 
at  reasonable  cost,  in  fact  at  minimum 
cost;  and  to  establish  free  and  equit- 
able competition  to  the  end  that  the 
industry  and  those  engaged  in  it  may 
conduct  their  affairs  on  the  highest 
plane  of  integrity,  that  the  designs  of 
the  architect  may  be  thoroughly  and 
capably  e.xecuted,  and  that  the  owner 
may  obtain  the  best  of  cut  stone  work 
at   minimum   cost. 

To  that  end  a  code  of  practice  has 
been  approved  by  the  members  of  this 
association.  This  code  of  practice  is 
but  the  pronouncement  of  an  honest 
intention  freely  and  honestly  to  supply 
figures  in  open  and  legitimate  compe- 
tition and  an  e.xercise  of  individual  de-

termination  to  refrain  from  being  a 
party  to  the  peddling  or  shopping  i.l 
work  on  which  competitive  figures 
previously  have  been  taken  and  the 
general  contract  awarded. 

It  costs  time  and  money  to  prepare 
out  stone  figures.  Figures,  however,  are 
cheerfully  supplied  by  members  of  this 
association  with  but  one  chance  of  re- 
muneration, viz:  to  obtain  the  work  it 
the  member  is  the  low  legitimate  bid- 
der. Surely  those  who  solicit  or  make 
use  of  competitive  figures  must  agree 
that  the  responsible  low  bidder  who 
has  cheerfully  given  his  time  to  pre- 
paring a  competitive  figure  on  the  pro- 
ject is  entitled  to  the  work. 

This  association  requests — that  an 
architect  designate  a  definite  closing 
date  on  which  figures  are  to  be  opened; 
that  general  contractors  soliciting  cut 
stone  figures  on  such  project  solicit  at 
the  time  as  many  figures  as  may  be  de- 
sired; that  the  general  contractor  keep 
such  figures  absolutely  confidential, 
and,  it  awarded  the  general  contract, 
that  the  cut  stone  work  be  promptly 
awarded  to  the  cut  stone  contractor 
whose  bid   was  used. 

To  peddle  and  shop  work  after  a  gen- 
eral contract  has  been  secured  is  a 
lamentable  practice,  one  that  estab- 
lishes uncertainty;  it  is  a  breach  of 
good  faith. 

This  association  has  absolutely  no 
jurisdiction,  nor  does  it  attempt  any, 
over  prices.  Each  and  every  member  of 
the  association  supplies  figures  in  open 
competition  with  an  honest  endeavor  to 
obtain  the  work.  This  association  has 
no  knowledge  whatsoever  of  the  prices 
(luoted  on  a  project  until  the  day  fol- 
lowing that  on  which  figures  are 
opened  bv  the  architect.  Our  purpose, 
as  stated  above,  is  to  promote  free, 
equitable,  and  legitimate  competition 
and  to  work  with  the  architects  and 
the  general  contractors  to  the  end 
that  such  commendable  ethics  may  be 
firmly  established  in  the  building  in- 
dustry.

sents an  increase  of  2,549,650  vehicles 
or  20  per  cent  over  the  registration  of 
July  1.  1923.  There  is  now  one  motor 
vehicle  for  each  6.6  persons.  The 
greatest  number  of  motor  vehicles  in 
proportion  to  population  is  found  In 
the  Pacific  States  where  there  is  one 
motor  vehicle  to  3.4  persons.  The  least 
number  is  found  in  the  East  South 
Central  States  where  the  ratio  is  1  to 
13.6.  This  section,  however,  showed  a 
gain  in  registration  of  32  per  cent, 
the  greatest  of  any  group  of  States. 


I.OS   ANGELES    COUNCIL   VOTES   FOR 
PATENTED    PAVEMENT 


J.  Robinson  will  operate  under  the

Kenneth  C.  Phelps  and  John  An- 
naudo  will  operate  under  the  trade 
name  of  Quality  Metal  Works  at  1634 
Howard  street,   San  Francisco. 


The  question  whether  patented  pave- 
ments would  be  included  in  Los  An- 
geles city  specifications  as  redrafted  by 
the  city  engineering  department  was 
settled  by  the  city  council  voting  5  to 
4  in  favor  of  permitting  the  use  of 
patented  pavements.  Action  by  council 
followed  a  series  of  hearings  in  which 
both  advocates  and  opponents  of  pat- 
ented pavements  were  given  a  hearing 
and  a  long  debate  among  the  members 
of  council.  The  city  attorney  was  In- 
structed to  prepare  an  ordinance  em- 
bodying the  revised  specifications 
which  will  come  up  for  final  action 
shortly. 


\SPHALT-BITCMENS        PRODI  CTION 
IN    1DS3 

Both  the  quantity  and  the  value  of 
asphalt  and  related  bitumens  produced 
in  the  United  Stales  increased  in  1923 
according  to  a  statement  issued  by  the 
Department  of  the  Interior,  based  on 
figures  compiled  in  the  Geological  Sur- 
vey. 

The  sales  by  producers  were  as  fol- 
lows: Native  asphalt  and  related  bi- 
tumens, 40,236  short  tons,  valued  at  $2,- 
885,631;  asphalt  made  from  domestic 
petroleum,  995,654  short  tons,  valued 
at  $13,060,174;  asphalt  made  from 
Mexican  petroleum,  1,378,722  short  tons, 
valued  at   $16,840,045. 

The  imports  of  ozokerite  and  other 
mineral  waxes  were  4,856,357  pounds, 
vauled  at  $213,407,  a  decrease  of  more 
than  40  per  cent  in  both  quantity  and 
value  from  the  imports  of  1922.  The 
exports  of  unmanufactured  asphalt 
were  72,628  short  tons,  valued  at  $1,- 
500,869,  an  increase  in  both  quantity 
and  value.  The  exports  of  manufactur- 
ed products  were  valued  at  $1,154,976. 


PASTE  PAINT  PRODUCTION 

Total  production  of  paste  paints  dur- 
ing the  first  six  months  of  1924  totaled 
253  744,100  pounds,  while  total  sales 
amounted  to  203,045,500  pounds.  By  far 
the  greater  amount  was  classified  as 
white  lead  in  oil.  During  the  same 
time,  the  total  production  of  ready 
mixed  paints,  semi-paste  paints,  mill 
whites,  and  enamels  was  45,122,500  gal-

To    Determine    Economic   Value   of 

Reinforcement   in    Concrete    Roads 


The  details  of  plan  and  procedure  to 
be  followed  in  the  investigation  of  the 
economic  value  of  reinforcement  in 
concrete  roads,  being  undertaken  by 
the  Highway  Uescarch  Board  of  the 
National  Researcrh  Council,  arc  now 
completed  and  Held  examinations  are 
about  to  commence.  Director  Chas.  M. 
Upham  reports  that  the  various  State 
Highway  Commissions  will  actively 
co-operate  with  the  Board  in  conduct- 
ing this  investigation.  Except  In  cases 
of  actual  failure,  inspections  will  con- 
cern principally  pavements  having  had 
at  least  five  years  of  service,  a  great 
number  of  which  are  located  in  states 
such  as  New  Jersey,  Ohio,  New  York, 
Pennsylvania,  Delaware,  Wayne  Coun- 
ty, Michigan,  Milwaukee  County,  Wis- 
consin,   Iowa,    Illinois,    and    California. 

In  this  intensive  study  an  effort  will 
he  made  to  determine  from  a  survey  of 
existing  roads;  tiie  influence  of  steel 
reinforcement  on  the  resistance  of  the 
slab  to  traffic,  subgrade,  and  climatic 
conditions;  the  conditions  under  whieli 
steel  reinforcement  is  especially  bene- 
ficial to  concrete  slabs;  the  effect  of 
slab  design  on  the  efficiency  of  rein- 
forcement; and  finally,  the  relative  cost 
of  plain  and  of  reinforced  concrete 
roads,  considering  the  initial  invest- 
ment, and  the  annual  maintenance  and 
renewal  charges. 

The  procedure  will  consist  of  a  per- 
sonal examination  of  a  sufficient  num- 
ber of  existing  road  surfaces  to  cover 
different  slabs,  traffic,  and  climatic 
conditions.  It  is  proposed  to  supple- 
ment the  examination  by  photographs, 
sketches,  soil  determinations  and  other 
available  data.  In  each  case,  attention 
will  be  given  to  a  study  of  the  sub- 
grade  to  determine  its  general  char-

The  Bogert  and  Carlough  Company,

Iowa  State  College  of  Agriculture 
and  Mechanic  Arts  has  published  Bul- 
letin 69  "Highway  Transportation 
Costs,"'  by  T.  R.  Agg  and  H.  S.  Carter. 
The  bulletin  contains  the  report  of  an 
investigation  conducted  by  the  Iowa 
Engineering  Experiment  Station  in  co- 
operation with  the  United  States 
Bureau  of  Public  Roads  and  the  Iowa 
Highway  Commission. 


made  of  original  data  to  determine 
the  materials  and  proportions  that  en- 
tered into  the  concrete,  the  method  of 
construction  that  was  followed  and  the 
particular  cross  section  used.  Careful 
note  will  be  made  of  joints,  cracks,  re- 
placement areas,  and  general  surface 
conditions.  The  inllucncing  factors  of 
grade,  alignment,  location,  and  main- 
tenance will  be  noted,  and  the  matter 
of  age,  traflic,  and  climatic  conditions 
will  be  given  careful  consideration.  In 
the  case  of  the  reinforcement,  a  study 
will  lie  made  of  the  relative  amounts  of 
longitudinal  and  transverse  steel,  the 
method  of  treating  reinforcement  be- 
fi.re  placing,  as  well  as  its  position  in 
the  slab.  The  form  of  the  reinforce- 
ment will  receive  consideration  to  de- 
termine the  relative  values  of  fabric, 
rods  and  other  types  in  use.  An  effort 
will  be  made  to  determine  the  campara- 
tive  value  of  hard  steel  and  of  mild 
steel  for  reinforcement,  and  the  in- 
Huence  of  continuous  and  non-con- 
tinuous reinforcement.  Wherever  pos- 
sible, the  present  condition  of  the  re- 
inforcement will  be  noted  for  breaks, 
rust,  and  other  features  of  interest. 
Wherever  obtainable,  cost  data  will  be 
secured  covering  the  original  as  well 
as    the   maintenance   investment. 

The  preliminary  work  of  assembling 
data  now  available  will  soon  be  com- 
pleted, at  which  time  the  field  inspec- 
tion will  begin.  The  itinerary  will  be 
made  out  after  further  study,  but  it  is 
proposed  to  pursue  the  investigation  in 
the  Northern  Sections  until  cold 
weather,  when  attention  will  be  turned 
to  the  Southern  locations.  It  is  ex- 
pected that  a  progress  report  will  be 
ready  for  the  annual  meeting  of  the 
Advisory  Board  on  Highway  Research 
to  be  held  at  the  National  Research 
Council  building  December  4th  and  5th 
1924.

ing Co.,  Inc.,  of  San  Francisco,  manufacturers  of  electrical  safety  switches,  with 
the  firm  of  Brown  and  Pengilly,  2114  East  Ninth  street,  Los  Angeles.  The  latter 
concern  manufactures  switch  and  panel  boards.  The  former  company  in  future 
will  manufacture  and  distribute  in  conjunction  with  the  Los  Angeles  firm  all 
switchboards  and  panels  in  the  northern  section  of  California. 


The  panels  and  switchboards  are  well  known 
on  the  Pacific  Coast  and  are  extensively  used  in 
the  Southern  California  section,  where,  company 
officials  point  out,  more  than  seventy-five  per 
cent  of  the  office  buildings,  theatres,  clubs  and 
hotels  erected  within  the  past  few  years  have 
been  equipped  with  the  Browu  and  Pengilly  in- 
stallations. 

Among  the  more  important  installations  re- 
cently completed  In  the  Southern  California  sec- 
tion is  the  Biltmore  Hotel  in  Los  Angeles.  Other 
large  installations  include  Grauman's  Metropolitan

wood. The  Pacific  Finance  Building,  the  Uni- 
versity Club,  Pacific  Mutual   Building  and   other 


notable  structures  have  been  equipped  with  the 
Brown  and  Pengilly  switch  and  panel  boards. 

The  materials  used  in  the  manufacture  of  the 
boards  are  of  the  highest  quality.  G.  E.  Toggle 
switches  and  Johns-Manville  Ebony  boards  are 
used  in  the  manufacture.  The  products  are  in- 
spected and  apnroved  by  the  National  Board  of 
Fire  Underwriters  and  meet  with  the  approval  of

I)  WISH       BUICK    INUISTHY       IS    IM- 
PltOVlNG.    SIKVKY    SHOWS 


The  Statistical  Department  of  the 
Danish  Government  has  just  made 
available  data  regarding  the  domestic 
brick  industry  of  that  country  during 
the  year  1923.  which  have  been  for- 
warded to  the  Department  of  Commerce 
by  Consul  General  Marion  Letcher, 
stationed  at  Copenhagen.  These  sta- 
tistic and  data,  says  Mr.  Letcher,  are 
based  on  returns  from  the  275  brick 
yards  which  were  in  operation  during 
the  year  in  question.  In  1922  there 
were  270  brick  yards  in  operation  in 
Denmark,  while  four  were  closed  down. 
The  proportionately  small  number  of 
brick  yards  whieh  were  not  operating 
during  the  past  two  years  shows  that 
the  brick  industry  in  that  country  has 
been  working  under  more  favorable 
conditions  than  in  previous  years. 
During  the  dull  season  of  the  year  in 
this  industry,  namely  January  to 
March,  inclusive,  about  1800  or  1900 
workers  were  employed  in  the  brick 
yards  and  in  the  really  busy  season, 
from  June  to  September,  from  6300  to 
6900  workers  were  employed.  Of  this 
number  about  300  were  women  and  100 
boys.  B'or  the  purpose  of  comparison 
it  should  be  stated  that  during  the  busy 
season  of  the  year  in  1922  about  HUH) 
workers  less  were  employed  in  the 
brick  industry.

In  Washington.  In  New  York,  and  in 
doubtless  many  other  of  the  older 
cities  of  the  United  States  one  of  the 
most  marked  and  Interesting  phases  of 
home-making  at  present  is  the  sys- 
tematic, one  might  almost  say  profes- 
sional reconstruction  and  modernization 
of  old  homes.  It  Is  not  only  a  salvag- 
ing process  of  economic  value,  but  it  Is 
also  an  absorbing  and  educative  enter- 
prise and  Is  having  no  little  civic 
value  in  that  it  is  restoring  whole  run- 
down neighborhoods,  bringling  back 
real  estate  values,  and  is  at  the  same 
time  preserving  hundreds  of  the 
charming  specimens  of  the  architecture 
of  the  period  preceding  the  civil  war. 

It  is  almost  invariably  found  that 
these  solid  homes  of  our  forefathers 
were  so  well  planned  and  built  that 
any  structural  defects  that  have  devel- 
oped have  been  due  to  the  settling  of 
walls  and  foundations  rather  than  to 
any  weakness  of  material  or  poor 
workmanship.  Recently  a  200-year  old 
house  on  the  New  England  sea-coast 
was  restored.  It  was  found  that  the 
softwood  under-floors,  put  down  so 
long  ago.  were  as  sound  as  the  day 
they  were  cut  and  so  much  hardened 
by  age  that  when  dressed  they  made 
excellent  top-flooring.  Rebuilders  are 
finding  everywhere  that  almost  all  of 
the  lumber  in  these  old  houses,  wheth- 
er they  are  of  frame  or  masonry  con- 
struction is  as  good  as  new,  and  wher- 
ever the  dimensions  permit  it  is  be- 
ing used  in  the  alterations.  When  ad- 
ditional material  is  required  the  reno- 
vator finds  that  he  has  undertaken 
his  work  opportunely  as  lumber  is  now 
40  per  cent  cheaper  than  it  was  in 
1920,  and  even  10  per  cent  cheaper 
than  in  1923.  Other  building  material 
.shows    similar    declines. 

In  the  smaller  and  also  in  the  newer 
towns  and  cities  of  the  country  there 
is  just  no'w  being  developed  a  sys- 
tematic drive  to  rebuild  houses  of  a 
eomparatively  recent  period.  It  is  well 
understood  that  dwelling  architecture 
was  at  a  low  ebb  in  the  last  part  of 
the  nineteenth  century  and  the  first 
part  of  this.  For  nearly  a  quarter  of  a 
century  a  small  home  that  was  not  an 
eye-sore  from  the  day  it  was  built  was 
rare,  and  a  majority  of  the  large  homes 
were  atrocities  perpetrated  on  defense- 
less eyes.  Many  of  these  houses  are 
lumber-built  and  contain  so  much 
sturdy  material  that  to  wreck  them 
is  apt  to  be  sheer  waste.  So  everywhere 


we  hear  of  men.  who,  having  grown 
into  larger  means  and  better  taste,  aro 
examining  their  old  homes  with  a  view 
to  improving  their  architecture  by  al- 
terations and  extending  them  to  meet 
new  requirements.  Thousands  of  peo- 
ple who  hate  to  let  the  old  homes  go 
are  finding  that  simple  external  altera- 
tions and  additions  transform  an  ugly 
edifice  into  a  home  of  beauty  and  that 
the  additional  room  required  may  be 
.secured  at  lower  cost  by  additions  and 
rearrangements  than  by  the  erection 
of  a  new  house. 

In  the  cities,  unfortunately,  hideous 
architecture  appears  to  have  been  ac- 
companied frequently  by  "jerry-build- 
ing" during  the  period  of  architectural 
twilight,  so  that  there  it  does  not  al- 
ways pay  to  reconstruct  a  house  of 
the  first  or  second  generation  back. 
The  good  materials  in  such  structures 
do  not  have  the  "salvage  value  in 
place"  which  is  realized  in  the  build- 
ing of  careful  workmanship.  But  that 
recon.-itruction  and  alteration  are  vast- 
ly improving  the  residence  di.-^tricts  of 
the  ."iinaller  cities  is  evident  to  every 
automobile  tourist.  Incidentally,  there 
is  little  doubt  about  the  influence  of 
thi'  automobile  in  broadening  the  archi- 
tectural appreciation  of  the  average 
citizen.  Along  with  improved  form 
tliere  is  also  an  advance  in  the  use  of 
color.  Our  fathers  and  grandfathers 
seem  to  have  gone  color-blind  about 
the  time  they  lost  their  appreciation  of 
proportion,  so  that  inferior  painting 
of  ill-assorted  colors  was  often  added 
to  shocking  architecture.  The  rebuilt 
houses  are  generally  being  painted  in 
good  taste. 

Rebuilding  or  altering  are  often  ex- 
cellent investments  even  where  not 
necessary  from  the  utilization  point  of 
view.  Selling  values  thus  gained  are 
frequently  out  of  proportion  to  the  ex- 
pense. This  is  particularly  true  of 
lumber-built  houses,  which  are  pe- 
culiarly susceptible  to  alterations,  and 
they  are  a  large  proportion  of  the 
houses  which  are  available  for  renova- 
tion. Building  material  dealers 
throughout  the  country  are  actively 
assisting  their  clients  in  studying  and 
planning  alterations  of  an  improving 
nature,  both  practically  and  esthetical- 
ly,  and  the  local  architect  will  usually 
be  found  to  be  a  very  staunch  support- 
er of  any  departure  that  promises  a 
better  looking  town. 


LOW     RESIT     HOME     LOAN 


The  French  Senate,  in  one  of  its 
last  sessions  before  the  summer  holi- 
day adjournment,  passed  a  law  au- 
thorizing the  city  of  Paris  to  issue  a 
loan  of  300,000,000  francs  for  the  pur- 
pose of  building  low  rental  apartment 
houses,  according  to  the  Bankers'  Trust 
Company. 

This  loan  will  enable  the  city  to 
build  housing  accommodations  for  14,- 
000  individuals  or  small  families,  and 
will  go  some  way  toward  relieving  the 
present  shortage  of  dwellings. 

It  is  estimated,  however,  in  well  in- 
formed circles,  that  there  is  a  real  need 
for  at  least  60,000  small  flats  in  view 
of  the  large  increase  in  the  city's  popu- 
lation, which  is  especially  noticeable 
among  the  working  classes,  many  fami- 
lies who  look  refuge  from  the  devas- 
tated regions  during  the  war  or  im- 
mediately after  the  armistice,  having 
definitely  established  themselves  in 
Paris. 


PUOTECTION 
^VA'^ER 


Stone  must  lie  protected  against  the 
infiltration  of  water.  It  has  been 
found  that  water  absorbed  into  stone 
will  leach  out  certain  soluble  matter 
and  will  promote  decay,  a  sign  of  which 
is  the  efflorescence  sometimes  seen  on 
the  exterior  of  a  portion  of  a  stone 
structure.  It  has  been  found  that  when 
stone  containing  an  appreciable  amount 
of  absorbed  water  is  subjected  to  a 
drying  action,  the  dissolved  matter 
present  in  the  pores  will  crystallize  and 
will  exert  a  force  that  will  hasten  the 
disintegration  of  the  material.  Lime- 
.stone,  sandstone,  and  granite  slabs 
have  been  tested  ami  this  action  has 
lieen  noted.  Protection  of  copings,  cor- 
nices, window  openiiig.s.  and  other  ex- 
liosed  horizon lal  surfaces  sliould  be 
adequate  it  this  action  is  to  be  pre- 
vented.

FEAV    LIMESTONE    BE.A.MS    KEEPING 
STRAIGHT    TEST    SHOWS 


Progressive  sagging  during  long 
continued  application  of  load  has  oc- 
curred in  most  of  the  eighteen  lime- 
stone beams  undergoing  fatigue  tests 
at  the  Bureau  of  Standards.  None  of 
these  beams  have  broken  yet.  The 
greatest  amount  of  bending  in  addi- 
tion to  that  produced  by  the  initial  ap- 
plication of  the  load  is  .005  inches, 
while    the    average   is   .002    inches. 

These  beams  are  28  inches  long  be- 
tween supports  with  a  section  4  inches 
wide  by  l\-i  inch  thick.  They  are  sup- 
ported at  their  ends  and  carry  at  the 
middle  a  load  equal  to  two  thirds  of 
the  load  required  to  break  them.  In 
this  condition  they  have  remained  now 
for  about  16  months  and  will  remain 
for  a  long  time  to  come.  The  load  is  to 
be  increased,  however. 

Many  cases  of  fracture  in  stone 
buildings  have  occurred,  the  bureau 
states,  in  which  the  load  was  not  ex- 
cessive and  in  which  failure  appears 
to  have  resulted  from  long  continued 
application  of  the  load.  Marble  and 
granite  slabs  have  been  known  to  as- 
sume a  permanent  bond  or  warp  under 
a  very  slight  load,  and  incidents  of  this 
warping  in  the  case  of  marble  can  gen- 
erally be  found  in  old  graveyards.  Such 
warping  is  less  common  in  granite,  but 
a  case  has  come  to  the  bureau's  atten- 
tion in  which  some  granite  steps  were 
warped  to  such  an  extent  that  they  had 
to  be  redressed,  as  a  result  of  being  left 
on  the  ground  for  some  time  before 
use. 


t'l.YKE    .«iKAVEY    RE.VI'T'IRMS    ST.WD 
OX    W.VTER-I'OWER    .VCT 


Clyde  L.  Seavey,  president  of  the 
state  railroad  commission,  has  issued 
a  statement  r.atlirming  his  support  of 
the  water  and  power  act  which  will  ap- 
pear as  No.  16  on  the  November  ballot. 
Soavey's  statement  is  in  the  nature  of 
a  reply  to  reports,  believed  to  have 
been  circulated  by  opponents  of  the 
act,  that  he  has  withdrawn  his  support. 

The  statement  follows: 

"Information  has  been  received  from 
several  sources  that  word  is  beiiig 
secretly  passed  that  I  have  withdrawn 
my  support  of  the  water  and  power  act, 
for  which  I  campaigned  two  years  ago. 

"In  order  that  there  may  be  no  mis- 
understanding, I  wish  it  known  that  I 
Iielieve  most  thoroughly  in  the  pro- 
posed legislation.  It  has  seemed  to  me 
that  anyone  thinking  for  the  benefit 
of  California,  with  the  facts  of  the 
present  dry  ye^ir  before  him,  must  see 
the  urgent  necessity  for  the  water  and 
power   act. 

"Water  is  the  life  blood  of  this  stale. 
The  Winter  snows  in  the  mountains  are 
the  Summer  rains  for  our  valley  lands 
and  for  domestic  use. 

"It  is  not  conceivable  that  The 
People  of  California  will  much  longer 
alltiw  private  capital  to  take  tribute 
from  this  water.  The  purposed  act,  by 
means  of  i)ublic  ownership,  provides  a 
safe,  businesslike,  economical  method 
of  storage  and  conservation  and  use  of 
water  not  now  under  private  ownership, 
and  the  secondary  development  of  hy- 
dro-electric  power   therefrom. 

"Under  the  operations  of  this  meas- 
ure millions  of  dollars  annually  may  be 
saved  to  the  water  and  electric  con- 
sumers of  California. 

"The  taxpayer  has  here  a  direct  op- 
portunity to  effect  substantial  economy 
by  voting  'Yes'  for  Number  16  on  the 
ballot    in    the    November    election." 


ELECTRIC  FIXTURE  MANUFACTURE 
IN    1923 


The  Department  of  Commerce  an- 
nounces that,  according  to  the  data 
collected  at  the  biennial  census  of 
manufacturers,  1923.  the  establishments 
engaged  primarily  in  the  manufacture 
of  gas  and  electric  fixtures  (not  includ- 
ing lamps  and  reflectors)  reported 
products  valued  at  $60,649,530,  an  in- 
crease of  41.4  per  cent  as  compared 
with  1921,  the  last  preceding  census 
year. 

In  addition,  gas  and  electric  fixtures 
were  manufactured  to  some  extent  as 
secondary  products  by  establishments 
engaged  primarily  in  other  industries. 
The  value  of  such  commodities  thus 
made  outside  the  industry  proper  in 
1921  was  $4,287,657,  an  amount  equal 
to  10  per  cent  of  the  value  of  products 
reported  for  the  industry  as  classified. 
The  corresponding  value  for  1923  has 
not  yet  been  ascertained  but  will  be 
shown  in  the  final  reports  of  the  pres- 
ent census. 

Of  tlie  360  establishments  reporting 
for  1923,  112  were  located  in  New  York, 
41  in  Illinois,  38  in  Pennsylvania,  33  in 
California,  28  in  Ohio,  14  in  New  iersey, 
13  in  Wisconsin.  10  in  Missouri,  8  in 
Connecticut,  7  each  in  Massachusetts 
and  Minnesota,  6  each  in  Michigan  and 
Washington,  5  each  in  Iowa  and  Mary- 
land, and  the  remaining  17  in  Colorado, 
District  of  Columbia,  Indiana,  Kansas, 
Kentucky,  Nebraska,  Oklahoma,  Oregon, 
Rhode  Island,  and  Tennessee, 


SPEAKERS      ARE    ANNOI  NCED      FOR

Sacramento  committee  on  arrange- 
ments. 


NEW  STEEL   IS   BAFFLER,  FOR 
HARDEST  TOOL. 


A  steel  that  will  withstand  7800  de- 
grees of  heat  for  hours  and  repel  the 
attack  of  the  best  auger  bit. 

A  formula  that  has  attracted  an  of- 
fer  of   $1,000,000. 

This  adds  up  the  24  hour  history  of 
"Don  steel,"  perfected  by  J.  G.  Don- 
aldson, vice-president  of  a  Hamilton 
Safe  company,  and  his  staff  of  experi- 
menters, according  to  word  from  Ham- 
ilton, Ohio. 

A  public  test  of  the  steel  was  made 
before  an  addience  of  newspapermen 
and   bankers. 

Every  attack  and  test  kriown  to  the 
scientific  world  was  placed  on  a  vault 
door   made   from   the   steel. 

A  pressure  of  50O  pounds  from  five 
acetylene  torches  creating  a  heat  of 
7S00  was  turned  on  the  door  but  it 
withstood  the  attack.  The  immense 
heat  did  not  leave  a  mark. 


"CONCRETE        FOR        PERMANENCE" 


Buried  in  concrete  for  14  years,  a 
watch  was  found  recently  in  Los  An- 
geles still  ready  to  tick  away  the  time. 

Willia/m  Garlock  foiind  the  tiine- 
piece  while  tearing  down  an  old  build- 
ing. He  wound  it  up  and  it  keeps 
perfect    time. 

The  watch,  Garlock  learned,  was 
dropped  by  a  cement  worker  when  the 
building  was  constructed.

The  shortage  of  men  in  the  building 
trades  precludes  the  possibility  of 
lower  wage  rates  for  a  number  of 
yelrs  Tcclrding  to  Wm.  J-^Moore  o^ 
the  Provident  American  Bond  and 
Mortgage  Company.  The  only  hope  ot 
lower  building  costs  in  the  immediate 
future  lies  in  cheaper  materials  ana 
increased  labor  efficiency.  To  reduce 
building  wages  materially  the  supply 
of  labor  will  need  to  be  increased  from 
30  to  50  per  cent  and  this  cannot  hap- 
pen except  gradually  over  a  period  of 
years. 

By  unanimous  vote  the  administra- 
tion hoard  of  the  American  Engineers 
Council  agreed  to  insist  on  abolition  of 
the  Department  of  the  Interior  of  the 
Federal  Government  to  be  replaced  by 
a  Department  of  Public  Works.  The 
Department  ot  the  Interior  was  held 
to  be  archaic,  and  the  motion,  as  put 
by  L.  P.  Altord.  of  New  York,  and  for- 
mally adopted,  called  for  an  aggres- 
sive course  in  support  of  the  new  plans. 

Los  Angeles  painters  formerly  work- 
ing on  a  $7  a  day  basis  have  had  their 
wages  adjusted.  Nev/  scales  run  from 
$5  to  ?7  a  day.  Plasterers  formerly 
receiving  from  Jll  to  $12  a  day  are 
now  receiving  from  $1P  to  $12.  Roofers

collected  at  the  biennial  census  of 
manufactures.  1923,  the  establishments 
engaged  in  the  manufacture  of  glass 
reported  products  valued  at  $308,828,914, 
an  increase  of  44.7  per  cent  as  com- 
pared with  $213,471,309  in  1921,  the 
last  preceding  census  year.  The  total

Members  of  the  lathers'  union  in 
Cleveland  recently  voted  in  favor  of

Mr.  Van  Norman  was  one  of  William 
Mulholland's  assistants  in  the  building 
of  the  Los  Angeles  aqueduct,  havlns 
<harge  ot  the  tunnel  work  on  ihat  pro-

liurger  will  return  to  Vienna  to  super- 
intend construction  of  the  temple, 
which  is  to  be  erected  in  the  residential 
section  of  Vienna  at  a  cost  o'.  norc

J.  H.  Walsh  of  New  Orleans  was 
elected  president  of  the  Association  of 
American  Port  Authorities  which  held 
its  thirteenth  annuiil  convention  in 
Los  Angeles.  C.  J.  Colden  of  the  Los 
Angeles  harbor  commission  was  elected 
a  member  of  the  executive  committee. 
The  next  convention  will  be  held  in 
New  York  C:ty  in   1925. 


Legislation  lo  take  away  from  cities 
and  towns  the  riglit  to  make  contracts 
for  new  buildings,  without  having  such 
contracts  approved  by  the  state,  is  to 
lie  introduced  at  the  coming  session  ot 
the  Massachusetts  legislature.  Con- 
versely stated,  the  bill  to  be  offered 
will  provide  that  no  contract  for  the 
<'rection  of  a  school  house  or  other 
public  building,  entered  into  by  a  cily 
or"  town,  shall  bfcome  effective  until  it 
has  been  approved  by  a  state  tribunal. 

There  are  many  indications  that  the 
construction  volume  during  1925  will  be 
less  than  during  ei'her  1924  or  1923  is 
the  op-nion  e^-prebsed  in  the  Monthly 
Digest,  published  by  the  Common  Brick 
Manufacturers  Association.  The  re- 
port states,  however,  that  there  will 
undoubtedly  be  a  fair  normal  volume 
of  construction  as  compared  with  the 
pre-war   years.

(By  t'nrl  L.  Ludnick,  ManniireT,  Diil  lilerK'  Exchansc  lionis  Beaoh,  Calif. 


The  California  Mechanics  Lien  Law 
as  it  stands  today  Is  recognized  as  one 
of  the  best  and  most  simple  Lien  Laws 
of  the  country.  It  has  weathered  and 
withstood  a  storm  of  attacks  and  has 
been  passed  upon  by  the  Supreme 
Court.  While  it  might  be  possible  to 
simplify  It  in  some  respects,  the  gen- 
eral census  of  opinion  is  that  it  should 
not  be  tampered  with. 

Those  individuals  who  seek  to  have 
the  Lien  Law  amended  would,  if  they 
could,  amend  it  so  that  its  terms  and 
requireinents  would  be  applicable  to 
mechanics  only:  or  in  other  words,  the 
general  contractor  and  the  material- 
man would  have  no  lien  rights. 

The  interest  or  risk  that  a  mechanic 
has  or  takes  is  insignificant  compared 
to  the  risl<  taken  by  a  materialman, 
the  mechanic  being  paid  weekly  and 
the  materialman  haying  his  money  tica 
up  until  the  structure  is  almost  com- 
pleted. 

It  has  been  sal.t  that  the  pre5-ii:t 
lien  Law  gives  the  materialman  a 
strong  weapon  of  power,  and  that 
statement  is  true.  But  it  must  also  be 
remembered  that  the  same  law  gives 
the  owner  as  strong  a  power  and  an 
equal  ainount  ot  protection,  to  s.ay 
nothing  of  the  fact  that  the  majority 
of  owners  could  not  build  if  it  were  not 
for  the  present  Lien  Law. 

The  first  Mechanic's  Lien  statute  was 
arranged  in  1791,  at  a  meeting  attend- 
ed by  Thomas  Jefferson  and  James 
Madison,  arising  from  a  desire  to  es- 
tablish, improve  and  build  up  as  speed- 
ily as  possible  the  City  of  Washing- 
ton, and  to  enable  contractors  to  con- 
fidently proceed  with  construction 
work  without  fear  of  fraud  by  the 
owner. 

The  greatest  financial  instrument  in 
the  upbuilding  of  our  communities  has 
been  the  Mechanic's  Lien  Law.  It  pro- 
vides a  quick,  just  and  satisfactory 
basis  for  credit  for  any  owner  of  good 
reputation.  Without  it  the  small  owner 
could  not  construct  a  house  or  other 
building  unless  he  had  every  dollar 
in  the  bank  in  advance  covering  the 
highest  possible  amount  the  building 
could  cost.  The  contractor  and  the  ma- 
terial dealer  would  insist  upon  legal 
protection  with  the  red  tape  of  orders 
upon  loans  and  upon  bank  accounts 
and  acceptances  ot  the  orders  by  the 
mortgagees  and  the  banks.  The  loan 
company  would  be  reluctant  to  make 
a  building  loan  in  advance  of  comple- 
tion because  the  small  owner  would 
have  no  means  of  getting  credit  for 
additional  material  in  case  it  costs 
more  than  anticipated  to  complete  the 
house.  In  fact,  building  permits  would 
probably  be  reduced  one-fourth  to  one- 
half  below  present  figures. 

One  of  the  good  effects  of  the  Me- 
chanic's Lien  Law  is  that  it  makes  it 
urgent  for  the  owner  to  insist  upon 
dealing  only  with  reputable,  high-class 
contractors,  because  bills  for  constriic- 
tion  labor  and  construction  material 
can  be  filed  against  the  property  where 
used,  and  made  a  lien  and  foreclosed 
the  same  as  a  mortgage,  if  those  bills 
are  not  paid  by  the  contractor,  even 
though  you  have  previously  paid  the 
contractor  in   full. 

As   it  is   now,   the  loan  company  will 


advance  money  before  completion, 
knowing  that  the  owner  can  obtain 
credit  on  the  basis  of  the  security  that 
his  equit.v  in  the  property  offers 
through  lien  rights.  A  comparatively 
poor  man  can,  therefore,  build  tor  him- 
self a  home  representing  a  value  ot 
much  more  than  the  lot  and  the  cash 
he  has,  because  he  can  get  a  building 
loan  in  advance. 

P.eports  are  being  circulated  to  the 
effect  that  the  State  Builders'  Exchange 
is  promoting  an  attack  on  the  present 
Ijien  Law  and  is  seeking  to  have  it 
amended. 

In  order  to  oft-set  this  rumor  beyond 
a  doubt,  the  Builders'  Exchange  of 
Long  Beach  addressed  all  ot  the  Build- 
ers' Exchanges  in  the  State  of  Califor- 
nia relative  to  their  attitude  on  amend- 
ing the  present  Lien  Law,  and  without 
exception  the  replies  received  ex- 
pressed a  desire  to  leave  the  Lien  Law 
as  it  stands   today. 

The  Builders'  Exchange  of  Los  An- 
geles says:  "  .  .  .  as  a  body,  we  do 
not  favor  a  change  in  the  present 
Law." 

The  Builders'  Exchange  of  Fresno 
states:  "...  after  full  discussion, 
the  Board  (of  Directors)  was  unani- 
mous that  this  Exchange  is  against 
any  change  in  the  present  Law." 

The  San  Diego  Builders'  Exchange 
replies.  "...  the  Lien  Law  propo- 
sition is  quite  a  live  topic  with  the 
Materialmen's  Association,  the  Manu- 
facturers' &  Employers'  Association 
and  the  Builders'  Exchange,  and  our 
opinion  is  that  all  three  organizations 
are  against  any  amendment  or  the  ab- 
rogation  of  the   present  Lien  Law." 

The  Builders'  Exchange  ot  Stockton 
states,  "...  we  can  give  no  def- 
inite knowledge  as  to  any  change  in 
the  Lien  Law  or  the  instigators  of 
same." 

W.  H.  George,  President  of  the 
Builders'  Exchange  of  San  Francisco, 
states,  "...  abiding  by  the  will 
ot  the  majority  my  position  as  Presi- 
dent of  our  Exchange  is  to  let  the  Lien 
Law  alone,  at  least  until  we  can  find 
a    better   substitute." 

The  Builders'  Exchange  of  Oakland 
replies,  "...  there  is  no  cause  to 
worry  about  anyone  disturbing  the 
present  Lien  Law." 

The  California  Retail  Lumberman's 
Association  of  San  Francisco,  states, 
"...  it  is  our  conviction  that  it 
the  Mechanic's  Lien  Law  was  abrogat- 
ed, building  operations  would  be  very 
much   restricted." 

The  Millwork  Institute  of  California 
replies,  "...  our  Institute  has 
gone  on  record  opposing  any  changes 
whatsoever." 

The  Executive  Board  of  the  Builders' 
Exchange  of  Long  Beach  has  passed 
the  following  resolution,  "Resolved 
that  the  members  of  the  Exchange  be 
advised  that  the  Executive  Board  of 
the  Exchange,  believing  that  the  ma- 
jority of  the  members  ot  the  Exchange 
are  not  in  favor  of  any  amendment  to 
the  Lien  Law,  do  hereby  put  them- 
selves on  record  as  being  opposed  to 
any  changes  in  the  present  Lien  Law 
until  such  time  as  the  majority  of  the 
membership  instructs  them  to  the  con- 
trary." (Cont.  on  Page  10)

American    Construction    Council     Issues 
Semi-Annual    Statement 


The  semi-annual  statement  of  the 
American  Construction  Council  cover- 
ing the  present  situation  as  regards  the 
construction  industry  is  made  public 
through  its  President,  Franltlin  D. 
Roosevelt.  The  statement  is  as  fol- 
lows: 

"In  malcing  public  its  semi-annual 
review  of  conditions  affecting  the 
construction  industry  nationally,  the 
American  Construction  Council  finds  as 
the  outstanding  feature  at  this  time  a 
growing  insistence  on  the  part  of  the 
building-investment  and  home-owning 
public  for  better  quality  of  construc- 
tion and  greater  responsibility  in 
financing  and  in  other  phases  of  build- 
ing operations. 

"This  increasing  demand  for  better 
building,  a  movement  which  the  Coun- 
cil sponsored  on  a  national  scale  last 
Spring,  is  accompanied  by  a  general 
undertone  of  increasing  confidence  as  to 
greater  stability  in  the  construction 
industry  throughout  the  country  as  a 
whole.  While  it  is  not  possible  to  say 
that  construction  is  actually  on  a 
stable  basis,  a  more  favorable  trend 
than  has  existed  for  the  past  several 
years  is  indicated  in  this  regard  both 
by  the  volume  of  operations  and  by 
tlie  type  of  new  worl<  coming  out. 

"There  has  not  been  the  marked 
seasonal  decline  appearing  so  notice- 
ably in  the  past  with  the  coming  of 
the  Fall  and  Winter  months.  On  the 
contrary  the  amount  of  new  worlc  con- 
tracted for  and  begun  has  held  up  for 
this  time  of  the  year  unusually  well. 
This  shows  a  very  favorable  response 
on  the  part  of  the  public  to  the  gen- 
eral movement  to  promote  the  schedul- 
ing of  building  operations  so  as  to  talte 
advantage  of  the  relative  slack  in  ma- 
terials and  labor  during  the  Fall  and 
Winter  months,  which  has  been  fre- 
quently urged  by  the  Council,  the  Fed- 
eral Department  of  Commerce,  the 
Building  Congresses  in  various  com- 
munities, and  others.  Undoubtedly  the 
slowing  down  of  speculative  building, 
which  curtailment  the  Council  has 
urged  both  as  a  steadying  infiuence  in 
construction  activities  and  as  a  phase 
of  better  building  in  general,  has  done 
much   to   make   this  possible. 

"Even  a  more  significant  fact  stands 
out  as  to  the  present  type  of  building 
operations.  There  is  a  larger  ratio  of 
commercial  and  industrial  structures 
contracted  for  than  has  been  seen  for 
some  time,  showing  a  tendency  to- 
wards greater  confidence  on  the  part 
of  business  generally  and  particularly 
as  to  its  willingness  to  go  ahead  with 
investment  in  buildings  for  its  own 
use.  Residential  construction  is  still 
going  forward  in  large  volume  in  some 
districts  but  it  appears  to  be  of  a  better 
average  type  in  most  sections  than  has 
recently  existed.  There  has  been  a 
small  recession  in  costs.  Outlying  dis- 
tricts and  the  smaller  communities  are 
sharing  more  largely  in  the  work  now 
under  way  than  they  have  for  some 
time  in  the  past,  another  indication  of 
the  beneficial  results  being  secured 
through  the  steadying  and  bettering  of 
operations    in    the    industry. 

"The  impetus  already  given  to  the 
movement  fur  better  building  in  gen- 
eral and  against  the  purely  speculative 
and  questionable  type  of  housing  and 
other  undesirable  projects  in  particular 
is  being  given  permanent  direction 
:hrough  the  Council's  special  committee 
nn  better  building  whose  primary  pur- 
pose is  to  bring  the  public  to  a  realiza- 
tion of  the  real  business  of  building 
and  a  general  adoption  of  the  princi- 
ples of  better  building  in  all  of  its 
phases.      While    the    Council    is    there- 


fore happy  to  report  that  the  favorable 
trend  already  noted  as  being  under 
way  with  regard  to  the  construction 
of  both  business  structures  and  homes 
augurs  well  for  the  country  at  large, 
it  is  imperative  to  note  that  the  secur- 
ing of  the  desirable  ends  to  be  gained 
depends  upon  an  intelligent  and  wide- 
spread appreciation  and  application  of 
the  necessary  correctives. 

"A  similar  need  for  a  better  concep- 
tion and  use  of  the  fundamental  prin- 
ciples and  processes  of  construction  is 
to  be  seen  also  in  the  field  of  engineer- 
ing construction  in  the  larger  sense,  in 
which  fall  such  types  of  work  as  power 
plants  and  similar  field  projects,  high- 
way construction,  public  carriers  and 
the  like.  In  the  promotion  and  prose- 
cution of  such  projects  account  must 
be  taken  of  all  the  elements  in  con- 
struction— from  financing,  design  and 
engineering  on  through  management, 
materials  and  labor — that  enter  into 
the  problem  as  it  affects  building  con- 
struction itself  as  already  pointed  out 
by  the  Council  last  Spring. 

"In  this  connection  it  seems  advisa- 
ble to  call  attention  to  the  importance 
of  adequate  and  proper  construction  of 
national  highways  in  the  development 
of  the  industry  and  commerce  of  the 
country.  With  the  constantly  increas- 
ing scoi)e  and  complexity  of  transporta- 
tion for  both  business  and  pleasure 
purposes,  the  necessity  for  adequate 
and  proper  highways  of  the  right  type 
is  becoming  more  and  more  urgent  as 
an  economic  problem  of  first  magni- 
tude for  the  country  at  large. 

"Equally  important  is  the  proper 
conservation  of  the  timber  resources 
of  the  nation.  This  question  enters 
with  regard  both  to  better  building 
and  efficient  conduct  of  construction 
generally  and  to  the  permanent  con- 
tinuance of  an  adeciuate  -supply  nf 
lumber  of  good  quality.  Constructive 
attention  should  therefore  be  given  to 
the  demands  being  made  upon  the 
nation's  timber  resources  and  the  mo.st 
efficient  utilization  of  lumber  in  the 
actual  work  of  construction,  and  the 
beneficial  measures  being  tak^n  toward 
this  end  by  the  lumber  industry  of  the 
country  should  receive  general  supp-ul. 
"The  above  constitute  the  Council's 
general  survey  of  conditions  to  which 
it  desires  to  call  the  attention  of  ihe 
public  at  this  time.  The  Council 
recommends  in  viewing  the  situation  as 
a  whole  that  the  following  specific 
measures  be  borne  in  mind  by  all  those 
interested  in  any  way  in  construction 
as  it  relates  to  both  buildings  and  en- 
gineering proje'  ts: 

1.  "That  all  who  have  to  do  with 
construction — from  financing;  anc  de- 
sign on  through  materials,  management 
and  labor^take  specific  steps  not  only 
in  their  own  lines  as  such  I^ut  in  co- 
operation with  the  otiier  elements  of 
the  industry  to  further  eradicate,  as 
already  recommended  by  the  Council, 
the  evils  arising  out  of  the  large  per- 
centage of  construction  of  inferior 
(luality  and  unsound  flnanoi.uig.  In  ad- 
dition to  making  a  general  survey  of 
conditions  through  its  general  com- 
mittee on  better  building  and  recom- 
mending correctives  where  deemed 
necessary,  the  Council  has  placed  us 
resources  in  this  entire  worlc  at  the 
disposal  of  the  public. 

2.  "That  with  the  approacii  of  the 
Fall  and  Winter  season  all  who  coi:- 
template  construction  of  anv  kind 
give  serious  consideration  to  the 
scheduling  of  such  work  so  far  as  i.os- 
sible  at  an  early  date  in  order  to  take 
advantage  of  the  relative  slack  in  de- 
mand for  materials  and  labor  during 
the  winter  months.  This  wil;  not  only 
facilitate  the  progress  of  construction 
during  the   winter  season  but   will  also 


assist  in  getting  ready  for  work  later 
and  thus  help  in  maintaining  con- 
struction activities  on  a  more  even 
keel.  The  carrying  on  of  maintenance 
and  repair  work  during  the  so-calied 
slack  season,  as  repeatedly  urged  by 
the  Council,  will  also  do  much  to  h<!p 
in  steadying  construction  activities 
and  at  the  same  time  lengthen  tbi 
working  period  thus  extending  the  ac- 
tive season  without  overlapping  cr  con- 
gestion. Custom,  not  climate,  is  ina'n- 
ly  responsible  for  seasonal  idleness  in 
the  construction  industcy.  as  pointed 
out  by  the  Committee  on  Seasonal 
Operation  in  the  Construction  Indus- 
tries of  the  President's  Conference  on 
Unemployment.  The  Council  supports- 
the  various  constructive  recommenda- 
tions of  this  Committee.  Undoubtedly 
the  building  public  is  coming  to  an  in- 
creasing recognition  of  the  advantages 
<if  all-year  construction  but  there  still 
exxists  the  need  for  asatrecdnignnicf. 
exists  the  need  for  ascertaining  th. 
facts  as  to  specific  procedure  and  for 
haviup  such  facts  readily  available. 

3.  ^That  the  Building  Congresses  in 
various  communities  be  encouraged  an<l 
extended  and  new  one  be  organized 
wherever  possible.  These  Congresses 
represent  the  same  idea  for  their  re- 
spective localities  that  the  Council 
does  for  the  construction  industry 
nationally  and  as  such  are  the  agencies 
I  bat  come  before  the  public  in  Ihesi' 
localities  for  the  purpose  of  organiz- 
ing and  administering  the  various  ac- 
tivities in  their  communit.v  aspects.  It 
is  the  opinion  of  the  Council  that  these 
lociil  get-together  associations  are  es- 
sential in  the  work  of  bringing  condi- 
tions in  the  industry  to  the  attention 
of  the  public  and  securing  the  adoption 
in  actual  practice  of  the  measure  need- 
ed to  remedy  undesirable  conditions. 
The  Council  therefore  supports  the 
local  Congresses  as  a  part  of  the  gen- 
eral movement  to  promote  responsibil- 
ity and  intelligent  co-operation  on  the 
part  of  all  persons  interested  in  the 
construction  and  thereby  secure  the 
Ijasis  for  insuring  very  practical  bene- 
fits to  the  industry  generally  and  to 
th(=    public." 

In  commenting  upon  the  Council's 
recently  concluded  meeting,  at  which 
this  statement  was  formulated,  as  the 
largest  and  most  successful  that  the 
Council  has  yet  held  Mr.  Roosevelt 
said.  "We  have  given  to  the  public 
thi-ough  the  newspapers  of  the  coun- 
try every  six  months  a  very  carefully 
and  cautiously  prepared  statement 
pointing  out  marked  tendencies.  We 
have  pointed  out  these  tendencies  to 
the  public  because  in  the  last  analysis 
they  come  from  the  public  and  the 
.sufferers  would  be  the  public.  We  are 
working  not  only  for  the  construction 
industry  but  fo-  the  public  of  the 
United  States  in  order  to  have  them 
undtrsland  construction.  appreciate 
their  mutual  problems  affecting  it,  in- 
crease efficiency,  and  malve  for  the  gen- 
eral welfare  and  progress  of  the 
country." 

In  addition  to  the  meetings  heM 
twice  a  year  to  exchange  ideas  and 
through  addresses  and  otherwise  briny 
out  the  existing  problems  of  construc- 
tion and  as  a  result  of  these  meetings 
issue  a  statement  to  the  public,  Mr. 
Roosevelt  called  attention  to  the  great 
influence  the  Council  has  had  as  tho 
national  body  interested  in  bringing 
together  all  elements  of  the  construc- 
tion industry  in  order  to  attack  those 
phases  of  bad  functioning  which  can 
be  handled  only  through  broad  surveys 
of  conditions  and  promotion  of  remedial 
measures  in  their  national  phase.  The 
Council  for  example  has  given  recogni- 
tion to  the  community  of  interest  be- 
tween the  national  body  and  com- 
munity groups  by  taking  up  for  very 
definite  action  the  promotion  of  com- 
munity      apprenticeship     commissions,

The  Supreme  Court  of  California  has 
denied  the  writ  of  mandate  sought  by 
lOast  Bay  Municipal  I'tilities  District  to 
compel  the  Koailroad  Commission  to 
assume  jurisdiction  and  to  make  a 
valuation  of  the  properties  of  East  Bay 
Water  Company  in  condemnation  pro- 
ceedings instituted  by  East  Bay  Muni- 
cipal Utilities  District. 

The  Supreme  Court  pointed  out  in  its 
decision  that  the  Public  Utilities  Act 
(Section  47)  goes  beyond  the  provisions 
of  Section  23-A  of  Article  XII  of  the 
California  State  Constitution,  which 
now  provides  that  the  Uailroad  Com- 
mission, upon  authority  of  the  Legis- 
lature shall  fix  condemnation  valua- 
tion for  various  political  subdivisions. 
Tile  Constitution  does  not  include 
iiiunicipal  utilities  districts  in  the  list 
of  these  political  subdivisions,  but  the 
Public  Utilities  Act  includes  municipal 
utilities  districts  and  all  political  sub- 
divisions. 

The  action  of  the  Supreme  Court  up- 
holds the  Railroad  Commission  in 
denving  the  application  of  the  East 
Bay  Municipal  Utilities  District  for 
tile  Commission  to  fix  the  condemnda- 
tion  value  of  the  East  Bay  Water  Com- 
pany's property  until  the  constitution- 
ality of  such  action  by  the  Commission 
had  been  decided  by  the  Supreme  Court. 
Si-rious  doubts  as  to  the  jurisdiction  of 
ihe  Commission  were  raised  at  the 
hearing  before  the  Commission  on  the 
Older  to  show  cause  why  the  Commis- 
sion should  not  proceed  to  make  such 
a   valuation. 

This  doubt  a3  to  the  Jurisdiction  of 
the  Railroad  Cjmmission  had  already 
found  expression  in  a  proposed  amend- 
ment to  the  State  constitution  curing 
the  defect  in  Section  23-A  of  Article 
XII  of  the  State  constitution,  by  in- 
cluding municipal  utilities  districts  and 
all  political  subdivisions,  in  the  list 
over  which  this  Railroad  Commission 
will  have  jurisdiction  to  fix  condemna- 
tion valuations. 

This  constitutional  amendment  will 
be  voted  upon  at  the  November  elec- 
tion, and  if  it  should  carry  the  Rail- 
road Commission  will  then  be  em- 
powered to  entertain  the  application  of 
the  East  Bay  Municipal  Utilities  Dis- 
trict to  fix  the  condemnation  value  of 
East  Bay  Water  Companj-'s  property,  or 
any  other  public  utility's  property, 
which  the  district  may  seek  to  con- 
demn   and    take   over.

Construction   Cost   Peak   Reached 

Labor   Due   to   Take    Pay   Decrease 


from  A.  W.  Uicki.<>ii,     Kxreull«'     Sei-rtM 
n'n.    of    UuildiiiK    'I*radpa    Enipluyrrii 


The  Investment  bankers  of  the 
United  States  recently  meeting  In 
Cleveland  concurred  in  a  report  sub- 
mitted to  the  convention  that  the  peak 
of  building  costs  had  been  reached  and 
that  beginning  at  this  time  costs  would 
start  on  a  downward  trend.  This  re- 
port accepted  by  a  group  of  men  play- 
ing an  important  part  in  the  construc- 
tion Industry  is  welcome  news  to  those 
who  have  l>een  fearful  lest  the  high 
costs,  which  have  prevailed  for  some 
time,  would  bring  about  a  serious  de- 
pression in  the  second  largest  industry 
of  the  country,  which  in  turn  would 
have  a  decided  bearing  on  business 
generally. 

A  careful  survey  of  conditions  in  the 
industry  reveals  some  facts  which  are 
not  altogether  in  agreehient  with  the 
conclusions  reached  by  the  bankers  at 
their  recent  meeting.  The  principle 
point  to  be  considered  in  this  connec- 
tion   is    labor   costs. 

Most  authorities  are  agreed  that  the 
wage  element  comprises  the  major  part 
of  building  costs  and  some  economists 
place  this  as  high  as  75  per  cent.  It 
becomes  obvious  at  once  that  if  the 
peak  in  construction  costs  has  been 
reached  that  labor  is  due  shortly  to 
take   a  decrease   in  pay. 

There  is  no  question  in  the  minds  of 
those  who  have  been  following  develop- 
ments during  the  past  tew  years  that 
labor  in  tlie  building  trades  is  out  of 
line  with  all  of  the  other  industries. 
This  condition  has  been  brought  about 
by  two  important  factors,  namely — the 
unprecedented  demand  for  skilled  and 
unskilled  labor  on  account  of  the 
building  boom  of  the  last  two  or  three 
years,  and  the  shortage  of  man-power 
caused  by  the  scarcity  of  apprentices. 

The  only  possible  way  by  which 
labor  may  be  induced  to  take  a  cut 
within  the  next  few  years  will  be 
through  a  falling  oft  in  the  demand  for 
labor,  or  in  other  words  a  severe  de- 
pression in  the  industry  which  at  this 
time  is  very  remote.  The  shortage  in 
some  of  the  skilled  trades  has  been 
placed  as  high  as  50  per  cent  and  this 
is  rapidly  increasing  in  spite  of  the 
fact  that  more  and  more,  attention  is 
being  paid  to  the  question  of  appren- 
ticeship training  in  the  building  trades. 
It  is  estimated  that  approximately  35,- 
000    skilled    mechanics    are    lost    to    the 


industry  each  year  through  death,  re- 
tirement and  other  means,  while  the 
new  recuits  do  not  begin  to  offset  that 
enormous  loss  of  man-power. 

In  an  address  before  the  American 
Construction  Council  at  the  annual 
meeting  in  New  York  recently,  a  rep- 
resentative of  the  Federal  Board  for 
Vocational  Education  made  the  state- 
ment that  during  last  year  approxi- 
mately 5000  boys  were  enrolled  in  trade 
preparator.v  classes,  conducted  under 
the  provisions  of  the  Smith-Hughes  Act, 
which  provides  for  federal  aid.  There 
are  of  course  schools  for  the  training 
of  apprentices,  which  have  no  connec- 
tion with  the  Federal  Board  for  Voco- 
tional  Education,  and  there  are  ap- 
prentices learning  the  trades  who  are 
not  attending  classes  of  any  kind. 
Notwithstanding  that  considerable  ad- 
vancement has  been  made  recently  in 
the  apprenticeship  training  movement, 
the  fact  remains  that  there  are  not 
enough  boys  learning  trades  to  have 
any  very  decided  bearing  on  the  en- 
tire labor  situation. 

As  stated  above,  labor  in  the  build- 
ing trades  has  enjoyed  an  era  of  pros- 
perity and  high  wages,  and  any  at- 
tempt on  the  part  of  employers  to  re- 
duce wages  is  going  to  result  in  vigor- 
ous opposition.  On  the  other  hand  a 
slackening  in  building  operations  with 
a  subsequent  decrease  in  the  demand 
for  labor,  while  possibly  not  resulting 
in  decreased  wage  rates  would  un- 
doubtedly mean  an  increased  efficiency 
which  would  tend  to  reduce  costs. 

The  only  other  possible  way  in  which 
building  costs  may  be  reduced  is 
through  a  sharp  reduction  in  material 
prices,  which  is  decidedlj'  remote  at 
this  time.  The  material  market  seems 
to  be  on  a  fairly  stable  basis  and  has 
been  for  the  past  several  months.  Since 
September,  ia23,  the  average  range  of 
material  prices  has  been  within  the 
compass  of  5  per  cent,  as  compared 
with  the  first  nine  months  of  1923, 
when  the  range  of  prices  was  almost 
20  per  cent. 

Taking  all  of  the  above  facts  into 
consideration  it  becomes  apparent  that 
if  the  present  building  activity  con- 
tinues into  next  year,  and  material 
prices  remain  at  their  present  level, 
there  will  be  no  reduction  in  building 
costs   for  some  time  to  come.

and  3rd. 

Without  an  aggressive  reforestation 
policy  the  forestry  resources  of  the 
west  through  natural  consumption  and 
the  ravages  of  fire  will  be  depleted 
within  a  comparatively  short  time,  it  is 
declared.  Translated  (nto  general 
terms  of  the  economic  life  of  the  west 
this  will  mean,  according  to  Chamber 
leaders,  a  radical  curtailment  of  water 
available  for  irrigation  and  power,  the 
loss  of  the  vast  ranges  now  used  for 
live  stock  grazing,  increased  cost  of 
construction,  especially  home-building, 
and  the  decreased  purchasing  power  of 
the  west  as  a  result  of  the  general 
effect  from   these  various  causes. 

Major  David  T.  Mason,  a  forest  en- 
gineer of  national  reputation  of  Port- 
land, who  is  making  a  careful  survey 
Df  the  forestry  problem  of  the  West, 
will  deliver  the  opening  address  on  this 
subject.  This  will  be  followed  by  short 
discussions  by  a  number  of  prominent 
men  whose  names  have  been  long  iden- 
tified with   the  forestry  problem. 

Among  those  included  in  the  plans 
for  this  part  of  the  program  are 
Colonel  Wm.  B.  Greeley,  chief  of  the 
United  States  Forestry  Service,  Wash- 
ington, D.  C;  George  S.  Long,  chair-

Charging    Items    on    Cost    Plus    Job 


A     CURRENT    JOKE 

A  chap  was  arrested  for  assault  and 
battery  and  brought  before  the  judge. 

.Judge  to  prisoner:  "What  is  your 
name,  your  occupation  and  what  are 
you  charged  with?" 

Prisoner:  "My  name  is  Sparks,  i 
am  an  electrician  and  I  am  charged 
with  battery."  .  . 

Judge  (after  recovering  his  equilib- 
rium): "Officer,  put  this  guy  in  a  dry 
cell."— Georgia  Highways. 


The  uniformity  of  expressed  opinion 
regarding  current  practice  in  distrib- 
uting charges  on  cost  plus  operations 
is  an  indication  that  precedents  have 
lieen  established  which  will  be  valu- 
able as  a  guide  to  those  new  to  the 
cost  plus  field.  Several  well  Itnown 
builders  have  volunteered  information 
in  response  to  the  query  of  a  sub- 
scriber which  appeared  in  these  pages 
last  week. 

A  summary  of  current  practice  is 
as  follows:  The  use  of  major  equip- 
ment on  a  cost  plus  job  is  directly 
chargeable  to  the  owner  in  one  of 
three  ways,  and  should  be  defined 
clearly  in  the  contract.  By  charging 
depreciation  at  so  much  per  diem  for 
the  length  of  time  the  equipment  is 
,,n  the  job,  whether  in  use  or  not,  the 
contractor  secures  proper  compensa- 
tion for  the  services  of  the  machinery; 
and  by  thus  putting  his  equipment  on 
the  payroll  he  renders  an  itemized  ac- 
count to  the  owner,  who  knows  how 
this  charge  is  distributed.  Another 
method  of  securing  the  same  result  is 
to  charge  a  percentage  on  valuation 
to  cover  depreciation  of  each  item  of 
equipment  placed  on  the  operation. 
Current  practice  varies  as  to  the 
amount  chargeable,  depending  on  the 
length  of  time  the  job  is  to  run,  the 
use  to  which  equipment  is  to  be  put, 
and  other  factors.  For  a  job  running 
from  six  months  to  a  year,  the  rate  of 
depreciation  runs  around  20  per  cent, 
varying  from  15  to  25  per  cent  in 
some   cases. 

The  lump  sum  method  of  charging 
for  equipment  sometimes  is  used,  but 
does  not  furnish  the  owner  satisfactory 
information  as  to  the  distribution  of 
the    charge,    and    encourages    the    con- 


tractor to  guess  at  many  items.  The 
per  diem  method  is  recognized  by 
many  as  being  the  best  system  when 
the  length  of  time  needed  to  complete 
a  job  is  not  easily  determined.  The. 
value  and  the  life  of  a  piece  of  equip- 
ment is  estimated,  and  the  daily  de- 
preciation and  rental  charge  is  figured 
from  this  estimate.  All  repairs  are 
chargeable  to  the  owner,  who  is  en- 
titled to  have  equipment  placed  on  the 
job  in  first-class  shape,  while  the  con- 
tractor is  entitled  to  have  it  in  good 
running  order  when  removed.  Suffi- 
cient charges  for  small  tools  which 
are  liable  to  be  lost  or  worn  out  dur- 
ing the  life  of  a  job  are  customarily 
paid  for  by  the  owner. 

Job  overhead  (timekeeper's  wages, 
etc.)  is  directly  chargeable  to  the 
owner.  Office  overhead  is  paid  for  out 
of  the  fee  charged  by  the  contractor 
unless  special  provision  for  such  pay- 
ment is  made.  A  contractor  must 
have  accurate  information  as  to  his 
overhead  costs  in  either  case.  A  con- 
tractor who  pays  overhead  out  of  his 
fee  must  charge  a  proportionately 
larger  fee,  or  percentage.  Liability 
insurance  is  always  a  direct  charge, 
and  should  be  paid  by  the  owner. 

Again,  commentors  are  agreed  that 
charges  for  workmen's  transportation 
.submitted  by  the  union  is  directly 
chargeable  to  the  owner  if  such  charge 
is  in  accordance  with  a  specific  agree- 
ment entered  into  between  the  con- 
tractor's association  and  the  union. 
Such  money  should  be  paid  to  the  men. 
If  it  is  a  special  charge  levied  outside 
of  an  accepted  agreement  it  does  not 
come  under  the  head  of  costs  at  all, 
but  is  more  in  the  nature  of  graft  and 
should  not  be  paid  by  either  party  con- 
cerned.— American    Contractor.

SALTS  I.\   OIL  SMOKE  CAISES  SLATE 
ROOF     INJURY 


Salts  contained  in  the  soot  from  an 
oil  burner  were  found  by  the  Bureau 
of  Standards  of  the  Department  of 
Commerce  to  be  the  cause  of  extensive 
decay  in  the  slate  roof  of  the  building 
in  which  the  burner  was  housed.  These 
salts,  being  soluble  in  water,  were 
leached  into  the  slate  by  the  rains  and 
were  recrystalized  in  dry  weather.  The 
formation  of  the  crystals   tends  to  pry 


the  particles  of  slate  apart  and  pro- 
duces an  effect  similar  to  frost  action 
only  much  more  severe.  The  disinte- 
gration of  the  slate  was  first  noticed 
about  six  years  ago  and  in  some  parts 
of  the  roof  it  has  progressed  to  the 
danger  point.  It  manifests  itself  only 
on  the  interior  and  is  invisible  from 
the  outside.  The  process  begins  at  the 
edge  of  the  shingles  and  progresses 
along  the  direction  of  the  cleavage, 
reducing  the  slate  to  powder.

With  regard  to  highway  illumination, 
it  was  reported  that  the  Pacific  states 
are  making  rapid  progress.  California 
is  iilanning  a  highway  lighting  sys- 
t'-TTi  for  the  route  between  I./os  Angeles 
ati'i  S,in  Francisco;  while  legislation  is 
al.'  ut  to  be  introduced  in  Washington 
and  Oregon  providing  for  illumination 
of  highways  to  increase  safety.  Cali- 
fs.rnia's  plan,  it  was  explained,  has  for 
its  aim  the  diversion  of  much  commer- 
cial truck  traffic  from  day  to  night. 
Michigan,  which,  three  years  ago.  had 
no  highway  illuminations,  leads  the 
other  states   in    this   respect    today. 

The  United  States  bureau  of  public 
roads,  it  was  stated  by  E.  W.  James 
of  the  bureau,  is  recommendeing  that 
consideration  be  given  to  Jurther  de- 
vilopment  of  this  subject.  Standards 
.•f  lighting,  both  for  the  volume  of 
light  and  from  the  standpoint  of  ex- 
pense, were  discussed,  as  it  was 
recognized  that  there  are  certain  rural 
roads  which  carry  as  great  valume  of 
traffic  as  city  streets  and  should  be 
lighted,  such  action  will  take  time  to 
develop. 

Rapid  growth  of  motor  traffic  has 
placed  before  highway  officials  of  the 
various  states  a  hugh  problem  to  proj 
vide  for  the  reconstruction  of  obsolel?e 
types  of  "high  crown"  roads,  to  obtain 
adequate  rights  of  way  for  future  ex- 
pansion, to  improve  the  safeguards  at 
curves  and  grades,  to  eliminate  grade 
crossings  and  one-way  bridges,  and  to 
increase  the  maximum  carrying  ca- 
pacity of  exisling  roads,  the  discus- 
sion revealed.

With  more  than  9.000,000  acres  of 
cut-over  timberland  now  on  the  hands 
of  Pacific  Coast  logging  companies,  the 
industry  is  finally  beginning  exhaust-

both  present  and  future.  So  declared 
E.  T.  .\llen,  forest  economist  of  the 
Western  Forestry  and  Conservation

sued the  counciTs  ca.Iendar  for  1925. 
The  calendar  surpasses  any  of  the 
councirs  past  productions  inasmuch  as 
it  is  higblv  colored  and  has  a  safety 
picture  story  for  each  of  the  twelve 
months.  On  the  reverse  side  of  each 
sheet  is  printed  information  on  general 
accident  prevention.  Firms  interested 
in  securing  any  number  of  the  calen- 
dars should  communicate  direct  with 
the    council    headquarters    in    Chicago. 


The  gigantic  program  for  municipal 
improvement  of  Oakland  and  the  East 
Bay  cities  is  reflected  in  a  report  of 
the  Oakland  Chamber  of  Commerce 
which  shows  thai  more  than  $29,000,000 
worth  of  municipal  improvements  are 
now  under  way  or  projected  in  the  dis- 
trict. 

School  building  programs  total  $14.- 
rtOO.OOO  while  streets,  sewers  and  the 
iStuary    tube    total    $10,235,000. 

More  than  $12,000,000  worth  of  busi- 
ness property  improvements  will  be 
rompleted  or  begun  during  the  cur- 
rent year  within  six  blocks  of  Four- 
teenth and  Broadway. 


Of  the  4.069.830  short  Ions  of  lime 
sold  in  the  United  States  in  1923.  it  is 
said  that  2,131.533  tons  were  used  in 
the  construction  industry.  This  meant 
an  expenditure  of  at  least  $22,521,628. 
Part  of  this  tonnage.  1.219,515  short 
tons,  was  reported  as  hydrated  lime.

BlILUKHS'    BOND    RULING 


A  court  decision  of  special  interest 
to  builders,  contractors  and  surety 
companies  is  reported  from  Los  An- 
geles. 

That  minor  changes  in  plans  and 
specifications  for  the  construction  of 
a  building  do  not  void  the  bond  of 
a  contractor,  where  the  bond  is  issued 
by  a  surety  company,  is  held  by  Judge 
Ira  F.  ThomiiKon  of  the  Superior  Court 
oC  Log  Angeles  County  in  a  decision  in 
a  long  drawn  out  suit.  The  action  was 
that  of  11.  D.  Bownrian,  owner  of  the 
Westinghouse  building,  against  Earl  B. 
Newcomb,  a  contractor,  and  the  Mary- 
land Casualty  Company. 

The  court  holds  that  only  major 
changes  in  plans  that  would  sub- 
stantially alter  the  commitment  of  the 
surety  should  serve  to  void  the  obliga- 
tion of  the  bond.  In  other  states  the 
rules  outlined  by  Judge  Thompson  have 
prevailed  for  years.  They  are  in  line 
with  a  recent  decision  of  the  California 
Supreme   Court.

In  a  recent  issue  of  the  News  Letter 
of  the  .Southern  California  Chapter,  As- 
sociated General  Contractors,  F.  A. 
Schilling  of  the  contracting  firm  of 
Schilling  and  Brown,  urges  a  state  li- 
cense for  contractors.  In  part,  Mr. 
Schilling   says: 

"The  city  attorney  of  Los  Angeles 
was  recently  requested  by  the  state 
department  of  labor  to  draft  an  ordi- 
nance requiring  all  building  contrac- 
tors to  be  licensed  in  order  that  fly- 
by-night  and  irresponsible  contractors 
may  be  eliminated. 

"It  is  only  a  question  of  tiiric  until 
licensing  of  contractors  will  be  an  ac- 
complished fact  and  our  association 
should  get  bade  of  this  matter  and 
insist  on  a  state  examination.  Licensing 
of  contractors  by  the  various  munici- 
palities is  only  a  make-shift  and  will 
impose  an  unnecessary  tax  on  each  and 
every  one  of  us.  A  contractor  who  un- 
derstands his  business  and  possesses 
the  required  skill,  integrity  and  re- 
sponsibility, .should  not  be  opposed  to 
certification  of  contractors  by  the 
state,  and  certainly  will  have  no  diffi- 
culty    in     passing     an     examination.     A 


contractor  who  cannot  qualify  should 
not  be  allowed  to  construct  anything 
•  ■xcept   small    bungalows   and   sheds. 

"This  examination  should  be  con- 
ducted by  a  state  board  of  examiners 
composed  of  men  of  llie  highest  calibre 
ai>pointed  by  the  governor,  and  our  as- 
soct:ition  should  have  a  voice  both  in 
tile  selection  of  this  board  and  the 
drafting  of  the  law.  Local  licensing  will 
not  eliminate  irresponsible  contractors 
any  more  than  surety  bonds  have  done 
in  the  past. 

"."V  distinctive  name  should  be  pro- 
vided for  all  certified  contractors  and 
it  should  be  a  misdemeanor  for  any- 
one to  use  that  name  in  connection 
with  his  business  unless  he  has  been 
certified  by  the  state  board.  This  cer- 
tainly would  place  our  profession,  or 
business,  if  you  please,  on  an  equal 
tooting  with  that  of  architects,  attor- 
neys  and   other  professions. 

"It  should  also  be  provided  in  this 
law  that  only  such  contractors  as  are 
actually  engineers  be  permitted  to 
style  themselves  "engineer"  or  to  use 
this  word  in  conjunction  with  any 
oilier  word."

STOCKTON      CITY     HALL     HEARING 
SET 

J.  LeUoy  Johnson,  city  attorney  of 
Stockton,  announces  that  the  city  hall 
contract  cases.  Stockton  vs.  Williams 
and  Stockton  vs.  Gnekow,  have  been 
advanced  on  the  calendar  for  hearing 
in  the  appellate  court  in  Sacramento 
on   November   24. 

The  cases  arise  out  of  the  awarding 
of  certain  contracts  for  the  new  city 
hall.  Before  the  contracts  were  due  to 
be  signed  by  the  mayor  the  new  city 
hall  council  rejected  the  awards,  and 
the  mavor  refused  to  sign  the  con- 
tracts. The  cases  were  taken  to  court, 
and  the  city  was  upheld  before  Judge 
O.  F.  Buck.  Appeal  was  made  to  the 
district  court  of  appeals  at  Sacramento, 
with  the  re.sult  that  the  appeal  will 
now   be   heard  on   November  24.

SHOULD       COIVTRACTOR       fO^IPI.KTK 
THE    INCOMPLETE    PLANS? 


Apprenticeship    is    Principal 

Topic    at   Open    Shop   Conference 


A  minority  of  the  architectural  pro- 
fession makes  a  practice  of  turnin-g 
out  incomplete  plans  which  the  con- 
tractor is  required  to  fill  in.  Still 
worse,  some  architects  inadequately 
check  their  plans  and  specifications, 
yet  require  the  contractor  to  assume 
responsibility  for  work  under  them. 
It  is  small  wonder  that  the  contractor 
is  roiled  by  such  practices,  and  that 
contractors'  organizations  are  press- 
ing   for    their    abolishment. 

■Why  should  a  contractor  be  required 
to  supply  drawings  of  structural  •de- 
.  tails'?  Primary  responsibility  rests 
with  the  architect,  and  if  he  en- 
counters structural  features  beyond 
his  ability  he  should  employ  an  en- 
gineer to  work  them  out  for  him.  It 
may  be  perfectly  possible  for  contrac- 
tors to  provide  in  their  bids  for  the 
cost  of  such  work  when  it  is  required 
of  them,  but  such  possibility  does  not 
make  the  arrangement   desirable. 

Architects  commonly  resent  the  tak- 
ing over  of  their  functions  by  con- 
tractors; but  when  they  thrust  upon 
the  contractor  responsibility  for  a 
portion  of  design  they  are  beginning  a 
course  whose  logical  outcome  is  to 
concentrate  the  whole  of  both  design 
and  construction  under  a  single  head. 
And  the  practical  application  of  this 
follows,  whether  the  architect's  re- 
quirement of  the  contractor  is  for  the 
design  of  specific  features  or  for  the 
assumption  of  responsibilities  for  the 
accuracy  of  design. 

It  w'ill  be  well  if  the  leading  organi- 
zations of  architects,  structural  engi- 
neers and  contractors  will  combine  to 
establish  a  definite  code  covering  such 
points.  With  a  code  in  effect  among 
the  societies  and  associations  its  prac- 
tical acceptance  among  non-members 
will  be  so  general  that  the  evils  will 
cease  to  be  important — Engineering  & 
Contractlilg.

Apprenticeship  Principal  Topic 
The  meeting  was  one  of  discussion, 
with  no  set  speeches.  The  first  general 
topic  was  apprenticeship.  The  con- 
census of  thought  on  this  was  that  thf 
organization  conducting  the  school 
must  be  an  open  shop  organization,  and 
that  local  conditions  must  be  met. 
There  must  be  contact  between  appren- 
tices and  employers,  while  the  appren- 
tices are  in  school,  and  after.  Tht 
number  to  be  trained  and  the  continu 
ity  of  training  should  be  governed  b;, 
the  need  for  men  in  the  respective 
trades.  There  was  discussion  of  the 
proper  financing  of  training;  and 
while  some  thought  that  funds  should 
be  derived  from  general  taxation, 
ethers  thought  that  all  funds  should 
be  raised  by  open  shop  organizations. 
Vigilance  is  the  price  of  success  in 
any  movement,  and  vigilance  best  goes 
with    the    control    of   funds. 

There  were  many  interesting  reports 
of  progress  in  training  building  trade 
.'.pprentices;  these  will  be  outlined  in 
future  issues  of  the  American  Con- 
tractor. 

The  matter  of  employment  agencies 
aroused  very  productive  discussion. 
Some  representatives  told  of  employ- 
ment agencies  that  embrace  libraries 
and  tool  rooms  and  that  operate  very 
efficiently.  The  employment  agency 
in  the  building  trades  must  serve  the 
contractors'    needs  With    dispatch.    But 


the  employment  agency  must  be  not 
only  an  instrument  for  the  benefit  of 
employer;  it  must  in  a  sense  belong 
IIP  the  workman.  One  case  of  particu- 
larly effective  work  that  is  being  done 
by  an  employment  bureau  in  settling 
grievances  of  men  regarding  employ- 
ment and  wages  was  cited.  This  case 
will  be  dwelt  on  further  in  a  later 
issue. 

The  employment  bureau  establishes 
contact  with  workers,  protects  workers 
in  the  matter  of  working  relations  and 
wages,  creates  confidence  of  the  work- 
ers in  the  open  shop  firganization,  dis- 
courages industrial  disturbances,  sta- 
bilizes wages,  disarms  agitators,  pro- 
motes industrial  development,  and 
sirves  as  a  point  of  contaet  between  all 
agencies  having  employment  relations. 
Labor  HichanBe  ProBrews  Made 
Naturally,  labor  exchanges  were  dis- 
cussed; and  it  developed  that  while  the 
matter  of  relations  as  between  differ- 
ent cities  is  still  far  from  effective, 
progress  is  being  made.  The  members 
of  the  conference  exchange  informa- 
tion regarding  supply  and  demand  ot 
men  and  regarding  prevailing  wages. 
But  several  members  admitted  that  the 
one  way  to  get  men  was  to  send  out 
scouts. 

It  was  pointed  out  that  the  crafts- 
men as  well  as  the  employers  would  be 
given  service.  Evil  that  is  Inherent  in 
the  practice  of  drawing  men  from  one 
city  to  another  must  be  minimized  as 
much  as  possible. 

Discussion  of  these  subiects  conclud- 
ed the  first  day's  meeting  as  far  as 
the  construction  industry  was  con- 
cerned. 

At  the  second  day's  session  contrac- 
tual relations  were  discussed,  and  the 
essence  of  expressed  opinion  was  that 
contractual  relations  he  had  with  labor 
only  from  the  individual  standpoint. 
The  greater  part  of  the  day  was  taken 
up  with  matters  of  an  executive  na- 
ture and  with  reports  ot  industrial 
situations  in   various  communities. 

The  American  Plan-Open  Shop  Con- 
ference was  organized  at  a  meeting 
held  October  2  and  3,  1922,  at  Colorado 
Springs,  Colorado.  It  is  not  an  organ- 
ization in  the  common  sense  of  the 
term,  because  it  has  no  paid  officers, 
no  headquarters,  and  no  set  procedure. 
It  is  simply  a  common  getting  together 
on  call  of  all  interested  in  the  open 
shop  movement.  .Naturally,  there  is  no 
restriction  as  to  membership.  The  fol- 
lowing definition  of  its  scope  has  been 
adapted; 

Since  the  interest  of  the  general  pub- 
lic is  of  supreme  consideration  in  all 
industrial  as  well  as  political  mat- 
ters, the  rights  of  no  class,  faction,  or 
party  can  he  permitted  to  interfere 
with    the   greater  public    interest. 

All  men,  in  fact,  (for  such  is  the  gov- 
ernmental theory)  are  entitled  to  fol- 
low the  vocation  or  business  to  which 
tlieir  qualifications  incline  them.  No 
man  should  he  denied  nor  should  have 
abridged  or  interfered  with,  his  right 
to  secure  and  retain  employment  in 
any  tr:.de  or  calling  on  account  of  his 
affiliat.on  or  non-aff iliatinn  with  any 
labor  organization  or  any  other  society 
or  association.  In  like  manner,  no  dis- 
crimination for  or  against  any  man  in 
wages,  working  crnditions;  or  continu- 
ity of  employment  should  exist  on  ac- 
count of  such  membership  or  non- 
incmbe  ship.  Furthermore.  Ihe  right  of 
an  employer  to  hire  or  discharge  em- 
ployes should  not  be  interfered  with  in 
.inv   wise,   directly    or   indirectly. 

However,  in  the  maintenance  of 
these  principles  the  employe  should 
nut,    by    economic    pressure,    boycott,    in

SHOW  P.\R.\FFIX  BEST  FOR 

WATKRPROOFI.VG     STONE 


The  superiority  of  paraflin  treat- 
ments for  waterproofing  stone  has  been 
demonstrated  by  a  weathering  test  of 
colorless  waterproofing  compounds 
conducted  at  the  Bureau  of  Standards, 
Department  of  Commerce,  during  the 
past  three  years.  Samples  of  Indiana 
limestone  and  of  sandstone  have  been 
used  in  the  tests,  one  half  of  each 
specimen  being  coated  with  the  water- 
proofing compound  while  the  other  half 
was   left   untreated. 

Very  little  deterioration  was  noticed 
In  the  case  of  the  paraffin  treatments 
during  the  period  of  the  test.  Materials 
using  aluminum  stearate  and  mixtures 
of  paraffn  and  china  wood  oil  were 
also  found  to  give  good  waterproofing 
values  when  properly  applied.  Ma- 
terials consisting  of  solutions  of  glue, 
magnesium  fluosilicpte,  cellulose  ni- 
trate, resins,  etc.,  are  not  sufficiently 
durable  to  Justify  their  use,  in  the 
opinion  of  the  bureau. 

Most  of  the  materials  tried  discolor- 
ed the  stone  to  a  considerable  extent 
at  first,  depending  on  the  porosity  of 
the  stone.  Very  dense  types  were  not 
appreciably  discolored  while  very 
porous  one  appeared  greasy  for  several 
months  after  treatment.  After  a  year 
or  more  of  weathering  the  discolora- 
tion disappeared  and  the  treated  sur- 
face appeared  lighter  and  cleaner  than 
the  untreated. 

A  new  series  of  tests  is  being  started 
with  these  materials  on  dense  lime- 
stones and  marbles.  A  new  compound 
has  recently  come  into  use  in  F.ngland 
which  consists  of  a  silicon  ester.  This 
material  is  being  included   in  the   tests.

Henry  Cowell  Lime  &  Cement  Co. 
reports  a  drop  of  50  cents  per  barrel 
on  Santa  Cruz  lime  in  both  carload  and 
less  than  carload  prices.  This  now 
brings  the  retail  price  in  San  Jose  on 
Santa  Cruz  lime  to  ?2.C5  per  barrel, 
whereas  the  former  retail  prit*;  was 
J3.15  per  barrel.  An  allowance  of  25c 
each  for  empty  barrels  returned  brings 
the  cost  to  $2.40  per  barrel  Tiet.  It  Is 
expected  that  this  large  decline  on  the 
price  of  Santa  Cruz  lime  will  greatly 
stimulate  building  operations  all  along 
the   coast. 


California's    Highway   Financing 

Proposal    is    Cause    for    Comment 

Reprint    from    Indiana      IliKhivayii    and    >iouirH 


The  proper  method  of  imposing  a 
tax  upon  motor  vehicles  to  raise  the 
funds  necessary  In  complete  an  ade- 
nuale  system  of  highways  in  California 
is  again  giving  the  people  and  of- 
(IclaU  of  that  slate  much  concern.  The 
Governor  recently  appointed  a  com- 
mittee to  Inquire  into  the  road  situa- 
tion In  California  and  to  devise  a 
satisfactory  scheme  of  motor  vehicle 
taxation  for  highway  purposes.  The 
only  thing  that  is  unusual  about  the 
California  situation  is  that  not  long 
ago  they  departed  from  the  usual 
licensing  methods  and  adopted  a  flat 
registration  fee  for  pleasure  vehicles. 
(California  also  has  a  gas  tax.)  Now, 
within  a  few  months  after  adopting  the 
flat  registration  fee  Idea,  the  talk  is 
of  returning  to  a  weight  tax  (retain- 
ing and  probably  increasing  the  gas  tax 
also),  as  the  flat  registration  fee 
scheme  has  proven  unsatisfactory  both 
as  a  method  of  licensing  and  as  a 
revenue  producer.  In  discussing  the 
need  for  revenue  for  new  work  so 
that  primary  road  construction  may 
proceed,  the  State  Highway  Engineer  of 
California  recently  said:  "If  funds 
are  not  provided,  State  Highway  con- 
struction will  be  at  an  end  in  the  very 
near  future."  In  other  words  the  hour 
of  awakening  has  struck. 

We  are  told  that  when  the  proposal 
to  make  a  flat  registration  fee  for 
pleasure  vehicles  in  Californld  was 
advocated  it  met  with  almost  univer- 
sal approval  and  was  promptly  enacted 
into  law.  Sure  it  did!  The  people 
thought  they  were  going  to  get  roads 
without  paying  for  them.  Now  that 
the  folly  of  all  this  is  realized  Cali- 
fornia seems  to  be  getting  ready  to 
junk  the  flat  registration  fee  idea  and 
get  back    to   a   graduated   weight   tax. 

Among  the  interested  people  watch- 
ing this  California  experiment  is  Mr. 
W.  M.  David,  Secretary  of  the  Nevada 
Highway  Association.  Here  is  what 
he  now   thinks  of   the  idea: 

California's  experiment  with  the 
flat  registration  fee  has  not  pro- 
duced the  hoped  for  results.  It 
was  felt  that  a  normal  fee  for  reg- 
istration, supplemented  by  a  tax 
upon  the  consumption  of  gas,  would 
provide  for  an  equitable  tax  upon 
motor  vehicles.  It  was  pointed  out 
that  those  who  used  the  roads  most 
would   be    paying    the   greatest    tax. 


The  theory  seemed  all  right,  but  In 
practice  It  developed  a  great  deal 
,,f  discontent  especially  on  the 
part  of  the  owner  of  the  small  car. 
It  was  found  that  owners  of  small 
cars,  particularly  in  rural  districts, 
have  affixed  a  body  to  their  cars 
l)y  means  of  which  small  articles 
and  produce  may  be  transported.  It 
lias  been  held  that  a  car  so  equip- 
ped constitutes  a  commercial 
vehicle,  and  an  additional  fee  of  $5 
lias  been  Imposed.  It  is  pointed  out 
that  a  high-powered  car,  carrying 
a  number  of  passengers,  with  at- 
tendant baggage,  etc.,  is  much 
more  destructive  to  the  highways 
than  is  the  smaller  car,  even 
though  equipped  with  a  light  de- 
livery body,  yet  the  heavy  cars 
pay  a  fee  of  $3,  while  the  small  car 
is  assessed  $8.  It  has  been  propos- 
ed that  Nevada  follow  California 
in  changing  the  present  weight 
schedule  to  the  flat  rate  for  regis- 
tration fees,  and  increase  the 
gasoline  tax  to  make  up  the  dif- 
ference. It  is  the  belief  of  the 
writer,  based  on  comments  of 
owners,  that  this  would  be  unde- 
sirable, particularly  when  those 
who  have  given  this  matter  much 
study  In  our  neighboring  state, 
seem  to  agree  that  the  flat  fee  has 
not  measured  up  to  e^xpectations. 
Their  judgment  can  be  relied  upon 
and  they  are  in  favor  of  the  more 
equitable  fee  based  on  the  wieght 
of  a  vehicle. 

It  is  hoped  that  the  people  of  In- 
diana will  not  try  to  "get  some- 
thing for  nothing"  in  highway  affairs. 
This  idea  never  did  work.  A  promise 
to  lower  license  fees  would  be  a 
popular  vote  getting  device,  of  course, 
but  it  would  be  ruinous  to  any  real 
highway  development  program  if  en- 
acted into  law  The  danger  here  lies 
in  the  fact  that  so  few  think  with  a 
pencil  and  paO  of  paper.  People  would 
like  low  license  fees,  of  course,  but 
they  would  also  like  increased  pro- 
duction of  paved  highways  and  the 
two  "likes"  are  in  direct  conflict.  Both 
cannot  be  had.  It  it  not  possible  to 
reduce  Indiana  license  fees  to  nominal 
registration  fees,  even  If  the  gas  tax 
i5  substantially  increased  at  the  same 
time,  if  we  are  going  to  get  any  place 
with  our  State  Highway  building  pro- 
gram within  the  next  few  years.

Is  not  the  persistently  reiterated 
idea  of  "permanency"  in  home  building 
tending  to  discourage  this  form  of  in- 
vestment? Lumbermen  think  so.  Their 
belief  is  not  based  upon  uneasiness  in 
relation  to  competition  of  other  ma- 
terials for,  unquestionably,  lumber  re- 
mains the  most  ei^onomical  and  satis- 
factory home  building  material  tor  the 
great  mass  of  American  people.  More 
pretentious  homes  are  frequently  built 
of  so-called  "permanent"  materials, 
because  the  element  of  economy  of  con- 
struction docs  not  dictate  choice;  but 
among  those  who  must  figure  very 
carefully  all  items  of  cost  in  their 
home  btiilding— and  this  constitutes  the 
largest  element  of  our  people — the 
sometimes  over-drawn  picture  present- 
ed by  the  dealers  ir^^  "permanent"  ma- 
terials acts  as  an  effectual  deterrent 
to  home,  owning  ambition. 

Certain  dealers  in  building  ma- 
terials base  their  sole  claim  to  the  at- 
tention of  the  public  upon  the  grounds 
of  "permanency."  While  they  assert 
that  their  product  is  incombustible  and 
)>iactically  indestructible,  they  do  not 
hesitate  to  denounce  lumber  as  quickly 
deteriorating  material  and  constitut- 
ing in  itself  an  alarming  fire  hazard. 

As  a  matter  of  fact,  "permanency"  is 
not  a  quality  of  special  appeal  to  home 
builders   of  moderate   means. 

In  nearly  every  town  and  city 
throughout  the  United  States  we  find 
so-called  "permanent"  structures  being 
torn  down  to  make  way  tor  improve- 
ments of  various  kinds  In  these 
cases  the  added  cost  tor  the  element  of 
"permanency"  is  either  entirely  lost  or 
is  of  very  little  value  in  salvaging 
second-hand  material.  As  a  matter  of 
fact  well  built  lumber  construction,  it 
given  the  same  care  as  brick  or  stone 
or  cement,  will  last  the  lifetime  of 
several  generations  of  occupants. 
There  are  thousands  of  beautiful  Col- 
.)nial  homes  in  America  that  have 
withstood  the  storms  of  centuries  and 
•ire  todav  the  same  dignified,  hospi- 
table and  comfortable  dwellings  they 
were  when  newly  built.  To  the  true 
American  there  is  no  more  inspiring 
appeal  to  pride  and  Patriotism  than 
our  country's  long  roster  of  Colonial 
homes.  Like  the  memories  of  their 
sturdv  and  cultured  builders,  these  fine 
old  structures  have  defied  the  elements 
of  oblivion  and  are  today  monuments 
of  solidity  and  good  craftsmanship.  Mt. 
Vernon,  the  home  of  Washington,  erect- 
ed many  years  before  even  the  national 
Capitol  w^as  begun,  has  withstood  the 
wearing  visitations  of  millions  of 
people  who,  inspired  with  awed  vene- 
ration, have  inspected  every  nook  and 
corner    of    this    shrine      of      American 

history.  ,    .       ,      „ 

Lumber  does  not  lay  claim  to  per- 
manency" according  to  the  definition 
laid  down  by  Webster.  Nor  does  it 
concede  the  same  quality  of  endurance 
to  any  other  building  material.  And 
there  "is  no  sound  reason  for  increasing 
the  home  investment  merely  that  it 
mav  survive  after  it  has  served  do- 
mestic requirements.  Even  a  nominal- 
ly "permanent"  house  represents  an 
added  cost  upon  which,  in  a  vast  ina- 
ioritv  of  cases,  there  can  never  be  an 
'adequate  cash  realization.  According 
to  a  governmental  authority  the  aver- 
age tenure  of  an  American  home  by  the 
builder  or  his  family  is  from  ten  to 
fifteen  years.  In  this  period  the  oc- 
cupant gets  no  more  from  the  'per- 
manent" quality  of  his  home  than  from 
life-lasting  construction  of  lumber. 
The  succeeding  occupants  of  any  resi- 
dence in  all  probability  will  be  less 
fastidious  and  less  inclined  to  main- 
tain the  property  in  good  repair  than 
the  original  owner.    This  is  particular- 


Iv  true  of  American  cities,  where  the 
constant  expansion  of  the  apartment 
house,  the  boarding  house  and  retail 
Ijusiness  sections  sweeps  ever  outward 
to  invade  and  absorb  residential  dis- 
tricts. This  means  rapid  deterioration 
in  the  character  of  tenants,  and  the  re- 
sult is  decreasing  rental  values  and  in- 
creasing  bills  for  repairs  and  renova- 
tion. 

.American  towns  and  cities  are  dotted 
everywhere  with  melancholy  reminders 
of  bygone  residential  grandeur — •'per- 
manent" homes  that  no  longer  are 
either  desirable  as  residences  or  profit- 
able as  investments.  And,  at  the  end, 
the  "permanent"  home  yields  to  the 
hi>use  wrecker,  and  the  investment  in 
■permanency"  is  hauled  away  to  the 
dump  heap.  But  suppose  the  original 
structure  had  been  built  of  lumber.  It 
would  have  cost  considerably  le-ss  to 
erect  and  would  have  insured  its  oc- 
cupants greater  health  and  comfort. 
The  lumber-built  home  need  not  have 
grown  dingv  or  musty  with  the  years; 
its  beauty  would  have  been  renewed  by 
the  simple  process  of  painting.  The 
lumber-built  home  could  have  been  en- 
larged or  remodeled  at  a  minimum  of 
cost;  the  lumber-built  home  would 
have  served  its  purpose  as  long  as  it 
would  have  been  either  desirable  or 
profitable  to  occupy  it  as  a  home.  At 
the  end  of  fifteen  or  twenty  years  it 
probably  would  have  met  the  same 
fate  as  its  "permanent"  competitor,  bui 
the  original  builder  would  have  had  a 
maximum  of  service  from  it  and  would 
not  have  incurred  a  heavy  loss  in  the 
process  of  demolishing   it. 

The  home  builder  who  expends  from 
10  to  30  per  cent  of  his  investment  in 
•  iiermanency"  as  a  rule  is  a  visionary 
ontimis-  or  else  one  who  can  afford  to 
disregard  the  element  of  cost  and  build 
without  consideration  for  economy. 
The  vast  majority  of  home  owners  in 
America,  however,  are  people  of  mod- 
erate means,  who  seek,  and  have  a  right 
to  enjoy,  the  best  value  their  money 
can  buv.  Since  lumber  was  used  in 
building  the  homes  of  our  ancestors 
from  earliest  Colonial  days,  it  points 
with  pride  to  its  own  record  as  the  best 
testimonial  of  its  sturdy  honesty  today 
and  reliability  for  the  future.  Good 
lumber  has  never  been  anything  else 
than  good  lumber,  and  it  was  never 
necessary  for  its  makers  either  to 
malign  its  competitors  or  utter  un- 
truthful and  exaggerated  statements 
concerning  its  own  virtues. 

A  lumber-built  home  is  the  embodi- 
ment of  honesty  and  sincerity.  It  is 
made  of  a  product  that  has  stood  the 
test  of  centuries  and  which  is  familiar 
to  all  The  quality  of  materials  and 
workmanship  can  be  readily  ascer- 
tained. The  average  man  and  woman 
knows  good  lumber  and  good  carpen- 
try as  a  matter  of  life-long  experience. 
Therefore,  the  value  of  a  home  built  of 
lumber  can  be  more  accurately  gauged 
bv  the  purchaser  than  one  of  substitute 
materials.  Fundamentally  a  lumber- 
built  home  presents  one  of  two  distinct 
advantages  to  the  builder;  he  can  use 
the  best  lumber  with  a  substantial 
.saving  in  cost  of  construction  in  a 
given  size  of  house,  or  he  can  build  a 
larger  and  more  attractive  home  at 
the  same  cost  as  a  smaller  and  less 
satisfactory  dwelling  of  so-called 
■permanent "  materials. 

Much  stress  is  laid  upon  the  factor 
of  painting,  yet  those  who  have  had 
experience  know  that  it  costs  little 
■nore  to  paint  an  entire  house  of  lum- 
ber than  to  paint  the  exposed  trim 
common  to  all  types  of  construction. 
But  the  advantages  of  over-all  paint- 
ing are  so  apparent  in  the  freshening 
and    renewal      of    the      property,      that

are  a  restless  people,  yearning  always 
for  betterment  in  our  living  conditions. 
A  luraber-bullt  home,  constructed  on

economically  to  interior  changes  and 
exterior  enlargement,  while  so-called 
"permanent"  structures  can  only  be  re-

particularly  to  this  subject,  for  home 
building  is  subject  to  constant  changes 
and  improvements.  We  must  remember 
that  the  tile  bath-room,  basement 
laundry,  the  breakfa.st  nook,  the  sun 
parlor,  the  sleeping  porch,  and  electri- 
cal features  are  modern,  and  if  these 
features  were  not  built  into  a  "per- 
manent" structure  they  could  not  have 
been  aded  without  almost  prohibitive 
cost.  There  are  styles  in  beams  and 
panels,  trim  and  stairways.  New  and 
attractive  conveniences  are  being  in- 
cluded in  home  building  every  s.'ason. 
The  home  of  lumber  presents  less  dlf-

Reconstruction   of   De\astated 

Area    in   France   Nearing   Completion 


According  to  statements  given  out  by 
authorities  in  France,  approximately 
eighty  per  cent  of  the  houses  destroyed 
during  the  war  had  been  rebuilt  by  July 
of  this  year;  ninety  per  cent  of  the 
damaged  canals  had  been  reconstruct- 
ed; eighty  per  cent  of  the  trenches 
used  by  the  troops  of  both  armies  had 
been  filled  in;  and  eighty-eight  per 
cent  of  the  damaged  factories  had  been 
put  In  operation,  according  to  the 
European  Division  of  the  Department 
of  Commerce.  While,  to  a  great  extent 
the  repairing  of  damages  done  in  the 
regions  was  executed  with  Government 
aid,  nevertheles,s,  much  is  due  to  the 
energy  and  industry  of  private  in- 
dividuals and  owners.  Agricultural 
land  has  been  reclaimed,  populations 
had  been  returned  to  their  original 
dwellings,  and  manufacturing  and 
mining  industries  had  been  put  into 
operation.  Since  the  time  reconstruc- 
tion has  gone  forward  at  an  increas- 
ingly rapid  rate,  and  with  nothing  in- 
tervening to  interrupt  the  present  pro- 
gress, it  may  definitely  be  completed 
before   the   middle   of   1925. 

As  an  illustration  of  the  improved 
conditions  in  the  ten  departments  in- 
cluded in  the  devastated  regions,  par- 
ticular mention  may  be  made  of  the 
figures  of  increase  in  population  and  of 
the  statistics  issued  by  official  sources 
regarding  the  resumption  of  activity 
in  the  various  branches  of  industry. 
The  prewar  population  of  the  regions 
under  consideration  numbered  4,690,183, 
while  at  the  close  of  the  war,  on  No- 
vember 11,  1918,  this  number  had  been 
reduced  to  2,075,067.  On  January  first 
of  the  current  year  the  population 
amounted  to  4,253,677,  or  only  436,506 
less  than  at  the  opening  of  the  war. 
In  3239  out  of  3255  communes,  the  local 
administration  has  been  fully  reorgan- 
ized, and  the  number  o£  public  schools 
and  post  offices  in  these  districts  ex- 
ceeds  those  of  prewar  years. 

Shortly  before  the  close  of  the  war, 
as  is  well  known,  a  corporation  was 
organized,  known  as  the  "Credit  Na- 
tional" whose  purpose  was  to  facilitate 
the  repair  of  damages  caused  by  the 
war.      The    company    was    formed    by    a 


Northwest  Engineering  Co.  of  Chi- 
cago, manufacturers  of  cranes,  shovels 
and  draglines,  has  opened  a  Pacific 
Coast  office  at  23  Main  St.,  San  Fran- 
cisco, and  has  closed  arrangements 
with  the  Collins-Kay  Machinery  Co., 
438  E  Third  St.,  Los  Angeles,  whereby 
the  latter  company  will  act  as  then- 
sales  agents  in  the  local  territory. 

American  Wholesale  Hardware  Co.  of 
Long  Beach  has  been  incorporated  with 
a  capital  stock  of  $2,000,000.  Directors 
of  the  company  are:  J.  F.,  T,  L.  and 
Addie  C.  Haasis  of  Long  Beach,  P. 
Nelson  of  Pasadena  and  F.  A,  Hastings 
of    Santa    Monica. 

Westerberg  Pole  &  Piling  Co.,  manu- 
facturers and  wholesales  of  cedar 
poles,  posts,  fir  piling  and  spars,  has 
opened  offices  in  the  Northwestern 
Bank  Bldg.,  Portland,  Ore.,  with  F.  E. 
Westerberg   in   charge. 

Construction  will  be  started  shortly 
on  ?40,000  plant  for  Globe  Electric 
Works  at  Fifteenth  and  Mission  Sts., 
San   Francisco. 


gruup  of  the  most  important  French 
banks,  with  a  capital  of  100  million 
francs,  and  Its  declared  object  was  the 
payment  In  cash  of  compensation  due 
to  "those  who  had  suffered  damages 
from  the  war,  and  to  arrange  for  the 
payment  of  interest  on  such  advances. 
Capital  required  to  pay  for  war 
damages  was  raised  by  the  Issue  of  in- 
terest bearing  obligations  In  the  form 
of  bonds  on  which  interest,  redemption 
and  premium  charges  were  guaranteed 
by  the  State,  the  money  for  such  pay- 
ments being  included  in  the  French 
budget.  Up  to  April  30,  1924,  claim- 
ants had  been  paid  54  billion  francs. 
Various  methods  of  payment  were 
adopted.  Some  of  the  payments  were 
made  In  cash,  some  in  kind,  others  in 
Government    securities. 

On  January  the  first  of  this  year  the 
total  State  liabilities  definitely  recog- 
nized on  claims  to  individuals  within 
the  devastated  regions  amounted  to 
62  H  billion  francs,  and  there  was  a 
further  sum  of  over  3%  billion 
francs  connected  with  contested  de- 
cisions. It  is  expected  that  an  addi- 
tional 16  billion  francs  will  be  awarded, 
bringing  the  total  of  damages  up  to 
apiiroximately  82 \i  billion  francs.  As 
will  be  seen,  therefore,  approximately 
28  million  still  remain  due  to  sufferers 
Lit  the  war,  after  deduction  of  the  54 
billions  already  paid. 

Although  th  French  Government  is 
undertaking  the  responsibility  for 
financing  reconstruction,  a  considerable 
part  of  the  direct  burden  of  cash  pay- 
ment has  been  distributed  among  dif- 
ferent agencies.  The  French  Treasury, 
at  the  end  of  1923,  had  furnished  almost 
22  billion  francs,  while  the  Credit  Na- 
tional had  provided  another  22  billion. 
At  the  end  of  April,  the  Credit  Na- 
tional had  increased  its  cash  payments 
to  a  total  of  over  24  billion  and  this, 
added  to  the  amounts  furnished  by  the 
Government,  and  certain  annuity  certi- 
ficates, made  a  total  of  54  billion  francs 
paid. 

Fifty  per  cent  of  farming  land  have 
been  restored,  and  three-fourths  of  the 
coal  mines  are   now   operating. 


NEW       HIGHW^AY      irlLLER 


Because  of  variations  in  tempera- 
ture, expansion  joints  are  now  being 
provided  in  all  concrete  paving  on 
California  state  highways.  The  present 
policy  calls  for  installation  of  joints  at 
100-foot  intervals,  instead  of  placing 
them  wherever  the  pouring  of  concrete 
happens  to  stop  at  noon  and  night,  as 
was  formerly  the  practice.  In  the  past, 
these  joints  have  been  filled  with  a 
patent  filler  somewhat  expensive  and 
declared  lacking  in  various  necessary 
qualities. 

The  department  worked  out  its  own 
filler,  the  formula  being  nothing  more 
complicated  than  sawdust  and  asphalt, 
a  mixture  of  which  makes  a  contraction 
joint  filler  more  satisfactory  than  any 
yet  tried,  the  cost  being  less  than  that 
charged  for  the  patent  filler  formerly 
used. 


PLANT       REBUILDING       COMPLETED 


Lassen  Lumber  and  Box  Company, 
Susanville,  will  shortly  commence 
erection  of  lumber  storage  shed,  92  by 
320    feet. 

Murray  Cabinet  &  Show  Case  Co.,  of 
Fresno,  has  started  construction  of  a 
$25,000  plant  in  E   street,  Fresno. 


The  United  States  Gypsum  Company 
has  just  finished  completely  rebuilding 
the  Sheetrock  wallboard  unit  of  its 
plant  at  Fort  Dodge,  Iowa,  increasing 
its  capacity  to  225,000  feet  a  day  and 
making  this  plant  one  of  the  three 
largest  gypsum  working  establish- 
ments in  the  world.  This  construc- 
tion cost  $150,000  and  provides  for 
further  expansion  up  to  a  daily  ca- 
pacity of  50,000  feet  more  than  the 
plant  had  before   this   year.

In  a  letter  to  the  trade.  Smilh-Boolli- 
Usher  Co.,  50  Fremont  St.,  San  Fran- 
cisco, calls  attention  to  the  rompan.v"s 
priced  catalogs  vs.  "the  other  kind," 
and  asks  the  question:  "Have  you  ever 
stopped  to  thing  what  a  poor,  helpless 
thing  a  catalog  is  which  gives  you  no 
suggestion  of  stocks  on  liarid  or  costs? 
Without  letter  or  personal  price  quota- 
tion, the  poor  cripple  is  generally  put 
on  the  shelf  until  somebody  discovers 
that  a  large  part  of  the  matter  is  dead 
■ — and  then  it  is  fired  in  the  office 
mortuary". 

The  comfiany  announces,  from  its  ex- 
perience, catalogs  depreciate  about  15 
per  cent  per  annum  and  calls  attention 
to  Ihe  fact  that  it  will  issue  quarterly 
illustrated  priced  catalogs  revised  to 
show  actual  stock  on  hand  and  all 
openly  priced.  Priced  catalogs  now  on

CONTR  '.CTOR   SVES  FOR  D  A  i»l  A C; ll .S 

Suit  of  the  Winter  Construction  Co. 
against  the  Hill  Street  Fireproof  Build- 
ing Company  for  $51), 832. 98  damages 
claimed  by  the  former  on  account  of 
unnecessary  delays  in  finishing  the 
Metropolitan  theatre  building,  Los  An- 
geles, is  being  heard  by  Judge  Fleming 
in  the  Superior  court.  The  construction 
company's  contract,  amounting  to  $470,- 
735,  was  entered  into  April  11.  1921, 
and  called  for  completion  of  the  work 
Nov.  1,  1921.  Because  of  various  delays 
■  for  which  the  company  contends  the 
owner  was  responsible,  the  work  was 
not  finished  until  Aug.  25,  1922.  The 
amount  claimed  is  for  salaries  of  em- 
ployes, rental  of  equipment  and  other 
expenses  incurred  during  the  time  worlv 
was   suspended. 


MOW      MATBKlAb  THAT      .%IUS  CON- 


A  new  walerproodng  material  and 
accelerator  for  use  in  concrete,  known 
as  Cal,  was  announced  recently  by  the 
.Security  Cement  and  Lime  Company, 
llageratown,  Maryland.  This  material 
actually  has  been  usid  for  several 
yeiirs  and  has  aided  in  the  construction 
of  many  pro.iects,  having  been  manu- 
faitured  by  the  Cal  Chemical  Company, 
of  Boston. 

It  is  an  oxychloride  of  calcium,  and 
Is  manufactured  by  pulverizing  the 
product  resulting  from  a  mixture  of 
either  quicklime  or  hydrated  lime, 
calcium  chloride,  and  water.  The  re- 
sult is  a  white  powder  that  Is  put  up 
in  100-pound  sacks  for  convenient 
luindling. 

This  material  is  mixed  witli  the  ce- 
ment and  the  aggregates  before  the 
water  is  added,  and  thus  is  easier  to 
use  and  is  more  convenient  than 
calcium  chloride,  according  to  the 
manufacturers. 

As  a  result  of  tests  made  by  the  Bu- 
reau of  Standards  and  by  oilier  investi- 
gators, the  manufacturers  of  this  pat- 
ented material  claim  tiiat  it  will  make 
unsound  cements  sound,  will  materially 
imrease  the  rate  of  setting  of  concrete, 
will  mal<e  a  dense  waterproof  concrete, 
will  prevent  drying  out  of  concrete  in 
hot  dry  weather,  will  permit  rapid  set- 
ting of  concrete  in  weather  that  is  ap- 
preciably colder  than  the  minimum  that 
ordinary  concrete  would  stand,  that  it 
will  not  affect  reinforcing  steel  but 
will  retard  or  even  preclude  corrosion, 
I'.ecausc  of  the  fact  that  it  is  chemical- 
ly slightly  basic  in  nature,  and  that 
reduction  in  ultimate  strength  of  the 
concrete  as  a  result  of  its  use  is  im- 
possible. 


SACRA  MI'IVTO      ENGINKER     WINS     IN 
SEWER    tONTRACT    SUIT 

\\'ord  has  been  received  that  in  an 
iiiianinious  decision  handed  down  by 
the  second  district  court  of  appeal  in 
Los  Angeles,  Peter  R.  Gadd  of  Sacra- 
mento, foriner  general  manager  and 
mcniiier  of  the  California  State  Re- 
clamation Board,  was  victorious  in  a 
suit  to  compel  tlie  city  of  Los  Angeles 
to  execute  a  contract  with  him  tor  the 
c-onstruction  of  a  $3,000,000  storm 
drain    in    the   southern   city. 

Gadd  was  low  bidder  and  the  con- 
tract was  awarded  him  in  May  of  this 
year.  The  proceedings,  however,  were 
the  first  to  be  instituted  under  the  new 
boundary  line  act,  approved  by  the 
state  legislature  June  2.  1923.  In  order 
lo  test  the  constitutionality  of  the  act 
and  validate  the  present  proceedings, 
the  board  of  public  works  of  Los  An- 
geles refused  lo  sign  the  contracts 
with  Gadd  and  the  latter  petitioned  the 
apiiellate  court   for  a   writ  of  mandate.

OCTOBER    TOTAL    !5C.I1«.313 


Construction  activities  in  San  Fran- 
cisco for  the  month  of  October.  1924, 
totaled  approximately  $6,116,313.  ac- 
cording to  figures  compiled  by  John  P. 
Morgan,  chief  inspector  of  buildings  of 
the  Department  of  Public  Works. 
During  the  month  818  permits  were 
Issued.  Of  these  436  were  for  altera- 
tions, repairs  and  additions  to  standing 
structures,  the  balance  of  the  opera- 
tions being  for  new  construction. 

The  total  of  the  past  month,  accord- 
ing to  value,  exceeds  the  total  for  the 
month  of  September,  this  year,  and 
October  of  1923.  In  September,  918 
permits  were  granted  with  an  estimat- 
ed valuation  of  $5,671,784  and  for  the 
month  of  October,  1923,  records  show 
909  permits  for  improvements  approxi- 
mating $3,793,374.

Representatives  of  the  Douglas  Fir 
Kxploitation  and  Export  Company  and 
the  107  defendants  In  the  complaint 
brought  by  the  Federal  Trade  Commis- 
sion of  unfair  methods  of  competition 
In  the  lumber  industry  expressed 
themselves  at  "gratified"  over  the  dis- 
missing "without  prejudice"  by  the 
commission    of    the    charges. 

"We  are  naturally  very  much  grati- 
fied at  the  decision  of  the  Federal 
Trade  Commission,  yet  we  do  not  see 
how  they  could  have  reached  any  other 
conclusion  from  the  facts."  said  Attor- 
ney J.  Barrett  Carter,  who  was  asso- 
ciated with  Louis  Titus  and  Joseph 
X.   Teal   in   the   defense. 

Both  sides  were  agreed  that  there 
was  no  noticeable  stimulation  of  the 
lumber  export  industry  on  the  Pacific 
Coast  as  a  result  of  the  decision  be- 
cause no  clear-cut  issue  was  decided. 

The  dissenting  opinion  of  Chairman 
Huston  Thompson  of  the  board  was 
widely  discussed  because  of  the  em- 
phatic stand  he  took  in  disagreeing 
with  his  colleagues  on  the  decision. 

Thompson  intimated  strongly  in  his 
written  dissent  the  belief  that  the  de- 
fendants were  violating  provisions  of 
the    Sherman   anti-trust    law. 

The  entire  case  can  be  brought  up 
again  by  the  commission,  according  to 
Chairman  Thompson,  should  investi- 
gation reveal  that  the  Douglas  fir  or- 
ganization has  committed  breaches  of 
the   law. 

Dismissing  of  the  case  'without  pre- 
judice" means,  according  to  Thompson, 
that  the  commission  retains  the  power 
to   reopen  the  case. 


rOXCRETE     SLAB    USE    PR.\ISED 


Heavily  reinforced  blocks  with  joints 
of  interlocking  steel  and  concrete  are 
being  used  in  the  Western  Pacific 
Railroad's  new  $250,000  machine  shop 
and  roundhouse  nearing  completion  in 
Stockton. 

Three  hundred  slabs,  cast  at  the 
same  time  as  blocks  for  a  big  oil  sta- 
tion at  Sacramento,  were  moved  by 
train  and  then  placed  in  position.  The 
roundhouse,  designed  for  ten  locomo- 
tives and  consis-ting  of  ten  identical 
units,  can  be  extended  to  accommodate 
fifty-four. 

A  saving  of  25  per  cent  by  use  of  the 
concrete  block  method  invented  by 
John  E.  Conzelman,  former  chief  en- 
gineer of  the  Corrugated  Bar  Company 
of  Chicago,  is  possible  as  compared 
with  the  cost  of  building  false  work 
frames,  setting  up  steel  and  pouring 
concrete  in  the  usual  "way,  according 
to  Shirley  Houghton,  chief  engineer  of 
W.  A.  Bechtel  &  Sons,  in  charge  of  con- 
struction at  Stockton. 

"While  not  suited  to  some  types  of 
buildings,"  state  Houghton,  "in  ware- 
houses, roundhouses  and  structures 
where  the  unit  method  of  construction 
can  be_  employed  and  where  there  is  a 
repetition  of  units,  separately  molded 
reinforced  pieces,  cast  on  the  ground 
and  lifted  into  position  after  being 
thoroughly  set  and  tempered,  make 
possible   speedier   construction." 


In  the  opinion  of  James  Hartness. 
former  governor  of  Vermont,  the  aver- 
age working  day  of  the  building  crafts- 
men of  the  future  will  be  about  five 
hours.

■Jhi  Maintenance  Department  of  Di- 
\lKu,r<  VI  of  the  CaIiforn:a  State  High- 
<Viiy  Commission  has  been  e\p,»rlment- 
inic  «;th  a  portable  pneumatS;  ham- 
mer frr  breaking  concre*e  on  a  ma.ior 
pauning  Job  in  M-'rced  coun'y,  ac-oi-d- 
ing  to  S.  T.  Corfiel,!,  assistint  divis^ii! 
engineer  for  the  commission. 

The  pavement  on  which  the  breaker 
was  tried  was  five  inches  thick,  rein- 
forced with  %"  bars,  exceptionally 
tough  to  break  out  by  hand  methods. 

At  the  inception  of  the  work,  several 
days  were  spent  breaking  concrete  by 
hand.  Results  were  slow,  the  six 
laborers  employed  being  unable  to  keep 
a  one-sack  mixer  busy  half  the  work- 
ing day. 

A  6  X  6  Ingersoll-Rand  compressor 
and  a  Type  CC25  Ingersoll-Rand  pave- 
ment breaker  were  then  placed  upon 
the  job.  The  output  was  doubled  and 
only  one  man  was  required  to  actually 
break  the  concrete.  Three  and  four 
other  laborers  were  necessary  to  re- 
move the  broken  concrete  from  the 
grade,  but  the  mixer  was  kept  busy 
eight  hours  a  day.  By  noon  each  day 
or  shortly  afterward,  enough  concrete 
had  been  broken  out  to  keep  the  mixer 
working    the    entire    day. 

Labor  costs  for  the  patching  were 
reduced  from  20  cents  to  14  cents  per 
square  foot  by  the  use  of  the  pneu- 
matic breaker. 

Extensive  patch  work  also  has  been 
dune  near  Lost  Hills,  in  Kern  County, 
with  the  aid  of  a  pneumatic  breaker. 
The  division's  experiments  indicate 
that  the  pneumatic  breaker  is  adapt- 
able to  pavement  repair  work  where 
any  considerable  amount  of  concrete 
is  to  be  broke  and  removed. 

The  breaker's  real  value,  however, 
lies  not  so  much  in  the  low  cost  of 
breaking  the  concrete,  but  in  keeping 
the  work  ahead  of  the  mixer,  permit-

of  only  part  of  the  day,  as  is  necessary 
when  the  slower  hand  methods  are 
used. 

Compressors  used  on  these  jobs 
should  be  mounted  upon  rubber  tired 
trailers  so  that  they  may  be  moved

YOSEMITE      LUMBER      COMPANY      TO 
EXPEND     $5,000,000 


Five  million  dollars  will  be  spent  on 
expansion  by  the  Tosemite  Lumber 
Company  at  Merced  Falls,  the  sum  be- 
ing raised  by  bonds.  This  money  will 
Ko  for  purchase  of  new  timber  acre- 
age adjacent  to  the  present  company 
holdings   near   Hazel    Green. 

A  number  of  salesmen  for  the  Pierce 
Fair  Company  of  San  Francisco,  bond 
house,  which  will  handle  the  issue,  are 
on  a  tour  of  inspection  of  the  company 
properties  in  Mariposa  county,  prior  to 
taking  the  securities  on  the  road  to 
offer  to  bond  buyers. 

The  Yosemite  Lumber  Company  dur- 
ing the  past  months  has  expanded  its 
plant  at  Merced  Falls  considerably, 
adding  new  equipment  and  arranging 
the  mill  for  rapid  work  on  large  vol- 
umes. 

One  of  the  big  improvements  was  the 
incline  railway  up  the  face  of  the 
Merced  River  Canyon  from  El  Portal 
via  the  incline,  and  is  then  shipped 
down  the  Yosemite  Valley  line  to  Mer-

ALONG  THE  LINE 


As  the  end  of  1924  approaches,  It  becomes  more  apparent  that  the  total 
volume  of  construction  started  this  year  will  be  considerably  above  that  ot 
1923  During  the  nine  months  ending  September  30.  construction  contracts 
awarded  in  thirtv-six  eastern  states  were  nearly  12  per  cent  greater  in  valua- 
tion than  awards  made  during  the  same  period  in  1923,  according  to  the  Ameri- 
can Contractor.  Business  generally  goes  into  a  depression  shortly  before  a 
presidential  election,  but  that  has  not  been  the  case  this  year  in  the  construc- 
tion industry.  September.  1924,  shows  an  increase  in  value  over  permits 
issued  during  the  same  month  last  year  of  approximately  19  per  cent.  Condi- 
tions were  never  more  favorable  for  continued  prosperity,  especially  in  the 
great  agricultural  states  of  the  Middle  West.  The  largest  wheat  crop  ever 
harvested  is  being  sold  at  a  high  price  and  the  farmers  are  getting  back  on 
their  feet  once  more.  Everywhere  one  goes  in  these  states  there  is  a  note  of 
optimism,  and  the  builders  are  anticipating  a  big  year  in  the  construction  in- 
dustry in   1925.

To  hi.iter  servo  the  oonstriulion  In- 
dustry of  the  community,  the  Building 
.Miiti-rial  Dealers  Association  of  Seat- 
tle has  been  formed.  The  promotion 
*tf  clean  business  practices  and  closer 
co-operation  with  architects  and  con- 
iraetors  are  t.he  objects  sought,  ao- 
cordine  to  officials  o_£  the  newly  or- 
ganized association. 

D.  E.  Fryer  of  the  D.  E.  Fryer  Co. 
has  been  elected  president  of  the  as- 
sociation. 

"Our  purposes,"  states  Mr.  Fryer, 
"are  to  raise  the  standards  of  business 
methods  and  practices  among  the 
dealers  in  building  materials.  The  Idea 
is  to  encourage  straight  forward  busi- 
ness methods  with  the  purpose  in  mind, 
•to   live   and   let   live."' 

The  association  plans  to  co-oper- 
ate with  architects,  contractors  and 
others  in  the  industry  to  improve  the 
methods  of  building  construction  and 
to  obtain  better  buildings,  for  the  ad- 
vancement of  the  construction  general- 
ly for  the  benefit  oC  the  community. 

The  organization  by-laws  provide 
that  there  shall  bo  no  price-fixing  by 
the  association  or  by  any  branch  or 
agency  of  it  and  this  is  claimed  to  be 
the  first  time  in  the  past  24  years  that 
there  has  been  any  concerted  at- 
tempt made  to  organize  an  association 
along  these  lines. 

All  reputable  dealers  in  building 
materials  who  do  not  belong  to  special 
branches  of  the  trade  having  separate 
organizations  of  their  own  are  eligible 
to  membership.  The  Building  Material 
Dealers'  Association  plans  to  co- 
operate with  other  organizations  which 
are    established    tor    similar    purposes. 

The  present  officers  elected  when  the 
organization  was  formed  are:  Presi-

Code    of    Ethics    Drafted    for 

San    Francisco    Builders'    Exchange 


RO.VD    MEKT    SCilEDlLED 


Owners  of  property  about  Lake 
Tahoe  and  others  interested  in  the 
final  location  and  construction  of  the 
state  highway  in  that  section  have 
been  invited  by  the  California  High- 
way Commission  to  attend  a  confer- 
ence at  its  offices  in  the  State  Build- 
ing at  San  Francisco,  at  1:30  P.  M., 
Saturday.    November   15th. 

The  desire  of  the  commission  to  per- 
manently Iccate  and  construct  the 
road  will  be  explained  from  the  view- 
point of  the  commission's  engineers,  it 
is  announced  by  State  Highw-ay  Engi- 
neer K.  M.  Morton.  Property  owners 
will  have  ample  opportunity  to  state 
their  position  with  regards  to  future 
improvements. 

The  conference  has  been  called  at 
this  time  because  of  the  recent  protests 
filed  with  the  state  highway  engineer 
over  the  cutting  of  trees  along  the 
present  state  road  around  the  lalce 
where  improvements  have  been  under 
way  during  the  past  Summer. 

Engineer  Morton  immediately  as- 
sured those  interested  of  the  desire  of 
the  state  authorities  to  solve  the  prob- 
lem in  a  manner  satisfactory  to  all 
concerned  and  in  such  a  way  as  to 
make  possible  an  adequate  state  high- 
way sufficient  to  safely  care  for  the 
growing  traffic  of  the  district. 


1.  The  owner  or  architect  should 
not  call  for  tinneoessary  or  full  esti- 
mates on  tentative  projects,  without 
advising  those  asked  for  estimates  that 
the  project  is  tentative. 

'i.  The  owner  or  architect  should 
not  call  for  an  excessive  number  of 
bids.  It  is  recommended  that  not  to 
exceed  six   bids   be  called  for. 

3.  When  the  owner  has  determined 
to  build  he  should  first  decide  whether 
he  is  to  let  a  general  contract,  segre- 
gated contracts,  or  a  percentage  con- 
tract. 

4.  If  the  decision  is  to  let  a  general 
contract,  the  owner  or  architect 
should  call  into  competition  only  gen- 
eral contractors  to  whom  he  is  willing 
to  aw'ard  the  contract.  He  sh'->uld  then 
award  the  contiact  to  the  low  bidder 
on  the  plans  and  specifications  sent  out 
for  bids,  having  required  him  to  file 
with  his  bid  the  list  of  subcontractors 
whose  figures  he  has  used.  He  should 
then  insist  that  the  general  contractor 
let  his  contracts  to  the  subcontractors 
whose  figures  he  used  in  making  up 
his  bid.  provided  such  subcontractois 
arc   satisfactory   to   the   architect. 

5.  If  it  is  decided  to  let  the  job  by 
segregated  contracts,  the  owner  or 
architect  should  only  call  in  as  bidders 
subcontractors  to  whom  he  is  WMlling 
to  award  the  work.  Then  he  should 
award  the  segregated  contracts  to  tlie 
low  bidders  on  the  plans  and  specifica- 
tions  sent   out   for   bids.  , 

6.  If  it  is  decided  to  do  the  work 
upon  the  percentage  contract  plan,  the 
owner  or  architect  should  insist  that 
the  percentage  contractor,  when  taking 
bids,  should  only  call  in  as  bidders  con- 
tractors to  whom  he  and  the  architect 
are  willing  to  award  the  work.  Then 
the  owner  or  architect  should  insist 
that  the  percentage  contractor  award 
the  job  to  the  low  bidders  on  the 
plans  and  specifications  sent  out  for 
bids. 

7.  In  case  a  general  contractor  or 
percentage  contractor  figures  or  esti- 
mates the  total  job  himself  when  tak- 
ing it  from  the  owner,  the  owner  or 
architect  should  insist  that  if,  there- 
after, the  general  contractor  or  per- 
centage contractor  decides  to  let  sub- 
contracts for  any  portion  of  the  work, 
that  he  take  bids  only  from  subcon- 
tractors to  whom  he  and  the  architect 
are  willing  to  award  the  work.  Then 
the    owner    or    architect    should    insist

that  the  jobs  be  awarded  to  the  low 
bidders  on  the  plans  and  specifications 
sent  out  for  bids. 

8.  All  bids  should  be  opened  in  pub- 
lic at  a  set  time  and  place,  except 
where  the  architect  or  owner  deems 
it   impossible. 

9.  All  owners  should  instruct  their 
architects  to  write  into  all  plans,  speci- 
fications and  contracts,  a  clause  re- 
quiring all  W'ork  to  be  done  on  the 
American  Plan,  and  then  the  owner  and 
architect  should  insist  on  the  strict 
observance  of  this  clause. 

10.  The  architect  should  always  act 
entirely  in  a  judicial  capacity  in  de- 
termining contract  obligations,  insist- 
ing upon  full  performance  by  owner 
and  contractor;  he  should  write  into 
his  specifications  clauses  providing  for 
the  observance  by  the  contractor  of  all 
building  ordinances,  safety  and  sani- 
tary codes;  he  should  never  require  a 
contractors  to  perform  any  part  of  the 
service  which  is  generally  recognized 
as  the  worii  of  the  architect;  he  should 
not  attempt  to  cover  possible  over- 
sights or  errors  by  indefinite  clauses 
in  the  contract  or  specification:  he 
should  not  engage  in  work  in  the 
building  trades,  except  in  his  capacity 
as   an   architect. 

11.  The  contractor  should  insist  on 
enforcement  of  building  ordinances 
and  safety  and  sanitary  codes;  he 
should  carry  compensation  insurance; 
he  should  refuse  to  deal  directly  with 
the  owner  w^here  an  architect  has  been 
employed  for  supervision,  and  should 
never  submit  to  the  owner  directly, 
without  the  architect's  approval  and 
knowledge,  any  proposals  or  estimates: 
he  should  never  increase  the  cost  of 
work  or  produce  work  inferior  to  that 
contracted  for;  he  should  deal  fairly 
and  justly  with  the  labor  employed  by 
him  and  make  every  effort  to  afford 
opportunity  to  apprentices  to  learn  the 
building  trades. 

12.  Labor  employed  in  the  building 
trades  .should  never  endeavor  improp- 
erly to  increase  the  cost  of  the  work 
or  to  produce  inferior  work;  labor 
should  never  endeavor  to  restrict  the 
quantity  or  quality  of  the  output  of  the 
individual;  labor  should  cooperate  in 
affording  every  opportunity  to  appren- 
tices to  learn  the  building  trades  and, 
when  qualified,  to  practice  their 
trades.

FOREST       SER\T[CE       REPORTS       ON 
WOOD   DECAY 


Decay  in  wood  is  caused  by  fungi  of 
various  kinds.  Sometimes  these  or- 
ganisms develop  upon  the  trees  in  the 
forest,  and  sometimes  upon  the  lumber 
after  it  is  cut.  But  when  the  lumber 
passes  through  either  the  kiln-drying 
or  steaming  processes  it  is  usually 
taken  for  granted  that  these  destruc- 
tive fungi  have  been  killed  and  that 
the  lumber  is  freed  from  further  de- 
cay. However,  no  definite  tests  to  de- 
termine this  point  having  been  made, 
the  United  States  Department  of  Agri- 
culture through  its  Bureau  of  Plant  In- 
dustry and  Forest  Service  undertook 
experimental  work  along  this  line  at 
the  Forest  Products  Laboratory.  The 
results  are  published  in  Department 
Bulletin  1262,  Effect  of  Kiln  Drying, 
Steaming,  and  Air  Seasoning  on  Cer- 
tain Fungi   in   Wood,   recently   issued. 

For  this  study  66  logs  were  obtained 
from  Wisconsin  and  Oregon  and  addi- 
tional material  from  other  sources  was 
also  used.  In  all,  there  were  26  species 
of  fungi  studied  on  23  species  of  tim- 
ber. From  the  results  obtained  it  was 
found  that  the  ordinary  commercial 
kiln-drying  and  steaming  processes 
were  effective  in  sterilizing  infected 
wood  where  the  experimental  pieces 
used  were  no  larger  than  4  by  4  inches. 
For  larger  pieces  higher  temperature 
or   longer  periods   were   required. 

In  order  to  protect  lumber  against 
fungi  the  methods  of  piling  and  stor- 
age were  found  to  be  important.  Some 
fungi  continue  to  develop  as  long  as 
their  growing  conditions  are  favorable 
and  then  lie  dormant  during  periods  of 
unfavorable  conditions  such  as  absence 
of  sufficient  moisture  in  the  lumber  for 
growth.  In  some  cases  it  was  found 
that  the  dormant  fungi  on  lumber 
kept  in  air-dry  storage  for  as  long  as 
six  and  seven  years  would  renew  their 
destructive  growth  when  moisture  was 
added.

Service,  Washington,  D.  C,  as  long  as

S.    F.    CONTRACTORS    LOSE    SUIT    ON 
STATE    HIGHWAY    CLAIM 


The  suit  of  Palmer  &  McBryde,  San 
Francisco  highway  contractors,  against 
the  state  to  recover  compensation  for 
extra  yardage  on  a  grading  contract 
in  Del  Norte  country  was  dismissed  by 
the  court.  The  contractors  sought  a 
writ  of  mandate  to  compel  the  state 
highway  engineer  to  amend  his  final 
estimate  to  include  this  extra  material. 
The  case  was  decided  upon  the  ground 
that  proceedings  in  mandamus  were 
not  the  proper  remedy.  Suit  to  re- 
cover should   have  been   instituted. 

It  was  pointed  out  by  the  court, 
however,  in  making  its  ruling,  that 
the  engineer  is  the  agent  of  the  state 
for  examining  the  work  and  estimating 
the  amount  payable,  which  requires 
the  exercise  of  judgment.  The  ex- 
amination having  been  made,  the 
court  was  without  power  to  direct  the 
engineer  to  make  a  different  finding. 
It  was  also  pointed  out  by  the  court 
that  the  check  given  in  payment  for 
the  final  estimate  was  so  worded  that, 
by  its  acceptance,  the  contractors 
waived    all    further    claims. 

It  was  the  defense  of  the  state  to 
the  claim  of  the  contractors  for  extra 
yardage  that  it  was  due  to  over-shoot- 
ing. The  road  was  being  built  along 
the  side  of  a  cliff,  overlooking  the 
ocean.  Some  heavy  blasts  caused  large 
quantities  of  material  to  slide  into  the 
sea,  and  the  bank  broke  back  beyond 
the  original  slope  stakes,  the  state 
contended. 


ANOTHER   COLUMBIA S 


Here,  There  and  Everywhere 


(Spe<-ial   Correspondence) 


The  second  annual  meeting  of  the 
Kansas  Building  Forum,  held  in  Wich- 
ita. October  16,  17  and  18,  attended  by 
representatives  of  the  Master  Build- 
ers Association  of  Kansas,  the  Kansas 
Society  of  Architects  and  the  Mid-west 
Structural  Society  was  a  success  in 
every  respect  according  to  those  who 
attended  the  various  sessions.  The 
purpose  of  the  forum  is  to  provide  a 
means  whereby  delegates  from  the 
various  associations  may  get  together 
for  a  discussion  of  mutual  problems. 
The  Master  Builders  Association  of 
Kansas  took  a  number  of  important 
steps,  among  them  being  the  adoption 
of  a  resolution  to  affiliate  with  the  Na- 
tional Association  of  Building  Trades 
Employers.  The  association  also  de- 
cided to  put  into  operation  a  Quantity 
Survey  Bureau.  The  most  important 
action  taken  by  the  Kansas  Society  of 
Architects  was  the  adoption  of  a  reso- 
lution to  go  before  the  state  legisla- 
ture with  a  bill  to  make  it  necessary 
for  an  architect  to  secure  a  license  be- 
fore being  allowed  to  practice  in  Kan- 
sas. The  principal  address  was  de- 
livered by  O.  W.  Rosenthal  of  Chicago, 
a  member  of  the  Executive  Committee 
of  the  National  Association  of  Build- 
ing Trades  Employers.  He  emphasized 
the  necessity  for  builders  to  preach  the 
gospel  of  the  desirability  of  the  real 
estate  bond  as  a  safe  investment. 


It  is  expected  that  a  large  number 
of  contractors  and  labor  men  will  meet 
in  St.  Louis  on  December  8  when  the 
next  meeting  of  the  National  Board  for 
Jurisdictional  Awards  convenes.  The 
most  important  case  to  come  before 
the  Board  is  the  reinforcing  rod  ques- 
tion. This  work  was  given  to  the 
structural  iron  worker  in  1920,  but  at 
the  last  meeting  of  the  Board  held  at 
Washington  in  August,  a  number  of 
general  contractors  argued  that  in  the 
interests  of  construction  economy,  the 
work  should  be  given  to  the  common 
laborers.  A  number  of  other  important 
cases  will  also  be  presented  to  the 
Board,  among  them  being  the  handling 
of  derricks,  foreman  on  concrete  work, 
precast  reinforced  cement.  conduo 
base,  artificial  stone  and  the  handling 
of    reinforcing    material. 


Reports  of  new  work  contemplated 
and  awarded  in  the  past  month  itidi- 
cate  a  growing  tendency  in  the  build- 
ing industry  to  approach  a  normal, 
stable  basis.  The  dearth  of  specula- 
tive operations  and  the  increasing 
volume  of  commercial,  industrial  and 
educational  projects  reflect  the  favor- 
able attitude  of  investors  and  sub- 
stantial companies  to  the  fall  and 
winter  market,  according  to  the  Record 
and  Guide  publisher  in  New  York. 
Commitments  made  in  the  last  few- 
weeks  show  definitely  that  shortage  m 
various  lines  of  construction  are  grad- 
ually disappearing  and  that  the  supply 
of  office,  loft  and  residential  develop- 
ments is  nearing  a  parity  with  the  de- 
mand. Homes  for  the  wage  earner  of 
small  income  or  means  are  still  re- 
ported short  according  to  the  Record 
and   Guide. 


"That  the  industrial  welfare  of  the 
country  for  the  next  few  months  is  de- 
pendent on  the  continued  activity  of 
the  construction  industry"  is  the 
opinion  of  B.  H.  Wait,  District  Engi- 
neer of  the  Portland  Cement  Associa- 
tion. "We  are  now  approaching  the 
season  in  which  custom  has  long  de- 
creed that  the  builders  must  lay  down 
their  tools  and  wait  for  spring  before 
resuming  them.  That  habit  of  season- 
al employment  in  the  building  industry 
is  archaic,  it  savors  of  the  past  and 
should  be  relegated  to  the  junk  shop 
with  all  other  cumbersome  and  outworn 
methods.  It  building  slows  up  this 
year,  there  is  bound  to  be  slackening 
in  many  other  lines  of  industry,  result- 
ing in  unemployment  and  decrease  of 
purchasing  power  of  employes." 


"So  your  son  has  decided  not  to  go 
into  the  ministry?" 

"Yes,  he  discovered  by  accident  that 
he  had  a   talent   for  brick-laying." 


"Very  little,  if  any.  changes  were 
noticed  in  the  local  building  situation 
during  the  past  month"  states  the 
monthly  bulletin  issued  by  the  Build- 
ing Construction  Employers  Associa- 
tion of  Chicago.  "Nearly  all  mechanics 
in  the  industry  have  been  pretty  well 
employed  though  at  this  writing  there 
appears  to  be  a  perceptible  slowing  up 
and  from  now  on  it  is  doubtful  it  it 
will  be  as  easy  to  get  a  job  as  it  was 
a  year  ago  at  this  time.  It  is  rumored 
in  some  of  the  trades  where  increases 
are  expected  on  November  1st,  they  are 
seriously  considering  the  advisability 
of  foregoing  any  such  claim  and  will 
go  along  with  the  present  rates.  At 
least  one  trade  has  indicated  a  desire 
to  accept  a  reduction  if  such  action 
would  not  be  too  unpopular  with  the 
rank  and  file." 

The  carpenters  employed  by  the 
Longacre  Engineering  and  Construc- 
t-on Company  on  the  Cosmopolitan 
Theatre  and  the  Hotel  Walker  ni 
Washington,  D.  C,  went  on  stri.ke 
October  13,  in  an  endeavor  to  force  the 
contractor  to  allow  them  to  set  the 
metal  window  frames.  It  is  stated 
that  Washington  labor  officials  advised 
the  construction  company  to  replace 
the  striking  carpenters  by  non-union 
men. 


Construction  activities  in  New  York 
will  be  marked  this  fall  and  winter 
with  a  concerted  move  on  the  part  of 
building  agencies  and  trade  and  labor 
groups  for  better  buildings,  says  the 
Record  and  Guide.  This  movement 
will  be  augmented  by  additional  en- 
couragement to  apprentice  :hip  train- 
ing and  the  continued  advocacy  of 
winter  construction.  The  surety  bond 
companies  have  pledged  their  support 
and  state  that  they  will  seeito  it  that  in- 
experienced and  unreliable  contractors 
are  eliminated  as  far  as  possible.  Labor 
condititions  are  becoming  much  better 
in  New  York  and  with  the  possible  e.x- 
cpption  of  tile  setters  and  stearafitters 
there  is  no  shortage  of  skilled  me- 
chanics. 


A  suit  to  enjoin  the  members  of  the 
.Journeymen  Stone  Cutters'  Associa- 
tion from  interfering  with  their  busi- 
ness and  seeking  to  recover  damages 
because  of  injury  to  their  business  due 
to  the  alleged  threatening  of  pur- 
chasers of  their  product,  was  filed  re- 
cently by  twenty-tour  cut  stone  and 
quarry  companies  of  the  Bloomington- 
Bedford  district  in  federal  district 
court.  The  suit  alleged  that  because 
the  companies  refused  to  operate  on  a 
closed  shop  basis  the  union  men  have 
entered  into  a  conspiracy  and  combina- 
tion to  prevent  the  pursuit  of  the  trade 
by  stone  cutters  not  members  of  the 
union,  and  that  they  have  threatened 
contractors  using  stone  produced  in 
non-union   quarries.

Completion  of  the  statewide  survey 
of  California's  water  resources  is  as- 
sured by  March  1,  according  to  State 
Kngineer  A.  C.  McClure  at  Sacramento. 

The  survey  has  been  in  progress 
since  1921,  when  the  State  Legislature 
appropriated  $200,000  for  the  purpose. 
This  sum  being  insufficient,  voluntary 
subscriptions  amounting  to  $100,000 
were  raised  by  the  San  Francisco  and 
Los  Angeles  Chamber  of  Commerce 
and  turned  over  to  the  State  engineer 
last  September. 

It  is  expected  the  subscribers  will  be 
reimbursed  by  the  Legislature  at  its 
1925   session. 

Utilization  of  three  great  water  in- 
terests— flood  control,  irrigation  ind 
power — will  be  made  possible  by  the 
survey. 


REFRIGATORS    IN    1923 


The  Department  ot  Commerce  an- 
nounces that,  according  to  data  col- 
lected at  the  biennial  census  of  manu- 
factures, 1923,  the  establishments  en- 
gaged primarily  in  the  manufacture  of 
refrigerators,  ice  boxes,  and  refrigerat- 
ing show  cases  and  counters  reported 
products  valued  at  $50,076,444,  an  in- 
crease of  51.7  per  cent  as  compared 
with  1921,  the  last  preceding  census 
year. 

Of  the  132  establishments  reporting 
for  1923,  27  were  located  in  New  York, 
11  in  California,  10  each  in  Massachu- 
setts and  Michigan,  9  in  Illinois,  8  each 
in  Missouri  and  Penn.sylvania,  7  each

Information  Wanted 


The  following  letter  to  the  editor 
from  Fox  Bros.  &  Co..  126  Lafayette 
St..  New  York,  is  self  explanatory: 

'"One  of  our  customers  complains 
about  outside  noises  in  his  rooms,  these 
noises  being"  caused  by  elevated  trains. 

■*\Ve  understand  that  there  is  a  cer- 
tain tj'pe  of  ceiling  that  can  be  placed 
in  a  room  which  deadens  any  outside 
sounds,  and  "we  -would  appreciate  it 
very  much,  in  view  of  the  fact  that 
you  are  familiar  with  most  of  the 
mechanics  and  artisans  in  this  line,  if 
you  would  be  good  enough  to  advise 
us  where  such  an  article  can  be  ob- 
tained, or  refer  us  to  a  source  where 
we  can  get  the  necessary  information 
pertaining   thereto. 

"We  do  not  exactly  know  the  con- 
struction of  the  ceiling,  but  we  do 
know  that  there  is  such  a  thing  to  be 
had  which.  if  placed  in  the  room, 
deadens  all  outside  noises." 


Rents    for    Wage-earners'    Houses 

Increase    Slightly    Over    6    Per  Cent 


Rents  for  wage-earners*  houses 
have  increased  slightly  over  6  per  cent 
in  the  period  between  July,  1923,  and 
July,  1924,  according  to  a  September 
report  of  the  National  Industrial  Con- 
ference Board  of  247  Park  Avenue, 
New  York.  The  board  finds  after  a 
comprehensive  survey  of  the  rental 
situation  in  178  cities  that  compared 
with  the  rentals  ot  ten  years  ago, 
rents  are.  86  per  cent  higher.  This 
applies  to  accommodations  of  four  and 
five  unhealed  rooms  with  bath  such  as 
are  usually  occupied  by  wage-earners 
and  does  not  relate  to  more  expensive 
houses  and  apartments.  Despite  the 
fact  that  the  increases  in  rents  for  the 
country  as  a  whole  in  July,  1924,  was 
86  per  cent  higher  than  in  1914,  the  in- 
vestigation by  the  board  shows  that 
there  were  69  cities  which  has  a 
greater  average  increase  than  this  and 
five  cities  where  rents  were  150  per 
cent  higher  than  in  1914.  The  cities  in 
the  latter  group  are  Binghamton,  N. 
Y.;  Johnstown,  Pa.;  Los  Angeles.  Cal. ; 
Richmond,  Ind..  and  Scranton,  Pa. 
Forty-four  cities  reported  average 
rents  as  having  increased  100  per  cent, 
but  less  than  150  per  cent  since  1914. 

For  the  four  months'  period,  March 
to  July,  1924,  no  change  in  rents  was 
reported  from  93  cities;  there  were  de- 
creases in  51  cities  and  increases  in  33. 
The  greatest  number  ot  increases  in 
average  rents  were  reported  from  the 
eastern  section  of  the  country  and  the 
greatest  number  of  decreases  from  the 
middle-western  section.  In  the  east 
there  were  19  cities  where  rents  in- 
creased. The  largest  increase  noted 
in  this  section  was  between  11  per  cent 
and  20  per  cent  in  Johnstown,  Pa. 
Eighteen  other  cities  reported  in- 
creases of  10  per  cent,  amongst  these 
were:  Baltimore,  Boston,  Bridgeport, 
Buffalo,  New  York,  Philadelphia, 
Pittsburgh,     Providence     and     Y'onkers. 


D.ireasi-s  averaging  10  per  cent  or 
less   were   reported   from    10  cities. 

In  the  middle  west  twenty-three 
cities  reported  decreases  in  rents  and 
eight  other  large  cities  an  increase  of 
10  per  cent  or  less.  From  the  South 
the  reports  of  changes  in  rents  indi- 
cated that  there  were  average  de- 
creases between  March  and  July,  1924. 
in  eleven  cities  while  four  reported  in- 
creases. In  the  far  West,  only  two 
cities  reported  Increases  in  rent.  They 
were  San  Francisco  and  Seattle  where 
rents  Increased  10  per  cent  or  less. 

The  survey  made  by  the  board  brings 
out  some  interesting  comparisons  of 
rent  increases  in  relation  to  the  size  of 
cities. 

There  were  eight  cities  of  500,000 
population  or  over  where  average  rents 
increased  not  more  than  10  per  cent; 
two  with  10  per  cent  or  less  decrease, 
and  two  which  reported  no  change.  In 
cities  where  the  population  was  be- 
tween 250,000  and  500,000,  six  had  an 
average  decrease  in  rents  of  10  per 
cent  or  less;  only  two  had  increased  10 
per  cent  or  less;  and  in  Ave  there  was 
no  change'.  In  the  cities  with  a  popu- 
lation of  100,000  to  250,000  there  was 
one  with  an  increase  of  11  per  cent  to 
20  per  cent;  four  with  increases  of  10 
per  cent  or  less;  twelve  with  decreases 
of  10  per  cent  or  less;  and  twenty-six 
where  no  change  in  average  rents  w^as 
indicated.  In  the  cities  with  a  popu- 
lation of  50,000  to  100,000,  thirteen  in- 
creases of  10  per  cent  or  less  were  re- 
ported; two  increases  of  11  per  cent  to 
20  per  cent,  but  decreases  in  this  group 
were  10  per  cent  or  less  in  nineteen 
cities  11  per  cent  to  20  per  cent  in  two 
cities  while  in  thirty-two  cities  no 
change  had  taken  place.  Among  the 
forty-two  cities  with  a  population  of 
less  than  50,000  from  "which  reports 
were  received  by  the  board,  more  than 
one-half  recorded  no  change  in  rents 
during  the  period  from  March  to  July, 
1924. 


Publicity    for    Architects    Urged 


Were  a  member  of  the  architectural 
profession  who  has  won  the  right  to 
sign  himself  Fellow  of  the  American 
Institute,  to  be  approached  by  a  law- 
yer with  the  suggestion  that  he  con- 
struct a  twenty-story  building  with- 
out use  of  steel,  he  very  properly 
would  refuse  the  commission.  With- 
out doubt  he  would  tell  his  lawyer 
friend  that  masonry  construction  is 
entirely  of  the  past  and  that  such  a 
suggestion  argued  a  lack  of  under- 
standing of  modern  construction 
methods  and  practice.  Yet  in  its  pro- 
gram for  publicity  for  the  architec- 
tural profession,  the  committee  of  the 
institute  at  work  upon  that  laudable 
ob.1ect  is  in  much  the  same  position 
as  the  lawyer.  Its  program  of  pub- 
licity presented  to  today's  newspa- 
pers is  quite  out  of  the  question  so 
far  as  a  metropolitan  newspaper  is 
concerned.  It  is  of  the  masonry  con- 
struction period  of  newspaper  making. 
It  lacks,  in  our  opinion,  the  appeal  to 
the  public,  and,  therefore,  to  the  editor 
who  is  appointed  to  make  his  selection 
ot     material     to     interest     his     readers. 


Not  that  we  have  a  great  deal  of  re- 
gard for  much  (we  might  say  most),  ot 
the  material  which  finds  its  vray  into 
the  pages  of  the  newspapers  in  the 
name  of  architecture.  But  ,  we  firmly 
believe,  there  are  men  in  the  profes- 
sion who  have  the  ability  to  prepare 
material  that  will  meet  the  require- 
ments of  the  metropolitan  newspaper. 
The  Chicago  chapter,  through  Mr.  A. 
AVoltersdorf,  is  performing  service  ot 
real  value  to  the  profession  in  his 
series  ot  articles  on  Architecture,  pub- 
lished in  Chicago  newspapers.  The 
function  ot  these  articles  is  to  entice  a 
generally  unthinking  public  to  do 
some  near-thinking  along  architec- 
tural lines.  It  is  not  an  easy  task. 
The  "Pill"  must  be  sufficiently  coated 
to  disguise  its  portent.  Newspapers 
are  ready,  as  has  been  demonstrated, 
to  aid  architects  in  their  educational 
work.  But  the  medium  of  imparting 
intorniation  must  be  in  form,  length 
and  style  such  as  will  impress  and  ap- 
peal to  thoughtful  editors  and  their 
readers.  We  are  in  the  steel  period  of 
newspaper  making. — Western  Archi-

ARCHITECT   SUES  FOR  FEB 


A  petition  for  a  writ  of  mandamus 
has  been  filed  in  the  superior  court  at 
Willows  by  W.  H.  Weeks,  San  Fran- 
cisco architect,  vs.  Ed.  S.  Ball,  as  treas- 
urer of  Glenn  County.  It  is  alleged  by 
petitioner  that  he  entered  into  a  con- 
tract with  the  board  of  school  trustees 
of  the  Plaza  district  "to  prepare  plans 
and  supervise  the  construction  of  a 
new  school  building  and  lor  his  services 


was   to   receive   6   per   cent  ot  the   total 
cost  ot  the   building." 

It  is  also  alleged  that  the  claim, 
which  amounts  to  $367.20,  was  passed 
upon  by  the  board  of  school  trustees, 
a  requistion  drawn  for  the  amount  by 
School  Superintendent  S.  M.  Chaney, 
which  was  marked  "allowed"  by 
County  Auditor  J.  W.  Monroe.  On  pre- 
sentation of  the  warrant,  petitioner 
avers.  County  Treasurer  ISall  refused 
its  payment.

STATE      BUILDS      DESERT     ROAD 

Shifting  sand  hills  of  the  Imperial 
county  desert  which  extend  sixty  miles 
north  of  the  Mexican  border,  are  being 
crossed  at  a  point  where  they  are  six 
miles  wide  by  an  experimental  section 
of  new  roadway  of  redwood  timbers, 
under  the  direction  of  the  state  high- 
way commission. 

The  experimental  unit  is  2000  feet  in 
length,  lialt  of  which  will  be  eighteen 
feet  wide  and  the  other  half  ten  feet 
in  width.  The  new  roadway  consists 
of  6-inch  by  S-inch  planks,  respectively 
10  feet  and  eighteen  feet  in  length, 
laid  on  the  eight-inch  side,  and  sepa- 
rated by  spacers  4  inches  by  6  inches 
by  24  inches  so  placed  as  to  form  a 
continuous  track  for  vehicles.  This 
eighteen-foot  road  is  built  in  sections 
6  feet  in  length  to  facilitate  mainten- 
ance, when  it  becomes  necessary  to  re- 
place worn  planks. 


Fallacious    Use    of    "Percentages" 

in   Discussing   Motor   Vehicle   Taxes 


A  favorite  form  of  propaganda  used 
to  mislead  the  public  with  reference 
to  the  fairness  of  existing  or  proposed 
motor  vehicle  taxes  is  the  "percent- 
age" argument.  Thus  if  it  is  proposed 
to  increase  the  annual  license  fee  on 
a  small  passenger  car  from  $5  to  $10 
some  one  objects  because  this  is  "a  100 
per  cent  increase."  That  same  person 
may  argue  that  it  is  perfectly  all  right 
to  increase  the  license  fee  on  a  5-ton 
truck  from  $75  to  $125  as  that  "is  only 
67  per  cent  increase."  When  a  man 
pays  a  license  fee,  however,  he  doesn't 
pay  in  "percentage;"  he  pays  in  dol- 
lars and  cents  of  lawful  money.  The 
two  increases  selected  above  for  il- 
lustration mean  just  this:  the  man 
with  the  passenger  car  must  pay  $5 
more  than  he  had  been  paying  but  the 
man  with  the  truck  must  dig  up  an 
extra  $50  on  his  license  fee.  Is  $50  to 
the  truck  owner  no  more  than  $5  to 
the  passenger  car  owner?  It  may  be 
doubted.  In  fact  many  a  man  owning 
a  sma-ll  passenger  car  has  much  more 
money  than  many  truck  owners.  Many 
owners  of  5-ton  trucks  haul  for  hire 
on  contract  and  have  pretty  much  of  a, 
struggle  to  malte  a  living.  If  any 
man  doubts  it  let  him  talk  to  gravel 
hauler.'*  and  other  dump  truck  owners. 
Many  of  these  men  have  the  hardest 
kind  of  a  time,  at  prevailing  rates  of 
payment,  in  making  a  bare  living.  The 
public  benefits  from  their  efforts  but 
they  are  poorly  rewarded  for  serving 
the  public. 

Of  course  other  elements  enter  into 
fixing  a  license  fee  than  "ability  to 
pay."  But  "ability  to  pay"  has  been 
the  first  factor  in  fixing  taxes  of  all 
kinds   for   centuries   and   should   not   be 


overlooked  in  fixing  vehicle  license 
fees.  The  object  of  this  editorial,  how- 
evr,  is  not  to  disuss  either  high  fees 
or  low  ones,  for  either  passenger  cars 
or  trucks,  but  to  expose  the  "percent- 
age" fallacy  in  discussing  motor  vehicle 
taxation. 

"Per  cent"  merely  means  "per  hund- 
red." The  term  is  relative  and  not  ab- 
solute. A  low  percentage  may  at  times 
be  a  matter  of  the  greatest  consequence 
and  at  other  times,  or  in  other  con- 
nections a  high  percentage  may  be  a 
matter  of  small  consequence.  A  family 
down  to  its  last  dollar  might  be  dis- 
tressed at  the  loss  of  20  per  cent  of 
it:  a  pitiful  20  cents,  but  enough  for  a 
bottle  of  milk  and  a  loaf  of  bread.  A 
wealthy  man,  on  the  street,  might  lose 
1011  per  cent  of  the  small  change  in  his 
pocket  and  never  know  that  he  lost  it. 
He  still  has  his  well-fllled  bill  fold,  his 
check  book,  a  large  bank  account,  let- 
ters of  credit,  a  prosperous  business,  a 
fine  home,  several  cars  and  a  thousand 
cattle  on  a  thousand  hills.  Need  more 
be  said  to  remind  the  public  that  talk 
of  "percentages"  is  often  misleading 
and  intended   lo  mislead? 

One  who  studies  the  motor  vehicle 
taxation  question  must  expect  to  en- 
counter many  weird  theories  in  his 
ciashes  with  the  Huxley  called  "the 
medley  of  prejudices  we  call  public 
opinion."  Many  theories  and  arguments 
are  interesting,  some  are  diverting, 
some  fascinating,  some  amusing,  some 
are  sound  and  helpful,  but  this  percent- 
age "ga^g,"  as  Boccacio  said  in  another 
connection,  "irketh  us  sorely."  Let  us 
talk  about  what  is  right  and  fair,  in 
dollars  and  cents,  and  lay  off  the 
"percentages." — Nevada  State  High-

Commerce   Department   Head    Shows 

Builder   New    Source    for    Profit 


"Tomorrow's  profits  must  come  f  i  om 
today's  wastes,"  declared  Rav  M.  Hud- 
son, chief  of  the  Division  ot  Simplified 
Practice,  U.  S.  Department  of  Com- 
merce, to  an  audience  of  representa- 
tives of  the  building  industry,  com- 
prising the  New  Jersey  Building  Con- 
gress,  meeting  in  Newark  recently. 

"When  the  Hoover  Committee  on  the 
Elimination  of  Waste  in  Industry  made 
an  expert  survey  of  six  of  our  major 
industries,  it  found  that  the  building 
industry  stood  in  fourth  place,  with 
53  per  cent  waste,"  he  continued. 
"Thirty-four  per  cent  was  chargeable 
to  management,  and  one  of  the  major 
causes  is  lack  of  simplification  and 
standardization  in  materials,  methods, 
machinery  and  so  on. 

"Think  what  this  means,  when  you 
consider  that  more  than  five  billions  of 
dollars  are  spent  annually  iii  con- 
struction   in    this    country. 

"The  Department  of  Commerce, 
through  the  Division  of  Simplified 
Practice,  is  endeavoring  to  help  the 
bufilding  industry  in  checking  this 
waste.  It  is  helping  to  bring  about 
the  reduction  of  unnecessary  variety  in 
sizes  and  dimensions  and  other  im- 
material differences  in  every  day  com- 
modities. It  is  not  standardization, 
nor  is  it  technical  but  it  is  based  on 
sound    economice. 

"Our  Division  has  co-operated  with 
the  producers,  distributors,  architects, 
engineers,  contractors  in  simplification 
projects  in  the  field  of  building.  Sixty 
per  cent  of  the  variety  in  finished 
sizes  of  soft  lumber:  81  per  cent  of 
the  variety  in  metal  lath;  98  per  cent 
of  the  variety  in  brick  sizes;  47  per 
cent  in  hollow  building  tile,  and  51  per 
cent  of  the  variety  in  roofing  slate  have 
been  eliminated;  and  this  action  has 
been  taken  by  all  groups  concerned. 

"This   co-operation   between   Govern- 


ment and  Industry  contains  nothing 
regulatory  or  inquisitorial.  Our  job 
is  to  help  such  groups  as  are  interested 
in  reducing  waste  to  get  the  facts  and 
to   put   their   action   into   practice. 

"Many  of  the  18,000  or  more  business 
failures  in  1922  were  due  to  frozen 
capital,  due  to  excessive  stocks  or  in- 
ventories resulting  from  carrying  too 
many  varieties  of  the  same  thing. 
Simplification  helps  release  frozen 
capital,  helps  keep  stocks  liquid  an# 
turning       faster.  Reducing       variety 

means  quantity  production  and  lower 
costs;  and  quantity  buying  means 
lower  prices,  enabling  both  manufac- 
turer, distributor  and  consumer  to  do 
business  on  a  quantity  basis. 

"You  have  the  opportunity  to  make 
further  savings  by  buying  standardiz- 
ed materials,  by  applying  the  recom- 
mendations given  in  the  engineer's  re- 
port entitled  'Waste  in  Industry'  and 
in  the  more  recent  report  on  'Seasonal 
Operation  in  the  Construction  Indus- 
tries.' To  keep  things  on  an  even 
keel  you  have  to  do  business  on  a 
quantity  basis,  cut  out  the  wastes, 
operate  your  business  so  you  can  give 
full  value  for  the  prices  you  ask,  and 
still  make  a  fair  profit.  Y'ou  can  do 
this  in  proportion  to  the  extent  you 
co-operate  in  support  of  the  simpli- 
fied practice  recommendations  cover- 
ing building  materials,  equipment  and 
supplies. 

'■Simplification  Is  an  important  fac- 
tor in  the  continued  success  of  Ameri- 
can industry,  and  we  hope  that  you 
will  put  it  to  work  in  your  field,  not 
because  we  suggest  it,  but  because  you 
see  in  it  greater  opportunities  for  you 
all,    individually    and    collectively."

In  the  usual  method  of  concrete  pil- 
ing, it  Is  the  custom  to  manufacture 
the  piles  some  six  or  eight  weeks,  at 
least,  prior  to  use  to  allow  of  them  hard- 
ening sufficiently,  after  which  they  are 
driven  by  a  pile  driver  exactly  as  tim- 
ber piles  would  be.  Piling  work  carried 
out  on  this  system  has  the  advantages 
of  durability  and  sustaining  power  pe- 
culiar to  all  concrete  pile  foundations, 
but  the  delay  before  the  piles  can  be 
driven,  the  space  required  for  manu- 
facture and  storage  of  the  piles,  the 
slow  and  noisy  work  of  the  pile-driver, 
the  vibration  of  the  soil,  the  danger 
of  injuring  the  newly  made  piles  In 
transportation  or  by  excessive  driving, 
all  constitute  drawbacks  to  the  process. 
An  alternative  to  the  method  consists 
In  the  manufacture  of  concrete  piles  in 
position  in  the  ground.  An  iron  pipe  Is 
first  sunk  either  by  driving  or  boring, 
and  concrete  is  then  rammed  in.  The 
pipe  is  sometimes  left  in  position,  but 
there  is  always  the  danger  of  the  pile 
being  loosened  by  the  pipe  rusting 
away,  and  it  is  preferable  to  withdraw 
tlie  pipe  at  the  time  the  pile  is  made. 
The  concrete  is  introduced  in  layers 
and  is  tamped  by  a  rammer  sliding  in 
the  pipe.  During  ramming,  the  pipe  is 
gradually  raised,  never,  or  course,  be- 
ing withdrawn  above  the  level  of  the 
concrete,  and  the  effect  of  the  ram- 
ming is  to  force  the  concrete  into  the 
surrounding  soil,  thus  greatly  increas- 
ing the  bearing  power. 

The  advantages  of  piles  manufac- 
tured in  this  way  are  many.  Work  can 
be  started  at  once  and  without  causing 
annoyance  by  smoke,  noise  or  vibra- 
tion. The  piles  can  be  applied  in  the 
immediate  vicinity  of  inhabited  build- 
ings and  for  underpinning  existing 
structures  on  insecure  foundations, 
while  by  using  short  lengths  of  pipe 
screwed  together,  they  can  be  sunk 
inside  covered  or  confined  spaces. 
Moreover,  they  are  cheap,  and  work 
is  rapid  as  a  number  of  piles  may  be 
put  in  simultaneously.  It  is  obvious 
however,  that  they  can  only  be  rein- 
forced with  iron  to  a  very  limited  ex- 
tent as  the  process  of  ramming  would 
be  obstructed  by  such  reinforcement  as 
would  be  desirable.  A  further  diffi- 
culty with  such  piles  arises  from  the 
presence  of  subsoil  water.  During  the 
ramming  process,  this  water  can  enter 
the  raw  concrete  and  there  is  a  great 
liability  of  the  cement  being  washed 
out,  not  only  at  the  foot  of  the  pile, 
but  throughout  its  entire  submerged 
length.

rammed  concrete  pile  without  its  draw- 
backs, the  Pressure  Piling  Company

lation of  figures  completed  by  Build-

mary shows  that  there  were  approxi- 
mately $400,000  in  permits  for  1919,

W.  I.  are  Introducing  a  system  In  which 
the  concrete  Is  consolidated  by  means 
of  compressed  air.  The  piles  are  made 
in  heavy  boring  tubes,  of  10,  12,  16  and 
20-ln.  Internal  diameter.  The  lowest 
carries  a  cutting  edge,  and  the  top 
section  can  be  closed  by  a  blank 
flange.  The  working  lengths  of  the 
tubes  arc  from  6  ft.  to  12  ft.  Sinking 
is  done  in  the  usual  way  by  means  of 
boring  tackle  the  tube  at  the  same  time 
being  forced  down.  When  the  required 
depth  has  been  reached,  the  reinforce- 
ment which  may  be  of  any  type,  is  in- 
serted. The  top  of  the  tube  is  then 
closed  by  the  flange  mentioned,  this 
flange  carrying  certain  pipe  connec- 
tions a  pressure  pipe  descends  to  the 
bottom  of  the  tube.  A  second  connec- 
tion admits  compressed  air  to  the  in- 
terior of  the  tube,  which  forces  the 
subsoil  water  out  of  the  tube  and  out 
of  the  earth  surrounding  its  lower  end. 
Cement  mortar  is  then  forced  in 
through  the  pressure  pipe  until  the 
tube  is  filled  to  a  level  sufficient  to 
balance  the  subsoil  water.  The  flow 
of  cement  is  then  stopped,  and  air  at 
a  pressure  of  140  lbs.  per  square  inch 
admitted  through  a  third  connection  in 
the  top  cover.  This  forces  some  of  the 
cement  out  of  the  lower  end  of  the 
tube  and  drives  it  into  the  surrounding 
soil,  thus  forming  a  club-foot  for  pile. 
.So  effective  is  this  method,  that  piles 
which  have  been  dug  out  have  had  a 
foot  over  two  and  a  hall  times  the 
diameter  of  the  pile,  thus  enormously 
increasing  the  sustaining  power  of  the 
latter. 

After  the  foot  end  of  the  pile-  has 
been  made,  the  pressing  of  cement  into 
the  tube  is  continued.  Finally,  the  tube 
is  withdrawn.  This  is  not  done  mechan- 
ically, but  is  effected  simply  by  in- 
creasing the  air  pressure  until  the  tube 
slips  upward  over  the  core.  During  this 
operation  the  high  air  pressure  not 
only  causes  the  concrete  to  fill  imme- 
diately the  annular  space  left  by  the 
tube,  but  also  drives  the  concrete  into 
any  cavities  or  yielding  places  in  the 
earth  down  the  side  of  the  bore.  The 
consequence  is  that  the  frictional  grip 
of  the  sides  of  the  piles  is  greatly  in- 
creased. Furthermore,  the  method  of 
withdrawing  the  pipe,  and  the  pressure 
of  the  air  on  top  of  the  concrete, 
prevent  any  tearing  of  the  latter.  The 
new  system  appears  to  offer  consider- 
able practical  advantages,  not  only  by 
facilitating  the  construction  of  thor- 
oughly-sound piles  with  full  reinforce- 
ment, and  by  providing  them  with  ef- 
fective end  and  side  resistance  to  mo- 
tion, but  by  enabling  piling  to  be  car- 
ried out  under  conditions  which  pre- 
clude the  use  of  any  other  method. 


business  shows  seven  permits  issued 
tor  a  total  amount  of  $26,190. 

The  total  for  the  five  months  of  1919 
was  sixty  permits  with  building  con- 
struction   amounting   to    $194,256. 

Last  year's  total  was  489  permits 
amounting,  to  $1,969,682,  and  the 
previous  year  was  more  than  $2,000,- 
000.  Both  these  figures  compare  fav- 
orably with  the  estimate  for  the  pres- 
ent year,  which  is  more  than  $1,800,- 
000  for  the  past  ten  months. 

The  tabulation  of  annual  totals  since 
the  establishment  of  the  office  in 
August.  1919,  follows:  Tear  1919,  60 
permits,  $194,256;  year  1920,  142  per- 
mits. $422,672:  year  1921,  214  permits, 
$796,492;  year  1922,  471  permits,  $2,- 
198,869,  and  year  1923,  489  permits,  $1,-

SANDY   PRATT   would   like. 

TO   TELL. 

ABOUT    HIS    boyhood    experience. 

DOWN  IN  Tulare. 

AS  A  Hallowe'en  hound. 

WELL,   OLD  Capt.  Phillips. 

CLAIMED  TO  be  a  veteran.

BUT   THE  G.   A.   R.   boys. 

SAID  THESE  were  not  credentials. 

TO   JOIN   their   lodge. 

BUT   HE  dressed  up. 

MEDALS  AND   all. 

JUST  THE  same. 

AND  PARADED  with  them. 

NOW,  CAPT.  Phillips. 

OWNED  A  two-horse  wagon.

CAI'TAIN    PHILLIPS    paraded. 
UP  AND  down  the  street. 

WITH   HIS   blue   uniform.

HE   WAS   ready.

TO   CALL. 

OUT  THE  State  Militia. 

FOR  THE  sheriff.

WOULD   NOT  act  promptly. 

IT  TOOK   the  school  board. 

OVER  TWO  days. 

TO  REMOVE  the  wagon. 

TH.\T  THE   hoys  put  up. 

IN  SIX  hours. 

.\XD   IX    the    investigation. 

THAT    CAPT.    Phillips    demanded. 

NO   SCHOOL  boy   was   suspended.

ing Co.,  Inc.,  of  San  Francisco,  manufacturers  of  electrical  safety  switches,  with 
the  firm  of  Brown  and  Pengilly,  2114  East  Ninth  street,  Los  Anj);eles.  The  latter

will  manufacture  and  distribute  in  conjunction  with  the  Los  Angeles  firm  all 
switchboards  and  panels  in  the  northern  section  of  California. 


The  panels  asd  switchboards  are  well  known

cent  of  the  office  buildings,  theatres,  clubs  and 
hotels  erected  within  the  past  few  years  have 
been  equipped  with  the  Brown  and  Pengilly  in- 
stallations. 

Among  the  more  important  installations  re- 
cently completed  in  the  Southern  California  sec- 
tion is  the  Biltmore  Hotel  in  Los  Angeles.  Other 
large  installations  include  Grauman's  Metropolitan

versity Club,   Pacific  Mutual   Building  and   other 


notable  structures  have  been  equipped  with  the 
Brown  and  Pengilly  switch  and  panel  boards. 

The  materials  used  in  the  manufacture  of  the 
boards  are  of  the  highest  quality.  G.  E.  Toggle 
switches  and  Johns-Manville  Ebony  boards  are 
used  in  the  manufacture.  The  products  are  in- 
spected and  ajinroved  by  the  National  Board  of

Al»DlTIOXAL   SPACK  PROVIDED   FOR 
AiMKHIfArV    ROAD    SHOW 


More  space  for  the  road  show,  a 
coTivt-ntion  proicram  which  discusses 
every  angle  of  road  construction  and 
maintenance,  and  a  series  ot  entertain- 
ments that  will  e'liminate  any  possi- 
bility of  idle  time  have  been  provided 
liy  the  American  Koad  Builders'  As- 
fuciation  for  its  annual  Kathering  at 
Chicago  .January   5th  to  9th  next. 

At  present  the  list  ot  applications 
for  exhibition  space  in  the  Coliseum 
and  adjoining  buildings  includes  more 
than  200  manufacturers  of  r.;ad  build- 
ing ci.iu*pmciit.  This  is  a  greater 
number  than  had  applied  at  this  time 
lust  year  or  in  previous  years,  and  by 
the  time  the  allotment  of  space  is  made 
on  November  10th.  it  is  expected  that 
the  previous  record  tor  the  total  num- 
l.ei-  of  exhiliitors  will  have  been  passed. 
Tbp  increased  space,  in  addition  to 
making  it  possible  to  accommodate  a 
.;reau  r  number  of  exhibitors,  will  offer 
•in  opportunity  for  larger  and  more  at- 
tractive exhibitions  than  have  been 
Ijos.sible  in  the  last  few  years. 

The  convention  program  has  been 
prepared  by  Prof.  T.  R.  Agg  who  has 
long  been  identified  with  road  build- 
ing in  the  United  States.  Some  ot 
Ihose  who  are  expected  to  speak  are; 
A.  H.  Hinkle,  Maintenance  Kngineer, 
Indianapolis  Highway  Department;  W. 
H.  Connell,  Engineering  Executive  and 
lieputy  i^'ecretary  of  Highways  for 
I'ennsylvania;  C.  H.  Conner,  State  Con- 
struction Engineer  for  North  Carolina; 
Charles  M.  Upham,  Director,  Advisory 
Board  on  Highway  Research;  Arthur 
H.  Blanchard,  Professor  of  Highway 
Engineering  and  Highway  Transport; 
Prevost  Hubbard,  Chemical  Engineer. 
The  Asphalt  Association,  and  Plarry 
D.  Robbins,  Division  Engineer,  New 
•  leisey  State  Highway  Department. 
Other  names  will  be  added  to  the  list 
within  the  next  few  weeks. 

The  entertainment  of  the  delegates 
and  other  visitors  is  again  in  charge 
of  A.  C.  Cronkrite  who  has  arranged  a 
stag  party  on  Tuesday,  January  6th, 
and  an  informal  supper  and  dance  at 
the  Club  Chez  Pierre  on  Thursday,  Jan- 
uary 8th.  The  annual  banquet  ot  the 
American  Road  Builders'  Association 
also  will  be  held  during  the  Conven- 
tion. 

The  Road  Show,  as  has  previously 
been  announced,  will  again  be  in 
charge  of  C.  M.  Upham,  Business  Di- 
rector of  the  Association.  He  will 
open    headquarters      at    the      Congress 


Fire-Safe    and    Incombustible 

Buildings  Ruled  on  at  New  Orleans 


New  Orleans  is  the  latest  city  to  free 
itself  from  the  error  ot  confusing  pro- 
tection from  fire  with  the  use  of  non- 
combustible  building  materials.  Not- 
withstanding the  disastrous  fires  that 
frequently  occur  in  so-called  fireproof 
buildings,  many  cities  have  made  the 
mistalie  of  prohibiting  slow-burning 
construction  in  certain  districts,  in 
spite  of  the  fact  that  experience  has 
dLUionslrated  that  the  fire  loss  risk  may 
be  less  with  the  latter  than  with  cer- 
tain types  of  structures  ot  incombus- 
tible materials. 

On  September  23  the  Commission 
Council  of  New  Orleans,  according  to 
a  statement  by  the  Research  Bureau  of 
the  National  Lumber  Manufacturers 
Association,  unanimously  adopted  an 
amendment  to  the  present  building 
ordinance  which  permits  the  erection 
of  standard  mill-construction  building 
to  a  height  of  five  storie.s.  or  6.=i  feet, 
within  the  existing  so-called  fireproof 
zone,  providing  such  buildings  are 
equipped  with  sprinkler  systems.  This 
action  was  recommended  by  the 
Councl's  Advisory  Committee  on  Build- 
ing Code  Revision  made  up  of  repre- 
sentatives of  the  New  Orleans  Associa- 
tion of  Commerce,  the  Real  Estate  and 
Homestead  League,  the  General  Con- 
tractors Association,  the  American  In- 
stitute ot  Architects,  and  the  Louisi- 
ana Fire   Prevention   Bureau. 

The  area  affected  is  the  equivalent  of 
about  fifty-five  major  city  blocks. 
Heretofore,  the  only  non-fireproof 
liuiliiings  permitted  within  that  ter- 
ritory have  been  buildings  limited  to 
one  story  in  height  with  a  ground  area 
not  exceeding  5,000  square  feet,  and 
two-st'ory  buildings  wdth  a  ground 
area  of  not  more  than  3,500  square  feet. 
The  value  of  most  of  the  property  in 
the  area  affected  is  too  great  to  per- 
mit of  its  utilization  for  low  build- 
ing.s  and  the  types  of  construction  for- 
merly   required    for    the    higher    build- 


ings  was  for  various  economic  reasons 
undesirable.  These  regulations  have 
prevailed  for  at  least  fourteen  years. 
Within  this  former  ■•fireproof  region 
there  are  many  aged  buildings  which 
are  sorely  in  need  of  repair,  and  many 
which  should  be  reconstructed  Oor 
the  accommodation  of  modern  indus- 
trial operations,  but  the  cost  of  reno- 
\'ation  or  replacement  was  prohibitive 
under  the  former  regulations. 

Under  the  amendment,  a  mill-con- 
struction factory  building  can  be 
erected  in  this  zone  at  an  investment 
cost  that  will  make  it  profitable,  and 
this  without  in  any  way  jeopardizing 
the  protection  of  the  district  from 
disastrous  fires.  As  a  result  the  recla- 
mation of  an  extensive  "run  down  "  dis- 
trict is  now  predicted.  Such  reclama- 
tion has  been  similarly  effected  in 
other  progressive  cities. 

It  is  more  and  more  coming  to  be 
understood  in  cities  that  under  some 
conditions  certain  types  of  lumber  con- 
struction are  fully  as  fire-safe  as  cer- 
tain other  types  of  buildings  construct- 
ed entirely  of  incombustible  material. 
The  reason  is  that  the  principal  fire 
hazards  come  not  from  the  type  of  con- 
struction but  from  the  occupancy  or 
contents.  Combustible  materials 
stored  in  fireproof  buildings  will  burn 
as  freely  as  in  slow-burning  buildings. 
Structural  materials  that  will  them- 
selves not  burn  are  often  so  weakened 
by  the  fire,  in  the  way  ot  warping, 
disintegration,  cracking,  contraction, 
and  expansion  that  a  building  made  of 
them  will  sonittimes  collapse  before 
the  fire  is  extinguished,  whereas  un- 
der similar  conditions  a  slow-burning 
lumber-construction  building  will  hold 
up  until  the  fire  is  under  control. 
.Moreover,  the  salvage  value  of  such  a 
building  is  generally  greater  than  that 
of  a  burned  and  wrecked  fireproof 
building. 


Hotel  a  month  or  more  before  the  con- 
vtntion  starts.  All  applications  in  re- 
gard to  space  and  other  details  should 
be   addressed  to  him  there. 


Proposed  city  manager  form  ot 
government  for  Fresno  was  defeated  at 
the    recent    election    by   a   vote    of    2    to 


Convention  of  city  building  inspec- 
tors of  the  State  -will  be  held  in  Stock- 
ton, November  20. 

City  of  Palo  Alto  plans  early  crea- 
tion of  a  building  inspector's  office.  The 
move  was  prompted  by  the  Builders' 
Association  of  Palo  Alto  of  which  E.  C. 
Jacobsen   is  president.

Road  Building 
Far  Behind  the 
Automobile 


Millions  now  recognize  the  automobile  as  a  necessity.  It 
is  no  longer  a  luxury  ior  the  few.  Sixty  per  cent  of  its  use 
is  for  business. 

Because  of  tliis  the  modern  paved  highway  has  become 
an  economic  necessity. 

Yet  although  the  mileage  of  Gsncrete  Roads  and  Streets 
has  been  steadily  increasing,  our  highway  system  today  lags 
far  behind  the  automobile.  The  great  majority  of  our  high- 
ways are  as  out  of  date  as  the  single-track,  narrow  gauge 
railway  of  fifty  years  ago. 

Such  a  condition  not  only  seriously  handicaps  the  progress 
of  the  automobile  as  a  comfortable,  profitable  means  of  trans- 
portation, but  also  holds  back  commercial,  industrial  and  agri- 
cultural advancement  in  practically  every  section  of  the  coun- 
try'. It  is  costing  taxpayers  millions  of  dollars  annually. 

Highway  building  should  be  continued  and  enlarged  upon. 

Your  highway  authorities  are  ready  to  carry  on  their  share 
of  this  great  public  work.  But  they  must  have  your  support. 
Tell  them  you  are  ready  to  invest  in  more  and  wider 
Concrete  Highways  now.

DANDIE  Light  Mixer 


Dandie  with  steel  disc  wheels  and  solid 

rubber     tires;     power     charging     skip, 

water   tank   and    gasoline   engine. 


EQUIP  it  to  your  special  needs.  Rubber 
tires  to  save  the  time  waste  of  be- 
tween-job hauls,  and  to  expand  your 
working  territory.  Light  duty  hoist.  Low 
charging  platform  or  power  charging  skip. 
Automatic  water-measuring  tank. 
Most  important,  you  can  be  sure  of  full 
capacity — utmost  reliability — and  long 
service  life — because  this  mixer  is  Koeh- 
ring  built,  engineered  and  constructed  to 
out  work,  out  last  anything  in  the  light 
mixer  field.    Price?    Not  the  lowest  price 


Dandie  with  steel  trucks;  power  eharg- 
ing     skip,     water     tank     and     gasoline

LOWER    PRICES    FOR    LUMBER    AND 
STEEL  NOTED  IN  SURVEY 


Lower  steel  and  lumber  prices  re- 
duced the  construction  cost  index 
number  (or  the  month  ending  Novem- 
ber 6,  Engineering  News-Record,  New 
York,  reports.  The  number,  which  i.s 
ba.sed  on  costs  statistics  covering 
common  labor,  steel,  lumber  and  ce- 
ment quotations  throughout  the  United 
States,  registers  205.70,  as  against 
207.55  for  the  construction  month  end- 
ing October  2.  The  Nationwide  aver- 
age rate  for  common  labor  remains  at 
56  cents  an  hour. 

General  construction  costs,  the  index 
number  computations  show,  is  7  per 
cent  lower  than  for  the  same  period  a 
year  ago;  25  per  cent  under  the  peak, 
which  came  in  June,  1920,  and  106  per 
cent  above  the   1013  level. 

In  the  general  materials  market 
structural  steel  showed  an  upward 
trend  for  the  first  time  since  March. 
Current  mill  quotations  include  rein- 
forcing bars,  $2;  shapes,  $1.80  and  J2 
.  per  100  pounds  f.  o.  b.  Pittsburg,  and 
'  plates,    $1.60    and    $1.90. 

Crushed  stone  advanced  10  cents  a 
ton  in  Boston,  with  no  other  changes 
reported.  Gravel  was  firmer  in  New 
York,  Boston  and  Kansas  City  districts. 

Lumber  production,  shipments  and 
demand  are  all  below  a  year  ago.  Mill 
prices,  however,  hold  firm.  Common 
brick  rose  $1  per  thousand  in  New 
York  City  in  the  month  just  ended. 
The  present  level  is  $18,  against  $17 
delivered  at  job  site.  Slight  easing  in 
lime  prices  is  reported  in  New  York, 
Boston,  San  Francisco,  Minneapolis  and 
Kansas   City. 


"We  pi-edlct  a  period  of  prosperity 
that  will  compare  favorably  with  any 
previous  trade  expansion  era.  Certain- 
ly this  Is  the  time  to  expand  your  busi- 
ness program."  Such  is  the  statement 
Issued  by  the  Literary  Digest,  follow- 
InK   a    national   business   survey. 

Practically  every  factor  making  for 
national  prosperity  Is  favorable,  the 
statement  indicates,  and  citizens  are 
justified  In  planning  their  business 
accordingly,  according  to  the  survey. 

"The  farmers  have  had  an  increase 
In  purchasing  power  estimated  at  a 
billion  dollars  annually,"  the  report 
states.  "The  reparations  settlement 
opens  up  foreign  trade  to  American 
Industry.  There  is  an  abundance  of 
Investment  capital  and  more  than 
$100,000,000  worth  of  new  bonds  a 
week   have   been   sold  during  1924. 

"An  ebbing  tide  of  gold  shipments 
to  the  United  States  is  indicated  in 
the  current  review  of  the  Federal  Re- 
serve bank  and  our  wonderful  Federal 
Reserve  system  stands  as  a  check  to 
infiation   and   speculation." 

The  story  of  business  activity  is 
told  by  recent  car  loading  statements, 
which  show  the  largest  total  on  record, 
according  to  the  survey.  Increases  in 
bank  clearings  and  better  conditions  in 
employment  are  further  barometers  of 
prosperity. 

In  making  this  prediction  of  pros- 
perity, the  Literary  Digest  cites  the 
accuracy  of  its  presidential  poll  as 
an  indication  of  the  accuracy  of  its 
statement  of  business  conditions.  Its 
straw  ballot,  which  indicated  the  over- 
whelming victory  of  President  Cool- 
idge,  reached  16,000,000  voters,  it  states, 
and  in  making  a  prediction  of  prosper- 
ity it  declares  it  has  been  as  thorough 
as  it  was  in   tl^   presidential  poll. 


WINDOW-DOOR  SCREEIV    PRODUCED 


The  Department  of  Commerce  an- 
nounces that  according  to  data  col- 
lected at  the  biennial  census  of  manu- 
factures, 1923,  the  establishments  en- 
gaged primarily  in  the  manufacture  of 
window  and  door  screens  reported  pro- 
ducts to  the  value  of  $18,094,786,  and 
those  whose  principal  products  were 
weather  strips  reported  an  output 
valued  at  $3,161,362,  making  a  total  of 
$21,477,142  for  the  industry.  This  total 
represents  an  increase  of  76.6  per  cent 
as  compared  with  1921,  the  last  preced- 
ing census  year. 

In  addition,  windoiv  and  door  screens 
and  weather  strips  are  manufactured 
to  some  extent  as  secondary  products 
by  establishments  engaged  primarily 
in  other  industries.  The  value  of  such 
commodities  thus  produced  outside 
the  industry  proper  in  1921  was  $865,- 
688,  an  amount  equal  to  7.2  per  cent  of 
the  total  value  of  products  reported 
for  the  industry  as  classified.  The 
corresponding  value  for  1923  has  not 
yet  been  ascertained  but  will  be  shown 
in  the  final  reports  of  the  present 
census. 

Of  the  165  establishments  reporting 
for  1923,  30  were  located  in  Illinois,  14 
each  in  Massachusetts  and  Pennsyl- 
vania, 12  each  in  Michigan  and  New 
York,  10  each  in  California  and  Ohio, 
9  in  Missouri,  6  in  New  Jersey,  5  each 
in  Louisiana  and  Texas,  4  each  in  In- 
diana, Kentucky  and  Maryland,  and 
the  remaining  26  in  17  other  states. 


That  oil  paint  applied  to  the  surface 
of  fresh  lime  plaster  has  a  decided 
tendency  to  hinder  the  setting  of  such 
plaster  is  one  of  the  conclusions  drawn 
from  a  series  of  tests  made  by  the 
Commerce  Department's  Bureau  of 
Standards.  The  setting  of  the  plaster 
results  from  the  absorbtlon  of  carbon 
dioxide  from  the  air  and  the  resulting 
change  of  the  hydroxide,  or  slaked 
lime,  into  limestone. 

This  absorbtlon  of  carbon  dioxide  Is 
very  greatly  hampered  by  the  paint 
film,  the  bureau  finds.  It  is  retarded,  but 
not  seriously,  by  a  finish  coat,  and  takes 
place  more  rapidly  in  lean  mortars 
than  in  rich.  The  combination  of  a 
finish  coat  with  a  film  of  oil  paint  on 
top  of  it  was  subsequently  tried,  and 
was  found  to  prevent  the  absorbtlon  of 
carbon  dioxide  almost  entirely,  cubes 
of  plaster  in  this  way  showing  no  ap- 
preciable penetration  of  carbon  dioxide 
after  a  period   of  six  months. 

In  all,  144  two  inch  cubes  were  made 
for  the  sets.  Four  different  types  of 
lime  were  used,  and  the  mortars  were 
made  in  three  different  proportions  of 
sand  and  lime.  Twelve  cubes  were 
made  for  each  mortar,  of  which  four 
were  left  as  molded,  four  were  covered 
with  a  white  finish  coat,  and  four  were 
covered  with  an  oil  paint.  One-fourth 
of  the  cubes  were  tested  each  month 
to  determine  the  condition  of  the  lime 
and  the  amount  of  carbon  dioxide  ab- 
sorbed. 


LUMBER    MOVEMENT    STEAJJY 


Lumber  production  continues  to  fall 
off,  says  the  National  Lumber  Manu- 
facturers Association,  while  shipments 
and  new  business  sliow  an  increase,  as 
compared  with  the  preceding  week, 
according  to  reports  received  from  367 
of  the  chief  commercial  softwood  mills 
of  the  country  for  the  week  ending 
November    1. 

The  unfilled  orders  of  248  Southern 
Pine  and  West  Coast  mills  at  the  end 
of  last  week  amounted  to  550,399,613 
feet,  as  against  536,801,681  feet  for 
249  mills  the  previous  week.  The  130 
Southern  Pine  mills  in  this  group 
showed  unfilled  orders  of  226,367,750 
feet  at  the  end  of  last  week,  and  228,- 
825,100  feet  for  130  mills  the  preceding 
week.  F'or  118  West  Coast  mills  the 
unfilled  orders  were  324,031,863  feet, 
as  against  307,976,581  feet  for  119  mills 
a  week  earlier. 

Of  the  367  comparably  reporting 
mills,  last  week's  shipments  were  105 
per  cent  and  orders  102  per  cent  of 
actual  production.  For  the  Southern 
Pine  mills  by  themselves  these  per- 
centages were  114  and  111,  respective- 
ly; and  lor  the  West  Coast  group  97 
and  95. 

Of  the  foregoing  mills  343  have  a 
d'itermined  normal  production  for  the 
week  of  217,959.351  feet,  according  to 
which  actual  production  was  97  per 
cent,  shipments  99  per  cent,  and  orders 
98    per   cent    of    normal    producttion. 


The  upward  trend  of  wages  In  the 
construction  industry,  which  was 
checked  for  the  first  time  in  over  two 
years  during  August,  1924,  showed  a 
tendency  to  weaken  still  further  in 
September.  This  condition  was  brought 
about  largely  by  contractors  refusing 
to  longer  pay  bonuses  to  some  of  the 
trades  where  the  greatest  shortages 
have  been.

ALONG  THE  LINE 


THE  OBSERVER 

WHAT  HE  HEARS  AND  SEES  ON  HIS  ROUNDS 


Los  Angeles,  during  the  month  of 
October,  1924,  reports  the  issuance  of 
4312  building  permits  for  improvements 
costing  $11,057,277.  For  the  same 
period  in  1923  the  number  of  permits 
issued  was  6632  with  an  estimated 
valuation  of  $20,541,872.  For  October, 
1922  the  number  of  permits  issued  was 
4951  with  an  estimated  valuation  of 
$11,580,427.  Compared  with  September, 
1924  the  October  total  shows  a  de- 
crease of  $2,033,190.  Housing  opera- 
tions for  October,  1924,  were  represent- 
ed by  1583  permits  for  dwellings  and 
apartments  with  an  estimated  valua- 
tion of  $6,570,964  or  36.7  per  cent  of 
the  entire  number  of  permits  and  59.4 
per  cent  of  the  entire  valuation  for  the 
month.  These  buildings  will  provide 
accommodations  for  2252  families. 

Francis  Cuttle  of  Riverside,  Calif.,  a 
member  of  the  State  Forestry  Board, 
predicts  complete  exhaustion  of  the  na- 
tion's timber  resources,  with  a  conse- 
quent depletion  of  soil  and  general  de- 
moralization of  economic  conditions, 
is  in  store  for  the  United  States  unless 
more  drastic  forest  conservation  meas- 
ures are  adopted.  Cuttle  cites  the  fact 
that  timber  of  all  kinds  in  the  United 
States  is  disappearing  nearly  five  times 
as  fast  as  it  is  growing,  while  soft 
wood  timber  is  being  cut  down  at  a 
rate  eight  times  as  fast  as  its  growth. 


To  apprise  employers  and  employes 
of  the  newest  safety  first  devices  in 
use,  the  three  members  of  the  In- 
dustrial Accident  Commission  have 
mapped  out  a  campaign  in  which  each 
will  deliver  addresses  to  industrial 
groups  on  the  subject.  In  Northern 
California,  President  John  A.  McGill- 
vray  and  J.  Bmmett  Almstead  will  ad- 
dress employes  in  labor  unions,  at 
factories,  new  building  projects  and  in 
business  establishments,  while  Com- 
missioner John  Carrigan  will  do  like- 
wise  in  Southern  California. 

A  bill  to  increase  the  state  gasoline 
tax  from  2  cents  to  3  cents  a  gallon 
will  be  introduced  when  the  California 
State  Legislature  convenes.  Senator 
Arthur  Breed  of  Oakland  announces. 
Senator  Breed  declares  the  additional 
1  cent  tax  would  add  $6,000,000  to  $7,- 
000,000  revenue.  He  also  states  a  pro- 
posal would  also  probably  be  made  to 
increase  the  license  fee  by  $2,  so  that 
the  Highway  Commission  might  have 
approximately  $15,000,000  a  year  for 
highway  work. 


Experts  employed  by  the  Canadian 
Pacific  Railway  to  examine  resources 
along  its  lines  in  Nova  Scotia  report 
undeveloped  deposit  of  exceptionally 
high-grade  gypsum,  most  favorably  lo- 
cated for  development  and  shipment, 
on  Shubenacadie  river,  having  a  meas- 
urable tonnage  of  2,200,000  tons  and 
probably  several  further  million  tons 
of  commercial  gypsum. 


The  State  District  Court  of  Appeal 
has  affirmed  the  conviction  of  S.  J. 
Pearson,  Oakland  builder,  on  a  charge 
of  obtaining  money  under  false  pre- 
tenses from  Mrs.  Frances  Keller  by  in- 
ducing her  to  pay  him  $707  on  her  last 
installment  with  representations  that 
the  sub-contractors  and  materialmen 
were  all  paid  up-to-date  when  they 
were  not.  Pearson  was  found  guilty 
June  2,  1924.  by  a  jury  and  sentenced 
to  San  Quentin  State  Prison  for  an 
indeterminate  sentence  of  from  one  to 
ten  years. 


Non-Pressure  Glazing  Co.,  capitalized 
at  $10,000  has  been  incorporated  in  San 
Francisco  with  the  following  directors: 
D.  J.  Murnane  Sr.,  D.  J.  Murnane  Jr. 
and  J.  P.  Murnane, 


Steel  ingot  production  by  all  com- 
panies in  October  aggregated  3,111,452 
tons  compared  with  2,814,996  the  month 
before  and  3,577,091  in  October,  1923,  it 
is  calculated  by  the  American  Iron  & 
.Steel  institute  on  reports  by  com- 
panies which  made  94.48  per  cent  in 
1923.  The  approximate  daily  produc- 
tion for  27  working  days  of  the  month 
was  115,239  tons.  Production  for  the 
10  months  this  year  was  29,985,393  tons 
against  37.488,078  tons  in  the  corres- 
ponding period  of  1923. 


Discovery  of  a  method  for  extracting 
pure  steel  and  forge  iron  directly  from 
iron  ore,  eliminating  the  use  of  melt- 
ing furnaces,  is  announced  by  the 
.Swedish  engineer  Flodin  of  the  Hag- 
fors  Iron  Works  at  Stockholm.  The  in- 
vention, which  is  the  result  of  exten- 
sive experimental  work,  has  aroused 
lively  interest  among  metal  experts 
and  will  immediately  be  submitted  to 
practical   tests   on   a  large   scale. 

Unfilled  tonnage  of  the  United  States 
Steel  Corporation  increased  51,410  be- 
tween September  30  and  October  31,  ac- 
cording to  monthly  report  of  that  cor- 
poration. Unfilled  orders  on  the  books 
of  the  corporation  on  October  31 
amounted  to  3,525,270  tons,  against  3,- 
473,789  tons  on  September  30  and  3,- 
289,577  tons  on  August  31,  1924.  One 
year  ago  the  steel  corporation  reported 
unfilled   orders  of  4,672,825   tons.

>KW    TYI'K    Oh'    WALL     IS    I'l.AN     OP 
BIUCK     l\Ti'^ItI':STS 


To  broaden  still  fiirthev  the  m.irUct 
fill-  brick,  a  new  low-cost  type  of  briclt 
wall  has  been  invented  by  the  Common 
BYlck  Manufacturers'  Association  of 
America.  Taking  the  eigrht-inch  wall 
as- an  example,  a  square  foot  of  solid 
brick  construction  uses  thirteen  brick; 
a  souare  foot  of  Ideal  hollow  wall  re- 
quires nine  brick,  and  the  new  wall, 
which  will  be  known  as  the  Cirver- 
Economy  wall,  uses  seven  and  ont- 
third  brick  to  the  square  toot. 

Tests  are  now  being  made  on  the 
new  type  of  construction,  and  it  will 
bo  presented  in  workable  form  at  the 
annual  convention  of  the  Common 
Brick  Manufacturers'  Association  cf 
America  to  be  held  at  Hotel  Drake, 
Chicago,   February   9th   to   13th. 

Since  brick  has  been  used  for  at 
least  7000  or  8000  years,  it  was 
thought  by  many  that  there  was  no 
opportunity  for  new  development  in 
brickwork  itself.  However,  since  the 
organization  of  the  Common  Brick 
Manufacturers'  Association,  six  years 
ago,  two  new  types  of  wall  have  been 
brought  out,  and  one  these,  the 
Ideal  wall,  has  come  into  general  use 
throughout  the  United  States  and 
Canada.  By  giving  a  variety  of  types 
of  wall  the  brick  mason  is  placed  in 
a  position  to  meet  every  price  demand. 

Solid  brick  masonry  never  was  sold 
upon  price.  It  has  frankly  been  pro- 
moted as  higher  in  first  cost  than  less 
enduring  construction,  although  cost- 
ing less  in  the  long  run.  The  Ideal 
wall  was  promoted  not  to  take  the 
place  of  solid  wall  entirely,  but  to 
meet  a  demand  for  lower  cost  m  resi- 
dential and  other  types  of  building,  and 
has  to  some  extent  broadened  the  use 
of  brick  and  given  a  substantial  and 
flre-safe  structure  to  thousands  who 
could  not  spend  the  money  necessary 
to  build  a  solid  masonry  building.

FEED   A   BIG   SUCCESS 


Committees    at   Work   on    East 

Bay    Uniform    Building 


Code 


More  than  one  hundred  members  of 
the  building  fraternity  in  the  San 
Francisco  Bay  District  attended  the 
regular  monthly  dinner  of  the  Contra 
Costa  County  Builders'  Exchange  at 
Richmond,    Friday    evening,    Nov.    1. 

Turkey  and  pumpkin  pie  with  all  the 
trimmings  were  served  by  members  of 
the  contracting  and  architectural 
crafts  A  musical  program  was  con- 
stantly underway  during  the  course 
of  the   dinner. 

P.  M.  Sanford,  president  of  the  ex- 
change, acting  as  toastmaster,  '"tro- 
duced  Chas.  Gompertz,  president  of  the 
California  State  Builders'  Exchange,  as 
the  principal  speaker  of  the  evening 
Mr.  Gompertz  told  of  the  National 
American  Plan  convention  recently  held 
in  Oklahoma  City  and  spoke  of  the 
successful  operation  of  the  American 
Plan  system  in  San  Francisco. 

Other  speakers  included  E.  W.  Shaw, 
secretary  of  the  Builders'  Exchange  of 
Alameda  County;  Mayor  J.  H.  Plate  and 
City  Attorney  D.  J.  Hall  of  Ric-hmond. 

Building  Ordinances  of  Chicago  with 
all  amendments  up  to  and  including 
July  1,  1924,  have  been  published  in 
booklet  form.  The  publication  is  on 
sale  in  the  Municipal  Reference  Lib- 
rary, Room  1005,  City  Hall,  Chicago. 
The    price    is    50    cents. 


Marking  an  epoch  in  Eastbay  unity 
of  purpose  and  having  for  its  objective 
a  uniform  building  code  for  the  com- 
munities on  the  continental  side  of  San 
Francisco  bay,  extending  from  Rich- 
mond to  San  Leandro,  a  committee  is 
now  at  work  revising  the  building 
laws  of  eight  Eastbay  cities. 

This  committee  originated  with  the 
Builders'  Exchange  of  Alameda  county, 
which  has  taken  the  lead  in  formulat- 
ing a  co-operative  effort  to  the  end 
that  the  Eastbay  cities  may  possess  a 
harmonious' and  uniform  building  code. 

From  a  .small  committee  of  builders, 
headed  by  Horace  D.  Jones,  appointed 
by  President  E.  M.  Tilden  of  the  Build- 
ers' Exchange,  the  enlarged  committee 
now  includes  official  representatives 
of  the  cities  of  Oakland,  Berkeley,  Ala- 
meda, Albany   and  Emeryville. 

More  than  35  men  are  on  the  com- 
mittee. 

The  work  of  revising  the  building 
codes  of  the  Eastbay  cities  will  have 
the  expert  aid  of  Mark  C.  Cohn,  author 
of  the  State  Housing  Law. 

Present  building  regulations  in  all 
eight  of  the  Eastbay  municipalities  are 
so  divergent,  it  is  stated,  that  there  is 
continued  conflict  between  the  cities, 
the  builders  and  the  owners  of  struc- 
tures built  in  these  eight  cities.  It  is 
stated  that;  . 

"A  type  of  construction  permitted  in 
Oakland  is  not  tolerated  in  Berkeley. 
There  is  similar  conflict  between  Oak- 
land and  Alameda.  San  Leandro  and 
Emeryville,    Richmond    and    Piedmont." 

The  revision  of  the  building  laws  in 
the  Eastbay  communities  has  long  been 
recognized  as  a  potential  need  of  the 
cities,    according    to   Jones. 

The  unanimity  witli  which  the  build- 
ing departments  of  the  various  com- 
munities affected  have  accepted  the 
suggestion  and  the  encouragement  of 
the   mayors    and   city   councils   has   dis- 


SEEK      SIMPLIFICATION     OF      STEEfL 
LOCKERS 

Following  an  extended  study  of  the 
sizes  and  varieties  of  steel  lockers,  the 
Division  of  Simplified  Practice  has  sent 
out  invitations  to  manufacturers  dis- 
tributors and  users  of  this  product  to 
attend  a  conference  in  the  Department 
of  Commerce  to  consider  the  elimina- 
tion of  excess  varieties. 

This  conference  is  a  sequal  to  a 
meeting  of  manufacturers  held  in  Feb- 
ruary, 1923,  when  it  was  suggested 
that  steel  lockers,  now  being  made  in 
50  or  more  sizes  and  styles,  could  be 
simplified  to  a  much  smaller  number 
without  interfering  with  the  nor'I!^! 
purposes  for  which  they  are  made.  The 
survey  which  followed  indicated  that 
the  greater  portion  of  the  demand  is 
covered    by    14    items. 

The  tentative  recommendations  for 
the  standard  sizes  to  be  retained  pro- 
vide for  three  widths,  four  depths,  and 
four  heights,  and  the  adoption  of  these 
sizes    as    the    recognized    varieties    will 


closed  the  need  of  such  remedial  legis- 
lation as  proposed  by  the  committee 
working  an  the  revision  plans,  it  is 
stated. 

It  is  pointed  out  that  a  uniform 
building  code  for  all  the  Eastbay  cities 
will  not  only  result  in  a  saving  of  time 
and  money  to  the  owners  and  builders 
in  actual  construction  work,  but  that 
it  will  also  tend  to  reduce  insurance 
rates. 

To  facilitate  matters,  President  Jones 
of  the  general  committee  has  appointed 
sub-committees  to  give  special  atten- 
tion to  the  various  clauses  in  the  pro- 
posed uniform  building  law.  These 
have  been  divided  as  follows; 

General  Advisory — Comprising'  of- 
ficial representatives  of  each  of  the 
Eastbay  cities  involved,  the  chairman 
and  secretary  of  the  committee. 

Frame  construction  —  H.  D.  Jones, 
president    Master    Builders,    chairman. 

Roofing — James  M.  McKeon,  presi- 
dent of  Roofing  Contractors'  Associa- 
tion   of    Alameda   County,    chairman. 

Plastering — T.  D.  Sexton,  president 
of  the  Master  Plasterers'  Association 
Alameda  County,  chairman. 

Plumbing  —  Carl  Doell,  master 
plumber,  chairman. 

Electrical  —  Walter  Spencer,  master 
electrician,  chairman. 

Heating  and  Ventilating  —  Gardner 
Buss,  secretary  Gas  Appliance  Society, 
chairman. 

To  these  sub-committees  will  be 
added  other  members.  Eastbay  archi- 
tects and  engineers  will  also  have  a 
place    in  the   committee  work. 

Mark  C.  Cohn,  building  regulations 
expert,  will  consult  with  all  the  com- 
mittees. Cohn  is  executive  director 
and  secretary  of  the  California  Hous- 
ing and  Building  Institute  and  con- 
sultant to  the  Pacific  Coast  Building 
officials'   Institute. 


rest  on   the  action   of  the   general  con- 
ference. 

The  invitations  sent  out  by  the  Di- 
vision include  more  than  200  associa- 
tions representing  the  users  as  well  as 
100  or  more  individual  firms. 

Tentative  sizes  proposed  as  the  re- 
sult of  the  survey  are  as  follows:

SACRAMENTO       UlILDINCi      PKRMlTS 
EACEEU      PREVIOUS      RECORD 


Shattering  all  previous  records  for 
construction  in  Sacramento,  building 
permits  for  the  month  of  October 
totaled  ?914,829.50  as  compared  with  a 
total  of  $448,897.50  for  September,  a 
gain  of  nearly  100  per  cent,  according 
to  Ben  H.  Covell,  city  building  in- 
spector. 

Although  building  permits  for  the 
year  to  date  are  sliglitiy  behind  the 
total  for  the  first  ten  months  of  last 
year,  the  decline  is  not  a  sign  that  in- 
dustrial and  home  building  has  taken 
a  slump,  Covell  declares.  Tlie  increase 
of  last  year's  total  over  the  current 
year,  he  continued,  is  due  to  the  large 
amount  of  school  construction  com- 
pleted during  the  first  ten  months  of 
1923. 

The  total  for  the  month  of  a  little 
less  than  $1,000,000  is  the  largest 
amount  of  building  permits  ever  is- 
sued in  this  city  for  any  single  month 
in  history. 

Of  the  total  of  $914,829,50  of  new 
building  permits  istsued  durtng  the 
month  of  October  nearly  $500,000  was 
for  new  residences  and  apartment 
houses.  The  balance  was  mostly  for 
commercial  and  industrial  purposes, 
while  a  comparatively  small  amount 
was  for  alterations  and  repairs  to  ex- 
isting buildings.  A  total  of  321  per- 
mits  were   issued   during   the   month. 

The  total  permits  for  the  year  to 
date  is  $6,921,665.83  as  compared  with 
$8,627,529  for  the  same  period  last  year. 


One  of  this  year's  most  Important 
developments  In  the  gypsum  industry 
Is  the  perfecting  of  Structolite,  a  prod- 
uct of  the  United  States  Gypsum  Com- 
pany, which  is  poured  like  concrete  to 
form  insulating  fireproof,  bearing 
walls  In  residences,  service  stations, 
garages  and  similar  buildings  or  In 
one-story  industrial  buildings  where 
there  are  no  heavy  concentrated  loads. 

This  development  Is  Important  be- 
cause it  adds  bearing  strength  to  the 
list  of  recognized  qualities  of  gypsum 
— fireproofing,  heat  and  sound  insula- 
tion, quick  setting  which  means  rapid 
erection,  solid  construction  and  easy 
adaptability.  This  bearing  strength 
and  economy  are  the  factors  that  now 
makes  all-gypsum  residential  con- 
struction  practicable. 

Structolite  is  a  form  of  structural 
gypsum  finely  ground  and  treated 
chemically  to  increase  its  density.  This 
density  gives  it  a  compressive 
strength,  mixed  neat,  of  2500  pounds 
per  square  inch  when  set  and  dry, 
whereas  the  compressive  strength  of 
ordinary  gypsum  is  approximately  800 
pounds. 

Any  of  the  accepted  aggregates  used 
with  Portland  cement  may  be  used 
with  Structolite.  The  producing  com- 
pany recommends  for  this  purpose  1 
part,  by  volume,  of  clean  sand  and  3 
parts  of  cinders  to  1^  parts  of  Struc- 
tolite. In  these  proportions  it  develops 
an  ultimate  compressive  strength  of  at 
least  500  pounds  per  square  inch,  which 
permits  of  a  factor  of  safety  of  10.  in 
ordinary  residential  design. 

This  gypsum  concrete  may  be  mixed 
either  by  hand  or  by  drum  type  batch 
concrete  mixer.  The  U.  S.  Gypsum 
Company  recommends  that  the  stone 
or  cement  foundation  of  the  house  be 
carried  at  least  18  inches  above  the 
grade-line,  and  that  the  top  of  the 
foundation  be  coated  with  a  good  grade 
of  waterproofing  compound.  This  done, 
the  foundation  is  ready  for  pouring 
the  Structolite  walls. 

In  bungalows  the  walls  should  be  at 
least  6  inches  thick;  in  two-story 
dwellings,  at  least  8  inches.  All  por- 
tions of  the  walls  subjected  to  tension- 
al  or  shear  stresses  should  be  rein- 
forced with  steel  rods  or  by  galvanized 
welded  mat  reinforcement. 

Unretarded  Structolite  sets  in  about 
15  minutes;  since  this  may  prove  too 
fast  for  larger  building  operations,  this 
material  can  be  retarded  so  as  to  set 
in  30  minutes  or  longer.  By  that  time 
it  acquires  60  per  cent  of  its  ultimate 
strength  in  compression.  Consequently, 
building  with  Structolite  is  much  more 
rapid  that  with  ordinary  concrete.  This 
makes  it  economical  to  use  interlock- 
ing metal  forms,  since  they  may  be  re- 
used frequently  and  therefore  only  a 
small  number  is   required. 

The  usual  method  of  handling  is  to 
adjust  a  course  of  tliese  forms  around 
at  least  two  sides  of  the  building,  pour 
this  course,  then  place  another  level 
of  forms  above  the  first  one  and  pour 
the  second  course.  By  that  time  the 
first  forms  can  be  removed  and  used 
for  the  third  course  or  for  the  first 
course  on  other  sides  of  the  house. 
This  not  only  speeds  up  erection,  but 


it  minimizes  the  contractor's  Invest- 
ment tied  up  In  forms  and  makes  It 
possible  to  carry  up  all  walls  and  par- 
titions of  the  building  simultaneously. 
After  the  forms  are  removed  and  the 
surplus  moisture  dried  out,  the  outside 
walls  should  be  surfaced  with  a  good 
damp-proofing  compound.  The  e.xterlor 
finish  then  can  be  applied  at  any  time. 
If  the  outside  finish  Is  to  be  stucco,  the 
manufacturers  recommend  that  a  light 
4"  X  4"  electrically  welded  wire  fabric 
be  stapled  onto  the  walls  and  then  cov- 
ered with  %  inch  of  approved  exterior 
stucco.  If  a  brick  veneer  is  desired, 
anchors  may  be  driven  Into  or  cast  in 
place  In  the  wall  and  embedded  in  the 
brick  course.  If  the  exterior  is  to  be 
drop-siding,  it  is  recommended  that 
vertical  furring  strips  be  embedded  In 
or  securely  nailed  to  the  wall  and  the 
hiding  nailed  to  them. 

Fire  and  water  tests  on  this  con- 
.struction  were  made  at  Columbia  Uni- 
versity last  December.  A  panel  3  inches 
thick,  9  feet  high  and  14  feet  long  was 
subjected  to  an  average  temperature 
of  1700  degrees  Fahrenheit  for  one 
hour.  Following  this  a  1>^  inch  stream 
ot  water  was  played  on  the  fired  side 
with  30  pounds  pressure  from  a  dis- 
tance of  20  feet.  The  panel  stood  this 
test  perfectly  and  thereupon  was  ap- 
proved as  fireproof  construction  by 
the  City  of  New  York.  The  insulation- 
value  of  Structolite  is  indicated  by  the 
fact  that  in  this  test  the  temperature 
on  the  unexposed  side  of  the  panel  at 
no  time  exceeded  210  degrees  F. 

Structolite  cinder  concrete  weighs 
only  85  pounas  per  cubic  foot  whereaa 
Portland  cement  concrete  weighs  150 
pounds.  It  is  designed  for  a  working 
load  of  50  pounds  per  square  inch, 
while  the  average  load  in  a  dwelling 
liouse  need  not  exceed  25  pounds  per 
square  inch  of  bearing  area.  Finally, 
the  cost  of  this  construction  compares 
favorably  with  that  of  ordinary  frame 
construction. 

When  the  U.  S.  Gypsum  Company 
perfected  a  material  embodying  the 
foregoing  characteristics  it  was  first 
used  for  garages  and  service  stations, 
then  for  bungalow-type  homes,  and 
then  for  two-story  dwellings.  In  each 
case  the  material  met  every  condition 
presented  by  that  type  of  construction. 
It  also  has  been  used  for  bearing  walls 
in  one-story  factory  buildings  where 
there  are  no  heavy  concentrated  loads, 
and  is  recommended  for  curtain,  fire- 
stop  and  other  walls  in  heavy-type  in- 
dustrial and  commercial  building! 
where  the  principal  loads  are  support- 
ed by  steel  or  Portland  cement  con 
Crete. 

Thus  far  all  residences  built  ol 
Structolite  have  had  frame  roofs  and 
floors.  As  the  U.  S.  Gypsum  Company 
has  had  25  years  of  experience  in 
building  poured  gypsum  floors  and 
roofs,  the  next  step  in  the  evolution 
of  the  all-gypsum  residence  is  the 
adaptation  of  these  constructions  to 
the  small  dwelling.  Adaptations  of  re- 
inforced gypsum  roofings  can  be  ap- 
plied now  where  the  roof -design  is  not 
too  complicated. 

Structolite  is  shipped  in  100  pound 
jute  sacks  or  80  pound  paper  contain- 
ers. It  is  produced  by  the  United  States 
Gypsum  Company  at  Fort  Dodge,  Iowa; 
Gypsum,  Ohio;  Oakfield  and  New 
Brighton,  New  York,  and  Loveland, 
Colo.  Eventually  it  will  be  manufac- 
tured at  all  other  plants  of  the  com- 
pany.

"Science  and  Practice  of  Integral 
Waterproofing,"  fourth  edition,  is  oft 
the  press.  A  number  of  changes  has 
been  made  in  the  new  edition  of  the 
Uoolflet  in  the  interest  of  simplifica- 
tion. The  first  fifteen  pages  take  up 
the  study  of  why  concrete  should  be 
porous,  and  how  the  pores  in  concrete 
act  to  absorb  moisture.  The  subject  is 
then  developed  to  show  how  this  mois- 
ture absorption  can  be  stopped  by  the 
use  of  a  repellent  waterproofing  com- 
pound. The  last  section  of  the  pam- 
plet  is  devoted  to  specification  for 
waterproofing  mass  concrete  and  ma- 
sonry by  the  cement  plaster  coat 
method,  and  for  the  production  of 
waterproof  cement,  stucco  and  mortar. 
The  concluding  chapter  is  especially 
valuable,  as  it  treats  of  the  practical 
application  of  a  cement  plaster  coat, 
calling  attention  to  certain  little  pre- 
cautions which,  if  followed,  prevent 
failure  of  plaster  coat  or  stucco.  A 
copy  of  the  new  edition  may  be  ob- 
tained by  any  person  interested,  by 
addressing  the  Truscon  Laboratories,

The  Common  Brick  Manufacturers' 
Association,  2121  Discount  Kldg., 
Cleveland,  has  published  a  16-page 
pamphlet  called  "Brickwork— Working 
Details  "  It  describes  and  illustrates  a 
new  method  employed  by  several  ar- 
chitects to  obtain  interesting  surface 
effects  with  Chicago  common  brick. 
The  new  effects,  which  have  been 
grouped  under  the  general  classifica- 
tion of  skintled  brick  work,  are  pro- 
duced in  a  very  simple  manner  by 
setting  some  of  the  brick  beyond  and 
others  behind  the  normal  building 
line  giving  in  addition  to  the  natural 
irregularities  of  the  brick  itself  strong 
light  and  shade  effects.  The  pamphlet 
may  be  obtained  from  the  secretary  of 
the  association,  Ralph  P.  Stoddard,  for

slates  were  the  Carolinas  and  Ala- 
bama, all  below  25  cents;  the  next 
highest  were  Washington  and  Idaho, 
over  54   cents. 

Average  full  time  earnings  per  week 
show  California  to  be  the  high  state, 
paying  $29.30,  followed  by  Oregon, 
?27.69.  and  by  Pennsylvania,  Idaho,

United  States.  1923,"  conducted  in  252 
representative  mills  in  23  manufactur- 
ing states,  the  Bureau  of  Labor  Statis- 
tics finds  that  in  the  252  mills,  192 
made  net  increases  in  wages,  as  com- 
pared with  July  1.  1921,  ranging  for 
118  mills,  from  1  to  50  per  cent,  with 
average  increase  of  16  per  cent;  48 
made  no  net  changes  in  wages  since 
July  1,  1921;  8  made  net  reductions,  7 
ranging  from  4  to  20  per  cent,  with 
average  reduction  of  14'  per  cent. 

Of  these  252  mills,  the  National  Lum- 
ber Manufacturers  Association  says  in 
a  review  of  this  survey,  that  11  mills 
reported  payment  of  50  per  cent  in- 
crease for  overtime  work,  10  of  the  11 
being  located  on  the  Pacific  Coast  and 
one  in  Maine.  The  same  rate  for  over- 
time as  for  regular  time  was  paid  in 
214   mills. 

As  compared  with  1921,  the  largest 
increases  in  the  wages  of  head  band 
sawyers  were  in  Florida,  Georgia, 
South  Carolina,  Tennessee,  Minnesota, 
and  California;  the  smallest  in  West 
Virginia,  Maine,  and  Arkansas.  The 
largest  increases  in  the  wages  of 
laborers  were  in  Minnesota,  Pennsyl- 
vania. Washington,  Oregon  and  Wis- 
consin; the  smallest  increases  in  West 
Virginia  and  North  Carolina.  Maine 
showed  a  slight  decrease  in  1923  as 
compared  with  1921  in  wages  paid 
laborers. 

The  average  earnings  per  hour  rang- 
ed in  1923  from  21  cents  in  Georgia  to 
57    cents    in   Oregon.      The   next   lowest

Total    Nearly    Five    Billion    Dollars 


Save  the  Surface  Campaign,  the 
Bourse,  Philadelphia,  is  distributing  a 
portfolio  displaying  the  co-operat  ye 
advertising  of  the  paint  and  varnish 
industry  for  the  first  six  months  of 
1925  It  summarizes  the  activities  01 
the  Save  the  Surface  Campaign,  show- 
ing what  Is  available,  in  material  or 
ideas,  to  help  dealers  and  painters 
move  their  customers  and  neighbors  to 
action. 


The  American  building  bill  for  1924 
is  expected  to  exceed  the  enormous 
sum  of  $4,500,000,000.  and  the  con- 
struction of  homes  accounts  for  about 
40  per  cent  of  that  total,  according 
to  figures  made  public  by  the  Federal 
Reserve  Board  and  the  Department  of 
Commerce. 

It  has  been  a  boom  year  in  the  build- 
ing industry. 

There  still  is  a  national  housing 
problem,  but  the  situation  is  the  best  it 
has  been  since  the  war,  officials  said. 

Complete  statistics  for  1923  and  the 
first  ten  months  of  1924,  show: 

Total  construction:  1923,  $3,794,789,- 
250;   1924,  $4,247,064,000. 

Residential  construction:  1923,  $1,- 
607,436,000;    1924,    $1,906,218,125. 

Road  building,  it  was  estimated  by 
the  Federal  Reserve  Board,  will  ag- 
gregate  about  $1,400,000,000   this  year. 

"The  volume  of  construction  in  1924 
has  given  direct  employment  to  more 
than  2,500,000  persons  and  has  exer- 
cised a  sustaining  effect  on  the  build- 
ing material  industries,"  the  Federal 
Reserve  Board  said. 

"Cement  plants  had  a  record  pro- 
duction during  the  first  nine  months  of 
1924,  shipment  of  oak  flooring  and 
structural    steel    have    been    sustained, 


but    there    was    some    decrease    in    the 
demand  for  lumber  and  brick." 

Reviewing  the  last  few  years,  the 
board  said  that  "the  expansion  in 
building  operation  dates  from  1921, 
with  sha^p  increases  in  1922  and  more 
moderate   increases   in    1923. 

"Analysis  of  contract  awards  indi- 
cates that  residential  construction 
reached  a  peak  in  the  spring  of  1924," 
the  board  said. 

"Contracts  for  business,  industrial 
and  educational  buildings  and  other 
public  structures  reached  a  peak  in 
1922,  which  has  not  been  exceeded 
since." 

Officials  said  that  building  materials 
have  declined  in  price  during  the  last 
season,  following  the  rise  accompany- 
ing the  expansion  of  1921,  1922  and  1923. 

"Analysis  of  contracts  indicates  that 
new  construction  has  been  maintained 
in  relatively  greater  volume  in  the 
New  York  and  San  Francisco  districts 
than  in  any  other  sections  of  the 
country,"  according  to  the  federal  re- 
serve  summary. 

"The    increase    in    1924    is   due    almost 
entirely    to    the    large    number    of    new 
projects   in    the  New   York   district.      In     * 
the  Philadelphia.  Cleveland,  Minneapolis     j 
and  Kansas  City  districts  new  building     ; 
has  been  smaller  in  volume  in  1924  than 
in    1923."

UP  IN  the  mountains. 

NOT   1000  miles   from  Sacramento. 

LIVES  AN   old  couple. 

WHO   ARE   raising  a  grandson. 

WHOSE  MOTHER  is  dead. 

WE   WILL  call  him  Willie. 

WHO  IS  now  old   enough. 

TO  ATTEND  public  school. 

THEY  TAKE  the  "Bee." 

AND   THE   little   local   paper. 

BUT   ON   Sundays. 

ON  THE  way  from  church. 

THEY  BUY  a  Sunday  paper. 

EITHER   THE   Chronicle   or  Examiner. 

BUT  TO   keep  Willie. 

FROM  BEING  a  bad  boy. 

BECAUSE   OF  reading  such  stuff. 

AS  JIGGS  or  Andy  Gump. 

THE    "FUNNIES"    are    burned. 

IN   THE   kitchen   stove. 

BEFORE  WILLIE   can  read   them. 

WILLIE    HAS   a   fertile    brain. 

.\ND  TOLD  Clarence  Sand  Pratt. 

OF  THE  Pratt  Building  Material  Co. 

DOUGLAS  300 — "Easy  to  remember." 

PRODUCER  OF  clean,  sharp   sand. 

AND   HARD,   crushed  rock. 

AT    SACRAMENTO    and    Marysville. 

*      «      * 
PRATTROCK    (NEAR   Folsom). 

ALSO    PRATTCO,    Monterey   County. 

THAT  THE  school  kids. 

BROUGHT  HIM  the  "funnies"  on   Mon- 
days. 

IP    THEY   don't   forget. 

AND  THAT  he  kept  them. 

IN  AN  old  buckeye  tree. 

DOWN   NEAR    the   creek. 

WHEN  SANDY'   (alias  Clarence)   Pratt. 

WENT    TO    see    Willie's    "library." 

SANDY  FOUND  dozens  of  "funnies." 

SOME   ALMOST   a   year   old. 

ALSO   A   complete   set. 


OF    NICK    Dtteetive    Carter's    works. 

A  BEAUTIFUL   volume,    entitled. 

"LIFE    OF    Jessie   James,    Bandit." 

EVERYTHING    TUCKED    away. 

SO    GRANDMA   and    the    rain. 

COULD  NOT  disturb  them. 

WILLIE   SAID   the   squirrels. 

WATCHED   THEM   for   him. 

IN  THE  day  time. 

AND  THAT  a   big  owl. 

•      •      • 
WHO  HAD   a  nest. 

IN   THE   tree   top. 

STOOD  WATCH   at  night. 

AND   WILLIE   told   Sandy   Pratt. 

PRODUCER  OF  Clean,  sharp  sand. 

AND   HARD,   crushed   rock. 

THAT  WHEN  he  grew  up. 

AND  HAD  a  little   boy  of  his  own. 

HE   WAS  going  to  give   him   the   "fun- 
nies." 

SO  HE  could  read   them. 

AND   HAVE   some   fun. 

AND    SANDY    likes    this    story. 

AND   BECAUSE   so   many. 

HAVE  COMMENTED  upon  it. 

SANDY   IS   printing   it   again. 


Maybe  Willie  will  turn  out  to  be  a 
sa.xaphone  operator.  Sandy  Pratt, 
President  of  the  Pratt  Building  Ma- 
terial Co.,  producer  of  crushed  rocic, 
c-lean  sharp  sand,  washed  gravel  and 
rock  screening  at  Marysville,  Sacra- 
mento Prattrock  (near  Folsom), 
Prattco  (Monterey  County)  and^  San 
Francisco  believes  in  the  "funnies  and 
Sandy  tries  to  be  funny  in  these 
colunins,   but   does  not  always  succeed.

City  council  will  meet  Nov.  17  to  con-

municipal  water  system.  It  is  proposed 
to  float  $3,000,000  bond  issue  to  finance 
the  system,  other  advocates  of  the 
plan  propose  purchase  of  present  sys- 
tem of  San  Jose  Water  Works  or  by

BAKERSFIELD,    Kern    Co.,    Calif.   — 

I'etitions  seeking  disincorporation  of 
XJakerstield  Municipal  Water  District 
and  the  establishment  of  a  water  sys- 
tem owned  and  operated  by  the  city 
are  being  circulated.  The  request  for 
ilisincorporation  follows  recent  defeat 
o£  $1,600,000  water  bond  proposals  by 
citizens.  The  principal  objection  to  the 
plan  was  that  it  would  take  an  extra 
set  of  officials  to  conduct  a  utility 
that,  if  managed  directly  by  the  city, 
could  be  conducted  by  the  citv  man- 
agement with  the  advice  of  the  city 
engineer  at  no  additional  cost  to  the 
taxpayers.  Decision  of  the  city  coun- 
cil to  establish  a  city  system  will  mean 
that  negotiations  to  buy  out  the  two 
local  water  companies,  which  were  in- 
terrupted by  the  defeat  of  the  bond 
issue,    will   be    resumed.

SOVTHERN        C.VLIFORSfIA        EDISON 
VOTES    $25,00«.(K>O    BUDGET 


Twenty-flve  millions  of  dollars  said 
by  the  company  to  be  one  of  the 
largest  annual  authorizations  ever  made 
lin  the  United  States  for  hydro-electric 
'development  and  distribution  of  elec- 
•trlclty,  has  been  authorized  by  the 
lioard  of  directors  of  the  Southern 
iCalifornia  Edison  as  the  construction 
budget  for  the  year  1925.  This  makes 
an  aggregate  authorization  for  de- 
|veIopment  and  distribution  by  the  com- 
,pany  since  the  close  of  the  world  war 
jot   $143,000,000. 

•  Features  of  the  budget  are  $7,535,000 
jtor  hydro-electric  development  on  the 
iBig  Creek-San  Joaquin  River  project; 
;?3,965,000  for  completion  of  steam 
Iplants  now  under  construction;  $1,500,- 
,000  for  increasing  the  220,000  volt 
jtransmission  facilities  between  Big 
iCreek  and  Southern  California,  and 
i$12,000,000  for  extension  of  distribution 
isystems  and  betterments. 
I  "Recent  rains  and  early  completion 
•jof  the  Long  Beach  steam  plant  mark 
ithe  end  of  the  power  shortage  which 
lexlsted  during  the  past  season,"  ac- 
cording to  a  statement  issued  by  the 
[Company. 

"The  Florence  Lake  tunnel,  which 
will  cost  when  completed  approximately 
$17,000,000,  will  be  finished  in  March, 
,and  the  construction  on  the  Big  Creek- 
iSan  Joaquin  River  project  will  increase 
Uhe  water  power  generating  capacity 
jduring  the  ensuing  year  by  55,000 
I  horsepower,  which  will  bring  the  total 
: generating  capacity  of  the  company  in 
water  and  steam  up  to  687,000  horse- 
power. 


Unless  building  permits  decline  to 
a  considerable  extent  during  the  last 
•luarter  of  this  year,  1924,  will  go 
down  as  the  banner  year  in  the  con- 
struction industry  of  the  country, 
according  to  A.  W.  Dickson,  executive 
secretary  of  the  National  Association 
of  Building  Trades  Employers.  There 
is  no  evidence  at  this  time,  Dickson 
says,  to  support  a  prediction  that  there 
will  be  a  drop  at  any  time  during  the 
last  quarter,  while  there  is  every  rea- 
son to  believe  that  the  total  value  of 
permits  issued  will  greatly  exceed  that 
of  the  same  period  last  year. 

An  e.xamination  of  figures  over  a 
period  of  years  reveals  the  fact  that 
the  construction  industry  usually  has 
two  peaks  and  two  depressions  each 
year.  During  the  early  months  there 
is  a  depression  which  culminates  about 
the  first  of  March  when  the  upward 
trend  begins  whicli  usually  reaches  the 
high  point  for  the  year  around  the 
first  of  Juno.  Then  another  depres- 
sion sets  in  which  continues  for  a 
couple  of  months  before  the  reaction 
begins  and  tlie  second  pealc  is  reached 
around  September.  It  is  therefore  in- 
teresting to  note  that  the  value  of 
permits  issued  during  eacli  succeeding 
September  since  1922  has  been  in  ex- 
cess of  that  of  the  preceeding  year. 
Permits  issued  in  the  twenty-flve  cities 
listed  during  September  1924  amounted 
to  $162,824,998,  as  against  $145,874,709 
for  September  1922  an  increase  of  ap- 
proximately  $17,000,000. 

All  of  those  who  have  made  a  study 
of  conditions  in  the  construction  in- 
dustry are  unanimous  in  their  opinion 
that  a  point  of  stabalization  has  been 
reached  as  to  building  costs.  It  is 
likely  that  present  levels  will  be  main- 
tained during  the  rest  of  this  year  and 
well  into  1924.  This  is  especially  true 
in  the  matter  of  wage  rates.  Septem- 
ber was  the  first  month  in  two  and  one 
half  years  that  wage  decreases  out- 
numbered wage  increases  in  the  in- 
dustry. While  the  decreases  were 
confined  to  some  of  the  minor  trades 
and  were  not  general  it  is  an  indication 
that  there  will  be  no  further  increases 
this   year. 

The  material  market  shows  prac- 
tically the  same  stability  and  there  is 
no  reason  to  believe  that  there  will  be 
any  sharp  advances  in  prices  for  some 
time  to  come. 


BAY  BRIDGE  FAVORED 


Both  the  Navy  and  War  Department 
will  sanction  the  construction  of  a 
bridge  across  the  Golden  Gate.  As 
soon  as  comparatively  minor  details 
can  be  disposed  of  a  probable  favor- 
able decision  will  be  forthcoming,  as- 
cording  to  word  received  from  J.  R.  D. 
Matheson,  Major,  Corps  of  Engineers, 
at  AVashington. 

Several  plans  for  the  proposed  struc- 
ture are  on  file  with  M.  M.  O'Shangh- 
nessy,  city  engineer  of  San  Francisco, 
notably  one  drawn  up  by  the  Strauss 
engineers  in  Chicago  which  calls  for 
a  combined  cantilever  and  suspension 
bridge.  It  would  be  the  highest  in  the 
world,  having  a  clearance  of  310  feet 
at  is  lowest  point  over  the  channel 
and  with  pier  heads  774  feet  high. 

The  estimated  cost  of  tha  bridge 
ranges  from  $17,000,000  to  $20,000,000 
with  the  construction  period  fixed  at 
four  years.  Tolls  and  other  traffic 
imposts,  it  is  claimed,  ultimately  would 
pay  for  the  structure  and  make  it  self- 
supporting. 


The  Highway  Research  Board  will 
hold  its  fourth  annual  meeting  on  De- 
cember 4th  and  5th,  1924,  in  the  new 
building  of  the  National  Research 
Council  located  at  B  and  21st  Sts., 
Washington,  D.  C. 

Thomas  H.  MaoDonald,  Chief  of  the 
Bureau  of  Public  Roads,  will  present 
a  paper  on  the  "Financial  Value  of 
Highway  Research  as  Applied  to  Road 
Construction."  Mr.  MacDonald's  keen 
sense  of  judgment  on  all  matters  per- 
taining to  highways  makes  this  paper 
an   important  one. 

The  various  Committees  of  the  Board 
will  make  their  reports  and  great  in- 
terest has  been  aroused  throughout  the 
Country  as  the  problems  that  have 
been  assigned  to  each  Committee  are 
common  problems  to  all  highway  ex- 
ecutives and  engineers.  These  reports 
will  include  the  Economic  Theory  of 
Highway  Improvements;  Structural 
Design  of  Roads;  Character  and  Use 
of  Road  Material;  Highway  Traffic 
.\nalysis;  Highway  Finance;  Highway 
Maintenance,  and  also  a  report  of  the 
Special  Investigation  on  Reinforcement 
in  Concrete  RoadS. 

Research  apparatus  that  has  been 
successfully  used  in  various  experi- 
ments will  be  on  display.  This  exhibit 
will  not  only  include  the  apparatus 
used  in  laboratories,  but  will  include 
also  various  loadomete(i*s,  traffic 
counters  and  other  instruments  in  use 
on   the  road. 

On  the  evening  of  December  4th,  Mr. 
Herbert  Hoover,  Secretary  of  the  De- 
partment of  Commerce,  will  speak  at 
the  Highway   Research  dinner. 

This  is  the  one  meeting  of  the  year 
where  there  is  a  rounded  discussion  of 
the  practical  application  of  highway 
research.  Highway  executives  and  en- 
gineers will  find  this  meeting  to  be 
one  of  intense  interest  because  of  the 
correlation  of  research  and  practice. 


U.      S.      AlVNOUNCBS      EXAMINATIOIV 
FOR  CONSTRUCTION  SPECIALIST 


The  United  States  Civil  Service 
Commission,  Washington,  D.  C,  an- 
nounces an  examination  will  be  held

THE  OBSERVER 

WHAT  HE  HEARS  AND  SEES  ON  HIS  ROUNDS 


A.  M.  Jensen,  consulting  engineer 
with  offices  in  Fresno,  wiU  be  a  candi- 
date for  the  office  of  commissioner  of 
public  works  of  that  city  at  the  coming 
municipal  election.  Wm.  Stranahan, 
the  present  commissioner  of  public 
worlis,  will  be  a  candidate  for  re-elec- 
tion. Jensen  was  a  deputy  engineer 
for  the  City  of  Fresno  in  1913  and  1914 
and  was  a  member  of  the  commission 
of  three  engineers  which  investigated 
sewage  disposal.  Jensen  is  a  graduate 
of  the  University  of  California  engi- 
neering department.  He  was  born  in 
Fresno  in  1889.  He  has  done  general 
engineering  work  as  well  as  special 
sanitary  and  structural  work  for  15 
years.  Stranahan  is  a  graduate  of  Cor- 
nell University  school  of  engineering 
at  Ithaca,  N.  Y.,  and  served  since  his 
graduation  not  only  in  private  and 
municipal  engineering  work  but  also 
in  thei  United  States  engineering  corps 
during  the  World  War. 


The  National  Surety  Co.  reports  con- 
tractors' defaults  and  the  amount  in- 
volved, each  year,  where  that  company 
alone  was  surety,  as  follows:  1921,  404 
claims,  $544,170.29;  1922,  423  cfaims, 
$610,043.64;  1923,  1499  claims,  $1,801.- 
893.71;  first  nine  months  of  1924,  1574 
claims,  $1,751,355.50,  making  a  grand 
total  of  3900  claims  totaling  $4,707,- 
463.14.  It  is  important  to  investors 
and  to  institutions  contemplating  the 
erection  of  buildings,  the  company 
points  out,  to  have  a  bond  that  will  (1) 
guarantee  the  erection  of  the  building 
as  provided  in  the  plans  and  specifica- 
tions and  (2)  leave  no  unpaid  labor, 
material  or  other  claims  against  the 
building,  which  may  be  subject  to  a 
lien. 


At  the  closing  session  of  the  annual 
convention  of  the  California  Retail 
Lumbermen's  Association,  held  in  Los 
Angeles  Nov.  7  and  S,  a  resolution  was 
adopted  approving  the  action  of  certain 
Southern  California  cement  manufac- 
turers charging  25  cents  per  barrel 
more  for  cement  f.  o.  b.  trucks  than 
f.  o.  b.  cars  at  the  mills.  The  resolu- 
tion urged  the  retail  dealers  to  order 
cement  by  the  carload  rather  than  by 
the  truck  load.  A  resolution  was  also 
adopted  declaring  that  ,inasumch  as 
the  importation  and  use  of  foreign  ce- 
ment is  proving  detrimental  to  the 
California  cement  industry,  in  which 
many  millions  of  capital  are  invested 
in  plants  which  are  among  the  largest 
employers  of  labor,  "we  use  every  legi- 
timate effort  to  promote  the  use  of 
California-made  cement  in  California 
construction." 


Moore-McKevitt,  Manufacturing  Co., 
manufacturing  piston  rings  and  wrist 
pins,  has  acquired  the  machinery  and

Company  of  San  Francisco  and  will 
operate  at  3109  Adeline  St.,  Oakland. 
E.  N.  Moore  Jr.,  formerly  of  the  Gas 
Motor  Parts  company,  and  H.  W.  Mc- 
Kevitt  of  the  McKevitt  company  of 
San  Francisco,  are  the  principal  own-

John  Lyle  Harrington,  New  York  and 
Kansas  City  engineer,  has  filed  an  ap- 
plication with  the  San  Mateo  county 
supervisors  seeking  a  franchise  to  con- 
struct a  toll  bridge  across  Dumbarton 
Strait  at  the  lower  end  of  San  Fran- 
cisco Bay.  A  franchise  previously 
granted  to  Harrington  expired  on 
March  22,  1923.  Th*  new  franchise,  it 
is  said,  is  to  take  care  of  certain 
changes  in  the  Jaw  governing  the 
financing  of  toll  bridges.  The  proposed 
bridge  will  be  5,500  feet  in  length  and 
24  feet  wide.  The  cost  is  estimated 
at   $2,000,000. 


The  Tilden  Lumber  &  Mill  Company 
of  Oakland  has  enlarged  its  San  Joa- 
quin valley  holdings  by  the  purchase 
of  the  Sunset  Lumber  Company's  yards 
and  the  yards  of  the  Lucerne  Lumber 
Company  at  Hanford.  Fifty  thousand 
dollars  was  paid  for  the  Hanford 
yard,  according  to  reports,  and  $130,- 
000  for  the  Fresno  business.  G.  H. 
Johnson  who  has  been  associated  with 
the  Sunset  Lumber  Company  at  Fresno 
will   continue    as   branch   manager. 


C.  D.  Plumb,  representing  San  Fran- 
cisco interests,  is  seeking  a  site  in 
Oakdale,  Stanislaus  county,  on  which 
it  is  proposed  to  establish  a  box  shook 
plant.  A  small  saw  mill  and  timber 
lands  have  been  purchased  near  So- 
nora,  Tuolumne  county,  and  it  is  pro- 
posed to  truck  the  product  to  Oakdale 
for   finishing. 

Magner  Bros.,  paint  manufacturers, 
114  Ninth  street,  San  Francisco,  plan 
early  construction  of  a  four-story  re- 
inforced concrete  factory  at  Napoleon

cisco. The  structure  will  cost  in  the 
neighborhood  of  $200,000.  Driving  of 
piles  for  the  foundation  will  be  started 
at  once,  company  officials  innounce. 

Alden  W.  Jackson,  president  of  the 
Glenn  County  Lumber  Co.,  Willows, 
Calif.,  died  in  San  Francisco,  Nov.  18. 
Jackson  was  a  member  of  the  firm  of 
Pope   &   Talbot   of   San   Francisco. 


Ira  G.  Hedrick,  Wm.  D.  Smith  and 
Lloyd  G.  Frost,  consulting  engineers, 
have  formed  a  partnership,  and  will 
open  offices  in  Portland,  Ore.  The  firiii 
will  specialize  in  bridges,  reinforced 
concrete  buildings  and  hydro-electric 
development.  Mr.  Hedrick  was  for- 
merly senior  member  of  the  firm  of 
Hedrick  &  Cramers,  bridge  engineers, 
and  came  to  Portland  from  the  East 
where  he  enjoyed  a  wide  reputation  as 
a  bridge  engineer.  Mr.  smith  was  for- 
merly assistant  engineer  and  Mr.  Frost

After  one  of  the  most  bitterly 
fought  campaigns  in  the  history  of  San 
Diego,  the  city's  electors  voted  by 
nearly  three  to  one  in  favor  of  a  bond 
issue  of  $4,500,000  to  build  a  reservoir 
on  the  El  Capitan  site  on  the  San  Diego 
river.  A  suburban  irrigation  district 
recently  voted  to  accept  an  option  on 
the  site,  which  is  claimed  both  by  the 
city  of  San  Diego  and  by  the  Cuyamaca 
Water  Company.  That  phase  of  the 
dispute   is   in   the   courts.

reality  it  is  a  complete  text  book  on 
chimney  design.

Establishmcnt  of  a  1025  standard 
wage  scale  in  the  building  trades  for 
San  Francisco  and  vicinity,  which  is 
substantially  the  same  at  that  which 
prevailed  during  the  greater  part  of 
1924,  is  announced  by  the  San  Fran- 
cisco   Builders'    Exchange. 

"Our  wage  scale  was  adopted  only 
after  careful  consideration  of  living 
costs  with  a  desire  in  mind  to  produce 
steady  employment  for  the  worker," 
says  W.  H.  George,  president  of  the 
exchange.  "Officials  of  the  exchange 
believe  with  wages  established  for 
1925  that  homeseekers  and  those  con- 
templating building  will  feel  encour- 
aged and  that  a  large  building  pro- 
gram for  the  year  will  result." 

Eight  hours  will  constitute  a  day's 
work,  while  five  and  a  half  days  will 
constitute  a  week  with  most  of  the 
crafts.  For  overtime  employes  will  re- 
ceive time  and  a  half  except  on  Sun- 
days and  holidays,  when  double  time 
will  be  paid.

"DUKE"  TILDEN,  LUMBER  KING,  TO 
TREAT    RICHMOIVD    BUILDERS 

E.  M.  "Duke"  Tilden,  lumber  mag- 
nate and  a  member  of  the  Richmond 
BuSlders'  Exchange',  two  years  ago 
declared  that  when  the  membership  of 
that  organization  reached  100  he  would 
buy  a  feed  for  the  entire  membership. 

At  the  last  meeting  of  the  exchange, 
Tilden  was  officially  notified  that 
"feeding  time"  had  arrived  with  the  re- 
sult that  committees  were  appointed  to 
prepare  a  bill  of  fare  that  would  make 
the  menu  at  the  Biltmore  look  like  a 
hand-bill  alongside  50  by  50  foot  bill- 
board. 

The  feed,  according  to  L.  C.  Dexter, 
secretary  of  the  exchange,  is  scheduled 
for  Friday  evening,  December  5.

DEFAtJI-TED  HIGHWAY    CONTRACTS 
TO    BE    DISCUSSED 


f:has.  M.  Upham,  Director  of  the 
Highway  Research  Board,  has  prepared 
a  strong  program  for  the  fourth  an- 
nual meeting  of  the  Board  to  be  held 
December  4th  and  5th,  at  Washington, 
D  C.  Among  the  many  important 
topics  to  be  discussed  is  that  of  de- 
faulted  highway   contracts. 

Many  highway  executives  have  re- 
cently shown  considerable  anxiety  be- 
couse  of  the  number  of  highway  con- 
tractors who  have  defaulted  their  con- 
tracts. Unless  something  is  done  to 
prevent  the  increasing  number  of  de- 
faulted contracts,  the  state,  contrac- 
tor, bonding  company  and  material  men 
are  all  bound  to  be  losers. 

There  are  always  present  those  who 
try  to  do  more  than  they  are  capable 
of,  and  this  statement  holds  true  for 
highway  contractors  as  well  as  in  other 
callings.  While  many  time  unforseen 
elements  creep  into  the  job  and  force 
the  contractor  to  abandon  the  work,  it 
has  been  pointed  out  that  much  time 
and  money  could  be  saved  if  the  con- 
tractor were  fully  aware  of  the  hidden 
dangers  that  confront  him,  and  also 
that  he  would  be  held  to  a  strict  per- 
formance of  the  work.  Lack  of 
finances,  equipment  and  knowledge  of. 
the  class  of  work  undertaken  are  main 
reasons   for  many  of  their  defaults. 

There  is,  however,  another  phase  of 
the  problem,  and  that  is  the  relation  of 
the  bonding  companies  to  the  contrac- 
tor. 

Thomas  H.  MacDonald,  Chief  of  the 
Bureau  of  Public  Roads,  hold  to  the 
belief  that  the  bonding  companies 
should  make  a  more  careful  study  of 
bonds.  Many  contractors  take  a  Job 
and  expect  that  they  can  pay  for  their 
equipment,  carry  their  payroll,  and  at 
the  same  time  make  a  profit.  Very 
often  the  contractor  who  does  not  have 
a  cash  reserve  is  forced  to  abandon  the 
work  because  of  his  inability  to  meet 
his  current  expenses.  Mr.  MacDonald's 
suggestion  that  the  best  remedy,  so  far 
developed,  is  the  practice  of  several 
states  in  requiring  the  contractor  to 
have  a  certain  balance,  or  some  other 
definite  financial  arrangement,  before 
the  contract  is  awarded.  This  is  sound 
business  and  would  minimize  the  num- 
ber of  contracts  defaulted.  Of  course, 
this  does  not  mean  that  there  should  be 
a  fixed  amount  of  money  available,  but 
rather  that  the  amount  should  vary 
with  the  size  and  class  of  the  contract 
to  be  undertaken. 


BUILDING      AND      ENGINEERING      NEWS  Saturday,    November    22.    1924 

U.    S.    Commerce    Department 
Compiles   Dependable   Plumbing   Code 


EX-RAYS    Ijr   CONSTRUCTION 


A  cash  saving  and  assurance  of  sani- 
tary precautions  for  every  plumbing 
installation  have  been  made  possible  by 
the  recommendation  of  the  Subcommit- 
tee on  Plumbing  Codes  appointed  by 
Secretary  of  Commerce  Hoover.  The 
Committee's  recommendations,  which 
may  be  adopted  by  any  State  or  muni- 
cipality, help  to  make  good  plumbing 
more  available,  leading  to  higher  liv- 
ing standards,  better  health  and  less 
household  drudgery,  the  report  says. 

This    report   may   be   truly    termed   a 
"people's    plumbing    code",    and    is    the 
first  real  government  recognition   giv- 
en  to   the  business  of  plumbing  in  the 
United  States,  according  to  William  C. 
Groeniger    of    Columbus,    Ohio,    a    con- 
sulting     sanitary      engineer      of      long 
standing,    and    a    member    of    the    sub- 
committee.  He    states   that   the   recom- 
mendations of  the  Department  of  Com- 
merce   committee    are    thoroughly    de- 
pendable   since    they    rest    on    a    back- 
ground  of   scientific  tests,   and   that   a 
State   or  city  code  following  them  will 
"protect    the    public      from      insanitary 
plumbing  and  the  influence  of  harmful 
•surroundings   caused   by   reckless   com- 
petition, the  use  of  cheap  and  defective 
material,     and     improper     installation, 
through    regulation     of     the    location, 
construction,    installation    and    inspec- 
tion   of    plumbing".    In    the    opinion   of 
Mr       Groeniger,      the      importance      of 
plumbing  in  modern  life  is  not  general- 
ly  appreciated   today.   "Go   back   thirty 
years."  he  says,  "or  even  twenty  years 
and    comuare   women's   work   then   and 
today  and  it  will  be  found  that  most  of 
the  drudgery  existing  has  been  elimin- 
ated by  the  plumbing  system.  Hot  and 
cold   water    for   drinking,    bathing   and 
domestic   purposes   is   conveniently   ar- 
ranged for  use  in  the  laundry,  kitchen, 
bath  and  bed  rooms.  Domestic  and  body 
wastes  are  swiftly  and  safely  removed 
fr'om    the    immediate    premises    by    the 
drainage    system.    Labor   has    been    re- 
duced, comfort  and  conveniences  added 
and     personal     cleanliness     simplified, 
pure   water  supplied,   foul     odors,     un- 
healthful   conditions   and   the   elements 
favorable    to    the    origin    and    develop- 
ment   of    disease    have    been    removed. 
^But  in  the  case  of  second  class  dram- 
aee  and  plumbing  systems,"  warns  Mr. 
Sroen  ger     "discomfort,    inconvenience, 
co^t   of   repairs,    foul   odors,    insanitary 


and  unhealthful  conditions  result,  and 
thp  occupant  must  pay  for  them.  Sani- 
tary plumbing  is  of  more  real  value 
than  medicine.  A  plumbing  system 
stands  for  cleanliness,  and  cleanliness 
mrans  healthfulness." 

Summing  up  the  report,  Mr.  Groeni- 
per  believes  the  model  regulations 
framed  by  the  committee  are: 

(1)  Dependable  as  a  code  that  will 
insure  the  health  of  the  people  and  pre- 
vent insanitary  and  unhealthful  condi- 
tions. 

(2)  Dependable  because  it  is  scien- 
tifically practicable  insuring  the  great- 
est protection  of  health  at  a  minimum 
cost. 

(3)  Dependable  because  it  gives  the 
same  protection  to  those  in  the  rural 
and  urban  districts  as  it  does  to  those 
in  the  populated  cities. 

(4)  Dependable  because  it  is  a  peo- 
ple's plumbing  code  written  entirely  in 
the  interest  of  what  is  good  for  the 
people. 

(a)  Dependable  because  it  elimin- 
ates the  inconsistencies,  indifference, 
local  pride  and  prejudice  found  in 
many  existing  codes,  and 

(6)  Dependable  because  it  recog- 
nizes that  good  plumbing  is  a  matter 
which  concerns  health  and  the  govern- 
ment has  the  right  to  protect  the  peo- 
ple's health. 

To  eliminate  complications,  confu- 
.sion,  ill-advised  specialties,  inconsis- 
tencies and  lack  of  impartial  enforce- 
ment of  the  varied  plumbing  codes 
throughout  the  United  States,  it  had 
iung  been  felt  that  a  standard  code  was 
necessary  to  serve  all  communities 
alike.  But  there  appeared  to  be  no 
practical  way  of  framing  a  standard 
code,  and  it  was  urged  on  Secretary 
Hoover  that  the  Department  of  Com- 
merce initiate  the  work.  He  appointed 
a  committee,  exhaustive  tests  were 
made  at  the  Bureau  of  Standards,  and 
the  report  is  the  result.  Although  small 
and  minor  changes  and  additions  may 
be  necessary  in  various  sections  to 
suit  climatic  and  other  local  conditions, 
the  principles  underlying  plumbing 
science  and  sanitation  are  in  the  main 
the  same  everywhere  and  need  to  be 
recognized  in  local  plumbing  regula- 
tions. 


X-Rays  have  been  successfully  used 
in  building  alteration  work  at  Schenec- 
tady, N.  Y.,  in  ascertaining  the  location 
of  pipes  and  timbers  within  the  floor. 
This  information  the  contractor  ob- 
tained quickly,  without  disturbing  the 
structure,  by  the  use  of  a  new  portable 
X-Eay  apparatus  which,  with  an 
operator,  was  placed  on  the  floor  of  the 
room  below.  An  observer  in  the  room 
above  examined  the  floor  with  a 
fluorescent  screen  by  means  of  which 
the  pipes  and  timbers  were  seen  dis- 
tinctly. To  use  this  apparatus  it  is 
only  necessary  to  connect  an  ordinary 
extension  cord  to  the  nearest  socket  of 
the  house  circuit;  X-Rays  are  then 
produced  by  pressing  the  switch.  Since 
the  outfit  is  in  a  metal  container  within 
a  leather-covered  wooden  case,  there 
is  no  high-voltage  hazard.  The  outfit 
is  grounded  to  the  container.  With  the 
specially  designed  transformer  and 
tube  the  entire  apparatus  is  mounted 
in  a  box  about  6'4xl0i4xS?4  in.  and 
weighs  only  about  20  lbs.  This  new 
apparatus  has  been  developed  by  Dr. 
W  D  Coolidge  at  the  laboratories  of 
the  General  Electric  Co.— Engineering

WOOD  PKESBRVING  IN  1023 


The  Department  of  Commerce  an- 
nounces that,  according  to  data  col- 
lected at  the  biennial  census  of  manu- 
factures, 1923,  the  establishment  en- 
gaged primarily  in  the  treatment  of 
wood  to  prevent  decay  and  for  protec- 
tion against  fire,  etc.,  reported  products 
valued  at  $71,082,869,  an  increase  of 
49.9  per  cent  as  compared  with  1921,  the 
last  preceding  census  year. 

Of  the  103  establishments  reporting 
for  1923,  11  were  located  in  Illinois,  7 
each  in  Louisiana  and  Texas,  6  each  in 
Indiana  and  New  York,  5  each  In 
Georgia,  Mississippi,  and  Ohio,  4  each 
in  Missouri,  New  Jersey,  Oregon,

The  total  value  of  building  permits 
Issued  In  twenty-flve  of  the  larger 
cities  of  the  country  during  the  first 
nine  months  of  this  year  exceeds  that 
of  the  same  period  last  year  by  about 
J144,000,000,  according  to  a  survey  re- 
cently made  by  S.  W.  Straus  &  Co. 
Twenty  of  the  twenty-flve  cities  show 
a  gain  over  the  first  nine  months  of 
last  year.  The  greatest  increase  be- 
ing in  New  York  where  the  permits 
this  year  exceed  In  value  those  of 
1923  by  approximately  ?106, 000,000. 
Detroit  also  has  experienced  a  big 
building  boom  and  has  paid  up  an  ex- 
cess of  about  $25,000,000  over  last 
year.  Of  the  five  cities  where  per- 
mits have  fallen  off,  Chicago  heads  the 
list  with  a  loss  of  about  $31,000,000; 
Los  Angeles  is  next  with  $28,000,000; 
Washington,  D.  C.  is  about  $5,500,000 
under  last  year,  wliile  St.  Louis  shows 
a  loss  of  $5,000,000.  Cincinnati  com- 
pletes the  list  and  is  approximately 
$000,000  under  last  year.  The  permits 
issued  in  September  this  year  in  the 
twenty-flve  cities  exceed  in  value  those 
of  last  September  by  approximately 
$12,000,000. 


to  have  the  approval  of  practically  all 
of  the  associations  allied  with  the 
building  industry  in  the  city.  The 
Southern  California  Chapter  of  the  As- 
sociated General  Contractors  of 
America  has  not  taken  action  on  the 
proposed  regulation  and  it  is  under- 
stood that  several  members  are  op- 
posed to  it  on  the  grounds  that  licens- 
ing building  contractors  by  munici- 
palities is  only  a  makeshift  and  they 
are  in  favor  of  going  before  the 
legislature  in  an  endeavor  to  have  a 
state  law  enacted  to  cover  the  situa- 
tion. 


The  United  States  Gypsum  Com- 
pany has  started  a  campaign  to  educate 
prospective  builders  in  methods  of 
building  during  inclement  weather. 
Data  assembled  by  the  Gypsum  Com- 
pany shows  that  building  costs  in 
winter  are  materially  less  than  those 
in  summer.  Completion  is  quicker, 
materials  are  cheaper,  labor  is  more 
efficient,  easier  to  find  and  less  ex- 
acting as  to  wages.  Contractors  who 
employ  men  the  year  round  are  not 
confronted  with  demands  for  bonuses 
and  extra  wages  as  are  demanded 
when  the  industry  is  working  on  an 
eight-raonths-out-of- the- twelve  basis. 
In  the  survey  made  by  the  Gypsum 
Company  on  one  building  costing  $750,- 
000  it  was  estimated  that  $87,712  was 
saved  by  winter  construction,  while 
the  total  cost  of  protecting  it  from 
weatlier  was  only  $3863.  It  was  found 
on  this  particular  operation  that  the 
efficiency  of  the  bricklayers  increased 
approxiinately  18  per  cent. 


The  year  1924  will  go  down  in 
history,  not  so  much  because  of  the 
building  records  it  will  have  broken, 
as  for  the  wasteful,  costly  and  out-of- 
date  precedents,  usages  and  trade  cus- 
toms it  has  seen  demolished.  Is  the 
opinon  expressed  by  Allen  B.  Beals 
writing  in  the  current  Dow  Service 
Daily  Building  Reports.  It  has  seen 
trade  purging  processes  applied  to  cer- 
tain branches  of  the  building  trades 
with  a  vigor  and  righteousness  that 
has  surpassed  the  most  sanguine  ex- 
pectations of  its  proponents,  and  as  the 
year  passes  Into  history  it  hears  the 
call  from  other  trades  for  similar  puri- 
fication  and  ennoblement. 


Building  costs  throughout  the  country 
are  well  staballzed  according  to  a  re- 
cent survey  made  by  S.  W.  Straus  & 
Company.  The  report  says,  "A  number 
of  the  current  indices  of  construction 
cos.ts  indicate  a  further  slight  decline 
during  September.  The  decline  is 
variously  measured  from  slightly  under 
one  to  about  one  and  three-quarters 
per  cent,  and  is  attributed  largely  to 
continued  weakness  in  the  steel  and 
lumber  markets.  Comparative  staba- 
lization  exists  in  the  starting  materials 
market.  Sand,  gravel  and  crushed 
stone  show  a  few  changes,  though  in- 
creased firmness  has  been  evidenced  in 
a  number  of  places." 


A  city  ordinance  is  being  prepared 
in  Los  Angeles  that  will  require  all 
building  contractors  to  be  licensed. 
The    proposed   ordinance   is   understood 


The  United  States  Supreme  Court 
recently  handed  down  an  important 
decision  when  it  reversed  a  ruling  of 
the  Circuit  Court  of  Appeals  of  the 
Seventh  District,  which  held  that  trial 
by  jury  was  not  a  matter  of  right  of 
employes  charged  with  contempt  of 
court  for  violation  of  Injunctions  aris- 
ing out  labor  disputes. 


CEMENT   PRODUCTION    IN   1923 


LIME   PRODUCTS    IN    1923 


The  Department  of  Commerce  an- 
liounces  that,  according  to  the  data 
collected  at  the  biennial  census  of  man- 
ufactures, 1923,  the  establishments  en- 
gaged primarily  in  the  manufacture  oE 
I'orlland,  natural,  puzzolan,  .vni  Iiigh- 
temperatiire  cements  in  that  year  re- 
ported a  total  production  valued  at 
5285,050,551,  an  increase  of  40  per  cent 
as  compared  with  $203,626,929  in  1921, 
the  last  preceding"  census  year.  The 
quantities  and  values  of  the  principal 
products  were  as  follows:  Portland 
cement  137,460,238  barrels  valued  at 
$278,732,025,  an  average  of  $2.02  per 
barrel;  natural  and  puzzolan  cement — 
1  325,465  barrels  valued  at  $2,061,894,  an 
average  of  $1.5.5  per  barrel. 

Of  the  138  c.-^t ablishments  repor'.ing 
for  1923,  23  were  located  In  Pennsyl- 
vania, 14  In  Michigan,  12  In  New  York, 
U  in  California,  S  in  Kansas,  7  in  Ohio, 
6  m  Alabama,  5  each  in  Illinois,  In- 
diana, Iowa,  Missouri,  and  Texas,  and 
the   remaining  34   In   15  other  States. 


The  Department  of  Commerce  an- 
nounces that,  according  to  reports  for 
the  biennial  census  of  manufactures, 
1923,  the  establishments  engaged  pri- 
marily in  the  manufacture  of  lime  pri- 
ducts  in  that  year  reported  a  total  out- 
put valued  at  $47,243,756,  an  Increase 
of  52.3  per  cent  as  compared  with  $31,- 
015,487  in  1921,  the  last  preceding 
census  year.  The  total  production  for 
1923  comprised  2,510,283  tons  of  quick- 
lime valued  at  $25,693,305;  1,255,562  tons 
of  hydrated  lime  valued  at  $13,851,455, 
2,926,725  tons  of  limestone  sold  as  such, 
valued  at  $3,515,631;  and  miscellaneous 
products — crushed  stone,  ground  lime- 
stone, fiux,  etc. — to  the  value  of  $4,- 
189  365 

Of  the  333  establishments  reporting 
for  1923,  68  were  located  in  Penn- 
sylvania, 33  in  Virginia,  24  in  Wiscon- 
sin, 22  in  Ohio,  18  in  Missouri,  14  In 
New  York,  13  in  Tennessee,  11  In  Ala- 
bama, 10  each  in  Maryland  and  Mas- 
sachusetts, 9  each  in  California,  Illinois, 
Indiana,  and  Vermont,  and  the  remain-

Announcement  is  made  of  the  affiliation  of  the  Western  Safety  Manufactur- 
ing Co.,  Inc.,  of  San  Francisco,  manufacturers  of  electrical  safety  switches,  with 
the  firm  of  Brown  and  Pengilly,  2114  East  Ninth  street,  Los  Angeles.  The  latter 
concern  manufactures  switch  and  panel  boards.  The  former  company  m  future 
will  manufacture  and  distribute  in  conjunction  with  the  Los  Angeles  firm  all 
switchboards  and  panels  in  the  northern  section  of  California. 


The  panels  and  switchboards  are  well  known 
on  the  Pacific  Coast  and  are  extensively  used  in 
the  Southern  California  section,  where,  company 
officials  point  out,  more  than  seventy-five  per 
cent  of  the  office  buildings,  theatres,  clubs  and 
hotels  erected  within  the  past  few  years  have 
been  equipped  with  the  Brown  and  Pengilly  in- 
stallations. 

Among  the  more  important  installations  re- 
cently completed  in  the  Southern  California  sec- 
tion is  the  Biltmore  Hotel  in  Los  Angeles.  Other 
large  installations  include  Grauman's  Metropolitan 
Theatre  in  Los  Angeles  and  another  in  Holly- 
wood. The  Pacific  Finance  Building,  the  Uni- 
versity Club,  Pacific  Mutual  Building  and  other 


notable  structures  have  been  equipped  with  the 
Brown  and  Pengilly  switch  and  panel  boards. 

The  materials  used  in  the  manufacture  of  the 
boards  are  of  the  highest  quality.  G.  E.  Toggle 
switches  and  Jolms-Manville  Ebony  boards^  are 
used  in  the  manufacture.  The  products  are  in- 
spected and  approved  by  the  National  Board  of 
Fire  Underwriters  and  meet  with  the  approval  of 
all  local  departments.

I.01V   BIDDERS   MAY   t:.\NCEL   HIGH- 
WAY  PROPOS.\LS 


According  to  the  Highway  Builder, 
the  state  of  New  York,  following  the 
example  set  by  the  Department  of 
Highways  of  Pennsylvania,  has  sent 
the  following  notice  to  highway  con 
structors: 

"Any  bidder,  or  his  duly  authorized 
agent,  who  has  submitted  proposals 
on  more  than  one  project  at  any  one 
letting  may,  at  his  option  and  upon 
written  request,  withdraw  any  or  all  oC 
his  additional  proposals  after  the  offi- 
cial of  the  bureau  opening  and  read- 
ing the  bids  has  announced  that  such 
bidder  has  submitted  the  lowest  pro- 
posal on  the  project  for  which  bids 
have  last  been  read.  When  this  option 
is  exercised,  the  proposal  for  other 
projects  in  the  letting  will  be  returned 
to  the  bidder  unopened.  No  retiirnid 
bids  will  be  considered  after  the  bid- 
der has  exercised  his  privilege  to 
withdraw  same,  nor  will  any  bids  be 
considered  which  have  not  been  de- 
posited with  the  bureau  prior  to  the 
time    indicated    in    the    advertisement. 

Any  bidder  so  withdrawing  his  bid  or 
bids  waives  all  claims  that  may  arise 
should  it  be  found  that  his  opened 
proposal  is  informal  or  for  any  reason 
unacceptable  to  the  bureau.  The  bu- 
reau will  open  and  read  projects  in 
the  order  in  which  they  are  drawn  and 
not  in  the  order  in  which  the  projects 
are   advertised. 


PACIFIC  STATES  LU.MBER  COMPANY 
Sl'ED  IN  LARGE  CONTRACT 


A  suit  for  $100,000,  charging  breach 
of  contract,  has  been  filed  by  John  H. 
Haak  against  Charles  A.  Smith  and 
the  Pacific  States  Lumber  Company  in 
the  United  States  District  Court  at 
San   Francisco. 

Haak  alleged  in  his  complaint  that 
he  contracted  with  the  lumber  com- 
pany, an  $8,000,000  concern,  to  raise 
funds  of  from.  $3,000,000  to  $8,000,000. 
After  approaching  the  Second  Ward 
Securities  Company  of  Milwaukee,  AVis., 
Haak  charges  that  Smith  and  the  lum- 
ber company  informed  him  they  had  de- 
cided they  did  not  need  the  money. 
Later  the  Second  Ward  Securities  Com- 
panv  issued  first  mortgage  8  per  cent 
gold  bonds  for  $7,300,000,  Haak  alleged. 
Haak  charges  he  spent  two  years  on 
the  money  raising  scheme  and  expend- 
ed more  than  $5000. 


.VRCHITECTURE      STYLES      OF    U.    S. 
ARE  DKVEI,OPING 


America  Is  working  out  its  own 
notions  of  architecture,  despite  the 
fondness  of  Americans  to  identify  our 
effort  in  this  field  with  that  of  the 
ancients,  Professor  William  A.  Boring 
asserts  in  his  annual  report  as  director 
i.f  the  School  of  Architecture  of  Col- 
umbia University  to  President  Nicholas 
Murray  Butler,   made   public  recently. 

"It  i.s  now  fashionable  in  America 
to  liken  our  tendencies  and  our  prob- 
alile  decline  to  those  of  Rome  citing  as 
proof  the  resemblance  of  American 
public  buildings  to  those  of  Rome." 
says  Professor  Boring.  "While  our 
stadiums  and  places  of  public  assembly 
are  not  unlike  those  of  the  anclent^^, 
the  majority  of  our  buildings  are  of  a 
new  system  of  construction  and  are  de- 
fined by  new  requirements. 

"This  requires  us  in  our  teaching  to 
iruide  students  to  personal  and  inde- 
pendent thought  in  design,  and  to  ac- 
i|uaint  them  with  the  achievements  of 
tlie  past  and  those  truths  of  beauty 
which  consciously  or  uncon|Sciously, 
L    ntrol   all   artists. 

"Training  in  architecture  might  well 
l)e  defined  as  leading  from  instruction 
to  reproductive  imagination,  from  this 
to  productive  imagination,  and  finally 
to  vision,  that  divine  sense  with  which 
genius  is  endowed  and  which  we  en- 
deavor to  cultivate  in  the  lesser  mortals 
who  have  to  work  for  it." 

The  past  year  has  been  successful  in 
its  work  and  in  attendance,  which  has 
grown  from  sixty-nine  to  101  students, 
and  the  quality  of  the  entrants  appears 
to  be  improving,  according  to  Pro- 
fessor Boring.  The  facilities  of  the 
school  will  not  permit  a  larger  at- 
tendance than  about  120.  and  it  may  be 
that  some  form  of  competition  test  will 
be  advisable  for  admission  in  the  near 
future. 


CONCRETE     TILE  LAAV     IS  REVISED 
AT  SEATTLE 

The  Building  Code  Revision  Com- 
mittee of  Seattle^  W'ash..  has  recom- 
mended to  the  city  council  certain 
changes  in  the  existing  code  providing 
for  the  use  of  concrete  tile  heretofore 
not  permitted.  Extensive  studies  as  to 
the  load-carrying  capacity  and  fire  re- 
sistant qualities  of  concrete  tile  were 
niude  and  it  was  voted  16  to  3  by  the 
ei)mmission  to  allow  the  use  of  the  coh- 
ere te   product. 

It  is  recommended  by  the  commis- 
sion that  the  proposed  ordinance  re- 
quire 1%-inch  webs  on  all  concrete  tile 
for  bearing  walls,  except  in  residences, 
wherein  1-inch  webs  are  permitted.  It 
is  also  suggested  that  1-inch  webs  be 
permitted  for  non-bearing  and  filler 
walls.  The  IVi-inch  web  concrete  tile 
was  given  tile  same  rating  as  terra 
entta  tile,  which  is  now  used  for  bear- 
ing"  and    non-ljearing   walls.

TWO     MILLION     DOLLAR     DAM     FOR 
FEATHER    RIVER 


.  I'lans  for  the  construction  of  a  huge 
dam  on  the  Feather  river  at  an  esti- 
mated cost  of  $2,000,000  are  announced 
by  Mortimer  Fleishacker,  president  of 
the  Great  Western  Power  Company  of 
San  Francisco. 

The  plans,  coincident  with  an  an- 
nouncement that  a  merger  of  the  Great 
Western  Power  Comuany  and  the  San 
Joaquin  Valley  Light  &  Power  Com- 
pany was  under  consideration,  indicated 
that  the  dam  will  provide  reservoir 
space  for  some  1,300,000  acre  feet  of 
water. 

In  discussing  the  transaction  under 
which  he  and  his  brother  Herbert 
would  retire  from  the  hydro-electric 
power  business,   Fleishacker  said: 

"The  deal  has  not  been  completed 
and  we  deplore  the  premature  announce- 
ment of  the  negotiations,  which  may  be 
completed   this   week. 

"The  crux  of  the  whole  matter  lies 
in  a  plan  which  the  Great  Western 
Power  Company  has  had  under  con- 
sideration for  some  time  of  building  a 
new  dam  on  the  Feather  Eiver  at  a 
cost  of  something  like   $2,000,000. 

"This  dam  will  provide  a  storage 
reservoir  of  1,300,000  acre  feet  of  water, 
one  of  the  biggest  power  reservoirs  in 
the  world  and  about  equal  to  the  big 
dam  on   the  Nile." 


State  supervision  over  mortgage  and 
finanie  companies  is  limited;  there- 
fore, Investors  should  use  the  greatest 
caution   in  investing  In  these  concerns. 

This  is  a  substance  of  a  warning  is- 
sued by  Edwin  M.  Daughcrty,  State 
Corporation  Commission,  who  says  he 
believes  a  few  words  of  caution  are 
necessary  because  of  the  surprising  in- 
crease in  a  number  of  these  companies 
in   California. 

Without  any  Intention  of  discrediting 
any  company  doing  a  legitimate  and 
honest  business,  Coraraisslooner  Daugh- 
erty  announced  that  of  nineteen  so- 
called  mortgage  and  finance  companies 
recently  examined,  not  one  was  found 
to  be  in  first  class  condition.  The 
assets  of  more  than  %  of  these  con- 
cerns were  "frozen."  That  is  to  say, 
their  assets  were  tied  up  in  such  a 
manner  that  Hiey  could  not  be  used  in 
case  of  emergency.  One  company  had 
dissipated  its  assets  and  most  of  the 
concerns  had  violated  the  terms  of 
permits  issued  by  the  Corporation  De- 
partment. 

"It  is  only  when  these  violations 
come  to  the  attention  of  the  department 
that  the  latter  can  take  action,"  the 
Commissioner  said,  "By  that  time  the 
damage  to  investors  has  been  ac- 
complished. The  safest  rule  one  can 
suggest  to  a  prospective  investor  is 
not  to  put  his  money  into  these  com- 
panies unless  he  knows  and  has  con- 
fidence  in   their  officers." 

"It  is  always  well  to  keep  in  mind," 
the  Commissioner  added,  "that  a  permit 
issued  by  the  Corporation  Department 
means  only  that  the  plan  submitted  by 
a  company  has  appealed  to  the  De- 
partment as  being  fair,  just  and 
equitable.  When  such  a  plan  is  pre- 
sented by  men  represented  as  square, 
the  permit  must  issue.  It  Is  then  the 
duty  ■  of  the  men  behind  the  plan  to 
carry  it   to   success." 

"Experience  shows  the  fault  is  not 
so  much  with  the  plan  as  the  method 
employed  by  unscrupulous  or  inex- 
perienced individuals  back  ot  it,"  the 
Commissioner  said. 

"Investigation  by  the  department 
shows  that  many  brokers  have  been  in- 
strumental in  organizing  finance  com- 
panies, apparently  for  the  chief  pur- 
pose of  selling  the  stock  to  the  public, 
and  indirectly  getting  in  touch  with 
persons  who  have  other  securities 
which  might  be  the  subject  of  trade. 
In  many  ot  these  cases,  little  a'tention 
is  given  to  placing  the  companies  in 
the  hands  of  proper  management." 


■\V.   TV'S.   TIE    UP      CONSTRUCTION 
AVORK  IN  NORTH 


Alleged  I.  W.  W%  agitation,  which 
has  tied  up  operations  on  the  Natron 
railroad  cut-off  and  other  construction 
work  in  various  Pacific  Coast  places, 
apparently  has  had  Its  effect  at  the 
California-Oregon  Power  Company's 
site  on  the  Klamath  river  in  northern 
California,  where  a  new  generating 
plant  is  being  constructed,  when  more 
than  100  tunnel  men  walked  out,  tem- 
porarily tying  up  most  of  the  tunnel 
work.  According  to  officials  of  the 
company,  which  has  headquarters  In 
Medford,  Ore.,  several  alleged  I.  W.  W. 
agitators  slipped  into  camp  and  in  a 
few  days  a  spirit  of  unrest  developed 
which  resulted  in  demands  which  Su- 
perintendent Kermach  of  the  company 
refused. 


All  of  those  who  h.ive  been  watch- 
ing developments  closely  In  the  con- 
^I'uction  industry  are  unanimous  In 
their  opinion  that  there  will  be  no  de- 
pression during  the  coming  winter.  It 
is  true  that  there  was  a  slight  decline 
in  construction  activity  during  the 
summer  months  in  some  localities,  but 
this  was  in  the  nature  of  a  seasonal 
reaction  rather  than  a  general  slowing 
down  in  the  industry.  Recently  there 
has  been  what  can  be  regarded  as  a 
distinct  upward  trend  in  building,  due 
to  the  more  favorable  near  outlook 
in  general  business  and  the  approach 
of  cooler  weather,  prompting  the  plac- 
ing of  contracts  for  Immediate  con- 
struction  needs. 

Building  costs  are  more  stable  now 
than  they  have  been  for  some  time  and 
there  Is  every  reason  to  believe  that 
this  condition  will  exist  for  several 
months.  This  Is  especially  true  as  re- 
gards wage  rates  and  It  is  unlikely 
that  there  will  be  any  change  in  scales 
either  upward  or  downward  until  next 
spring.  Building  material  coats  may 
possibly  show  a  slight  advance  in 
some  lines  before  the  end  of  the  year, 
but  it  Is  not  believed  that  this  will 
materially  affect  building  costs  In  gen- 
eral. 

Judging  from  the  vast  number  of 
major  construction  jobs  now  getting 
under  way  all  over  the  country,  which 
will  carry  over  into  1925,  the  advan- 
tages of  winter  construction  ■will  be 
demonstrated  and  hereafter  the  Indus- 
try will  never  again  be  faced  with  a 
seasonal  stoppage  due  to  the  one  time 
prevalent  idea  that  it  was  impracti- 
cable to  carry  on  work  during  cold 
weather. 


FORM  CLAY  PRODUCTS  INSTITUTE 


With  representatives  present  from 
the  American  Face  Brick  Association, 
Clay  Products  Association,  Common 
Brick  Manufacturers  Association,  Hol- 
low Building  Tile  Association,  National 
Paving  Brick  Manufacturers  Associa- 
tion and  the  National  Terra  Cotta  So- 
ciety, action  was  taken  at  a  meeting  In 
Chicago  in  October  to  create  the  Clay 
Products  Institute.  The  new  orgnlza- 
tion,  those  interested  in  It  point  out, 
will  mean  much  to  the  heavy  clay  pro- 
ducts industries  not  only  In  bringing 
them  closer  together  on  problems  of 
joint  Interest  but  in  affoding  means  for 
research. 

Frank  Butterworth,  general  manager 
of  the  Western  Brick  Co.,  Danville,  111., 
was  elected  president  of  the  Clay  Pro- 
ducts Institute.  The  other  officers  are 
W.  P.  Whitney,  Pres.,  Springfield  Paving 
Brick  Co..  Springfield,  111.,  vice-pres- 
ident; and  J.  S.  Sleeper,  secretary.  Hol- 
low Building  Tile  Association,  secre- 
tary. The  secretaryship  will  rotate 
from  year  to  year  among  the  secretaries 
of  the  member  associations.  The  In- 
stitute will  hold  annual  meetings 
during  the  fourth  week  in  April  In 
Washington,  D.  C.

Six  carloads  of  hollow  tile  have  already 
been  shipped  to  Bakersfield  for  the 
new   post   ofljce   buUling.

ALONG  THE  LINE 


THE  OBSERVER 

WHAT  HE  HEARS  AND  SEES  ON  HIS  ROUNDS 


The  monthly  summary  of  business 
conditions  in  the  Twelfth  Federal  Re- 
serve District,  as  reported  by  John  Per- 
rin,  Federal  Reserve  Agent,  in  part, 
says:  "Productive  activity  in  the  prin- 
cipal industries  of  the  district  wras  well 
maintained  during  October,  although 
seasonal  curtailment  in  some  lines 
caused  a  moderate  decrease  in  the  vol- 
ume of  employment.  The  amount  of 
building  construction  now  under  way 
is  large,  and  so  also  is  the  amount  of 
building  in  prospect  as  shown  by  the 
number  and  value  of  building  permits 
issued  in  20  principal  cities  during 
October,  The  totals  for  the  month,  ex- 
cluding the  figures  for  Los  Angeles 
where  a  large  decline  occurred,  were 
slightly  above  the  record  figures  of 
October  a  year  ago.  The  value  of 
building  permits  issued  in  these  cities 
during  the  first  ten  months  of  1924  has 
been  but  5.0  per  cent  less  than  the 
value  of  permits  issued  in  the  corres- 
ponding period  of  1923,  and  this  despite 
the  fact  that  the'  cost  of  building  was 
higher  during  the  earlier  year.  Lum- 
ber mills  of  the  district  increased  their 
output  during  October,  but  sales  were 
smaller  than  in  the  previous  month, 
and  considerably  less  than  production. 
While  distributors  and  consumers  of 
lumber  have  shown  little  tendency  to 
anticipate  future  needs,  many  mills  are 
reported  to  have  limited  sale  commit- 
ments in  expectation  of  a  rise  in 
prices." 

Donald  McLaren  of  the  MacRorie- 
McLaren  Company,  landscape  engineers 
of  San  Francisco,  has  been  named  of- 
ficial landscape  architect  of  the  pro- 
posed Transcontinental  Highways  Ex- 
position to  be  held  in  Reno,  Nevada,  in 
1926.  The  Exposition  is  intended  to 
celebrate  the  completion  of  the 
Truckee-Reno  highway  along  the 
Truckee  river  and  is  primarily  to  in- 
fluence the  trend  of  automobile  tourist 
traffic  through  Reno  to  Northern  Cali- 
fornia. In  the  past  the  tourist  travel 
has  been  diverted  at  Salt  Lake  to 
Southern  California. 


Edgar  Blair,  53,  for  eleven  years  ar- 
chitect for  the  Seattle  city  school  de- 
partment, died  in  that  city,  Nov.  9.  He 
was  a  graduate  of  the  Columbia  Uni- 
versity, New  York  City.  During  recent 
years  Mr.  Blair  has  been  editor  and 
publisher  of  the  Washington  State  Ar- 
chitect as  well  as  having  been  a  past 
president  of  the  Washington  State 
Chapter   of  Architects. 


Salem,  Oregon,  passed  a  new  zoning 
ordinance  at  the  last  election  whereby 
building  permits  will  be  granted  auto- 
matically if  the  building  conforms  to 
the  ordinance.  Heretofore  the  council 
has  had  to  pass  upon  each  application. 
In  the  future  all  permits  will  be 
granted  by  the  board  of  public  worlis. 


Holmes  Lime  &  Cement  Company 
has  let  a  contract  for  a  four-story 
frame  mortar  plant  to  be  erected  at 
De  Haro  and  Division  streets,  San 
Francisco.  The  plant  will  cost  in  ex- 
cess of  $15,000,  exclusive  of  equipment 
to   be    installed. 


W.  P.  Fuller  Co.,  paint  manufactur- 
ers, plans  early  construction  of  a  four- 
story  reinforced  concrete  warehouse  in 
Los  Angeles.  The  structure  will  cover 
an  area  of  200  by  200  feet  and  will  cost 
in   the   neighborhood   of   $350,000. 


The  November  issue  of  the  Monthly 
Labor  Review  contains  special  articles 
on  labor  productivity  and  costs  in  cer- 
tain building  trades  by  Ethelbert 
Stewart,  United  States  Commissioner 
of  Labor  Statistics.  The  field  work  of 
the  investigation  of  the  building  in- 
dustry was  done  in  1923.  Changes  in 
building  methods  and  lack  of  records 
as  to  labor  productivity  resulted  in 
certain  modifications  in  the  scope  of 
the  investigation.  The  average  rate  of 
pay  per  hour  in  bricklaying  was  found 
to  vary  in  different  cities  from  $1.01  to 
$1.76,  while  the  cost  of  laying  1000 
bricks  ranged  from  $4.82  in  Birming- 
ham, Ala.,  to  $14.87  in  Indianapolis, 
Ind.  In  plastering,  the  hourly  rate  of 
pay  varied  from  95.7  cents  to  $1.87% 
and  in  painting  from  63  cents  to  83 
cents,  the  reports  for  the  latter  occu- 
pation,    however,       relating      only       to 


Two  Northwestern  timber  sales,  with 
an  aggregate  transfer  of  $8,400,000 
were  reported  in  Portland,  Ore.,  Nov. 
21.  One  was  the  sale  by  A  S.  Berry 
of  Seattle  of  approximately  800,000,000 
feet  of  timber  on  10,000  acres  in  Clat- 
sop County,  Ore.,  adjoining  the  exten- 
sive holdings  of  the  Oregon  American 
Lumber  Company,  to  a  subsidiary  cor- 
poration of  this  company.  The  pur- 
chase price  was  $2.50  a  thousand  feet. 
The  other  was  the  purchase  by  the 
Long-Bell  Lumber  Company  of  1,600,- 
000,000  feet  of  high  grade  timber  on 
the  upper  Cowlitz  River  in  South- 
western Washington,  from  the  Weyer- 
haeuser Timber  Company  at  Vi  a 
thousand   feet. 


Upon  request  of  the  attorneys  for 
both  sides  the  supreme  court  has  al- 
lowed thirty  days  for  the  filing  of 
briefs  in  the  case  of  the  Northern  Cali- 
fornia Development  Company,  which 
seeks  a  writ  of  mandate  to  compel  the 
supervisors  of  Contra  Costa  County  to 
grant  it  a  franchise  for  the  construc- 
tion of  the  Carquinez  Straits  bridge,  or 
else  call  an  election  upon  an  initiative 
petition  filed  some  months  ago.  The 
case  was  to  have  been  argued,  but  the 
attorneys  decided  to  submit  it  on  briefs. 


Suit  to  force  the  San  Mateo  County 
Board  of  Supervisors  to  sign  a  contract 
for  $120,000  worth  of  street  paving  at 
Lomita  Park  has  been  submitted  on 
briefs  to  Judge  George  H.  Buck.  The 
plantiff  is  the  Municipal  Improvement 
Company  of  San  Francisco.  Following 
the  opening  of  bids  and  award  of  the 
contract  to  the  San  Francisco  firm,  the 
board  refused  to  proceed  with  the  pav- 
ing because  of  protests  by  property 
owners  of  the   district. 


Eastern  and  Western  Lumber  Com- 
pany of  Portland,  Ore.,  has  let  a  con- 
tract for  the  construction  of  twenty- 
one  miles  of  standard  gauge  railroad 
to  be  used  in  hauling  logs  from  the 
company  holdings  in  Clackamas  county 
to  the  Portland  mill.  The  company's 
holdings  comprise  1,000,000,000  feet  of 
timber  in  the  southern  section  of 
Clackamas  county,  according  to  F.  H. 
Ransom,    manager   of   the   company. 


A  petition  in  voluntary  oankruptcy 
has  been  filed  by  John  B.  Hamilton, 
member  of  the  firm  of  Hamilton  & 
Costello,  contractors,  in  the  United 
States  District  Court.  Hamilton  filed 
his  petition  both  as  an  individual  and 
as  a  member  of  the  co-partnership  with 
Wesley  F,  Costello.  Llabililtiea  are 
$19,760,  with  assets  of  $1744, 


John  Lyle  Harrington,  Kansas  City 
engineer,  has  been  granted  a  new 
franchise  by  the  San  Mateo  County  Su- 
pervisors to  construct  a  toll  bridge 
across  the  lower  end  of  San  FrJincisco 
bay  at  Dumbarton  Strait.  The  previous 
franchise  granted  to  Harrington  on 
March  22,  1923,  expired.  The  new  fran-

T.  K.  Nickerson,  representing  the 
Faciflc  Building  Materials  Company, 
I5ast  Second  and  Main  Sts.,  Portland, 
Ore  was  a  recent  visitor  to  the  San 
Francisco  Builders'  Exchange.  Nicker- 
son, many  years  ago,  was  connected 
with  the  Western  Building  Materials 
Company  of  San  Francisco.  His  visit 
to  California  is  to  secure  ideas  on  the 
latest  installations  in  ready  mixed 
mortar  plants.  Nickerson  plans  early 
construction  of  such  a  plant  in  the

R  B.  Martin,  aged  56,  for  16  years  a 
member  of  the  firm  of  J.  F.  Hall-Martin 
Company,  died  suddenly  at  his  home  in 
Los  Angeles.  Nov.  19,  following  a 
stroke  of  paralysis.  Prior  to  entering 
the  contracting  business  Martin  was 
city  engineer  of  Alhambra  and  was  also 
engaged  in  private  engineering  work 
on  several  projects,  including  the 
Pacific  Electric  line  to  Monrovia. 

The  board  of  public  works  of  Los 
Angeles  has  asked  the  city  council  for 
authority  to  employ  at  once  architects 
to  prepare  plans  for  the  proposed  $5,- 
000,000  city  hall  instead  of  holding  a 
competition  as  originally  contemplated. 
The  Council  has  referred  the  request 
to   the  civic  center  committee 

The  Dumbarton  Bridge  Company, 
capitalized  at  $2,500,000,  with  the  prin- 
cipal place  of  business  as  San  Fran-

are:  H.  R.  White,  H.  J.  Finn,  A.  B. 
Dunne  and  R.  C.  Foerster. 


Geo.  J.  Calder,  who  was  resident  en-

The    National    Association      of      Oxy- 
■"hiorlde    Cement    Manufacturers,     lor- 
.  riy  the  National  Association  of  Com- 
.  .isition    Flooring      Manufacturers,    has 
undertaken    a    country-v.-ide    campaign 
for    Increased    membership.      The    cam- 
paign  Is  under  the  direction  of  the  di- 
nctors  of  the  Association,  Messrs.  Wm. 
I'.aumbach,    President    of    the    Associa- 
■  n,     American     Monolith     Co.;     H.     S.

A  illiams-Wendt      Co.;      G.    W.      Selby, 
Marine  Decking  &  Supply  Co. 

The  campaign  for  increased  member- 
ship  is   based   upon   a  definite   program 
f    activity    that    has    been    adopted    by 
le   Association,  some  phases   of  which 
:e   already   in    effect.        The      program 
jjrovides   for  work   along  such   lines  as 
the  development  of  standards  of  prac- 
tice, arbitration  and  adjustment  of  dif- 
ferences   within    the    industry,    an    ag- 
-nssive      widening      of    markets      and 
ientific   research. 

Important  work  has  already  been 
■ne  in  the  development  of  -standards 
I  manufacture  and  installation  for 
.y-chloride  flooring  and  stucco,  the 
iwo  chief  products  of  oxy-chloride 
manufacturers. 

Much  of  the  work  toward  the  de- 
velopment of  standards  of  quality  has 
been  carried  on  in  co-operation  with 
the  Bureau  of  Standards  in  Washing- 
Ion.  An  increase  in  the  number  both 
of  regular  and  associate  members  is 
being  sought,  and  with  initial  success, 
according  to  a  statement  by  the  Asso- 
ciation. Initiation  fees  have  been  sus- 
pended for  a  short  period  in  order  to 
stimulate   the   increase   at  this   time. 

Pointing  out  to  the  building  and 
construction  industries  that  the  Asso- 
ciation has  been  in  existence,  although 
on  a  less  active  scale  for  eight  years 
and  has  done  much  quietly  effective 
work  for  its  members  and  the  trade 
served  by  them,  the  officers  of  the  As- 
sociation in  a  statement  issued  widely 
throughout  the  country  referred  to  the 
enlarged  program  of  activities  being 
entered  into:  "It  is  a  sensible  con- 
structive program.  There  are  no  fads 
in  it.  Carried  out,  it  will  provide  pro- 
tection and  chance  of  development  no 
single  company  can  provide.  The 
sound  ideas  of  many  members  are 
woven  into  it.  Precedent  in  other  in- 
dustries shows  its  accomplishment  is 
practical." 

The  organization  has  established  ex- 
ecutive headquarters  at  1328  Broadway, 
New  York  City,  in  charge  of  a  salari-^d

Uniform    Building   Code   Topic 

at    Building    Officials    Conference 

By  M.  C.  *Waodrua,  Builiiinu  InKiiector,  Snn  Jose 


The  third  annual  meeting  of  the 
Pacific  Coast  Building  Officials  Con- 
ference opened  for  a  three-day  session 
in  the  Hotel  Oakland,  at  10:30  A.  M., 
November  20,  with  an  attendance  of 
thirteen  officials  or  about  three  times 
the  number  since  organization  in  San 
Francisco  two  years  ago. 

The  first  afternoon  session  of  the 
conference  was  attended  not  only  by  a 
score  of  building  inspectors,  but  by 
many  interested  in  better  construction. 
This  session  proved  of  considerable  in- 
terest due  to  discussions  and  papers 
read  from  men  associated  with  the  con- 
struction industry  in  every  section  of 
the  Pacific  Coast,  notably  from  San 
Francisco,  Oakland,  Los  Angeles,  Port- 
land, Seattle  and  Phoenix.  Ariz.  Port- 
land, Ore.,  was  represented  by  a  paper 
from  H.  E.  Plummer,  chief  building  in- 
spector  of   that   city. 

J.  J.  Backus,  chief  building  inspector 
of  Los  Angeles  and  A.  C.  Horner,  build- 
ing inspector  at  Stockton,  were  among 
the  principal  speakers  at  the  afternoon 
session. 

The  sessions  of  Nov.  21  far  exceeded 
the  dreams  of  those  who  attended  the 
organization  meeting  of  the  conference 
two   years   ago. 

A  uniform  building  code  was  dis- 
cussed at  these  sessions. 

H.  D.  Jones,  chairman  ot  the  Legis- 
lative Committee  of  the  Alameda  Coun- 
ty Builders'  Exchange,  opened  the 
morning  session  in  outlining  the  efforts 
of  the  seven  East  Bay  cities  toward 
such  a  code  for  that  district.  The  need 
of   such    was    perhaps      most      forcibly 


shown  by  the  fact  that  the  Installation 
of  five  plumbing  fixtures  in  a  residence 
in  Emeryville  would  cost  $275  while  in 
Piedmont  the  same  fixtures  would  cost 
$345  to  install  and  this  because  of  the 
different  requirements  of  installation. 
It  is  hoped  this  will  be  the  entering 
wedge  which  will  develop  into  a  uni- 
form  code   for   the   Pacific  Coast. 

A.  C.  Horner  of  Stockton  read  a 
paper  on  Retroactive  Legislation  in 
Building  Codes,  pointing  out  that  all 
such  legislation  should  be  of  a  nature 
that  would  benefit  the  communitj  with- 
out bringing  a  hardship  upon  the 
owner  and  involving  a  financial  outlay 
that  would  not  be  justified. 

This  was  enlarged  upon  by  L. 
Kraemer  of  the  National  Lumber  Manu- 
facturers' Association,  citing  the 
tendency  of  the  public  to  consider  such 
as  an  ex  post  facto  law.  Mr.  Kraemer 
drew  a  distinct  line  showing  the  dif- 
ference. 

Mr.  Backus  of  Los  Angeles  told  of  a 
recent  change  of  fire  districts  of  that 
city  wherein  certain  streets,  the  con- 
struction is  such  as  to  make  practically 
a  firebreak,  so  that  should  a  disastrous 
conflagration  get  underway  it  would 
be  stopped,  or  at  least  be  greatly  re- 
tarded, when  it  reached  the  "firebreak." 
Terra  cotta  hollow  tile,  metal  lumber 
and  metal  lath,  California  pine,  com- 
mon brick  and  even  mortar  all  came 
in  for  a  share  of  their  places  in  the  dis- 
cussions. 

Considerable  credit  for  the  success  of 
the  conference  is  due  to  the  Builders' 
Exchange  of  Alameda  County  and  the 
Oakland  Chamber  of  Commerce. 


OAKLAND    SEEKS    TO    LICENSE    AND 
BOND      PLASTERERS 


An  ordinance  providing  for  the 
licensing  and  bonding  of  all  plastering 
contractors,  and  the  creation  of  the 
office  of  plastering  inspector  has  been 
submitted  to  Commissioner  Frank  Col- 
bourn  of  Oakland  by  a  joint  committee 
from  the  Master  Plasterers'  Associa- 
tion  and   the   Plasterers'   Union. 

The  committee,  which  consisted  of 
J.  A.  Feeley,  business  agent  of  the 
Plasterers'  Union;  W.  G.  Newman,  G. 
Michaels,  J.  J.  Kirth  and  Ted  Adams 
of  the  Plasterers  Association,  told 
Colbourn  that  the  ordinance  was  de- 
signed to  prevent  the  continuance  of 
poor    plastering    work    in    Oakland.

evening,  January  6th,  1925,  from  8  to 
10  o'clock  P.  M.,  Pacific  Standard  Time. 

This  program  will  be  of  special  In- 
terest to  the  building  and  construction 
industry,  as  well  as  to  those  interested 
in  building.  Musical  numbers  will  be 
on  the  air  at  intervals  during  the  two 
hour  program.  The  program  will  be 
broadcast  from  the  station  on  a  395 
meter  wave  length.  The  program  is  in 
charge  of  Frank  A.  Schilling,  Los  An- 
geles,  general  contractor.

A  newspaper  recently  bore  this  head- 
line: "Thieves  Crack  Contractor's 
Safe  and  Find  Only  Toole."  Sometimes 
it's  a  pretty  good  plan  to  keep  the 
tools  in  the  safe  and  let  the  other  fel- 
low  have  the  job.

Standardization   Work  Growing  Abroad 


Important  industrial  developments 
in  all  the  industrial  countries  of  the 
world  are  being  brought  about  through 
standardization,  according  to  a  state- 
ment of  the  American  Engineering 
Standards  Committee.  In  no  less  than 
eighteen  countries  this  important 
movement  heads  up  in  national  stand- 
ardizing bodies.  . 

A  saving  of  $18,000  on  each  of  57 
locomotives  recently  ordered  by  the 
Swiss  National  Railways  is  the  result 
of  applied  industrial  standardization 
in  Switzerland,  according  to  word  from 
that  country.  This  rather  startling  re- 
duction in  price  is  explained  as  bemg 
due  to  mass  production,  which  in  turn, 
is  completely  dependent  on  mechanical 
standardization  and  will  make  possible 
th^  complete  electrification  of  the 
system. 

The  organization  of  a  national  stand- 
ardizing body  in  Norway,  which  has 
been  in  progress  for  two  or  three 
years,  has  now  been  completed.  In  it 
the  Initiative  was  taken  by  the  na- 
tional manufacturers  Association.  The 
new  organization  is  supported  by  the 
government  departments,  and  techni- 
cal,  industrial  and  trade  associations. 

The  new  Committee's  undertakings 
include  standard  sizes,  standard  screw 
threads,  preferred  diameters  for 
cylindrical  work,  a  standard  gaging  or 
limit  system  for  interchangeable  man- 
ufacture in  mass  production,  and 
standard  sizes  and  forms  for  techni- 
cal drawings.  Special  reviewing  or 
correlating  committees  for  standardi- 
zation work  have  been  established  in 
in  the  fields  of  shipbuilding,  archi- 
tecture and  the  building  trades,  fittings 
and  mechanical  power  transmission. 
To  facilitate  this  work,  the  various 
trade  associations  in  Norway  are  being 
encouraged  to  collect  material  and  set 
up  draft  standards  under  the  auspices 
of   the   main   committee. 

"A  united  Poland"  in  the  technical 
field  is  the  result  of  the  newly  estab- 
lished technical  committee  for  the 
standardization  of  industrial  products 
and  supplies.  Heretofore  the  Polish 
military  services  have  tended  to  fol- 
low French  standards,  while  in  private 
industry,  the  preference  has  been  for 
German  work.  The  new  organization 
is  made  up  of  experts  in  the  fields  of 
mines,  foundries,  military  science,  rail- 
roads, public  work,  postal  and  tele- 
graph services,  agriculture,  trade,  and 
weights  and  measures.  It  is  organized 
under  the  department  of  commerce  and 
industry  of  the  national  government. 
Only  two  other  of  the  eighteen  national 
standardizing  bodies  are  organized  un- 
der government  auspices.  These  are 
the  French   and   the   Japanese. 

More  than  50,000  copies  of  printed 
standards  developed  under  the  Dutch 
Standards  Committee  during  the  past 
year  were  sold  in  Holland,  according 
to  their  report.  The  Committee  which 
has  been  among  the  most  progressive 
for  a  number  of  years,  issued  sixty- 
two  standards  in  final  form  and  fifty- 
six  draft  standards  for  criticism  and 
review.  New  committees  have  recently 
been  organized  on  specifications  for 
paper,  for  the  standardization  of  elec- 
trical house-wiring  materials  and  for 
general  standardization  in  the  fields  of 
"weak  current"  electrical  engineering 
— that  is,  telephone,  telegraplv  and 
signal  service. 

Japan,  which  is  rather  new  in  stand- 
ardization, began  Its  work  by  compre- 
hensive study  of  development  of  stand- 
ardization in  other  countries,  a  process 


which  is  much  facilitated  of  late  by 
the  regular  exchange  of  standardiza- 
tion data — both  drafts  and  completed 
standards — between  the  eighteen  na- 
tional standardizing  bodies  now  at 
work.  Unfortunately,  the  office  and 
all  the  records  of  the  Japanese  Stand- 
ards Committee  were  destroyed  at  the 
time  of  the  great  earthquake.  Never- 
theless, it  has  been  re-established  and 
is  now   going   forward  actively. 

As  one  of  their  first  larger  pieces  of 
work,  the  Japanese  have  adopted  a 
series  of  preferred  numbers  or  stand- 
ard dimensions  employed  in  the  build- 
ing of  machines  and  structures,  and 
so  reduce  to  a  minimum  the  elements 
needed  in  the  manufacture  and  hand- 
ling of  things  such  as  drills,  gages, 
templates,  wrenches,  and  other  com- 
mon tools. 

The  Japanese  have  altogether  forty- 
seven  projects  under  way  and  ar«  well 
advanced  in  work  on  mechanical  and 
electrical  machinery  and  equipment,  as 
well  as  the  very  important  funda- 
mental standards  of  rolled  steel  sec- 
tions used  in  civil  engineering  and  the 
building  trades. 

Italy  which  is  also  comparatively 
new  in  the  work,  has  thirty-nine  active 
projects  under  way.  Particularly 
important  are  those  for  standardiza- 
tion of  screw  threads,  bolts  and  nuts, 
pipes  and  tubes,  and  steel  sections  for 
shipbuilding. 

So  important  is  the  international  ex- 
change of  information  in  this  field  that 
ten  of  the  national  bodies  publish 
regular  journals  concerning  their  work 
—both  drafts  of  new  standards  and 
announcements  concerning  standards 
approved  or  in  contemplation.  These 
countries  are  Germany,  Austria-Hun- 
gary Italy,  France,  Sweden,  Holland, 
Switierland,  Czechoslovakia  and  Nor- 
way The  American  Engineering 
Standards  Committee  receives  and  di- 
gests all  of  these  for  the  information 
of  its  members  and  affiliated  trade  and 
technical  organizations. 

In  order  to  facilitate  the  under- 
standing of  standardization  work  in 
foreign  countries,  the  Germans  have 
proposed  setting  up  a  central  co-opera- 
tive translation  bureau  for  standard- 
ization work.  Many  firms  m  Germany 
are  interested  in  foreign  standards, 
and  the  proposal  is  that  each  of  a  num- 
ber of  such  firms  shall  be  responsible 
for  the  translation  of  a  certain  set  of 
standards  into  German  and  supply 
enough  copies  of  the  translation  for 
distribution  among  other  interested 
organizations.  In  this  way  «^.^^  ,"' 
these  wide-awake  firms  will  finally 
have  a  complete  set  of  translations  of 
those  foreign  standards  which  are 
significant  in  its  field. 

The  Germans  have  made  another  in- 
teresting proposal— that  a  code  word 
be  "^et  up  for  every  standardized 
article,  permitting  such  items  to  be 
ordered  by  telephone  or  telegraph 
with  a  maximum  of  accuracy  and  a 
minimum  of  effort  and  expense.  Such 
code  words  would  also  be  of  impor- 
tance in  advertising  standardized 
articles  to  the  consuming  public,  much 
as  during  the  war,  the  highly  spec'aJ- 
ized  standardized  articles  of  military 
equipment  became  known  under  ab- 
breviated names. 

Czechoslovakia,  like  Japan  and 
Germany,  pays  particular  attention  to 
work  going  on  in  foreign  countries, 
and  strives  toward  putting  standardi- 
zation work   on   an  international  basis. 


Although        Czechoslovakia  started 

standardization  on  a  large  scale  but  a 
little  over  a  year  ago.  it  now  has  no 
less  than  fifty-four  committees  and  sub- 
committees with  six  hundred  mem- 
bers, preparing  standards  dealing  with  _ 
mechanical  engineering  subjects  alone. 
This  will  have  an  important  influence 
on  the  already  phenomenal  develop- 
ment of  the  Czechoslovakian  industries 
and  their  rapidly  increasing  export 
trade. 

Interesting  instances  of  the  huge 
savings  that  can  be  made  by  judicious 
standardization  are  recounted  by  the 
director  of  the  Czechoslovakian  work 
in  paper  before  the  first  international 
management  congress,  held  in  Prague 
this  year.  He  reports  the  use  of  forty 
different  types  of  small  rails  varying 
from  1%  to  3',i  inches  in  height.  Like- 
wise, during  nine  years  a  single  firm 
manufacturing  cars  tor  mine  railways 
and  industrial  trackage,  reports  having 
filled  orders  for  cars  involving  76  dif- 
ferent railway  track  gages.  The  same 
firm  has  a  thousand  different  patterns 
tor  wheels   for  such   cars. 

It  is  expected  that  in  the  case  of 
small  rails,  five  or  six  types  will  like- 
ly replace  the  40  now  in  use,  and  that 
five  track  gages,  including  the  interna- 
tional gage  for  street  and  steam  rail- 
ways, will  replace  the  76  cited  in  this 
second  example.  Instead  of  a  thousand 
different  wheel  patterns,  it  is  expected 
that  nine  wheels  of  a  heavy  type  and 
nine  of  a  light  type  will  cover  all  re- 
quirements. Following  this  simplifica- 
tion of  designs  and  stocks,  it  will  be 
possible  to  make  a  successful  begin- 
ning in  the  equally  important  problem 
of  standardizing  axles,  bearings  and 
other  associated  parts. 

The  Secretary  of  the  Czechaslova- 
kian  standardizing  body  makes  an  ir 
teresting  point  that  when  there  is  an 
unnecessary  diversity  in  products,  the 
buyer  has  more  difficulty,  rather  than 
less,  in  choosing  a  suitable  article,  so 
that  the  time  spent  in  making  the  pur-  f 
chase  may  actually  be  worth  more  than 
the  article  itself, — certainly  an  im- 
portant subject  in  the  broad  question 
of  national  economy,  where  the  buyers 
time  must  be  considered  as  an  element  j. 
of  economic  importance  second  only  to  j 
cost  of  manufacture  and  distribution  of 
the  product  sold.  This  unnecessary 
diversity  often  makes  it  impossible  for 
any  sound  mass  production  to  develop, 
to  the  great  loss  of  consumer  and  pro- 
ducer alike. 

The  British  Engineering  Standards 
Association,  the  oldest  and  largest  of 
the  national  standardizing  bodies,  has 
recently  completed  an  unusually  im- 
portant piece  of  work.  This  is  a  tabu- 
lation of  the  dimensions  and  properties  i 
of  standard  rolled  steel  sections  for  ; 
structural   purposes.  i 

It  begins  by  setting  down  methods 
of  calculating  the  strength  of  such 
sections  and  then  presents  the  stand- 
ard dimensions  which  have  been  adopt- 
ed for  the  "sections"  used  in  the  con- 
struction of  buildings  and  ships,  in- 
cluding equal  and  unequal  leg  angles, 
bulb  angles.  bulb  plates,  channels, 
beams,  and  T-bars.  A  complete  set  of 
tables  showing  the  metric  equivalents 
for  the  adopted  standard  dimensions 
is  given  also.  This  report  represents 
the  culmination  of  about  ten  years  of 
work  on  the  part  of  the  British  tech- 
nical committee  charged  with  this  dif- 
ficult task.  While  such  fundamental 
standardization      work      is    necessarily

very  slow,  Ita  economic  value  1b  ex- 
ceedingly great. 

The  British,  in  this  important  report, 
have  adopted  a  new  development  which 
has  also  been  discuKScd  In  German 
standardization  work, — namely,  the 
vstablishment  of  a  definite  five-letter 
code  word  for  every  standardized  Item. 

The  Canadian  Engineering  Standards 
Association  naturally  co-operates  very 
closely  with  the  Americans  on  the  one 
hand,  and  with  the  Uritish  on  the  other. 
One  of  the  most  important  of  their 
projects  Is  a  "Canadian  Electrical 
Code,"  work  upon  which  was  recently 
started,  based  largely  upon  the  Ameri- 
can standard  electrical  codes  for  pro- 
tection against  fire  and  casualty  haz- 
ards. 

The  Association  has  recently  brought 
out  an  interim  report  on  the  manufac- 
ture, testing  and  uses  of  gasoline  for 
automotive  purposes.  The  difficulties 
of  the  problem  were  such  that  the 
technical  committee  was  unable  to 
recommend  the  adoption  of  any  par- 
ticular specification  either  for  gasoline 
or  lubricating  oil.  The  data  provided 
in  this  publication,  however,  serve  to 
guide  and  assist  the  motorist  in  his 
purchase  of  gasoline  and  lubricating 
oil,  as  well  as  in  the  use  of  these  ma- 
terials. The  data  whicli  it  includes  are 
of  the  greatest  importance  to  all  con- 
cerned in  the  technical  problems  of  the 
production  and  use  of  gasoline  and 
oil.  The  report  includes  important 
suggestionB  for  obtaining  maximum 
fuel  economy  in  automobile  engines. 
Hints  are  also  given  as  to  the  proper 
selection  and  use  of  lubricating  oil  and 
the  minimizing  of  the  pollution  of 
crank  case  oil  by  unburned  gasoline 
leaking  past  the  pistons  and  by  con- 
densation of  moisture  within  the  en- 
gine and  in  the  crank  case. 


HOLLOW   TILE  W.\LLS    GIVEN'    FIRE 
TEST 


Hollow  building  tile  having  double 
shells  on  the  two  exposed  sides  give 
very  good  results  from  the  point  of 
view  of  fire  protection,  the  Bureau  of 
Standards  finds.  The  exposed  shell 
serves  as  a  protection  for  the  rest  of 
the  tile,  and  in  order  to  distribute  the 
stresses  properly,  the  webs  connecting 
this  outer  shell  with  the  inner  wall  of 
the  tile  should  be  thinner  or  less  In 
number  than  the  webs  back  of  the  in- 
ner walL 

Gypsum  and  Portland  cement  plaster 
coatings  over  hollow  tile  will  stay  in 
place  during  ordinary  fire  exposure  and 
will  give  about  the  same  protection 
from  fire  as  the  addition  of  one  wall 
and  cell  to  the  thickness  of  the   tile. 

The  addition  of  a  combustible  filler, 
such  as  sawdust,  to  the  clay  In  amounts 
from  5  to  15  per  cent  by  volume,  de- 
creases the  cracking  of  the  burnt  tile 
when  exposed  to  fire,  but  has  the  dis- 
advantage of  producing  a  decrease  in 
strength  for  the  larger  amounts  of 
filler,  thus  lessening  the  ability  of  the 
tile   to  carry  load   under  fire   exposure. 

More  than  100  tests  of  small  tile 
panels  have  been  made,  the  panels 
forming  one  side  of  a  special  furnace. 
Bight  tests  have  been  made  on  walls  11 
by  16  feet,  and  these  are  the  first  of  a 
series  of  50  fire  tests  to  be  conducted 
on  hollow  tile  walls  in  the  near  future. 
Some  of  these  walls  will  be  tested  re- 
strained by  the  heavy  panel  frame  as 
they  would  be  if  supported  by  cross 
walls  during  an  actual  fire.  Others  will 
be  unrestrained,  being  supported  only 
at  the  bottom.  In  some  of  the  tests 
the  walls  will  carry  their  normal 
working  load. 

Other  points  found  to  add  to  the 
quality  of  tile  are  sufficiently  fine 
grinding  of  the  raw  material,  the  even 
burning  of  the  clay  to  normal  hardness 
for  that  particular  clay,  the  provision 
of  sufficiently  heavy  shells  and  webs, 
and  the  use  of  ample  fillets  where  the 
webs  Join   the   shell.

Chairman  of  the  Legislative  Com- 
mittee of  the  Associated  Building  Con- 
tractors of  Illinois,  emphasized  the 
necessity  for  contractors  to  interest 
themselves  through  organization  in 
legislative  affairs  concerning  their 
business,  in  an  address  delivered  before 
the  association  at  its  last  district  con- 
vention held  in  CoUinsville,  September 
25.  Regarding  the  responsibility  of 
those  in  the  industry  to  the  work  of 
organization,  Mr.  Wuellner  had  the 
following  to  say,  "a  building  contrac- 
tor who  refuses  to  subscribe  to  and 
participate  in  the  association's  pro- 
grram  slack.s  his  plain  duty  toward 
citlizenship,  his  position  in  the  in- 
dustry, his  colleagues,  and  lastly  him- 
self. Like  a  man  without  a  country, 
he  is  to  be  pitied  because  he  lacks 
either  the  mentality  to  arrive  at  a 
conviction  or  the  moral  courage  to 
support  his  conviction. 


prominent  architect  of  St.  Louis,  uni- 
versal use  of  quantity  survey  service 
will  not  come  about  until  contractors 
learn  the  necessity  of  charging  for 
estimates  regardless  of  their  success  In 
curing  the  work. 


More  than  2500  apprentices  In  nine 
building  trades  receive  Instruction 
two  nights  a  week  in  New  York  under 
a  definite  agreement  with  the  Board 
of  Education,  employers  and  the 
unions.  Attendance  at  the  schools  Is 
enforced  by  the  unions,  which  allow  a 
year  off  the  apprenticeship  period.  The 
boys  are  guaranteed  jobs  as  second 
year  apprentices  by  the  employers 
upon  completion  of  the  training.  The 
latest  addition  to  the  list  of  trades  be- 
ing taught  is  plastering.  Following  is 
a  list  of  some  of  the  major  trades  in 
which  instruction  is  being  offered  and 
the  enrollment  in  the  various  courses: 
Plasterers,  220;  sheet  metal  workers, 
350;  carpenters,  1548;  cement  workers, 
49;  painters  and  decorators,  124;  elec- 
tric wiring,  332;  bricklayers,  440. 


That  builders  waste  millions  of  dol- 
lars annually  through  failure  to  take 
advantage  of  quantity  survey  bureau 
service  was  made  clear  by  L.  K.  Com- 
stock  in  an  address  recently  before 
the  New  York  Building  Congress. 
"Studies  of  the  cost  of  estimates  plus 
the  selling  effort  expended  on  them 
reveal  the  fact  that  for  every  J1,000,000 
worth  of  building  construction  in  New 
York  City  $30,300  is  spent  by  contrac- 
tors before  actual  consttruction  can 
begin,"  he  said.  "The  practical  solu- 
tion would  be  a  charge  for  estimates 
commensurate  with  the  cost  of  making 
them.  Then  a  reduction  in  the  number 
of  estimates  desired  by  the  owner 
would  naturally  follow." 

In    the    opinion    of    E.    J.    Russell,    a 


Figures  recently  compiled  by  the 
Citizens  Committee  to  Enforce  the 
Landis  Award  in  Chicago  show  that  the 
Illinois  metropolis  has  had  the  most 
phenomenal  buildfng  boom  ever  wit- 
nessed by  any  American  city  in  the 
three  year  period  sinve  November  15, 
1921.  During  this  time  building  per- 
mits amounting  to  $760,000,000  have 
been  issued,  which  amount  equals  the 
total  for  the  nine  year  period  previous 
to  November  15,  1921.  One  of  the  In- 
teresting features  of  the  report  Is  that 
there  has  been  a  constantly  increasing 
number  of  permits  Issued  for  two  fiat 
and  single  dwellings,  indicating  that 
there  Is  a  well  defined  movement  on  in 
Chicago  for  home  ownership. 

During  the  first  six  months  of  1924 
permits  were  issued  in  sixty-eight 
cities  of  the  United  States  having  a 
population  of  100,000  or  over  for  dwell- 
ings to  house  205,193  families.  For  the 
same  period  last  year  permits  were 
issued  for  dwellings  to  house  197,819

the  new  book  of  grading  rules  of  the 
California  White  and  Sugar  Pine  Manu- 
facturers' Association,  is  off  the  press. 
This  book  contains  the  rules  that  be- 
came effective  on  Septeniber  15,  and  is 
being  distributed  to  all  lumber  users 
who  wish  to  be  completely  informed  on 
the  subject  of  lumber  grading.  The 
former  grades  and  sizes  of  lumber  of 
this  association  are  well  within  the 
minimum  standards  that  have  been 
fl-Ked  and  in  accordance  with  which  this 
new  rule  book  was  compiled.  It  was, 
however,  necessary  to  make  numerous 
changes  in  and  additions  to  the  for- 
mer rules  In  order  to  bring  them  more 
closely  in  line  with  the  national  pro- 
gram of  lumber  standardization. 
Among  the  important  changes  and  ad- 
ditions are  the  Inclusion  of  new  terms 
under  which  re-inspections  are  made, 
a  number  of  definitions  of  defects  and 
blemishes  that  were  adapted,  the  in- 
corporation of  American  Lumber 
Standard  sizes  for  dressed  yard  lumber, 
both  standard  and  extra  standard,  the 
placing  of  grades  1  and  2  Clear  under 
factory  lumber  classification,  the  ad- 
dition of  a  new  grade  of  B  Select  and 
Better  to  the  yard  grades,  and  the  ad- 
dition of  rules  for  grading  California 
white  fir,  California  Douglas  fir,  and 
California  incense  cedar.  The  grading 
rules  lor  dimension  lumber  also  were 
made  more  explicit. 


The  Appellate  Division  of  the  New 
York  Supreme  Court  has  ruled  "that 
the  courts  have  no  power  to  compel 
membership  corporations  or  voluntary 
associations  to  accept  an  applicant  as

sult of  a  suit  brought  by  an  applicant 
for  membership  in  the  International

"Choosing  an  Occupation,"  by  Ziegler 
and  Jaquette,  is  a  well  written  text- 
book on  vocational  civics.  If  used  as 
a  public  school  text  book  it  will  help 
many  pupils  to  choose  a  vocation.  The 
chapter  on  the  building  trades  is  un-

zations such  as  the  American  Concrete 
Institute,  the  Portland  Cement  Asso- 
ciation, and  the  Concrete  Products  As- 
sociation finally  have  put  through  the 
program  for  standardization  and  sim- 
plification in  the  concrete  products  in- 
dustry. The  result,  as  soon  as  all  the 
manufacturers  have  adopted  the  pro-

sizes  of  concrete  blocks,  3  sizes  of  load 
bearing  tile,  6  sizes  of  partition  tile, 
and  1  size  of  concrete  brick. 

The  new  sizes  will  go  into  effect  on

again  for  correction  any  sizes  that 
might  have  been  found  to  be  less  de- 
sirable than  some  new  sizes.  The  sizes

Renewed  building  activity  is  inevi- 
table now  that  all  political  uneasiness 
is  at  an  end,  according  to  a  review 
by  the  Indiana  Limestone  Quarryman's 
association. 

"The  anticipated  new  record  for 
building  construction  has  already  been 
made  certain,"  says  the  summary  of 
President  Thomas  J.  Vernia.  "Contracts 
for  the  ten-months'  period  including 
preliminary  figures  for  October  have  a 
valuation  of  approximately  $4,200,000,- 
000,  which  exceeds  any  previous  record. 

"New  York's  unprecedented  volume  of 
building  has  been  nearly  three  times  as 
large  as  the  huge  Chicago  program, 
while  Chicago  has  nearly  doubled  De- 
troit's record.  Los  Angeles  has  been  a 
close  fourth  in  the  10  month  period, 
with  Philadelphia,  Cleveland,  Balti- 
more, Boston,  San  Francisco  and  Mil- 
aukee,  follow  in  about  the  order 
named. 


The  product  of  the  San  Carlos  As- 
bestos Mining  Co.  at  Globe,  Ariz.,  has 
been  contracted  to  the  Asbestos  Limited 
Co.  of  New  York.  The  monthly  output 
is  about  30  tons,  packed  on  mule-back 
six  miles  to  a  road  from  the  mines, 
which  are  in  the  White  mountains,  45. 
miles  from  Springerville.  Two  grades 
are  produced,  including  some  long 
fiber  of  very  high  quality,  selling  up 
to    $425   a   ton. 

Following  a  30-day  shut  down  the 
calcining  plant  of  the  Sierra  Magneslte

PROTECTING   CONCRETE   FLOORS 

Hardening  the  surface,  thereby  In- 
suring it  against  disintegration,  should 
be  a  regular  operation  in  the  construc- 
tion of  every  concrete  floor.  Wooden 
buildings  must  be  painted  every  so 
often  that  their  surfaces  may  be  pro- 
tected from  the  decaying  effects  of  the 
elements.  This  holds  true  with  con- 
crete floors  as  well.  They  are  not 
complete  unless  painted  with  a  pre- 
servative that  enables  them  to  with- 
stand the  wear  and  tear  to  which  they 
are  subjected. 

It  is  a  poor  policy  to  sweep  dollars 
out  of  doors  via  the  disintegrated  con- 
crete floor  route,  when  at  a  slightly 
increased  initial  cost  the  floor  would 
retain  its  original  strength. — Exchange

Permanent

— not  an  expense 

Why  America 
Must  Have  More 
Paved  High^ways 

Almost  every  section  of  the  United  States  is 
confronted  by  a  traffic  problem. 

Month  by  month  this  problem  is  becoming 
more  and  more  serious. 

Hundreds  of  cars  pass  a  given  point  every  hour 
on  many  of  our  state  and  county  roads.  Down- 
town city  streets  are  jammed  with  traffic. 

Think,  too,  how  narrow  many  of  our  roads  are, 
and  how  comparatively  few  paved  highways  there 
are  in  proportion  to  the  steadily  increasing  num- 
ber of  cars. 

If  the  motor  vehicle  is  to  continue  giving  the 
economic  service  of  which  it  is  capable,  we  must 
have  more  Concrete  highways  and  widen  those 
near  large  centers  of  population. 

Every  citizen  should  discuss  highway  needs  of 
his  community  with  his  local  authorities. 

Your  highway  officials  will  do  their  part  if 
given  your  support. 

Why  postpone  meeting  this  pressing  need? 

An  early  start  means  early  relief.

PRESENT    AVAGE     SCALES     AS     COM- 
PARED AVITH  THOSE  OF  1013 

Both  skilled  and  unskilled  workers 
engaged  in  the  building  trades  have 
secured  marked  wage  increases  in  tho 
past  twelve  months,  says  a  recent  i^sue 
of  the  Journal  of  Commerce  (N.Y.).  The 
United  States  department  of  labor 
gathered  data  on  the  prevailing  union 
wage  scales  of  skilled  workers  in  forty 
representative  cities  throughout  the 
country.  An  average  of  the  rates  pro- 
vailing  in  these  cities  compared  with 
the  average  for  1913  and  1923  shows 
the  following:  Plasterers'  wages  now- 
average  117  per  cent  above  1913,  com- 
pared with  92  per  cent  a  year  ago. 
Carpenters"  wages  now  average  110  per 
cent  above  1913,  compared  with  96  per 
cent  a  year  ago.  Bricklayers'  wages 
average  103  per  cent  above  1913,  com- 
pared with  87  per  cent  a  year  ago. 
Thus  among  the  skilled  trades  the 
plasterers  have  made  the  greatest  per- 
centage advance  over  1913  and  also 
the  greatest  compared  with  a  year 
ago.  The  department  of  labor  also 
received  information  dealing  with  the 
wages  of  building  laborers  in  fourteen 
representative  cities.  Since  1913  labor- 
ers have  secured  wage  increases 
amounting  to  134  per  cent,  but  since 
last  year  their  wage  gains  equal  3  per 
cent.  We  are  dangerously  near,  if  we 
have  not  already  passed  the  point 
where  building  tradesmen's  wages 
cannot  go  without  seriously  affecting 
the  construction  industry.  This  fact 
is  being  brought  forcibly  to  the  atten- 
tion of  all  engaged  in  the  building  in- 
dustry and  to  potential  builders. — Di-

'W^^TER

GIVEX  BOOST 


IDEiX     IS 


The  campaign  for  more  building  and 
repair  work  during  the  winter  months, 
aimed  at  reducing  unemployment  and 
giving  the  public  greater  returns  lor 
the  money  it  spends  on  construction,  is 
finding  much  of  its  most  energetic  sup- 
port from  manufacturers  and  distribu- 
tors of  building  materials,  according 
to  the  Division  of  Building  and  Hous- 
ing of  the  Department  of  Commerce. 
Many  of  the  most  prominent  concerns 
in  the  country,  as  well  as  organizations 
doing  a  smaller  business  and  retailers, 
have  called  attention  in  various  ways 
to  the    advantages  of  winter  building. 

The  usual  let  down  in  construction 
during  the  winter  has  in  the  past  cut 
down  retail  sales,  and  consumption  ol 
practically  all  building  materials,  to 
a  fraction  of  summer  business.  The 
uneven  demand  extends  back  to  the 
raw  products  from  which  materials  are 
made,  and  results  in  irregular  employ- 
ment and  decrease  in  purchasing  power 
on  the  part  of  a  large  section  of  the 
community.  The  seasonal  fluctuations 
in  railroad  traffic  are  increased,  and 
there  is  a  generally  upsetting  influence 
on  business  and  employment.  The 
vigorous  campaign  for  a  more  even 
building  year  is  therefore  being  sup- 
ported by  manufacturers  who  are  not 
only  contributing  to  public  education 
on  the  subject,  but  are  working  on  the 
technical  problems  which  concern 
builders  in  making  winter  work  easy 
and  economical. 

The  basic  idea  in  the  campaign  is 
that  all  persons  planning  new  con- 
struction or  the  employment  ol  build- 
ing trades  workers  lor  repairs  or 
other  purposes  should  take  into  ac- 
count probable  employment  conditions 
in  determining  when  to  start  the  work. 
In  this  way  the  unemployment  of 
building  trades  workers  and  ol  build- 
ing material  producing  organizations 
during  several  months  of  the  year  is 
being  reduced  and  the  public  is  profit- 
ing.

SVN       FRANCISCO       BUILDING       FOR 
NOVEMBER     TOTALS     $6,358,730 


Construction  activities  in  San  Fran- 
«  isco  for  the  month  of  November,  1924, 
totaled  $6,358,729,  according  to  figures 
<  nmpiled  by  Louis  J.  Bailey,  acting 
(hief  building  inspector  of  the  depart- 
ment of  public  works.  During  the 
month  707  permits  were  granted.  Of 
these  318  were  for  alterations,  repairs 
and  additions  to  standing  structures, 
the  total  expenditure  for  these  im- 
provements being  placed  at  $3,215,441. 
The  balance  of  the  operations  covered 
new  construction. 

The  total  of  the  past  month,  accord- 
ing the  value,  exceeds  the  total  for  the 
month  of  October,  this  year,  and  the 
month  of  November  in  1923.  In  Oc- 
tober, this  year,  818  permits  were 
issued  tor  improvements  costing  ?6,- 
116.313  and  for  the  month  of  November, 
1923,  786  permits  with  a  total  value  of. 
$3,850,265. 

The  following  is  a  segregated  list  of 
the  operations  for  November,  1924,  as 
compiled  from  records  of  the  depart- 
ment  of   public    works:

Submit  Recommendations  at  Conference 


Total 


707  $6,358,729 


Standard  rules  gioveifing  the  con- 
duct of  travelers  on  the  highway;  uni- 
form speed  regulation  aimed  primarily 
at  reckless  driving;  and  examination 
and  licensing  of  all  motor  vehicle  op- 
erators, with  a  ban  on  the  mentally  or 
physicall.v  unfit  as  well  as  persons  un- 
der 16  years  of  age  or  who  cannot  read 
English,  are  among  the  outstanding 
recommendations  made  by  the  Commit- 
tee on  Traffic  Cdntrol  of  the  National 
Conference  on  Street  and  Highway 
Safety  to  Secretary  Hoover,  which  will 
be  presented  at  sessions  of  the  Con- 
ference in  Washington  on  December 
15,   16  and  17. 

"Traffic  control  and  traffic  law  en- 
forcement have  been  added  to  the  dut- 
ies of  police  forces  that  in  some  cases 
are  little  if  any  larger  than  before  the 
advent  of  the  motor  car,  and  the  traf- 
fic has  outgrown  the  organization  to 
control  it,"  says  the  Committee.  "Uni- 
form, impartial- enforcement  of  reason- 
able requirements  by  adequate  and 
properly  organized  police  is  a  primary 
necessity  in  reducing  street  and  high- 
way accidents.  The  mere  addition  of 
numbers  of  traffic  officers  untrained  In 
the  special  problems  will  not  insure  the 
desired  results." 

"The  most  abundant  provision  of 
streets  and  highways,  the  most  care- 
ful working  out  of  traffic  regulations 
and  the  most  vigorous  enforcement  of 
traffic  laws,  to  be  100  per  cent  effec- 
tive in  the  reduction  of  accidents,  must 
be  supplemented  by  a  sense  of  per- 
sonal responsibility  instilled  in  every 
motorist  and  every  pedestrian." 

Other  important  recommendations 
include: 

That  speed  regulations  should  be  di- 
rected primarily  at  reckless  driving 
and  should  be  uniform  throughout  the 
country.  That  communities  should  be 
empowered  to  fix  speed  limit  zones, 
hut  should  be  required  to  mark  the 
boundaries  of  such  zones  plainly;  and 
should  be  prohibited  from  establishing 
a  speed  limit  lower  than  15  miles  per 
hour.  Speed  in  an  excess  of  35  miles 
per  hour  in  rural  areas  should  be  con- 
sidered prima  facie,  reckless,  and  the 
burden  of  proof  of  its  reasonableness 
should   rest   upon    the  operator. 

That  overtaking  moving  vehicles  on 
sharp  curves,  approaching  hillcrests,  at 
intersections  or  at  railroad  crossings 
should  be  prohibited. 

That  parking  should  not  be  permit- 
ted wliere  it  will  endanger  or  seriously 
impede  moving  traffic  or  prevent  rea- 
sonable access  to  the  sidewalk  for 
loading  or  unloading  of  vehicles.  This 
will  prohibit  the  parking  or  stopping 
of  cars  on  any  part  of  the  traveled  por- 
tion of  a  rural  highway. 

That  a  single  cautionary  signal  made 
by  extending  the  arm  well  outside  the 
vehicle  is  recommended  as  preferable 
to  a  more  complex  code. 

That  vehicle  should  not  be  permitted 
to  exceed  a  speed  of  15  miles  per  hour 
when  approaching  within  100  feet  of  a 
railroad    crossing. 

That  in  cities  pedestrians  should  be 
required  to  keep  within  the  boundaries 
of  designated  safety  zones  and  cross- 
ing places.  That  motorists  should  be 
required  to  accord  pedestrians  safe  and 
dignified  use  of  such  safety  zones  and 
crossing  places. 

That  reckless  driving  and  other  flag- 
rant disregard  of  the  rights  of  others 
by  any  user  of  the  streets  or  highways 
should   be   vigorously   and   unceasingly 


prosecuted.  Legislation  should  provide 
adequate  penalties,  including  manda- 
tory revocation  of  licenses  for  cumula- 
tive evidence  of  carelessness  or  Irre- 
sponsibility, for  operating  a  motor  ve- 
hicle while  under  the  influence  of  In- 
toxicating liquors  or  drugs  •••  and  se- 
vere penalties  for  driving  after  revoca- 
tion. There  should  be  a  sufficient  num- 
ber of  organized  traffic  officers  to  de- 
tent and  prosecute  such   infractions. 

All  persons  operating  a  motor  vehicle 
should  be  properly  licensed.  Such  li- 
censes should  be  Issued  by  a  state  de- 
partment or  division  having  entire  ad- 
ministratibn  of  the  motor  vehicle  law 
as  its  exclusive  duty;  with  full  author- 
ity to  refuse  a  license,  to  suspend  or 
revoke  a  license  already  issued  for  any 
reason  deemed  sufficient.  Before  grant- 
ing such  license  the  applicant's  abil- 
ity to  operate  a  motor  vehicle  safely 
should  be  determined  by  ascertaining 
his  physical  and  mental  fitness,  knowl- 
edge of  the  law,  and  by  requiring  an 
actual  demonstration.  Persons  under  16 
years  of  age  or  who  cannot  read  Eng- 
lish should  not  be  permitted  to  operate 
a  motor  vehicle. 

Lack  of  uniformity,  the  Committee 
points  out,  leads  almost  every  motor- 
ist to  violate  some  traffic  law  or  regu- 
lation occasionally.  An  "unwholesome 
contempt  for  the  law  and  Inclination 
to  substitute  individual  judgment  for 
the  prescribed  rules,"  the  Committee 
says,  has  resulted  from  the  fact  that 
many  laws  are  unreasonable  and  prac- 
tically unenforceable. 

Deviations  from  uniform  rules 
"should  be  conspicuously  posted  where 
they  are  in  effect"  it  is  declared.  While 
organizations  and  conferences  have 
done  much  toward  standardization,  mi- 
nor differences  have  not  been  harmon- 
ized and  the  actual  adoption  by  states 
and  cities  has  not  progresser  to  the 
desired  extent.  This  object  may  be  ex- 
pedited by  the  Conference,  the  Commit- 
tee declares. 

Discussing  the  advantage  of  main- 
taining a  prevailing  average  of  speed 
for  all  vehicles  on  heavily  traveled 
roads,  the  Committee  declares  that  the 
excessively  slow  vehicle  may  be  as 
serious  a  menace  to  traffic  as  the  speed 
maniac.  However  it  deems  education 
preferable  to  legislation  In  this  re- 
spect. 

There  is  need  of  consideration  of  the 
motorist,  toward  the  pedestrian,  the 
Committee  points  out.  "Certainly,"  It 
says,  "if  motorists  will  display  proper 
consideration  for  pedestrians  crossing 
at  intersectons  wth  the  traffic,  thus 
demonstrating  his  greater  safety  at 
these  points,  this  will  go  far  toward 
encouraging  him  to  promote  his  own 
and  the  general  safety."  But  the  Com- 
mittee points  to  the  fact  that  "the  av- 
erage pedestrian  seems  to  have  little 
regard  for  traffic  regulations  even 
those  intended  to  promote  his  owTi 
safety  and  violates  the  simplest  re- 
quirements. *»•  Since  in  doing  these 
things  he  is  mainly  risking  his  own  life 
the  extent  to  which  he  can  be  compelled 
by  law  to  do  otherwise  is  problematic." 

The  position  of  the  Committee  with 
regard  to  children  is  expressed  thus: 
"Public  streets  are  no  longer  a  safe 
place  for  children  to  pay.  It  Is  obvious, 
therefore  that  public  playgrounds 
should  be  supported  and  multiplied  so 
that  street  play  for  children  may  be 
eliminated."

THE  OBSERVER 

WHAT  HE  HEARS  AND  SEES  ON  HIS  ROUNDS 


The  Railroad  Commission  has  denied 
the  application  of  Los  Angeles  Lumber 
Products  Company  for  the  suspension 
of  reduced  rates  on  lumber  and  lum- 
ber products  from  McCloud  to  con- 
suming points  within  the  state  of  Cali- 
fornia. These  reductions,  ranging 
from  2  to  3%  cents  per  100  pounds,  are 
scheduled  to  become  effective  through 
publication  by  Southern  Pacific  Com- 
pany and  Pacific  Freight  Tariff  Bureau, 
on  November  30.  Los  Angeles  Lumber 
Products  Company  desired  to  have  these 
reduced  rates  suspended  pending  a  de- 
cision in  the  joint  proceeding  brought 
by  that  company  before  the  Interstate 
Commerce  Commission  and  the  Rail- 
road Commission  of  California,  involv- 
ing a  proposed  revision  of  lumber  rates 
from  northern  producing  points  and 
Los  Angeles  harbor  points  to  points 
throughout  California,  in  order  to 
eliminate  an  alleged  discrimination 
against  Los  Angeles  harbor  lumber  in- 
dustries. 


According  to  advices  from  Merced, 
the  Tosemite-Portland  Cement  Com- 
pany, which  through  failure  to  secure 
the  aierced  irrigation  district's  cement 
award  for  Exchequer  dam,  was  com- 
pelled to  suspend  business,  may  lose 
the  property  on  which  its  plant  is  lo- 
cated. Suit  has  been  filed  in  the  Su- 
perior Court  at  Merced  by  the  Charles 
Nelson  Company,  San  Francisco,  asking 
the  property  be  sold  to  pay  a  bill  for 
$5414.24  for  building  materials  used 
on  construction  of  the  plant  by  the 
Hunt  Engineering  Company  of  Kansas 
City. 


East  Bay  Building  &  Loan  Associa- 
tion has  been  organized  in  Oakland 
with  temporary  headquarters  at  <-21 
Nineteenth  street.  The  capi*aliz.atiou  is 
$200,000.  The  announcement  is  m<ide 
by  A.  W.  Clark  of  the  Clark  &  Ht-nery 
Construction  Company  wl'n  head- 
quarters in  San  Francisco,  secretary  of 
the  association.  Others  interosied  in- 
clude; G.  B.  Hengen,  capitalist;  Chas. 
W.  Heyer,  engineer;  Roscoe  D.  Jones, 
attorney  and  F.  H.  Clark,  corpi>rat  on 
secretary. 


Bids  will  be  considered  by  the  Mul- 
tnomah County  Commissioners,  Port- 
land, Ore.,  on  January  7  to  construct 
the  proposed  Sellwood  bridge,  estimated 
to  cost  $400,000.  The  structure  will 
be  of  the  continuous  truss  span  design, 
the  approaches  to  consist  of  reinforced 
concrete  girder  spans  on  reinforced 
concrete  columns.  The  bridge  proper 
will  be  1090  feet  long  and  30  feet  wide. 


Building  in  Alameda  during  Novem- 
ber totaled  $88,959,  the  lowest  for  the 
entire  year  to  date,  according  to  the 
monthly  report  of  Building  Inspector 
Eugene  Mallot.  Permits  T\^ere  issued 
during  November  for  21  new  buildings 
to  cost  $64,000.  There  were  58  permits 
for  alterations   costing   $24,559. 


Ralph  Wiley,  chief  of  the  Department 
of  Electricity,  estimates  the  cost  of 
illuminating  the  dome  of  the  San 
Francisco  city  hall  at  $10,000.  The 
Board  of  Public  Works  will  shortly  ask 
bids    for   the   electrical    installations. 


Furch  &  Neison,  79  Twelfth  St.,  Oak- 
land, plan  early  construction  of  a  $50,- 
000  plant  in  San  Pablo  avenue  near 
University  avenue,  Oakland,  for  the 
manufacture  of  paint  and  varnish. 


Tendency  of  construction  costs  to 
move  upward,  reflecting  growing  de- 
mand for  materials,  gain  in  contracts 
let  and  increasing  price  firmness,  is 
reported  by  Engineering  News-Record 
(NeTv  York).  A  1  per  cent  gain  in  costs 
over  those  of  early  November  will  be 
reached  by  December  4,  present  indica- 
tions show.  E.xpansion  in  demand  is 
noticed,  particularly  in  concreting 
materials,  lime,  linseed  oil  and  clay 
products.  Demand  for  brick  dropped 
12  per  cent  in  the  last  30  days  and 
lumber  requirements  dropped  slip,litly. 
Except  for  these  staples,  a  general  up- 
ward movement  in  materials  demand 
is  noted.  Comparison  of  totals  of  con- 
tracts let  in  September  and  Octo!)er  of 
this  year  with  those  let  in  the  same 
two  months  in  1923  shows  a  1924  gain 
of  17  per  cent.  Contract  values  for 
the  seven  weeks  from  October  2  to 
November  13,  inclusive,  show  a.  gain  of 
15  per  cent  over  the  same  period  of 
last   year. 


Figured  at  $4  a  thousand  board  feet. 
the  total  loss  of  private  timber  owners 
from  forest  fires  this  year  aggregates 
approximately  $24,000,  is  the  announce- 
ment of  Jack  Kimball  of  the  Klamath 
Forest  Protective  Association  at  Kla- 
math Falls,  Ore.  A  report  submitted 
by  Duncan  McLeah,  connected  with  the 
protective  association,  estimates  the 
loss  of  yellow  pine  at  4,959,540  board 
feet.  The  acreage  burned  over  during 
the  forest  fire  season  aggregated  18,- 
405  acres.  One  hundred  and  sixty-six 
fires  were  fought  by  the  forces  of  the 
protective  association. 


The  Greater  Los  Angeles  Corpora- 
tion, an  organization  which  proposes  to 
finance  industrial  corporations  in  Los 
Angeles,  has  filed  incorporation  papers 
with  Secretary  of  State  Frank  C.  Jor- 
dan. TTie  papers  give  the  capital  stock 
as  $5,000,000  and  reserved  the  right  to 
increase  this  amount  to  $50,000,000  in 
the  future.  Outstanding  among  thirty- 
nine  incorporators  were  Frank  P.  Flint, 
Rex  B.  Goodcell  and  Harry  Chandler  of 
Los  Angeles  and  Paul  Shoup  of  San 
Francisco. 


On  account  of  the  necessity  for  in- 
creased production  the  National  Rock 
&  Gravel  Co.  has  been  absorbed  by  the 
National  Rock  Products  Company,  Inc., 
a  new  $150,000  corporation  controlled 
by  the  same  interests  and  having  the 
same  officers  and  directors.  The 
plant,  located  at  Roscoe,  Calif.,  has 
been  enlarged,  new  and  modern  equip-

Trade  union  mombcishii)  decreased 
1.331,500  In  three  years,  according  to  a 
report  recently  completed  by  the  Na- 
tional Bureau  of  Economic  Research. 
In  1920  the  high  water  mark  was 
reached  when  tlve  unlnns  reported  a 
total  member.ship  of  5.110,500.  Within 
three  years  this  had  dropped  to  3,779,- 
"1)0.  In  the  years  before  the  war,  when 
membership  rose  from  about  450,000  to 
J. 750. 000,  the  gains  were  made  by  the 
building  trades,  steam  railroads  and 
l)rinting  industries  unions,  and  by  the 
coming  into  i)ower  of  the  United  Mine 
Workers,  the  report  says,  Nearly  half 
of  the  total  membershp  was  in  the 
transportation  and  building  groups, 
while  the  rest  were  scattered  all  over 
other  industries  and  services.  Largely 
as  a  result  of  the  temporary  effects  of 
industrial  depression  and  partly  the 
effect  of  the  permanent  liquidation  of 
war  industries,  the  period  from  1920  to 
1923   was  one  of  falling  membership.

liUMBER        RATE        REDUCTION        I 
APPROVED  BY  R.  R.  COMMISSION 


British  Columbia  lumber  will  not  be 
favored  with  rates  enabling  it  to  com- 
pete with   the  California  product. 

Over  the  protest  of  the  Los  Angeles 
Lumber  Products  Company,  the  Cali- 
fnrnia  State  Railro;id  Commission 
granted  the  Southern  Pacific  Company 
permission  to  reduce  rates  from  2  to 
31,2    cents  a  hundred   pounds. 

The  Los  Angeles  company,  which  re- 
ceives cargo  from  British  Columbia 
and  other  coast  points,  wished  to  have 
the  rate  on  lumber  coming  south 
equalized  with  that  going  north,  which 
would  allow  Los  Angeles  to  break 
even  on  the  water  charges  on  lumber 
shipped   from   northern   points. 

Unless  the  Interstate  Commerce  Com- 
mission abrogates  the  reduction,  the 
Lns  Angeles  company  will  be  compelled 
to  sell  northern  lumber  at  higher 
prices  than  obtained  in  northern  towns. 

The  reduced  rates  are  effective 
November  30. 


Engineers   Seek   to   Increase 

Capacity   of    Highways   for   Safety 


"Only  a  very  small  percentage  of 
the  street  and  highway  accidents  to- 
day can  be  attributed  directly  to  con- 
struction and  engineering  defects,"  de- 
clares the  Committee  on  Engineering 
and  Construction  of  the  National  Con- 
ference on  Street  and  Highway  Safety 
in  a  report  to  Secretary  of  Commerce 
Hoover. 

Foreseeing  a  vastly  greater  amount 
of  motor  traffic  in  the  future,  the  Com- 
mittee, after  several  months'  of  study, 
has  prepared  recommendations  as  to 
the  most  modern  practices  calculated 
to  increase  the  capacity  of  the  high- 
ways and  at  the  same  time  to  improve 
safety. 

Problems  of  the  grade  crossing,  of 
uniform  signs  and  signals  of  visibility, 
of  grades  and  curves  are  among  the 
more  important  dealt  with  in  the 
recommendations.  But  the  Committee 
emphasises  the  need  of  providing  right- 
of-way  for  parking  spaces,  for  clear 
view  at  intersections,  and  for  future 
widening  "before  the  cost  of  land  be- 
comes  prohibitive." 

"Grade  crossing  elimination  through 
co-operation  of  municipalities,  states 
and  railroads  must  be  the  ultimate 
remedy  for  the  railroad-highway  grade- 
crossing  peril"  the  Committee  declares, 
with  the  continuing  recommendations 
that  "the  creation  of  new  grade  cross- 
ing should  be  avoided  wherever  pos- 
sible" even  to  the  extent  of  re-locating 
highways  to  avoid  such  difRculties;  and 
that  "crossings  remain  at  grade  should 
be  safeguarded  in  every  way." 

Automatic  signals,  crossing  flagmen 
or  gates,  depending  upon  the  volume  of 
railway  and  highway  traffic,  are 
recommended  to  supplement  the  stand- 
ard warning  signs  or  pavement  mark- 
ings, "a  clear  view  along  the  track  in 
both  directions  should  be  maintained," 
and  "sharp  curves,  abrupt  changes  of 
grade  or  other  conditions  at  or  near 
the  tracks  which  tend  to  divert  the 
attention  of  the  motorist  should  be 
avoided." 

Four  of  the  Committee's  recommenda- 
tions deal  with  "cautionary  or  stop 
signs  and  signals  at  danger  points,  di- 
rection and  distance  signs  at  important 
intersections  and  signs  and  signals  to 
indicate  special  trafBc  rules  and  regu- 
lations" which,  the  Committee  says, 
"should  be  provided  as  part  of  the  con- 
struction" and  which  "should  be  simple 
and  unifrom  for  a  given  purpose 
throughout   the   United   States." 

Uniform  color  indications  for  signs 
and  signals  recommended  by  the  Com- 
mittee are:  Red  for  "stop;"  green  for 
"proceed;"  yellow  for  "caution" — as  at 
curves;  purple  or  other  color  as  a 
special  cautionary  indication  at  cross- 
roads; with  white  letters  or  symbols 
on  the  red,  green  or  purple  back- 
grounds, and  black  letters  or  symbols 
on  the  yellow.  "Distance  and  direction 
signs  should  be  black  and  white."  the 
Committee  says. 

Because  parking  or  stopping  on  the 
traveled  portion  of  rural  highways  is  a 


common  source  of  danger,  the  Com- 
mittee recommends  that  "improved 
rural  highways  should  be  provided, 
cither  continu6usly  or  at  intervals  not 
exceeding  300  feet,  with  level  parking 
places  entirely  outside  of  the  traveled 
way." 

"A  clear  view  of  approaching  vehicles 
for  a  least  300  feet  should  be  provided 
at  all  points  on  highways  of  primary 
importance,"  says  the  Committee.  "This 
may  necessitate  removing  trees,  shrubs, 
and  sloping  banks  on  or  off  the  right- 
of-way  at  curves  and  intersections,  and 
cutting  down  sharp  hillsides." 

"Heavy  grades  and  sharp  curves 
should  not  be  combined,"  says  ,a  recom- 
mendation which  would  provide  a 
radius  of  300  feet  or  greater  for  curves 
on  highways  of  primary  importance. 
Widening  and  banking  of  curves,  erec- 
tion of  guard  rails  on  the  shoulders  of 
embankments,  and  elimination  of  one- 
way bridges  are  also  recommended  as 
essential. 

Careful  selection  of  detour  routes 
around  highways  or  streets  under  con- 
struction or  repair  is  recommended, 
with  provision  that  detours  "should  be 
maintained  in  safe  condition  and  clear- 
ly marked."  with  daily  inspection  as 
to  the  condition  and  marking. 

White  center  lines  are  recommended 
for  curves,  hillcrests,  irregular  inter- 
sections and  other  danger  points,  but 
the  Committee  declares  that  such  lines 
should  not  be  used  on  straight  level 
sections  of  highway,  or  between  blocks 
in  cities.  Marking  of  pedestrian  lanes 
on  the  pavement  at  busy  intersections 
is  also  recommended. 

Illumination  of  city  streets  sufficient- 
ly to  make  bright  headlights  unneces- 
sary and  flood  lighting  of  traffic  officers 
is  recommended.  "The  desirability  of 
lighting  rural  thoroughfares  carrying 
heavy  night  trafRc  is  recognized"  con- 
tinues the  report,  "but  it  is  believed 
that  at  the  present  time  this  is  in  most 
cases  not  feasible."  To  aid  night  travel, 
objects  near  the  roadway  should  be 
painted  white,  as  should  be  obstruc- 
tions like  columns  and  curbs  at  the 
centers  of  underpasses. 

"No  carrier  for  hire  should  be 
granted  a  permit  to  operate  on  any 
section  of  highway  unless  the  vehicles 
it  contemplates  operating  can  pass  over 
every  section  of  the  highway  without 
encroaching  upon  the  lane  of  traffic  in 
the  opposite  direction,"  says  the  Com- 
mittee's discussion  of  the  "de  luxe"  bus, 
which  has  a  wider  spread  of  rear 
wheels  than  other  models. 

Other  recommendations  deal  with 
problems  of  street  and  highway  widths, 
including  those  where  the  direction  of 
traffic  varies,  and  where  street  cars 
complicate  the  movement  of  traffic.  The 
crossing  and  recrossing  of  street  car 
lines  running  at  the  side  of  rural 
higliways  is  declared  highly  dangerous. 
Recommendations  are  also  included  as 
to  technical  matters,  such  as  grade 
levels,  the  radius  of  curbs,  fixed  signals, 
width  of  bridges,  and  snow  removal, 
standards  of  illumination,  and  the  plac- 
ing of  street  lights. 


WIDEST    STEEL    ROLLING    DOOR 


The  Cornell  Iron  Works,  Inc.,  26th 
St.  and  11th  Ave.,  New  York,  announces 
the  completion  of  the  widest  steel  roll- 
ing   door    ever   made.      The    opening    is 


45  feet  in  width,  17  feet  high  and 
cover  a  railroad  entrance  into  the 
Kirkham  and  Son  Building  in  Brooklyn, 
N.  Y.  The  door  proper  weighs  two 
tons  and  operates  up  and  down  by 
electric    motor    in    thirty    seconds. 


BUILDING      AND      ENGINEERING      NEWS  Saturday,     December     6,     1924 


TURPENTINE-ROSIN    PRODUCTION 


The  Department  of  Commerce  an- 
nounces that,  according  to  the  data  col- 
lected by  the  Bureau  of  the  Census  in 
co-operation  with  the  Bureau  of  Chem- 
istry, Department  of  Agriculture,  the 
establishments  engaged  primarily  in  the 
manufacture  of  turpentine  and  rosin 
from  crude  gum  reported  products 
valued  at  $3.5,166,7in  for  the  crop  year 
ended  March  31,  1924.  This  represents 
an  increase  of  50.9  per  cent  as  com- 
pared with  $23,300,845  for  the  year 
ended  March  31,  1922,  the  last  preceding 
biennial    census    year. 

Of  the  1203  establishments  reporting 
for  1923-1924,  540  were  located  in  Geor- 
gia, 429  in  Florida,  131  in  Alabama,  and 
the  remaining  103  in  Louisiana,  Misssi- 
sippi.  North  Carolina,  South  Carolina, 
and   Texas. 

The  total  production  of  turpentine  by 
all  classes  of  establishments  increased 
from  24,820,620  gallons  during  the  crop 
year  1921-1922  to  29,781,944  gallons 
during  the  crop  year  1923-1924,  the 
rate  of  increase  being  20  per  cent;  and 
the  output  of  rosin  increased  during  the 
same  period  from  1,690,971  barrels  to 
1,990,865  barrels,  the  rate  being  17.7 
per  cent. 

Although  turpentine  and  rosin  are 
produced  principally  from  crude  gum, 
considerable  quantities  are  made  by 
the  distillation  of  wood,  by  both  the 
stean^  and  destructive  processes.  Dur- 
ing the  calendar  year  1923,  2,607,364 
gallons  of  turpentine  and  200,778  bar- 
rels of  rosin  were  produced  by  this 
method.  These  quantities  represent 
increases  of  490.2  per  cent  and  584.2 
per  cent,  respectively,  as  compared  with 
the  calendar  year  1921. 


Extraordinary   Interest  Shown 

in  Foreign  Trade — Report  Discloses 


MJMBER    SHOWS    STRENGTH 


Reports  showing  the  trend  of  the 
lumber  movement  of  the  country  for 
the  week  ending  Nov.  15  received  by 
the  National  Lumber  Manufacturers 
Association  from  358  of  the  larger  com- 
mercial sawmills  of  the  country,  as 
compared  with  revised  reports  from 
359  mills  of  the  preceding  week  indi- 
cate that  while  there  was  a  continued 
decrease  in  production,  there  was  a 
substantial  increase  in  new  business, 
and  a  small  decrease  in  shipments. 
Production  decreased  5,044,539  feet, 
shipments  2,885,104  feet,  while  new 
business   increased   5,737,222   feet. 

The  unfilled  orders  of  244  Southern 
Pine  and  West  Coast  mills  were  561,- 
512,581  feet,  as  against  539,913,612  feet 
for  244  mills  the  week  before.  Sepa- 
rately, the  Southern  Pine  groups,  128 
mills,  reported  unfilled  orders  as  243,- 
631,675  feet  compared  with  234,968,475 
feet  for  the  same  number  of  mills  the 
previous  week  116  West  Coast  mills 
had  unfilled  orders  amounting  to  317,- 
880,906  feet,  as  against  304,945,137  feet 
for  116  mills  a  week  earlier. 

Altogether  the  358  comparably  re- 
porting mills  had  production  of  95 
per  cent  and  shipments  110  per  cent  of 
actual  production.  For  the  Southern 
Pine  mills  these  percentages  were  re- 
spectively 110  and  123;  and  for  the 
West  Coast  mills  77  and  91. 

Of  the  comparably  reporting  mills, 
337  (having  a  normal  production  for 
the  week  of  209,725,472  feet)  reported 
production  98  per  cent  of  normal,  ship- 
ments 89  per  cent,  and  orders  103  per 
cent  thereof. 


In  a  recent  decision  handed  down  by 
the  Wisconsin  Supreme  Court,  the 
minimum  wage  law  of  that  state  has 
been  declared  unconsitutional.  The 
court  cited  the  decision  of  the  United 
States  Supreme  Court  in  holding  that 
the  District  of  Columbia  law  was  un- 
constitutional and  called  attention  to 
the  fact  that  the  two  acts  were  similar. 
It  is  understood  that  the  State  will 
appeal  to  the  United  States  Supreme 
Court. 


(Special  Correspondence) 

The  Department  of  Commerce  has 
made  public  the  annual  report  of  Dr. 
Julius  Klein,  director  of  the  Bureau 
of  Foreign  and  Domestic  Commerce.  In 
a  letter  to  Secretary  Hoover  summar- 
izing the  work  of  the  bureau  for  the 
year  ending  June  30,  1924,  Dr.  Klein 
pointed  out  that  the  w^ork  of  the  Bu- 
reau has  doubled  in  the  last  two  years 
and  during  the  year  just  ended  the 
number  of  instances  in  which  it  has 
aided  American  business  men  have  to- 
taled 1,250,000  with  an  average  of  more 
than  5000  inquries  a  day  at  the  close 
of  the  fiscal  year.  On  the  basis  of  an 
investigation  involving  3675  inquiries 
addressed  by  business  firms  to  the  Bu- 
reau it  was  found  that  the  resulting 
business  amounted  to  about  $427  per 
inquiry.  This  would  indicate  several 
hundred  millions  in  foreign  trade  se- 
cured for  the  United  States  as  the  re- 
sult of  answers  to  inquiries  handled 
by  the  bureau  during  the  year.  In  cer- 
tain respects  the  bureau's  services  to 
the  American  business  community  have 
increased  as  much  as  tenfold  since  1922 

The  vital  value  of  the  bureau  to  all 
Americans  concerned  with  world  trade 
was  signally  illustrated  during  this 
past  year  by  its  informational  and  pro- 
motive efforts  following  the  great 
earthquake  disaster  In  Japan.  Though 
the  office  in  Tokyo  was  destroyed  and 
its  established  routine  shattered,  the 
work  was  immediately  resumed  and 
vigorously    pushed    forward. 

Accurate  estimates  were  given  of  the 
extent  of  the  damage  to  the  economic 
structure  of  Japan.  Americans  relying 
on  raw  materials  from  Japan  were  ad- 
vised of  the  position  and  prospects. 
Markets  for  reconstruction  materials 
were  investigated.  The  purchase  of 
great  quantities  of  supplies  here  was 
furthered. 

Yet  this  was  only  the  most  outstand- 
ing example  of  a  service,  which, 
throughout  the  wo*ld,  has  been  con- 
stantly growing  in  effectiveness.  Prof- 
iting by  their  accumulated  experience 
and  utilizing  even  more  skillfully  all 
the  available  means  of  trade  promotion 
our  offices  abroad  and  our  divisions  at 
Washington  have  made  their  efforts 
show  a  steadily  rnsing  proportion  of 
practical  results.  Those  efforts  have 
been  determined  not  by  mere  theories 
but  by  the  specific  requirements  of 
American  business. 

During  the  past  year  the  most  sig- 
nificant feature  of  our  work  is  to  be 
found  in  this  element  of  intimate  con- 
tact and  cooperate  with  American 
manufacturers,  exporters!  financiar.s, 
and  domestic  merchants.  Now,  more 
than  ever  before,  the  bureau  is  func- 
tioning as  an  integral  part  of  American 
economic  life — an  organization  respon- 
sive to  the  guidance  of  its  clients, 
while  at  the  same  time  initiating  a 
variety  of  services  designed  to 
streng"then  and  augment  the  currents 
of   trade. 

The  increase  in  the  number  of  inqui- 
ries received  from  the  various  indus- 
tries in  this  coimtry  is  held  by  Dr. 
Klein  to  be  ample  demonstration  of  the 
Effectiveness  of  the  bureau,  and  par- 
ticular stress  is  laid  upon  the  export 
trade  services  rendered  by  the  Food- 
Btuffs  Division  to  the  various  branches 
of  agriculture  that  raise  crops  for  ex- 
port. Over  143,000  inquiries  on  foreign 
market  problems  were  received  by  this 
one  division  from  farmers,  co-opera- 
tives and  dealers  in  farm  products  dur- 
ing the  last  fiscal  year,  as  compared 
with  less  than  29,000  requests  for  in- 
tormation  recorded  for  1921-22.  Fol- 
lowing the  Foodstuffs  Division  in  1924 


comes  the  Automotive  Division  with 
106,000  inquiries,  the  Specialties  Divi- 
eion  with  98,000.  and  the  Textile  Divi- 
sion with  81,000.  A  marked  and  highly 
satisfactory  increase  in  the  number  of 
Inquiries  received  from  small  firms  is 
noted. 

The  growing  interest  of  American 
business  men  in  Western  Europe  is 
demonstrated  by  the  receipt  at  the  Bu- 
reau in  1923-24  of  no  less  than  340,000 
Wquiries  relating  to  that  district,  as 
against  only  32,000  during  the  fiscal 
year  1921-22.  Second  only  to  the  inter- 
est in  Western  Europe  is  that  taken  in 
Latin  Americaf,  as  evidenced  by  more 
than  232,000  inquiries,  nearly  all  of 
which  have  to  do  with  practical  and 
immediate  sales  problems.  In  1921-22, 
althlough  interest  in  Latin  America 
was  then  keen  as  compared  to  previous 
years,  the  number  of  inquiries  received 
was  less  than  21,000.  A  rapidly  grow- 
.ng  interest  in  the  Far  East  is  reflect- 
ed by  the  174,000  inquiries  received 
during  the  last  fiscal  year,  as  com- 
pared with   15,000  in   1921-22. 

In  addition  to  the  thousands  of  small 
orders  the  Bureau  obtained  for  Amer- 
ican business  men,  there  were  individ- 
ual efforts  that  brought  results  that 
ran  into  six  figures  or  more.  The  Rome 
office  was  Instrumental  in  obtaining 
for  an  American  concern  a  contract  of 
nearly  three  million  dollars  for  the 
construction  of  harbor  works,  and  on 
another  occasion  helped  to  swing  to 
the  United  States  a  concession  for  min- 
eral exploration  entailing  the  expendi- 
ture of  $5,000,000  within  ten  years.  The 
intercession  of  the  Commercial  Attache 
at  Madrid  resulted  in  a  saving  of  $250,- 
000  to  an  American  concern,  and  the. 
Warsaw  office  adjusted  a  $500,000 
claim  of  an  American  exporter  against 
a  Polish  textile  mill.  A  leather-belting 
company  in  California  says  it  has  re- 
ceived $500,000  worth  of  business  as  a 
result  of  assistance  rendered  by  the 
Bureau.  Several  pages  of  the  Bureau 
report  are  devoted  to  practical  achieve- 
ments of  this  sort. 

A  feature  of  the  year's  work  has 
been  the  completion  of  surveys  into 
conditions  surrounding  the  production 
and  handling  under  the  control  of  for- 
eign monopolies  of  a  number  of  highly 
important  raw  materials,  such  as  rub- 
Ijer,  tanning  materials,  nitrogen,  agri- 
cultural products,  and  sisal,  the  studies 
being  limited  to  such  products  as  must 
I>e  imported  into  this  country  in  large 
quantities. 

Three  new  foreign  offices  "were  opened 
by  the  Bureau,  at  Alexandria,  Batavia 
and  Bogota,  giving  it  a  total  of  32  such 
posts  by  July  1,  1924.  This  number  has 
since    been   raised    to    40. 

For  the  first  time  in  the  history  of 
government  trade  statjstiC'SV  figures 
were  made  available  showing  the  ex- 
port trade  of  the  various  States  in  this 
country.  These  figures  were  warmly 
received  and  will  continue  to  be  issued 
quarterly.  Another  innovation  was  the 
publication  of  figures  on  parcel-post 
(txport.s  from  this  country,  an  item 
heretofore  completely  ignored  in  com- 
piling statistics  of  our  shipments 
abroad  and  especially  significant  for 
the  small  manufacturer  and  exporter. 
Parcel-post  exptorts  were  valued  at 
$11,000,000  for  the  six  months  ended 
June  30.  Further  prograss  is  also  re- 
ported in  speeding  up  the  publication 
of  all   import   and  export   statistics. 

In  connection  with  the  distribution 
of  trade  information,  the  Bureau  tend- 
ed more  and  more  during  the  year 
toward  a  specialized  service  to  bona- 
fide  American  firms  through  the  me- 
dium of  confidential  circulars,  a  policy

The  Increase  In  the  work  performed 
y    the    Bureau    during    the    last   fiscal 

ur,  as  compared  with  the  two  pre- 
'  (ling  years,  has  been  much  greater 
•  latlvely    than    the    increase    in    per-

HOUSING    IS    TOPIC    IN    REPORT    OF 
COMSUiUCt:    CHUOF 


•Elimination  of  national  waste"  Is 
Uie  keynote  of  Secretary  Hoover's  an- 
nual report  recently  made  public  by 
ilio  Ueparlment  of  Commerce.  Under 
iliis  head  Mr.  Hoover  reviews  the  ac- 
i  iimpUshments  of  the  Department  dur- 
iiisf  the  first  three  years  of  the  present 

iininistration.  notably  in   the  fields  of 

iiiinployment,     seasonal     construction, 

:d,  superpower,  standardization,  sim- 
iified  practice,  co-operativce  market- 
iit;,  and  the  reduction  of  housing  costs. 
Prude  association  activities  are  dis- 
missed from  the  same  angle. 

Under  the  head  of  reducing  housing 
costs  Mr.   Hoover   says; 

"The  high  cost  of  housing  construc- 
tion brought  to  the  front  the  necessity 
for  the  elimination  of  waste  in  that 
field  as  a  contribution  to  lowering  costs 
within  the  purchasing  power  of  the 
community,  and  so  maintaining  activity. 
Aside  from  the  "work  of  the  Department 
upon  the  simplification  of  building  ma- 
terials, the  Division  of  Building  and 
Housing  was  established  to  attack 
such  problems  as  the  development  of 
uniform  municipal  building  codes,  the 
investigation  of  losses  and  wastes  in 
financing  home  building,  and  the  study 
of  city   and   town   zoning. 

With  the  co-operation  of  those  di- 
rectly concerned  the  Division  prepared 
a  standard  municipal  building  code  tor 
small  house  construction,  a  recommend- 
ed plumbing  code,  and  a  standard  State 
zoning  enabling  act  which  has  already 
been  adopted  by  13  States.  During  the 
past    year    officials    of    the    Department 

■ined  with  private  endeavor  to  form 
ijetter  Homes  in  America"  as  an  or- 
ganization for  education  and  public 
service,  under  the  presidency  of  Mr. 
Hoover.

Highway  Research 
Type  of  Road 


Board  to  Seek  New 
at  Washington  Meet 


The  Highway  Research  Board  of  the 
National  Research  Council  at  Its  fourth 
annual  meeting  to  bo  held  In  Washlm*- 
ton  Dec.  4th  and  5th,  Is  emphas'-jlng 
the  need  of  a  niw  type  of  road  that 
will  provide  a  good  surface  for  aec- 
ondary  traffic,  yet  low  in  first  cost 
and   maintenance. 

The  secondary  and  local  roa.ls  of 
this  country  have  a  far  greater  mile- 
age than  the  main  traffic  lines,  yet 
relative  to  very  large  mileage  little 
progress  has  been  made  along  the  lines 
of  improving  this  type  of  construc- 
tion. Because  of  the  small  amount  of 
traffic  on  the  local  roads,  surfaces 
such  as  concrete,  asphalt,  and  brick 
are  not  possible  because  of  the  great 
cost  of  building  the  hard  surfaced 
types.  I        I  _^ 

Many  communities  do  not  have  avail- 
able deposits  of  natural  road  building 
materials  and  consequently  the  con- 
struction of  secondary  roads  have  not 
kept  pace  with  the  demand  for  a  ser- 
viceable road  that  will  provide  a  good 
surface  to  traffic  every  day  of  the 
year.  A  large  number  of  states  have 
constructed  these  local  roads  of  brok- 
en stone,  gravel,  or  of  selected  soil 
such  as  sand-clay  or  top-soil.  It  has 
been  definitely  proven  that  when  a 
gravel  or  selected  soil  road  carries 
more  than  500  vehicles  a  day,  this 
type  of  road  surfacing  is  unsatisfac- 
tory. The  surface  becomes  rough  and 
corregated  and  it  requires  much  work 
on  the  part  of  the  maintenance  forces 
to  put  it  in  good  shape. 

Several  State  Highway  Commissions 
have  been  experimenting  with  various 
materials    to    determine    a    method    of 


constructing  a  road  that  will  cost  even 
less  than  for  a  gravel  road,  yet  more 
satisfactory.  In  one  State  the  so 
called  "Veneer"  type  of  road  has  been 
built  and  it  shows  great  promise.  This 
type  Is  built  by  placing  three  Inches  of 
2  to  2H  Inch  stone  directly  upon  the 
shaped  road  surface  and  rolling  It  Into 
the  soil  so  that  the  stone  is  properly 
keyed  to  the  subgrade.  Then  a  light 
coating  of  asphaltic  road  oil  is  poured 
on  to  the  stone  and  this  Is  then  fol- 
lowed by  placing  smaller  stone  on  the 
surface  to  prevent  the  passing  cars 
from  "picking  up"  the  asphalt.  These 
smaller  stone  also  wedge  into  the 
larger  ones  underneath,  thus  forming 
a  hard,  dense  layer.  Other  types  of 
construction,  such  as  the  sand-asphalt 
and  marl-asphalt  are  being  tried;  both 
of  these  types  utilizing  local  material 
incorporated  witli  small  amounts  of 
asphalt  to  serve  as  a  binding  material. 
The  Highway  Research  Board  Is 
calling  attention  to  the  fact  that  while 
all  present  research  work  should  con- 
tinue, the  need  of  a  low  cost,  service- 
able road  is  needed  so  that  the  local 
farm  roads  may  be  brought  into  con- 
formity with  the  increasing  demand  In 
traffic,  (Some  method  of  stabilizing 
ordinary  earth,  particularly  in  wet 
weather,  is  needed  to  answer  this 
problem.  Low  cost  of  construction  is 
demanded  together  with  a  low  main- 
tenance cost.  Hard  surfaced  roads  have 
a  high  first  cost  with  a  low  mainten- 
ance charge;  gravel  and  selected  soil 
roads  have  a  low  construction  cost,  but 
a  higli  maintenance  cost.  What  road 
surface  has  a  low  first  cost,  low  main- 
tenance cost  and  will  carry  fairly 
heavy  traffic?  


American    Industry 
by   Tests   of 


Profits 
Standards    Bureau 


Scientific  investigations  and  tests  re- 
sulting in  large  savings  to  the  Govern- 
ment and  to  American  industry  through 
improvement  in  processes  and  the  fix- 
ing of  uniform  standards  are  featured 
in  the  annual  report  of  Doctor  George 
K.  Burgess,  Director  of  the  Bureau  of 
Standards,  submitted  to  Secretary  of 
Commerce   Hoover   just  released. 

Investigations  made  during  the  year 
with  orifice  meters  for  measuring  gas, 
corrosion  of  underground  pipes,  and 
tests  conducted  covering  impact- 
stresses  in  highway  bridges,  braking 
systems  for  automobiles,  and  other 
studies,  have  resulted  in  the  application 
of  improved  methods  in  engineering 
practices  that  are  of  direct  and  sub- 
stantial savings  to  the  industrial  pub- 
lic,   Mr.   Burgess    states. 

Other  contributions  to  the  public  in- 
terest enumerated  in  the  report  are  the 
successful  development  of  methods  of 
reducing  the  loss  in  the  baking  of 
Japan  ware,  the  assistance  rendered 
the  optical-glass  industry  in  the 
United  States,  the  progress  made  in  the 
better  utilization  of  cotton  linters  and 
other  cotton  wastes,  and  the  develop- 
ment of  a  method  for  reclamation  of 
gasoline  from  dry-cleaning   processes. 

An  increase  of  more  than  one  hund- 
red and  twenty-five  times  its  initial 
volume  has  taken  place  in  the  testing 
work  of  the  Bureau  of  Standards 
during  the  23  years  of  its  existence, 
the  report  states.  During  the  year  just 
closed  135,852  tests  were  conducted  by 
all  divisions  of  the  Bureau,  as  com- 
pared with   115,729   in  1923. 

"Most  of  the  tests  of  the  past  year 
were  executed  for  other  branches  of  the 
Government,  practically  every  branch 
making  use  of  the  facilities  provided. 
A   great    deal   of    testine,    however,    Is 


done  for  commercial  firms  and  for  in- 
dividuals, over  40,000  test  folders, 
covering  over  600,000  such  tests,  for 
which  a  charge  is  made,  having  been 
issued  since  the  founding  of  the 
Bureau.  The  Government  work  is  given 
precedenc,  however,  and  in  some  cases 
all  testing  except  that  for  the  Govern- 
ment has  had  to  be  refused  because  the 
demand  exceeds  the  facilities  for  dong 
this   work. 

The  inability  to  meet  this  demand  is 
unfortunate,  Mr.  Burgess  points  out. 
It  is  very  desirable  for  the  Bureau  to 
carry  out  certain  tests  for  outside  par- 
ties, he  claims,  not  only  as  a  means  of 
assisting  American  industries  and 
citizens  but  because  the  information  so 
gained  is  of  value  to  the  Bureau.  "The 
Bureau  has  no  intention  of  entering 
into  competition  with  commercial  test- 
ing laboratories,  but  there  are  certain 
classes  of  work  which  it  is  considered 
desirable  for  it  to  undertake  because 
the  results  would  be  of  public  benefit." 

At  the  present  time  over  85  per  cent 
of  the  scientific  instruments  used  In 
the  United  States  are  manufactured  In 
this  country.  There  has  been  a  tre- 
mendous extension  of  the  use  of  in- 
struments in  all  fields  of  industry.  In 
the  meantime  the  Bureau's  facilities  for 
testing  these  types  of  apparatus  havo 
not  been  materially  increased  and  the 
American  manufacturers  have  been 
greatly  handicapped  by  their  inability 
to  get  adequate  service  from  the 
Bureau  in  developing  and  testing  their 
instruments.  In  some  cases  American 
adequate  tests,  and  they  have  oc- 
casionally had  to  send  instruments 
manufacturers  have  been  compelled  to 
adopt  unsatisfactory  substitutes  fo5 
abroad   and  to  Canada  for  test.

SCHEBLINE      COMPANY      TO       TAKE 
OVER     SACRAMENTO     PLANT 


A  thirty-day  option  on  the  Golden 
AVest  Motors  Company  plant  and  prop- 
erty at  Sacramento  has  been  taken  by 
the  Scheeline  Manufacturing-  Company 
of  San  Francisco  in  anticipation  of 
moving-  the  present  plant  of  the  com- 
pany from"  San  Francisco  to  Sacra- 
mento. 

It  is  the  plan  of  the  company  to 
consummate  the  purchase  of  the  prop- 
erty -with  the  thirty-day  period  and 
begin  the  remodeling  of  the  buildings 
there  at  once. 

The  Scheelin  company  is  engaged  in 
the  manufacture  of  electrical  heating 
devices  for  use  in  boilers,  steam 
radiators  and  other  electrical  heating 
fixtures. 

The  proposed  plant  -would  employ 
from   250   to   300   men. 

The  electrical  heating  elements  are 
at  present  being  manufactured  for  the 
general  trade  and  like-wise  for  the 
other  manufacturing  concerns  employ- 
ing electric  heating  elements  in  their 
products. 

The  officers  of  the  company  are: 
Edwin  Scheeline,  president;  G.  L.  Stan- 
nard,  vice  president  and  general  man- 
ager; R.  C.  Sporleder,  vice  president; 
and  Julius  Strauss,  director,  foreign 
exporter. 

Sacramento  -was  chosen  as  the  lo- 
cation for  the  company's  new  location 
after  a  survey  of  a  number  of  Central 
California   cities. 


UPTURN  IN  BUILDING  COSTS 


Tendency  of  construction  costs  to 
move  up-ward,  reflecting  growing  de- 
mands for  materials,  gain  in  contracts 
let  and  increasing  price  firmness  was 
reported  by  the  weekly  construction 
barometer  issued  by  the  Bngineermg 
News-Record  under  date  of  November 
20  A  one  per  cent  gain  in  costs  over 
those  of  early  November  will  be  reach- 
ed by  December  4,.  present  indications 
show,  continues  the  report.  Expansion 
in  demand  is  noticed  particularly  in 
concreting  materials,  lime,  linseed  oil 
and  clay  products.  Demand  for  brick 
dropped  12  per  cent  in  the  last  thirty 
days  and  lumber  requirements  dropped 
slightly.  Except  for  these  staples,  a 
general  upward  movement  in  materials 
demand   is   noted. 

In  the  opinion  of  John  Donlin,  re- 
tiring president  of  the  Building  Trades 
Department  of  the  American  Federation 
of  Labor,  high  wages  and  high  prices  in 
the  building  industry  are  doomed.  In 
an  address  before  the  convention  now 
in  session  at  El  Paso,  Texas,  he  warned 
the  building  tradesmen  to  prepare  for 
wage  readjustments.  He  stated  that 
he  believed  the  end  of  the  construction 
boom  was  in  sight  and  when  the  in- 
dustry returned  to  a  normal  basis,  the 
law  of  supply  and  demand  would  bring 
about    lower    construction    costs. 


CONTRACTOR    LOSES    SUIT    AGAINST 
STATE       OP       CALIFORNIA 


Superior  Judge  Malsolm  C.  Glenn. 
Sacramento,  gave  judgment  in  favor  of 
the  state  of  Californoa  in  a  suit 
brought  against  the  state  by  Guy  F. 
Atkinson,  a  contractor,  in  which  he 
sought  to  recover  $26,115.65  alleged  due 
under  a  contract  by  which  he  con- 
structed twelve  miles  of  highway  be- 
tween  Coalinga   and  Fresno. 

Atkinson  claimed  the  amount  was 
due  him  for  extra  yardage  in  throwing 
up  an  embankment  for  the  highway  and 
for  extra  yardage  in  the  raising  of 
the   shoulders    for   the    road. 

The  court  held  that  Atkinson  offered 
insufficient  proof  of  the  extra  yardage 
in  the  embankment  work  and  that  he 
was  not  given  authority  to  raise  the 
shoulders.

this  invention  the  separation  takes 
place  at  the  point  where  the  oil  enters 
the  pump,  the  gas  being  mainly  ex- 
cluded, thus  relieving  the  pumping  in- 
strumentalities of  its  presence.  The 
pump  comprises  a  barrel  adapted  for 
suspension  in  a  well.  The  barrel  has 
an  e-xterior  space  with  an  entrance 
from  the  well  to  its  upper  portion.  The 
space  also  has  an  entrance  from  its 
lower  portion  into  the  interior  of  the

LATCH.  This  is  an  improvement  in 
combined  hasp  latches,  such  as  are 
used  in  connection  with  gates,  garages 
and  barn  doors.  The  position  of  the 
combined  hasp  and  latch  may  be  re- 
versed, that  is,  it  will  serve  equally 
well  for  a  left  hand  as  for  a  right  hand 
gate  or  door  without  necessitating  a 
special  type  being  made  for  either  one 
or  the  other.  It  is  operable  from  either 
side   of  a  door.

has  six  cylinders  arranged  in  a  row, 
the  first  and  second  cj'linders  from  each 
end  functioning  as  combustion  cylin- 
ders and  being  supplied  with  gaseous 
fuel  from  a  pair  of  pumping  cylinders 
that  are  arranged  between  the  two 
pairs  of  combustion  cylinders.  One 
pumping  cylinder  functions  for  the  ad- 
jacent two  combustion  cylinders.  Mr.

Andrew  Stenbrud,  of  Oakland.  BEND- 
ING TOOL.  This  is  a  suitable  tool  that 
will  allow  a  connecting  rod  to  be  bent 
while  it  is  fastened  to  the  piston  to 
secure  perfect  parallelism  bet-ween  the 
axes  of  the  wrist  pin  and  the  crank 
shaft.  After  a  connecting  rod  has  been 
straightened  out  to  approximately 
bring  the  two  axes  into  the  proper  re- 
lationship, it  frequently  happens  that 
there  still  exists  a  slight  divergence 
between  the  two  axes  which  can  be  re- 
medied conveniently  only  while  the 
connecting  rod  is  in  place. 


Enos  H.  Johnson  of  Los  Angeles.

shaper  milling  machines  or  drill  presses. 
The  device  affords  proper  adjustment 
for  holding  material  being  worlied  upon 
at  any  desired  angle.  It  is  suitable  for 
any  kind  of  bench  work,  and  may  be 
employed  entirely  separate  from  the 
universal  features  of  adjustment.  It 
has  thoroughly  reliable  pipe  jaw  at- 
tachments which  can  be  applied  quickly

FOR^^NG  MACHINE.  This  is  a  ma- 
chine adapted  primarily  to  form  -water 
checlving  ridges  to  confine  irrigating 
water  on  any  desired  areas  of  land.  It 
is  simple  and  inexpensive,  yet  an  ef- 
ficient and  desirable  machine,  and  may 
be  used  to  form  a  solid  ridge,  at  a 
single   operation. 


EARLY    DECISION    IS    EXPECTED    IN 
CITY  HALL   CASE 


The  Stockton  city  hall  cases,  R.  L. 
Gnekow  of  Stockton  and  Howard  S. 
Williams  of  San  Francisco,  versus  the 
city  of  Stockton,  are  in  the  hands  of 
the  supreme  court  for  decision.  The 
cases  were  to  have  been  argued  last 
week  in  Sacramento,  but  attorneys  de- 
cided to  submit  the  cases  on  briefs. 


It  is  expected  that  an  early  decision 
will  be  made  and  that  construction  of 
the  city  hall  can  begin  in  the  early 
spring.  Gnekow  and  Williams  are  seek- 
ing to  have  contracts  a-n-arded  them 
for  the  electric  and  general  construc- 
tion, declared  valid.  Mayor  Raymond 
J.  Wheeler  refused  to  sign  the  con- 
tracts after  a  preceding  mayor  and 
council  ha^  verbally  awarded  them.

Biltmore  Hotel,  Los  Angeles 

Announcement  is  made  of  the  affiliation  of  the  Western  Safety  Manufactur- 
ing Co.,  Inc.,  of  San  Francisco,  manufacturers  of  electrical  safety  switches,  with 
the  firm  of  Brown  and  Pengilly,  2114  East  Ninth  street,  Los  Angeles.  The  latter 
concern  manufactures  switch  and  panel  boards.  The  former  company  in  future 
will  manufacture  and  distribute  in  conjunction  with  the  Los  Angeles  firm  all 
switchboards  and  panels  in  the  northern  section  of  California. 


The  panels  and  switchboards  are  well  known 
on  the  Pacific  Coast  and  are  extensively  used  in 
the  Southern  California  section,  where,  company 
officials  point  out,  more  than  seventy-five  per 
cent  of  the  office  buildings,  theatres,  clubs  and 
hotels  erected  within  the  past  few  years  have 
been  equipped  with  the  Brown  and  Pengilly  in- 
stallations. 

Among  the  more  important  installations  re- 
cently completed  in  the  Southern  California  sec- 
tion is  the  Biltmore  Hotel  in  Los  Angeles.  Other 
large  installations  include  Grauman's  Metropolitan 
Theatre  in  Los  Angeles  and  another  in  Holly- 
wood. The  Pacific  Finance  Building,  the  Uni- 
versity Club,  Pacific  Mutual  Building  and  other 


notable  structures  have  been  equipped  with  the 
Brown  and  Pengilly  switch  and  panel  boards. 

The  materials  used  in  the  manufacture  of  the 
boards  are  of  the  highest  quality.  G.  E.  Toggle 
switches  and  Jotms-Manville  Ebony  boards  are 
used  in  the  manufacture.  The  products  are  in- 
spected and  approved  by  the  National  Board  of 
Fire  Underwriters  and  meet  with  the  approval  of 
all  local  departments. 

Catalogs,  prices  and  samples  of  main  switch 
boards,  electric  panel  boards,  safety  switches  or 
special  gutter  for  the  installation  of  wires  or  ap- 
pliances will  be  furnished  on  request  to  the  office

During  the  thirty-five  years  that  have 
elapsed  since  .structural  steel  was  in- 
troduced, there  has  developed  an  in- 
dustry engaged  in  the  fabrication  and 
erection  of  this  material  which  is  now 
furnishing  more  than  $300,000,000  worth 
of  products  to  the  public  annually.  The 
development  of  this  enormous  industry 
has  brought  into  existence  many  incon- 
sistent practices  and  definitions. 

To  clear  up  this  confusion,  and 
eliminate  the  various  sources  of  dis- 
pute, the  American  Institute  of  Steel 
Construction,  representing  the  industry 
between  the  rolling  mills  and  the  buy- 
ing public,  has  undertaken  the  codify- 
ing of  the  various  trade  practices,  with 
a  view  of  establishing  uniform  proce- 
dure. . 

An  instance  of  one  of  the  many  fruit- 
ful sources  of  misunderstanding  be- 
tween buyer  and  seller  is  furnished  by 
the  classification  of  the  various  iron 
and  steel  items  entering  into  a  struc- 
ture. In  the  past  there  has  existed  a 
great  deal  of  confusion  as  to  just  what 
constitutes  structural  steel  and  iron. 
The  Institute's  Code  of  Standard  Prac- 
tice has  divided  the  steel  entering  into 
a  structure  into  the  following  classes: 
Class  "A"— Structural  Steel  and  Iron; 
Class  "B" — Ornamental  Steel  and  Iron; 
Class  "C" — Steel  Floor  Joists;  Class 
"0" — Miscellaneous   Steel   and   Iron. 

Under  these  four  classifications  the 
various  items  are  enumerated  in  suf- 
ficient detail  to  eliminate  any  possibil- 
ity of  doubt  as  to  the  material  to  be 
delivered  under  contract. 

This  classification  is  typical  of  the 
thoroughness  of  the  manner  in  which 
the  code  has  been  developed.  A  com- 
mittee of  the  Institute  worked  for  a 
year  on  the  codification  of  the  best  en- 
gineering practice.  When  the  first 
draft  was  completed,  it-  was  sent  out 
broadcast  to  engineers,  architects,  con- 
tractors, technical  publications  and 
others  interested,  with  a  request  for 
criticisms  and  suggestions.  More  than 
150  letters  were  received,  all  of  which 
were  carefully  analyzed,  and  the  first 
draft    of    the    code    revised    to    embody

PREDICTS   PROSPEROUS   1925 


"The  stage  is  set  once  more  for  a 
period  of  substalned  prosperity,"  Col. 
Leonard  V.  Ayres,  vice  president  of  the 
Cleveland  Trust  Company  and  an 
economist  of  international  reputation, 
told  members  of  the  Cleveland  Chamber 
of  Commerce  at  a  recent  meeting.  He 
summarized  his  view  of  1925  in  this 
way. 

"Early  in  1925  interest  rates  will  be 
low  with  a  rising  tendency. 

"Bond  prices  will  rise,  reach  their 
peak  and  start  to  turn  downward. 


those  which  developed  to  be  pertinent. 
This  revised  draft  was  reviewed  by  a 
committee  of  eight  engineers,  who  also 
made  certain  revisions  and  suggestions. 
The  resulting  draft  was  in  turn  dis- 
tributed, much  in  the  same  manner  as 
the  committee's  first  copy,  and  the 
document  was  finally  reviewed  by  the 
board  of  directors  of  the  Institute.  The 
last  step  was  to  have  the  code  studied 
from  a  legal  standpoint  by  two  prom- 
inent attorneys.  The  result  of  this 
painstaking  effort  has  been  described 
by  prominent  engineers  and  technical 
experts  as  the  most  accurate  code  of 
practice  ever  developed  for  any  in- 
dustry. 

Throughout  the  code  every  possible 
effort  has  been  made  to  safeguard  the 
interests  of  the  buyer  equally  with 
those  of  the  seller.  The  result  is  a  code 
which  defines  in  unmistakable  terms 
the  rights  of  all  parties  concerned, 
with  a  resulting  economy  to  the  user 
and  producer  of  structural  steel  in  its 
various  forms. 

The  report  clears  up  definitely  the 
basis  of  invoice  weights.  It  defines 
what  constitutes  a  plumb  building, 
something  which  has  never  been  done 
before.  On  the  question  of  delays, 
rigid  requirements  have  been  set  up 
which  tie  the  hands  of  the  seller 
equally  with  those  of  the  buyer  in 
every  detail,  and  making  the  question 
of  compensation  and  adjustments  for 
such  delays  simple,  definite,  and  free 
from  obscurity  or  the  countless  loop- 
holes that  have  been  the  source  of  so 
much  annoyance  to  the  industry  and 
the  users  of  structural  steel. 

In  connection  with  the  code,  the  In- 
stitute has  worked  out  a  standard  form 
of  proposal,  under  which  the  seller 
agrees  to  furnish  to  the  buyer  certain 
materials  and  labor,  "in  accordance 
with  the  conditions  of  the  Code  of 
Standard  Practice  of  the  American  In- 
stitute of  Steel  Construction."  Execu- 
tion of  this  proposal  by  buyer  and 
seller  Is  all  that  is  necessary  to  make 
the   code  operative   on   any  contract. 

"Stock  prices  will  rise,  reach  a  peak 
and    start    downward. 

"It  will  be  a  year  of  large  volume  of 
building  construction  but  not  record- 
breaking,  not  like  1923  or  1924. 

"Building   costs    will    remain   firm. 

"The  volume  of  industrial  employ- 
ment  will   increase. 

"The   trend  of  wages   will   Improve. 

"The  cost  of  living  will  rise. 

"The  volume  of  iron  and  steel  pro- 
duction will  be  much  greater  than  in 
1924. 

"The  aggregate  output  of  truck  and 
passenger  automobiles  will  approxi- 
mate 3,600,000."

TILE        IXDrSTRY        F.AVORS        HIGH 
TARIFP^    FOR    PROTECTIOIV 


To  protect  the  American  tile  in;inu- 
facturingr  industry  from  dangerous 
foreign  competition,  the  tile  contractors 
of  this  country  favor  a  high  tariff  on 
the  imported  product.  This  was  declar- 
ed by  Clarence  W.  McCauIley,  president 
of  the  eastern  district  of  the  National 
Tile  Contractors'  Association  of 
America.     He  said: 

"The  importea  tile  cannot  compare  in 
quality  and  workmanship  with  the 
American  product,  but  the  factories 
abroad  are  rapidly  improving  their  pro- 
duct which  is  entering  this  country  in 
increasing  quantities. 

Tt  will  not  be  long  before  the  foreign 

littition,     because     of    cheap     labor 

jd,    will    injure    the    industry   here. 

--    contractors,   however,  even  though 

ii   may  seem  a  loss   of  money,   because 

'''t    raised    costs,    advocate    a    protective 

tariff  to  protect  the  tile  industry  in  the 

United   States." 

Delegates  and  officials  to  the  con- 
vention declare  that  the  tile  industry 
in  this  country  has  been  free  from 
labor  troubles,  principally  because  of  a 
satisfactory  wage  agreement  with  the 
workers,  which  has  nearly  two  years 
yet  to  run,  and  because  of  prompt  and 
fair   arbitration   of   all   controversies. 


ni'SIKESS    BOO.M    FORCAST    BY    U. 
TREASURY  HEAD 


Years  of  "prosperous  and  healthv 
conditions  such  as  succeeded  the  elec- 
tion of  1896"  were  forecast  for  the 
United  States  by  Secretary  Mellon  In 
the  annual  report  of  the  Treasury  sent 
to   Congress. 

The  Secretary's  views  are  based,  he 
said,  on  the  repudiation  of  "various 
theories  inconsistent  with  economic 
laws"  and  the  indorsement  of  a  pro- 
Kram  of  constructive  handling  of  gov- 
ernment affairs  given  in  the  last  elec- 
tion. He  counselled  the  nation,  how- 
ever, to  approach  its  problems  with  in- 
telligence that  the  progress  made  and 
the  groundwork  laid  in  the  last  four 
years  may  not  come  to  naught. 

The  United  States,  he  asserted,  was 
the  first  world  power  to  come  through 
the  post-war  transition  stage  success- 
fully and  the  first  to  be  able  to  pre- 
sent "reasonable  assurance"  that  "true 
progress"  will  continue  within  its 
border.  Mr.  Mellon  urged  perpetuation 
of  the  program  adopted  by  "the  great 
ma.iority  of  our  people  in  the  last  elec- 
tion" which  he  interpreted  as  one  of 
"hard  work.  economy  and  sound 
policies." 

In  general  economic  conditions  as 
well  as  in  the  domain  of  federal  fiscal 
operations,  Mr.  Mellon  recounted  how 
complete  the  transition  had  been.  He 
said  that  in  the  last  four  years  the  per 
capita  tax  on  citizens  of  the  United 
."states  had  been  cut  from  .$54  to  $27.  or 
exactly  one-half;  public  expenditures 
which  in  1920  exceeded  $6,500,000,000 
were  only  $3,.';00,000,000  in  the  fiscal 
year  which  ended  last  July  1  and  the 
"complete  disorganization"  of  the 
economic  structure  by  the  collapse  of 
prices  in  1922  and  1921  has  been  recti- 
fied. 

The  lifting  of  the  tax  burden,  al- 
though slig-ht  as  the  decrease  has  been, 
has  done  much  for  business,  Mr.  Mellon 
said,  and  he  expressed  the  hope  that 
jflore  could  be  done  soon.  He  said  he 
desired  tax  reform  as  well  as  tax  re- 
duction and  warned  against  using  the 
field  of  taxation  as  a  field  "for  socialis- 
tic experiment  or  as  a  club  to  punish 
success."  If  this  were  done,  he  said, 
the  conditions  of  a  few  years  ago  may 
come  back. 


SACRAMENTO      IS    SEEN    AS      IDEAL 
FOR   GLASS    AND  PAINT   PLANTS 


Sacramento  was  described  as  the 
most  logical  site  in  the  country  for  a 
paint  and  glass  factory  of  large  out- 
put. W.  E.  Thomas  of  the  Southern 
Pacific's  paint  department  declaring  the 
Washington  district  of  Nevada  County 
to  be  the  storehouse  of  vast  quantities 
of  the  best  raw  materials  to  be  found 
in  the  world  for  this  purpose.  Thomas 
spoke  at  the  regular  weekly  meeting  of 
the  bureau  of  mines  and  mining  of  the 
Sacramento   Chamber   of   Commerce. 

"Los  Angeles  has  200  paint  factories. 
San  Francisco  a  like  numuer,"  said 
Thomas.  "Sacramento  has  one.  with 
the  best  ochres  and  silicas  to  be  found 
anywhere  in  the  world  at  her  very 
doorstep." 

Thomas,  for  many  years  a  miner, 
working  twelve  years  in  the  Ply- 
mouth Mine  in  Amador  County,  has 
prospected  throughout  the  state  and 
foresees  a  big  industrial  future  for 
Sacramento  if  advantage  is  taken  of 
the  proximity  of  mineral  resources.  In 
his  talk  he  blamed  the  high  cost  of 
mining  on    unskilled   labor. 


PAVING    MATERIALS    PRODUCED    IN 

1023 

The  Department  of  Commerce  an- 
nounces that,  according  to  data  collect- 
ed at  the  biennial  census  of  manufac- 
tures. 1923.  establishments  engaged 
primarily  in  the  manufacture  of  pav- 
ing materials  reported  products  val- 
ued at  $71,648  660  ,an  increase  of  17  2 
per  cent  as  compared  with  1921  tlie 
last  preceding  census  year.  This  in- 
dustry classification  covers  estab- 
lishments whose  principal  products  are 
paving  blocks  (including  granite  but 
not  including  other  forms  of  stone) 
and  paving  materials  of  all  classes, 
mixed  and  unmixed,  for  streets,  side- 
walks, and  floors. 

In  addition,  paving  materials  were 
manufactured  to  some  extent  as  sec- 
ondary products  by  establishments  en- 
gaged primarily  in  other  industries 
The  value  of  such  products  thus  made 
outside  the  industry  proper  in  1921 
was  $2,797,639,  an  amount  equal  to  4  6 
per  cent  of  the  value  of  producers  re- 
ported for  the  industry  as  classified. 
The  corresponding  value  for  1923  has 
not  yet  been  ascertained  but  will  be 
shown  in  the  final  report  of  the  pres- 
ent census. 

Of  the  626  establishments  reporting 
for  1923,  140  were  located  In  Pennsyl- 
vania. 64  in  Ohio.  49  in  New  York,  36 
in  Missouri.  34  in  New  Jersey.  25  in 
Illinois.  24  each  In  California  and  In- 
diana, IS  each  in  Kentucky  and  Mary- 
land, 17  in  Massachusetts.  15  each  In 
Virginia  and  Wisconsin,  14  in  Tennes- 
see, 13  in  Iowa.  12  each  In  Connecticut 
and  Kansas.  11  in  Texas,  9  each  in 
N  rth  Carolina  and  Oklahoma,  8  in 
West  Virginia,  7  in  Oregon,  6  each  In 
Alabama,  Minnesota,  and  Nebraska, 
and  the  remaining  34  in  12  other  States, 
In  1921  the  industry  was  represented 
by  653  establishments,  the  decrease  to 
626  in  1923  being  the  net  result  of  the 
loss  of  85  establishments  which  had 
been  included  for  1921  and  the  addi- 
tion of  58  which  had  not  been  classified 
in  this  industry  for  that  year.  Of  the 
85  establishments  lost  to  the  industry, 
21  had  gone  out  of  business  prior  to 
the  beginning  of  1923,  28  were  idle 
during  the  entire  year,  34  reported  pro- 
ducts valued  at  less  than  $5000  (no 
data  are  tabulated  at  the  biennial 
censuses  for  establishments  with  prod- 
ucts under  $5000  in  value),  and  2  were 
engaged  In  the  manufacture  of  prod- 
ucts other  than  paving  materials  in 
1923  and  were  therefore  transferred  to 
the  appropriate  industries.  Of  the  58 
establishments  not  previously  classi- 
fied in  this  industry.  55  were  new  to 
the  census  and  3  manufactured  other 
products  than  paving  materials  In  1921. 


PERMANENT  HIGHWAYS 


Many  persons  fail  to  make  a  distinc- 
tion between  "high  class"  pavements 
and  "permanent"  highways.  These 
terms  seem  to  be  synonymous.  No  high- 
way is  permanent  except  by  mainten- 
ance and  repairs  as  the  traffic,  the  wind 
and  the  rain  wear  the  road  away.  A 
gravel  road  adequately  maintained  is 
as  permanent  as  a  cement  concrete  road 
properly  maintained,  and  gravel  in  its 
place  will  have  an  annual  cost  of  about 
one-third  as  much  as  the  concrete.  He 
who  speaks  of  "high  class"  construction 
as  "permanent"  construction  is  either 
confusing  his  hearer  or  deceiving  him- 
self.— Nevada  Highway  News.

cently by  the  Employment  Service  of 
the  Department  of  Labor,  in  a  survey 
covering  October  and  the  early  part 
of  November.  Concerning  the  con- 
struction industry,  the  report  has  the 
following  to  say:  "A  very  slight  let- 
up in  building  activity  has  made  its 
appearance,  due  principally  to  the 
rapid  completion  of  many  large  pro- 
jects. However,  the  volume  of  worlv 
now  under  way  will  provide  steady  em- 
ployment to  resident  building  trades- 
men well  into  the  Winter  months,"

BUSINESS     CLUB     HEARS     TALK     ON 
UNIFORM    BUILDING    CODE 


"The  seven  East  Bay  cities  are  all 
operating  under  different  building  laws, 
■which  is  an  economic  tvaste:  the  con- 
flicting laws  work  a  hardship  on  con- 
tractors, owners  and  the  public,"  said 
Horace  D.  Jones,  speaking  before  the 
Oakland  Mutual  Business  Club  at  Hotel 
Oakland.  Jones  is  chairman  of  the  code 
revision  committee  of  the  Alameda 
County    Builders'    Exchange. 

"The  work  of  the  committee  is  to  per- 
fect a  uniform  building  code  which  will 
apply  to  Oakland,  Berkeley,  Alameda, 
Piedmont,  Emeryville,  San  iLeandro  and 
Richmond.  When  completed,  which  will 
probably  be  in  about  six  months,  the 
code  will  be  used  as  a  model  by  Oregon, 
Washington,  Arizona  and  other  Pacific 
coast   states."

strain  gages  developed  by  the  Bureau 
of  Standards,  Department  of  Commerce. 
By  using  these  gages  it  was  possible 
to  record  automatically  the  variations 
in  the  loading  of  the  steel  when  the 
crowd  all  rose  in  a  body  or  stamped 
in  time  to  the  band. 

Such  mass  movement,  It  has  long 
been  known,  may  increase  the  live  load 
on  the  structure  far  beyond  that 
caused  by  the  people  when  sitting  or 
standing-  still  or  moving  at  random, 
but  until  recently  it  has  not  been  pos- 
sible to  obtain  an  accurate  record  of 
such  sudden  changes  of  stress.  In  this 
particular  test  the  live  load  when  the 
crowd  was  still  was  found  to  increase 
the  stress  in  the  steel  by  about  1000 
pounds  per  square  inch,  whereas  4000 
pounds  would  have  been  considered 
safe.  Under  the  worst  conditions  occur- 
ring during  the  course  of  the  game  the 
movements  of  the  crowds  sometimes 
gave  an  additional  300  pounds  per 
square  inch. 

It  is  pointed  out,  however,  that  the 
worst  conditions  from  the  point  of 
view  of  safety  arise  when  the  crowd 
in  stamping  rythmlcaly,  happens  to 
strike  the  natural  vibration  period  of 
the  structure.  It  has  been  reported 
that  under  these  conditions  the  stress 
has  exceeded  the  static  live  load  as 
much  as  150  per  cent. 

Tests  of  impact  stresses  in  other 
stadiums  are  being  made  from  time 
to  time,  and  the  data  being  accumu- 
lated are  expected  to  be  of  great  value 
as  a  guide  in  the  design  of  such  struc- 
tures. Great  uncertainty  now  exists 
as  to  the  alowance  to  be  made  for  im- 
pact stresses.  It  is  desirable  to  keep 
down  the  weight,  and  hence  the  cost 
of  the  structure,  but  at  the  same  time 
safety    Is    indispenslble. 

In  making  the  test  the  concrete  was 
removed  from  the  reinforcement  over 
short  lengths,  and  the  gages  were  at- 
tached directly  to  the  steel.  After 
the  test  the  holes  were  concreted  over 
again. 

A  gage  of  this  type  depends  for  its 
operation  on  the  fact  that  stacks  of 
carbon  rings  undergo  a  change  in  re- 
sistance with  change  in  pressure.  It  is 
so  arranged  that  a  small  change  in 
the  distance  between  the  points  of  at- 
tachment to  the  structure  causes  a 
change  In  the  pressures  on  two  of 
these  carbon  stacks,  the  pressure  on 
one  being  reduced  while  that  on  the 
other  is  increased.  The  change  in  dis- 
tance is  caused  by  a  change  in  the 
load  carried  by  the  steel. 

This  gage  is  connected  by  three  elec- 
tric wires  to  the  indicating  or  record- 
ing devise,  and  these  wire.s  may  be  of 
any  desired  lengths.  Changes  of  load  are 
followed  very  rapidly,  and  those  last- 
ing only  a  fraction  of  a  second  can  be 
recorded  as  well  as  changes  of  longer 
duration. 


Special   Correspondence  by   A.   '\V.   Dick 

Kociatlon  of  Building  Trades   Employers 


Executive   Secretary,  Xational  As- 


One  of  the  contributing  factors  en- 
tering into  present  day  buildings  costs 
is  unemployment  during  the  winter 
months  or  so-called  "off  season."  It 
has  been  estimated  that  the  average 
building  mechanic  is  only  employed 
about  nine  months  out  of  each  year  and 
since  his  cost  of  living  does  not  auto- 
matically stop  when  his  employment 
ceases,  he  has  to  demand  a  higher  rate 
of  pay  than,  men  in  comparable  indus- 
tries. 

What  Is  true  of  the  mechanic  is  also 
true  in  the  case  of  the  contractor. 
Every  contractor  large  or  small  has  a 
certain  amount  of  overhead  which  goes 
on  regardless  of  whether  or  not  he  has 
a  contract.  Consequently  he  is  obliged 
to  add  a  certain  part  of  this  to  the  cost 
of  each  job  he  takes,  following  a  period 
of  inactivity  if  he  wants  to  come  out 
on  the  right  side  of  the  ledger  at  the 
end  of  the  year. 

This  also  applies  to  the  material 
manufacturer  and  dealer  and  by  the 
time  it  is  passed  along  to  the  building 
public  It  has  become  an  important  item 
and  the  result  is,  building  costs  are 
considerably  higher  than  they  would  be 
if  the  industry  was  not  confronted  with 
an  off  season  each  year. 

Although  every  one  connected  with 
the  construction  Industry  recognized 
that  this  period  of  doing  business  was 
unsound  economically.  nothing  "was 
done  to  correct  the  situation  until  the 
President's  conference  on  unemploy- 
ment held  in  Washington  in  1921.  At 
that  time  Secretary  of  Commerce  Hoov- 
er appointed  a  special  committee  to  in- 
vestigate unemployment  in  the  con- 
.struction  industry  and  its  effect  on 
building  costs. 

This  committee  has  conducted  a 
thorough  investisration  and  has  just 
recently  concluded  its  work  and  the  re- 
sults of  its  finding  are  now  being  pub- 
lished in   book  form. 

The  committee  finds  that  winter 
building  is  both  practical  and  profit- 
able. It  urges  the  building  public  to 
stop  the  practice  of  withholding  the 
letting  of  contracts  until  the  busy  sea- 
son. The  committee  also  calls  to  the 
attention  of  contractors  the  fact  that 
they  can  do  a  lot  toward  leveling  the 
peak  load  by  making  special  price  con- 
cessions   for    winter    construction. 

Among  other  things  the  committee 
found  that  "Custom,  not  climate,  is 
mainly  responsible  for  seasonal  idle- 
ness in  th'?  construction  industries." 
In  other  words,  in  those  sections  of  the 
country  where  climatic  conditions  do 
not  have  any  bearing  on  construction 
work  there  is  a  tendency  to  stop  opera- 
tions  during  the  winter  months. 

In  order  to  determine  the  actual  num- 
ber of  working  days  lost  in  various 
sections  on  account  of  inclement 
weather,  the  committee  secured  from 
the  United  States  Weather  Bureau,  sta- 
tistics from  nine  cities  covering  an 
average  for  the  last  ten  years.  This 
shows  a  variation  in  the  case  of  St. 
Paul  of  106.4  cold  or  rainy  working 
days  from  November  1  to  March  31,  to 
5.4   days  tor  San   Francisco. 

Modern  methods  of  construction, 
however,   made   it  possible  for  work  to 


be  carried  on  regardless  of  climatic 
conditions.  It  is  now  feasable  to  en- 
close an  entire  job  with  canvas  and 
heat  the  interior  of  a  building  with 
salamanders  so  that  concrete  can  be 
safely  poured  in  the  most  severe  winter 
weather.  Various  devices  have  been  in- 
vented and  are  in  use  which  make  it 
possible  to  heat  aggregates  in  large 
quantities.  Anti  freeze  solutions  are 
also  used  in  concrete  which  eliminate 
to  a  large  extent  the  possibility  of 
frozen  concrete. 

One  of  the  advantages  of  winter  con- 
struction is  the  availability  of  labor 
both  skilled  and  unskilled.  It  is  a 
rare  case  indeed  where  a  contractor  is 
obliged  to  pay  a  bonus  to  men  working 
on  a  job  in  winter,  while  of  late  years 
this  form  of  extra  compensation  has 
been  demanded  on  nearly  all  large  pro- 
jects built  during  the  busy  season.  A 
survey  conducted  by  the  United  States 
Gvpsum  Company  on  a  winter  job  cost- 
ing $750,000  showed  a  saving  in  costs 
of  $87,710  due  to  the  increased  efficiency 
of  the  men  and  their  willingness  to 
work  for  the  scale.  Bricklayers  who 
had  received  during  warm  weather  $16 
and  even  $20  a  day,  were  glad  to  work 
on  this  building  for  $10  a  day.  The 
total  cost  of  protecting  the  job  from 
the  weather  was   $3,683. 

As  a  general  thing,  however,  costs 
are  somewhat  higher  on  winter  con- 
struction than  they  are  on  warm 
weather  jobs.  The  increased  cost  on  30 
typical  contracts  selected  by  the 
Hoover  Committee  showed  an  average 
of  only  ZVi  per  cent  over  warm  weather 
costs. 

The  small  extra  cost  of  building  dur- 
ing cold  weather  loses  much  of  its 
significance  when  the  investment  in- 
volved is  a  heavy  one.  Carrying 
charges  continue  at  the  same  rate 
cold  as  in  warm  weather  and  a  gain  of 
three  months'  time  in  the  completion 
of  a   building   is   an   important   item. 

Penalties  for  delay  and  premiums  for 
hastening  construction  have  done  much 
in  the  way  of  stimulating  builders  to 
greater  ingenuity  in  winter  methods. 

Notable  examples  of  major  construc- 
tion operations  carried  on  during  winter 
weather  in  the  past  two  years  are  the 
following:  The  Drake  Hotel  and  the 
Furniture  Mart.  Chicago;  the  Milwau- 
kee Journal,  Milwaukee;  the  Union 
Trust  Building,  Cleveland;  Lake  Placid 
Club,  Lake  Placid,  N.  T. 

Now  that  the  report  of  the  Hoover  I 
Committee  is  available  it  is  believed 
that  more  attention  will  be  given  to 
the  advantages  of  winter  construction. 
Organizations  such  as  the  Associated 
General  Contractors  of  America,  the 
National  Association  of  Building  Trades 
Emplovers.  the  American  Construction 
Counci'l  and  many  others  are  interested 
in  the  movement  and  are  constantly 
bringing  the  importance  of  this  matter 
before   their  members. 

As  a  result  of  the  activities  of  these 
groups,  the  time  is  not  far  off  when  the 
construction  Industry  will  operate  on 
a  twelve  months  a  year  basis  and  as  a 
consequence,  building  costs  will  be  re- 
ducd. 


Labor  fared  "almost  phenomenally 
well"  in  the  general  elections,  Samuel 
Gompers,  President  of  the  American 
Federation  of  Labor,  said  in  a  recent 
interview.  "In  the  face  of  the  tremen- 
dous Coolidge  landslide,  there  were 
elected  to  the  new  House  of  Represen- 
tatives more  members  having  labor's 
endorsement  than  are  found  in  the 
present  House,  which  has  170  such 
members."

Substantial   Increase   in   Lumber 

Orders — National   Survey   Discloses 


(Special  CurreMpuiidence) 


According  to  reports  to  the  National 
Lumber  Manufacturers  Association  re- 
ceived Dec.  4  from  3iS  of  the  larger 
softwood  commercial  sawmills  of  the 
country,  as  compared  with  the  re- 
vised reports  from  382  mills  for  the 
preceding  week  {.a.  difference  of  24 
mills;  production  showed  a  continued 
decrease.  Shipmenis  show  a  decrease 
as  compared  with  the  reports  of  the 
previous  week,  while  orders  (new  busi- 
ness; are  holding  up  unusually  well 
and  are  more  than  2U  per  cent  above 
last    year    lor    the    same    week. 

For  the  first  time  since  '  August 
monthly  totals  for  the  eight  associa- 
tions show  n6w  business  above  pro- 
duction. In  the  four  weeks  ending  No- 
vember 2a,  new  business  (as  designated 
oy  cumulative  uuniled  orders)  was 
nearly  20  per  cent  above  actual  pro- 
duction. This  is  partly  due  to  the 
Seasonal  drop  in  production,  yet  the  five 
associations,  which  report  normal  pro- 
duction, show  new  business  i^or  the 
lOur  weeks  of  November  as  12^4  per 
cent  above  normal  production. 

The  unfilled  orders  of  243  Southern 
Pine  and  West  Coast  mills  were  G25,- 
2b0,62t)  feet,  as  against  5ai,tiHi,lo7  feet 
lor  213  mills  the  week  before.  Sepa- 
rately, the  jjouihern  Pine  group  Vi 
mills,  reported  unflUed  orders  as  '251"- 
S02,7tjl  feet,  compared  with  243,5ti7,6ti'5 
feet  for  the  same  number  of  mills  the 
previous  week;  lis  West  Coast  mills 
had  unflUed  orders  amounting  to  373,- 
3a  1,863  feet,  as  against  348,048,492  feet 
tor  118  mills  a  week  earlier. 

Altogether  the  358  comparably  re- 
porting mills  had  shipments  110  per 
cent  and  orders  134  per  cent  of  actual 
production.  For  the  Southern  Pine 
mills  these  percentages  were  re- 
spectively 115  and  128;  and  for  the  West 
Coast  mills   101   and  128. 

Of  the  comparably  reporting  mills, 
333  (having  a  normal  production  for 
the  week  of  208,296,737  feet;  reported 
production  93  per  cent  of  normal,  ship- 
ments 99  per  cent,  and  orders  122  per 
cent  thereof. 

^  The  mills  of  the  California  White  & 
bugar  Pine  Association  make  weekly 
reports,  but  for  a  considerable  period 
they  were  not  comparable  in  respect  to 
orders  with  those  of  other  mills.  Con- 
sequently, the  former  are  not  repre- 
sented in  any  of  the  foregoing  figures. 
Fifteen  of  these  mills  reported  a  cut 
of  9,274,000  feet  last  week,  shipments 
13,588,000  feet,  and  orders  13,134,000 
feet.  The  reported  cut  represents  38 
per  cent  of  the  total  of  the  California 
Pine  region. 


The  West  Coast  Lumbermen's  Asso- 
ciation wires  from  Seattle  that  new 
business  for  the  118  mills  reporting  tor 
the  week  ending  November  29  was  28 
per  cent  above  production  and  21  per 
cent  above  shipments.  Of  all  new 
business  taken  during  the  Week,  4i> 
per  ceui  was  for  tuture  water  delivery, 
amounting  to  52,4stl,O00  of  which  33,- 
5it>,uoo  feet  was  for  domestic  cargo  de- 
livery, and  18,910,000  export.  New 
business  by  rail  amounted  to  1,945 
cars.  Forty- three  per  cent  of  the 
week's  lumber  shipments  moved  by 
water,  amounting  lo  3^,609,375  feet,  01 
which  28,473,441  feet  moved  coastwise 
and  intercoastal,  and  11,195,934  feel 
overseas.  Kail  shipments  totaled  1,670 
cars,  and  local  deliveries  were  5,025,625 
feet.  Unfilled  domestic  cargo  orders 
totaled  156,482,635  feet;  unfilled  export 
orders  91,925,230  feel;  unfilled  rail  trade 
oraers    4,165    cars. 

The  Southern  Pine  Association  re- 
ports from  New  (Jrleans  that  for  the 
125  mills  reporting  for  the  week,  ship- 
ments were  15.39  per  cent  above  pro- 
uuctiou,  current  orders  27.81  per  cent 
above  production  and  10.7  7  per  cent 
above  siiipiiients.  Of  the  79  mills  re- 
porting running  time,  62  were  on  full 
time,  0  were  shut  down,  and  the  rest 
operated  from  one  to  five  days. 

The  Western  Pine  JVlanufacturers  As- 
sociation, of  Portland,  Oregon,  reports 
a  small  decrease  iu  production  and 
shipments  and  a  fair  gain  in  new  busi- 
ness last  week  as  compared  with  the 
preceding  week.  Compared  with  the 
preceding  week  34  identical  mills  show 
an  increase  in  new  business  of  8  per 
cent,  a  5  per  cent  decrease  in  shipments 
and  a  10  per  cent  decrease  in  produc- 
tion. 

The  California  Redwood  Association 
of  San  Francisco  reports  a  slight  de- 
crease in  production  and  shipments  and 
a  small  gain  m  new  business  last  week 
compared  with   the  week   earlier. 

The  Northern  Carolina  Pine  Associa- 
tion of  Norfolk,  Virginia,  reports  a 
marked  decrease  in  all  three  factors, 
due  probably  to  the  fact  that  15  fewer 
mills  reported  last  week  than  for  the 
week  before. 

The  Northern  Hemlock  &  Hardwood 
Manufacturers  Association  of  Oshkosh, 
Wisconsin  (in  its  softwood  production) 
reports  small  decreases  in  production, 
shipments,  and  new  business  for  last 
week  compared  with  the  preceding 
week. 

The  Northern  Pine  Manufacturers  As- 
sociation of  Minneapolis  reports  little, 
change  in  production,  a  decrease  in 
shipments  and  new  business.

Biltmore  Hotel,  Los  Angeles 

Announcement  is  made  of  the  affiliation  of  the  Western  Safety  Manufactur- 
ing Co.,  Inc.,  of  San  Francisco,  manufacturers  of  electrical  safety  switches,  with 
the  firm  of  Brown  and  Pengilly,  2114  East  Ninth  street,  Los  Angeles.  The  latter 
concern  manufactures  switch  and  panel  boards.  The  former  company  in  future 
will  manufacture  and  distribute  in  conjunction  with  the  Los  Angeles  firm  all 
switchboards  and  panels  in  the  northern  section  of  California. 


The  panels  and  switchboards  are  well  known 
on  the  Pacific  Coast  and  are  extensively  used  in 
the  Southern  California  section,  where,  company 
officials  point  out,  more  than  seventy-five  per 
cent  of  the  office  buildings,  theatres,  clubs  and 
hotels  erected  within  the  past  few  years  have 
been  equipped  with  the  Brown  and  Pengilly  in- 
stallations. 

Among  the  more  important  installations  re- 
cently completed  in  the  Southern  California  sec- 
tion is  the  Biltmore  Hotel  in  Los  Angeles.  Other 
large  installations  include  Grauman's  Metropolitan 
Theatre  In  Los  Angeles  and  another  in  Holly- 
wood. The  Pacific  Finance  Building,  the  Uni- 
versity Club,  Pacific  Mutual  Building  and  other 


■^^^^^^ 


notable  structures  have  been  equipped  with  the 
Brown  and  Pengilly  switch  and  panel  boards. 

The  materials  used  in  the  manufacture  of  the 
boards  are  of  the  highest  quality.  G.  E.  Toggle 
switches  and  Johns-Manville  Ebony  boards  are 
used  in  the  manufacture.  The  products  are  in- 
spected and  apDroved  by  the  National  Board  of 
Fire  Underwriters  and  meet  with  the  approval  of 
all  local  departments. 

Catalogs,  prices  and  samples  of  main  switch 
boards,  electric  panel  boards,  safety  switches  or 
special  gutter  for  the  installation  of  wires  or  ap- 
pliances will  be  furnished  on  request  to  the  office

PRODUCTIOIV      OF      LUMBER,      LATH, 
AND    SHINGLES  IN   1923 


The  Department  of  Commerce  an- 
nounces that  according'  to  the  data  col- 
lected by  the  Bureau  of  the  Census  in 
co-operation  with  the  Forest  Service, 
Department  of  Agriculture,  the  pro- 
duction of  lumber,  lath,  and  shingles 
in  the  United  States  during  1923  was  as 
follows:  Lumber,  37,165,540  thousand 
feet  B.  M.,  an  increase  of  17.7  per  cent 
as  compared  with  1922;  lath,  3,328,013 
thousands,  an  increase  of  13.2  per  cent; 
shingles.  7,506,869  thousands,  a  decrease 
of  7.7  per  cent. 

The  lumber  cut  for  1923  in  the  West 
Coast  States  was  the  largest  ever  re- 
ported, and  the  total  output  for  the 
United  States  was  the  largest  since 
1916. 

The  two  predominating  woods  were 
southern  yellow  pine,  which  contributed 
34.8  per  cent  of  the  total  production  re- 
ported for  the  year,  and  Douglas  fir, 
which  controbuled  22.1  per  cent,  their 
nearest  competitor  being  wegtern  yel- 
low pine,  with  7.5  per  cent.  With  the 
f.xception  of  cypress,  the  cut  of  which 
decreased  5.7  per  cent,  all  the  principal 
species  showed  increases  for  1923  as 
compared  with  the  preceding  year. 

Stocks  of  lumber  on  hand  at  the  mills 
January  1,  1923,  was  reported  as  9,749,- 
769  thousand  feet,  and  December  31, 
]li23,  .it  10,548.087  thousand  feet. 


R.  M.  Morton,  California  state  high- 
way engineer,  in  addressing  the  Con- 
tractors' Association  of  Northern  Cali- 
fornia, convening  in  San  Francisco  re- 
cently,  declared: 

"Tlie  California  Highway  Commission 
needs  the  contractor.  It  does  not  favor 
day   labor   methods   of  construction. 

"The  contractor  has  an  essential 
place  in  our  modern,  complex  civiliza- 
tion," Morton  declared  in  discussing 
the  attitude  and  policies  of  the  state 
highway  department  toward  the  con- 
tractors' part  in  the  building  of  the 
state  highway  system."  Continuing 
Morton  said: 

"We  endeavor  to  limit  day  labor 
methods  to  emergency  work,  to  work 
not  susceptible  of  practical  presentation 
for  bids,  and  to  cases  where  bids  are 
considered  higher  than  the  cost  of  the 
work  when  done  by  our  own  forces. 

"Where  one  day  labor  highway  Job 
has  been  done  at  less  than  the  pre- 
liminary cost,  many  more  have  re- 
quired additional  allotments  of  funds 
to  complete.  We  are  fully  aware  of 
this  situation  and  it  is  our  policy  to 
undertake  no  work  by  day  labor  unless 
there  are  adequate  and  convincing 
reasons  why  this  is  the  most  practical 
way  to   perform   it. 

"The  gamble  of  pitting  human  skill 
and  money  against  handicaps  placed  by 
nature  and  created  by  man  is  what 
impels  men  to  the  contracting  business. 
The  contractor  must  be  able  to  foresee 
the  difflculties  to  be  encountered  and 
take  them  into  account  when  making 
his  bid  which  must  be  sufficiently  high 
to  permit  completion  of  the  work  in 
accordance  with  the  specifications. 
Much  public  money  is  wasted  by  un- 
skilled and  underpaid  contractors. 

"If  the  matter  of  profit  means  skimp- 
ing on  the  work,  and  can  be  obtained  in 
no  other  way,  the  sincere  contractor 
will  go  out  of  business.  Fair  dealing 
with  the  contractor  in  the  spirit  of  co- 
operation that  he  may  do  honest  work 
for  a  reasonable  profit  is  the  instruc- 
tion to  employes  of  the  highway  com- 
mission. We  "want  competent  contrac- 
tors who  are  able  and  willing  to  com- 
plete projects  in  a  manner  mutually 
benefitial  to  both  parties.  We  are 
anxious  to  do  our  part  in  bringing  this 
about. 

"The  practice  of  bonding  companies 
in  furnishing  bonds  to  incompetent  con- 
tractors is  beyond  understanding.  En- 
gineers and  the  general  public  will  not 
oppose  a  standardization  of  require- 
ments of  responsibility  for  contractors 
if  bonding  companies  would  take  such 
a  step.  The  best  bond  for  the  state  is 
to  sign  a  contract  with  a  man  whose 
personal  Tvord  and  signed  name  are  as 
good  as  his  bond." 


V.  S.  STEEL  ORDERS  SHOW  GAIN  OF 
506,299  TONS 


Unfilled  tonnage  of  the  United  States 
Steel  Corporation  increased  506,699 
tons  between  October  31  and  November 
30,  according  to  the  monthly  report 
of   that   corporatio.i. 

Fonvard  orders  on  the  books  of  the 
corporation  on  November  30,  amounted 
to  4.031,969  tons,  against  3,525,270  on 
October  31,  and  3,473,7S0  on  September 
30,  1924.  On  November  30  of  last  year 
unfilled  tonnage  amounted  to  4,368,584. 

The  gain  of  506,299  tons  i.i  unfilled 
orders  was  the  largest  reported  since 
September  of  1922,  when  an  increase 
of  more  than  600,000  tons  was  reported 
over  those  of  the   preceding   months. 


STATISTICAN     PREDICTS     PROSPER- 
ITY  FOR    19SS 

In  a  recent  address  delivered  at 
Cleveland,  Roger  W.  Babson,  business 
statisticians  and  practicing  economist, 
predicted  that  business  conditions 
would  be  more  favorable  in  1925  than 
they  were  in  1924.  With  regard  to 
commodity  prices,  he  stated  that  the 
general  movement  during  the  next  few 
years  would  be  downward,  but  the 
immediate  movement  in  1925  would  be 
upward.  In  the  opinion  of  Babson, 
this  condition  will  also  prevail  In  the 
money  market. 

"There  must  be  a  readjustment  of 
wages."  said  Babson.  "This  is  rapidly 
coming  about  in  the  textile  Industry  of 
New  England.  The  employers  are  de- 
manding a  15  per  cent  reduction  in 
wages  and  in  many  instances  a  10 
per  cent  decrease  has  been  put  into 
operation."  He  predicted  that  the 
wage  earner  will  do  more  work  for 
the  dollar  next  year  than  he  has  been 
doing  and  that  as  a  result  of  the  re- 
cent election  labor  will  be  slower  in 
making  demands   for  higher  wages. 

With  regard  to  the  building  industry. 
Babson  stated  that  only  two  lines  of 
business  showed  an  excess  in  1924  over 
1923 — namely,  construction  and  ex- 
porting. The  total  volume  of  construc- 
tion business  so  far  this  year  for  the 
entire  country  exceeds  that  of  the 
same  period  last  year  by  6  per  cent. 
Most  cities  are  overbuilt  as  far  as  ofllce 
space  and  high  grade  apartment  build- 
ing.s  are  concerned,  hut  there  will  be 
a  big  increase  in  the  demand  for  single 
family  dwellings  and  moderately 
priced  apartments  In  1925,  according 
to   Babson. 


tJ.    S.    BUREAU    OP    ROADS    FAVORS 
"STAGE-CONSTRUCnON"  PLAN 


"Stage-construction"  or  progressive 
road  construction  as  It  is  generally 
called  in  this  state,  where  it  has  bee.i 
practiced  effectively  by  the  present 
California  Highway  Commission,  has 
been  strongly  endorsed  by  the  IT.  S. 
Bureau  of  Public  Roads,  according  to 
A.  E.  Loder,  manager  of  the  good 
roads  bureau  of  the  California  Auto- 
mobile Association. 

Loder  says  that  the  Federal  road  bu- 
reau has  gone  on  record  as  recom- 
mending that  this  plan,  which  has  beeia 
advocated  by  the  Automobile  Associa- 
tion and  which  was  put  Into  practice 
in  California  in  the  last  two  years, 
be  applied  where  practical  to  the  Fed- 
eral aid  system.  The  plan  has  been 
under  investigation  by  Federal  high- 
way  engineers  for  a  '.lumber  of  years. 

Under  the  progressive  construction 
plan  as  outlined  by  Loder  yesterday 
a  road  Is  first  graded  and  placed  un 
der  traffic  with  a  gravel  or  stone  sur- 
face for  two  years  or  more  before  plac- 
ing final  pavement.  Then,  when  the 
pavement  is  laid  it  ca.i  be  designed  to 
meet  the  traffic  conditions  which  may 
have  developed  since  the  first  im- 
provement of  the  road.  It  has  been 
found  that  gravel  or  crushed  stone 
surfacing,  after  receiving  a  few  years 
traffic,  makes  an  ideal  sub-base  for 
a    hard    surface. 

This  is  the  plan  used  by  the  high- 
way commission  in  the  improvement  of 
the  Pacific  highway  through  the  Sac- 
ramento River  Canyon  and  In  the 
construction  of  the  Skyline  boulevard 
south   of  San  Francisco,  Loder  said.

=^====  ALONG  THE  LINE 


THE  OBSERVER 

WHAT  HE  HEARS  AND  SEES  ON  HIS  ROUNDS 


Henry  C.  Reynolds,  attorney,  repre- 
senting the  Thirteenth  Avenue  Im- 
provement Club,  at  a  recent  meeting 
of  the  Oakland  city  council,  declared  a 
"street  paving  combine"  is  attempting 
to  throttle  competition  in  the  East  Bay 
section.  The  charge  came  as  a  sequel 
to  a  protest  made  by  the  club  that  the 
paving  in  Thirteenth  avenue  between 
E-Fourteenth  and  B-Thirty-eighth  St. 
had  not  been  done  according  to  speci- 
fications. According  to  Reynolds,  the 
AVarren  Construction  Company,  con- 
tractors for  the  work,  agreed  Xo  lay  a 
concrete  base  five  inches  thick,  but,  it 
is  said,  has  not  done  so.  In  many  places, 
the  attorney  declares,  the  company  sub- 
stituted a  three-inch  base.  It  is  also 
charged  that  the  contractors  provided 
only  a  one-inch  topping  where  the 
specifications  called  for  one  and  one- 
half  inch.  Reynolds  also  declares  that 
local  quarrymen  are  being  discriminat- 
ed against  in  the  purchase  of  rock  for 
local  work. 


Dissolution  of  the  Cement  Securities 
Company,  a  western  corporation  with 
subsidiaries  in  several  states,  was 
ordered  in  federal  court  at  Denver, 
Colo.,  Dec.  13,  by  Judge  Kennedy,  who 
declared  the  corporation  was  a  com- 
bination in  restraint  of  trade.  The 
court  declared  the  following  companies, 
subsidiaries  of  the  cement  securities, 
were  interlocked  in  violation  of  the 
Sherman  anti-trust  law:  Colorado 
Portland  Cement  Co.,  Union  Portland 
Cement  Co.,  the  Three  Forks,  United 
States  and  the  Nebraska  Portland  Ce- 
ment  Companies. 


The  certificate  of  the  e.xtcnsion  of 
the  corporate  existence  of  the  Santa 
Cruz  Lime  Company  has  been  filed  with 
the  county  clerk  at  Santa  Cruz.  The 
company  has  been  in  existence  since 
December  12,  1874,  and  the  capital 
stock  fixed  by  the  articles  of  incorpora- 
tion was  $500,000.  It  was  voted,  at  a 
recent  meeting  of  the  company  in 
San  Francisco,  to  extend  the  corpora- 
tion rights  another  50  years.  Of  the 
capital  stock,  362  shares  at  $1000  a 
share  is  held  by  the  Santa  Cruz  Port- 
land Cement  Company  and  69  shares 
by  Bertha  Coope. 


Damages  of  $25,400  for  injuries  he 
sustained  in  an  automobile  collision  at 
Barrett  Ave.  and  Twenty-third  St., 
Richmond,  on  Julj'  26,  are  asked  of  the 
Stege  Lumber  &  Hardware  Company 
and  Carter  H.  Johnston,  its  president, 
by  Howard  A.  Burton.  Richmond  con- 
tractor, in  suit  he  filed  at  Martinez. 
Burton  alleges  that  Johnston's  negli- 
gent operations  of  an  automobile  owned 
by  the  company  caused  it  to  crash  into 
his  machine,  the  "^^Mndshield  of  which 
was  shattered,  cutting  him  severely  on 
the  left  forearm.  The  injury,  Burton 
avers,  severed  muscles  in  his  arm  and 
has  caused  him  to  lo=e  the  use  of  hi.s 
thumb  and  fingers.  He  asUed  damages 
of  $25,000  and  remuneration  for  $400  ht. 
spent   in   medical   services. 


A.  M.  Castle  &  Co.  of  which  W.  B. 
Simpson  of  Chicago,  is  president,  has 
taken  over  several  steel  plants  on  the 
Pacific  Coast,  including  the  Little  & 
Robertson  Company  plant  at  Thirty- 
seventh  and  Alameda  Sts.,  Los  Angeles. 
It  is  proposed  to  double  the  capacity  of 
the  southern   city  plant. 


Frank  H.  Lambert,  superintendent  of 
the  McCloud  River  Lumber  Company, 
at  Redding.  Cal.,  for  the  past  four 
years,  died  in  that  city  Dec.  12. 


As  a  result  of  the  differences  between 
the  San  Francisco  Labor  Council  a.nd 
the  Industrial  Association  of  San  Fran- 
cisco particularly  as  concerns  the  con- 
troversy existing  between  employers 
and  the  Holders'  Union,  George  S. 
Hollis.  president  of  the  labor  organiza- 
tion, has  issued  an  open  letter  calling 
for  fair  play  in  industrial  disputes. 
The  letter  is  directed  to  the  Industrial 
Association  of  San  Francisco,  and  de- 
plores methods  resorted  to  by  employ- 
ers. The  communication  protests 
against  the  Industrial  Association  for- 
mulating rules  of  its  own  in  adjusting 
differences  between  employer  and  em- 
ploye. In  its  appeal  the  Labor  Council 
declares  that  only  through  fair  play 
will  the  industrial  welfare  and  commer- 
cial growth  of  the  community  be  as- 
sured. 


"Elimination  of  irresponsibles,"  with 
the  object  of  barring  from  public  work 
all  contractors  who  default  on  their 
bids,  was  undertaken  as  a  statewide 
campaign  by  the  annual  convention  of 
the  Contractors'  Association  of  North- 
ern California,  which  recently  closed 
its  annual  meeting  in  San  Francisco. 
Henry  J.  Kaiser  of  Oakland,  president 
of  the  organization,  presented  the  plans 
to  the  150  delegates.  In  his  annual  re- 
port. Kaiser  urged  the  formation  of  a 
board  of  review  to  pass  on  all  bids  and 
bidders,  adding  that  he  had  secured  the 
backing  of  executives  of  surety  cora- 
paanies   for   this   scheme. 


E.  W.  Boschke,  chief  engineer  for 
the  Southern  Pacific  Company,  denies 
that  the  company  has  let  a  contract  to 
the  Utah  Construction  Company  of  San 
Francisco  for  building  twenty-two 
miles  of  line  between  Dietz,  north  of 
AVeed  on  the  Shasta  route,  and  Grass 
Lake,  on  the  Weed-Klamath  Falls 
branch,  as  rumored  at  Klamath  Falls. 
Ore.  The  Klamath  Falls  report  said 
information  of  the  signing  of  the  con- 
tract had  been  received  by  members 
of  the  chamber  of  commerce  there. 


Consolidation  of  the  Bend  Brick  Co., 
near  Bend,  Ore.,  and  the  Central  Ore- 
gon Brick  Co.,  at  Prineville  Junction, 
.Ore.,'  is  announced.  The  new  company 
to  be  known  as  the  Central  Oregon 
Brick  Company,  is  owned  by  W.  A. 
Currie,  who  was  sole  owner  of  the 
Bend  Brick  Company,  and  E.  A.  Fri- 
berg  and  Gottfried  Olsen,  owners  of 
the  Central  Oregon  Brick  Company.  The 
capacity  of  the  plants,  when  proposed 
improvements  are  carried  out  n'^xt 
-spring,  will  be  6,000,000  brick  annually. 


Increased  demands  for  materials 
from  the  wholesale  trade  has  caused 
the  Fresno  Branch  of  the  Bass-Hueter 
Pai.Tt  Company  to  lease  a  two-story 
and  basement  brick  structure  at  734 
Fulton  Street,  Fresno.  The  entire 
structure  will  be  occupied  by  the  paint 
company  and  the  National  Lead  Com- 
pany, between  which  there  is  a  busi- 
ness affiliation. 


Gordon  Ellis,  forester  for  the  Mendo- 
cino Lumber  Company,  is  supervising 
the  reforesting  of  500  acres  of  cut-over 
land  in  the  neighborhood  of  Boyle's 
Camp,  Mendocino  County.  Hundreds  of 
trees  are  being  planted. 


Union  Electric  Company  of  Oakland

H.  Dunlap,  who  was  fatally  injured  in 
a  train  wreck  while  returning  East 
from  the  convention  held  in  Pasadena, 
Calif.,  last  June.  Mr,  Seabury  was 
graduated  from  Massachusetts  Institute 
of  Technology  in  1902,  and  his  first  en- 
gineering experience  was  with  the  Ne^r 
York  City  Board  of  Water  Supply. 
During  the  World  War  he  was  a  major 
in  the  construction  division  and  as  su- 
pervising quartermaster  he  wa.s  con- 
nected with  the  construction  of  Camps 
Devens,  Upton,  Mills,  Merritt,  Dix, 
Meade  and  Lee. 


W.  G.  Knox  has  resigned  as  city  en- 
gineer of  Santa  Ana  to  take  effect  Feb. 
1,  1925.  Nat  H.  Neff,  who  for  three 
years  has  been  division  engineer  of  the 
Orange  County  road  department,  has 
been  elected  to  succeed  him.  Knox 
will  engage  in  private  practice  of  en- 
gineering with  R.  L.  Loucks,  who  re- 
signed recently  as  assistant  city  engi- 
neer, under  the  firm  name  of  Knox  & 
Loucks.  They  will  specialize  in  sani- 
tary and  drainage  engineering  and  con- 
struction, and  will  later  extend  their 
activities  to  other  lines  of  engineering 
and  possibly  architecture.  Knox  has 
been  city  engineer  of  Santa  Ana  for  the 
last  three  years  and  had  supervision  of 
the  joint  outfall  sewer  system  built  by 
Santa  Ana,  Anaheim,  Orange  and  Full-

Labor  strikes  are  costly  to  the  whole 
community — not  merely  to  the  parti- 
cular industry  involved.  The  U.  S.  Bu- 
reau of  Labor  Statistics  reports  8.081 
strikes  in  the  United  St:ites  for  the 
eiKht  years,  l'.il6-1924.  with  an  esti- 
mated loss  in  dollars  and  cents  to  the 
workers,  employers  and  the  public  of 
over  $12,500,000,000.00.  This  is  equal 
to  two-thirds  of  all  the  savings  de- 
posits in  United  States  banks,  and  is 
more  than  one-half  of  the  whole  pub- 
lic debt  of  the  United  States,  including 
war  issues.  In  1923  there  were  over 
700  strikes  in  the  United  States,  with  a 
total  loss  of  $703,000,000.  Forty-six 
of  these  were  in  California,  but  only 
five  in  San  Francisco.  These  latter 
were  of  short  duration  and  all  result- 
ed in  the  establishment  of  the  Ameri- 
can Plan.  In  the  year  1921,  the  closed 
shop  prevailed  here  during  the  first 
eight  months  and  the  total  number  of 
strikes  fur  the  year  was  twenty-two, 
with  a  loss  to  the  public  of  $22,500,000. 
Then  came  the  American  Plan  and  in 
1922  the  strikes  here  had  been  reduced 
to  eleven,  with  a  total  l3SS  of  $5,375,- 
000.  In  1923  there  were  five  strikes 
here,  involving  a  total  loss  of  $2,490,000. 
In  1924  to  date  there  have  been  four 
strikes — all  small — involving  a  total 
loss    of   only    $68,000.

Labor,  held  on  November  26  at  El 
Paso,  Texas,  to  clean  up  details  of  the

with  the  Department,  failed  not  only 
to  present  the  matter  to  the  conven-

have  talked  with  officers  of  the  car- 
penters, and  I  believe  that  we  will 
settle  this  matter"  he  said.  "It  will

Builders'   Code   of   Ethics   Should 

Promote    Building    Construction 


(By  J.  Stewart  Fairweather) 

What,  in  my  belief,  Is  the  most  im- 
portant step  take.i  to  pronxote  the 
healthy  progress  of  the  building  In- 
dustry of  San  Francisco  since  the  ef- 
fectuation of  the  American  Plan,  Is  the 
adoption  of  a  Building  Industry  Code 
of  Ethics  for  San  Francisco  and  the 
Bay  region.  This  code,  which  was  pre- 
pared by  the  San  Francisco  Chapter  of 
the  American  Institute  of  Architects 
in  collaboration  with  the  Industrial 
Association  of  San  Francisco  and  the 
Bu>^lders'  Exchange,  and  which  has 
been  officially  ratified  by  these  three 
organizations,  will,  in  my  judgment, 
have  a  most  be.ieticial  effect  upon  the 
Industry  and  the  community.  It  will 
unquestionably  assure  the  public,  and 
the  building  public  in  particular,  a 
greater  degree  of  protection;  and  it 
will  perpetuate  the  excellent  condi- 
tions that  obtain  in  the  building  i.T- 
dustry  as  the  result  of  the  American 
rian.  In  fact,  its  importance  cannot  be 
over-estimated.  When  it  is  realized 
that  San  Francisco's  building  industry 
has  increased  more  tha.i  100  per  cent 
in  less  than  three  years.  It  will  be  ap- 
parent that  the  necessity  exists  for  a 
set  of  rules  to  govern  the  industry  for 
its  own  good  and  the  good  of  the  pub- 
lic. Through  the  absence  of  any  com- 
mon basis  of  understanding,  practices 
not  unlawful  or  immoral  in  themselves, 
but  definitely  injurious  to  the  indus- 
try, grow  up  and  secure  the  sanction 
afforded  by  custom  and  usage.  For- 
tunately, San  Francisco's  building  in- 
dustry has  been  remarkably  free  of 
such  evils.  To  insure  that  it  may  so 
continue,  we  have  adopted  this  Code  of 
Ethics,  the  more  important  provisions 
of  which  may  be  summarized  as  fol- 
lows: 

Forbids  collusion  in  preparation  of 
bids  by  contractors  and  sub-contract- 
ors, and  provides  such  collusion  shall 
be  just  cause   for  rejection  of  all  bids. 

Recommends  that  all  bids  be  opened 
in  public  at  a  set  time  and  place. 

Recommends    that    when    owner    has 


determined  to  build,  he  should  first 
dicide  whether  he  is  to  let  a  general 
contract.,  segregated  contract,  or  a 
percentage   contract. 

Provides  that  architects  and  owners 
shall  not  call  into  competition  contrac- 
tors or  sub-contractors,  to  whom  they 
are  unwilling  to  award  contract;  and 
further  provides  that  in  all  cases  the 
contract  shall  go  to  the  lowest  bidder. 
Also  that  the  general  contractor,  in 
case  of  sub-contracting,  shall  file  with 
the  owner  or  architect  the  list  of  sub- 
contractors whose  figures  he  has  used; 
and  if  he  is  awarded  the  job,  that  he 
shall  let  his  contracts  to  the  sub- 
contractors whose  figures  he  has  used, 
provided  such  sub-contractors  are  sat- 
isfactory to  the  architect. 

Recommends  that  owners  have  their 
architects  insert  American  Plan  In  all 
contracts,  and  see  that  the  same  is  en- 
forced. 

Provides  that  the  architect  shall  not 
invade  the  field  of  the  contractor;  and 
that  the  latter  shall  not  attempt  to 
perform  the  functions  of  the  architect. 

Provides  that  aa-chitect  shall  not 
attempt  to  evade  oversight  or  errors 
by  indefinite  clauses  In  contracts  or 
specifications;  and  that  he  shall  write 
into  his  specifications  clauses  provid- 
ing for  the  observance  of  all  building 
ordinances,  safety  and  sanitary  codes; 
and  that  the  contractor  shall  enforce 
the  same. 

Provides  that  the  contractor  shall 
never  improperly  Increase  the  cost  of 
work,  or  produce  work  inferior  to  that 
contracted  for;  and  that  he  shall  deal 
justly  with  labor  and  afford  appren- 
tices opportunity  to  learn  and  work  in 
the  building  trades. 

Provides  that  labor  shall  not  en- 
deavor improperly  to  increase  the  cost 
of  work,  or  produce  inferior  work. 
That  it  shall  not  attempt  to  restrict 
the  individual's  quantity  or  quality 
output;  and  should  co-operate  in  af- 
fording apprentices  opportunity  to 
learn  the  building  trades.

Preparing  for  an  era  of  prosperity 
in  the  East  Bay  region,  the  Cement 
Contracto'rs'  association  of  Alameda 
county  is  launched  on  the  second  half 
of  the  f^rst  year  of  its  existence  fol- 
luwing  a  semi-annual  meeting  and 
banquet.  Fred  Muller,  president,  pre- 
sided at  the  meeting.  Roy  Felton,  for 
14  years  sidewalk  inspector  for  the 
city  of  Oakland,  discussed  sidewalk 
and  street  conditions  and  urged  uni- 
form  construction    for   both. 


Thomas  Day  Co..  of  San  Francisco 
and  Oakland,  has  completed  arrange- 
ments to  handle  the  Oil-O-Matic  oil 
burner  in  this  territory.  The  sales  ar- 
rangement follows  a  several  years' 
search  on  the  part  of  the  Thomas  Day 
Company  for  an  automatic  heating  de- 
vice suitable  for  homes,  apartments 
and  business  buildings.  C.  U.  Williams 
&  Son,  Bloomington,  111.,  are  the  manu- 
facturers  of   the   Oil-O-Matic. 


"One  of  the  most  encouraging  pros- 
pects for  1925  is  that  labor  will  have 
a  full  dinner  pail"  writes  John  W. 
Hill  in  the  Iron  Trade  Review.  Con- 
tinuing he  says:  "Present  indications 
are  that  jobs  will  be  more  plentiful. 
Wages  may  be  expected  to  hold  steady 
and  in  some  lines  an  upward  tendency 
is  probable.  Two  facts  are  combining 
to  Iveep  wages  high  or  to  make  them 
higher.  One  is  the  rising  curve  of 
living  costs;  the  other  is  the  increas- 
ing (l'?mand  for  laljor  as  industrial  ac- 
tivity expands.  Factory  employment 
now  stands  at  more  than  6  per  cent 
above  the  summer's  lowest  point.  The 
cost  of  living  dollar  is  shrinking. 
Measured  by  pre-war  standards,  it  is 
now  worth  60  cents  against  63  cents 
in  June.  Living  costs  are  65  per  cent 
above  the  1914  base.  They  are  rising 
in  the  wake  of  advancing  wholesale 
prices.  On  December  1.  Dun's  index  of 
commodity  values  was  up  nearly  8  per 
cent   from   tlip  Juno   low  point."

STRONG   LUMBER  DEMAND 
CONTINUES 


Special     Correspondence 

Reports  of  the  lumber  movement  for 
the  week  ending  December  6  received 
by  the  National  Lumber  Manufacturers 
Association  from  383  of  the  larger  soft- 
wood commercial  sawmills  of  the 
country,  as  compared  with  the  revised 
reports  from  366  mills  for  the  preceding 
week,  indicate  a  continued  excess  of 
new  business  over  current  production. 
Production  and  shipments  show  an  In- 
crease over  the  preceding  week,  orders 
a  slight  decrease.  The  past  week,  in 
comparison  with  the  corresponding 
week  of  1923,  shows  a  materially  great- 
er volume  of  new  business  and  ship- 
ments but  a  smaller  volume  of  produc- 
tion. 

The  unfilled  orders  of  253  Southern 
Pile  and  West  Coast  mills  were  651,899,- 
043  feet,  as  against  635,700,759  feet  for 
261  mills  the  week  before.  Separately, 
the  Southern  Pine  group,  133  mills,  re- 
ported unfilled  orders  as  250,699,507 
feet,  compared  with  262,342,894  feet  for 
the  same  number  of  mills  the  previous 
week-,  120  We.st  Coast  mills  had  unfilled 
orders  amounting  to  401,229,536  feet,  as 
against  373,357,865  feet  for  118  mills  a 
week  earlier. 

Altogether  the  383  comparably  re- 
porting mills  had  shipments  109  per 
cent  and  orders  118  per  cent  of  actual 
production.  For  the  Southern  Pine  mills 
these  percentages  were  respectively 
112  and  96;  and  for  the  West  Coast 
mills  98  and  117. 

Of  the  comparably  reporting  mills, 
357  (having  a  normal  production  for 
the  week  of  218,662,411  feet)  reporting 
production  98  per  cent  of  normal,  ship- 
ments 105  per  cent,  and  orders  112  per 
cent  thereof. 

The  mills  of  the  California  White  & 
Sugar  Pine  Association  make  weekly 
reports,  but  for  a  considerable  period 
they  were  not  comparable  in  respect 
to  orders  with  those  of  other  mills. 
Consequently,  the  former  are  not  rep- 
resented in  any  of  the  foregoing  fig- 
ures. Twelve  of  these  mills  reported 
a  cut  of  5,761,000  feet  last  week,  ship- 
ni?nts  9,478,000  feet,  and  orders  12,- 
101.000.  The  reported  cut  represents  30 
per  cent  of  the  total  of  the  California 
Pine  region. 

Th"  West  Coast  Lumbermen's  Asso- 
ciation wires  from  Seattle  that  new 
business  for  the  120  mills  reporting  for 
the  wt«k  ending  December  6  was  16 
per  cent  above  production  and  17  per 
cent  above  shipments.  Of  all  new  busi- 
ness taken  during  the  week,  40  per  cent 
was  for  future  water  delivery,  amount- 
ing to  48,962,906  feet,  of  which  36,117,- 
412  feet  was  for  domestic  cargo  de- 
livery, and  12,845,494  feet  export.  New 
business  by  rail  amounted  to  2268  cars. 
Forty-flve  per  cent  of  the  week's  lum- 
ber shipments  moved  by  water,  amount- 
ing to  45,503,903  feet,  of  which  33,222,- 
914  feet  mover  coastwise  and  inter- 
coastal,  and  12,280,989  feet  overseas. 
Rail  shipments  totaled  1736  cars  and 
local  deliveries  were  4,461,538  feet.  Un- 
filled domestic  cargo  orders  totaled 
160,352,598  feet;  unfilled  export  orders 
95,406,938  feet;  unfilled  rail  trade  or- 
ders 4849  cars. 

The  California  Redwood  Association 
of  San  Francisco  reports  a  slight  in- 
crease in  production,  a  small  drop  in 
shipment,  and  a  slight  decrease  in  new 
business  last  week  as  compared  with 
the  week  before. 

The  Western  Pine  Manufacturers  As- 
sociation, of  Portland,  Oregon,  reports 
production  short  last  week  compared 
with  a  week  earlier,  a  good  gain  in 
shipments,  and  a  decline  in  new  busi- 
ness. Compared  with  the  preceding 
week  35  identical  mills  show  a  de- 
crease in  orders  (new  business)  of  14 
per  cent,  an  increase  in  shipments  of 
20  per  cent,  while  production  decreased 
17  per  cent.  New  business  remained  16 
per  cent  above  normal.  Ten  of  the  re- 
porting mills  not  sawing,  several  others 
show  a   decrease   in   production. 


Here,  There  and  Everywhere 


Correspondent' 


Delegates  attending  the  annual  con- 
vention of  the  Building  Trades  Depart- 
ment of  the  American  Federation  of 
Labor  at  El  Paso,  Texas,  elected  George 
F.  Hedrick  of  Lafayette,  Indiana,  in- 
ternational president  of  the  Brother- 
hood of  Painters,  Decorators  and  Pa- 
perhangers  of  America,  as  president, 
to  succeed  John  H.  Donlin.  W.  J.  Tra- 
cey,  Philadelphia,  a  member  of  the 
United  Association  of  Journeymen 
Plumbers  and  Steamfitters,  was  elect- 
ed secretary  of  the  department  to  suc- 
ceed William  J.  Spencer.  Agitators, 
who  are  responsible  for  unnecessary 
strikes,  were  attacked  by  President 
Donlin  at  the  opening  session  of  the 
convention.  He  declared  that  nine  out 
of  every  ten  strikes  in  the  construc- 
tion industry -could  be  avoided.  He  said 
"The  millions  of  dollars  lost  to  the 
workers  through  strikes,  inclement 
weather  and  seasonable  employment 
represents  irreplacable  loss.  The  sea- 
sonal occupation  we  might  eventually 
remedy,  the  inclement  weather  never, 
but  the  loss  due  to  strikes  can  be  re- 
duced  to   a   minimum,   and   should   be." 


Vice  President  of  the  McGraw-Hill 
Company,  tried  to  answer  for  the  em- 
ployers affiliated  with  the  New  York 
Building  Congress  at  a  recent  meeting. 
The  speaker  declared  that  the  spirit 
of  craftsmanship  had  departed,  and 
that  public  estimation  of  completed 
work  had  been  lowered.  He  urged  that 
workmen  be  encouraged  to  do  their 
best  and  that  employers  come  in  per- 
sonal contact  with  their  men.  He  sug- 
gested that  the  custom  of  posting  the 
names  of  bank  tellers  before  their 
cages  be  carried  into  the  building 
trades,  where  completed  buildings 
should  bear  tablets  giving  the  crafts- 
men's names.  The  speaker  called  atten- 
tion to  the  plan  now  in  use  in  Portland, 
Oregon,  where  a  "Guild  of  Building 
Handicrafts"   has   been   organized. 


Another  addition  to  the  rapidly  grow- 
ing list  of  labor  organizations  advo- 
cating the  five-day  week  is  the  car- 
penters. The  21st  general  convention 
of  the  United  Brotherhood  of  Carpen- 
ters and  Joiners  of  America  held  re- 
cently in  Indianapolis  adopted  the  fol- 
lowing resolution:  "Resolved  that  we 
recommend  to  all  District  Councils  un- 
der the  jurisdiction  of  this  United 
Brotherhood,  and  to  all  Local  Unions 
in  localities  where  more  than  one  Lo- 
cal Union,  but  no  District  Council 
exists,  that  five  (5)  days  shall  consti- 
tute a  week's  work,  and  that  one  day 
shall  be  set  aside  for  the  enjoyment 
of  self  with  home  and  family,  and  the 
other  day  for  the  uplifting  of  human- 
ity; and  be  it  further  Resolved  that  the 
general  convention  of  the  United 
Brotherhood  of  Carpenters  and  Join- 
ers of  America  do  all  in  its  power  to 
bring  about  the  establishment  of  a

"How  can  the  spirit  of  craftsman- 
ship be  revived  in  the  building  indus- 
try?"   was    the    question    E.    J.    Mehren, 


"More  than  11,000.000  of  our  people 
are  dependent  for  their  living  upon 
the  construction  industry,  and  22  per 
cent  of  all  the  skilled  and  unskilled 
labor  of  the  country  is  engaged  in  the 
building  branch  alone."  Secretary  of 
Labor,  Davis,  said  recently,  "Some  250,- 
000  freight  cars  are  required  to  han- 
dle the  materials.  Our  building  bill  Is 
$200  per  year  for  each  family  in  the 
United  States.  It  is  truly  the  chief  ba- 
rometer of  the  business  of  the  country. 
When  construction  gains,  prosperity  is 
with  us.  It  is  the  great  outstanding 
influence  for  good  or  bad  in  our  fi- 
nancial  progress." 


The  Joint  Conference  Board  in  Chi- 
cago, which  was  organized  July  8,  1913, 
and  which  has  not  functioned  since  the 
creation  of  the  Committee  to  Enforce 
the  Landis  Award,  was  re-organized 
on  October  10,  1924.  This  Board  consists 
of  16  members,  8  of  whom  represent 
the  Building  Construction  Employers 
Association  of  Chicago,  and  8  members 
of  the  Chicago  Building  Trades  Coun- 
cil. The  purpose  of  the  Board  is  to  set- 
tle jurisdictional  disputes  between  the 
trades  pending  a  final  decision  by  the 
National  Board  for  Jurisdictional 
Awards.  By  a  unanimous  vote  A.  E. 
Coleman,  president  of  the  National  As- 
sociation of  Building  Trades  Employ- 
ers and  of  the  Building  Construction 
Employers  Association  of  Chicago,  was 
chosen   as   president   of   the   Board. 


ASPHALTED    FELT-BASE    FLOOR 
COVF-INGS    IN    1923 

The  Department  of  Commerce  an- 
nounces that,  according  to  the  data 
collected  at  the  bienniel  census  of 
manufacturas,  1023,  the  establishments 
engaged  primarily  in  the  manufacture 
of  asphalted  felt-base  floor  coverings 
reported  a  total  output  valued  at  $25,- 
280,160,  an  increase  of  149.1  per  cent 
as  compared  with  1921,  the  last  pre- 
ceding census  year.  Of  this  total,  $b,- 
234,992  represents  piece  goods;  $18,- 
462,255,  rugs;  and  $588,913,  all  other 
products. 

of  the  9  establishments  reporting  for 
1923  5  were  located  in  New  Jersey 
and  1  each  in  Indiana,  Maine,  Massa- 
chusetts, and  Pennsylvania.  In  19^1 
the  industry  was  represented  by  10 
establishments,  the  decrease  to  9  m  IJii 
being  the  net  result  of  the  loss  of  - 
establishments  which  h.d  been  in- 
cluded for  1921  but  had  gone  out  of 
business  before  the  beginning  ot  J.'*'-/'' 
and  the  addition  of  1  new  establish- 
ment. 


LUMBER   COMPANY    SUES    FOR 
PLANT   INSURANCE 


The  Yorkshire  Insurance  Company 
Ltd.,  ot  England,  was  made  the  defen- 
dant in  a  suit  filed  in  superior  court  at 
Fresno  by  The  California  Credit  and 
Collection  Corporation  for  $50,000,  the 
amount  alleged  to  be  due  on  a  claim 
tor  insurance  loss. 

The  complaint  alleges  that  on  Aug- 
ust 30,  1923,  the  Mitchell  and  Virden 
Lumber  Company  made  a  contract  with 
the  insurance  corporation  for  a  $50,- 
000  policy  covering  its  mill  property, 
known  as  Duncan  Mills  and  that  sev- 
enteen days  later  the  plant  was  total- 
ly destroyed  by  fire  with  a  loss  in  ex- 
cess of  the  amount  of  the   policy. 

The  plaintiff,  as  assignee  of  the 
lumber  company  seeks  judgment  in 
the  amount  of  the  policy,  which  was 
never  delivered,  according  to  tha  claim 
made   in   the   complaint.

ASBBSTOS  PRODLCrs  IN  1»S3 


The  Department  of  Commerce  an- 
nounces that,  according  to  the  data 
collected  at  the  biennial  census  of 
manufactures,  ia23,  the  establishments 
engaged  primarily  in  the  manufacture 
of  asbestos  products  (not  including  as- 
bestos textile  producis)  reported  a 
total  output  valued  at  $12,270,205,  an 
increase  of  ioa.4  per  cent  as  compared 
with  :$5,858,87U  in  1921,  the  last  preced- 
ing census  year.  This  total  consisted 
of  building  materials  to  the  value  of 
$8,252,110,  mats  and  pads  valued  at 
$427,452,  and  other  products  (asbestos 
packing  and  insulating  materials,  flags 
and  pennants,  blackboard  erasers,  pin- 
cushions, paper,  household  specialties, 
etc.)   valued  at  $3,590,643. 

Of  the  26  establishments  reporting 
for  1923,  6  were  located  in  Illinois,  4 
each  in  New  Hampshire  and  New  York, 
3  in  Ohio,  and  the  remaining  9  in  7 
other  States. 


•  CONSTRUCTION    COSTS    UNCHANGED 


During  four  consecutive  months 
there  has  been  no  change  in  construc- 
tion costs  according  to  the  American 
Contractor.  "It  is  true,"  states  this 
publication,  "that  there  lias  been  some 
minor  fluctuations  in  various  material 
prices,  but  there  has  been  a  balance 
between  the  "ups"  and  "downs"  that 
makes  the  weighted  average  stand  at 
87.35  per  cent  of  the  5  year  average. 
This  same  condition  is  true  as  regards 
labor  costs  and  the  weighted  wage 
rate  is  118  per  cent  of  the  5  year 
average." 

The  Engineering  News-Record,  New 
York,  finds  that  general  construction 
costs  are  4  per  cent  lower  than  a  year 
ago  and  24  per  cent  under  the  peak  of 
June,    1920. 


California  has  every  mineral  sub- 
stance required  in  the  structural  and 
building  mate'rial  industry  in  com- 
mercial quantities,  according  to  a  re- 
cent survey  of  reports  of  the  state 
mining  bureau,  made  by  the  depart- 
ment of  mines  and  mining  of  the  Sac- 
ramento   Chamber    of    Commerce. 

California  has  also  practically  every 
mineral  used  in  industry,  in  sufficient 
iiuantities  to  keep  millions  of  work- 
ers  busy   in   manufacturing  plants. 

Investigation  by  the  Sacramento  or- 
ganization has  disclosed  that  tiie  non- 
utilization  of  California  structural 
minerals  is  largely  due  to  the  fact  that 
the  producers  of  tlicse  minerals  have 
failed  to  standardize  their  industry. 
When  asked,  California  architects  said 
they  would  be  more  than  willing  to 
specify  California  structural  minerals, 
but  that  they  had  no  standardized 
schedules  to  go  by. 

"We  liave  no  means  of  ascertaining 
standard  prices  or  even  standard  sizes 
of  many  California  building  minerals," 
said  one  architect.  "We  have  no  means 
of  knowing,  if  we  do  specify  a  Cali- 
fornia granite  or  marble  or  sandstone 
or  slate,  that  the  producers  are  in  a 
position  to  deliver  it  on  schedule  or  in 
the  sizes  rectuired.  We  have  right  on 
our  desks  standardized  catalogues  of 
these  minerals  from  eastern  and  for- 
eign producers.  We  linow  if  we  specify 
a  certain  mineral  from  these  producers 
it  will  be  delivered  as  per  schedule.  It 
is  vital  that  the  structural  produc- 
ers of  California  realize  this,  and  at 
once  take  steps  to  standardize  their 
industry,  just  as  their  eastern  competi- 
tors have  done." 

California  structural  minerals  and 
products  include  asphalt,  bituminous 
rock,  brick  and  tile,  cement,  chromite, 
granite,  lime,  magnesite,  marble,  onyx, 
pottery,  sandstone,  serpentine,  slate, 
terra  cotta,  travertine  and  miscellane- 
ous stone,  such  as  paving  blocks, 
grinding  pebbles,  crushed  rock  and 
sand.  In  addition,  recently  it  has  been 
found  that  the  white  "bull"  quartz 
of  the  Mother  Lode,  which  contains 
no  gold  values,  is  excellent  for  stucco 
work.  Jaspar,  mariposite,  and  differ- 
ent colored  quartz  are  also  ground  up 
for  patent  roofing.  In  addition,  Cali- 
t'ornia     contains    unlimited    quantities 


of  ochre,  oxides,  cobalt  compounds  and 
other  minerals  used  in  paint  manufac- 
ture. 

In  issuing  a  call  for  a  conference  at 
the  Sacramento  Industrial  Show,  Janu- 
ary 26,  F.  W.  Eunyan,  chairman  of 
tlie   minerals   committee,   says: 

"For  several  months  we  have  been 
giving  serious  consideration  to  the  ex- 
cessive amount  that  California  pays 
annually,  not  merely  to  the  eastern 
states,  but  in  no  small  part  fur  foreign 
imported  material,  that,  with  proper 
care  and  nursing,  might  well  be  kept 
at  home  to  build  up  our  own  native  in- 
dustries such  as  marble,  granite,  sand- 
stone, slate,  glass  and  pottery,  the  raw 
materials  for  such  are  readily  obtain- 
able in  the  state  quantity.  In  other 
words,  build  up  our  structural  minerals 
industries. 

"Think  of  importing  raarblo  from 
Vermont  or  even  from  Italy,  when 
we  have  the  equal  in  the  state;  simi- 
larly with  glass.  We  might  as  well  im- 
port peaches  or  raisins  as  marble — It 
would   be   equally  logical. 

"We  liave  quarries  of  the  finest  mar- 
ble in  Tuolumne  county,  and  undevel- 
oped deposits  in  Amador  and  Calaveras 
counties." 

The  Sacramento  board  of  education 
has  been  formally  petitioned  by  the 
department  to  establish  a  two-year 
course  in  the  Sacramento  Junior  Col- 
lege to  enable  scores  of  young  men  in 
the  adjacent  raining  counties  to  gain  a 
mining  training. 

Tlie  department  points  out  that  Sac- 
ramento is  admirably  situated  for  min- 
ing instruction,  owing  to  its  nearness 
to  the  big  operating  gold  mines  of  the 
Mother  Lode,  the  gold  dredgers  at  Na- 
tomas  and  Hamilton,  the  marble  quar- 
ries in  Tuolumne  county,  the  clay  pits 
and  pottery  at  Lincoln,  the  hydraulic 
mining  at  Volcano  in  Amador  county, 
gravel  mining  at  Angels  Camp  and 
Springfield,  cobalt  mining  at  Sheep 
ranch,  copper  mining  and  smelting  at 
Copperropolis  and  Kennett,  iron  and 
zinc  mining  in  Shasta  county,  oil  re- 
fineries in  Contra  Costa  county  and 
cement  works  in  Solano  county.  Field 
trips  can  be  made  easily  during  the 
week  ends  to  these  mines,  and  they 
will  also  provide  ample  vacation  work 
for  the  students. 


PAVING      BRICK       PRODUCTION       IN 
OCTOBER 


LUaiBER     CONSERVATION 


Capilano  Timber  Company  will  con- 
struct a  new  export  mill  at  Vancouver, 
B.  C,  the  first  unit  to  cost  $400,000 
with  an  ultimate  expenditure  of  1,000,- 
000. 


Paving  brick  production  for  the 
month  of  October,  1924,  shows  an  in- 
crease over  the  month  of  September  of 
close  to  half  a  million  brick,  according 
to  the  monthly  statistical  report  sub- 
mitted to  the  United  States  Department 
of  Commerce  by  the  National  Paving 
Brick  Manufacturers'  Association. 
Shipments  for  October  were  29,142,000, 
as  against  31,563,000  for  September. 
This  was  a  smaller  falling  off  than 
would  naturally  be  expected  at  this 
time  of  the  year  when  the  seasonal 
nature  of  pavement  construction  is 
taken  into  consideration.-  Unfilled 
orders  for  October  were  59,496,000,  as 
against  74,089,000  for  the  last  day  of 
September.  Stock  on  hand  the  last  day 
of  October  was  73,604,000,  showing  a 
reduction  of  stock  in  the  last  montli  of 
more  than  13,000,000  brick.  The  fore- 
going figures  cover  reports  of  20  com; 
panics  representing  59  per  cent  of  tlie 
tonnage  capacity  of  the  industry.  These 
companies  reported  production  at  91 
per  cent  of  their  liormal  monthly  ton- 
nage capacity. 


One  of  the  big  problems  confronting 
the  construction  industry  is  the  rapi- 
dity with  which  lumber  is  being  con- 
sumed and  the  lack  of  interest  in  the 
matter  of  reforestation.  In  an  address 
before  the  leading  lumbermen  of  the 
United  States  and  Canada,  President 
Coolidge  recently  had  the  following  to 
say:  "The  era  of  free  wild  timber  is 
reaching  its  end,  as  the  era  of  free 
wild  food  ended  so  long  ago.  No 
longer  can  you  depend  on  moving  from 
one  primeval  forest  to  another.  The 
sound  of  the  axe  has  penetrated  al- 
ready to  the  last  of  them.  This  nation 
has  now  left  about  745,000,000,000 
cubic  feet  of  timber;  the  annual 
drain  upon  it  is  25,000,000,000  cubic 
feet.  Onr  forest  problem  is  a  land 
problem  of  the  first  magnitude."  It 
has  been  estimated  that  approximately 
60  per  cent  of  the  entire  original  sup- 
ply of  American  timber  has  been  ex- 
hausted to  date.  Every  year  America 
is  consuming  more  than  four  times  the 
amount  of  the  annual  new  growth  of 
available  timber.

TRADE  NOTES 


Effective  January  1,  an  important 
eonsolidation  will  take  place  in  the 
building  materials  field  as  the  result 
of  the  purchase  by  Gunn,  Carle  &  Co. 
of  the  business  of  the  Pacific  Mater- 
ials Co.  However,  the  two  corporations 
will  continue  to  function,  the  business  of 
the  latter  company  remaining  under 
the  management  of  O.  P.  Shelley,  who 
retains  his  interest  in  the  business  and 
the  vice-presidency  of  the  corporation. 
The  offices  of  the  Pacific  Materials 
Co.  at  525  Marl<et  Street  will  be  closed 
and  consolidated  with  the  Gunn,  Carle 
&  Co.  offices  in  the  Board  of  Trade 
Building,  444  Market  Street,  San  Fran- 
cisco. Similarly,  the  Bluxome  Street 
warehouse  of  Pacific  Materials  Co.  will 
be  discontinued  and  stocks  transferred 
to  Gunn,  Carle  &  Co.  warehouse  at 
10th  and  Bryant  Streets,  San  Fran- 
cisco, whose  capacity  is  being  doubled 
to  accommodate  this  expansion.  Since 
succeeding  to  the  business  of  Woods 
&  Huddart,  which  was  established  in 
November,  1909,  Gunn,  Carle  &  Co. 
have  specialized  in  fabrication  and  in- 
stallation of  steel  bars  and  in  handling 
pig  iron,  coke  and  ferro-alloys  and 
have  represented  the  manufacturers 
of  heavy  duty  industrial  truclcs  and 
other  lines.  With  the  lines  represented 
by  Pacific  Materials  Co.  which  was  in- 
corporated in  1914  as  a  consolidation 
of  The  Lilley  &  Thurston  Co.,  organ- 
ized in  1903,  and  the  Waterliouse  & 
Price  Co.,  founded  in  1906,  handling 
a  wide  line  of  builders'  specialties,  the 
affiliated  corporations  will  be  in  posi- 
tion to  supply  most  of  the  building 
contractors'   requirements. 


"Plastite"  is  the  name  of  a  new  ce- 
ment just  placed  on  the  market  by 
Riverside  Portland  Cement  Company. 
Investigations  have  been  carried  on 
for  several  years  by  the  company  to  de- 
velop some  new  product  that  would 
meet  demands  of  the  construction  in- 
dustry. With  the  high  grade  cement 
which  it  has  for  years  been  producing 
it  is  possible  to  secure  an  impermeable 
concrete  by  accurately  gauged  and  ex- 
actly proportioned  mixture,  but  tliis  is 
not  always  possible  under  field  condi- 
tions. In  "Plastite"  it  is  claimed  the 
Riverside  company  has  developed  by  a 
special  manufacturing  process  a  pro- 
duct which  is  inherently  waterproof 
and  will,  under  ordinary  field  condi- 
tions, make  an  impermeable  stucco  or 
concrete.  This  new  cement,  it  is  said, 
mixes  easily  and  there  is  no  tendency 
of  the  aggregate  to  separate.  As  a  re- 
sult, it  is  said  mixtures  made  with 
"Plastite"  flow  easily  under  the  trowel 
and  in  forms,  which  is  not  only  to  the 
advantage  of  the  contractor,  by  saving 
time  and  labor,  but  also  produces  a 
denser  and  stronger  stucco  or  concrete. 
While  disavowing  any  extravagant 
claims  for  the  new  product  the  River- 
side company  offers  it  with  an  assur- 
ance that  it  will  be  found  dependable 
for  workability,  effective  waterproof- 
ing,  strength   and  durability. 


The  entire  stock  in  a  company  to  be 
formed  at  Eugene,  Ore.,  for  the  manu- 
facture of  pottery  and  floor  tiling  has 
been  subscribed  and  J.  L.  Hoffman,  en- 
gaged in  that  industry  at  Richmond, 
Cal.,  will  shortly  arrive  in  Eugene  to 
begin  operation  of  the  plant,  according 
to  an  announcement  of  the  Eugene 
Chamber  of  Commerce.  An  option  has 
been  taken  on  a  tract  where  there  is  a 
bed  of  clay  which  Hoffman  has  pro- 
nounced ideal  for  pottery  and  tile 
manufacture  and  where  brick  and  drain 
tile  have  been  made  for  many  years.

able at  the  present  time  in  order  that 
the  interests  of  the  corporation  may 
be  protected  until  such  a  time  as  a 
definite  site  is  decided  upon.  The  the- 
atre is  designed  to  follow  the  lines  of 
Moorish-Assyrian  architecture,  and  ac- 
ooramodate  5000  spectators.

lIHiHW.W  COMMISSION  PLAYS 

S.\>TA       CL.\US       FOR       CONVICT 

DEPENDENTS 


The  California  Highway  Commission 
joined  forces  with  Santa  Claus  in 
spreading-  a  little  Christmas  cheer 
about  California  when  it  mailed  allot- 
ment checks  to  families  and  dependents 
of  107  of  the  men  who  are  working-  in 
the  three  prison  road  camps  operated 
by    the    commission. 

The  allotments  totaled  $2,391.26  of 
an  average  of  a  little  over  J22  per 
man.  They  represent  recent  savings 
of  the  men  under  the  convict  pay  law 
which  has  been  in  effect  during-  the 
past  year. 

"A  careful  check  was  made  to  see 
that  all  money  payable  on  every  allot- 
ment made  by  the  prisoners  was  sent 
out  at  this  time,"  said  Ben  H.  Milliken. 
superintendent  of  convict  camps  for 
the    commission. 

'The  men  are  permitted  to  earn  a 
maximum  of  75  cents  a  day  and  under 
the  law  may  allot  not  more  than  two- 
thirds  of  their  earnings  to  dependents. 
The  total  mailed  out  is  not  large  but 
it  may  make  possible  a  happier  Christ- 
mas for  someone,  at  least  we  hope 
so,"   Milliken   added. 

The  allotments  were  made  by 
twenty-seven  men  in  the  Crescent  City 
camp,  sixty-six  at  Briceburg,  and 
fourteen    at   Kern    River. 

Since  the  pay  law  went  into  eflect. 
In  August,  1923,  the  Commission  has 
paid  $13,872.34  to  dependents  of  con- 
ificts.

SiaES        OF        STEEL        REI.XPORCING 
BARS    AFTER   JANUARY    1,    1928 

As  a  result  of  a  conference  held  at 
the  Department  of  Commerce  in 
Washington  on  September  9,  1924,  the 
following  recommendation  was  made, 
relative  to  the  manufacture,  distribu- 
tion and  use  of  Steel  Reinforcing  Bars 
— round  and  square: 

"In  accordance  with  the  unanimous 
action  of  the  Joint  conference  of  rep- 
resentatives of  manufacturers,  dis- 
tributors and  users  of  square  and 
round  steel  reinforcing  bars,  the  United 
States  Department  of  Commerce, 
through  the  Bureau  of  Standards, 
recommends  that  the  recognized  sizes 
of  square  and  round  steel  reinforcing 
bars,  in  terms  of  cross  sectional  area, 
be   reduced  to   the  following: 

In   Inches  Square   Inches 

H    Round     949 

%    Round    .' '  ...110 

.^    Round    !.!!'!l96

1  Square      '  ' "  '.lloOO 

Us    Square      1.266 

1  '4    Square     1.503 

It  is  further  recommended  that  this 
reduced  list  of  sizes  become  effective 
as  applying  to  new  production  January 
1,  1925,  and  that  every  effort  be  made 
to  clear  current  orders  and  existing 
stocks  of  the  eliminated  areas  before 
March  1,  1925." 

This  recommendation  has  received 
practically  the  unanimous  acceptance 
by  manufacturers,  distributors  and 
users  throughout  the  entire  United 
States. 

At  a  recent  meeting  of  the  Concrete 
Reinforcing  Steel  Institute,  made  up 
of  members  of  the  Reinforcing  Bar 
Interests  of  the  United  States,  these 
recommendations   were   accepted. 

Another  step  forward  to  more  sim- 
plified and  economical  building  hias 
been  attained. 

All  industries  have  agreed  to  here- 
after produce,  distribute  or  use  only 
the  eleven  sizes  of  steel  reinforcing 
bars  mentioned  in  the  above  recom- 
mendation. 

This  was  accomplished  through  the 
untiring  efforts  of  the  Division  of 
Simplified  Practice  of  the  Department 
of   Cnmmrrcf    at    Washington. 


LUMBER     PRODUCTION     IN     1923 


Lumber  production  in  1923,  as  re- 
ported by  the  Bureau  of  the  Census  in 
a  recent  release,  of  37,165,540  M  feet 
for  14,302  mills,  confirms  the  estimate 
made  by  the  National  Lumber  Manu- 
facturers Association  just  one  year 
ago,  of  38,000,000  M  feet  to  40,000,000  M 
feet  for  the  country  as  a  whole,  the 
total  number  of  sawmills  operating  be- 
ing probably  between  22,000  and  25,000. 
The  proportion  of  the  output  of  mills 
reporting-  to  the  Census  Bureau,  to  the 
estimated  total,  has  been  about  90  per 
cent   in   past   years. 

This  estimate  of  the  National  Lum- 
ber Manufacturers  Association  was 
based  on  the  reports  of  subscribing  as- 
sociations which  are  published  in  the 
National  Lumber  Trade  Barometer. 

The  following  is  taken  from  the  re- 
port of  Census  of  Manufacturers,  1923 
Department  of  Commerce: 

The  Department  of  Commerce  an- 
nounces that  according  to  the  data 
collected  by  the  Bureau  of  the  Census 
in  co-operation  with  the  Forest  Ser- 
vice, Department  of  Agriculture,  the 
production  of  lumber,  lath  and 
shingles  in  the  United  States  during 
1923  was  as  follows:  Lumber,  37,165,- 
540  thousand  feet  b.  m.,  an  increase  of 
17.7  per  cent  as  compared  with  1922; 
lath,  3,328.013  thousands,  an  increase  of 
13.2  per  cent;  shingles,  7,506,869  thous- 
ands,  a  decrease  of  7.7  per  cent. 

The  lumber  cut  for  1923  in  the  West 
Coast  States  was  the  largest  ever  re- 
ported, and  the  total  output  for  the 
United  States  was  the  largest  since 
1916. 

The  two  predominating  woods  were

WHAT  HE  HEARS  AND  SEES  ON  HIS  ROUNDS 


The  Department  of  Commerce  an- 
nounces that,  according  to  the  data 
collected  at  the  Biennial  census  of 
manufacturers,  1923,  the  ftablish- 
ments  engaged  primarily  in  the  manu- 
facture of  artificial  «'«"%  ^7''"'='^ 
(not  including  paving  or  roofing),  such 
as  building  blocks,  building  trimmings 
etc,  and  other  articles  manufactured 
from  a  combination  of  stone,  gravel,  or 
sand,  with  cement,  reported  products 
valued  at  $53,602,321,  an  increase  of 
68  7  per  cent  as  compared  with  $J1,- 
768,143  in  1921,  the  last  preceding  cen- 
sus  year. 

More  Portland  cement  will  be  pro- 
duced in  the  united  States  this  year 
than  ever  before.  It  is  estimated  that 
hy  December  31st  the  output  will 
reach  150,000,000  barrels.  That  is 
within  12,000,000  barrels  of  the  annual 
capacity  of  the  existing  plants  and 
about  an  equal  amount  above  the  rec- 
ord   production    of    1923. 

All  previous  records  for  the  pro- 
duction of  common  bricl<  will  be 
broken  this  year,  according  to  the 
Monthly  Digest,  issued  by  the  Com- 
mon Brick  Manufacturers  Association 
of  America.  It  is  estimated  that  the 
total  production  for  1924  will  pass  the 
nine   billion   mark. 

The  Association  of  Railway  Execu-

eguipment  and  improvements  in  addi- 
tion to  the  $2,136,000,000  authorized 
during  the  last  two  years. 


Because  Southern  California  is  be- 
ing flooded  with  second  quality  plumb- 
ing fixtures,  being  sold  under  the  de- 
scription "slightly  defective"  and 
sometimes  even  being  misrepresented 
as  first  quality  fixtures,  the  plumbing 
merchants  have  begun  an  educational 
campaign  to  warn  the  public  against 
the  dangers — to  health  and  pocket- 
book — which  arise  when  second  quality 
fixtures   are   installed.

COAST      STEEL      FIRMS      COMPLETE 
MERGER 


One  of  the  most  important  steel 
mergers  of  the  year  was  consummated 
when  the  Pacific  Coast  Steel  Co.  of  San 
Francisco  look  over  the  plant  of  the 
Southern    California    Iron    &    Steel    Co, 

The  Pacific  Coast  Steel  Co.,  of  which 
Elliott  M.  Wilson  and  D.  E.  McLaugh- 
lin of  San  Francisco  are  president  and

capital  structure  was  changed  to  bring 
the  company's  capitalization  on  a 
parity  with  its  assets  account,  which  at 
that  time  was  listed  at  $5,778,110.  The 
stock  distributed  was  equivalent  to  "

Southern   California   Builders   Meet 


The  third  conference  of  the  presi- 
dents, secretaries  and  managers  of  the 
Builders'  Exchanges  of  Southern  Cali- 
fornia was  held  In  the  office  of  the 
Orange  County  Division.  Los  Angeles 
Builders'  Exchange,  Santa  Ana,  Nov 
7th. 

President  Geo.  R.  Wells,  of  Orange 
County  Division  presided.  The  follow- 
ing  topics   were   discussed: 

1.  What  is  the  effect  of  faulty  con- 
struction on  community  development? 
The  discussion  brought  out  the  facts, 
that  one  poorly  constructed  building 
would  open  the  way  for  others  of  the 
same  character  which  would  soon 
destroy  the  values  in  the  location  and 
retard  development;  that  poorly  con- 
structed, undesirable  buildings  very 
often  have  to  be  condemmed  or  burned 
before  good  buildings  are  planned  for 
an  otherwise  desirable  location.  That 
in  sub-divisions,  streets  should  be 
graded  and  curbed,  water  and  gas  in- 
stalled and  such  other  improvements 
made  as  would  encourage  the  building 
of  better  homes.  Motion  by  W.  E. 
Allen,  seconded  by  H.  J.  Penfold,  that 
the  secretary-managers  of  the  Build- 
ers' Exchange  take  up  the  matter  of 
sub-divisions  with  the  Realty  Boards 
of  their  respective  communities. 

2.  Should  plans  and  specifications  be 
filed  with  the  building-  department 
when  permit  is  issued,  same  to  be 
signed  by  the  contractor  or  owner,  and 
0:K'd.  by  building*  inspector  when 
building  is  completed  and  to  remain 
on  record  for  a  period  of  five  years. 

The  fact  was  brought  out  that  in 
most  cities  plans  and  specifications 
were  filed  with  the  building  depart- 
ment for  checking  before  the  beginning 
of  building  operations  to  see  that  they 
conformed  to  the  building  codes  of  the 


city  and  that  they  became  a  part  of 
the  building  department  records,  but 
were  not  signed  by  either  contractor 
or  owner,   however. 

3.  Should  the  building  department 
lie  held  responsible  for  damage  where 
It  can  be  proven  that  the  building  in- 
spector was  negligent  of  hia  duty. 

It  was  agreed  that  this  could  not  be 
done. 

4.  Should  the  Builders-  Exchange 
go  on  record  as  favoring  all  bids  to  be 
opened  in  presence  of  bidders  and  re- 
fusing to  bid  on  work  when  not  so 
opened. 

It  was  thought  that  this  could  be 
best  accomplished  by  moTe  thorough 
co-operation  with  architects.  An  the 
secretary-managers  of  the  Builders- 
Exchanges  were  requested  to  confer 
with  the  architects  whenever  possible 
regarding  same. 

Simon  Fluor  spoke  on  the  report 
that  some  of  the  material  companies 
were  entering  the  general  contracting 
field  in  competition  with  contractors 
who  were  buying  material  from  them. 
W.  E.  Allen.  President  of  the  Long 
Beach  Exchange,  thought  that  if  either 
a  material  or  manufacturing  concern 
accepted  a  general  contract  on  a  job, 
it  would  be  some  special  reason  on 
that  particular  job,  making  it  neces- 
sary to  do  so  in  order  to  protect  their 
own  business.  However,  Builders-  Ex- 
changes are  advised  to  keep  them- 
selves informed  in  regard  to  this  mat- 
ter and  to  inform  their  members  of 
any  material  or  manufacturing  con- 
cern who  may  be  accepting  general 
contracts   on   work   in   their  localities. 

The  next  conference  of  the  Southern 
California  Builders'  Exchanges  will  be 
held  in  Los  Angeles  upon  call  of  the 
Manager. 


BUILDIXG  IXTERESTS   OF  SUPERIOR 
CALIFORNIA    ATTE.XD   BAAQUET 


Co-operation  among  the  architects, 
builders,  engineers  and  others  of  the 
building  industry  of  Superior  Califor- 
nia was  pledged  at  a  banquet  held  un- 
der the  auspices  of  the  Sacramento  Ar- 
chitects and  Engineers'  Club  in  the 
rooms  of  the  Builders'  Exhibit,  Sacra- 
mento. Dec.  17.  Approximately  200

ing industry. 

Jens  C.  Peterson  acted  as  toast- 
master  and  spokesman  for  the  Sacra- 
mento club  in  welcoming  the  visitors 
and  explaining  the  nature  of  the  meet- 
ing. The  necessity  for  co-operation  of 
those  in  the  building  industry,  regard- 
less of  what  form  of  endeavor  these 
may  take,  was  urged  in  a  keynote  ad- 
dress  by   Charles   Le   Master. 

The  advance  of  the  electrified  home 
was  the  topic  of  a  short  talk  by  Victor 
W.  Hartley,  secretary  of  the  California 
Electrical  Co-operative  Campaign.  He 
predicted  the  complete  electrification 
of  all  homes  within  a  few  years. 

F.  W.  Bunyan  of  the  industrial  and 
structural  minerals  division  of  the 
Sacramento  Chamber  of  Commerce  de- 
partment of  mines  told  of  the  vast  de- 
posits of  slate,  marble,  granite  and 
other  building  stones  In  California  and 


urged  greater  use  of  native  products. 
D.  G.  Nunneley.  manager  of  the  build- 
ers' exhibit,  spoke  on  the  work  of  the 
exhibit. 

Entertainment  was  provided  by 
Glazer  Baker.  Allan  Ballou,  George 
Wetteran  and  Dorothy  Noonan,  Wil- 
liam Peterson  and  R.   Machado. 

A  water  drinking  contest  in  which 
a  team  of  five  builders  defeated  five 
architects,  was  the  closing  feature. 


TO     LOG    THROUGH     WINTER 


Contrary  to  the  usual  custom  in 
logging  operations  of  stopping  all 
work  during  the  winter  months,  an-  • 
nouncement  is  made  by  Charles  Land, 
general  manager  for  the  Hutchinson 
Lumber  Company  at  Oroville,  that 
logging  crews  will  be  continued  in 
the  woods  by  the  company  throughout 
the   present  winter. 

Starting  December  29,  four  donkey 
engines  will  be  operated  and  logs  piled 
for  loading  and  brought  to  the  mill 
at  Oroville  whenever  weather  permits 
railroading  from    the   woods. 

All  operations  at  the  Oroville  mill 
are  now  at  a  standstill,  but  this  con- 
dition too  is  to  cease  with  January  1, 
when  crews  will  begin  the  shipment 
of  lumber.  The  company  is  making  all 
plans  to  cut  100,000,000  feet  of  lumber 
during    1925.

GROUNDING     OF     HOUSE     LIGHTING 
CIRCUITS    RECOMMENDED 


The.  grounding  of  electrical  circuits 
supplied  from  the  low  voltage  side  of 
transformers  is  recomm-nded  as  a 
safety  precaution  by  Dr.  M.  G.  Lloyd, 
Chief  of  the  Safety  Section  of  the 
Bureau  of  Standards,  Department  o£ 
Commerce.  In  a  paper  presented  at 
the  meeting  of  the  International  Asso- 
ciation of  Municipal  Electricians,  Dr. 
Lloyd  pointed  out  that  grounding  re- 
duces the  danger  of  Are  and  accident 
by  preventing  the  occurance  on  the 
circuit  of  voltages  higher  than  ex- 
pected, such  as  might  result  from 
lighting  or  from  crosses  with  a  high 
voltage  line.  Secondary  circuits  car- 
rying less  than  150  volts  should  always 
be  grounded  he  slates,  and  grounding 
is  desirable  also  for  circuits  as  high  as 
440    volts. 

Grounding  to  water  piping  systems 
is  considered  by  far  the  best  where 
such  systems  are  available,  and  the 
objections  sometimes  urged  against 
this  procedure  are  considered  unim- 
portant. Such  objections  include  the 
likelihood  of  electrolysis,  the  danger 
to  employees,  and  the  possibility  of 
overheating  the  pipes.  There  is,  how- 
ever, no  evidence  showing  that  these 
objections   are    valid. 

Grounding  of  electrical  circuits  to 
gas  pipes  should  never  be  done,  he 
states,  as  such  pipes  do  not  have  free- 
ly conducting  joints  and  the  gas  they 
contain  is,  of  course,  a  nonconductor. 
Where  water  piping  systems  are  not 
available,  recourse  should  be  had  to 
artificial  grounds  consisting  of  driven 
pipes,  rods,  or  buried  plates.  Where 
soil  conditions  are  not  suitable  for 
artificial  grounds  the  use  of  a  system 
ground  wire  is  suggested.  To  maintain 
grounding  connections  properly,  sys- 
tematic inspection  and  testing  are 
recommended. 

The  grounding  of  secondary  circuits 
may  be  done  either  at  the  transformer 
or  at  the  building  entrance  of  the  ser- 
vice according  to  the  local  regulations. 
Grounding  at  both  places  is  recom- 
mended, thus  insuring  a  multiplicity  of 
grounds  on  every  secondary  circuit. 
The  grounding  connection  at  the  trans- 
former should  he  installed  and  main- 
tained by  the  power  company  while  the 
grounding  connection  at  the  service 
entrance  is  installed  by  the  building 
owner  or  contractor. 


Here,  There  and  Everywhere 


Special     Corre.spondence 


URGES   NEW      RECLAMATION      CODE 


Secretary  Work  has  submitted  to 
President  Coolidge  a  complete  reclama- 
tion program  which  is  expected  to 
form  the  basis  of  the  administration's 
reclamation  policy. 

The  plan  proposed  additional  legisla- 
tion and  appointment  of  a  joint  con- 
gressional committee  to  draw  up  a 
reclamation  code  which  would  stand  as 
a  policy  for  existing  projects  and  for 
future  developments. 

Although  recent  legislation  enacted 
by  Congress  designed  to  improve  the 
condition  of  settlers  and  make  it  pos- 
sible for  them  to  meet  their  payments 
to  the  Government,  the  secretary  de- 
clared certain  additional  legislation  was 
needed. 

This  should  include  features,  he 
added,  which  would  define  the  policy 
and  procedure  with  respect  to  co-opera- 
tion between  the  Federal  Government 
and  the  states  in  the  development  of 
new  projects;  provide  for  amortized 
payments  with  a  low  rate  of  Interest 
on  advances  made  by  the  Government 
for  the  development  of  farms,  and 
bring  about  the  adoption  of  a  unified 
plan  for  the  colonization  and  closer 
settlement  of  land  in  excess  of  home- 
stead units,  held  in  private  ownership, 


Bull  ding  Shortage  Sizable 

Out  of  the  30  largest  cities  covered 
by  the  analysis  of  the  Bankers'  Econ- 
omic Service,  all  but  eight  showed  rel- 
atively greater  building  activity  in 
October  than  a  year  ago,  and  of  the 
eight  Chicago  was  practically  on  a  par 
with  1923.  This  analysis  measures  the 
relation  of  different  building  projects 
to  the  annual  normal  requirements  of 
each  city,  making  allowances  for 
changes  in  population  and  building 
costs.  The  following  12  cities  at  the 
close  of  October  had  more  than  cov- 
ered their  needs  for  this  year  and 
were  eating  into  the  accumulated 
shortages  of  earlier  years;  New  York, 
Philadelphia,  Detroit,  Baltimore,  Los 
Angeles,  Milwaukee,  Cincinnati.  New 
Orleans,  Denver,  Columbus,  Louisville 
and  Memphis.  Four  other  cities  were 
10  per  cent  or  less  behind  their  normal 
quota,  an  amount  that  can  easily  be 
covered  by  the  end  of  1924.  These  are 
Chicago,  Boston.  Cleveland  and  Wash- 
ington. The  remaining  14  cities  will 
likely  enter  1925  with  greater  building 
shortages  than  they  had  at  the  be- 
ginning of  this  year.  These  are  St. 
Louis,  Pittsburgh,  San  Francisco,  Buf- 
falo, Minneapolis,  Kansas  City,  Seattle. 
Indianapolis,  Rochester,  Portland,  Ore- 
gon; St.  Paul,  Atlanta,  Omaha  and 
Richmond. 

Seasonal    Unemployment 

The  New  Jersey  Building  Congress 
has  just  completed  an  intensive  study 
of  the  seasonal  unemployment  ques- 
tion and  finds  that  the  average  build- 
ing mechanic  is  idle  about  one  fourth 
of  his  time.  One  reason  for  this  con- 
dition, according  to  the  report,  is  the 
reluctance  of  property  owners  to  make 
necessary  repairs,  or  to  make  them 
at  the  auspicious  time— that  is,  when 
there  is  no  great  demand  for  skilled 
and  unskilled  labor  in  new  construc- 
tion. In  order  to  remedy  this  situation 
the  organization  has  made  a  number 
of  recommendations  to  property  own- 
ers and  managers  relative  to  the  best 
time  for  having  certain  kinds  of  repair 
work  done.  Among  these  are  the  fol- 
lowing: interior  painting  from  Novem- 
ber to  April;  plumbing  alterations 
from  December  to  March;  roofing,  con- 
ductor and  gutter  repairs  during  June 
July  and  August;  heating  plants  should 
be  overhauled  and  repaired  when  shut 
down  in  the  spring;  major  repairs 
and  replacements  or  alterations  m 
heating  systems  should  be  planned 
during  the  winter  and  contracts  let 
so  that  work  could  be  started  m  April; 
electric  wiring  September  to  January; 
miscellaneous  interior  remodelling  in- 
volving the  employment  of  masons, 
carpenters,  plasterers  and  lathers 
shiuld  be  done  from  September  1st  to 
April    1st. 

Boston  Trade  Schools 

The  Boston  Evening  Transcript,  issue 
of  November  22,  devotes  an  entire  page 
to  an  interesting  story  relative  to  the 
success  which  has  attended  the  appren- 
ticeship training  movement  in  that 
city  The  success  of  the  movement,  ac- 
cording to  the  Transcript  is  due  to  the 
co-operation  of  contractors,  unions  and 
public  school  officials. 

Courses  in  carpentry,  bricklaying, 
electrical  work,  and  tile  setting  are 
already  under  way,  each  of  which  .s 
under  the  direct  supervision  of  a  com- 
m'ttee  composed  of  three  contractors 
and  three  mechanics.  The  Boston  Plan 
differs    from    that    employed    in    many 


other  cities  in  that  an  apprentice  Is 
not  indentured  to  one  particular  con- 
tractor, but  to  the  craft.  Every  candi- 
date for  admission  to  a  class  must  ap- 
ply to  the  craft  committee  of  the  trade 
he  has  chosen,  for  a  consideration  of 
hig  general  fitness.  If  he  seems  a  suit- 
able applicant  he  enters  a  probation- 
ary period  which  covers  the  first  six 
months  of  his  employment.  Another 
feature  of  the  Boston  Plan  is  job  ro- 
tation under  which  an  apprentice  dur- 
ing his  four  year  term  gets  practical 
experience  on  every  conceivable  job 
incident   to   the   craft  he   has  chosen. 

HOLD    JOINT   MEETING 

A  joint  meeting  attended  by  the 
executive  board  of  the  Associated  Gen- 
eral Contractors  of  America  and  the 
board  of  directors  of  the  American  In- 
stitute of  Architects  was  held  in  De- 
troit on  November  20,  1924.  The  pur- 
pose of  the  conference  as  outlined  by 
R,  C.  Marshall,  manager  of  the  As- 
sociated General  Contractors,  in  his 
opening  remarks,  was  to  undertake  a 
study  of  the  various  economic,  con- 
struction and  ethical  problems  with 
a  view  to  minimizing  waste  and  dis- 
sension in  the  building  industry.  The 
outcome  of  the  joint  conference  will 
be  the  formation  of  a  contact  commit- 
tee of  a  permanent  nature,  represent- 
ing the  two   roganizations. 

Living  Costs  Increase 

The  cost  of  living  is  advancing 
slightly  according  to  the  Monthly  La- 
bor Review  of  the  Bureau  of  Labor 
Statistics,  United  States  Department  of 
Labor.  The  composite  figure  based  on 
data  obtained  from  32  cities  covering 
food,  clothing,  housing,  fuel  and  light, 
house  furnishing  goods  and  miscella- 
neous items  shows  that  the  cost  of  living 
was  70.6  per  cent  higher  in  September, 
1924  than  it  was  in  1913.  The  high 
point  in  the  period  since  1913  was 
reached  in  June,  1920,  when  the  index 
stood  at  116.5.  Prices  began  to  fall 
rapidly  and  continued  downward  until 
the  low  point  was  reached  in  Septem- 
ber, 1922  when  the  index  stood  at  66.3. 
Since  that  time  the  advance  has  been 
slowly    upward. 

Ideal  Wall  Tried  Out 

A  new  type  of  brick  wall  known  as 
the  Ideal  Wall  was  recently  tried  out 
in  Detroit  and  the  results  of  the  test 
were  satisfactory,  according  to  those 
who  witnessed  the  demonstration.  The 
wall  is  a  development  originated  by 
the  Common  Brick  Manufacturers  of 
America  and  was  designed  for  the  pur- 
pose of  reducing  construction  costs  in 
brick  work.  The  bricks  are  laid  in  such 
a  manner  that  a  hollow  wall  is  formed 
with  air  chambers  which  insure  a  dry 
wall  which  retains  the  heat  in  winter 
and  keeps  the  building  cool  in  summer. 

Defeat    Cnnipensation   3IeasuTe 

The  initiative  measure  for  compul- 
sory workmens'  compensation  was  de- 
cisively defeated  by  the  voters  of  Mis- 
souri at  the  recent  election.  The  pro- 
visions of  the  measure  were  so  much 
greater  than  those  in  any  other  exist- 
ing compensation  law  that  its  passag? 
would  have  placed  a  heavy  burden  on 
every  employer  in  the  state.  The  busi- 
ness interests  who  opposed  tlie  meas- 
ure are  now  preparing  to  make  good 
their  pledge  to  prepare  and  introduce 
in  the  legislature  a  bill  which  shall  be 
at  least  as  generous  in  its  provisions 
as  any  law  now   in   force   in  any  slate.

The  High  Cost  of 
Postponing  Permanent 
High^vay  Building 

Poor  motor  roads  stifle  industry  and  agriculture, 
waste  huge  sums  annually  in  high  maintenance  costs, 
and  greatly  increase  gasoline,  tire  and  repair  bills. 

There  is  not  a  state,  not  a  county,  not  a  commu- 
nity, that  isn't  paying  a  heavy  price  for  having  too 
few  permanent  roads. 

There  are  still  many  sections  of  the  country — 
even  whole  states— that  are  trying  to  operate  twen- 
tieth century  traffic  over  nineteenth  century  roads. 

This  is  costing  millions  of  dollars  every  year,  and 
will  keep  on  costing  millions  until  we  have  well  de- 
veloped permanent  highway  systems  everywhere. 

Even  what  we  often  call  the  more  progressive 
communities  are  far  behind  the  demands  of  modern 
highway  traffic  with  its  16,000,000  motor  vehicles. 

From  the  Atlantic  to  the  Pacific,  and  from 
Canada  to  Mexico,  we  need  more  Concrete  roads 
— the  roads  for  twentieth  century  traffic. 

Your  highway  officials  want  to  be  of  the  great- 
est possible  service  to  you.  Get  behind  them  with 
ways  and  means  that  will  provide  more  Concrete 
roads  and  streets.  Such  an  investment  will  pay  you 
big  dividends  year  after  year.

RICHMOND    PAVING    SUIT    GOES    TO 
SUPREME   COURT 


Decision  of  Superior  Judge  A.  B.  Mc- 
Kenzle  in  a  suit  involving  as  the  chief 
issue  validity  of  one  section  of  the 
1915  street  improvement  act,  invoked 
by  the  majority  of  California  cities  In 
their  paving  program,  is  to  be  review- 
ed by  the  United  States  Supreme  Court. 

The  State  Supreme  Court,  which  up- 
Iield  Judge  McKenzie's  ruling  that  one 
section  complained  of  is  not  uncon- 
stitutional, has  issued  a  writ  of  error, 
thus  opening  the  way  for  the  suit  be- 
ing taken  to  the  nation's  highest  tri- 
bunal. 

The  action,  instituted  by  Edith  Stege 
against  the  City  of  Richmond  in  1919. 
involves  title  to  a  large  number  of  lots 
in  East  Shore  Park.  R.  M.  F.  Soto,  at- 
torney for  plaintiff,  contends  that  the 
improvement  bond  act  of  1915,  pre- 
scribing the  form  of  bonds  and  the 
method  of  payment  violates  the  pro- 
visions of  Section  31,  Article  IV  of  the 
United  States  Constitution,  which  pro- 
hibits the  legislature  from  pledging 
the  credit  of  any  city.  Judge  Mc- 
Kenzie  held  the  act  not  violative  of 
the  constitution  and  he  was  sustained 
in  his  ruling  by  the  State  Supreme 
Court. 

The  Suit  to  quiet  title  was  instituted 
by  Edith  Stege  after  the  City  of  Rich- 
mond had  sold  her  property  for  de- 
linquency  in   assessments. 

Judge  McKenzie  rendered  his  de- 
cision in  the  case  on  June  15,  1920.  This 
week  the  Supreme  Court  issued  its 
writ  of  error.  ISecause  of  its  wide  effect 
the  suit  is  being  watched  with  exceed- 
ing interest  by  bond  firms,  banks  and 
contractors.
