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,-
18!:,500; dwellings, $50,000 or over, $75,-
559,400; hotels, $635,394,600; churches,
$289,174,290; hospitals, $311,168,700; In-
dustrial buildings, $414,113,000; office
buildings, $147,144,000; schools, $62,-
258,300; stores, $140,194,400; theatres,

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.

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.
These figures do not include $5f95 in-
terest on bonds paid out of the re-
ceipts of the lighting department, nor
$2000 used in redemption of the $40.-
000 bonds issued to pay for the system.
The use of the fund has been ac-
counted for by spending $10,000 in re-
funding a loan for the purchase of the
plant. $5127 refunded to citizens on ad-
vance payments for power; paving in
the southern part of the city to con-
nect with the Pacific highway; $15.-
464.02; for paving in the northern part
of the city and in front of city prop-
erty, $22,650, with additions and im-
provements amounting to $15,000 ap-
proximately.

MONTEREY COUNTY BUILDERS' AS-

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.

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
Electricians 9.25
Sheet metal workers 9.00

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
York; Kissel Kinnicutt and Company,
New York; Stevenson, Perry, Stacy Co.,
New York; Detroit Company, New York
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.

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.

BILTMORE HOTEL, LOS ANGELES
SCHULTZE & WEAVER, Architects
Twenty-six Tons of
WHITE LEAD
were used on the magnificent
BILTMORE HOTEL
That Pioneer White Lead was specified and used on this mag-
nificent hotel is merely another instance which emphasizes the
high esteem in which this product is held by prominent
architects.
The patented vacuum clean-
ing device shoiun here is just
one reason why Pioneer
Halite Lead is always whit-
er than other Old Dutch
Process White Leads. This
device is an exclusive Fuller
feature, and insures even the
finest particles of impurities
being removed.

.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
la, complete absence of proper bracing
nd no attempt seems to have been
liade to make a building that would
le a coherent whole." It is charged
lat the building ordinances of the city
t Oakland have not been followed.
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.
I'NIFORMITY OF CONCRETE IN
PAVEMENTS
LOS ANGELES BUILDING FOR
MONTH OP JUNE
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:
1924 1923
January $13,158,526 $11,258,517
February 16,083,412 12,0C0,310
March 17,279,758 21,196,087
April 13,224,568 15,352,944
May 8,789,932 18,926,881
June 10,292,542 15,074,446
Total $78,828,738 $93,889,lf:5
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-

=1 ALONG THE LINE
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
lines to the harbor region and the
ioining of certain 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
law unless it was framed as an initia-
live measure. The committee recom-
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
the'same period in 1923. During the
first six months of 1924, there were
7644 permits issued for total valuatiori
of $15 032,855. During the same period
in 1923, there were 6832 permits for
total valuation of $13,267,240, or a net
gain for 1924 over 1923 of $1,, 75,615.
Permits issued during June, 1924, also
show a large increase over June, 1923
During June 1924, there Y/I44 2V0
permits issued for a value of $2,344„iao
During the corresponding month ot
1923 there were 1155 permits issued for
a valuation of $2,166,470, or a net gam
of $177,820.
Herman Roloff, superintendent of
the Sacramento Brick Company's plant
at Sacramento, died in that city July 1,
as the result ot a scalding sustained on
June 13 at the plant when he was in-
specting a broken steam pipe. Roloft
was plant superintendent for the past
twelve years, being appointed to that
position following the death of its
former superintendent, Jas. O'Neil.
Contractors engaged in county im-
provements are urged, in a resolution
adopted by the Alameda County Super-
visors, to purchase all materials and
supplies used on county work from
Alameda county firms and to employ,
as far as is possible, Alameda county
residents.
Adoption of a resolution calling for
immediate steps to be taken to raise
$100,000 to complete the investigation
and survey of the water resources ot
the State, in order that a complete re-
port may be made to the next Legisla-
ture and appointment of a committee
ot nve to meet with other State com-
mittees and present the matter before
the business men of the State, marked
the accomplishments at a mass meet-
ing ot water users of the San Joaquin
valley at Visalia, July 9. The survey
contemplates in effect the eventual
construction of the so-called Marshall
Plan, evolved after thirty years of
.study by Col. R. B. Marshall, former U.
S. government engineer.
Emphasizing the industrial con-
quests of the community, the fourth
annual East Bay Manufacturers' Ex-
position will be held under the auspices
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-
tries of the c<.mmunity are graphically
shown. The attendance last year was
over 150,000 people.
The Department of Commerce an-
nounces that, according to reports for
the Census ot Manufactures, 1923, the
establishments engaged primarily in
the manufacture of sand-lime brick in
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
value per thousand, however, decreased
from $13.06 in 1921 to $11.63 in 1923.
Breaking all records, building in
Alameda passed the $2,000,000 mark
during the fiscal year of 1923-1924 and
was nearly double that of the preced^
ing 12 months, totaling $2,499,963.4.5.
according to the statistical report of
Eugene Maillot, building inspector.
Building showed an increase of $1,-
132,507.95 during the 12 months, the
total for 1922-1923 being $1, 367,455.50.
There were 981 permits issued during
1923-1924, as compared with 789 for
1922-1923, an increase ot 192.
Albert Givan, city engineer of Sac-
ramento, has been appointed e^^^J^'^
manager of the Sacramento Public
ITtility District by the district board
ot directors. Engineer Givan assumes
his new office July 19 and will receive
a salary of $10,000 a year. Mr. Givan
has been requested "at his earliest con-
venience to report to the board tne

data In preparing a comprehensive re-
port on the water supply of the Silver
Creek watershed, as aiiplicable to the,
development suitable to an adequate
source of power for the district, in-
cluding all available information on
the subject and matters bearing di-

Plans for placing bulldinp contrac-

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.

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

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.

"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:
Bitumen 6%
Passing 200 Mesh 2.7%
Passing 100 Mesh, 4.2%
80 " 2.2%
50 " 4.9%
40 " 3.2%
30 " 2.6% 27.1%
20 " 3.6%
10 " 4 %
"4 " 2.4%
hi •• 7.4%
% " 27.6%
1" " 23.4% 64.2%
1%" " 5.8%
100%
A typical analysis of the asphaltic
cement used follows:
Penetration of A. C 46
Fixed Carbon 15.3%
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.

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,

Misleading labels are often used by

the caracterlstlcs of chemical tests

at Mechlen an official laboratory for

seldom adhered to outside of the

Standard specifications as a leader for
the exportation of their products, same

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-

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

It must be distinctly understood that

"The cement shall comply with the

Society for testing materials."
Other conditions for testing sampling

entitled "Beautiful and Permanent
Walls and Ceilings Are the Body of
Architectural Excellence." The book is
addressed to architects, contractors,
and builders, and calls attention to the
advantages of the use of Truscon 1-A
metal lath and expanded corner bead
in the elimination of cracks, streaks,
and other rapid deterioration in
plaster. This lath was designed
especially for home construction, the
booklet states, and can be used
throughout the structure at a total cost
that will be very little, if any, higher
than the cost of combustible wood
lath and plaster. A copy will be sent
free on request.

construction of a wharf at the ter-
minal of Bay Point and Clayton Rail-
road on Suisun Bay, Contra Costa
County, and intends to utilize it for
shipping the bulk of its product at the

the decision to build the wharf.
STEEL DEMAND IS IMPROVING
At a recent meeting of the board of
directors of the Monolith Portland Ce-
ment Company, the regular dividend on
preferred stock was declared and au-
thorized payable during the month of
July, to stockholders of record, as of
July 1, 1924. This is semi-annual di-
vidend No. 5, and payable at the rate
of 8 per cent per annum for the period
of January 1 to June 30, 1924.

latter concern.
A wage cut amounting to approxi-
mately 10 per cent has been put into
force by the Hutchinson Lumber Com-
pany of Oroville. In announcing the
wage cut, the statement was made
that the lumber demand does not war-
rant higher wages and that it was

STEEL SASH BUSINESS GOOD
Though presidential years are com
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

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.

A. S^T "OVBRBl IliT" SAYS
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.

ESGIXEERIXG COXSTHUCTION
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.

BUILDING AND ENGINEERING NEWS
ALONG THE LINE
THE OBSERVER
WHAT HE HEARS AND SEES ON HIS ROUNDS
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 Japanese government has ad-
dressed a communication to the Mexi-
can Federation of Chambers of Com-
merce requesting to be placed in
touch with the Mexican producers for
the purpose of placing orders for raw
materials previously purchased in the
United States.
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.
Unfilled orders on the books of the
United States Steel Corporation as per
June 30, totalled 3,262,205 tons, a de-
crease ot 365,584 tons from the May 31
total. On April 30 the total was 4.-
082,447 tons; on March 31. 4,782.807 and
on June 30, 1923, it was 6,386,261 tons.
The Sutter county supervisors have
ordered plans prepared for the cause-
■way to connect with the west approach
to the new bridge at Nicolaus on the
Garden Highway between Yuba City
and Sacramento. The improvement will
cost approximattly $180,000.
■Wm. H. Phippis, 68, wealthy lum-
berman, died in Hudson, Wis., July 14.
Phippis owned extensive lumber in-
terests "on the Pacific Coast, according
to reports.
In furtherance of its efforts to afford
prompt relief, where possible, to water
consumers who are subjected to incon-
venience or threatened loss by reason
of the prevailing drought conditions,
the State Railroad Commission has ap-
pointed E. H. Harroun. a hydraulic en-
gineer, as advisory engineer in water
matters. Mr. Harroun will be dis-
patched to the scene wherever his ser-
vices are necessary to adjust differ-
ences betweep public utility water
companies ana consumers, or to ad-
vise the utilities in the matter of de-
veloping their full resources, and in
apportioning their available supply
where a shortage to certain consumers
is threatened.
Lumber exports from the port of
■Vancouver, B. C, amounted to 164.000,-

a policy ot retrenchment, has abolish-
ed the" positions of superintendent of
the Municipal Terminal railway held by
George Southwick; assistant . harbor
engineer, held by E. W. Merwin. and

.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.,
July 30 will be largely attended by the
western membership and a number of
eastern officers and members will be
on hand. This meeting provides op-

lems especially affecting the north
coast membership and their relation to
organization activities at large. R. A.
Dailey, manager of the association's
north coast office, has visited Portland
and made plans for the meeting pro-
gram, etc.. and a number of subjects,
including transportation as it affects
intercoastal business, credits, arbitra-
tion, cost of doing business, uniform
order blank, etc., will be discussed.
The meeting will be held at the Ben-
son Hotel, starting with a luncheon on

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

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.

KNUI.VEKIIING PROFESSION UNDER-
PAID S.\¥!« JOL'UNAI,
Bureau scientists In Washington,
conspicuous examples of the faithful
public servant, work for salaries that
a selfrespecting plasterer would call
cigarette money. Research men In
laboratories of great corporations fare
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

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-

shows, for these cities as a whole, a
14% reduction from the total for May-
a 28% reduction from that of last June
and a slight reduction from June of
1922, although 33 cities report gains
over May, the most notable among
them being Los Angeles, San Diego,
Salt Lake, Tacoma and Oakland, and

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-

American Plan Progress is
Reported by Industrial Ass'n.
BY KRA>t I.S J. BAKKK, I'RFiSIDENT. IXDI STRIAL ASSOCIATION OF SAN
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.

that will enable him to check his esti-
mates, and to equip him with full data
on present day costs of replacing var-

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.

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

The number of countries, colonies,

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.

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.

From Italy comes the promise of
liquid light through radium. A half-
pint bottle will last seven years and
give, off a light rivalling the brilliancy
of the sun. But the radium necessary
t-i malie the liquid would 'cost half a
liillion dollars.
III(;HU'AY K.NUOItSUU
The Kern count.v board of supervis-
s has endorsed the Matilija Highway
I'lject and has passed resolution call-
lu; upon the State Highway Oommis-
111 to favor the early completion of
li.s route to the coast.
It is slated the route viill be 50 miles
iTi Tcjon canyon to Fillmore. A road
'•rn Taft ,and Maricopa through the
- in l^medio canyon will intersect the
Highway, thereby affording one of the
most scenic and easiest routes from

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.

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?"
"Indeed I do," replied Jones, sadly,
"I'm the man who did his repair work."

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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:
San Mateo County. 12.36 miles of
road from the Half Moon Bay road to
the La Honda road, $573,064.60; Shasta
County. 9.92 miles of road, from Bayha
to Halfway Creek, $571,987.93: San
Diego County, 17.14 miles of road from
San Diego to Oceanside, $533,913.55:
Shasta County, 9.88 miles of road from
Redding to Bayha, $478,414.87; Sacra-
mento County, 13.03 miles of road from
McConnell Station to Sacramento.
$444,490.71; Los Angeles County, 13.6

The last contract awarded before
July 17 of this year was one for 8.07
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.

THE OBSERVER
WHAT HE HEARS AND SEES ON HIS ROUNDS
ALONG THE LINE
Buildine trades workers in the averjige American city are employed le-ss
than three-fourths of the tin.e at their trade. This is '^e finding of a com-
mittee appointed by Herbert Hoover, Secretary of Commerce to ^u"ey the
building situation in the United States with a view to determining why buna
ing construction could not continue through all seasons of the year. The
sufvev was an outgrowth of the Committee on Seasonal Operations in the
Construc'iron IndustrTs. of the President's Conference °" U-mploymen whose
purpose is to relieve unemployment, to eliminate waste and reduce costs.
"In the average year," a report filed by the committee says, men m the
bulld?nVtr\deVm^:t^oe paid enough to support ^h^--^-^^-.^ w^'u'" With
for twelve months on wages received for .seven to ten ."1°"*'^^ J^'P^'f. "Z'H
most contractors twelve months' overhead costs of maintaining their "W^es
must be charged against the jobs carried on actively during seven or eight
™° Building supply dealers must maintain establishments big enough to
handle a llrge amount of work during four or five months. These establish-
ments are practically idle during at least three months, and are operating at
"nly a fracUon of their capacity during the rest of the year. Building ma_
terial manufacturers also have to maintain unnecessarily .'arBe plant and
equipment or else stock up materials during dull seasons in order to meet
""^"^■ArXt'l'lts find their office work crowded largely into the first ^i'' "°"tj>«
of the year although their field work is often active for some months later
InteVmiUeni employment conditions keep young men from taking up the
buildtag trades and account in large part for the high hourly wage rates, and
eive a false impression of actual earnings. v, ,„ i„ „„„
Individuals concerned with building are urged to do their share m con-
tributing to all year round building operations by scheduling new work and
repair work at I time when the pressure of general building is not alt its
height.
Declaring that the Mechanic's Lien law is a good law and should be liber-
ally construed, and that extra work done in building for the benefit of owners
should be paid for even though instructions to do the work were not in ^r ting
Is provided for in the contract. Superior Judge Geo. H. Buck of San Mateo
County rendered a decision in favor of the plaintiffs in the case of Thos. A.
Cavanaugh and Frank M. Cavanaugh, doing business as Cavanaugh Bros. vs.
Martha Q. Keplinger and L. B. Keplinger. hnilrlinB- con-
The defendants had refused to pay for certain work done on a building con-
structed on lot 12-B of Bowie Estate No. 1, the contractors filing a mechanics
lien and demanding judgment for $3089.26 and costs. Judgment ^'as taken by
default on April 17 last, the default having later been set aside by agreement
and the case tried and submitted on May 26.
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
shortage of single family dwellings ex-
isted.
An election will be held in October
or November in the Metropolitan
Sewage Disposal District of Los An-
geles county to vote a $12,000,000 bond
issue to provide an ocean outfall sys-
tem for the communities represented in
the district.
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.
According to word from Pittsburgh,
Penn., Follansbee Bros., steel manu-
facturers, have perfected the first all-
lead roofing material in the history of
the industry and are making large
quantities of it at the Follansbee, W.
Va., plant. Perfection of the product
is attributed to C. W. Manning of New
York.
Allan G. Wagner, maintenance engi-
neer for the California State Highway
Commission, has been selected to fill
the oflice of city engineer of Sacra-
mento, succeeding Albert Givan who
was appointed general manager of the
.Sacramento Public Utility District.
Wagner's appointment, it is understood,
will be made effective on August 1st.
Lester Canady has been appointed
project engineer on the Gordon Valley
water project for the city of Vallejo.
Considerable preliminary work has
been done by Mr. Canady who has been
associated with the project for some
time serving in the capacity of as-
sistant engineer. A. Kempkey of San
Francisco is chief engineer on the
project.
Edward A. Hoffman, former assistant
engineer of Richmond, has been
named city engineer to fill the vacancy
caused through the resignation of H.
D Chapman who has been appointed
city engineer of Venice, Calif. Mr.
Hoffman has been connected with the
Richmond city engineering depart-
ment since 1915.
Industrial Department of the Oak-
land Chamber of Commerce plans to
establish an industrial exhibit where
buyers from eleven western states and
Pacific Ocean markets could view the
variety of products manufactured in
the East Bay section. The exhibit
would be permanent and open to vis-
itors the year round.
(Continued on Page 8)
E Goeffrey Banks, director of hous-
ing with the State Immigration and
Housing Commission, has resigned and
an examination will be held shortly to
fill the vacancy. The position pays $-oO
a month with a possible maximum ot
of $350 a month, together with neces-
sary traveling expenses.
Federal Paving Co., a Fresno con-
cern, capitalized at $100,000, has filed
articles of incorporation in Los An-
geles. Directors of the company are;
W. F. and T. A. Hanrahan and E.
Stoneman of Fresno.
C F. Price, the first city manager of
San Mateo, has tendered his resigna-
tion to the city trustees. The resigna-
tion is effective at once. Price's resig-
nation, it is said, was requested by the
city trustees.

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.
CONTRACTORS SUE OWNER
C. H. Hansen and Joseph C. Buchen,
Modesto contractors, have filed suit
in the superior court against George
F. Covell for $60,885.65, alleged due
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
different and distinct causes for suit,
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-

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

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'

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

for London, August 6. on the Aquitania,
where he will address cement makers
from various parts of the world at-
tending a convention in London early
in September to commemorate the one
hundredth anniversary of the invention
of Portland Cement.
Mr. Kelley, who has for many years
been a leader in the scientific field of
cement manufacture, is also a member
of the American Society for Testing
Materials, American Society of Me-
chanical Engineers and a number of
other technical associations. He will
visit and make a study of many cement

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.
Spencer, Secretary.
Four regular meetings of the Board
are held each year and the Chairman
is invested with power to call special
meetings when conditions warrant
The procedure followed is much the
same as that prevailing in law courts
Each contestant is given an opportun-
ity to present data to the Board as t»
why his craft should be awarded cer-
tain work. After the evidence has all
I
8
been presented the Board goes into ex-
ecutive session and renders an award
based on the data that has been offered.
Over fifty important decisions have
been rendered to date by the Board and
with the exception of the one pertain-
ing- to the erection of metal trim all
have been lived up to by the parties
signatory to the agreement.

THE OBSERVER
(Continued from Page 4)
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,

practically normal.

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.

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.

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

duction, Whitco Hard-
ware is sold at a figure
which makes it feasible

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,
since the reorganization of the Bridge
Department of the State Highway
Commission to include supervision of
bridge construction, has named several
assistants. F. "W. Haselwood, formerly
assistant division engineer in Division
I, has been placed in charge of all
railroad grade crossing elimination
work. He also will represent the
state highway engineer on the recent-
ly created grade crossing committee,
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
engineer, following a recent civil ser-
vice examination. He will be in
charge of the construction of the
$400,000 Memorial bridge over the
Klamath River. D. C. Willett also has
been appointed assistant bridge en-
gineer. He will continue to act as
office engineer. L. D. Packard, former-
ly with Division VII, has been chosen
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.

ALONG THE LINE
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
the universe in the Hoo Hoos, will at-
tend the annual meeting of the lumber-
men's frolic organization in Santa
Cruz, Aug. 23. During the Santa Cruz
convention, the State Mill Work In-
stitute and the directors of the Cali-
fornoa Retail Lumbermen's Associa-
tion will meet.
.\ jielition asking that she be ad-
.iudged bankrupt has been filed in the
United States District Court by An-
nette L. Slauson, doing business in
Cazadero, Sonoma County, under the
name of the Cazadero Lumber Com-
pany. The petitioner lists her debts
at 161,616 and her assets at $62,068.
Among the debts are listed the
wage claims of fifty-seven employes
of the company, totaling $6,737. These
claims have been assigned to the state
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,
according to Tweed.
West Coast Theatres, Inc., will erect
twenty-eight motion picture theatres
in Southern California section at a cost
of $5,000,000. The construction pro-
gram has already received the approval
of the board of directors.
Wenatchee Southern Railway Com-
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
shook. .1. E. Niles of Alturas is
president of the concern. Tom Phene-
gar, recently of Klamath Fails. Ore., an
experienced box factory man, has been
placed in charge as superintendent.
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-
teo county supervisors to hear the ap-
plication ot John Lyle Harrington who

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,

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-

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.

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

BnM)I.\(i AND ENGINEERINO NEWS
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
indicates the high class of workman-
ship and the workability of the con-
crete used.
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.

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-

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.

ROAD SHOW COMMITTEKS BEING
ORGANIZED IN CHICAGO
BUILDING AND ENGINEERING NEWS
Marked Recovery is Noted in
Saturday, August 16, 1924
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.
MUNICIPAL LIGHT .SYSTEM AT
REDDING SHOWS PROFIT
The net revenue from Redding's
electric lighting system for the fiscal

enue for the year was $64,903.71; ex-
penses, including the purchase of cur-
rent, $33,011.74; net gain, $31,891.97.
The total net gain since the electric

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.

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,
resists decay, and is impervious to cer-
tain insects. With a coating of special
paint containing the same ingredients
as "thermolite." the house is also
rendered fireproof. Houses of this type,
according to the inventor, can be
erected for 25 per cent less than the
ordinary house and can be completed
within less than six weeks.

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-

•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.

WK.STKRX PINE SHIPMENTS IN
JINE ARE LARGE
Jl LY STEEL OPERATIO.\S ARE :W%
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
23
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

i.iled in the history of the common-
■ ' Mlth .
According to figures compiled by L.
'■ Willems, director of the Information
n-cau of the San Francisco Chamber
'ommerce, the total bank deposits
I'alifornia up to .June 30, 1924, were
7 17,307.136. On the same date in

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.

WHAT HE HEARS AND SEES ON HIS ROUNDS
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
a favorable comparison with totals for
the same period 1923, when 36,764 per-
mits were issued with a total of $117,-
660.154.
The application for a restraining
urder against the International Asso-
liation of Bridge, Structural and Orna-
mental Iron Workers asked for by the
Iron League of New York has been re-
fused by .Justice Lydon of the Supreme
Court. The injunction called for the
restraint of all officials and members
of the union in the metropolitan dis-
trict from interfering with the non-
union men employed by the members
of the Iron Lea.srue. The League re-
cently instituted a suit against the
union in which it demanded $6,000,000

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.

Record Attendance Expected At Annual Builders' Outing
KWilch in location from Monte
•I Santa Cruz for the annual Build-
I'ay Outing, August 30, 31 and Sept.
s struck a responsive chord
IS' the members "C the various
I'-rs' Exchanges in Northern and
I al California.
nia Cruz will entertain the build-
n royal fashion. All sorts of ar-
• menis are in course of formula-
lo welcome what is expected to
tic biggest gathering of the con-
lion industry ever witnessed in
'Ction.
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-
commodations for yourself and family.

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
fair dealing." Y

EMPLOYERS WIN MORE VICTORIES
THAN EMPLOYEES
Out of S.081 strikts on which ac-
curate data is available from 1916 to
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
strikes as opposed to 256 victories by
the workers.

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."

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

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.

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.

The output of clay mined and sold as
clay in the United States in 1923
amounted to 3,434,660 short tons, valu-
ed at 111,188,913, or $3.26 per ton, ac-
cording to the Department o£ the In-
terior, as determined by figures com-
piled by the Geological Survey in co-
operation with State Geological Sur-
veys in Alabama, Florida, Georgia,
Illinois, Iowa, Maryland, Michigan,
Missouri, New Jersey, New York, North
Carolina, Virginia, Washington, and
Wisconsin. These figures show an in-
crease of 30 per cent in quantity and
34 per cent in value as compared with
those for 1922. They represent only
clay sold as clay by the original pro-
ducers; they do not include the much
greater quantity of clay that was burn-
ed into clay products by the producers
themselves.
The output of Kaolin, the clay that
is used in making high-grade pottery
and porcelain as well as paper and
other products, amounted to 336,803
tons, valued at $2,926,255, an increase
of 22 per cent and 25 per cent, re-
spectively, as compared with 1922.
The clay of largest production and
value is fire clay. The sales of fire
clay in 1923 amounted to 2,298,163
tons, valued at $6,565,899, an increase
of 37 and 42 per cent, respectively, as
compared with 1922. The output of
clay of every kind increased in quan-
tity and Value in 1923 as compared
with 1922, e.xcept stoneware clay,
which decreased slightly in quantity
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,

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

COMMITTICE t)X LIKN LAW
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
cent in number, were exported. The
poles were for telegraph, telephone and
transmission lines. — From a report pre-
pared by A. E. Broadle, acting chief of
the lumber division, U. S. Bureau of
Foreign and Domestic Commerce.
Watsonville — $1,000,000 cold storage

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-

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.

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 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.

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.

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— rfominanf strength concrete— and to every
last casting and bearing, the Koehring is the heavy
duty mixer of frouble-proof, long service life.

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.

nRl5:AKS YKAR'S RECORD
July production of 14,029,000 barrels
of Portland cement established a new
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.
The table below, compiled from fig-
ures of the Department of Commerce,
sliows productions, shipments and
stocks on hand (in barrels) for the

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.

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.
Diamond Patent Show Case Company

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-
out an industry, it is practically es-
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-
ing developments of the standardiza-
linn movement is the increasingly im-
portant role that trade associations are
playing in it. More than HO national
trade associations are oRicially parti-
cii>ating in standardization projects
under the auspices of the American En-
gineering Standards Commitlie. The
work of the committee is indicative of
the growth of the movement as a
whole. One hundred and fifty-two
projects have been completed or are
under vj'ay, and in these various pro-
.iects 235 national organizations, tech-

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,

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.

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-

nil'ROVED HIGHWAYS YIELD 100%
UKTl'RN ON INVESTMENT
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
exceed that of last year by $26,136,275.
The following table lists the. ten
cities of the United States having the
greatest valuation in building permits
for the first seven months of this year:

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."

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
IVSI BED
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.
C. I. PIPE AND FITTINGS MANU-
FACTURED IN 1»23
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 cast-iron
pipe and fittings in that year reported
such products valued at $87,443,039,
together with other classes of prod-
ucts valued at $5,231,049, making a to-
tal of $92, 674, OSS. The rate of increase
in the total value of products as com-
pared with 1921, the last preceding
census year, was 109.1 per cent.
Of the 74 establishments reporting
for 1923, 33 were located in Alabama.

Bl ILDING tOSTS DOUBLES IN TEN
YEARS
"Buildin.g costs in the United States
have doubled in the past ten years" is
a statement made in a special report
on the building situation issued by the
National Industrial Conference Board.
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.

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.

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?

Whitco Hardware is sold only
through retail dealers in

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-
quainted with it.

Accomplishments of the recent elec-
trical communications conference held
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."
«BA>'TED AAWTER RI«HTS
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.

ALONG THE LINE
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-
ger, president, has become associated
with A. M. Castle & Co. and will re-
tain an active Interest in the company.
R L. Sanford, who has been resident
vice president of A. M. Castle & Co. in
San Francisco for the last 17 years,
will continue his interest in the man-
agement.
Department of Commerce reports
show that San Francisco has transact-
ed more foreign trade in one year, 1923,
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-
merce of San Francisco increased 400
per cent in 1923 over 1910 compared
with but a 250 per cent increase for
the entire country.
Charles R. Detrick, State building
and loan commissioner, in his annual
report for the fiscal year, ended June
30, says there are 145 associations un-
der his jurisdiction, of which twenty
are in San Francisco. Assets for the
State are placed at $108,687,142.86, com-
pared with $86,270,458.70 for the year
previous, a gain of $23,416,684.16.
Building and loan associations of Cali-
fornia now have 116,389 members and
investors, and 40,922 borrowers; the
average investment is $838.13, and the
average loan $2,837.34. The total home
building loans made by building a"nd
loan associations in this State now ag-
gregate 75,907, of which 8,378 were
made this year. The number of real
estate loans made for the year were
15,771. Sixteen new associations were
formed and licensed.
Chas. H. Spear, president of the Cali-
fornia State Board of Harbor Commis-
sioners, has been elected president of

per cent of all the skilled and unskilled
labor of the country is engaged in the
building branch alone. Some 2.50,000

materials. Our building bill is $200 per
year for each family in the United

the great outstanding influence for

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
: hould be treated as any other job ex-

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. —

AMERIC.VX CONSTRICTION COUNCII,
JIEETS IN N. Y. NEXT MONTH
The annual meeting of the American
Construction Council for 1924 will be
held on October 2nd and 3rd in New
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.

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:

Los Angeles' buildliiK total for Au-
gust, ia2-». was thf third largest month-
ly total for Ihc current year and largiT
than any monthly total for l!i22. Dur-
ing August, 1924, the Los Angeles city
building department issued 3835 per-
mits with an estimated valuation of
$13,893,095. For the same month in
1S23 the number of permits was 5932
and tht' estlmalt*d valuation was $22,-
249,262. That was the peak month of
()ne of the most extraordinary periods
of building In the southern city. Fbr
August. 1922. the. number of permits
was 4294 and the estimated valuation
was $11,523,891. As 1922 was a period
of brisk building activity In Los An-
geles, the showing for August, 1924. is
satisfactory.
Fur light months of 1324 Los An-
geles' building total Is $104,321,615,
compared with $131,221,720 for the cor-
responding period last year and $79,-
047,159 for eight months of 1922. It
will be observed that while the total
for the current year Is $26,900,105 less
than for 1923, it is $25,274,456 greater
than for the corresponding period of

$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."
California Highway Commission
Victor in Important Lawsuits
By I'nul K. FnitriiNn, .\ttoriiey t'nliforiiia iliKl>»ny CoiiiniiKNion
Two lawsuits have recently been de-
cided In favor of the California High-
way Commission which are of consider-
able importance.
The first is the suit brought by
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 solution of the problem heretofore
unattempted, according to the Domestic
Commerce Division. The pamphlet
known as Trade Information Bulletin
No. 266 may be obtained upon request
from the Bureau of Foreign and Do-
mestic Commerce in "Washington, or

ment's offices.
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.
The Willite Company of Arizona has

rectors. Mr. Prochaska will be in
charge of the company's business. Mr.

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
SUIT FOLLOWS FAILURE TO DE-
CLARE DIVIDENDS
Charging that officials of the 'West
Turlock Lumber & Mill Company of
Turlock have violated provisions of
the United States Revenue Act of 1921
by failing to declare dividends for
three years, during which time re-
sources of the corporation have ac-
cumulated to the extent of $154,825,
with an indebtedness of but $9,007.41,
Mary L. Roberts, who owns seventy-
five of the 260 shares of capital stock,
valued at $100 a share, has brought
suit in the Superior Court in Mo<3esto
Materials. Other speakers included
Commander Ralph 'Whitman of the
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

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.

The engineer has created modern

try is substantially sutBcient, if other
factors were in accord, to establish the
universal comfort and well-being that
the race has sought since the begin-
niiiL;-. Dut the engineer has been so
ii:t'-nt upon devising means for pro-
'i'H lion, upon improving the quality of
pr M'luct and of managing the men and
I' iris of production to secure the maxi-

V' I'rp his ability and to establish his
■ -ition in the other leading factors of
to which he is entitled by virtue
li.s part in production and the rc-
I iiig welfare.
ne of the greatest causes of unrest
the part of the worker lies in his
:v of understanding of the value of
>"'- other factors necessary between
ihf basic raw materials and the con-
•^ inner of goods. The engineer in his

address delivered by John Lyle
I lington, when he retired as presi-
II I of the A. S. M. M. in 1923.
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.

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-
chikan Spruce Mills at Ketchikan,
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

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

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.

Bid Bonds Easily Secured— Not
Guarantee of Contractors Worth
By A. H. HOTKt
the
rieau Contraclor
The $100,000 plant of the Enwood
Sand & Rock Company at Roseville is
now in operation.
In many instances, laws are such
that they permit a bid bond to be at-
tached to a proposal for public works.
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

It Is my opinion that If ciitlflcd

Wt-re leiiulrtd at higliwuy Icttinns, and
the aiiuiuni of the certified chock were
lomcwhirc between 7H and 10 pi r cent

■ecure bids only from contractors who
are responsible to carry out the work
on the basis of their proposals, and In
accordance with plans, specifications,
and time of completion. Contractors
would be much more careful in build-
ing up their proposals, because of the
fact that their own perfectly good cer-

own cold cash, which they aluno are

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,
'- Toit, Houston, Indianapolis, Jack-
sonville. Kansas City, Los Angeles,
Memphis, Minneapolis and St. Paul,
Mobile, New Orleans, New York, Nor-
folk, Philadelphia, Pittsburg, Portland,
Maine; Portland, Oregon; Richmond,
St. Louis, San Francisco and Oakland,
t'-avannah, Seattle, Scranton.
The pamphlet is regarded by the Do-
' .Stic Distribution Department as
' rely a beginning and as valuable
.'■ what it does not sliow as it is in
figures presented.
\\'e. do not know, for example," the
partment says in its introduction,
III- number of retail groceries in the

not know how many of them are chain
groceries or how many are indepen-
dently owned. This is true not only of
groceries but of hardware stores and of
those where hardware is sold. Until
these factors are known, until a satis-
factory enumeration of dealers in dif-
• rent classes of commodities is ac-
iiiplished, one of the great elements

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.

United States in value of agricultural products. Norman Hall of Santa he.
rupervisor Bill Harrelson and I started this twenty-five years ago when we
encouraged the boys to plant fruit trei-s, grape vines, alfalfa etc. Believe it
or not but when I arrived here last Friday they had an old fashioned Tulare
County sandstorm in my honor. I attended Rotary here last Friday, will
attend here next Friday and return to San Francisco on Saturday next.

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.

908,065 for refunding, $137,136,502 for
collateral, $295,381,551 for reorganiza-
tion and $10,821,665 for miscellaneous

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

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.

THE OBSERVER
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,
$10,929.89; Bank of c<.lifornia, $7,115.52
and Central National Bank of Oakland,
$8,683.22.

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.

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-

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.

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-

ware store and builders exchange hac

pective home builder got a copy of it

lien law was an invaluable proiectior
to everyone, and indispensable to thi
building industry.

l)oards are of the highest quality. G. E. Toggle
switches and Johns-Manville Ebony boards are

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;
<omiji;ti-; hkicks a.vd iioi.lou
tile to be staxd.vhdizei)
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."

folks anxious to raise their own sky-
line a bit. The city ordinance now
limits buildings to twelve stories and
many people want higher bulildmgs, ac-

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-
tinues.

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-

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

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."

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.

pany will be at Los Angeles.

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."
»3.000,000 FOR COX.STHI"rTIO!V IS
AVAILABLE THROUGH DECISION
The State Supreme Court at San
Francisco has issued a writ of man-
date commanding State Controller Ray
L. Riley and State Treasurer Charles
G. Johnson to pay to the Reclamation
Board of the State of California $285,-
147.75, the initial amount claimed to be
due from the $3,000,000 in the state
emergency fund in the treasury and
not appropriated. The petition •was
filed by the Reclamation Board on be-
half of the Sacramento and San Joa-
quin Drainage District and will be ex-
pended on the Sutter-Butte bypass pro-
ject over a period of eleven years.
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.

ALONG THE LINE
THE OBSERVER
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
F. E. Ames of the timber sales de-
partment of district No. 6 of the forest
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.
The annual report of the Los Angeles
harbor commission for the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1924, is at hand. It
shows the receipt waterborne, coast-
wise, at the harbor of forest products
equivalent to 1,725.780,286 board feet, of
which 1,586,696,862 feet was straight
lumber. The intercoastal waterborne
receipts were 5,358,536 feet of lumber.
223,640 lath, 6,444,000 shingles and 816
bundles of box shocks.
During the month of September, 102
lumber carriers entered Los Angeles
harbor, 80 with fir and 22 from red-
wood ports. The 'capacity of the fir
boats was 109,330.000 ft. and the red-
wood 16,690,000 ft. Total for the
month, 126,020,000 ft., and for the year,
1,117,810,000 ft., all of which approxi-
mates entire southern California
waterborne receipts.
Unfilled tonnage of the United States
Steel Corporation on September 30 in-
creased 184,203 tons, compared with

tember 30 amounted to 3,473,780 tons,
against 3,289,577 on August 31, a total
of 3.187,072 on July 31 and 5.035,750 on
September 30, 1923.
Four hundred men are on the payroll
of the Red River Lumber Company, the
largest in the history of the company,
according to word from Westwood.
More than 350 men are engaged in the
work of completing the Hat Creek
power line.
Fire destroyed the box plant of the
BIoedel-Donovan Lumber Company at
Bellingham. Wash.. Sept. 30. Morrison
Mill Company's cargo plant was also
destroyed. The loss, according to re-
ports, will exceed $500,000.
Fire destroyed several buildings of
the Rainbow Mill & Lumber Company
in southern section of .Shasta county on
Sept. 29. The main box factory and
yard stocks were untouched. The loss
is estimated at $25,000.
Plans for the elimination of irrespon-
sible bidders on public construction
operations were discussed at a recent
meeting held at White Sulphur
Springs, West Virginia. The meeting
was presided over by R. C. Marshall.
Jr.. General Manager of the Associated
General Contractors of America, and
was attended by representatives of
that organization, the National Surety
Association and American Association
of State Highway Officials. It is
planned to establish a national rating
bureau, which will investigate the
financial ratings of construction com-
panies bidding on public work.
The petition of the Northern Califor-
nia Development Company for a writ
of mandate to compel the board of su-
pervisors of Contra Costa county to
place the company's application for a
$2,500,000 bridge franchise on the ballot
is to be argued in the supreme court
on November 24. The company con-
templates the erection of the bridge
acros.s Cari|uinez Straits to connect
the highway systems of the Sacramen-
to and San Joaquin Valleys. The su-
pervisors recently refused either to
grant a permit for the bridge or to
place the matter on the ballot.
U. E. Woods and J. D. Watkins have
purchased the electrical department of
the Ulmer Machinery Company at
I'orterville and will operate the plant
under the trade name of Woods-Wat-
kins Electrical Company. Watkins is a

be good on short time basis, but figur-

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-

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.
I'rotessnr Bugge has studied the re-
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

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-

pany plant at Hollister. Glenn Eron-
son, formerly located at Salinas, will

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.

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

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-

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-
lons, with sales totaling 29,467,400 gal-
lons.

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-
acteristics and properties as well as
the existing drainage conditions. In

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

Rebuilding Old Homes Now in Vogue
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.

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,

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-

an increase of 44.7 per cent as com-
pared with $213,471,309 in 1921, the
last preceding census year. The total

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

undoubtedly be a fair normal volume
of construction as compared with the
pre-war years.

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

Public Utilities Act includes municipal

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.

of the hour outstanding figures in the
industrial, commercial and civic life of
eleven western states will participate
in discussion of reforestation which is
to be one of the chief topics of the
midwinter conference of the Chamber
of Commerce of the United States. The
conference will be held in the Hotel
Alexandria, Los Angeles, December 2nd
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

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.

safely, which, under leader-

,.« working on plans to lessen traffic
aoridents.
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-
ive study and research of its problems,
both present and future. So declared
E. T. .\llen, forest economist of the
Western Forestry and Conservation
Association, in one of the principal
addresses before more than 410 regis-
tered members of the Pacific Logging
Congress in session at Portland, Ore.

The National Safety Council, 168
North Michigan .\ve., Chicago, has is-
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.

Legal Decisions
Material Mairx Lien Superior to
Ineuiiibroncers
Under section 3862. Rev. Laws 1910,
the lien of material man for material
furnished for the construction of a
building is superior to the rights of
incumbrancers or purchasers acquired
after the commencement of the build-
ing; and this applies to an incumb-
rancer or purchaser between the time
the building was commenced and the
furnishing of the material. — Sherbondy
vs Tulsa Boiler and Machinery Co.,

Paeific 564.
Subcontractwrs Loss of Wen
The loss of a mechanic's lien, under
C. S. § 2479, subsec. 4, for failure to
sue for its enforcement within six
months after its filing, does not defeat
the statutory right of the claimant to
sue the owner, who is liable to the
subcontractor under sections 2438-2442
for what he may owe the original con-
tractor, if notice was given before pay-
ment to him.— Porter v. Case, Supreme
Court of North Carolina. 122 South-
eastern 483.
Subcontractor's Action Against Con-
tractor
In a subcontractor's action against
the contractor for balance due for
driving piling in excavation work, an
amount representing that expended by
defendant in sending a man to hurry
up the delivery of piles could not be
offset against the contract price: such
expense having been incurred without
plaintiff's knowledge and consent, and
without putting him in default for
actual or anticipated delay in com-
pleting his contract.^Reynolds vs. Geo.

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

the American people and give to all

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.
LIMB PRICES CUT
San Jose Xews, under date of Oct.
27. publishes the following item:
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.

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

particularly to this subject, for home
building is subject to constant changes

that the tile bath-room, basement

cal features are modern, and if these
features were not built into a "per-

been aded without almost prohibitive
cost. There are styles in beams and

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-

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

Because of variations in tempera-

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.

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.

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-
ting it to operate for a full day instead
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
rapidly from place to place. Such an
outfit also may be used for rock drill-
ing on emergency jobs.
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-
ced Falls, where the mill is located.

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.

Some idea of the importance ot the
construction industry may be gained
from a report recently published by
the National Association ot Real Estate
Boards, which says that the amount of
money engaged in financing real estate
development in the United States is
greater than the total amount ot money
in circulation in the United States plus
all the gold and silver reserve in the
Treasury.
.A. report by the United States de-

1922, despite the introduction of the
eight-hour day. In 1922 full-time
weekly wages in blast furnaces aver-
aged 75 per cent above those of 1913.
and the present average is 90 per cent
above the 1913 average mark.

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-
dent, David E. Fryer; vice president,
David H. Williams; secretary, Sam
Hunter; treasurer, Arthur Houlahan.
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
DIWER MEET PLAXXED
A dinner meeting which w'ill bring
together representatives of all
branches of the construction industry
is being planned by the Los Angeles
Construction Industries Joint Com-
mittee. The meeting will be held early
in December on a date not yet fixed.
Lynn S. Atkinson, chairman of the joint
committee, lias appointed the follow-
ing committee to make arrangements
for the dinner: Ralph Homann. chair-
man; Harold McGee, E. W. Hokom and
I'atil Langworthy. Mr. Atkinson will
be ex-officio member of the committee
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.
Copies of this bulletin may be ob-
tained free of charge from the Forest
Service, Washington, D. C, as long as
the supply lasts.
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.
The cost of construction liuriiig Sep-
tember as indicated by the average

STATK WATFiK SI RVEY IS ItBING
COMPLETBD
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
in Ohio and Wisconsin, 6 in New Jer-

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-

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.

the handboolc will be sent on request.
"Factory Floor Surfaces" is the
second of the text books published by
the Aberthaw Company, construction
managers, Boston, and written by A. B.
MaciMillan, chief engineer of tlie com-
pany. The booiv discusses the various
kinds of factory flooring and the ad-
vantages, di.sadvantages, and special
uses of each. The important facts con-
cerning each kind of surface have been
grouped in tabular form. Specifications
also are given to indicate the require-
ments that must be observed in order
to insure satisfactory results in the
case of each of the standard t.vpes of
floor construction. For the text of the
hook Mr. MacIMillan has drawn from
the long experience of the Aberthaw
Company; and while the book offers
only the salient facts of floor construc-
tion, it does give sufficient information
to enable an owner to discuss floors
and floor specifications intelligently
with his architect or engineer. The
price of the book is $1, but is intended
for free distribution to engineers,
builders, and industrial owners. Copies
may be secured by addressing the Ab-
erthaw Company, 27 School St., Boston.

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-
way News.
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.
In order to retain the merits of the
rammed concrete pile without its draw-
backs, the Pressure Piling Company
Limited, of 50 Pall Mall, London, S.
BURLINGAME BUILDING ACTIVE
Basalt Rock Company of Napa plans
to issue additional stock to finance
plant' expansions.
Building operations in Burlingame,
principally home construction, have in-
creased approximately 450 per cent in
the past five years and are still climb-
ing steadily. This is shown in a tabu-
lation of figures completed by Build-
ing Inspector Walter Scott. The sum-
mary shows that there were approxi-
mately $400,000 in permits for 1919,
during which records were Itept lor
but five months and that permits for
the present year will total somewhere
around $2,000,000.
The tabulation begins with the
month of August, 1919, when the office
was established and the first Burlin-
game building ordinance went into
effect under Frank Lindsay, former city
building inspector. The first month of
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,-

WELL, OLD Capt. Phillips.
CLAIMED TO be a veteran.

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.

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.
BUILDING AND ENGINEERING NEWS Saturday. November 15, 1924
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

>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.

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.

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.

sult of the survey are as follows:

The practicability of including com-

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,
Detroit, Michigan.
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
15 cents a copy.

United States Gypsum Co., Chicago,
has issued a 16-page illustrated pam-
phlet on Sheetrock-Pyrofill construc-
tion for roofs and floors. This Is a
poured-in-place construction, m which
the composition board constitutes the
forms- reinforcement of the poured
gypsum is provided by electrically
welded galvanized steel fabric. One of
the advantages claimed for this ma-
terial is its light weight— 56 lb. per
cubic foot. •
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,
Minnesota, Montana and Washington,
all over $26.00. The following states
are lowest in weekly as in hourly
earnings— Georgia. $12.89. the Caro-
linas and Alabama, up to $14.81.
Average full time hours per week
are highest in these four Southern
states, which will Florida and Louis-
iana show a fraction over 61 hours a
week. Average full time hours per
week are lowest in Idaho — 48.3 hours;
and in Washington and Oregon — 48.5
hours.
Although the general Average of
wages is almost twice as high in the
West as in the South, head band saw-
ers in Florida get $61.49 per week as
compared with $55.29 in Oregon and
$55.34 in Washington. Head circular
sawyers likewise receive $63.40 in
Florida: $60.66 in Louisiana; $57 in
Alabama; and $52.42 in Washington.
All other classes of mill employees
were generally much lower in the
South than in the West, laborers re-
ceiving only $9.71 a week in Georgia
and $12.36 in Florida, compared with
$24.67 in Oregon and $25.76 in Califor-
nia.

In a survey of "Wages and Hours of
Labor in Lumber Manufacturing in the
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."

BUT TO keep Willie.

BAKERSFIELD, Kern Co., Calif. —
I'etitions seeking disincorporation of
XJakerstield Municipal Water District
and the establishment of a water sys-

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.

ALONG THE LINE
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.,

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

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

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.

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.

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,
Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Washing-
ton, and the remaining 27 in 15 other
States.
Here, There and Everywhere
CorrcNpondencc)
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,

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-

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.

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-
chise will take care of certain changes
in the law governing the financing of
toll bridges. The structure will be
approximately 5500 feet in length, 24
feet wide and will cost approximately
$2,000,000,
An injunction seeking to restrain
the Merced Irrigation District from
building the Exchequer dam, thus im-
pounding waters of the Merced river,
has been filed in the superior court at
Merced by seven plaintiffs represent-
ing the Dale and Cook ranch, near

ZATIOX ACTIVE IN ENLARGED
FIELD
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.
\bster. Vice President of the Asso-
itlon. The Rocbond Co.; R. W. Page,
■ i-retary-Treasurer ot the Associa-
■ n, Marbleoid Co.: H. E. Williams,
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
staff.

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

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

America, to broadcast a radio program
from the Los Angeles Times Broad-
casting Station (KHJ) on Tuesday
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.

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
families.

"Rules for Grading California Pine,'
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
a member." This decision was the re-
sult of a suit brought by an applicant
for membership in the International
Printing Pressmen's and Assistants
Union against the directors to compel
them to issue union card to him after
his application was rejected.

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-
usually well written, and the opportun-
ities offered to workers in the building
trades are clearly outlined. The vol-
ume is published by the John C. Wins-
ton Company, Philadelphia.
Acting in conjunction with the De-
partment of Commerce, several organi-
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-
visions of the agreement, will be 4
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
June 1, 1925, and will continue in effect
1 year, at which time will be taken up
again for correction any sizes that
might have been found to be less de-
sirable than some new sizes. The sizes
to be proposed to the trade by the di-
vision of simplified practice of the De-
partment of Commerce follow:

Union Lumber Company of Fort
Bragg has filed a complaint with the
Railroad Commission against Southern
Pacific Company, Northwestern Pacific
Railroad Company, and California
Western Railroad and Navigation Com-
pany, charging defendant with collect-
ing during the years 1921-22 and 23,
excessive rates on lumber and lumber
products consigned from Fort Bragg
to El Verano Lumber Company at El
Verano between Santa Rosa and Shell-
ville Junction on the line of Southern
Pacific Railroad, and asking reparation
for the alleged excessive charges.
Adrain Joyce, president of the Glid-
den Paint Company and interested in
the California Zinc Company, is re-
ported to have purchased the After-
thought properties at Ingot, Shasta
County, and contemplates mining de-
velopments. To handle ore from the
Afterthought a fiotation plant is to be
constructed at Bully Hill with a daily
capacity of 300 tons. An 8-mile tram
line from the Afterthought to the
Bully Mill smelter is to be constructed
and ore from the Afterthought con-
centrated at Bully Hill.
Seattle plant, properties and holdings
of the Washington Products Company,
5851 East Marginal Way, Seattle, have
been transferred, by sale, to the Schu-
macher Wall Board Corporation of Los
Angeles. The plant, it is said, will
continue to manufacture Washington
wall board, as heretofore, in addition
to Schumacher wall board. The latter
product is well known in the Califor-
nia field.
S. F. RUNS NINTH IN U. S. BUILD-
ING CONSTRUCTION
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
Company at Porterville has been
reopened. The plant was closed down
for repairs. Due to a slackening de-
mand for magnesite and kellastone
stucco products the working force at
the mines has been reduced to 35
where ordinarily from 85 to 90 men are
employed.
The McGilvray Raymond Granite Co.
of San Francisco has filed a complaint
with the Railroad Commission against
the Southern Pacific Company, asKing
reparations in the sum of $188.13, al-
leged excessive freight rates collectod
on granite from Hillside to Sacramento.
O. D. Arnold of Visalia, whose plan-
ing mill was destroyed by fire Oct. 8,
has purchased new equipment and will
commence operations at once in a new
plant in East Main street, Visalia.
The new quarters cover an area of 50
by 75 feet.
Brown-Bevis Company, Inc., 470 B.
Third St., Los Angeles, has secured
the exclusive agency on the Southern
California district for the Haslett
spiral chute.

be opened Dec. 20. Following the rejec-

advertising for new bids to be opened
on Dec. 20, 1924, for the construction
under changed specifications, which
provide for the building of the foun-
dation only of the river section of the
dam. The new sealed proposals will be
received at the office of the bureau of
reclamation at American Falls, Idaho,
up to 2 o'clock on this date. The revised
specifications provide for about 48,000
cu. yds. of excavation, the placing of
41.000 cu. yds. of concrete together
with the placing of approximately
600,000 pounds of reinforced steel, 237,-
000 pounds structural steel, and 1,700,-

were received at the original opening
on October 20, each covering different

city of 1,700,000 acre-feet capacity and
the other for a low dam with a reser-
voir, the capacity of which was to be
1 040,000 acre-feet of water. Their re-
jection led to the decision to open
new bids, confining them to the build-
ins? of the base of the river section of
the dam, the length to be later decided
bv the district. This change In plans
will not delay final completion. See

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
roads are a
good inv&stme.nt
— 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-

BUILDING AND ENGINEERING NEWS
Los Angeles City Council
Revises Plumbers' License Law
Ordinance No. 32,714. regulating the
business of plumbing and registration
of master plumbers in the city of Los
Angeles, has been revised and a new
section, No. 3, has been added. The
purpose of the amendment adopted by
the city council and approved by the
mayor Nov. 10, 1924, is to clarify some
ambiguities in the original ordinance
and to require owners taking out per-
mits to do their own work to file with
their applications affidavits of owner-
ship of the property where the work is
to be done. Following are the amended
sections of the ordinance as they now
read:
Section 1. It shall be unlawful for
any person, firm or corporation to en-
gage in or carry on, or to represent
or advertise himself, herself, itself or
themselves as engaged in or carry-
ing on, the business of sanitary plumb-
ing gas fitting or the laying of sewers
on private premises, unless such per-
son firm or corporation shall have
first registered at the office of the
chief inspector of buildings of the de-
partment of public works of the city
of Los Angeles and obtained a "certifi-
cate of registration" as a master
plumber as hereinafter provided.
Sec. 2. For the purpose of this or-
dinance a master plumber shall be
deemed to be any person, firm or cor-
poration engaged in the business of
plumbing and gas fitting and doing
plumbing work, gas fitting work, or
laying of sewers on private premises,
or doing similar work affecting the
sanitary drainage systems of any
house, building, structure or premises,
for the general public.
For the purpose of this ordinance a
journeyman plumber shall be deemed
to be "any person who is employed to
do plumbing and gas fitting work for
a wage or salary either by the day.
week or month, but who does not fur-
nish any materials or supplies in the
execution or perfoxmance of any such
plumbing and gas fitting work.
Sec. 3. The board of public works
shall not issue any permit, to aiiy per-
son firm or corporation engaged in or
carrying on the business of sanitary
plumbing, gas fitting or the laying of
sewers on private premises, to install,
alter or repair sanitary plumbing, gas
fitting or sewers as provided and re-
quired bv ordinance No. 2S,700 (N. S.)
until such person, firm or corporation
has first registered and obtained a
"certificate of registration" as provided
in this ordinance; and shall not issue
any such permit to any other person,
firm or corporation until an affidavit
sworn to before a notary has been
filed with the chief inspector of build-
ings stating that said person, firm or
corporation is the owner of the build-
ing, structure or premises where the
proposed sanitary plumbing, gas fit-
ting or sewer work is to be done; giv-
ing the location of the proposed work
by street and number or other equiva-
lent description; agreeing to personal-
ly purchase all materials used m said
proposed work; and agreeing to either
personally perform all labor in connec-
tion therewith or employ some one at a
wage or salary by the day, week or
month; provided, however, that an
owner may authorize his agent by a
power of attorney in each case where
a permit is required to sign said affi-
davit and act for him. Said affidavit or
power of attorney shall be verified
upon oath by a duly authorized of-
ficer of a corporation, a member of a
firm or copartnership, or if an indi-
vidual, by such person as the case
may be.
Sec. 4. Every person, firm or cor-
poration desiring to be registered and
to obtain a "certificate of registration
shall make application in writing to
the board of public works of the city
of Los Angeles, at the office of the
chief inspector of buildings, on blanks
furnished by said board for that pur-
pose.
Every such application shall give
the name and address of such person,
firm or corporation, and if a firm shall
give the names of the members there-
of and if a corporation shall give the
names of at least three of the principal
officers thereof, together with such
other information as may be deemed
necessarv by the said board of public
works. Such application shall be veri-
fied upon oath by such person, or if a
firm bv a member thereof, or if a cor-
poration by an officer thereof, as the
case mav be, or by the duly authorized
kgent o'f such person, firm or cor-
poration. „».,,„
Every such application shall state
the business proposed to be engaged in,
insofar as same is regulated by this
ordinance, and if such business in-
cludes the installation, alteration or
repair of sanitary plumbing, shall tile

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:

Traffic Control Committee Will
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."

ALONG THE LINE
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

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.

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.

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

(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
aturday. Dec.mbw 6, 1924 BUILDING AND ENGINEERING NEWS
liut has the strone endorsement of
Mierlcan exporters.
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-
iinel. This, Dr. Klein says in his re-
■ rt, Is due to a variety of factors.
H-h as more efficient methods of op-
1 .itloi), a greater systcniatization of
rvlce. and the growing efficiency and
-o with which the collection of data
nd the handling of Inqurles have pro-
eded.
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-

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.

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
barrel. Pumping instrumentalities are
within the barrel intermediate of the
entrance.
Morgan L. Sweeney, of Los Angeles.
METHOD OF SECURING JOINTS IN
STOVEPIPE CASINGS. This consists
of an improved method of joining over-
lapping metal plates, having a par-
ticular utility in the connection to-
gether of lengths of stovepipe casings
as they are lowered into a well, in the
securing of the joints a standard oxy-
acetylene welding equipment is em-
ployed. Mr. . Sweeney assigns his
patent to Union Tank & Pipe Co.
Robert W. Gunn and Willsie A. S.
Thompson, of Los Angeles. BALL
VALVE. This valve is commonly used
in connection with oil well pumping
apparatus. It is a ball guide designed
to conduce to quick and accurate seat-
ing of the ball. The object is to mini-
mize cutting out of the ball seat by
sand and grit, resulting from slow and
uneven seating of the ball at the be-
ginning of the upstroke of the plunger.
Ralph A. Wakefield, of Sacramento.
COMBINED REVERSIBLE HASP AND
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.
EVERETT R. BURTNETT, «f Los An-
geles. INTERNAL-COMBUSTION EN-
GINE. This relates particularly to an
engine of the two-stroke cycle type. It
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.
Burtnett assigns his patent to the
Automotive Valves Co.
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.
UNIVERSAL MACHINE VISE. This is
especially adapted for use on planer
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
without the use of screws or bolts.
Juluis Dreger, of Marysville. RIDGE-
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.

BUUjDING and engineering news Saturday, December 6. 1924
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
of the Western Safety Manufacturing Company,
Inc., which maintains offices and salesrooms at

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
Phone Franklin 94005
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

THE OBSERVER
WHAT HE HEARS AND SEES ON HIS ROUNDS
Governor Richardson's highway
rommittee-o£-nine, which was appoint-
ed early this year under authority of
the 1923 legislature to make a study ot
the road system and to report on a
nlan of future financing, has opened a
four-dav meeting in Sacramento, for
the purpose of formulating Its re-
port Meetings will be held in the of-
fice of the state highway commission
and will be presided over by Arthur H
Breed of Piedmont, chairman of the
Committee. It is believed 'hat _^ the
committee is certain to recommend an
increase in the gasoline tax from one
to two cents for new highway con-
struction. During its investigations
the members held conferences with the
boards of supervisors in every one of
the fifty-five counties of the state and
traveled approximately 20,000 miles.
Eleven full weeks were spent m tne
work, the first conference having been
held in San Diego in April and the last
in San Francisco in November.
A H Babcock, electrical engineer
of the Southern Pacific, with head-
quarters at San Francisco, is one of
30 scientific men invited by the Na-
tional Research Council to attend a
session of the American section of the
Inter lational Union of Scientific Ra-
diotelegraphy to be held at Washing-
ton D C, December 30. The meeting
will be in the nature of a clearing
house discussion of current progress
in radio wave research. The National
Research Council is the foremost sci-
entific research organization in the
United States.
Charles Peter Weeks and William
Peyton Day, San Francisco architects
and engineers, have filed suit in the Su-
perior Court against John P. McLaugh-
lin. Collector of Internal Revenue, for
the return of $9718 collected from them
as income tax on money they received
for professional services on two new
state buildings at Sacramento. The
architects assert they are Government
employes in the work and that as such
their pay is exempt from income tax.
Los Angeles has mapped a program
or $100,000,000 for street improvements.
One calls for the adoption of a city
wide street plan. The other requires
$5 000,000 to provide the city's portion
of carrying out the first unit of the
proposed traffic relief.
James Schaffer, retired lumberman,
for 35 years a resident ot Reno and
Sparks, Nevada, died in the latter city.
Dec. 8, at the age of 88 years. The de-
ceased was formerly prominent m
lumber and milling circles, but retired
from active business a few years ago.
Chas.. F. Lowy, deputy state labor
commissioner, has asked a committee
.nrfscnting various branches of the
building industry in Los Angeles to
assist Deputy City Attorney W. Perry
Thomas in drafting proposed legisla-
tion aimed to eliminate irresponsible
and unscrupulous persons posing as
contractors. The surety companies have
also been asked to name a representa-
tives on the committee. Legislation will
be sought in the form either of a state
law or city ordinance. Tentative sug-
gestions of the committee are for
licensing and bonding of contractors
and for an amendment to the mechanics
lien law which will afford better pro-
tection to building trades workers.
The Red River Lumber Company has
filed a complaint with the Railroad
Commission against Southern Pacific
Company charging the latter with
having collected excessive rates on
lumber shipped from Westwood, Lassen
county, to points in California. 29 to
43 miles distant from M'estwood, or the
same rate applicable to shipments to
Reno. Nevada, and Sacramento. 1.50 and
305 miles, respectively, from Westwood.
during the years 1922, 23 and 24. Com-
plainant asks reparation for the al-
leged excessive charges.
The Bakersfleld city council has
adopted an amendment to the license
ordinance in which contractors and
electricalmen will be subject to a
graduated license tax.
M. B. Pratt, California state forester,
was elected president of the Associa-
tion of State Foresters at the annual
convention of the officials held in New
Orleans, Louisiana, December 1st to 4th
The California State highway depart-
ment is now engaged in the compilation
of the biennial report for the period
ending June 30, 1924. It will be filed
with the Governor in the near future.
C. R. Madison, contractor, in ad-
dressing the Berkeley Realty Board,
pointed out the great strides made in
equipping buildings, particularly homes,
with conveniences unthought of a
quarter of a century ago. Madison de-
clares when he left Indiana University
in 1890, there was not a bathtub in
the town. Today, he says, we are
wiring for radio the homes which we
are building.
City Engineer M. M. O'Shaughnessy
of San Francisco estimates the cost of
the Eureka Valley-Mission-Sunset
Municipal Railway tunnel at $1,600,000.
The citv under the proposed plan of
financing, would pay $600,000 of the
cost, the remaining $1,000,000 to be paid
by property owners in an assessment
district.
Abolition of fees for building per-
mits is proposed in a resolution drawn
up by the Chico Real Estate Board
which finds that the chargl.ig of fees
has lowered the building estimates as
recorded on the building inspector's
estimates. On every $100 a charge of
$.25 is made.
Los Angeles Pressed Brick Company
is planning early construction of a
three-storv factory building in Date bt.,
Los Angeles, to replace plant recently
destroyed by fire. The structure will
cover an area of 200 by 200 feet. Plans
will provide for a five-story structure,
two additional stories to be constructed
at a later date.
Sugar Pine Lumber Company of San
Francisco announces $250,000 will be
expended in winter developments at its
camp in Pindale, Fresno County. The
work will include the erection of an
administration building, 142 by 123
feet. Enlargement of the mill pond is
also contemplated.
Rhodes-Jamieson Co., of Oakland has
purchased gravel property comprismg
135 acres in Murray Township, at Eliot
near Pleasanton, Alameda county, and
will establish a gravel plant on the
tract.
C. H. Snyder. San Francisco struc-
tural engineer, has been appointed by
the Sacramento city commissioners, as

ramento. Snyder has agreed upon a
flat sum of $3000, payable in six
monthly installments for his services.
He will act in the capacity of consult-
ant throughout the preparation of the
drawings and when the drawings are
completed he will make a complete
check of all computations and details.
Snyder is one of the outstanding struc-
tural engineers on the Pacific Coast.
He has handled a large number of the
important buildings constructed in re-
cent years. Some of the princial build-
ings are as follows: San Francisco City

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."

rrro^ T^m^M 'rnxT' Seasonal Unemployment and Its
"— — " "'^ """" Relation to Construction Costs
PROGRESS OP GAME
Added stresses In the steel reinforce-
ment of a concrete stadium due to the
vigorous enthusiasm of the crowds
were measured during a recent game
by means of the carbon resistance
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."
TIMBER DEAL. CLOSED
The sale of 750.000,000 feet of timber
in Clatsop and Tillamook counties, Ore-
gon, by A. S. Kerry of Seattle to the
Oregon American Lumber Company,
controlled by the Charles Keith in-
terests of Kansas City, has been con-
firmed by Kerry. The purchase price is
around $2,200,000. The American Lum-
ber company has an all-steel and con-
crete mill at Vernonia.
Another sale reported is that of the
Long-Bell Lumber Company of Long-
view, calling for 1,600.000,000 feet of
high-grade timber on the upper Cow-
litz river watershed in Southwestern
Washington, from the Weyerhaeuser
Timber Company at a price of $4 a
thousand feet. Confirmation of the
latter sale could not be obtained.

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

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.

production 93 per cent of normal, ship-
ments 99 per cent, and orders 122 per

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

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

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

crease in production and shipments and

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 &

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,

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.

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.

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.
CE.^IBNT CONTRACTORS BANQ,TJET
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
five-day week working basis, wher-
ever this Brotherhood has jurisdiction."
"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-

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.

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
V4 Square ',,',', ^250
% Round 307
?4 Round ^442
% Round .']; ^601
1 Round 735
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
southern yellow pine, which contribut-
ed 34.8 per cent of the total produc-
tion reported for the year, and Douglas
fir, which contributed 22.1 per cent,
their nearest competitor being western
yellow pine, with 7.5 per cent. With
the exception 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, were reported as
9,749,769 thousand feet, and December
31, 1923, as 10,548,087 thousand feet.

THE OBSERVER
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-
tives announces that during 1925 the
railroads of this country will spend ap-
proximately $1,100,000,000 for new
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.
Arthur W. Kinney, proprietor of the
Graham Iron Works, 2724 Santa Fe
Ave., IjOS Angeles, for more than a
year, announces that the name has
been changed to Kinney Iron Works,
under which future business will be
conducted. Kinney was manager of
the plant for five years before becoming
the owner.
L F Rhoades, general contractor of

successful and accurate use of turbines,
turbo-generators, synchronous conden-
sers, motor-generator sets, rotary con-
verters, and transformers. Improve-
ments in switching equipment of the
truck type and automatic-supervisory
control have been so made that today
they operate the machinery with better
results than when under manual con-
trol. The index of engineering
achievements covers 80 subjects, and
includes approximately 90 illustrations.

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
vice-president respectively, now has
plans in South San Francisco, Portland,
Ore., and Seattle, and the southern
California plant is a new link in its
chain. It was incorporated May 13,
1909, a consolidation of the Portland
Rolling Mills and the Seattle Steel Co.
Last May it increased its capitaliza-
tion from $1,000,000 to $6,000,000, and
distributed about two-thirds of the
new capital stock to stockholders. The
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 "
400 per cent stock dividend.
The company manufactures open
hearth steel products, and has an an-
nual capacity of 300,000 tons. It has a
working agreement and interlock ng]
directorate with the Metal & ThermitJ
Co , which has plants in South San
Francisco. East Chicago. Ind.: Carter"
and Jersey City. N. J.
The southern California plant has
canital stock of $1,500,000, with its
net income listed at $113,045 and its
■^ross revenue at $1,801,000. Its plant
is located between Verno" and Hiint-
iiiKton Park, and covers 25 acres.

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
people were present for the gathering,
representing all branches of the build-
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.
