TKST FOB ORfiA.MC IMPURITIES I\
SAXD FOR CONCRETE

An approximate test tor the pres-
ence of injurious organic compounds
in natural sands, intended for use in
cement mortar or concrete, was given
by the Committee on Concrete and
Concrete Aggregate.s of the American
Society for Testing Materials, in its
report submitted at the 24th annual
meeting of the society. Asbury Park,
N. J.. June 21-24, 1921.

The principal value of the test is to
furnish a warning that further tests
of the sand are necessary before they
he used in concrete. Sands which pro-
duce a color In the sodium hydroxide
solution darker than the standard
color should be subjected to strength
tests in mortar or concrete before use.
The test, which was submitted as a
"proposed tentative method," follows:

(a) A representative test sample of
sand about 1 lb. shall be obtained by
quartering or by the use of a sampler.

(b> A 12-oz. graduated glass pres-
cription bottle shall be filled to the
4^-oz. mark with the sand to be tested

(c) A 3 per cent solution of sodium
hydroxide (.NaOH) in water shall be
added until the volume of sand and
liquid after shaking gives a total
vo'ume of 7 liquid ounces,

(d) The bottle shall be stoppered
and shaken thoroughly and then
allowed to stand for 24 hours.

(e) A standard color solution shall
he prepared by adding 2.5 cc. of a 2
per cent solution of tannic acid in 10
per cent alcohol to 22.5 cc. of a 3 per
cent sodium hydroxide solution. This
shall be placed in a 12-oz. prescription
boit'e, stoppered and allowed to stand
for 24 hours, then 25 cc. of water
added.

(f) The color of the clear liquid
above the sand shall he compared with
the standard color solution prepared
as in Paragraph (e).

3. Solutions darker in color than
the standard color have a "color
value" higher than 250 parts per
million in terms of tannic acid.

Thicker Pavement Unnecessary,

Says Highway Commission

Following the refusal of the Cali-
fornia Highway Commission to permit
the California State Automobile Assn.
to dictate highway policies and to
determine the highway program, the
latter organization is continuing its
campaign of misrepresentation of
State Highway affairs.

The eighth statement of the Auto
Club compares the thickness of Cali-
fornia highways with pavements of
Eastern States, where freezing con-
ditions make necessary a thicker
pavement than has been laid in Cali-
fornia.

The Auto Club in its contention for
massive surface slab construction is
at variance with the best highway
engineering thought of the Nation
today. Highway engineers generally
have come to realize that permanency
in pavement cannot be obtained by
massive surface slab construction but
must be secured through perfecting
the foundation and drainage condi-
lions that lie under the slab.

Evidence of this is to be seen in
the fact that the r. S. Bureau of Public
l;oad.« has officially informed the Cali-
I'ornia Highway Commission that in
api>roving road projects for F'ederal
.Aid, it attaches more importance to
subgrade or foundation conditions
than it does to an extra inch or two
v( surface slab thickness.

Bearing on this question, it is a
further significant fact that the U. S.
Bureau of Public Roads has shown
neither hesitancy or unwillingness to
approve California highway projects
upon which Federal Aid has been
asked, and for which the plans have
been based on standard California
specifications of five inches of rein-
forced concrete.

In its published statement the Cali-
fornia State .\utomobile Assn. recog-
nizes that the thicker slab of Eastern
States is designed to meet frost con-
ditiors that do not exist here. How-
ever, it seeks to justify its advocacy
of a more massive and costly construc-
tion liere by reason of the presence in
California of adobe and clay soils. The
.Auto Club overlooks the fact that
while adverse frost conditions in the
East are universal, adverse soils here
are found on a relatively small per-
centage of the total mileage. To de-
sign unduly expensive specifications
for a larger part of the mileage to
meet conditions on the smaller part
of such mileage hardly appears like
a business-like procedure. This is
particularly so when it is realized
that thickness of surface slab in the
East has not prevented failures there
where highways have been built over
adverse soils. In fact it is the failure
of highways in the East, built under
heavy slab specifications, but where
the foundation soil conditions have

been unfavorable, that has turned
the eyes of highway engineers away
from the surface slab to the conditions
that exist beneath that slab.

In another bulletin the Auto Club
asserts that "the management of the
headquarters organization has been
wasteful and extravagant." The .'Vuto
Club refers to the report of the U. S.
Bureau of Public Roads taking care,
however, to avoid direct quotation
from that report.

If such direct quotation had been
made, the public would have been in-
formed that the U. S, Bureau of Public
i;oads after a most thorough investi-
.eation of highway administration in
California reported that the costs of
which the Auto Club complains had
been "most reasonable."

.An examination of the fiscal report
of the California Highway Commission,
including expenditures up to June 30.
l!'2it, .shows the percentages of total
expenditures of State Highway funds
to lie as follows:

Construction of highways: engineer-
ing, inspei'tion and surveys on
contracts; prclimirarv survey.*!.
91.786%.

.Machinery, equipment and stores.
3.429%.

.Administration expense at the 7
division offices, 3,067%.

.Admnis ration expense at h. ad-
ouarter.^. 1.71S%.

Total. liifl<?j.

Still another statement complains of
the width of California roads. The
greater part of the mileage of State
highways is today amply wide for the
traffic it is required to serve. .All paved
roads are designed so that they can be
widened when necessary without loss
of the original investme t.

Certain trunk roads no v need widen-
ing, but the opposition of the auto
clubs of the State in the last Legis-
lature lo the Morris Bill which pro-
posed to make the nominal increase
of $1 a year in Motor Vehicle fees on
the average passenger car but a very
substantial increase of such fees on
trucks, prevented the Highway Com-
mission from getting sufficient reve-
r.ue to do as much of this work as it
had hoped to do.

Xor should the fact be forgotten that
had the California Highway Commis-
sion built 20 and 24 ft. roads as the
Auto Club declares should have been
built, California today would have 750
miles less of paved State roads than it
now has. In other words, the paved
mileage of the State would have been
cut by one-third. The value of mileage
to California is emphasized in the re-
port of the U. S. Bureau of Public
Roads on the California highway sys-
tem. That report estimates an annual
return to California from paved State
highways of $20,000,000 on a total in-
vestment of $12,000,000.

11. G. Butler. State Power .Ad-
ministrator under the Railroad Com-
mission, has resigned to enter into
private engineering practice. Butler
had been with the commission for
eight years. Previously he assisted in
the building of the Panama canal and

directed tlie building ot .street car
systems in the middle west. He was
made power administrator at the
beginning of the war when the vast
amounts of power used for govern-
ment work necessitated a strict alloca-
tion of the remaining supply.

BUILDING AND ENGINEERING nIW^'

Saluiday, July 2, 1921

Oakland is without a city planning
commission, Mayor John L. Davie
having accepted the resignations of
the entire board. Behind the resigna-
tions is said to be a feeling that
Mayor Davie has not been interested
in the activities of the commission as
organized and that, with the coming
of July, when Davie will have control
o£ the Council, he will prefer to name
a new board. Members of the com-
mission which resigned are Bruce
Maiden, Harry Lafler, Roscoe D. Jones,
Wm. Knowles, F. F. Soderberg, H. L.
Hagan and Geo. Mattis.

Geo. W. MacRae, contractor and
builder, died in an Oakland hospital
June 22. following a brief Illness.
Mac Rae is conceded to have built
more structures in Alameda than any
other contractor. He was born in
I'rince Edward Island. For 35 years
he has been a resident of Alameda.

Speaking of "food for thought" we
might say that Los Angeles was second
among the cities of the United States
in building operations for the month
of May, 1921. with her new high
monthly record of ?7, 433, 760. New
York heads the list with a total of
$46,307,686, this amount covering 3941
projects. Long Beach, Cal., was
twentieth on the list with nearly a
million and a half, while San Fran-
cisco was twenty-fourth with a total
of $1,097,151. What's the matter with
.San Francisco?

Secretary of War Weeks has advised
Congress that improvement of Santa
Barbara harbor is inadvisable at this
time. This means that Federal Aid
for building of a breakwater at Santa
Barbara will not be forthcoming. The
fight for the improvement will not be
abandoned, however, by those who
have faith in the possibility of devel-
oping a harbor at Santa Barbara.

The S. P. Brick & Tile Co. of Fresno
has been incorporated with a capitali-
zation of $250,000, in dollar shares and
three of these subscribed by the in-
corporators. They are H. W. Shields
of Fresno. W. D. Trewhitt of Hanford
and L. E. Hayes of Exeter.

Prof. C. W. Cook of the civil engin-
eering department of the University
of Southern California, announces he
has opened an offlce for structural,
engineering and surveying at 3651
University Ave., Los Angeles. Prof.
Cook has had about ten years' expe-
rience in reinforced concrete, struc-
tural steel and timber construction,
and about the same as licensed
surveyor.

Contra Costa County Building Trades
Council is planning to enter the build-
ing material business. Preliminaries
for forming a permanent organization
are under way. Headquarters will be
maintained in Richmond.

The Interlocking Tile & Sewer Pipe
Co. is the name of a company organ-
ized at Indio with a capital stock of
$250,000 to develop ilay deposits near
Indio, Cal. Officers of the company
are J. A. Gordon, president; J. A.
Nelson, vice-president; J. P. McNally,
secretary; J. Win. Wilson, treasurer.

first of its kind in Tulare County, with
John Templeton heading the associa-
tion. Other officers are C. V. Hamil-
ton, vice-president; Geo. Simpson, sec-
retary; Carl Greenough, treasurer. The
idea of the organization, according to
the promoters, is to better serve the
public and especially to eliminate un-
necessary expense to the builder.

Oakland's waterfront earned $13,-
555.05 during the month of May. ac-
cording to a report submitted to the
City Council by City Wharfinger W. J.
Mastersen. Waterfront leases brought
$3063, dockage netted $3830, and tolls
earned $5509. A total of 395 vessels
arrived in port during May, w^ith a
tonnage of 259.730. Some 82,145 tons
of cargo were handled over the city
wharves, and 4,286,500 feet of lumber.

The Link-Belt Co. has acquired all
of the capital stock of the H. W. Cald-
well & Son Co., and Mr. Frank C. Cald-
well has been elected director of the
firm. The Caldwell plant will continue
to operate under separate corporate
existence and under its present name.

The A. J. Gordon Lumber Company's
mill, seven miles north of Dorris, Cal..
was destroyed by fire June 27. The
plans was valued at $60,000 and insured
for $20,000.

The Buffelen Lumber & Manufactur-
ing Company. Tacoma. is erecting a
$160,000 veneer factory, a $150,000
power house and a $50,000 planing mill.

A booklet covering the use of con-
crete for farm and home has been is-
sued by the Portland Cement Ass'n, 111
West Washington St., Chicago. Copies
will be furnished on request.

Harry C. Newkirk. former city coun-
cilman of Berkeley, has been named
Sanitary Engineer of that city to solve
Berkeley's garbage problem.

Building of American marine Diesel
engines on a large scale will be begun
by the Bethlehem Shipbuilding Corp.,
at its San Francisco and Alameda
plants, according to J. J. Tynan, the
general manager and vice-president of
the corporation.

Articles of incorporation have been
filed at Martinez by the Santa Fe
Bldg. Assn. Company is capitalized at
$50,000. Directors are August Bruns,
Alois Gadner, James H. Gibb, B.
Shapiro and F. W. McEwen.

Berkeley City Council has adopted
a new building code. The law was
drawn .up by a builders' committee
composed of Henry McCuUough, con-
tractor; James W. Plachek and W.
H. Ratcliff. Jr., architects; Professor
O. M. Washburn of the university; J.
W. Jefferson, secretary of the Board
of Public Works; Building Inspector
Robert Greig and City Engineer C. L.
Huggins.

Commission, holds that the members
of the commission are entitled to
traveling expenses, whether they come
in Sacramento on official business, or
their duties take them elsewhere. It
previously had been the belief that
only members of the Advisory Board
were entitled to such traveling ex-
penses. Webb says the commissioners
are carrying out the provisions of the
law and cherefore are entitled to their
expenses.

Articles of incorporation have been
filed with the County Clerk at Wood-
land, Cal., by the A. Meister Sons' Co.,
which proposes to take over the plant
of the defunct Pacific Car Building Co.
The concern is capitalized for $1,000,-
000. The Stockton Tractor Co. is a
party to the reorganization scheme.
The new.concern proposes to take care
of Yolo County capitalists who have
invested close to $1,000,000 in the
defunct concern.

In an effort to stimulate building in
Stockton the contractors, mechanics
and supply men of that city are
getting together on a general cost
reduction plan. It is said some very
gratifying progress has been made.

.STOXKS .'VBSOHB WATER

Stone is by no means impervious to
water. Some kinds, notably coarse
sandstones, hold a large percentage.
Even marbles absorb considerable
quantities. The absorptive capacity of
limestones ranges from 7 per cent or
more down to practically zero. Porous
limestones, in which the pore space
ranges from 10 to 15 per cent, will ab-
sorb from 4 to 6 per cent of water,
according to the United States Geolog-
ical Survey, Department of the In-
terior, whereas semi-crystalline and
crystalline limestones or marbles have
lower percentages of pore space and ot
absorption, such marbles as those from
Vermont, Tennessee and Georgia being
almost nonabsorbent. Pumice stone,
which is usually lighter than water,
owing to its great amount of pore
space, will absorb large quantities of
water; obsidian and volcanic glass,
which are of the same chemical com-
position as pumice stone, but several
times heavier than water, will absorb
none. Quartzite. granite and the num-
erous eruptive rock.^ are practically
impervious to water.

CITY PLANNING IS DONE BY
.AIRPLANE

Plotting, stree tstraightening and
extension by means of airplane photo-
graphs is one of the latest exploits
of the engineer's department of tlie
City and County of Honolulu. The
photographs were taken over to the
city under authorization from Major
General C. G. Morion, commanding the
Hawaiian department.

BUILDING AND ENWINKKKIJNU NKWS

WILL PAY NO KOYALTY ON ROAD
ROLLER VSE

The Associated Pennsylvania High-
way Contractors advises members to
make no move In the matter of paying
a royalty of |.'.0 per mile of completed
road where the Macon roncrete Roller
Company's patent roller was used. In
the Northern District Court of Georgia
the patent was held to be valid in a
suit against Brooks-Calloway Co.. At-
lanta contractors, and in publishing
this deci.«ion, the Macon Concrete
Roller Company announced its inten-
tion of collecting royalty where their
apparatu.s had been employed. The
Pennsylvania Association figures out
that rollers selling for J250 would yield
f25.000 in such royalties on 500 miles
of road work throughout the State, and
Iielieves this is "grossly excessive of a
proper charge for a roller which should
he sold outright at a reasonable protii.
provided the Georgia legal decision is
not overruled. Various estimates have
placed the cost of manufacture of a
roller to be between 55 and $10. Con-
.servative estimate of the life of a roller
would be 10 miles of road."

ROBIKSON RO.\D BILL IS P.iSSED
BY HOISE

After heated debate the House pass-
eil the Robinson Road bill, designed
)iarticularly to keep in good condition
highways improved by Federal funds.
.Although supported by a majority of
the House roads committee, the bill
was vigorously opposed by Chairman
Dunn and other members who argued
that it would benefit sparsely settled
states at the e.Kpense of populous ones.
Under the measure states would be
given three years in which to establish
funds of maintenance of Federal aid
roads, .'■"hould a state, after proper
notification, fail to make the specified
improvements the Federal government
would undertake the work at the
states expense, and until settlement
was made on further projects for Fed-
eral aid construction in that state
would be approved.

HIliHW.VY BODY TO MAKE STtDY
OF LIGHTING RO.tDS

The problem of providing proper
light for country roads is to receive
careful consideration in the construc-
tion of .the Ideal section of the Lincoln
Highway.

The great increase in the volume
of heavy freight trucking on main
routes between large centers, where
in many instances motor express lines
operate on regular schedules and fre-
quently at night along roads already
congested with a heavy passenger
traffic, has brought the question of
illuminating rural roads to the fore-
ground.

A number of important main high-
ways have been lighted for certain
distances through the open country.
but it is doubtful if a careful and
detailed .scientific study of the prob-
lems involved has as yet been made.

The methods employed to light such
highways as have been illuminated
have varied with the ideas and finances
of the many scattered counties and
communities undertaking such light-
ing and the results have frequently
been disappointing. In fact, many
drivers have complained that some
methods of lighting rural roads defeat
their own purpose in making the road
even more dangerous for night travel
than it it were left totally dark, and
drivers left to depend upon their own
headlights.

P. G. & E. Second Largest Gas

and Electric Company in U. S.

llliKr llyrdu-Elretrlf InHtnllatlonii. Report ShuivH tlllH)14,000 Expended in
ConHtriiction During Year 1920.

In the volume of its business the
Pacific Gas and Electric Company,
with $34,475,372 of gross operating
revenues during 1920. now ranks as
the second largest gas and electric
company in the United States, being
exceeded only by the Commonwealth
Kdison Company of Chicago, with gross
earnings in 1920 of $35,317,134. The
gross earnings of the Pacific Company
exceeded those of the New York Edi-
son Company, supplying the metropoli-
tan area of New York City, by $668,000.

The company's financial showing is
of especial interest to California in-
vestors, as approximately $105,000,000
of its stocks and bonds are held in
this State by more than 30.000 private
investors, savings banks and other
fiduciary institutions. The company's
statement that the amount available
for the payment of fixed charges was
$11,935,235, or 2.4 times all interest
charges, and that after the payment
of the regular 6 per cent dividends
upon its first preferred stock, aggre-
gating $1,777,933, there remained a bal-
ance of $2,142,026, will undoubtedly be
received with satisfaction by those in-
vestors at a time when many railways
and industrial enterprises of national
scope and importance, which do not
possess the inherently stable earning
power of gas and electric utilities un-
der depressing business conditions, are
now reducing or passing dividends al-
together. The company's 5 per cent
common stock dividend was al.so
earned by the comfortable margin of
$441,180.

As the company's earnings under
the existing system of public regula-
tion are based upon only a fair rate
of return on the value of it sproper-
ties and without any regard whatever
for the amount of stocks and bonds
outstanding, the company's statement
that its plants and properties account
at the close of the year stood at $164.-
655.623 should be extremely reassur-
ing to the company's security holders.
Of this amount $91,875,790. or almost
60 per cent, represents cash actually
invested in new construction and the
acquisition of properties in the last
15 years, as shown in detail in the
report.

The company's contribution to the
upbuilding of the material resources
of the State and the development of Its
agricultural, mining. manufacturing
and other basic industries is indicated
by the fact that it has either com'
pleted. or will bring to completion at
an early date. 138.741 h.p. of additional
hydro-electric installations, in addition
to 16.756 h.p. of additional electric

energy in its steam stations, a total of
155,497 h.p. Even before undertaking
these new developments, the company
was one of the largest owners and
the United States and the sig-
nificance of these figures may be
grasped by the fact that they actually
represent an additional generating
capacity equivalent to more than 50%
of its former water power capacity,
and more than one-third of its former
capacity if steam stations be included.
In this and other new construction.
$11,314,609 was expended during the
year.

Comparing costs prevailing in 1920
against pre-w'ar costs, fuel oil is shown
to have gone up 152%. labor 56%. taxes
163% and material.s 407,;. Contrasted
with this, the average revenue derived
from a kilowatt-hour of electricity
increased but 15.9% and from a thou-
sand feet of gas. 15.2%. The opinion
is expressed that a beneficial readjust-
ment of some of these costs may be
anticipated, and that when the new
hydro-electric plants on the Pitt and
Stanislaus Rivers, now under construc-
tion, are placed in actual operation,
substantial economies should result.
The company's customers are already
receiving the benefit in reduced sur-
charges of some of the economies
anticipated in this report. The amount
of the company's taxes in 1920 was
$2,558,799 or 21.69% of its net operating
income.

In pursuance of its policy of main-
taining its properties in first class
physical condition — a prerequisite of
the high standard of service expected
of California utilities- — there was ex-
pended for maintenance during the
year $2,740,210. in addition to $2,788,302
set aside as a reserve for depreciation.
Upkeep expenditures during the past
fifteen years have averaged more than
$3,000,000 per annum.

Conservatism in the management of
the financial affairs of the corporation
is indicated by the fact that in the last
fifteen years, less than one-third of
the net earnings w^as paid out in cash
dividends, no less than $40,726,000 of
net earnings having been used to re-
tire bonds, reinvested in the property,
or expended for replacement and re-
habilitation.

Net w-orking assets of $12,053,084 are
reported, including cash and United
States Treasury Certificates of Indebt-
edness of $3,078,402. This is a better-
ment of $1,050,702 in the company's
cash position as compared with the
close of the preceding year.

6800 employees and 677 motor ve-
hicles are employed in the operation of
the company's various departments.

Effed of Age on the Strength of Concrete

(Jent Icmen :

Through your columns you gave
some publicity to the report of the
U. S. Bureau of I'ublic Roads on
the ("alifornia Highway System.
The test on cylinders a.s made by
this agency showed lesser strengths
for some of the older concrete than
it did for some of the later, p'rom
this the conclusion was drawn (see
page 114 "A Study of the California
Highway System" by the V. S,
Bureau of Public Reads, 1920) that
concrete decreased in strengtTi with
age.

Prof, Duff A, Abrams, professor
in charge of the Structural Ma-
terials Research Laboratory of the
Lewis Institute, Chicago, than
whom there is no greate- .aii'hority
on concrete, draws conclusions en-
tirely different and I am attaching
herewith a copy of his discussion,
hoping that you will consider it ot
sufficient value to give publicity to
it through your va'ued columns.
Yours very truly.
ARTHUR P. DEXTOX.
District Engineer.

Figure 1 is reproduced from "A
Study of the ("alifornia Highway Sys-
tem," by the U. S. Ilureau of Public
Roads, 1920, page 114, Compression
tests were made on 4 14 -in. concrete
cores cut from the pavements. The
strengths have been corrected for
length of specimen a'^ compared with
their diameter and weighted on the
basis ot the number of tests included
in a given average. The report con-
tains the following comments on these
tests:

•■The strength ot the concrete is
very nearly constant for all pave-
ment classes, and, with the excep-
tion of Class A. the average for 1-2-4
concrete for the various classes is
higher than for the 1-2 '^ -5. The
general average for both 1-2^4-5 and
1-2-4 concrete decreases with age
with a single exception of 1-2-4 con-
crete at 4 years and I-214-5 concrete
at 5 years. In the ease of 1-2-4 con-
crete only 6 specimens were tested
at the age of 4 years, which may ac-
count for the comparatively high
results. In general, there seems a
slight tendency for the concrete to
decrease in strength with age. This
general tendency follows also with-
in the various pavement classes, al-
though there are several excep-
tions,"

The same diagram appeared in
"Public Roads" for April, 1921, in an
abstract of the above-mentioned re-
port, with the following comments:

"(b) That since the average cor-
rected testing strength of concrete
cores is above 3,000 pounds to the
square inch the concrete itself is
not generally defective in strength
nor does it show any wear bv
traffic.

"(c) The average class condition
of all concrete pavement indicates a
slow progressive deterioration with
the age of the pavement and indi-
cates also that the type built tend.s
to reach its approximate stage ot
classification comparatively soon and
thereafter to chang-e more alowlv.

"(d) The diagram showing aver-
age strength as determined by cores
tested from concrete laid during the
various years indicates that there
may be a slow progressive deteriora-
tion of the concrete itself, or
•fatigue' in a thin slab subject to
excessive flexure.'^

It seems to the writer that the
authors of the above mentioned reports
have misinterpreted this diagram when
they state that these tests .show "a
slight tendency for the concrete to de-
crease in strength with age^^ and "that
there may be a slovi' progressive de-
terioration of the concrete itself, or
•t'atigue^ in a thin slab subject to ex-
cessive flexure."

The writer can find no evidence
either in the reports of the Bureau of
Public Roads or elsewhere to indi-
cate that the compressive strength of
this concrete was reduced by "fatigue
in a thin slab, due to excessive flex-
ure.•' The first evidence of excessive
flexure would be a tension crack in the
concrete. It seems extremely unlikely
that enough of these cores contained
such cracks, even if in insipient form,
to cause a material reduction in com-
pressive strength, especially when we
consider that the cores were loaded at
right angles to the flexural stresses.

The writer places an entirely dif-
ferent interpretation on the tests in
Fig. 1. Instead of showing a progres-
sive deterioration of the concrete, it
shows that there has been a iiro^res-
«ive improvement in tlie qnallt}- of the
eonrrete during the period covered by
the work of the California Highway
Department — sufficient improvement in
tact to more than counteract the ad-
vantages ot age on part ot the older
concrete pavements. Although all the
work was done under the same speci-
fication, it is probable that increased
experience on the part of contractors
more careful preparation and pro-

portioning of materials, better in-
spection, and other factors of this
kind are responsible for the marked
improvement in quality of the con-
crete.

The notion that the strength of con-
crete deteriorates with age is based
on the results of tension tests ot
mortar briquets. In a paper on the
'•Effect of Age on the Strength of
I oncrete" published in the Proc.
American Society for Testing Ma-
terials, 1918, Part II, the writer showed
that briquet tests of mortars gave en-
tirely erroneous results, due to the
shape of the specimen in which (as
pointed out by Johnson in 1898 and
Coker in 1912) the stress across the
section is far from uniform. In other
words the falling-off in strength of
mortar briquets is due to the form of
Kpecimen and does not reflect the true
properties of concrete. Tension tests
of briquets practically always show
this result both for water or air
storage. On the other hand concrete
which is in contact with moisture con-
tinues to increase in strength indefi-
nitely. Tests were cited in the above
mentioned report up to 9 years. (See
"Concrete-Steel Oonstruction" by

Morsch). Under these conditions the
strength is a loganithmic function of
the age; in other words the strength
IS proportional to the logarithm of
the age, expressed in weeks or months.
Water is necessary for the con-
tinued hydration of cement. Con-
sequently, if the concrete dries out
there is little or no further increase in
strength. This shows the importance
of keeping concrete moist for several
days after it is placed. Tests report-
ed in our Bulletin 2, "Effect of Curing
Conditions on the Wear and Strength
"f Concrete," showed that the presence
of moisture during the first few days
exerted a most important influence on
tioth the strength and wearing re-

sistance of concrete.

A study of a large number of tests
made In the Structural Materials Re-
search Laboratory gives the relations
between age and strength of concrete
cured und.-r different conditions, shown
In Tiil>lf 1 and Fig. 2. The values are
platted to a logarithmic scale of ages.
Each of the values for damp sand or
moist air storage (Curve A) is based
on about 100 tests made in 6 different
series made over a period of about 5
years. The points for Curves B and
C are each the average of 15 tests. The
concnte was of mixtures similar to
that used in road construction.

Curve A illustrates the point made
above to the effect that so long as
moisture is present, the streugth of
the concrete is porportional to the
logarithm of its age. Both curves B
and (.' show that no material increase
in strength may he expected after the
conxrrete has fully dried out. The
strengths due to intermediate condi-
tions of storage will fall somewhere in
the region between Curves A and B.

If concrete is exposed to moisture at
any time after being dried out. the
hydration of the cement is resumed as
shown by the increase in strength of
the concrete. The process of harden-
ing is simply arrested during the
period when the concrete is dry. It
was shown by tests made at the Uni-
versity of Illinois and reported by
Prof. If. F. Gonnerman in I'roceedings
of the American Concrete Institute,
191S, p. 101, that specimens which had
been in dry air for 2 years showed a
rapid increase in strength when placed
in damp sand. In these tests there was
little or no increase in strength in the
air-stored specimens between 1 month
«nd 2 years.

Another valuable report will be
found in a recent paper entitled.
"Effect of Age and Curing Conditions
on Concrete — Results of 10-year
Tests." by Prof. M. O. Mithey, pub-
lished in the Wisconsin Engineer, Xov.
1920. and in Engineering and Con-
tracting. Xov. 24. 1920. These tests
showed that concrete cylinders stored
in forms for X days, sprinkled daily
until 14 days old. then placed out-
doors with ends in contact with damp
soil nave strength up to 10 years
which were only slightly less than for
similar specimens stored in water tor
the entire period.

In roads where the concrete may
I • ceive moisture from the damp sub-
-lade and from seasonal rains and

snows we would expect to And a grad-
ual ascent in the age-strength curv«
for an indefinite period of years. There
is no re;ison to anticipate a reduction
in strength with age, even in arid
regions. After a careful study of all
available data on the subject, the
writer can state with the utmost con-
fidence that under normal conditions.

Hydro-Electric Developments Urged

for an Industrial California

By NORMAN H. SLOANE
Mgr. California Industries Assn.

l^ower will determine the future of
California. The history of California
has been a story of the reclamation of
deserts and of the development of a
great agricultural State, but California
is now called upon to determine
whether it will remain simply an
agricultural State or whether it will
enter a period of commercial and in-
dustrial development.

The prerequisites for such develop-
ment are here. Raw materials for
fabrication are produced in abundance.
The location of California and its ex-
cellent harbor facilities make the
physical problem of the development
of foreign trade comparatively simple.
Production can be carried on the year
round in open air plants. The climatic
attractions of California will draw a
sufficient labor supply to the State if
industries are developed.

The benefits to be derived from the
diversification of the economic efforts
of the people of this State have been
brought into clear relief by the expe-
rience of the last six months. The
difficulties which agriculturists have
encountered, whether growers of rice,
fruits, beans, cotton, wheat, barley,
hops or live stock, would have closed
the doors of prosperity to any less
favored State. Permanent prosperity
cannot be assured as long as Cali-
fornia remains strictly agricultural.
Transportation rates are tending to
stifle California's agriculture. No mat-
ter what relief is given, the fact re-
mains that the raw products of this
State must absorb the cost of the
longest railroad haul in the country
if they are to be sold in eastern
markets.

In other words, California has about
reached the maximum stage of its
development in population and wealth
if agriculture is to remain the one
large industry of the State. The next
ten years will determine, therefore,
what the future of this State will be.

If growth is to continue through the
development of industrial life, there
are many problems to solve. Markets
for finished goods must be opened on
both the eastern and western coasts

of the Pacific Ocean. Transportation
facilities to consuming points must be
created. Capital must fiow to this
State in increasing amounts. But. first
and foremost. hydro-electric power
must be developed. There can other-
wise be no industrial California.

California is both fortunate and un-
fortunate in its power situation. Such
coal deposits as are available are com-
paratively small. In the past oil has
acted as the substitute for coal in the
development of power in California.
Now. however, there are unmistakable
signs that, as our population increases,
it will be neces,sary to very materially
conserve the existing supplies of Cali-
fornia petroleum — this in spite of pres-
ent increased production.

There is a bright side to this situa-
tion. The basis for the development
of an almost inexhaustible supply of
cheap industrial power is found in the
vast potential supplies of hydro-
electric power provided by the rain
and snow of the mountains and the
sufficiently forceful drop furnished by
the natural terraine of the mountain
sides of this State. Every additional
inch of water which is corralled for
the development of hydro-electric
power, not only increases the power
available for the industries of this
State, but also provides an additional
inch of water for irrigation.

Such development will be the only
answer which can be given the pros-
pective manufacturer. Such develop-
ment will determine w^hether Cali-
fornia will tend to stagnate as an
agricultural State or whether it will
open the doors for the development of
a great commercial. industrial and
agricultural State.

The hydro-electric problem is the
problem of every citizen of the State
of California. The burden of the
development cannot be carried by the
few men interested in the utility cor-
porations of California. In'tellig'ent
public co-operation with the utilities
which are attempting to develop the
power necessary to meet the needs of
the State of California, supplemented
by intelligent public supervision of
the utility companies, will clear the
way for industrial development and
continued growing, healthy prosperity
in the State of California. ,

Standardization of Products Sought
by U. S. Commerce Body

Construction Analyzed by

the U. S. Commerce Chamber

The subject of standardization of
luuiiufactured products as a means of
promoting efficiency and eliminating
waste is proposed by the American
delegation as a question for discussion
It the first annual meeting of the In-
T'ai'o-nl Chamlicr of Oommerce in
London this month.

A report on fabricated production in
lit- United States, which will be pre-
. nted at the conference, was made
uljlic recently by the American See-
on of the International Chamber.
STiindardization is strongly urged.

"In the lack of standards and ex-
cessive variety in production of com-
modities is found the prime cause of
stagnant stocks of commodities and
congestion in distribution." the Ameri-
can Committee says.

"The efforts of the United States
government with the co-operation of
industry in reducing this variety
durinK the war gave evidence of the
practicability of such an undertaking
and the benefits to industry.

"Standardization in the United
States as referred to in the report is.
at present confined to private initative
except as the work of engineering so-
ciptics and the Bureau of Standards of
the federal government maintained by
the United States.

'•Efforts are now being made to co-
ordinate this work, at least to bring
the adoption of agreed upon standards.
The Siandardization of fabricated pro-
ducts through elimination of excess
varifty, is still being considered by
certain industries, aided by their com-
mercial organizations. It is also being
considered by the Fabricated Produc-
tion Department of the Chamber of
Commerce of the United States.

"There is much opportunty in the
proper treatment of this subject to
promote greater efficiency in produc-
tion and to eliminate duplication and
waste, such as:

"Through the adoption of engineer-
ing standards as far as possible by
mutual recognition.

"Through co-operation in the elimi-
nation of unnecessary variety, styles
and sizes and kinds in commodity
lines."

In a special report issued June 17
by the Committee on Statistics and
Standards of the United States Cham-
ber of Commerce, of which A. W.
Douglas of St. Louis is chairman, the
total national wealth of the United
States is estimated at $28S,464.000.000,
of which $77,321,000,000 or 26.8% is
represented by the construction indus-
try. The report presents an analysis
of the relationship of construction to
the basic industries of the nation in-
cluding manufacturing, mining, trans-
portation, agriculture, trade and
finance, and concludes that construc-
tion as a key industry should be classi-
fied separately as one of the Nation's
basic industries.

25 Per Cent of Manufacturing: for
Constmctlon

The report shows that in 1914 one
quarter of the 276.000 manufacturing
concerns employing 10.658,000 workers
with an annual payroll of $5,368,294,000
and an annual output worth $25,000,-
000,000, was devoted to construction
products.

In 1920 90 per cent of all iron ore.
copper and zinc, and 95 per cent of all
lead mined was consumed by construc-
tion. Twenty per cent of the bitumin-
out coal and 5 per cent of the anthra-
ous coal and 5 per cent of the anthra-
turers of construction materials, by
the railroads In transporting these
products, and by traction lines and
public service corporations in service
corporations in service to construc-
tion workers. A rough estimate of the
value of these minerals is $4,400,000.-
000 engaging more than 1.000,000
workers at an annual wage of approxi-
mately $1,000,000,000.

Twenty-five per cent of the freight
transported by the railroads is con-
struction materials.

Eleven Millions Depend on
ConRtructlon

11,000.000 persons, either as workers
or as members of workers' families
are estimated to derive their living
from construction, either directly or

through manufaoturincT and mining
products used in the construction in-
dustry. The support given to agri-
culture and to trade by th-- annual
expenditures of this great number of
persons is estimated at more than
$5,000,000,000 for rent, fuel. food,
clothing, furnishings, recreation, etc.
Hnlf of >'en' Cnpltnl iNMueH for
Constrnetion

New capital issues during 1920 so
far as reported totaled $4,545,000,000,
consisting of State, municipal, railroad
and industrial securities, of which It
is estimated 50% were issued for con-
struction jn one form or another. A
considerable portion of the new cap-
italization went to pay oft maturing
obligations, which were reflected, how-
ever. In past construction to a large
extent.

Even this estimate does not cover
the whole field. It excludes indebted-
ness of the Federal Government for
construction, for which sgeregation is
difficult, and does not include issues of
foreign governments or municipalities
in this country, the proceeds of which
were to be used for improvement and
extension of their public undertakings.
This sum also is short a huge amount
of expenditure for new construction
because a great amount of expenditures
for additions to plant, structures, etc..
is paid out of earnings and surplus and
does not figure in the investment
market. With all these figures at
hand it appears that 24% of the year's
capital accumulations, and probably
50% of the national savings annually
go to construction.

Constmction — \ Basic Industry

Based on this analysis, the report
concludes that the construction indus-
try is a unique barometer of the state
of business in all Industry and as such
deserves a separate classification
among the basic indu.'^tries of the
Nation on a par with agriculture,
mining, manufacturing, transportation
and communication, commerce and
finance.

A super-power plant, which would
mean consolidation of all power re-
sources and the construction of a giant
transmission line through the North-
west, is being considered by engineer-
ing authorities from various parts of
the country, who are now in the
vicinity of Portland investigating the
feasibility of the proposition. At a
meeting held In Portland a survey
committee of engineers was organized
and upon the results of the coijimlttee's

investigation will depend the decision
as to whether the project will be
carried out. Eastern industrial and

Continuation of the policy of aiding
the State of California in improving
the highways of this state is an-
nounced. The United States Bureau of
Public Roads has signed with the
State Highway Commission for the ex-
penditure of the remaining money in
the allotment of $2,896,071.77 given to
California under the 1921 allotment of
Federal roads moneys. The money
will be spent on twenty-four State
highway projects in California.

All of the money available for Cali-
fornia under the ivil allowance Is
actually allotted to work under way
or agreed upon. The money that will
be available under the 1922 budget
will have been spent or agreed upon
before June 30, 1922.

Hydro-Electric Developments Urged

for an Industrial California

By NORMAN H. SLOANE
Mgr. California Industries Assn.

Power will determine the future of
California. The history of California
has been a story of the reclamation of
deserts and of the development of a
great agricultural State, but California
is now called upon to determine
whether it will remain simply an
agricultural State or whether it will
enter a period of commercial and in-
dustrial development.

The prerequisites for such develop-
ment are here. Raw materials for
fabrication are produced in abundance.
The location of California and its ex-
cellent harbor facilities make the
physical problem of the development
of foreign trade comparatively simple.
Production can be carried on the year
round in open air plants. The climatic
attractions of California will draw a
sufficient labor supply to the State if
industries are developed.

The benefits to be derived from the
diversification of the economic efforts
of the people of this State have been
brought into clear relief by the expe-
rience of the last six months. The
difficulties which agriculturists have
encountered, whether growers of rice,
fruits, beans, cotton, wheat, barley,
hops or live stock, would have closed
the doors of prosperity to any less
favored State. Permanent prosperity
cannot be assured as long as Cali-
fornia remains strictly agricultural.
Transportation rates are tending to
stifle California's agriculture. No mat-
ter what relief is given, the fact re-
mains that the raw products of this
State must absorb the cost of the
longest railroad haul in the country
if they are to be sold in eastern
markets.

In other words. California has about
reached the maximum stage of its
development in population and wealth
if agriculture is to remain the one
large industry of the State. The next
ten years will determine, therefore,
what the future of this State will be.

If growth is to continue through the
development of industrial life, there
are many problems to solve. Markets
for finished goods must be opened on
both the eastern and western coasts

of the Pacific Ocean. Transportation
faciliEies to consuming points must be
created. Capital must flow to this
.State in increasing amounts. But, first
and foremost, hydro-electric power
must be developed. There can other-
wise be no industrial California.

California is both fortunate and un-
fortunate in its power situation. Such
coal deposits as are available are com-
paratively small. In the past oil has
acted as the substitute for coal in the
development of power in California,
Now, however, there are unmistakable
signs that, as our population increases,
it will be necessary to very materially
conserve the existing supplies of Cali-
fornia petroleum — this in spite of pres-
ent increased production.

There is a bright side to this situa-
tion. The basis tor the development
of an almost inexhaustible supply of
cheap industrial power is found in the
vast potential supplies of hydro-
electric power provided by the rain
and snow of the mountains and the
sufliciently forceful drop furnished by
the natural terraine of the mountain
sides of this State. Every additional
incli of water which is corralled for
the development of hydro-electric
power, not only increases the power
available for tlie industries of this
State, but also provides an additional
inch of water for irrigation.

Such development will be the only
answer which can be given the pros-
pective manufacturer. Such develop-
ment will determine whether Cali-
fornia will tend to stagnate as an
agricultural State or whether it will
open the doors for the development of
a great commercial, industrial and
agricultural State.

The hydro-electric problem is the
problem of every citizen of the State
of California. The burden of the
development cannot be carried by the
few men interested in the utility cor-
porations of California. Intellig'ent
public co-operation with the utilities
which are attempting to develop the
power necessary to meet the needs of
the State of California, supplemented
by intelligent public supervision of
the utility companies, will clear the
way for industrial development and
continued growing, healthy prosperity
in the State of California.

JiEW ROAD MATERIAL

Contrary to past practice, composi-
tion road surfaces are being put down
by the French highway authorities in
the Rhone Valley. At Givors a test is
being made of two miles of an Italian
composition. This has a cement basis,
and is guaranteed tor fifteen years.
The road authorities have expressed
their willingness to experiment with
competitive types of road material. Of
33,000 miles of roads that required re-
pairs at the time of the armistice,
13,620 miles have been greatly im-
proved, and 2,200 miles have been com*

niJILDING MATERIAL PRICKS

The Southern Pine Association re-
cently sent out a questionnaire to 150
building material dealers in the largest
cities and most thickly populated com-
munities of the country. Some of the
results of the inquiry as given out by
the Association under date of May 31
follow: A preliminary summary of the
first 80 replies shows there is an ample
supply of building trades labor. Only
2 cities out of 80 report a shortage; 67
have sultlcient labor to carry out their
building programs, and 11 report un-
employment in this class of labor.
There had been reductions in wages in
only about half of the cities heard
from. The average reduction in wages
of carpenters and bricklayers in those
cities which have reported decreases is
from 15 to 20 per cent. Wages of com-
mon labor have been reduced more; 2f!
cities reporting reductions ranging
from 25 to 55 per cent. Nearly all re-
port a marked increase in the
etticiency. Light is thrown on the sub-
ject of reductions in the retail price ot
staple building materials, as compared
with a year ago.

REFERENDUM ON BRIDGE AT

GRIME.S UPHELD BY V. S. WEBB

The action of the Board of Super-
visors of Sutter County in entering
into an agreement with Colusa Coun-
ty for the construction of the Grimes
bridge across the Sacramento River,
which would connect Sutter and Co-
lusa Counties, is subject to referen-
dum, even though the counties pro-
pose to construct the bridge jointly.

This is according to an opinion by
Attorney General U. S. Webb to Dis-
trict Attorney Arthur Coats of Sut-
ter County, who asked AVebb's advice
in the matter after two referendum
petitions had been filed in his ofBce.
The petitions were directed against
the resolutions adopted at a joint
meeting of the Sutter and Colusa
County Boards of Supervisors on May
4, 1921.

Webb also declared in his opinion
that the referendum petitions were
filed within the time required by law.
In reply to a question put by Coats,
Webb expresses the belief that if the
Sutter Board of Supervisors should
repeal the resolution ot May 4th, there
is nothing in the law to prevent the
Supervisors in the future from again
taking action for the joint construc-
tion of the bridge.

n.^TA FOR C.\X.4DI.\\' L.AXD SALE
IS COMPILED

An undertaking that should prove of
interest to American holders of land
in Canada has been accomplished by
the Department of the Interior at
Ottawa, namely the listing of vacant
lands for sale in Western Canada to-
gether with particulars as to area
suitable for cultivation, nature of
soil, price, terms, etc. The value of
the information contained in these
lists lie in the fact that they place
the intending purchaser directly in
touch with those who, for one reason
or another, have been unable to culti-
vate their holdings and are, there-
fore, willing to dispose of same at in-
viting prices.

The availaljility of such land Is not
due to any lack of value, on the con-
trary, particularly in the prairie
provinces, such idle land is rich virgin
soil. When one considers Canada's
vast area, however, and its com-
paratively small population it is at
once apparent that a large portion of
the acreage which is in private owner-
ship must be unoccupied and, there-
fore, available for purchase at reason-
able prices. The lists have been pub-
lished by districts and may be ob-
tained fret- of charge upon application
to the Natural Resources Intelligence
Branch, Department of the Interior at
■Ottawa.

SBW.-VGE GREASE AS FLEL

The Surveyor. London, of May 27,
19!!1, reports that an experiment Is
being made with the grease extracted
from the sewage matter at the Esholt
sewage disposal works of the Bradford
Corporation, which can very easily
have an important bearing on the fuel
cfuestion. Hitherto the extracted
grease has been sold by the corpora-
tion to merchants who have used it
for the manufacture of varlou.s commo-
dities, but now a test Is being made to
ascertain the practicability of using It
tor UrinK boilers.

Date Set For San Francisco

Industrial Exposition

The Central Bureau of San Francisco
Organizations announces that the date
set for the Industrial and Civic
Kxposition is November 9 to December
10 in the Civic .\uditorium. It was
only through the loyal San Francisco
spirit of two large organizations which
bad engaged the auditorium for dates
in November that the Central Bureau
was able to obtain the Auditorium for
esposition which forms a vital part ot
the San Francisco Program of Dr. B. M.
Itastall. industrial engineer for the
.San Francisco Chamber of Commerce.

The two organizations which gave
way and postponed their dates were the
Native Sons of the Golden West, which
had plnnne<l to hold a bazaar in
.November for homeless children and
the Mystic Shriners who had chosen
a date in the same month for their
annual hall. Both, recognizing the
essential importance of the exposition
to San Francisco's advancement,
waived their prior rights to the use of
the .-Vuditorium, so that exposition
might have four clear weeks for its
educational purposes.

The Central Bureau had planned
originallj' to hold the exposition in
.September, but found that this would
conflict with the dates for the State
fair at Sacramento and to avoid clash-
ing with this event of state-wide in-
terest abandoned this plan. October
was found inipo.fsihie because the

.\uUitorium wa.s „i constant u.se during
I hat month, and .November was flnally
decided upon only after the two
organizations mentioned generouslv
withdrew their prior claims.
~The Central Bureau proposes lo
make this exposition of San Francisco's
industrial and civic activities the
greatest event of Its kind in the history
of fhe city. Fred S. .Nelson, chairman
of the publicity committee of the
Central Bureau calls allenlion to the
wonderful Pageant of Progress that
Chicago has staged on the lake shore
as the kind of exposition Kan Francisco
should hold annually.

■J'he importance of making the people
of the .Sar. Kranci.sco meiropolitan dis-
trict familiar with the wide varlely and
quality of the products manufactured
in this district is stressed by Dr
Rastall. He states:

"Only knowledge of the.se products
and appreciation of their quality and
price advantages are required in the
majority of cases to greatly increa.sp
local sales. A home products exposi-
tion, open house for visitors to plants
and permanent exhibits in special lines
Miould be provided for this purpose
The local market is of particular im-
portance to .San FrancLsco industries
because it is much :he largest both
in numbers and purchasing power in
the entiiie West."

In my opinion, the one thing upon
which the material prosperity of Cali-
fornia depends more than any other
is the economical, timely and intelli-
gent development of the hydro-electric
resources of the state, says Frank R.
Devlin, former president of the Cali-
fornia State Railroad Commission.

California more than any other state
in the Union, and |>erhaps. indeed.
more than any other section of the
world, has been blessed in natural re-
sources. First the lure of the mines
arrested the attention of the world
and beckoned the hardy pioneers to
the new Eldorado of the west. Then
came the transition from mining to
agriculture, followed by the marvelous
development of the deciduous and
citrus tYuit industry, and now the
state's magnificent harbors and the
rivers tapping its wonderful fertile
valleys presage a wonderful shipping
future, and it takes no great vision to
forsee its opportunities, facing as it
does the certain and comparatively
early development of the Orient.

It has always been recognized thai
the only serious handicap to Califor-
nia as a manufacturing state is th-
lack of cheap fuel. Nature in dis-
posing of her wonderful bounties was
most generous to our state, but Cal-
ifornia never possessed coal, either
in character or amount that would
be of any appreciable value in manu-
facturing industries.

Search for Cheap Fnel

With the <liscovery and develop-
ment of the California oil Helds somt-
years ago. it was hoped that this
important link, so necessary to tlii-
strength of California's chain of de-
velopment, was supplied. But the un-
certainty of oil production and the
ready absorption of the California
supply, abroad as well as at home,
reduced very measurably the hope
that California was ready to take her
position in the front rank in the manu-
facturing world, as she had in prac-
tically every other line of commercial
development. Today experts are en-
deavoring to estimate how long the
California oil supply will last, and
feverish effort is being made to dis-
cover other oil deposits throughout the
state. And at the same time engineers
and economists are endeavoring to de-
termine how long the supply in the
coal Helds will satisfy the demands of
the nation. Survey is being made of
the vast coal fields of Pennsylvania,
West Virginia and other coal producing
sections.

California has. however, in another
form and in an amount that is little
short of stupendous, potential fuel and
power that will, in my opinion, if in-
telligently developed, make California
the leader as a manufacturing state, as
it was in mining and as it is in fruit
raising.

AVater Power WaKted
The tremendous wa.Ue of power in
this state which has been flowing
down the mountain gorges and to the
valley streams and thence to the sea
in ttie form of unharnessed and un-

checked hydro-electric power Is
something almost appalling. Science
has demonstrated that these millions
upon millions of horsepower can be
brought from the mount.ain gorges
to the valleys to aid irrigation; to
the seaboard to aid manufacture; to
the railroads to facilitate transpor-
tation, and to the homes to make even
more comfortable the residents of Cal-
ifornia.

With the readjustment period
through which we have been passing
will come, in my opinion, an ab-
normal period of development. In-
dustry and manufacturing will he
promoted on a larger scales than
ever before. But the one thing that
the promoters of large manufactur-
ing industries will first demand he-
fore locating a plant will be sutticient
and permanent fuel or power. Plants
investing millions and tens of millions,
will look further than a fuel supply for
Ave years, or ten years, or ;;0 years; but
they make inquiry as to what the fuel
or power supply will be oij years hence.

Unquestionably the most permanent,
if not indeed the only permanent sup-
ply of power that nature guarantees
will be that of hydro-electric.

The Pacific coast possesses ap-
pro.ximately two-thirds of the po-
tential hydro-electric power of the
United Slates. Is there any question
as to the future of California as a
manufacturing state with this power
available and waiting only Ihi- de-
velopment and conversion from waste
water into electric energy'.' The answer
should be no; but the answer should be
qualified, and 1 again repeat what 1
said at the outset, namelly. that the one
thing upon which the material pros-
perity of California depends more than
any other is the economical, timely and
intelligent development of her Hydro-
electric energy.

Recofcnixes I'ossihllitlcM

Timeliness means now. That is, it
means an immediate recognition of
our iiotential hydro-electric power
possibilities and an anticipation ot
the demands which, if we are to ei'joy
the benehts of those resources, soon
will be upon us.

Economical development means com-
prehensive, business-like, scientific de-
A'elopment with due regard to iiroper
co-ordination of the various hydro-
electric developments throughout the
slate.

Intelligent development means a
recognition by the public that tlio de-
velopment of the hydro-electric re-
sources brings an added value, and
added income and added prosperity to
every resident of California whether
immediately engaged in the electric
development work; whether cultivat-
ing the fields or orchards: whether en-
gaged in merchandising in the larger
cities or towns of our state; or whether
indeed employed as an artisan in any
of the various industries ot the state.

Intelligent development can be had
only through a recognition by our
people of the fact that fair and honest
treatment must be accorded those who
undertake such work.

Asphalt and Its Use in Construction Work

By JOHN B. HITTELL, District Engineer. The Asphalt Assn.

Asphalt is the oldest adhesive agent
known to man, and was used as a
cementing medium by the ancients; a
mastic cast of molded clay and asphalt
has been found near the Euphrates
dating back tn the year 2850 B. (".
and as early as 2500 B. C. the Egyptians
utilized liquid or melted asphalt as a
preservative coating from the cloth
wrapping of mummies. Its water-
IjrooHng value was. also known at this
date and there is good reason to be-
lieve that the ark built by Noah was
treated with asphalt within and with-
out for this purpose.

Authentic records show that as early
as 700 B. C. it was employed by a
Babylonian king to fill the interstice.^
of a brick pavement. This must have
been a true natural asphalt, and which
undoubtedly occurred in the form of
springs and pools, such springs and
pools still exist, in some parts of Asia
but in too limited quantities for com-
mercial purposes.

Sandstone rock and limestone rock
impregnated with asphalt are found in
large quantities in Switzerland. Italy.
Germany and Sicily; Kentucky. Okla-
homa and Texas in the United States.
In 1854 the first compressed rock
asphalt pavement was laid in Paris in
rather a crude manner, and this was
followed in 1858 by the construction of
a pavement more nearly representing-
present practice. In 1869 rock asphalt
was first used in England to pave
Threadneedle St., London, and in 1870
it was used in experimental paving
work at Newark, N. J., opposite tlie
City Hall. Bituminous rock from
California was used as early as 1868
to cover an old wooden pavement in
Santa Cruz.

The results achieved from rock
asphalt pavements in this country have
been decidedly varied. Nearly all pave-
ments laid in the past five to twenty
years were put down with heated mate-
rial; the Kentucky producers advocate
the laying of their material without the
application of heat.

In the eastern part of the United
States in the early sixties sidewalks
and cross walks consisting of coal tar
mixed with gravel, broken stone, and
coal ashes were laid under a patented
process. In 1867 a small part of a
roadway in T'rospect Park. Brooklyn.
\vas paved wiih this material. The ex-
periment was so successful that in 1868
Ijcnox Road. Flatbush. Brooklyn, was
paved with a foundation 5 inches thick
consisting of 2-in. broken stone mixed
with sand, coal ashes and tar, and with
a wearing surface similar to that foun-
dation with the exception that no stone
larger than 1 inch was used. This
pavement lasted for almost twenty
years and when the street was repaved
in 18116 a part of it was found to be
intact and served as a foundation for
a new asphalt pavement. This street
is considered probably the first one
regularly paved with bituminous mate-
rial in the United States. This type
of construction gave good satisfaction,
but owing to the volatility of the tar
the streets had to be closed for a period
ranging from 30 to 60 days after com-
pletion in order to permit their use.

To overcome this the Abbott patent
consisting of a combination of roofing
jiitch and creosote was used as the
binding material and came in use in
1871. Streets in Washington and
Brooklyn were laid with this mixture
and were in good condition for 14 or 15
years; ps these pavements failed.

asphalt was laid over them and with
the previous example cited are the
pioneer examples of bituminous foun-
dations for bituminous pavements.

The first asphalt pavement laid in
the United States was in front of the
City Hall in Newark. New Jersey, in
1870, with Trinidad asphalt as the
cementing material. The result achieved
from a Trinidad pavement at Newark
and similar pavements in Philadelphia
and New York attracted the attention
of the authorities of Washington, D. C.
with the result that a special commis-
sion was appointed by Congress to in-
vestigate and report as to the possi-
bility of adopting them for that city;
it resulted that Pennsylvania Ave. from
First to Sixth Sts. was paveC with
rock asphalt by the Neuchatel Asphalt
Co. in '76 and '77, and from Sixth to
Fifteenth Sts. at the same time with
Trinidad asphalt.

In 1891 asphalt from Bermudez,
Venezuela, was introduced for paving
purposes. Woodward Ave. in Detroit
was paved with that material in 189'2.
It was found that both Trinidad and
Bermudez asphalts must first be sub-
jected to a rehning process in order to
remove extraneous material and when
thus refined must be combined with a
residual petroleum oil known as flux
oil, by which means an asphalt cement
of proper consistency or hardness can
be secured.

In the late nineties pavements with
asphalt obtained by refining California
petroleum were laid east of the Rocky
Mountains. Some of those were con-
structed in New York City between the
years 1897 and 1904, under long term
guarantees, and official reports put
the cost of repairs to January 1, 1914,
as ranging from nothing to two cents
per square yard. The asphalt cement
was known as California "D" grade.
Lafayette St., South Bend, Ind.. was
paved with this material in 1898.

With the growth of the petroleum
industry and the increased demand for
asphalt, petroleum relineries quickly
learned how to manufacture asphalt
from asphaltic petroleum. The first
commercial asphalt thus produced was
manufactured from California petro-
leum and was known as petroleum
asphalt to distinguish it from asphalts
produced in nature. After a compara-
tively short period of experimental re-
fining, it was found that high grade
asphalt could be successfull.v manufac-
tured from certain petroleums and that
the purity and consistency of such
asphalts could be scientifically confined
within very narrow limits. So. by a
single operation, asphalt suitable tor
any desired use is now produced,
which explains the ever increasing
demand for its use in highway con-
struction and for many other purposes.
Asphalt Refining Tank

Crude lake asphalt must invariably
be refined before it is suitable for use
in highway construction. The refining
process is conducted in large metal
tanks heated by means of steam coils
and equipped with perforated pipes
through which air or steam is forced
for the purpose of agitation, so as to
prevent local overheating and conse-
quent injury of the asphalt. The
chunks of crude asphalt are thrown
into the tank and melted. The tempera-
ture is then gradually raised until all
water and light oils are evaporated.
Vegetable matter floats to the surface
and is skimmed off while th'e coarser
particles of mineral matter settle at
the bottom. The refined asphalt n\ay

then be drawn off and barrelled. It is
invariably too hard for direct use and
must be softened to suitable consis-
tency by mixing it with a fluid petro-
leum product known as flux oil.

The fluxing process is sometimes con-
ducted in the original tank after the
crude asphalt has been refined. It con-
sists merely in agitating the asphalt
with the proper amount of flux until a
homongenous product of the desired
consistency is produced. When the
fluxing process is not carried out at the
refinery the refined asphalt must be
fluxed at the paving plant before it is
mixed with the other constituents of
the pavement.

Refining Trinidnd Aspiialt
The crude Trinidad asphalt contains
only 39% bitumen, or asphalt proper,
29% of water and gas, B% of organic or
vegetable matter and 26% mineral mat-
ter, mostly clay. When this material
is heated in the refining tank, water,
gas and volatile oils are evaporated.
Most of the vegetable and mineral
matter remains in suspension in the
asphalt and is therefore present in the
refined product. By loss of volatile
materials the percentage of bitumen is
of course increased in the refined
asphalt which remains behind. The
refined asphalt, however, contains only
58% of asphalt proper.

This refined asphalt being too hard
for direct use must be softened with
flux. Flux oil is entirely soluble in
carbon disulphide and is therefore all
bitumen. It is at once evident that
any combination of refined Trinidad
asphalt and flux must contain a greater
percentage of bitumen than the refined
asphalt. A typical combination shows
that the bitumen has been increased to
64%. This 64% then represents the
asphalt in the asphalt cement. As the
remaining 36% of organic and mineral
matter have no binding value it is evi-
dent that a greater quantity ot such
an asphalt cement will be required to
bind the mineral constituents of a
given yardage ot pavement than if the
asphalt cement were all bitumen.
IVtrnleuni Stills
Asphalt is refined from crude
asphaltic petroleum in 50.000 gallon
cylindrical iron stills, set horizontally
and heated from below. Inside they are
equipped w'ith perforated pipes through
which stealn is forced during refining.
The process is very simple and quite
similar to that described for lake
asphalt except that, because the vola-
tile products have considerable com-
mercial \alue. they are carried oft from
the top of the still through a vapor line
and condensed in water cooled coils.

The temperature of the oil in the
still is never allowed to exceed 600 or
700° F. and this coupled with steam
agitation prevents injury to the
asphalt left behind. As distillation
progresses the material remaining in
the still becomes more and more
vicious until finally a somi-solid or
solid residue is produced. Distillation
is stopped when the asphalt has
reached the desired consistency. No
fluxing is therefore necessary.

In the manufacture of asphalt fillers
tor brick pavements it is customary to
blow air through the melted asphalt at
a certain stage in the refining process.
This produces a higher melting point
asphalt than would be produced by a
straight steam distillation. Except tor
water which is removed by distillation,
petroleum is practicall.v pure bitumen.
It therefore follows that petroleum
asphalt is pure bitumen, and its use

GOOD ROADS MOVEMENT

IS BRINGING RESULTS

By C S. Lee, Director, Highways
Information Service, New York.

A bulletin of the National Lime Asso-
ciation notes that the expansive force
developed by the slaking of quicklime
'can readily be utilized to break up old
masonry. The method suggested is as
follows: Drill a good-sized hole in the
wall — making this bottle shaped with
as small an opening as possible. I'ut
in quicklime until this hole is almost
ftill and make a tight-fitting wooden
plug that can be driven firlmy itito the
opening. Quickly pour in enough water
to slake the lime and drive home the
plug. The expansion of the lime as it
slakes will exert a tremendous pressure
that will easily break up an ordinary
piece of masonry.

■" Motor truck legislation designed to
protect highways against overloading
constituted the dominant feature in a
number of state legislatures, the ses-
sions of which have recently been
concluded.

In Ohio one of the most bitter legis-
lative fights of the session was held
over the Burke Act. This measure was
opposed by commercial trucking in-
terests and while the Governor ven-
tured (he suggestion that its terms
were too severe, nevertheless he sign-

' ed the hill when literally thousands of
messages were sent to him asking for

' its approval. Motorists in Ohio who
favored this bill insisted that trucks
were largely unregulated and the
small tax they paid did not recom-

— pense for the damage done.

Under the Burke Act. violators

^.iahere possible are fined under local
order where they can be taken im-
mediately to court. Otherwise, over-
loaded trucks are ordered off the high-
Avays. So popular is this measure that
it is said there will be literally thous-
ands of volunteers to see that the
statute is obeyed.

In Wisconsin the outstanding
feature of a bill to regulate truck
traffic is found in a proposed classi-
fication of roads under three heads.

Class A are high type roads and the
load limit is placed at twelve tons.
California's load limit Is fifteen tons.
For Class B the load limit is seven
tons and for Class C three and one-
half tons.

Classification of roads is determined
tiy the Wisconsin Highway Commis-
sion for the State highway system and
by local authorities for local roads.

' Tn Maryland, if a truck load cx-

■ ceeds the weight allowed under the
statute, which is ten ton gross weight
of mehicle and load. the driver is
forced to unload the excess weight at
once and leave such excess weight by

^ the road.-'ide or wherever he may he
when the traffic officers discover the
overweight.

Through the use of loadmelers. the
necessity of taking a truck to a
Btationarv ■<cale is avoided.

The growth of "The Good Roads
Movement" in the United States and
Canada since its organized inception in
1880, and with the great stimulus it
received in the periods immediately
following the advent of tlie automobile
and the appearance of the motor truck
has been so rapid, so extensive and so
effective that highway construction to-
day constitutes one of the greatest, if
not the greatest, problems in American
economic life.

There are now 1702 organized
agencies actively and directly pleading
the cause of good roads. The agitation
to date has brought about the construc-
tion of 310,000 miles of surfaced high-
ways— raising the highway mileage of
the United States to a, 478, 552 and that
of Canada to 255.000.

The automotive industry. fourth
largest in the country, with 368 manu-
facturing plants capitalized at $1,204.-
378,642 and employing 325,000 work-
men; having an annual output of 2,205.-
197 passenger cars and trucks valued
at ?3, 594, 814, 620, and supplemented, as
it is, by moo firms producing auto
parts valued at $300,000,000 a year, to-
gether with 1000 firms manufacturing
annually 35,000,000 tires valued at
51,000,000.000, is absolutely dependent
upon highway improvement for its
stability and upon increased road
mileage for greater expansion. In
addition. 33.000 distributors of auto-
mobiles are involved as well as 45.800
dealers in automobile accessories and
35,000 dealers in tires. So great, too,
has the road building industry become,
in consequence of the demand for im-
proved roads, that there are now 7500
contracting firms engaged in actual
construction work. The roads are now
traver.^ud by 9.211.295 licensed cars and
trucks, of which 3,000,000 are used on
the farms. These cars consumed
3,200,000,000 gallons of gasoline last
year.

Prior to 1880. when Amos G.
Batchelder, late chairman of the
CAtcuiive board, American Automobile
Assn. at Washington, with H. S. Earle
of Detroit and other pioneer advocates,
organized the League of American
Wheelmen and began a systematic cam-
paign, a good roads enthusiast was
looked upon with undisguised curiosity
or amusement as something of a "nui '
— a loquacious, but, no doubt, well
meaning person who might be seen but
not heard. Usually he was promptly
"sat down upon ' by a lugubrious tax-
pa.ver.

Opposition gradually melted away,
however, as the campaign became more
fully organized and extended. Since
1880 more than $3,000,000,000 has been
spent for highway improvement in the
United States and Canada. More than
$1,300,000,000 is now available and
$1,500,000,000 additional will be neces-
sary to carry out projects under con-
templation. And yet. with all this, only
a beginning has been made. Billions
more must be expended before the
country has anything like a highway
system adequate to the traffic needs.

The great demand for good roads and
the [irogress made in road building has
evolved many types of hard surfaced
roadway, of which the bituminous are
in greatest general use. The poi)Ularity
of these types, especially those of Ih'-
sheet asphalt,' the asphaltic concrete
and asphaltic macadam, is due to their
long wearing qualities, resiliency
against traffic impact, dustlessness.
nolseles.sness, cleanliness and low cost

of upkeep. Brick and concrete roads
have also developed with the agitation
as have the wooden block and granite
block types. The most recent available
figures give 42.11 per cent of the sur-
faced roads in the United States as
being of gravel. 25.22 per cent as of
macadam, 17.16 per cent as of sand-
clay. 10.98 per cent as of asphalt and
other bituminous materials. 3.91 per
cent of concrete and 0.62 per cent of
brick. The figures for the asphaltic
and brick types — a total of 15.53 per
cent show the extent to which the citv
types of pavement have been adopted
in the rural districts. The wooden
block and the granife block types do
not appear to have progressed as yet
beyond the city boundaries.

The extent to which the dustless
types of pavement are being adopted is
further shown by testimony given re-
cently before the Senate Committee on
Post Offices and Post Roads at Wash-
ington by Thos. H. MacDonald. chief
of the United States Bureau of Public
Roads, whose tabulations showed th.-it
107 Federal aid projects completed and
paid for to May 25. this year, were
roads built of bituminous materials.
These highways were constructed in
Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas. California.
Georgia. Idaho. Indiana. Kentucky.
Louisiana. Massachusetts. Michigan.
Maine. Minnesota. Missouri. New York.
New Hampshire. North Carolina. Ohio.
Oklahoma, Oregon. Pennsylvania. South
Carolina. Rhode Island. Texas. Verni-jni
and West Virginia. Additional Federal
aid highways of the .same types have
been approved and are under construe
tion in Kansas. Maryland. Tennessee.
Virginia. Connecticut. Wisconsin. New
Mexico. Utah. Florida. Montana and
Wyoming. Illinois. New Jersey and
Nevada have lately included bituminous
roads in their future Federal aid
urogram.

According to other figures cnmpileiT
by the Federal Bureau there arc now
22.030 miles of Federal Aid roads in
the United States. These have cost
$361,946,868. Latest figures compiled
by The Asphalt Assn.. New York, show
that $343,678,712.36 were made avail-
able in 569 new highway bond issues
by states, counties, townships, i-o.nii
districts and municipalities in May and
June this year. This makes $1,343,678.36
now available for road work in thi-
United .States during the next tv.-ti
years.

It has been only by the most per.'-is-
tent efforts on the part of the advocates
and the formation of militant organiza-
tions everywhere that "The Good Roads
Movement" has been carried to ii.s
present high estate. The automobile
and the motor truck have done more
to form a favorable sentiment than any
other agency.

While State ro.nd building iiolicies
were nothing new. In view of the action
inaugurated by Kentucky in I.S2I whi.n
resulted in the completion of 343 mile-
of State roads by 1837, very lit lie had
been accomplished by any of the
states or the Federal tJovernmenl iw-
yond the construction of the toll roads
and the old "National Road" from
Cumberland. Md.. to SI. Louis. Mo. The
■ latter was begun in 1806. during the
administralion of Thomas .lefTerson.

The first State .lid law was passed
by the New Jersey Legislature in 1891.
The next year "The National L'-agiie
for Good Roads' was formed to con-
duct a vigorous campaign for the
establishment of a P'ederal highways
bureau. In 1893 the Deparlmenl ot
.\griciilture, in acoord:iiioe with ati act

GOOD ROADS MOVKMK.VT

(Continued from page 7)

of Congress approved March 3. 1893.
established the Office of Road Inquiry
to Investigate systems of road manage-
ment throughout the United States.

The automobile was introduced from
1895 to 1900, giving the movement an
impetus that pushed it far to the
front. The introduction of the motor
truck in 1904 sent it forward to even
greater heights. The following year
New York State took the lead by
appropriating J50.000.000 for good
roads. In 1912 the first Federal Aid
Convention was held by the American
Automobile Assn. at Washington and
Congress established a joint committee
to go into the whole field of Govern-
ment participation in road work. That
year. too, Congress appropriated
T500.000 for improvement of selected
post roads. Individual local and State
highway offlciais established in office
in the meantime, began their agita-
tion. New Jersey establislied tilt first
State highway commission in 1892. and
Massachusetts followed in 1893. not
only with a commission but a State
highway system. Today 48 states liave
highway departments.

Many national organizations sprang
up, chief among which were the
American Highway Assn.. the American
Road i;uilders' Assn.. the Automobile
(Chamber of (,'ommerce. the American
Assn. of State Highway Officials, the
Associated Highways of America, the
Federal Highways Council, National
Highway Traltic Assn., the National
Highways Assn., the National Park
Touring Assn.. the United States Good
Roads Assn., the Public Land .=:tates
Highways Assn.. the Tri-State Good
Itoads Assn. the Canadian (Jiood Roads
Assn. and others.

Of the agencies that are now llghiiim
for highway Improvement, 56 are
organized movements for the construc-
tion of certain national or Interstate

highways, 16 are national or Interstate
good roads associations, 34 are State
organizations, 304 are automobile asso-
ciations and motor clubs, 260 are road
contractors, material or machinery
trade associations and engineering
societies. 32 are motor truck and auto-
mobile trade organizations and 131
agencies are publications devoted to
the movement in one form or another.
In addition, there are 735 chambers of
commerce, merchants' associations and
boards of trade having good roads
committees and 135 national trade or
industrial associations having stand-
ing committees which frame the
policies ot those organizations in
matters pertaining to highway im-
provement.

Interest on the part of nearly
10,000,000 automobile and truck owners
as well as the owners of 6,000.000 teams
of horses and mules regularly using
or working on the highways, not to
mention the smaller numbers of Fed-
eral. State, county, district and munici-
pal highway officials, engineers, con-
tractors, manufacturers of machinery
and materials, rural mail carriers, re-
sort owners, farmers, merchants, real
etstate dealers, motorcyclists, bicyclists
and others directly interested, has
given to the movement strengtli so
great that no politician, national.
State or local, dare refuse to listen
when there is an honest demand for
road improvement. At least 30.000.000
Americans are now advocates of good
roads.

Speaking on the question of "Hand-
ling and Shipping Brick." at the re-
cent convention of the .National Brick
Manufacturers' Association at New
Vork. Robert Twells Jr.. of Schenec-
tady, N. v.. said;

•The amount of shading of the brick
is largely dependent on the ideas or
thf architects. It is well to avoid as
many shades as possible. The archi-
tects are beginning to realize th;it a
polychrome effect is prettier, and easier
to secure than a single shade. It is
usually close enough where brick of
one shade are wanted, merely. Pick
out the culls and the brick that are
either extremely light or dark in color.
Where mixtures of blacks, browns, and
reds are wanted, it a good plan to mix
the brick by having the men load so
many courses on their wheelbarrows
from one kiln and so many from
another kiln or pile. With a little in-
genuity this can usually be done with
little additional work.

"In the case of the common brick it
always pays to be careful as to
whether the brick are hard burned. It
there is any doubt in the matter, the
brick should he sorted out and sent to
an inside job. It an order calls for
kiln-run commons, enough hard-burneil
nrick should be sent to form a face. It
is a very poor policy to send salmon
brick to a job where hard-burned brick
should be used, just because the buyer
will accept them.

"The brick manufacturers should use
every means to induce the builder to
handle the brick as they should he
handled, and to lay them properly. It
often happens that the manufactvirer
handles the brick properly, only to find
that the contractor is allowing them
to be dumped out of a truck or is lay-
ing salmon brick in the face. Such
things are very much the business ot
the brick manufacturer, since they can
only result in the giving of the whole
lirick business a bad reputation."

TIMBER .\S REIXPORCEMEXT FOR
CONCRETE

A few years ago the idea of using
wood for the purpose of reinforcing
concrete was embodied in a patent
granted to Mr. G. O. Case, who sub-
sequently read a paper on the subject
before the Society of Engineers. Quite
lately Signor Viscardini. an Italian
engineer, has been considering the em-
ployment of wood for the s.ime purpose
in reinforced concrete beams. The re-
inforcement proposed consists of longi-
tudinal strips of timber, nailed to-
gether at the edns and at intermediate
points, and placed suitably for resis-
tance to tension in the lower part ot
a beam. Stirrups for resistance to
secondary stresses are formed of ver-
tical strips of wood, sometimes nailed
to upper longitudinal strips serving
I he double purpose of keeping the
stirrups in place and ot acting as com-
pression reinforcement. The vertical
members can be utilized further by
allowing some of the lower ends to
project through the under surface ot
the concrete, where they act as plugs

lor the attachment of ceilings and
linings. — Times Engmeering Supple-

BRICK M.WUFACTl'RERS REPORT
LARGER TRAUE

There has taken place in the com-
mon brick industry of the country an
average price reduction, from the
peak, of 33 per cent, according to the
monthly digest of the Brick Manu-
facturers' Association of America. At
the height of the demand for materials
a year ago a composite price taken
from the reports of the membership ot
this association, representing 60 per
cent of the country's production, gave
the hgure of $24 per thousand. By
January, 1921, the price had settled
down to $20.05, and from that point has
slowly but steadily gone down until
a composite price, taken from current
reports as of May 1, shows the figure
to be $16.11. This is practically a one-
third reduction in the price of brick.

The lowest price quoted in any sec-
tion of the country comes from the
Southeast, where keen competition
has even outdone Chicago, which, due
to its favorable quality of clay ana
high plant etftciency, usually holds
the record for minimum price. Some
brick have been sold in Mississippi
and Georgia which did not net tne
manufacturer at plant more than $9 a
thousand, and this, according to the
best cost information available, is
many dollars below the actual cost
of producing the brick. Chicago still
maintains the *12 price delivered on
the job, and the Hgure that may fairly
be said to represent the price in most
sections of the country, where busi-
ness is conducted with a view ot
protit, would be about $17 delivered
on the job.

mits for the month of June at an esti-
mated cost of $261,450. This is a de-
crease of 66 permits and $301,253 as
compared with the estimated cost and
permits of the preceding month.

Comparing with the permits for the
month of June, »920, the above shows
an increase of 66 permits, hut the total
estimated cost for June. 1920, exceeds
June, 1921, by $61,855, showing a large
drop for this year. This may be due to
the drop in prices of building ma-
terials.

CLASSIFYING THE HIGHW.\YS

That a public road building policy
requiring road classification according
to function as well as responsibility
for construction and maintenance is
necessary in order to carry on success-
fully a good roads program in this
country is the gist of a treatise issued
recently by the Nebraska Dept. of
Public Works on "How to Get Good
Roads." The classification policy, the
Nebraska officials point out, has been
found upon adoption abroad to be a
highly successful one for highway im-
provement.

"That which has secured roads over-
seas," says the bulletin, "should secure
them here. First, there is the country
road. Its primary function is to serve
county needs. While its function is
vital — linking farm and market — its
Use is mainly local. The county, there-
fore, should assume responsibility for
It. It should be built and cared for
by county funds. Exception should be
made of certain roads in the counties
whose function places them in another
class — that of State or Federal roads.
Second, there is the State highway, the
aggregate of which constitutes the
State highway system. These are the
roads which, while serving local needs
in the counties have for their primary
function highway service to the State
as a whole. The system is usually
planned to connect the county seats
and all these and the various sections
of the State with the State capital.
The State, therefore, should assume
responsibility for these roads. They
should be built and cared for through
State taxation. Exception should be
made of certain roads in the states
■whose function places them in a third
class, that of national roads.

"Third, there is the national high-
way, the aggregate of which will con-
stitute the syrtem of natlon:il high-
nays. These afe ihe roads which.

WATER LEVELS IN WELLS

OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA

The prosperity of Southern Califor-
nia depends largely upon its supply of
ground water, for a large part of its
water for both irrigation and domestic
use is obtained from the ground. In
1905 about two-thirds of the irrigated
land in this region was supplied with
such water, and since then the propor-
tion has probably increased. In 1909
the area irrigated in Los Angeles,
Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino
Counties amounted to about 342.000
acres, and in 1919, according to pre-
liminary data published by the Bureau
of the Census, It had increased to
about 542,000 acre«.

Obser vat Ions of Water Levels by
U. S. Geolnglcnl Survey

In 1900 the United States Geological
Survey, Department of the Interior, be-
gan studies of the occurrence, amount,
distribution and use of the ground
water in this highly productive region,
and it has been publishing the results
of these studies in its series of water-
supply papers. Reports have been pub-
lished on the water resources of San
Bernardino Valley (Water - Supply
Papers 59. 60 and 142). the foothill
belt (No. 219), the coastal-plain region
(Nos. 137. 138 and 139), the San
Jacinto and Temecula basins (No. 429),
and Western San Diego Countj' (No.
446).

Observations of the fluctuation of
the water table in this region have
been made for more than 20 years.
The depth to the water level is meas-
ured at stated intervals in about 250
wells. In most of these wells only
two measurements a year are made —
one in the spring, when the water
level is generally highest, and one in
the fall, when it is generally lowest;
but in a few wells measurements are
made at shorter intervals. The data
thus obtained are valuable in showing
the extent of the depletion of the
ground-water supply at times of light
precipitation and heavy pumping and
the extent of replenishment of the
supply at times of relatively heavy
precipitation.

Hecent Low Levels

During the last five years the pre-

cii>itation lias been below the average,
and in most wells the water level has
consequently been gradually lowered.
From July 1. 1920. to May 10, 1921, the
precipitation was only about three-
quarters of the normal. Measurements
made in the spring of 1921 show that
in many wells the former water level
was not regained during the preceding
winter but was lower than it has been
since the measurements were begvn.
Although much of this lowering Is
due to the scant precipitation, it Is in
some places due in part to overdraft
on the supply, and even if a period of
wet years recurs it is doubtful whether
in (hese places the water level will
rise to its former height.
Coiiipllntlon of Water-Level Records
All the Geological Survey's records
of water levels in wells in Southern
California down to the end of 1920
have recently been collected and pub-
lished as Water-Supply Paper 468, en-
titled "Records of water levels In
wells in Southern California," by F. C.
Ebert. This report contains also dia-
grams showing the fluctuation of the
water level in several wells and the
relation of the fluctuation to the pre-
cipitation at nearby points and to the
discharge of San Gabriel and Santa
Ana Rivers. It Includes a large map
of the region, which shows the loca-
tions of most of the wells measured.
This report may be obtained by apply-
ing to the Director. U. S. Geological
Survey. Washington. D. C, or to tb*
branch office of the Geological Survey,

Veiv Gronnd-W'aler Studies BeKnn
The great increase in the use of
ground water for irrigation in South-
ern California has given rise to many
serious problems, and in order to aid
in .■solving these problems the United
States Geological Survey plans to con-
tinue its ground-water studies on a
larger scale. Additional wells are be-
ing selected for observation, and meas-
urements are being made at more fre-
quent intervals. In this work the Geo-
logical Survey Is co-operating with
State and county officials and with
many water companies.

while serving county needs. State
needs and inter-state needs, have for
their primary function highway serv-

eign and Domestic Commerce the of-
ficial tender forms, .specifications,
drawings. and contract conditions,
which the bureau is placing on sale at
its offices, 734 Customhouse. Now York
City, and 1424 First National Bank

SIPPI.IES FOR .\RGENTIX.*

The commercial attache at Buenos
Aires, Mr. Edward F. Feely, in a recent
report states that bids on furnishing
7,000 ions of steel rails for the Argen-
tine States Railways were opened May
20. The lowest bids of the different
nationals were as follows: German, ap-
proximately 61 gold pesos per 1.000
kilos, c. i. f., Santa Fe: Belgian, 57.90
gold pesos: American, 81 gold pesos.
The (Jerman and American firm oflTered
to deliver 3.000 tons monthly, while the
Belgian firm promised only 2.000 tons.
Up to June 1 the contract had not been
closed, but it was thought probable the
business would go to the Belgian bid-
der. The average quotation of the gold
peso during May was $0.72 United
Slates currency.

The Bethlehem Steel Co. announces
further reductions in the price of steel.
E. G. Grace, president of the company,
said "present manufacturing costs do
not in any sense warrant these reduc-
tions, but this company desires to con-
tribute even more than its full share
to re-establish conditions in the steel
trade on what might be regarded as a
normal basis."

The company's recently announced
15 per cent reduction in wages, be-
comes eftective July 16.

The new prices show the following

changes:

Bars, cut from ?2.10 to $1.90; struc-
tural shapes, from $2.20 to $2: plates,
from .$2.20 to $a; sheet bar, from $39 to
$35; billets, 4x4. from $37 to $33; slabs,
from $38 to $34; blue annealed sheets,
from $2.8.5 to $2.65; black sheets, from
$3.75 to $3.50; galvanized sheets, from
$3.75 to $3.50, and skelp, from $2.20
to $2.

"The new prices are a reduction of
$4 a ton on bars, structural shapes,
plates, skelp, billets, sheet bar, slabs,
and blue annealed sheets; $5 a ton on
black and galvanized sheets.

"Those items account for an increase
in present day costs over pre-war costs
of $20.59 a ton on finished products,"
he said. "The new price of $44.80 for
structural steel is equivalent to a pre-
war price of $24.21 a ton, or $1.08 a lb.

IMVERSITY OF CALIPORNI
tOlRSE IN SURVKYING

Surveying, taught by correspondence
in a way that will be helpful to sur-
veyors who want to brush up on
theory, to architects and engineers, and
to men working in surveying parties,
is a course just completed by the
Extension Division of the University
of California. This course, "Elements
of Surveying," is similar to other
technical courses given by the Univer-
sity extension department, and gives
theoretical training to men who have
a practical knowledge of the subject,
or fundamental instruction to person.')
who can not attend college.

The course is conducted from Room
301 California Hall, Berkeley. It has
been prepared by Chas. C. Swafford.
instructor in Civil Engineering, and is
practically the same as that given on
the campus at Berkeley.

The assignments include instruction
in the measurement of lines; and in
the adjustment and use of the com-
pass, transit, level, and other survey-
ing instruments. Methods of land sur-
veying, plotting, and note taking are
carefully described. No textbook is
required for the course, nor does the
student need to possess instruments,
though the assigned field problems can-
not be performed without them. This
elementary course is to be followed by
one of a more advanced character
covering topographic, hydrographic,
railroad and mine surveying.

.V new use for reinforced concrete is
proposed by Mr. Robert Drummond. the
Surveyor to the Upper District of the
Renfrewshire County Council. "Horse-
shoes," he says, "cut the sealing coat

of bituminous roads, and when the sur-
face Is broken the rubbershod wheel
rapidly causes disintegration and cor-
rugations. The problem may, how-
ever." he states, "be solved by the In-
troduction of wheelways. and experi-
mental lengths of reinforced concrete
tracks are to be laid In the Paisley and
Cowglen roads, and If the scheme con-
tinues successful it may meet the dif-
ficulty of carrying mixed traffic and at
the same time provide a foothold for
horses." — Municipal Engineering. t.on-

about 25% of the total tonnage of the

they took the position that the claim
that building would be stimulated by

FIREPROOF SCHOOI-HOI SES

There is now a shortage or school-
hou.ses. just as there is a shortage ot
buildings for business and residential
purposes. The great movement ot the
people to the cities during the past few
years, when building operations have
been so severely curtailed, has. of
course, tilled existing school buildings
l(* overflowing. In many localities
school is being held in portable and
temporary structures and ill some
places in churches.

There has been ample time for the
lirojjer planning of new school build-
ings, so when construction of this type
of buildings is resumed the errors ot
the past should be avoided and we
should build lietter than ever before.
What remains oi the idle period should
lie utilized in proper planning.

Surely the time has come for the
fireproof schoolhouse. Kvery school
building, containing 4 rooms or over,
should be built of the highest type of
(Ire-resisting construction.

With the need for new school
buildings so clearly defined, there is
no excuse for cheap or flimsy con-
struction. There must be no more flre-
traps built for helpless school children.

Highways in Washington State will
be patrolled regularly after August
1 by 2.^ men who will travel on motor-
cycles but who will not be "speed
cops." Their organization will be
known as the Highway Protection
Force and their duty will be to pre-
vent misuse of the roads and to en-
force highway rules adopted by the
last Legislature. One duty will be to
report sections of roads in need of
repair.

Bonds of $197,307,359 Voted For

Road and Street Projects During

Month of June

According to figures from reports to
the Asphalt Assn., Xew York City, for
the month of June, 1921. compared to
figures for May. provision for future
lujfhway work in the United States and
Canada, took a big spurt during the
month just closed. During June a
total of n79,307,359.36 in new bond
issues for roads and streets were re-
ported from 310 states, counties, town-
ships, road districts and municipalities,
compared to $164,371,353 from 259
similar divisions of Government having
charge of highway work. This is an
increase of $14,936,006.36 for June over
May. making a total of $343,678,712.36
in new bond issues over and above the
$1,000,000,001) previously available, or
a grand total of $1.343, 67s, 712. 36 now
available for highway work in the
I'nited States and Canada.

The reports show that greatest
interest in highway improvement
exists in Alabama. California, Florida,
Connecticut, Idaho, Illinois, Kentucky,
Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota,
Mississippi, Missouri, New Jersey, New
Vork, N. Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania,
S. Carolina, Tennessee, Texas. Virginia,
Wisconsin and Wyoming. The southern
states especially have been coming to
the front. Pennsylvania, however, now
leads the country in funds provided.
Alaska, Arkansas, District ot Columbia,
Maine, Nevada, New Hampshire, N.
Dakota, Rhode Island and Vermont, the
figures show, are providing, on the
other hand, very little in new bond
issues and apparently are taking little
interest in highway construction. Ohio
leads the states in tlie number of new
bond issues, having reported 63 in June
and 49 in May, a total of 112. Xew
York follows with a total of 52 and
Pennsylvania was third with 44. North
I'arolina reported 36 and Texas 35.
Virginia led in amount of bond issues
for June, reporting a total of $51,419,000
last month as against $S10.000 for May.
I'cnnsylvania was second for June with
a total of $26,078,000 and New York
was third with $23.634,S60. Texas re-
ported June bond issues of $13,286,000

The Senate Committee on Naval
Affairs has favorably reported the bill
(S. 32) for the relief of contractors,
sub-contractors and material men who
have suffered loss by reason of Gov-
ernment orders.

The bill seeks to provide means for
reimbursing contractors under the
Navy Department, on contracts made
between the declaration of war and the
signing of the armistice, for losses and
damage caused by governmental action
Section 1 covers claims on contracts
entered into between April 6. 1917. and
November 11. 191S. inclusive, and re-
quires that such claims shall be in
writing, verified under oath, and shall
be submitted to the Secretary ot the
Navy within six months from the date
of approval ot the act.

Section 2 prohibits claimants whose
entire volume of business with the
Government during aforesaid period
yielded a net profit of not less than 6
per cent from obtaining the relief
carried in the hill.

Section 3 authorizes the Secretary of
the Navy to obtain data, to make rules
and regulations, to summon and exam-
ine witnesses, and to procure the books
and papers of claimants, in carrying
out the duties of the act.

Section 4 authorizes and directs the
Secretary of the Navy to decide, find,
fix. and determine the sum due any
claimant, and also directs that in like
cases should it be found that any liqui-
dated damages are due the Government
against such claimants the Secretary
of the Navy shall so find.

Section 5 appropriates the sum ot
$25,000 to enable the Secretary of the
Navv to carry out the provisions of
the "bill.

Similar legislation has already been
enacted to apply to contracts of the
Post Office Dept., public buildings work
under the Treasury Dept., and rivers
and harbors and other War Dept. con-
tracts. This bill does not seek to
legalize informal contracts, but only
to open the way for the correction of
apparent injustices which have arisen
under contracts formally entered into
and which were not foreseen when the
contracts were made.

The measure has the approval of the
acting secretary of the navy, and the
following is quoted from his letter of
June 8, 1921:

"I am strongly in favor of legislation
of this kind which will do justice to the
contractors and still safeguard the
interests of the Government. I urge
speedy action by the Congress. These
claims have been pending for some
time, and, with many of the small con-
tractors, their allowance may mean the
difference between solvency and In-
solvency. Our inability to meet all
the claims works a hardship that
should be removed as soon as may be."

It is an old saw that "every cobbler
should stick to his last" but Lawrence
Mauran. former president of the Amer-
ican Institute of Architects, believes it
still holds good in the case ot archi-
tects. In an address before the As-
sociated General Contractors of
America at their recent convention at
New Orleans, Mr. Mauran said:

"There are some architects today
who advise their clients that a gen-
eral contractor is an unnecessary
'middleman,' and they undertake tor
the owner those functions which
they conceive are all that the gen-
eral contractor has to offer in ex-
change for a very substantial profit.
My own belief is that these men are

wrong — that their viewpoint is nar-
row and warped, possibly by un-
fortunate experiences with individual
contractors, whose aim was obvious-
ly the extraction of the maximum
profit while the service rendered
was that ot a broker. I believe that
every cobbler should stick to his last,
and so I can no more see the ad-
vantage to the owner ot such a
method than I can see the propriety,
in these days of highly specialized
effort under competent guidance, ot
the course of an architect I know
who prides himself on doing per-
sonally every branch of the work,
foundations, design, structural engi-
neering, plumbing, and all the engi-
neering of every description. The
result is not happy, as a whole, nor,
I understand from competent critics,
in many of its parts."

XO CVT — XO BUILDIXG

Flat refusal on the part ot building:
trades unions at St. Louis to accept a
general 20 per cent wage reduction, or
any suggested reduction, caused the
Master Builders of that city to publish
a communication advising the public
not to undertake any construction proj-
ets "until such time as the workmen
accept a wage that is more in harmony
with general conditions as they now
exist."

Judging by the St. Louis newspapers,
this action has stirred up a great deal
of comment. The Master Builders say
that $40,000,000 worth ot new construc-
tion is held in abeyance on account ot
high costs. The wage dispute with the
labor unions has been going on since
January 1 and the employees have been
imprevious to all arguments for a wage
scale based on payment of $1 an bour
tor skilled mechanics.

MR. ARCHITECT, MAVBE YOU CAN

TELL rSf

Why is wall space In the modern
home shunned like the mumps or
appendicitis?

Possibly they will answer utilitarian-
ism— possibly they will say that people
want it that way — possibly they will
say that they, the architects, want
things that way. What is the result?
N'o pictures in the average home. The
modern home has no space for pictures.
They get in the way of the "inlaid"
things, the built-in things, the built-
out things, the arches and the solid oak
things that are strewn about the in-
sides. usually as meaningless and as
useless as the stufted bird under a
glass dome that used to grace grand-
ma's solid marble center table in the
o!d home parlor.

In the average apartment, one with
his knife or pencil point, if he be of
an inquiring turn of mind, can find
some remarkable products inlaid in
the walls of the room. It is just as
likely that behind a mirror, if said
mirror is pried away from the wall,
a folding bed will drop down or a
flreless cooker set or a bird bath will
be revealed. What is home nowadays
without a built-in cupboard with a
mirror and leaded glass and a big place
where the dust can lodge? What is
home without its golden oak archway
or its missionized built-in bookcase?
Here is a chance for a wall space —
but no — seven dinky little leaded glass
windows shatter it and make rest im-
possible. Rest — there is no resti
Everywhere the eye turns, new won-
ders leap at it. shatter the lines that
might make for peace and quietude and
then run away new wonders to per-
form on the bookcase or the mission-
ized oak archway or the vacuum
cleaner tube connection hiding coyly
in the baseboard.

• Artists are painting pictures the
size of postage stamps in order to
make sales at all. A picture 12x18 in.
is about the limit that can be sold. A
canvas 30x36 in. is impossible.

Artists will tell you of instances of
times on end where pictures might
have been sold except for the fact thac
the purchasers had no place to hang
them. There is little of the restful
bealuly that comes from the association
of good pictures in the average modern
home. In a measure this typifies truly
the modern tendency — business before
beauty — utility before restfulness. The
brief against the architect, as held by
the artist, is a long one. — Bricklayer.

Mayor Snyder has approved the or-
dinance authorizing the Los Angeles
Board of Pubilc Service to sell the
Monolith cement plant to the L'. S.
Potach Co. for 54.50.000. This company
is now operating the plant on a live
year lease and the first annual rental
of J22.000 will apply, under the terms
of the agreement, on the purchase
price. The Monolith plant was built in
1908 to supply cement for the construc-
tion of the aqueduct. Monolith is 220
miles north of Los Angeles in Kern
County. During the period is was
operated by the city, from March, isn'j
to March. 1913. 8»»,884 bt.ls. cement

POTTERY PRODUCTION IN 1920

VALUED AT $105,700,000

A preliminary statement made public
by the United States Geological Sur-
vey. Department of the Interior, shows
that the pottery industry of the coun-
try in 1920 was in a prosperous con-
dition. The value of the product, ac-
cording to Jefferson Middleton. was
the greatest yet recorded. Xo sta-
tistics of the quantity of ware pro-
duced are collected, but it is believed
that not only was the value of the
products the greatest in 1920 but that
the bulk also was probably the largest
ever made.

The demand for pottery during the
early part of the year was unprece-
dented. The dearth caused by the re-
duction of imports during the war and
the inability of the domestic producers
to supply the demand created unusual
conditions which prevailed throughout
the year, some plants having enough
orders on hand at the beginning of
1920 to keep them busy nearly the
whole year. The continuation of the
demand is the more remarkable in view
of the large increase of imports of
pottery during the year, which augurs
well for the continued and increasing
popu'arity of American made pottery.

Notwithstanding the great demand
and the large value of the output the
potters had many handicaps. chief
among which were the shortage of
fuel, especially in the western district,
and the shortage of materials on
account of transportation difficulties,
lioth of which caused considerable loss
in production, and it was well toward
the middle of the year before any-
thing like normal conditions prevailed
in regard to fuel and transportation.
The refusal of operatives to work full
time and the decrease in output per
man were further handicaps which it
was impossible to overcome.

There were no general strikes in the
industry, but the few minor ones that
occurred were sufficient to cause
serious loss in production.

InoreaNed Prodnction

The value of the pottery produced in
the L'nited States in 1920 is estimated
at about $105,700,000. an increase iif
39 per cent over the value in 1919.
The increase in 1920 over 1918 was 65
per cent. As compared with the value
in 1910 the value of the pottery mar-
keted in the United States in 1920 in-
creased 213 per cent, and as compared

with that in 1900 it increased 434 per
cent. Every kind of pottery classified
by the Geological Survey increased in
value except red and brown white-lined
cooking ware and chemical porcelain,
neither of which is produced in large
quantities, for in 1920 they together
amounted to less than 1 per cent of the
total value. Whiteware. valued at
$39,360,000, showed the largest In-
crease. J9. 660. 000; sanitary ware,
valued at $21,480,000. increased $7,000.-
000; porcelain electrical supplies,
valued at $18,560,000. increased $6,370.-
000: china, valued at $11,060,000. in-
creased $3,435,000. Stoneware, the fifth
product in importance, was valued at
$6,025,000. and increased $1,240,000. If
chemical stoneware is added the value
of stoneware was over $7,000,000. and
the increase was $1,595,000.

Whiteware and china, which com-
prise the general household wares and
which constituted 48 per cent of all
pottery products, were valued at
$50,420,000, an increase of $13,095,000.
If to this sum is added the value of
sanitary ware and porcelain electrical
supplies, their value would be $90,460.-
000 or 86 per cent of the total value,
an increase of $26,465,000 over the
value in 1919.

lnip«riK and Kxporti*

The imports of pottery for consump-
tion in the United States in 1920 were
valued at $10,850,772, an increase of 50
per cent as compared with those in
ial9. Some of this increase was due no
doubt to the increase in the selling
price of the ware, but the bulk of
imports also increased very consider-
ably in 1920.

Xinety-six per cent of the value of
imports was that of the general ware.
of which 93 per cent was decorated.
Every variety of pottery classified by
the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic
Commerce increased in value but
two — tobacco smoking pipes and
earthenware and crockery not deco-
rated. Decorated china showed the
largest increase in value — $2.129.689 —
and decorated earthenware the next
largest — ■ $1,329,745. Notwithstanding
the great home demand for pottery,
the exports of earthen and stone ware,
china, and sanitary ware i valued at
$2.S37.46!») increased $601. S23 in 1920
compared with 1919 and reached their
highest value.

Properties and Advantages of Reinforced Concrete

By M. T. CANTELL

A. M. E. I. C M.. Amer. I. M. E., I. R.

I B. A. Editor of Western Canada

Contractor

Reinforced concrete is a comliination
of Portland Cement. Concrete and Steel;
two of the most important materials
used for construction. It used sepa-
rately, each has its advantages and dis-
advantages. If combined, each of the
right quality and the materials used
for the concrete properly proportioned,
the resulting material will have the ad-
vantages of both concrete and steel and
the disadvantages of neither.

Concrete alone has great strengtli in
compression; its crushing resistance
when only a month old being approxi-
mately 2.500 lbs. per square inch; its
strength increases with age; over an
unknown period, whether placed in the
air or under water, it is practically
everlasting; it is one of the best
structural materials to resist heat; if
well made it will cost nothing for
maintenance; it has perfect santiary
properties and can be easily moulded
to any architectural or engineering
forms. Its disadvantages are: — weaK-
ness in tension, being rarely able to
resist more than 2n» lbs. per square
inch; it lacks ductility. Owing to this
and to its weakness under tension, it
cannot resit the slightest contraction
under variations of temperature with-
out developing cracks. Expansion and
contraction under variations of tem-
perature takes place with concrete as
well as with all other materials, al-
though to a less extent than in most
others. These temperature cracks, as
well as any other cracks, entirely
destroy the slight tensional resistance
the concrete might otherwise offer;
consequently concrete alone can only
be used for such structures or parts of
structures as are in compression, and
this in many cases necessitates a very
large mass of concrete and consequent-
ly a much greater weight and demand
on space than is desirable, or at times
possible.

As an instance of this, take a retain-
ing wall, which if built of plain con-
crete would need a thickness at its
base of approximately half its height,
but if built of reinforced concrete the
thickness here need not be more than
one-twelfth of it-; hnight and perhaps
much less, according to the design
adopted. Many similar instances could
be given. It is therefore obvious that
a great disadvantage of plain concrete
is its bulk and consequent cost,
weight, and demand on space.

In steel we have a material of great
strength in both compression and ten-
sion, its ultimate resistance being as
much as from 60,000 lbs. to 100.000 lbs.
per square inch; it is also a material
capable of being worked or framed
into any desired form. but. unfortu-
nately, its disadvantages outweigh its
advantages for many structural pur-
poses. Its strength diminishes with age;
this is chiefly due to oxidation which
takes place on exposure to moisture,
acids, or to general atmospheric action.
This oxidation is very rapid in struc-
tures that are not kept well painted
and at laps or joints where it is im-
possible for paint to be applied, it Is
very detrimental to the strength of
the steel. Numerous accidents with
great loss of life have been due to
this cause. Only one-fourth of an incli
of rust on a bar three-quarters of an
inch square will diminish its strength
by 13 per cent or ao per cent oi) a bar

one-half inch square. Another disad-
vantage of steel is its susceptibility to
heat; this it absorbs and conducts
rapidly, causing excessive expansion
and loss of strength under high tem-
perature. Steel gains in strength with
heat up to about 500 degrees fahren-
heit. during which time it will expand
as much as one inch in 26 feet. With
a continued rise of temperature its
strength rapidly diminishes and its ex-
pansion increases. In ordinary house
fires the temperature seldom exceeds
1.000 degrees but in large buildings it
is known to have exceeded 2.500 de-
grees, sufficient to fuse steel. The ex-
pansion even at 1.000 degrees causes a
stress far beyond the limit for steel
when at that temperature. Under these
conditions the resistance offered by the
loads and the fixed ends of steel bear-
ers, stanchions and framed structures,
prevents longitudinal expansion and
causes a stress far beyond what the
steel is capable of resisting, especially
in its weakened condition; consequent-
ly, the beam or stanchion buckles and
causes collapse of the structure. Fire-
men well know the great risk they
run in flgthing fires in large buildings
in which the steel beams and columns
are not properly protected. In a recent
report of the fire superintendent of the
City of London, England, it was stated
that this was the greatest danger the
firemen had to face.

Other disadvantages of steel struc-
tures are: High cost of maintenance
and, in certain cases, their unpleasing
and fragile appearance which suggests
weakness rather than strength.

In reinforced concrete we have the
great strength, toughness and frigidity
of steel, the great durability and fire
resistance of concrete, the appearance
of stability and strength, the steel
permanently protected from oxidation,
no loss of strength with age. a saving
of cost in construction, no outlay for
maintenance, and a material adaptable
to all forms of architecture and struc-
tural work.

Since the introduction and first use
of reinforced concrete for details of
building construction. experiments
with a view to obtaining a thorough
knowledge of its properties and of its
suitability for various types of struc-
tures have been continuous. These ex-
Ijeriments. together with the lapse ot
time and the severe tests to which it
has been subjected in existing struc-
tures, prove conclusively its absolute
reliability for the construction of all
types of architectural and engineering
structures.

It is now successfully used for the
construction of all kinds of residences
from workmen's cottages to million-
aires' mansions, for small business
premises and large skyscrapers, for
hotels, churches, theatres, public build-
ings, hydro electric power stations, gas
works, factory chimneys, reservoirs,
aqueducts, water mains, sewers, grain
elevators, bridges, roads, sea defense
works, railway works, military fortifi-
cations, and numerous other purposes.

In a paper by Mr. M. S. Lang on Con-
crete in Railway Work, recently read
before the National Association of Ce-
ment Users at Pittsburg, it was stated
that the Railways of Canada and the
United States found reinforced concrete
to be the most durable and economical
building material. They were now
adapting it for all types of work in-
cluding small ship buildings and even
watch-boxes and telephone booths, um
these could be constructed of rein-

forced concrete cheaper than of wood.

It is a method of construction which
is fast superseding that of brick,
wood, stone and steel, and is far su-
perior to these in resisting water, Are,
earthquakes and atmospheric influence.
It Is, however, ot the utmost im-
portance to hear in mind that of the
valuable properties reinforced con-
crete possesses, few will exist if the
work is not properly designed and ex-
ecuted, the latter is quite as important
as the former, for if the greatest of
care is taken with the design and care-
less supervision given to the construc-
tion, the result may be as bad or
probably worse than if the work was
poorly designed; in tact a poor design
well constructed may give a much
better result than a good design
badly constructed.

he supervision should include careful
inspection and testing ot all materials;
attention to the preparation, erection
and removal of the forms, to the guage
mixing and placing of the reinforce-
ment according to the drawings and
specifications, to the position and con-
dition in which slabs and lieams are
left unfinished at the end ot a day's
work, to the condition ot unfinished
work before its continuation or com-
pletion, to the protection of newly
finished work from building operations
and inclement weather, and to the test-
ing of work upon completion. All these
points are of the utmost importance it
we aim at the best possible results. It
is therefore absolutely necessary that
constant and expert supervision be
given to the construction.

In designing the chief consideration
is strength. This, however, should
always be considered together with
economy, which has not been done in
the past to the extent it should have
been, and this neglect has been very
detrimental to the progress of the
work, results ot which have given the
public the impression that reinforced
concrete was more e.\pcnsive than
brick, stone or steel; but this is not
the case. There is a great saving of
cost on large structures and also on
small ones, providing there is sufficient
repetition of detail to keep down the
cost of form construction. Economy in
design, however, has often to be con-
sidered from two points of view; the
engineering and the architectural.
These will not always coincide. The
most econoiTiical engineering structure
would have a certain arrangement ot
beams, slabs, columns, walls, etc., all
spaced and proportioned in the most
efficient manner and with a definite
percentage of reinforcement all de-
termined with due regard to the load-
ing and with a view to obtaining the
strongest, most satisfactory and cheap-
est structure. But it these engineering
points were the only ones considered
by the architect the result in some
cases would be very uneconomical. The
engineering structure may be consider-
ed either a plain mass or a skeleton
framework devoid ot architectural
embellishments. The architectural

structure is the engineering structure
made more presentable by the addition
of fittings and embellishments.

Economy on the engineering side is
liurely structural and in a building it
is obtained by keeping the floor slabs
thin, by a free use of beams or columns
and keeping the beams thin and deep,
also by graduating the columns in size
accordignng to their different loads.
This from an architectural point of

Problems of the State Highway Department

My CHAKI.KS J. BENNETT,

StatK His;liH-ay Commissioner of

Connecticut

Paper presented at the Confereiici-
on Highway Traffic Hegulation. held at
.V<" Haven, fonn.. May 23, 1921, under
the auspices of Yale University.

In the past 10 years a complete
transformation has taken place in the
l>roblems confronting the administra-
tive officials of State highway depart-
ments. In the early days of highway
development traffic was not a serious
factor and was not considered exten-
sively in the location and design of
highway systems. .-M that time the
administrative officer was generally a
man who knew how to lay out high-
ways simply with a view to improve
their general condition satisfactory to
local interests and to the accommoda-
tion of light vehicles. The result U
that the State highway systems of
those states which have participated
for a longer time in the improvement
of highways have been improved to an
inferior degree of excellence and are
not satisfactory to the traffic which is
developing. For this, reason the high-
way administrative engineer at the
present time should become a student
of transportation rather than of detail
highway con.struction. for traffic has
become the most important factor In
Ibe administration of public funds
used for the development of highway
systems. The highway engineer should
be interested, furthermore, not only
in transportation as it affects high-
ways but in all classes of transporta-
iion in order that he may determine
'o what extent and for what facilities
the highway program should be
'bveloped.

Mpvelupiiient of Hiehnny Transiiorl.i-
tlon on Abnormal Lfncx
Xo one at the present time has any
proper or correct conception of the
Place in the transportation scheme
which the highway must fill. Due to
several contributing causes, the de-
velopment of highway transportation
has proceeded along abnormal lines
There has been, naturally, a tendency
to over-develoj> highway transporta-
tion. This over-development ha.'^ been
in the vehicle, generally, at the ex-
pense and to the detriment of the road
There has been a very consequent
.slacking off in the development of
railroad facilities, due partly to the
rver-development of the motor vehicle
as well as to the lack of funds and
material for enlarging railroad activity
v\ e have had a very serious reduc-
tion in the rail transportation of pass-
engers and freight. Some of this de-
crease is due to the proper develop-
ment of the motor vehicle and some
or It to Its abnormal or unusual use
In the near future we must come to
realize the proper place for each
method of transportation in the gen-
eral scheme, and the highway engineer
Is vitally interested in this problem.
If we know to what type of trafBc
the highway is to be .subjected our
problem rs somewhat simplifled.

Vor purposes of discussion, «e will
dissect this subje.i. a.sume certain
things resardin.g the traffic problem of
the State highway departments and
discuss facts or suggestions which
may come from the division. Traffic
may he divided roughly into two
c a».ses: ri) commercial traffic in-
cluding the motor truck: and (2)
passenger or pleasure traffic, which
includes all motor vehicles usln^ the

liighway lor carrying passengers. With
■'flight excejition it may be stated that
'he <lass of highway suitable for the
carrying of commercial traffic will be
ade.iuate for the use of passenger
vehicles. Our study of the commercial
vehicle and its use and the suitable
hisbwny for this agency must, there-
lori'. be tbi' more careful.
Ilrflnite Kiinnledcre of (Vrtnin Faofii
of (-ointiiprrlnl Traffir Xreded
In order properly to outline this
problem we must know definitely
several things aliout commercial traffic.
11 IS evident that the motor truck has
a proper place in the scheme of trans-
portation and must be operated, to be
economical within certain limits
Figures show conclusively that, under
the present cost of operation of motor
trucks, the maximum limit for the
economic operation of motor trucks is
approximately 125 miles. .\t this point,
under present conditions and with
freight rates as they exist, the cost
of transportation by motor truck be-
gins to exceed the cost of transporta-
tion by rail. Consequently, here is one
definite limit, under present conditions
for the oi>eration of the motor truck
A:< conditions change, however, this
particular limit may be lowered or
raised. For instance, if we increase
materially the license fee on motor
trucks, the economic limit of opera-
tion will be reduced. Conversely, it
freight rates decline. the economic
short haul limit for rail will be re-
duced. Connecticut, which lies midway
between Boston and .New York is
almost entirely within the above-
ire ntioned economic truck operation
distance from both New York and
Hoston. This is interesting and an
indication of the condition which
mat€-rially affects our railwavs in their
transportation of local freight.

Motor VrhirleM aiul I.irenxe Pees
An analysis of the daily cost of
truck operation shows that of a total
operating cost of $26.0;i. n cents is
spent for the license fee. or for that
portion of the operating expense which
pays for the use of the road. Prom
the standpoint of road service it has
been found by certain experiments that
the operating cost per mile on a hard,
smooth pavement is approximately
one-half of the cost on an ordinary
earth road If the direct operating
cost for the above-mentioned truck
irichiding the cost of gasoline, oil and
tires, IS taken into consideration, the
cost for these items is approximatelv
$6 a day. If one-half of this sum is
saved by road improvement, a daily
saving of f3 will he made which re-
duced into yearly licen.se, would allow
a maximum license, ha.sed on the .sav-
ing in operation during 250 working
days per year, of $750 as against |27 50
from the 11-cent-a-day fee. These
figures throw a new light on this
phase of the problem.

The problem of Connecticut, of
course, is not the problem of Iowa or
Callforn^^. We have no immense dis-
tances. We are not developed agri-
culturally to any extent. The develop-
ment of our highway .system for the
two c'asses of traffic mentioned above
diniands a return from the traffic
us ng tl.e road, because there is but
slight local benefit accruing to abut-
ting property owners. This, then is
the traffic problem of Connecticut.' so
far as the highway department is
<oncerned.

We are cne.rned only incidentally

2}. ■^''.o''' "^ "■'■""'■• '^'"« is the re-
sponsibility of the hiotor vehicle de-

partment. Our general concern |»
with the development of our highway
system in order t.. accommodate the
commercial and pa.s.senger traffic and
to develop this system by means of the
fund.s secured from the agency which
uses the highways— the motor vehlcU
We are not prepared to say just what
proportion will ultimately be paid by
each type of vehicle. We hope to es-
tablish a definite relation between the
commercial vehicle and the pa.ssenger
car. We must not attempt to secttr*
from the pas.senger car an amount in
.xce.ss of the cost of service rendered.
We .should not, in the case of the com-
mercial vehicle, subsidize it at the
.■.Npon:=e of the .State and to the detri-
ment of the railroad. We must en-

'Jr^hT '" "i"' ""' ^^^ l""opt'- place for
eacB type of transportation so that we
may be sound in our conclusions.

We know that the motor truck has
come to stay and we realize that
Connecticut is one of the most advan-
tageous fields for its development. We
eons der it no more than fair to collect
from the commercial vehicle a suffici-
ent amount of money to provide for
the extra service rendered by the high-
way to this agency. This is the traffic
problem of the State Highway Depart-
ment .so far as it concerns thai depart
nient itself. The width of highway
the type of highway and the ruling
grade are merely incidents which can
be properly related to the economic
vehicle hmit when the .same i.s f.„ind
I do not attempt to .solve this proh-
lem. but merely to state it. and even
then in only a nebulous manner.
The Problem.<< of the Putnre
The future holds a great manv prob-
lem.s. B-fore these may he solved thev
must he expressed in definite form To
secure definite factors to iiiHude in
these difl-erent equations information
rj^ti '"■ ""Z"''''^- ""'" have a two-fold
problem. We must find the volume of
_rame. which may ultimately use the
highways to be developed and we must
I'i.so construct a type of highway for
the accommodation of this traffic which
is .satisfactory and suitable. Informa-
tion at hand is meager. The effects of
diiTerent types of traffic on different
Ivpes of road surface must be secured
The volume of traffic must be taken at
difterent seasons in the year at dilTer-
ent points and a forecast of the ulti-
mate traffic made therefrom. Studies
of impact stres.ses and innumerable
things suggesting themselves from the
f^encral situation must be made.

It will be interesting here to inject
a statement as to the volume of traffic
using the roads of Connecticut on a
particular 3-day period. Early in Miv
for 72 hours, the total number of
vebKbs counted at 56 points in the
State was 240,900. These were divided
into 204 300 pTs«anger cars and 36,500
triick.s. This information is simply
preliminary. The volume at particular
points is intense: at other points tb.
volume is light. Collecting these data
and drawing inferences from them, we
.should be able eventua'ly to find the
proper .so|„ij„„ of the bi;;bway c.in-
sl I net ion problem from the "traffic
standfioint and ditermine the types of
highways to be constructed al different
points.

When it comes to the relation he-
Iwee-i amount of nalli,- and the cost
of highway repair wo have another
factor. It may b. .shown that even-
iiially certain highways will need cer-
tain types of iiaveineiits from the foro-

FEDERAL .\ID RO.\DS -WOULD
ENCIRCLE GLOBE

Of the 22,030 miles of Federal aid
roads which have been built or are
now under construction, more than
two-thirds are earth roads, sand, clay
or gravel, says the chief of the Bureau
of Public Roads. United States Dept.
of Agriculture. These have cost less
than one-third of the total amount ex-
pended as compared with nearly 50 per
cent of the estimated cost applied to
4890 miles of hard surfaced roads.

The mileage of Federal Aid roads
which have been built or are now
under constructiop is nearly fufflclent

to encircle the globe. This is the
record of work accomplished since
July, 1916. when the Federal Govern-
ment first stepped in to aid in the
enormous task of building highways
that are now called upon to carry more
than 9,000,000 motor vehicles plus a
very substantial horse-drawn traffic in
the 4 8 states.

On March 1 of this year 22.030 miles
of highway, extending into every State
had been completed or were in process
of construction, says the bureau, at a
total estimated cost of $361,946,868. The
percentage of this total estimated cost
which will be incurred for each type.
and the mileage of each type, based
upon the records of plans approved, are
as follows:

Type 1, including earth, sand, clay
and gravel. 32.2% of total estimated
cost; mileage, 15,300.

Type 2, including water bound and
bituminous macadam, 9.0% of total
estimated cost; mileage, 1530.

Type 3, including brick, bituminous

Bridges. 6.0% of total estimated cost.

Federal aid is allotted to the Im-
provement of earth roads, but only
with the stipulation that a suitable
surfacing will be placed as soon as
funds become available. This allows
the road bed to be prepared and be-
come thoroughly consolidated before
the surfacing is placed, which is highly
desirable from a construction view-
point. To follow such a course, how-
ever, is out of the question when a
road is heavily traveled and some form
of surfacing must be provided. To
care for traffic under these conditions,
frequently a sand, clay, or gravel sur-
facing is provided, which will serve
for several years and yet allow the
road to be maintained under reasonably
heavy traffic.

THE AMERIC.-VN SOCIETY OF CIVIL
ENGINEERS ENDORSES BILL FOR
COMPLETION OF TOPOGRAPHIC
SURVEYS

Following resolution was adopted
by the board of direction of American
Society of Civil Engineers at its meet-
ing held June 6, 1921:

Realizing the great importance of
adequate topographic maps for de-
velopment of the natural resources
of the country and the economical
planning and construction of all
kinds of engineering projects, and
believing that the saving in cost of
such public and private projects to
be constructed during the next de-
cade will more than offset the ex-
pense of making standard topo-
graphic maps and will justify the
necessary expenditure of Federal and
State agencies in co-operation;
therefore.

Resolved. That the Board of
Direction of the American Society of
Civil Engineers endorses House Bill
5230 which provides for the comple-
tion of the topographic surveys of
the United States and urges its early
consideration and passage.

view might turn out very uneconomical
as it may involve so much additional
finisliing in the way of cornices and
other details, also e.xtra expense to
secure efficient light and ventilation
than would be the case it thicker slabs
with fewer and more shallow beams
were used. Therefore, if we wish to
design economical structures we must
carefully consider the many factors
concerned, the most important of
these, however, are the ratio of breadth
to deptli of beams, the percentage ot
reinforcement, and the general ar-
langement or lay-out of beams and
columns. These infiuence all struc-
tures and should be considered l)y both
the architect and the engineer. The
percentage of reinforcement is of the
utmost importance, great waste la
often occasioned through an excess ot
steel being used; there is a definite
percentage that will give the most
economic section, it is that which is
such as to allow both the steel and
concrete to be stressed to their allow-
alile limits when the structure is fully
loaded, we then get the full value out
of such material; if one of the ma-
terials is understressed it means there
is an excess of that material and con-
sequently a waste.

cast made by the cost of maintenance
under certain volumes of traffic and
by the volume of traffic which may be
determined as eventually using this
road. The problem is complicated. The
underlying principle which should be
stressed is that, in order properly to
develop our traffic, we must secure
from that traffic a sufficient payment
in license fees to pay tor the service
rendered. Much has been said regard-
ing the advisability of taxing a par-
ticular agency for the upkeep of roads.
When it is thoroughly understood,
however, that the roads are built for
the automobile and without particular
regard to any other type of traffic, it
seems fair to lay the burden of the
cost of financing these improvements
on this agency, which is the most
lieneflted.

What is needed more than any other
information is a thorough under-
standing of the relation between traffic
and the highway, and it seems impera-
tive that means for securing this in-
formation be established. A bureau
of research is needed. This bureau
should investigate the detail relations
between traffic and highway, and
should not stop at this particular
point, hut should extend its work to a
thorough investigation of the trans-
portation problem from all stand-
points, including all means of freight
and passenger transportation, having
in mind the development of waterway.
railway, trolley, highway and possibly
the air. It is a big job and of vital
importance to the welfare of the
country. The sums of money spent in
highway improvements are tremendous.
The effect of this expenditure on the
public is manifold. Money spent on
one agency cannot be spent on the
other. Unnecessary work done In
highway development will mean cur-
tailment of expenditure in other
sources, partifularly for other means
of transportation. The problem should
lie stated in simple terms and solved in
the interests of the general public.

WOOD INDUSTRIES MUST PAY
HEAVILY FOR LONG HAULS

[Consul O. J. McConnico. (luadalajara.
June 10. 192].]
Building operations have been carried
on to an unusual extent in Guadalaiara,
Mexico, since the beginning of the
present year, thus indicating a greater
feeling of confidence than has existed
for years. Since the 1st of January 294
permits have been issued bv the Di-
rector General of Public Works for the
construction of new and the renovation
of old residences. Many of these have
been expensive structures. Just at
present the city authorities are en-
gaged in repairing the asphalt streets
of the city with the sum of 20.000 pesos
appropriated for that purpose. For the
improvement of the water-supply sys-
tem It Is estimated that the siim of
150,000 pesos will be expended. The ad-
dre.'is of the otticial in charge of these
operations may be obtained from the
Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Com-
merce or Its district or co-operative
offices upon reference to file No. 20766

Reforestation has not been taken
seriously by the average business man
in the United States," said Col. W B
i.re.ley, chief of the Forest Service.
, ^ Deparlment of Agriculture, before
thif National Assn. of Wood Turners
recently. "Reforestation has been
rooked upon as a fad quite remove*
troni the practical interests of the
manufacturer, as something more con-
cerned with parks or shade trees or
rose bushes.

"Chicago is the greatest lumber
market in the world. Since 1890 an
average of over 2,000,000,000 ft. of
lumber has come into Chicago every

average freight paid on lumber coming
Inn A S^'^^eo was less than J3 per
1000 ft. Since that time the loc"
sources of supply for this territory
h.'ive been exhausted one after an-
other. Lumber shipments have tra-
versed greater and greater distances,
and the average freight bill paid by
the Chicago distributor has steadily
risen to more than $12 per 1000 ft.

"In other words, the increased trans-
portation charge on lumber shipments
into Chicago, as a result of the ex-
haustion of the forest regions sur-
rounding it. represents a toll of
$22,500,000 annually. And while this
has happened there have accumulated

Aires. This company is a combination
of the foreign sales departments of
several important English machinery
manufacturers. The Review of the
River Plate in commenting on the
opening of the oflfice of this company

FACTS .ABOUT ASBESTO.S

The art of weaving the mineral fiber
in asbestos, which is ordinarily In-
destructible, was rediscovered at a
comparatively late period of civiliza-
tion. Woven asbestos was used In the
ancient pyre to preserve the royal
ashes. Charlemagne is said to have
had a tablecloth made of asbestos and
111 have cleaned it by throwing it Into
the fire, which consumed the dirt, thus
illustrating in a spectacular manner
one of the most valuable properties of
this material.

The fiber of the best grade of as-
liestos is beautiful and silky and has
great flexibility, elasticity, and tensile
strength. according to the United
States Geological Survey. Department
of the Interior. It can be spun into
thread so fine as to run 225 yards to
the ounce, and as it is incombustible
,Ts well as a non-conductor of heat and
electricity and resists the action ot
most ordinary acids, its field ot use is
large. The possible applications ot
asliestos are far from fully appre-
ciated not only by the general public
but by manufacturers who are in
search of material for special uses to
which asbestos may well be applied.
Perhaps it is most generally used to
inake fireproof cloth for theater cur-
tains. It has been used also for mak-
ing firemen's clothing. Everywhere In
cold countries it is extensively em-
ployed for covering furnaces, boilers,
and pipes to prevent loss of heat.
.Asbestos is a good insulator.

ARCHITECTS OF HIGH RANK

It is generally conceded that the
Oreco-Roman home was the most per-
fect type of the antique dwelling in
plan, construction and decoration. It
is rightfully considered more richly
suggestive than any older house forms.
such as those of Egypt and Assyria,
but it is not well to infer from this
that the latter types are unworthy of
consideration, for they are confessedly
marked by a simplicity, dignity and
solidity of construction and a correct
use of decoration which, according to
authorities, give them a high pl.ace in
building systems of the world.

In Egypt, as in all countries, we llnd
that building forms were dictated by
and adapted to the exigencies of cli-
mate. The constructive Instinct, since
the beginning of time, apparently, has
been strong in the average m.in. and
nowhere did it Impress itself In sim-
pler, more enduring and more majes-
tic forms than in Egypt.

This Is true, despite the fact that
the Egyptians professed, in view of

General Competitive Bidding

Practice Adds to Building Cost

By Noble Foster Hoggson, New York

Any one who has tried to figure out
just what he should allow for a three-
weeks' camping trip and then has
taken the trip is in a fair position to
get some conception of the problems
of the estimating department of a
building concern. It is not a job for
anyone except the most experienced.
For remember that unlike the camper
who can easily enough make up for
the things omitted in his final estimate,
there is no such alternative for the
building concern, especially if it be
one which is operating under a con-
tract which guarantees a predeterm-
ined cost. Such an estimate must be
accurate and complete and made by
men who know not only what things
ought to cost, but what they will ac-
tually cost in the end.

The men who estimate for a big
building which as yet is in the pre-
liminary plan stage must be able to
conceive of it as a finished structure;
to give to the rough plan and its ele-
vation the necessary third dimension — ■
an idea of the mass of the building as
standing on the plan.

There are various methods of get-
ting at the quantities tor an estimate
which are in common usage. But the
most accurate results are obtained
when the estimate is made up by item-
izing all the materials entering the
construction. This is called "taking
off the quantities." For example to
determine the cost of the construction
of 100 sq. ft. of floor it is possible to
arrive at an approximation by using a

figure representing the cost of a unit
of that type of construction. But a
more reliable estimate is made by de-
termining the quantities of material
which go into the component parts of
the floor — forms for reinforcing, the
reinforcement, the concrete, the cement
finish, the furring, the plaster and the
linoleum or other covering surface.
These quantities multiplied by the
prevailing unit cost of the material
and added together give a nliable es-
timate and this method is typical of all
estimators' work.

Under the ordinary building practice
where an owner through his architect
or engineer submits plans and speci-
fications to different contractors, the
quantity survey must be made by each
bidder. Only one bidder can be suc-
cessful and consequently the cost of
the job to the owner is higher because
of the wasteful duplication in the sur-
veys. For someone must pay for the
unsuccessful bidders' time. Thus the
un.sucoessful bidder on a job accounts
for his losses on the jobs he fails to
get usually by adding a percentage to
each successful bid to cover the ex-
pense involved in unsuccessful ones.

The form of contract used by an or-
ganization which handles all phases of
a building operation eliminates this
unnecessary expense to the owner.
For each owner who employs such a
concern pays for the survey of his own
building solely. Such a concern is its
own contractor and never has occasion
to take off quantities unless it has
been awarded a contract for a building.

the brevity of life, to consider their
dwellings as mere 'Wayside inns."
and to regard it. therefore, a matter of
comparative indifference how they
were constructed. Notwithstanding
this attitude as to earthly dwelling
places, the rich and great lavisTled

houses. The streets of Thebes. Mem-

TRA.M\V.\YS FOR PEKING

a few days after the stock was placed
on the market in Peking it was over-
subscribed to double the amount. Ac-
cording to the agreement, a commis-
sion of 2.5 per cent is granted the
French bank as a commission for ma-
terials purchased from other than
French sources. The company's con-
cessions will probably call for from 15
to 25 miles of street railways. The
chief engineer is expected to leave
France in June or July and, after his
arrival construction will be at once
commenced. Americans interested in
communicating with the company may

THE PUBLIC DUTY OF THE
KNGINBBR

In large cities free service is a thing
almost unknown, but in moderate and
small sized communities it frequently
ranks near to an established institu-
tion. It is unbusinesslike, and so is
open to severe criticism, but it carries
the force inherent in customs, which
can not be disregarded. The ambitious
community with active Chambers ot
Commerce, Rotary Club, Kiwanis Club,
and the like, demands — usually tlirough
some of the organizations named — that
its leading citizens give of their time,
their automobiles and often of their
money for the public good. By his
response to such demands is a man
very largly rated as a public-spirited
citizen or the reverse.

Lack of understanding by his fellows
of what is involved in the solution of
an engineering problem, failure to ap-
preciate that a technical man is loath
to express an offhand opinion, couplea
occasionally with plain inconsiderate-
ness, from time to time bring to tlie
engineer requests for services which he
cannot in justice to himself grant.
However, a sense of public duty, a de-
sire to please and an easy-going good
nature are all common attributes
among the profession and the younger
member in particular is likely to yield
to either direct or indirect appeals to
them.

In a community in which free public
service is customary, the engineer
should do "his bit" like any good
citizen, but he will do well also to ob-
serve that the merchant and the bank-
er do not allow such service to in-
terfere with any considerable propor-
tion of their incomes. The engineer
may wish to give as much time to
public work as he sees his busine
griends giving; but he must not forget
that while a well established commer-
cial business works in part without the
direct service of its head, his own
stock in trade consists almost entirely
of services which he himself renders.

In refusing to be led into an ex-
travagant disposal of his time, the en-
gineer merely will be following sound
business principles. Further, if he will
to a reasonable extent insist that the
public work he does shall be of a
character to further the interests of his
profession he will, we believe, be
rendering a maximum of service. — ^En-

CeiitrnI Alberta Irrigation Scheme

In order to offset the influence of
frequent droughts in central and south-
ern Alberta, a dam is planned to be
constructed at a point on the Red Deer
River about equidistant from Red Deer
and Lacombe. The dam will measure
103 feet from the bottom of the cais-
sons and will require the labor of 500
men for a period of probably five years.
A supply of water win be assured by
placing a second dam across the North
Saskatchewan River, thereby causing
water to be backed into the Red River
through the Clearwater and tributary
streams. A canal will connect the
system with Buffalo Lake. thereby
causing an increase of 10 feet in its
depth, and permitting the use of the
lake as a reservoir for the irrigation
district embracing the eastern part of
Alberta and the western part of
Saskatchewan. Consul Samuel C. Reat,
of Calgary, states that Alberta has an
agricultural area of 160,000,000 acres.

Development of Hydro-Electric Energy

in Pacific and Mountain States

Exceeds Gold Output

The manufacture of building blocks,
which was suspendi'd during the war,
has been restarted in France. The ma-
terials used are sand, lime and cement,
with a base of crushed coal cUnkeri.

The value of the electrical energy
produced by hydro-electric power
plants in the Mountain and Pacific
Slates during 1920 was greater than
that of the gold produced in those
States in the same period, said Alex-
ander T. Vogelsang, former Assistant
Secretary of the Interior, in a state-
ment issued by him today. Figure.^
obtained l)y Mr. Vogelsang from the
Director of the Geological Survey show
that the total value of the power pro-
duced by water power in the Moun-
tain and Pacific States was about $79.-
000.000. which is nearly 2.2 times the
value of the gold produced in the same
States in 1920.

The kilowatt-hour production by wa-
ter power by public utility plants in
1920. as shown by the Geological Sur-
vey report, iivas as follows:

Montana I.118.90f).000

Idaho 588.978.000

Wyoming 2.271.000

Colorado 184. 674.000

New Mexico 828,000

Arizona 106.527.00o

Utah 212.243.000

Nevada 32.690.000

Washington 1.154.135,000

Oregon 370.8G7.000

California 2,568.o41.000

Total 6.340.659.000

As it is estimated that about 80 per
cent of the developed v.ater power in
these States is in public utility plants,
the total production of electrical en-
ergy from water power would am-
ount to about 7.925,000,000 kilowatt-
hours.

During the same period the gold pro-
duction was as follows:

Montana $ 1.839.200

Idaho 465.000

Wvoniing 200

Colorado 7,613.400

New Mexico 463.400

Arizona 4.943.000

Utah 2.076.400

Nevada 3..t54.90O

Washington 148.800

Oregon 965.100

California ]4.305.3'10

Total $36,374,700

At the rate of one per cent per kiflo-
watt-hour the production of electrical
energy from water power is thus shown
to have been worth $79.ono.OO0. as
against the estimated gold production
for the same States during the year ot
$36,000,000. Thus the power value in
those States was a little more than
twice the value of the gold produced.

When power production in these
States is properly encouragi'd and fully
developed, the annual return from this
source will of course far exceed these
figures. This value comes frr>m the
same mountain systems which prrducc
gold, and unlike the gold, will not be
exhausted. l)Ut will continiin unlll the
laws of nature are themselves re-
pealed. Other and more pointed illus-
trations may doubdess also he made.

Mr. Vogelsang reviewed the opera-
tion of the Public Utilities Act In Cali-
fornia and the benefits of regulation

under that act. Illustrating the ne-
cessity for a better undersiaiidini? of
the relation of the public utilities to
the people he instanced the investiga-
tion recently made in <'alifornia by the
Inman Committee of the Legislature.
In this concction he said:

"The public is fair when it under-
stands, and when it does not under-
stand it is generally viciously unfair
or indifferent to the attacks of those
who seem willing to make sacrifice of
legitimate investment and essential
public good for political reasons. Dema-
goguery is nearly always the child of
ignorance and it has had ecnomical im-
portance from the dawn of history. The
only cure is truth, light and education.
Therefore it behoves every developer of
electric energy (in paraphrase of the
gospel) to fully realize that 'You are
in fact the lighters of the world, and
you should let your light so shine be-
fore men that many may see your good
works and glorify the power which is
electricity'. Then those who come to
destroy the industry or the developer
will aid in the fulfillment of your en-
terprises. Much has been done in
spreading the gospel of power, but in-
finitely more remains to be accomplish-
ed before understanding becomes the
rule instead of the exception among the
American people.

"The basic trouble is that in times
past before the people realized their
power of regulation and their means
of protection, most exploiters of na-
tural resources sowed the seed of con-
tempt of pul)lic right and they now,
though chastened in spirit and desir-
ous only of justice and fair dealing,
are reaping the whirlwind of popular
wrath. This can be cured, but it re-
quires lime and it requires publicity.

Referring to the report of the Inman
Committee. Mr. Vogelsang says the
result of the investigation was what
fishermen call "a dry haul' and the
committee "unenlightened and pre-
judiced in the beginning proved to be
honest in impluse and it did not hes-
itate or quibble in its forthright and
unanimous report to the Legislature,"
in which the Committee said: "And in
conclusion permit us to e.^ll attention
to the fact that the public utilities are
as necessary parts of our future econ-
omic development as any other agency;
that they are entitled to fair treat-
ment at the hands of the people and to
a fair and Just return upon the money
invested upon properties used and use-
ful in the public service: that the lime
is rapidly approaching when our fuel
oil supply will l>e exhausted, or so
nearly so as to become prohibitive in
cost, and that the development of the
State depends largely upon hydro-
electric energy."

Mr. Vogelsang in his statement adds:

"And finally the committee earnest-
I.V eommen<ls this great law. the I'ulj-
lic Utilities .Vet, to the commendation
of the people. It has worked well and
is Working well today. Strengthen it
rather than weaken it. During times
such as have Just passed have faith In
.vour commission that It will be a buf-
fer between you and the utilities so
that the people on one hand will re-
ceive good service at a fair price and
that on Ihe other the utilities will re-
ceive such service at the hands of the
people that will i-ncouraKt- rapltal lb
come to this State and help develop
our wonderful resources."

ROADS BVILT BY FEDEHAI. AID
DIVIDED INTO THREE CLASSES

The United States Bureau of Public
Roads divides tlie roads built under tile
Federal Aid Act into three classes, as
follows:

Class 1. Earth, Sand-Clay, Shell,
Gravel, Gravel, surface treated.

Class 2. Waterhound Macadam.
Waterbound Macadam, surface treated.
Bituminous Macadam.

Class 3. Rock Asphalt, Bituminous
Concrete, Cement Concrete, Brick. Sheet
Asphalt.

Figures on approved Federal Aid
projects under construction and com-
pleted up to March 1, 1921, involve 22,-
032 miles of road. The following table
shows the percentage of the total cost
as distributed among the various

types:

Class 3 4.254

Total 16,794 miles

Out of a total of 4,254 miles of road
in Class 3, 3,308 miles, or 77.6% were of
Portland cement concrete.

CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY ASSO-
CIATION ORGANIZED

The California Highway Association
has been organized and the following
named ollicers: President, Edward
Fletcher of San Diego; vice-presidents,
Richard J. Welch of San Francisco and
Jonathan Dodge of Los Angeles; sec-
retary-treasurer, J. C. Havely of Sac-
ramento.

The purpose of the Board is to
promote more and better highways,
and to study all questions relating
to highways and streets. The member-
ships will include those engaged in
highway construction, members of the
Board of Supervisors, County and
State Highway Commissioners. City
Omcials and Government State and
County Engineers.

VEW JIl'ILDING MATERIAL

An all-mineral substitute for wood,
composed of Portland cement, sand
and asbestos liber, has been found
to serve excellently as a base for walls,
floors, etc., as, being cellular in struc-
ture, it takes nails easily and holds
them firmly. The new material, says
I'opular Mechanics Magazine, has the
advantages over wood of being fire
and warpproot. This latter quality
makes it especially suitable for use as
a subflooring when composition floors
are used, as cracking: of the latt*r is
said to be eliminated. As it has the
property of holding nails well, interior
wood trimming and shingles may be
nailed directly to the new base ma-
terial. It is also said to possess good
insulating qualities.

Lack of Funds Hinders

State's Power Development

An admission that California devel-
opment is being hindered through the
lack of funds available for the Feder-
al Power Commission in making pow-
er project investigations is made in
the commission's first annual report
made public recently.

Not only is not enough money ap-
propriated to carry on the work but
not all the appropriations made can
be used by the commission due to a
lack of authorization. California is
affected more than any State in the
Union owing to the fact that it is the
State where the greatest hydro-elec-
tric development is being centered.
Dozens of applications for power per-
mits are not being acted on and indus-
trial wheels stalled, because the com-'
mission hasn't the funds to make the
requisite investigations. I

The commission's statement, in part,
reads: Up to June 30, 1921, there had
been filed with the Commission 229
applications aggregating 14,675,000^
horsepower and affecting 33 States, fhei
District of Columbia, and Alaska. This^
amount is 75 percent greater than the,
entire water-power development of,
the United States today. It is 50 per-
cent greater than the combined water-
power resources of Norway and Sweden
and considerably in excess of tlfe com-
bined resources of France and Italy.
It is five times greater than the aggre-
gate of all applications filed with the
Federal Government in the preceding
15 years. The projects applied for vary
in size from less than 100 horsepower
up to the three million horsepower
scheme of the Southern California Edi-
son Company on Colorado River.

In creating the Commission and put-
ting upon it duties many times great-
er than had been exercised previous-
ly by any of the Executive Depart-
ments in connection with water-power
development, Congress gave the Com-
mission no personnel to perform its
work other than its Executive Secre-
tary and Engineer Officer. In order to
function at all it has been necessary
for the Commission to borrow from
the several Departments personnel for
its Washington office. It has been
able to secure from this source 8 en-
gineers. 2 attorneys. 2 accountants. 2
draftsmen and 16 clerks, a force inad-

equate to handle expeditiously the var-
ious applications presented, even after
the omission of all other duties placed
upon the Commission by the Act. The
Commission has no field force, loaned
or otherwise but must rely for examin-
ations and reports upon applications,
and for the conduct of hearings upon
the field officers of the several Depart-
ments-men who are primarily respon-
sible for their own departmental
duties. Even the limited appropria-
tions made by Congress for the work
of the Commission are being returned
to the Treasury unused because Con-
gress, after making these appropria-
tions failed to grant the legislative au-
thority to use them.

The first license was issued on
March 1, to the Niagara Falls Power
Company. Between that date and
July 1, final action has been taken on
47 aplications, 13 preliminary permits
have been issued, involving 1,075.000
horsepower, and 15 licenses, involving
757,000 primary horsepower and 460,-
000 secondary horsepower, or a total
of 1,217,000 horsepower, making an
aggregate of 28 projects, involving 2,-
292,000 horsepower, or as much as was
issued by all of the Executive Depart-
ments during the 10 years preceding
the passage of the Federal 'Water Pow-
er Act. There were also pending on
June 30 for final action at the next
meeting of the Commission 16 applica-
tions, involving 190.000 horse-power.

The commission has been unable to
make any of the valuations required
by the Act in cases of issuance of
licenses to plants already in operation
— an ommission that is likely to prove
a source of future embarrassment. So
long as it is unable, on account of leg-
islative restrictions, to use more than
a fraction of its small appropriation,
it can not hope to perform to its own
satisfaction the duties placed upon it,
or to meet public expectation. It real-
izes, however, the necessity for addi-
tional power development and the im-
portance of granting authority to
every project that gives promise ot
early construction: and it is directing
all its efforts to this end. The chief
present defect in the Act is its failure
to provide adequate means for its ex-
peditions administrations.

PRODUCTION OF IRON AND STEEL
IN C.\NAD.\

A life is lost in the shop, a case is
lost in court, a ship goes down at sea,
a train is derailed, an auto turns turtle
— all tor the want of a little care.

[Consul General John G. Foster,
Ottawa. Ontario, June 18, 1921.]
The Dominion Bureau of Statistics,
in its February report on the produc-
tion of iron and steel in Canada, shows
an increased production of steel ingots
and castings for that month over the
output of the preceding month, the
production reaching a total of 58,537
long tons, as compared with 40,058
tons in January. This is considerably
below the average of 1920, but is in
excess of December figures.

Production of pig iron was higher by
over 6,000 tons than for the previous
month, the figures for February show-
ing a total of 57,711 long tons of pig
iron produced, exclusive of spiegeleisen
and ferroalloys. Blast furnaces were
operated during the month at Sault
Ste. Marie. Hamilton, and. Port Col-
bourne, and at Sydney, Cape Breton.
There were at the end of the month
6 active and 14 idle blast furnaces.

The total production of pig iron in
Canada during the calender year 1917
was 1,044,000 long tons; in 1918 1,607,000

tons: in 1919. 819,000 tons: in 1920, 974.-
000 tons; and for the first two months
of 1921 the production was 99,000 long
tons. Steel ingots and castings pro-
duced in Canada aggregated, for the
year 1917, 1,558.000 long tons; 1918,
1,681,000 tons; 1919. 924,000 tons; 1920,
1.109.000 tons, and for the first two
months ot 1921. 99.000 tons.

LO'W GU.iRD RAIL FOR NEVAD.A
RO.*DS

The Nevada State Highway Depart-
ment, according to a recent Service
Bulletin of the Iowa Highway Commis-
sion, has adopted as standard a guard
rail in which the rail is placed on a
level with the hub of the average motor
vehicle. Split cedar posts 4 Vf> ft. long
are set 2% ft. in the ground. The huD
rail is 2x8 pine nailed to the post. The
top edge is flush with the top of post
and a 2x6 pine cap is nailed on top.

.IDEAIi SYSTEM OK VEXTILATION
SOVGIIT FOR HIGHWAY Tl'BES

Searching for an ideal system of
ventilation for the highway tubes
which are to be driven under the Hud-
son Hiver between New York and New
Jersey, engineers of the Pittsburgli
station of the United States Bureau of
Mines are preparing for the most
elaborate experiments ever conducted
along this line.

Workmen are now engaged in
building a tube 40U feet long by 16
feet high and nine feet wide.
Through this automobiles will be
driven, under conditions suggested by
the New York-Xew Jersey tunnels.
The engineers will then determine the
best means of carrying off the exhaust
gasses from the machines, and embody
them in a ventilating system that will
protect the lives of persons traveling
the tubes. The experiments will be
conducted under the direction of J. W.
Paul of the Pitt.sburgh bureau soniv;
time during the latter part of August.

Bureau engineers long ago determ-
ined by exhaustive tests the nature of
the gasscs from motor cars and point-
ed out the danger to persons who al-
lowed motors to run in garages insuf-
ficiently ventilated. The same prob-
lem is presented by the traffic tubes,
which, if calculations are right, will
be pretty well filled with motor cars
every hour of the day and night. To
carry oft these gasses and preserve the
lives of persons in tlie tubes will be
the object of the experiments.

The Pittsburgh work is a continua-
tion of problems somewhat similarly
taken up at the University of Illinois,
which are nearing completion.

MUERMEN CLAI.M SHINGLES ARE
BARRED

Petitions to suspend by referendum
the recently enacted State housing act
are being circulated by lumber inter-
ests throughout the State because of a
construction of the law which appar-
ently prohibits the use of shingles on
the roofs of buildings, representatives
of these interests announced.

Between 30,000 and 40,000 names are
necessary to make the petition effec-
tive.

While shingles on roots are not di-
rectly barred by law, it was stated,
certain sections of the law, when
placed together, act to bar their use.

The law in question is Senate Bill
288, introduced in the last legislature
by Senator I^ester G. Burnett of San
Francisco. Burnett said at the time
it had the approval of the State Im-
migration and Housing Commission.

OLD AMERICAN HOMES

The old-fashioned American home —
the single dwelling with a front and
back yard — is giving way even in the
smaller cities of the United States to
the modern apartment house. This is
revealed in a report on 1S20 building
operations issued by the United States
Chamber of Commerce. The report,
compiled in conjunction with the Fed-
eral Bureau of Labor Statistics, shows
that last year 70 per cent of the fami-
lies provided with new homes got one-
family dwellings; 11 per cent, two-
family dwellings, and 1!) per cent a
multi-family dwelling. The same fig-
ures .'iliow that the proportion of mul-
ti-faniily dwellings provided last year
was largest in the small cities.

The Oklahoma Agricultural and Me-
chanical College at Stillwalcr, Okla.,
has established a l-year course in
highway engineering. .\ short course
will be held each year during the
winter months.

SMALL WATER PLANT

OPERATOR AS A SCIENTIST

Dy Abel Wolman

.Maryland State Department of Health

A little thought will make clear that
all plant operators may be divided into
three classes — the first, who feel that
they are scientific but hesitate to pre-
sent their observations because of in-
herent modesty; the second, the prac-
tical, who observe but do not report
l)ecause of a supposed lack of scientific
language, and the third, who neither
observe nor report. This last class is,
I hope, jiunierically small and need not
concern" us. The first two classes have
much in common, both as to method
and result. It is to these two classes
that one must look for real develop-
ment in water treatment, since they
are the first to encounter new prob-
lems and the first to try out new solu-
tions. A scientific hypothesis is use-
less if it is not in accord with the facts
everywhere. A scientific solution is
worthless if it does not solve our prob-
lems. Both the hypothesis and the
solution must be tested by the plant
operator. He is an important factor
in real scientific progress. How impor-
tant, he has evidently failed to realize,
if we judge from the infrequency with
which he takes part in discussions of
theory and hypothesis.

When we speak of a problem in wa-
ter treatment, we are prone to empha-
size its simplicity rather than its com-
plexity. We find it easy to fall into
the error of considering "water" as a
definite thing, a simple compound, in-
stead of regarding it always as a most
variable substance, delicately fluctu-
ating with atmospheric, geographic and
geologic influences. When water is
considered in his sense, each watei
filtration plant becomes a laboratory,
a scientiflc structure, a research bu-
reau, where facts and opinions may
and should be tested out upon the pe-
culiar and rare fluid there being han-
dled. When a new hypothesis is an-
nounced, each plant operator has the
opportunity to make a real contribu-

tion to science and to practice by de-
termining if it tallies with the phenom-
ena experienced with his own rarity,
the little stream used in his plant.
Likewise, he has the continual advan-
tage of learning whether older theories
account for the present observations
and whether older methods are ade-
quate. Each small plant stands, there-
tore, in the position of a special re-
.=earch laboratory upon the director of
which there has been placed the duty
of watching and interviewing a con-
tinuous series of experiments per-
formed under conditions common to no
other laboratory. I emphasize the dis-
tinctiveness of each plant, since even
on the same stream, a few miles apart,
the water has undergone profound
change which converts it into a new
substance, with new. though possibly
.slightly varied, attributes.

If we accept the concept of each
lilant as a true specialized investiga-
tive bureau and of water as a variable
and not a constant substance, what op
erator has the right to say that he is
not or should not be a scientiflc ob
server? His duty, whether he likes it
or not. ha.s been enlarged from that of
valve-operator to investigator. His
rt.sponsibility is greater than to his
immediate community; it is national
:ind even international. For the plant
operator is now research worker, and
the fruits of research are limited only
I'v the infinite.

It is clear from the above discussion
that in each plant, no matter how
.small, no matter how crude, phenom-
ena of great importance and of pecu-
liar significance are occurring and re-
curring. They are not always observed
and still less often are they reported.
It is the special plea of this paper to-
day that this condition be remedied.
for with its remedy, perhaps, many of
both scientists and practical men will
avoid voyages "bound nowhere, under
full sail."

EXTKXSIVE STREET IMPROVE-
MENTS AT FRESNO

The city of Fresno now has under
way. either under actual construction
or plans ordered, a paving program ag-
gregating $392,000, according to flg-
iires compiled by Chief Engineer Rants-
m.a of the Department of Public
Works. Of this total $82,000 repre-
sents work for which plans have been
ordered.

In all specifications where concrete
lia.se is used the Department of Public
Works is specifying 5-in. base against
a former policy of 4-in. base, and
wherever concrete is used the base
now is five inches with an inch and
one-half wearing surface. Where
black base is specified the city is lay-
ing a 5^4-in. pavement, with 3'/j-in.
base and 2-in. wearing surface. The
old specification commonly tised was
a thickness of five inches for black
base pavement, against five and one-
half inches now.

Municipal Loan for Reclnmation Work

The perfect of Rio de Janeiro has
authorized a credit of 30,000.000 milreis
to finance the removal of the Morro de
Castello and the reclamation of part
of the bay. The land thus made will
be a'S'ailable for tlie repayment of the
loan. The American embassy is in-
formed that the Eanco-Hollandez will
negotiate the sum.

Catalognes W^ante<I

A survey of the library of the office
of the commercial attache at Rio de
Janeiro reveals the fact that most of
it:5 Amei ican catalogues are too old to
have much value, only catalogues of
machinery, machine tools, and con-
struction machinery being recent
enough to retain. Any catalogues ot
oihc-r lines of goods that are receive'!
will be displayed in a prominent place

Iniportafion.s of Cement into Bahia,
Brazil

The normal requirements of cement
for the Bahia consular market district
are between 35.000 and 50.000 barrels
per year, the bulk of this amount being
consumed by the Bahia port works and
the French, British, and Bahia State-
owned railways. The importations
during the year 1920 amounted to 35.-
371 barrels of 396 pounds each, as
compared with 59,181 barrels for 1919
and 15,255 barrels for the preceding
year. The record year for cement im-
portations was 1914. when 72,692 bar-
rels were imported.

Importations of Cement into Porto
Aleerre

Leading Importers of cement in
Porto Alegre, Brazil, have Informed

Consul Samuel T. Lee that the normal
requirements of that market are esti-
mated at between 150,000 and 200,000
barrels of 150 kilos each (a kilo equals
2.2 pounds). At present considerable
British cement is being sold at Porto
.\Iegre. where the British hold ad-
vantage both as to price and long
standing in the market, their product
being represented by their own well-
established firms, while American
sales are usually in the hands of other
nationals.

RESIDENCES COMPRISE THIRD OF
BUILDING

Contracts awarded during the first
half of 1921 in the 27 northeastern
states of the country amounted to $1,-
066.256.000. according to statistics
collected by the F. VV. Dodge Com-
pany. This amount is 91,4% greater
than the average semi-annual total for
the preceding 5 years. Classification
of construction activities is a very
good index of the business and
economic situation in that territory.
Residential building comprises 34% ot
the total for the six months of 1921;
public works and utilities 23%; busi-
ness buildings l'iV2%, educational
buildings 10% and industrial build-
ings 8%. The large percentage of resi-
dential work indicates the great
urgency of housing and the large per-
centage of public work reflects the
efforts to take up the slack in labor
resulting from depression in industrial
lines.

Contracts awarded in the 27 north-
eastern states in June aggregated
$227,711,000, which is 6% less than in
May. This slight recession is attribut-
ed largely to price and wage readjust-
ments which have been accompanied
by suspension of work in many in-
stances and have had a tendency to
deter prospective bidders from closing
contracts. Reports from the east indi-
cate that the tide in business has
turned upward, but a gradual rather
than a quick return to normal pros-
perity is to be expected, and the trend
of building will probably follow the
line of general business improvement.

.4S Ol'R NEIGHBORS SEE! US

of July 20,

The Santa Cruz —
says:

"Further reductions in building costs
have been recorded in the last 30 days,
according to builders and contractors
in various sections of the West. Lum-
ber, which has made the biggest slump
of all building materials, is now sell-
ing in the Northwest at prices repre-
senting approximately a 50 per cent
reduction over 1920 prices. Labor costs
have likewise been materially reduced.

"Plumbing, plastering, brick and con-
crete work, excav., paints and painting,
heating and all other major items en-
tering into the cost of home building,
show a decided drop, ranging from 10
to 50 per cent, material men and build-
ers say.

"Real estate, in many sections, is
lower than it has been for some years.

"Due to refusal of building trades
organizations in San Francisco to con-
sider a 7't; per cent reduction in wages
a strike has resulted which has caused
construction stagnation and unemploy-
ment in that city, while other sections
of the country have shown increasing
activity.

"Labor costs must drop with mate-
rial costs, or labor will be out of em-
ployment. The San Francisco situa-
tion is an object lesson by which the
whole West should profit."

An Illinois inventor has combined
with a heavy duty snowplow for rail-
roads a device that cleans the rails and
enables locomotive and care wheels to
get good traction.

.\ tabulation of construction con-
tracts awarded during the first half of
1921 made by Engineering News-

It-cted from all parts of the U. S. shows
a total valuation of $579,249,777. A
tabulation of similar reports for the
first half of 1920 shows a total valua-
tion of $968,685,857. These reports do
not include residential building or

It will be noted that the greatest ac-
tivity prevails in engineering con-
struction which is made up almost
wholly of public or quasi-public pro-
jects. Street and road contracts for

1921 exceed those for 1920 by $17,591,.
557. There is a gain also of $4,164,744
in value of waterworks contracts and
a gain of $5,679,816 in value of sewer
contracts. This is a total gain of $27.-
436,127 for these three cla.ssifications
as compared with 1920.

Waterworks, sewers, streets and
roads may properly be disignated as
urgent construction because as a rule
they are not undertaken until real
necessity arises. A large number of
these projects might have deferred
for a time, however, had it not been
for the Industrial and business de-
pression throughout the country as re-
flected by the recession in industrial
and general building construction
Public works furnish a convenient
means of taking up some of the slack
labor in time of stress. For this rea-
son public construction activities are
always pushed during such periods.

Street and road work are particularly
advantageous in periods of unemploy-
ment as they can absorb a larger pro-
portion of unskilled labor than any
other class of construction. It is for-
tunate that so much highway construc-
tion was pending when the industrial
depression set in throughout the east
and middle west and that funds were
available to carry it on; otherwise
months would have elapsed before, a
very large proportion of the work
could have been started.

CITY EXGIXEER O'SHAtJGHXESSY
OBJECTS TO .\rTOS IX TCNXEI,

City Engineer M, M. O'Shaughnessy
in a report to Supervisor James Power
on the feasibility of using the Twin
Peaks tunnel for motor and other
vehicular traffic outlined many objec-
tions to the plan.

Most important of the difflculties.
O'Shaughnessy said, was the problem
of adequate ventilation. With use of
the tunnel by motor cars it would be
absolutely necessary to provide safety
from the noxious exhaust gases, the
city engineer said, citing a case in Los
Angeles, where in a tunnel only one-
fourth as long as the Twin Peaks
tunnel many women and children had
been overcome by exhaust gas when a
motor car parade passed through the
tunnel.

Another thing to be considered, he
said, was the tremendous expense in-
volved in adapting the tube to motor
traffic. He cited the expense of tear-
ing up live miles of steel rails In the
tunnel, as a different type of rail
would have to be used, and the cost
of laying: pavement. At the time the
tunnel was built, he said. It would
probably have cost In the neighbor-
hood of $1,500,000 to have adapted It
to universal vehicle trafflc. With

present market conditions on mate-
rials, he intimated that it would now
cost a great deal more.

STAGIVATIOIV EXISTS IN BUILDING
INDUSTRY

According to a tabulation of wages
in groups ot cities throughout the
country prepared by the Engineering
News-Record, hod carriers are better
paid in Los Angeles than in any other
city. This table shows the wage in
Los Angeles to be ?l-12'/4 per hour,
while in San Francisco it is |1. In
other cities the wage ranges from 40
to 87^4 cents, except at Atlanta, Ga.,
where it is 30 cents.

A reduction in wages from $11 to ?10
per day has been voluntarily made by
the bricklayers union of Visalia. A
rtduclion to $8 per day is being con-
sidered by the carpenters union of the
same city. Building trades in Han-
ford are also moving- to lower the wage
scale. Plumbers have accepted a re-
duction ot ?1 per day and carpenters
contemplated similar action. Hod car-
riers are considering a new scale ot
|5, $6 and ?" per day for common labor
in cement work, motar mixing and
tempering, as compared with the pres-
ent scale of ?6, |7 and $8 per day.

Work on the Don Pedro dam which
is to be built Jointly by the Turlock
and Modesto Irrigation Districth in
Stanislaus County has been started
with a grand rush. The railroad from
Rosasco to Don Pedro to carry ma-
terials and supplies to the dam has
been completed and excavation for the
foundation ot the dam is under way,
more than 200 men now being employ-
ed at Don Pedro. It is expected that
the project, which will cost more than
$4,000,000 will be completed for the ir-
rigation season of 1923.

Asa G. Proctor, County Engineer of
Yolo, won a battle against the S. P.
at Woodland when he commanded 200
men against 50 railroad defenders. The
latter withdrew and left the victors
free to lay a strip ot pavement over
which the battle raged. The county
wanted to pave a strip leading up to
the S. P. bridge at Grafton. The com-
jiany objected and threatened to fight
with steam from a locomotive if any
one approached the bridge. Asa
threatened to throw the S. P. people
in the river, and went ahead with his
work, whereupon the railroad forces
withdrew.

Further indication that "San Fran-
cisco Knows How": A letter from
Mayor Sun Fo of Canton, China, asks
Mayor Jas. J. Rolph, Jr., for some
ideas in building a modern city. The
old wall surrounding Canton has been
lorn down. Mayor Sun Fo writes, and
the municipality is ready to erect a
modern city, so information regarding
street car systems, electric lights,
waterworks, sewers, playgrounds and
other modern features is needed.

Dullness of the lumber market on
the Pacific Coast is responsible for a
cut of 5 cents an hour. In effect this

1916 to 1920 the increase in wages for
mills and woodsmen, classed common
labor, was 186 per cent.

According to T. J. Christal. secretary

these machines.

Chester H. Loveland, formerly
hydraulic engineer for the State Rail-
road Commission, has been engaged by
the Benicia City Trustees to make a
physical valuation of the system of the

operation. A movement is on foot,
fathered by the Trustees, toward the
acquisition of a municipal water
system.

The contractors building Oakland's
schools must obtain a permit from the
City Building Dept., according to an
opinion of Deputy City Attorney John
Earl. The building department holds
that the Board of Education is a
separate entity from the city and is
not amenable to the city's building
rules.

The San Francisco section, American
Society of Mechanical Engineers, has
endorsed the bridge-the-bay project.
A resolution presented by E. C. Hutch-
inson, chairman of the section, de-
clared: "Better and adequate means
of communication between the East
bay cities and San Francisco will tend
to bring these communities close to-
gether and make for the civic and com-
mercial betterment of the entire bay

Chas. F. Ott, chief paving inspector
for the City of Oakland, died suddenly

Boosters in Tracy, San Joaquin

well known in San Francisco and Ala-
meda counties, having been connected
with the lumber interests for the past
ten years, a greater part of which time
he represented the Sunset Lumber Co.
of Oakland.

Despite predictions to the contrary
and several recent attempts to start
"build now " movements, the building
industry, according to current re-
ports, remains stagnant. That such
should be the case is not surprising.
Factors which originally checked the
building program are still operating
in many instances. Labor efficiency
is reported to have improved meas-
urably, but as far as can be learned
not a great deal of progress has been
made in materially cutting wages.
Prices of building materials are still
much higher in relation to pre-war
levels than are prices generally.

There is but one basis on which
there is likely to be a general revival
of building, and that is one ot costs
which render the industry capable of
attracting investors. It would be well
if certain of our legislators, a number
of our reformers and labor and the
building material industries in gen-
eral were to learn this elementary
truth once for all — Commercial News.

BUILDING AND ENGINEERING NEWS

Truck Loads and the Design of Highways in California

I'HRIS r. JEN'SKN. Con my Surv(
.July, 1921

An expenditure, in round numbers,
of approximately $125,000,000 has
been made by the State of California,
and various counties of the State,
for highway construction. Whether
these highways have been designed
with due regard to relative perma-
nency, ease of repair and mainten-
ance, and to the increasing volume of
heavy duty transportation, is not nec-
essarily material, but the important
fact is that the work has been done:
and the financial investment made in
the execution of that work is of such
magnitude that it can not be dis-
regarded. It must be protected.

Another fact which the various
county communities must bear in mind
is that until our Stale laws are
changed, we face a statutory limita-
tion on bond issues. Many of the
counties of the State have already
practically exhausted the five per
cent bonding capacity allowed by law,
so that, even if we felt inclined to
rebuild present hi;'''-vays, we could
not legally do so except by the long
• dious and unsatisfactory process of
i rect taxation.

We often listen to the argument
that, as railroads are continually in-
creasing the weight of their roadbeds
to keep pace with increasing trans-
portation demands, so State and coun-
ties should increa.se the strength of
their highways to permit of the pre-
vailing tendency of truck operators to
increase loads. This argument, how-
ever, emanates mostly from truck
owners, and particularly from com-
mercial truck operators.

With whom should the determina-
tion of load carrying capacity of our
highways be left for decision? Should
it be the small proportion of coni-
mercial truck interests, or should it
not rather be the province of the
greater tax paying majority, speaking
through their duly elected representa-
tives?

I'ercentaee of Trucks Small
We find from statistics that only
al>out ten per cent of the halt million
motor registrations in California, are
for trucks; and of this ten per cent
it would be safe to assume that at
least halt are used for private and
limited purposes. It is not conceiv-
able that the farmer or other non-
commercial owner of a small truck,
would knowingly advocate a course
of construction involving dispropor-
tionate expenditure, or advocate an
• xoessive loading of trucks when such
[•rocedure would result in heavy main-
nance and repair costs to be charged
■ ick. in part, to himself.

As for the commercial truck in-
I. rests, representing perhaps 25,000
cut of 500,000 motor vehicle registra-
tions, and their plea that highways
should be built heavier in similar
manner to railroad practice, we are
not unmindful of the fact that the
bt-neficial use of such trucks is of
tangible value to the general com-
munity public as well as to the owner
or operator. The operator is inter-
ested directly in the immediate finan-
cial returns for service rendered; the
general public is interested more or
less indirectly from the fact tliat such
service is available for the distribu-
tion of produce, for affording rapid
transportation of farm products to
commercial centers. and to act aa
feeders to our railroads at a reason-
able co.xt. We recoKni/,. tlinl suili
trucks have become an integral part
of our commercial life, and as much
Of a necessity as the telephone. How-

ever, the number of trucks need not
be limited, and it is self evident that
conditions may arise which would
render advisable the limiting of loads
and increasing the number of trucks
necessary to haul a given tonnage.
Such procedure should not in any
sense be taken as a remonstrance
against the commercial truck, as such.
The relief sought is to so regulate the
operation of trucks as to protect pres-
ent highway investments, and to make
such adjustment as will permit the
construction of a maximum mileage of
new highways, consistent with reason-
able stability and funds available. The
numerical increase of trucks of light
tonnage will not endanger highways
nearly so much as the increase of ton-
nage on fewer trucks.

ConiparlsonH

In this connection let us not over-
look the following facts: (1) that
railroads do not ask the public to
pay for their roadbeds except as the
costs may be reflected in the freight
rates; (2) that the commercial truck
companies charge a freight rate some-
what similar to the railroads, and in
addition expect the public to buiid the
ro.-idbed and to build it heavy enough
to carry their loads.

Ilailroad companies devote all their
energy to the consideration of trans-
portation problems, but transportation
is but one of the countless problems
facing political bodies. So, when we
find ourselves limited by law, to say
$1,000,000 for highway construction, it
would seem, even from the commercial
truck operators' viewpoint, that this
sum should be spent for a total of 40
miles of highway suitahle to carry a
total unit load of approximately 20.nno
ll)S.. rather than 20 miles of highway
made suitable to carry a total unit
load of 40.000 lljs. In other words,
should highways lie constructed of
such strength and consequent limita-
tions in mileage, as to permit, say ten
producers to haul their products on
one load, or should highways be con-
structed of reasonable strength and
increased mileage, thereby permitting
20 producers to enjoy the benefits of
a paved highway for reasonable load-

.(ohn X. Mackall. chief engineer of
the Maryland Slate Roads Commission,
"l)elieves that the claims for greatly
reduced transportation charges by the
use of extremely large motor truck
units are generally greatly exagger-
ated. Recalling that Maryland had to
spend $600,000 to repair roads rendered
useless by a comparatively few ex-
cessively heavy trucks, he believes
th.Tt in the year prior to the passage
of the amended vehicle law. if all loads
on .T-ton trucks had actually been
carried on 3-ton units, the loss to the
operators would not have exceeded
$15,000. This amount, insignificant in
comparison with more than half a
million dollars required to rebuild the
Slate highway of vehicle load restric-
tions now in system, is cited to sup-
pi rl Ibe policy force."

Would RalHp HlKhwBj- Cont

Highways of reasonable strength,
cost approximately $25,000 per mile,
and highways of extra heavy construc-
tion, cn'-.t not less than $50 nnn p<T mile,
as exemplified by the cost of the special
truck boulevard leading from l..os
Anciles to Wilmington. Having In
mind the great proportion of lighter
vehicles as au'aiist Ibe limil'd nunilicr
of heavy duty trucks, the greater
mileage of reasonably strong high-

ways surely is desiraljie from the
standpoint of universal use. Kurther-
more, with this question put squarely
up to the commercial truck operator,
it would l>e surprising if he did not say
he would be glad to reduce his load
and accept the greater mileage of
highway.

The time has arrived when a maxi-
mum limitation on loads must be deter-
mined and that such regulation be
strictly and uniformly enforced. This
determination must be made with duo
regard to universal, not specialized,
service; to load bearing capacities of
standard types of pavements; and
lastly, to unit costs as related to total
available funds allowed by the stat-
utes.

It is advisable that such limitation
be placed at about "00 lbs. static
weight, per sq. in. of contact surface
between highway and tire, or an
equivalent in terms of channel width
of tire. Arguments in support of this
limitation will follow, and such limita-
tion should hold until further improve-
ments in truck and highway construc-
tion are developed.

The KiiKlnecr'it Problem

To the lay mind, the engineer's work
should be without error, and in most
cases this would be true If all condi-
tions could be correctly anticipated.
l)ut the highway designer's work is
necessarily based upon assumptions
which do not always prove true. To
predetermine all possible conditions
and to construct a faultless pavement
against all possible contingencies
would be prohibitive in point of time,
expense, and construction costs; for
instance, without disproportionate ex-
pense, the engineer cannot (1) pre-
determine the bearing power of every
square foot of subgrade. (2) predeter-
mine the percentage of moisture which
may enter the subgrade (and this is
conceded to be a very material element
affecting the life of a pavement). (3)
guard against an unequal settlement
of subgrade. with consequent fracture
or settlement of the pavement, (4) pre-
determine and guard against all pos-
sible variations of expansion and con-
traction due to temperature and mois-
ture conditions, and (5) rely on any
specific impact condition.

Impact is the most dangerous ele-
ment entering into the consideration
of motor trafiic and its elTect on im-
proved highways; it is generally ex-
pressed in terms of the equivalent of
static load (load at rest). Factors
influencing impact are (1) speed of
truck, (2) weight of unsprung loud
(load below springs). (3» weight of
sprung load (load above springs). (4)
condition of tires, (5) depth of depres-
sion or rut In highway, and (6) height
of obstruction on highway.
Some TpMt RrHUltN

.\s a result of tests now being made
by the I'nited States Offlci- of Public
Roads. We discover that certain of our
recognized theories fall when subjected
to practical tests. As an Instance, In
ore of Ihese tests referred to a stand-
ard 3H-ton truck, carrying a total load
on one rear wheel of 7750 lt»s. iof
which 1837 lbs. was unsprung), was
caused to run over a sharp depre.s^<lon
of .1 inches, at a speed of I."' miles per
hour, and again the same trmk and

3.fi times the static load. Computa-
tions based on acceleration of gravity
would not produce the same result.
Again it is usually considered that
impact varies as the square of the
speed: the tests disprove this theory,
Init have not gone far enough to de-
termine with accuracy, the actual re-
lationship existing between them, it
being, however, somewhere between
a direct ratio and a ratio involving
the square of the speed.

rteferring to the test producing
2.S.000 lbs., impact pressure through
a drop of Vt in., the test as reported
does not reveal the contact width of
tire; it is reasonably safe, however,
for our purpose, to assume that the
tire had a contact width of 10 in., and
it would not be unreasonable to assume
a linear contact with highway (parallel
with direction of load) of one inch, as
certainly would be the case with a tire
considerably worn. On such reasonable
assumptions we then have an impact
load of 2S00 lbs. per sq. in. This is a
little less than the compressive
strength of the concrete. In similar
manner the test showing an impact
load of 42,000 lbs. under one wheel
would indicate a pressure of 4200 lbs.
per sq. in. — greatly in excess of the
carrying capacity of the concrete.

As is well known, the Office of
Public Roads has recently completed
an examination, and report, on the
California highway system. From the
report we learn that the resistance of
the concrete roads to crushing weights
(compression) is fairly equivalent to
3300 lbs. per sq. in. This, by the way,
is an excellent result, showing the
concrete to be well made, and it may
be said in passing that the tests on
new concrete made by the University
of California in connection with the
Auto Club's investigation showed
strength of only about 2400 lbs. per
aq. in.

view of the well known facts of over-
view of the well known facts over-
loads and excessive speeds, we cease
to wonder why our State highways
are deteriorating so rapidly. The facts
are evident, and the results should
arouse us from our lethargy to a care-
ful consideration of the proper limita-
tions to be put on our trafhc.

Other Dangers

The crushing effect of impact is not
the only serious element of danger
to our highways: we have also the
tensile strain an ony portion of a
pavement where the subgrade sup-
port is inadequate or lacking entirely.
Assuming a piece of plain hydraulic
concrete pavement bridging over a
span of 3 ft. in length, of defective
suligrade. such concrete being 6 in.
thick, we find that it will safely sup-
port a load equivalent to only 9000 lbs.
In order to safely carry a load on one
wheel of. say, the 28,000 lbs. above
mentioned, it should have either a total
thickness of 10 in., or be heavily rein-
forced with steel fabric.

In actually designing a pavement,
it would be needless to make a design
to carry more in tensile strength than
tile equivalent of the crushing strength
— say. 3300 lbs. per sq. in., but even
this, as a means of overcoming defec-
tive subgrades, would he extremely
heavy insurance; we might better pay
more attention to securing a firmer and
more uniform subgrade — or devote our
attention to a pavement which will
accomodate itself to the unavoidable
ineriualities of subgrade and one which
will be susceptible of easy restoration
to a uniform surface.

In passing, it might be mentioned
tliat in the impact tests above re-
ferred to it has been found that the
unsprung weight of trucks has an
effect upon impact far in excess of a
similar sprung weight, and that such
effect is probably in direct proportion
to such unsprung weight. The thought

in this is that truck manufacturers
could materially assist in the mainten-
ance of highways by constructing the
trucks with a reasonable minimum of
weight l)elow the springs, and more
uniformly distributed as between front
and rear axles.

Limitation Fair

Considering trucks made as at pres-
ent, with a maximum load disposition
of approximately 800 lbs. per inch
width of tire, in conjunction with the
results of the tests made by the Office
of Public Roads, showing an impact
pressure of 5.4 times the static load,
or 4320 lbs. per sq. in. at a 15 mile
speed, and bearing in mind that
hydraulic concrete will crush under a
weight of 3300 lbs. per sq. in., as
shown by the report on our state high-
ways, it can readily be seen that a
limitation of 700 lbs. per in. of tire is
not only fair, but necessary, if we have
any regard for our present investment.
The 700 lb. maximum regulation would
allow of an impact pressure, such as
would be obtained from the same load
as mentioned in the test, traveling at
the same speed, and falling through a
height of one-half in.

It must, furthermore, be presumed
that speed regulations will also be
made, and that proper tire conditions
will be consistent. Then again, any
legislation in this regard must assume
that pavements will not be allowed to
deteriorate to such an extent that the
resultant impact pressure will exceed
the crushing limitations of the con-
crete.

It would appear that the proper
theoretical method of regulation loads
would be to test each make and size
of truck, with its load, sprung and
unsprung, under maximum impact con-
ditions, as predetermined by the State
authorities, and then by the necessary
number of trials, arrive at the loading
which could be used on each kind of
truck, without exceeding the structural
strength of the pavement.
Suggesited Test

To explain further, let us assume
the following fixed conditions of a
test:

1. A maximum speed of 15 miles per
hour.

2. A maximum depression of one-
half inch in the pavement.

3. A minimum of one inch of rubber
beyond the tire rim.

4. A maximum structural strength
of 3300 lbs. per sq. in.

Then, as a variable condition of tlie
test, a certain superimposed load is
applied, and the test made, resulting
in an impact pressure of, say, 4000
lbs. per sq. in. Such loading being in
excess of the structural strength of the
pavement, it must be reduced. Tests
should then be continued with grad-
ually reducing loads until the impact
pressure does not exceed the structural
limitations of the pavement. This
finally determined weight of super-
imposed load will then become the
legal rating for the make and size of
truck tested.

If desired, instead of making the
speed a fixed condition, and the load
a variable condition, the load could
be made a fixed, and speed the variable
condition, to be determined in similar
manner, by the test.

Types of Pavement

The following discussion is directed
to the consideration of the proper
design of pavements contemplated in
the future:

Broadly speaking, pavements may be
divided into three classes, so far as
general California practice is con-
cerned:

1. The rigid type.

2. The flexible type.

3. Combination of the rigid and
flexible types.

With the exception of rock mac-
adam and oiled macadam types, the
above three types are also those most

in evidence throughout the United
States.

Of the first type mentioned, plain
hydraulic concrete is the most com-
mon example; of the second type, the
asphaltic concrete is the most common
example; and the third type is but a
combination of hydraulic concrete base
supporting a wearing surface of as-
phaltic concrete.

The only practical difference, so far
as ingredients are concerned, between
the rigid and flexible types, is in the
binding agency; in the former, hydrau-
lic cement is used, forming a brittle
and inelastic liond between the rock
and sand particles; in tile latter, as-
phaltic cement is used, forming a
tough, flexible bond between the rock
and sand particles of the aggregate.
In practice the weight of a cubic foot
of hydraulic concrete, as shown in
the report of the Office of Public Roads,
previously referred to. is 150 lbs.; the
weight of a cubic foot of asphaltic con-
crete, as shown by tests made for
Fresno County, is 155 lbs., and this in
spite of the low specific gravity of
asphalt and high specific gravity of
Portland cement.

The nature of hydraulic concrete
(the rigid type) is such that it cannot
readily absorb and resist the internal
forces set up by expansion and con-
traction; neither can it readily absorb
the dangerous element of impact, un-
less the subgrade is uniform and un-
yielding, or unless the pavement is
heavily reinforced against inequalities
of subgrade. When the forces, either
internal or external, go beyond the
structural limitations, the result is a
fracture, leading gradually to disinte-
gration under impact.

Asithnltie Conerete

The nature of asphaltic concrete (the
flexilile type) is such that it is readily
susceptible to, and absorbs the internal
forces set up by temperature changes,
and offers a resilient and flexible re-
sistance to shock or impact. Under
excess loading or impact pressure, it
follows the settlement of the subgrade,
witliout fracture and disintegration, re-
sulting in a "wave." In speaking of
asphalt pavements herein, they should
not be confused with the oiled mac-
adam pavements frequently but erron-
eously styled "black base" pavements.

True asphalt pavement mixtures are
always mixed and properly propor-
tioned in a plant constructed for the
luirpose.

Over a defective subgrade, and under
excess loading, the rigid type of pave-
ment will need entire replacement with
consequent inconvenience to traffic,
while the non-rigid, or flexible pave-
ment can readily he repaired by the
application of additional asphaltic
material on its surface, and with only
a few minutes interruption to traffic.

Fractures in hydraulic concrete pave-
ments cannot be healed. Fractures in
asphaltic pavements have a tendency
to heal themselves under traffic, on ac-
count of the tenacious character of the
asphalt or bitumen.

A hydraulic concrete surface, when
new, presents a smoother riding sur-
face than asphaltic concrete, and is
not so dangerous from the standpoint
of skidding in wet weather. Neither
is the tractive resistance so great as
in asphaltic concrete during warm
weather, but on the other hand, the
life of tires on a hydraulic concrete
surface is said to be materially shorter
than on asphaltic pavements.
Combination Type

The third type, being a combination
of the rigid and non-rigid or flexible
types, is used in an attempt to employ
a rigid base to bridge over inequalities
of the subgrade. and a flexible top or
wearing surface to absorb impact. This
form of construction will carry a
heavier load than plain hydraulic con-
crete, because the load applied to each
si|uarc inch of the surface is distributed

age continuously, it is a foregone con-
clusion that still greater importance
will have to be attached to proper
preparation of the subgrade if we are
to have general success with our
future pavements.

"When an asphaltic concrete base
is used, a first class subgrade, proof
against any side infiltration of water,
is essential, as such a base, not being
in the nature of a rigid slab, has little
or no power to bridge over weak spots
in the subgrade. This is by no means
a defect, as it places the responsibility
of carrying the load squarely where it
belongs on the earth, instead of rely-
ing on a comparatively thin and
weakly supported slab to carry heavy
loads over soft places.

"On an adequate subgrade an asphal-
tic concrete base has ample stability
to transmit the heaviest loads. It is
presumed that the angle of diffusion
of loads is approximately the same for
asphaltic concrete as for Portland
cement concrete, and when we take
into consideration the factor of resil-
iency and absorption of impact it is
reasonable to suppose that the same
or less thickness of asphaltic concrete
would be equivalent to a given thick-
ness of Portland cement concrete in
transmitting loads."

ing engineers of Los Angeles and San
Francisco, to supervise the construc-

Suit has been brought to enjoin the
carrying out of the contract in order
to test its validity. O. A. Helsa. a citi-
zen of Prescott. being the plaintiff. It
is contended in the petition that the!
contract is void because there is no ;
vacancy in the office of highway engi-
neer and the contract would delegate
illegally the powers and duties of the
highway commission. Mr. Helsa de-
clares he has no desire to delay the.
construction of the highways and thai'j
his sole motive is to settle any ques-;
tions there may be affecting the'
validity of the contract.

m TTK rOINTY HIGHWAYSYSTEMS
FACE TIE-UP

Work on the Butte County highway
system will probably be dlsconltnued
due to inability of the Supervisors to
dispose of the bonds, according to H.
H. Hume. County Engineer, who de-
clares out of the original $1, 800,000
bonds issued only JoOO.OOO have been
sold and this amount will be used up
by the first of the year. Unless addi-
tional bonds bearing five per cent in-
terest can be sold the good roads work
will be forced to stop.

There are two alternatives. Engineer
Hume says, one of which is the pay-
ment of contractors in bonds, which
is not regarded with favor as the
contractors would make up the dis-
count in higher bids which would eat
seriously into the road funds. The
other alternative would be to with-
draw the 5 per cent bonds and pass
another bond Issue bearing a higher
rate of interest.

SAYS SURETY COMPANY BONDS
UNNECESS.ARY

Repeal of a resolution passed last
winter requiring all contractors bid-
ding on school contracts to submit
bonds furnished by surety companie.s
has been asked by E. C. Hemmlngs of
the Architectural and Engineering
Commission of the Sacramento City
Board of Education. Architect Hem-
mlngs recommends that the contrac-
tors be allowed to furnish bonds en-
dorsed by responsible persons willing
to submit a statement of their prop-

erties. On three previous bids the
surety companies exacted IH per cent
of the contracts. Hemmlngs said,
which has cost the city an approxi-
mate total of J 10,000. Under the reso-
lution, he said, local contractors are
forced to deal with the surety com-
panies when they could furnish satis-
factory bond wit^ut the extra ex-
pense.

NORTHKRN" CALIFORNIA LEADS
IN ELECTRICAL DEVELOPMENT

BUILDING AND ENGINEERINQ NEWS

Saturday, July 30, 1921

San Francisco and Northern Cali-
fornia hold more world records in
electrical development than any other
community. in the United States.

This fact is emphasized In a report
written for the San Francisco Chamber
of Commerce by Robert L. Eltringham.
manager of the California Electrical
Co-operative Campaign, the educa-
tional organization maintained by the
electrical industry with headquarters
in San Francisco.

Here are some of the premier rec-
ords held by San Francisco and North-
ern California in electrical aevelop-
ment;

The largest oil-burning, steam-gen-
erating unit in the world is the San
Francisco plant of the Pacific Gas &
Electric Company, of 76,000 Horse-
power, or 1,368,000 kilowatt hours
daily capacity.

The largest hydro-electric plant west
of the Mississippi sends its energy to
San Francisco, this being the Great
Western Power Company's plant at Big
Bend, on the Feather River, of 87,000
horsepower.

Northern California has the highest
voltage transmission line in the world
in the Great Western Power Com-
pany's 165.000 volt line from the Cari-
bou plant on the Feather River to San
Francisco, a distance of 186 miles.

This is to be surpassed by the project
under construction by the Pacific Gas
& Electric Company, from Pit River to
San Francisco, a 220.000 volt trans-
mission line.

The three largest high voltage sub-
marine cables in the world are under
San Francisco Bay. These are the
cables of the Great Western Power
Company from Oakland to San Fran-
cisco, the largest being 22.050 feet
long and the shortage 18,705 feet. All
three are operated at 11,000 volts.

The second largest electrical aerial
span in the world is that of the Pacific
Gas & Electric Company across Car-
(juinez Straits, 4427 feet.

The California-Oregon Power Com-
pany, with home offices in San Fran-
cisco, serves a territory in Northern
California and Southern Oregon of
15,000 square miles — an area as large
as Massachusetts. Rhode Island and
Connecticut combined.

T!ie Pacific Gas & Electric Company
is the largest power company west of
Chicago, serving an aggregate area of
square miles greater than that served
by the entire 240 companies operating
in New England. It supplies 260.356
consumers with electrical energy.

TO ESTABLISH SBAA'AGE FARM .\T
BURBANK

Permission has been secured by the
City of Burbank from the State Board
of Health for the establishment of a
sewage farm and operation of a sew-
age treatment plant and the way is
now clear for the construction of a
sewer system. Bonds to the amount of
$140,000 have been voted and they will
now be offered for sale. Koebig &

Angeles, are preparing plans for the
sewer system and will supervise Its
construction.

QUANTITY SURVEYS

By ARTHUR PRIDDLB

This subject is getting to have some-
thing of interest for architects, con-
tractors and owners — judging from the
fact that there has been considerable
attention given to it and notices or
effusions on the subject in different
periodicals during the past few months.
It seems to be getting to be under-
stood that it is no joke — though the
way this service has been performed
or obtained in these United States up
to the present writing would indicate
that it has not yet gotten very far
past that stage.

The Scotch "guess an' be "

system still obtains in most places and
with many contractors throughout the
land and it takes "Brave men with
their eyes shut" to take chances that
are taken with the present system — if
such it can be called.

The man commonly called the quan-
tity surveyor and estimator — one or
either or both^and is a specialist; he Is
not the contractor, nor is the con-
tractor the quantity surveyor and
estimator — he has other business ac-
tivities. Neither is he the architect-
engineer for the same reason. The
quantity surveyor and estimator is a
specialist in his line and is interme-
diary between architect-engineer and
contractor and he is a very necessary
adjunct to both.

The quantity surveyor devotes his
time to a critical and analytical exam-
ination of plans and details and the
explanatory specifications or bill of
particulars or bill of purchase and sale
as it should be called, with the sole
object of listing the requirements for
the work, for the purpose of giving che
contractor a correct basis for making
up his bid. He actually does what the
boy does who tears tlie bit of mach-
inery to pieces to "see the wheels go
round," finds out and lists how much
of what it is made of, according to the
specifications.

The quantity surveyor and estimator
is the best judge of the value of a
piece of work on account of his close
touch with the labor and material mar-
kets and the general elements of the
contracting business.

The quantity surveyor and estimator
is the best judge of the cost of doing
a piece of work from the present plans
on account of his varied experience in
handling projects of many kinds and
if he is a practical, experienced man
in the business, without doubt his
services should be used in connection

with any important project and all
projects are of some importance in
that they involve the expenditure of
money for labor and materials, placed
in certain positions.

One thing is certain — there is only
one quantity in a building — excavating,
concrete, brick, steel, lumber, plaster,
etc., etc.. etc. — and if the describing
and delineating documents are precise
and clear as they should be, the quan-
tity surveyor can tell what that quan-
tity is to a nicety.

While the United States is not quite
ready for the quantity survey system
as used in such countries as the United
Kingdom and its colonies — there seems
to be quite a leaning towards a hank-
ering for service of something of the
same nature.

Some of the Fublic Works Commis-
sions and the engineering departments
of large private concerns have made
and furnished quantity surveys on the
works being considered, yet, even in
such cases the writer has seldom
noticed a plan, specifications and quan-
tity list that was absolutely guaran-
teed as the quantity list of materials
required for the work — as a purchase
and sale — the saving clause to the de-
signer and owner "the list herewith is
not guaranteed, but to be used as a
guide," is usually appended; what good
is such a list — the contractor has to
make Iiis certifying quantity survey
anyway: therefore, the time spent by
the engineer in the first place ia of no
value and is an expensive and very
nearly useless waste of time. Yes,
much worse than a waste of time only,
as the time spent could have been de-
voted to matters of greater moment
and which are being neglected while
the "size-up" quantity lists are being
taken out.

The writer is not at this time adro-
cating the quantity survey systein;
lie thinks we are a long way removed
from that desideratum — he does, how-
ever, think there is a happy medium
that could be applied at a very short
date and much time and money be
saved to the contractors and architect-
engineers.

If our practical estimators, quantity
surveyors, contractors, architects and
engineers and possibly some of the
owners who do continuous building
would get in and discuss the matter,
some progress would be made towards
getting this feature of the contracting
business on to a better basis.

Million Dollar Investment by Nev
York Concern

By papers placed on record today,
William Fox, president of the Fox Film
Corporation, has purchased a piece of
property on the east side of Broad-
way, about 150 feet north of 17th St..
with a frontage of 1.56 feet and a
depth of 150 feet. Including a 50-foot
L on 19th .St., from Frank Proctor and
the McDermott Estate. The price of
the property has not been made pub-
lic, but it is in the neighborhood of
$500,000.

A. C. Blumenthal & Co., who will
handle the property for the Fox peo-
ple, stated that they have been au-
thorized to lease the present stores on
the present property only from week
to week, and that plans are now un-
der way by Weeks & Day and Maury
Diggs, architects, for the construc-
tion of a theatre to cost at least three
quarters of a million dollars. The
plan of this theatre provides for a 40-
foot entrance on Broadway, the bal-
ance of the frontage devoted to high-
class stores, which will be rented by
this firm to mercantile tenants.

This deal, like the Orpheum, has
has been hanging fire for several
months, but practically creates a new
theatrical district for Oakland. It is
estimated that it will take approxi-
mately two months before the con-
struction will commence, and about
eight months thereafter to complete
the theatre and store building and
have it ready for operation.

Mr. William Fox is one of the most
widely known and succesful film pro-
ducers in the United States, and has a
chain of vaudeville and picture thea-
tres all over the United States, extend-
ing as far as Denver. This Oakland
theatre will mark his entrance to the
Pacific Coast field ,and it is understood
he will immediately build in Oakland,
San Francisco and the Northwest. As
a matter of fact, Mr. Fox is one of
the pioneers of picture and vaudeville
industry, and it is a great compliment
to Oakland that he will commence his
activities on the Pacific Coast in Oak-
land. Oakland is to have at last a
high-class, strictly modern house,
which It has so long needed. Perhaps
Mr. Fox is more recently known by
the production of such super-features
as "The Queen of Sheba," "Over the
Hill," now playing in San Francisco;
"The Connecticut Yankee in King Ar-
thur's Court," and several others.

Mr. Frank Proctor, from whom this
property was purchased, has long been
very much interested in upper Broad-
way, and the selection of this site be-
tween 17th and 19th Sts. on the east
Bide of Broadway corroborates Mr.
Proctor's judgment that the next step
in the development of Oakland would
be in this neighborhood.

A. C. Blumenthal & Co., Inc., who

OLD FAMHIONED HOME! IIEPLACED
BY APARTMENT HOl'SE

The small cities of the United States
are gradually abandoning the old-
fashioned American home for the mod-
ern apartment house.

This fact was revealed In a report
on building operations In this country
In 1920 Issued recently by the Civic De-
velopment Department of the Chamber

Smile! Whistle! Kill Pessimism-
Business Plentiful— Go Get It

An Open Letter Issued by Smith,
Bmery Company, Engineers

For a long time we have been
.systematically fed on pesslrnism
through the press, postal channels.
Trade Organizations, the banks and
our friends, all trying to prove in one
way or another that business, par-
ticularly our business and that of the
(Government. has the Mollygrubs,
doddles, doldrums or what not. Frank-
ly we are sick of the diet. The "worm
has turned.' The time honored "silver
lining" to the cloud is getting so hefty
I hat pretty soon it's going to turn the
old cloud foreside to. You know it
and we know it. Then why the Molly-
grubs?

Now don't call us "nuts" or some
other post-war pet name because we've
cut out the pessimism. We are losing
a little mony, so is everyone else. We
knew we were going to lose it, so let
us be good losers. Whistle! It's better
for the community. If things are not
exactly lively in business and we
don't know just what to do next, re-
member the fellow who had hold of
the grizzly's tail. He had a near-up
problem, fully equal to yours and ours,
but history does not say anything
about his having let go.

There's lots of business to be done;
it's just around the corner. Why not
go after it and help get things started.

Try smiling. Attempt a joke If It
does sound a little thing and hollow.
It may provoke somebody to laugh or
smile at your temerity. Laughs and
smiles are what we want now. Culti-
vate the Bacillus "Cheerfulness." Get
out your forgotten warm handshake
that used to stir the cockles of your
friend's heart. Let us walk around
like we had something Important to
do. What are we afraid of anyway'/
Bugaboos or (loblins? Riley's story
about Goblins was for little "Orphan
Annie" — not for business men with a
world's problem.

It we have failed to do our share In
adjusting prices and wages to where
we know they must go. let us do it
now — deflate — for "we are going over"
and there is no room for slackers or
profiteers but plenty for the real
"American" the finest title In the
world.

Give Harding a chance. His politics
don't matter. He is President of the
United States of America, the greatest
country on this old terrestrial globe.
Give him a square deal. Give Congress
a chance. Get out the constructive
ideas that we have a grasp on. and
fire them along to our congressmen
and Senators. They are human and
will like it. It will help the country.

Give the Stars and Stripes a chance
to flutter in a real American commer-
cial breeze. We know how! Let's go!

of Commerce of the United States.
This report, which was compiled by
the National Chamber in conjunction
with the Federal Bureau of Labor Sta-
tistics, is one of the most complete of
its kind ever prepared, and contains
definite data on the amount of build-
ing construction carried on in the
United States last year.

The building figures show that In
1920, seventy per cent of the families
provided for got one-family dwellings;
eleven per cent two-family dwellings
and nineteen per cent apartments in a
multi-family dwelling. According to
the report, the figures also indicate
that the proportion of multi-family
dwellings that were provided last year
was largest in the small cities which
have not had as much experience with
this type of habitation as the larger
cities. At the same time the report
shows that there was more house
building in proportion to population in
the smaller than in the larger cities.
The new accommodations — house or
apartment — provided in cities ■)t 25,-
000 to 100,000 population was one for
every 258 inhabitants, while in cities of
more than a million population It was
one for every 591 inhabitants, and the
average for all the cities listed was
one for every 350 Inhabitants.

It i.s shown that 1920 was the record
year for sale of bath room equipment
despite the small amount of new resi-
dence building. A great deal of this
equl|)ment was used In the conversion
of one-family dwellings Into tenement
houses. The economic and social
signlHcance of these alterations, the
report says, is of first Importance.

A bank soliciting the required build-
ing information was sent out to the
288 cities In the country having a
population of 25,000 or over. Their
total population was nearly 38 million.
Of these, 131 cities, with a population

of 81.5 per cent of the total, reported.

"It is interesting to note." says the
report, "that of the estimated one
billion forty-three million dollars
spent on buildings in 1920 in the cities
reporting, more than 36 per cent ($382,-
307,000) were devoted to dwellings.
Factories and work shops came second
with 16.8 per cent; stores and mercan-
tile buildings third, with 13.3 per cent;
while office buildings and garages tied
for fourth place with 8.2 per cent
each. Schools, hospitals and charitable
buildings together called for 5.4 per
cent or $77,388,000. Amusement places
co.st more than churches, hospitals or
public buildings, the sum being $38,-
637.000.

"If the rate of building in the non-
reporting cities was the same as in
those which reported, the total number
of building in all the cities of 25.000
or more population may be estimated
at 195.000. at an estimated cost of
$1,280,000,000."

LIFMBER PROnCCTION SHO'WS

TO LINK THREE STATES IN
HIGHAVAY SYSTEM

A movement to unite Southeastern
'Oregon. Northwestern Nevada and
Northeastern California in a road
system that will control Eastern
travel, with San Francisco and Port-
land as the objective points, is now
being outlined by the Northern Cali-
fornia Counties Association. The pre-
liminary work includes interesting the
three Governors, the Boards of Super-
visors of adjoining counties within
the three states, and all active com-
inercial bodies in the zone of activity.
A co-operative plan of road and de-
velopment work, with Klamath Falls.
Ore., Winnemucca and Reno. Nev., and
Alturas. Ager and Susanville, Calif., as
centers, is well, underway.

EARLY CONSTRUCTION OP LUMBER
MILLS ASSURED

According to announcement made by
Vice President O. C. Gritnth of the
Hutchison Lumber Co.. decision has
been reached to start construction of
the company's sawmill, planing mill
and box factory in Oroville. Sept. 1.

Griffith announces the sawmill will
have a daily cutting capacity of 400.-
000 board feet. The mill will be one
of the largest in the West.

It is proposed to have the plants
completed and ready for operation by
April 1, 1922.

Gritnth announced a telegram had
been sent the company's construction
superintendent In West Virginia to
report here by August 10, to begin
assembling crews and material for
the construction work.

CHICAGO IS WORLD'S LUMBER
MARKET

Chicago is the greatest lumber mar-
ket in the world. Since 1890 an aver-
age of over 2,000.000.000 ft. of lumber
has come into Chicago every year. In
1920 the figure was nearly 2,500.000,000
ft., 60 per cent of which went into local
construction and manufacturing indus-
tries. In 1900 the average freight paid
on lumber coming into Chicago was
less than $3 per M ft. Since that time
the local sources of supply for this
territory have been exhausted one
after another. Lumber shipments have
traversed greater and greater dis-
tances, and the average freight bill
paid by the Chicago distributor has
steadily risen to more than J12 per
M ft.

STROBRIDGE, RAILROAD BUILDER,
DIES AT HAYWARD

J. H. E'trobridge. the man who
drove the last and golden spike on
the Central Pacific at Corlnne. near
Ogden, in 1869 — ofRcially tying the
knot in transportation reaching from
coast to coast — and permanently link-
ing the east with the west, died July
27th at his home in Hayward. He
was 96 years old.

Strobridge was known throughout
the world as an engineer and a builder
of railroads and empires and his
career was one of historical romance.

Besides a maker of railroads, he had
been a farmer, a miner, a rancher, a
ttotsl man and a canal builder.

U. S. BUILDING ACTIVITIES

SHOW IMPROVEMENT

With regard to the building situa-
tion. S. W. Straus of S. W. Straus &
Co.. says:

"Building activities throughout the
country show improved tendencies as
we approach mid-season.

"Fundamental conditions at this
time are favorable to a construction
program somewhat in keeping with
the magnitude of the Nation's needs.
Optimism in part is based on the im-
provements which lately have been
shown in the labor situation, which
always is a factor of prime impor-
tance. In various parts of the coun-
try large numbers of the members
of the building crafts have resumed
work, following amicable settlements
of wage disputes, which have gener-
ally been arbitrated along the lines

of slight recessions in wage scales.

"The increased activities which
have been manifested continuously
since February 1 are beginning to
exert an influence in the market for
building materials, which lately has
begun to reflect tendencies toward a
higher range of prices. The pressure
for new work is enormous and the
amount of actual construction under-
taken is not over 50 per cent of the
amount definitely planned.

"Opinion quite generally prevails
that a continuation of present tend-
encies will result in a satisfactory
stabilization of building costs, but,
with such an extensive margin of
demand over supply it is considered
probable that stabilization will be
brought about at levels as high If
not higher than those now In effect."

Have You Received the Price
Stock Bulletin ?

rONTR.*CTORS MAY HEAR CEMENT
TALKS ON REttUEST

Smith Booth Usher Company of Los
Angeles and San Francisco have made
a radical departure from past trade
customs by sending out an illustrated
Price Stock bulletin, which shows in
plain figures the net market price of
every item carried In their immense
stock of machinery, supplies, pipe and
fittings.

This bulletin Is making a tremendous
appeal to the trade in general. It en-
ables the buyer to figure exactly on
the cost of prospectiv equipment, as
the prices are not hidden by a mass of
discounts that open the way to mis-
takes a;id disputes.

It has been their endeavor to mail a
copy of every name on their mailing
list, and they hope that those of their
friends, who may not have received
this bulletin, ' will advise them of the
fact.

Chapters of the Associated General
Contractors and affiliated bodies of
construction men are Invited by the
Portland Cement Assn. to call on that
organization for speakers who will
attend meetings and give talks on
"Recent Developments In Concrete."

Extensive investigations have been
made at the Structural Materials
Research Laboratory of Lewis Institute
as to the best methods of making con-
crete. The results of these Investiga-
tions are set forth by the Cement
Association's speakers.

Headquarters of the association are
at 111 W. Washington St., Chicago, and
there are branches In 21 of the larger
cities throughout the United States.

A portable arc welding plant, to be
carried on a motor truck, portions of
it helping to complete the truck's
power equipment, has been invented by
an Englishman.

A new metal cigar holder has a com-
partment for an unfinished lighted

LUMBER PRICE DECLINE IS
GRE.4^T

The price of lumber has decreased
ipproximately 65 per cent In the past
^ear. according to R. U. Vlnneage,
oresident of the West Coast Lumber-
men's Assn.

The cost of operating the mills,
3n the other hand, has decreased but
35 per cent, he declared.

The bad condition of the lumber
industry at present, he claims, is due
to the tact that despite the decreased
prices there has been no marked In-
crease in lumber sales. The mills can
anly operate at a profit If they are
ibie to handle a large output.

Vinneage declared that before a real
revival ot the lumber industry comes
a lower wage scale in the building
trades must be brought about, and
lower freight rates to Eastern markets
■nuBt be obtained.

, Building activities in San Francisco

'or the month of July show a decided

lecrease as compared with the activi-

les of July. 1920. During the past

nonlh the city building bureau issued

rmils representing construction

-iling tl, 000,240, while for the

; • riod in 1920 364 permits were

I with a valuation of J3, 723. 623.

he July report, all being of a private

lature. Following is a compilation ot

California has been signally honored
in the organization of the Victory
Highway Assn. which will direct the
improvement of the Victory Highway,
the new transcontinental route stretch-
ing from San Francisco to New York
and which will stand as a monument
to those who fought and gave their
lives in the World War.

Milton H. Esberg, chairman of the
Transcontinental Highway Committee
of the California State Automobile
Assn. has been named vice-president
and a director ot the association.
Frank B. McKevitt, the California
State Automobile Assn. director from
Sacramento, has been named a director
and Wm. T. Sesnon, a San Francisco
director ot the Automobile Club, has
been asked to serve with President
Harding and Luther Burbank as one
ot twenty honorary advisors.

Ben Blow, for many years manager
ot the Good Roads Bureau ot the Cali-
fornia State Automobile Assn., will
leave the Automobile Club to become
manager of the Victory Highway Assn.

The Victory Highway Assn. has been
incorporated under the laws of Kansas
tor the purpose of building, road sign-
ing and marking with appropriate
monuments the new transcontinental
route which will assure Northern Cali-
fornia of its just share of the millions
annually spent by motoring tourists in
California.

The plans involve the planting of

trees along the route and the erection
ot terminal statues 12 ft. high of
soldiers in full trench uniform are
proposed to mark the eastern and
western ends ot the highway. They
will be cast in bronze.

In scenic interest the Victory High-
way surpasses any other proposed
transcontinental road. The stretch
between Denver and Salt Lake City
particularly forms one ot the most in-
teresting bits ot road in the United
States, covering the wonderful moun-
tain drive leading out of Denver via
Golden passing the mountain tomb ot
Buffalo Bill, running within a stone's
throw ot Estes Park and thence pass-
ing that great prehistoric graveyard
where one ot the large eastern uni-
versities has a crew ot men constantly
at work excavating and assembling the
bones ot prehistoric monsters. The
road passing through the Wasatah
Mountains to Salt Lake is also dotted
with scenic attractions, while the
Wendover cutoff from Salt Lake City
to Wells is the most unique stretch of
road in the world, constructed as it is
from almost solid salt over a deposit
of unknown depth.

Blow, who leaves to take charge of
the new association has been with the
Automobile Club for 5 years, during
which time he has successfully pro-
moted and handled 11 county highway
bond issues. He is a San Francisco
man and is well known throughout the
West as a good roads authority.

SM.tLL HOl'SES M.VDE OF SHEET
STEEL

Sheet steel houses are the latest
thing in building in the East. A large
number of these are being erected on
Long Island by the International
Housing Corporation, of New York
City.

Frames of the houses are construct-
ed of lumber while the sides and roots
are covered with interlocking steel
strips, galvanized and painted. Root
sheets are bolted to the eaves and
ridges, which are also of sheet steel, on
all tour sides are fastened with
hangers and tie rods from the ridges
to cross T-bars so that the roof and
four walls form a rigid structure.

Interior walls and ceilings are
covered with insulated wall board,
better known as plaster board. All
houses are one story, the largest being
20.\36 ft. outside dimensions.

Standards, No. 181. It is sometimes
desirable from an architectural stand-
point to get a plaster to fit into the
color scheme ot the interior. Several
attempts were made to get colored
plaster, but the method did not prove
satisfactory. A new principle was
suggested a few years ago. An aggre-
gate called "gypsum wood-fibered
plaster" is used. Sand is not used with
this aggregate. The wood fiber Is
dyed the required color with aniline
dyes. The general procedure with the
necessary details are described In the
paper, copy of which can be obtained
from the Superintendent of Documents,
Washington, D. C, for 5 cents.

The Observer

Members of the Contractors' Asso-
ciation ot Northern California were
practically unanimous in voicing
their sentiments in favor ot the Ameri-
can shop plan at an informal dinner
and jollification meeting held July 27.
Executive action in favor of the Ameri-
can plan was voted down by the
membership, the majority ot whom,
however, indorsed it individually. "W.
A. Bechtel. president of the association,
presided at the dinner. Among those
in attendance were R. J. Blanco, Napa;
H. J. Kaiser, president of a Seattle
paving company; E. C. Spears. A. J.
Cleary, C. H. Gray, J. E. Johnston,
Stockton; E. J. Lindgren, Paul Fay and
William Hanrahan.

The International Western Electric
Co. announces an important change
in its foreign organization. E. C.
Richardson, who has been manager
of the Western Electric Compania
Italiana at Rome and Milan since
1910, and who also saw foreign trade
service at Antwerp, has been trans-
ferred to Peking, China, as general
manager of the China Electric Co., the
far eastern subsidiary of the American
electrical concern. He succeeds C. H.
Minor.

A final settlement of the differences
between the building crafts and con-
tractors has been effected in Sacra-
mento with the acceptance by the
workers of a cut in wages ot 7% per
cent on all craftsmen, to become
effective August 8.

Teams at a reduction ot $2 a day
and motor trucks at a reduction of $5
a day have been offered the San Fran-
cisco Board ot Public Works by the
Teamsters' Assn. In making the offer
the association explained that despite
the lower terms it will continue to pay
the union scale.

R. P. Angulo, tile manufacturer of
Santa Barbara, is contemplating the
erection of a plant in the vicinity of
Monterey where he has discovered
clays suitable for the manufacture of
"Mission Tile."

of

Master Plumbers' Association
Martinez has accepted a 7% per cent
wage reduction. For some time plumb-
ers in that section have been receiving
$10 a day.

W. G. Hamilton, representing the
Holmes-Eureka Lumber Co., redwood
manufacturers, has opened an office in
the Central Bldg., Los Angeles.

The California Car Co. has leased the
Santa Fe Foundry plant of the Enter-
prise Foundry Co. at Richmond, and
will operate in these quarters until
engineers complete plans for an im-
mense factory. The factory will be
constructed on the unit system.

The city of Venice, Calif., is to have
a planning commissioner instead of a
commission. H. F. Wlnebrenner, art

instructor in the Venice high school,
has been appointed to the post. He
will devote his entire summer vacation
to the duties and such time during the
school term as he can spare.

A reduction of one dollar a day in
the wages of all building mechanics in
Bakersfield will be placed in effect on
September 1st, according to an an-
nouncement by the Press Committee of
the Builders' Exchange of that city.
Secretary J. C. Harter of the Kern
County Building Trades Council, with
which members of the building crafts
are affiliated, said the unions could not
make any statement regarding the pro-
posed cut until they had received of-
ficial notice of the employers' action.

The appointment of T. E. Stanton as
chief assistant highway engineer was
announced yesterday by A. B. Fletcher,
director of the Department of Public
Works. Stanton has been connected
with the department for several years.

W. S. Caruthers, who has been with
the Sacramento County Highway Com-
mission for more than a year, has also
resumed his connection with the State
organization.

Paul E, Denivelle, Inc., 520 7th St.,
San Francisco, has been awarded a
contract by Archts. Doyle & Merriam
of Seattle to furnish artificial and
natural "Travertine" for the proposed
new home of the Seattle Natl. Bank in
that city. The contract price is in the
neighborhood of $35,000.

Edgar O. Edgerton ot San F'rancisco,
formerly chairman of the State Rail-
road Commission, has been named a
member of the transportation and com-
munication department of the Chamber
of Commerce ot the United States. This
department, which was organized a
short time ago, will make a study ot
highway problems, financial resources,
consolidation and efficiency ot rail-
roads and the problem of securing self-
supporting electric service. Air trans-
portation, marine transportation, ter-
minal ports and waterways will also
be considered. With J. Rowland Bib-
bins, a Chicago engineer at its head
the transportation department ot the
chamber was only recently organized.

Asserting he was compelled by a
flood to discontinue work on a dam he
was constructing for the Snow Moun-
tain Water & Power Co. in the Eel
River, W. A. Kraner, San Francisco
contractor, in a cross complaint, asks
judgment against the corporation for
$831,538.02. Kraner also asks for the
dissolution of an injunction secured by
the company on June 20 last, which
forbade him to remove any of his tools
from the dam site pending trial of the
suit brought by the company in which
it. is alleged Kraner abandoned the
construction work and in which the
power company demands the use of his
implements to continue the work.

No Remedy Seen for Housing Shortage*

Hoover Facts on Building

Held Wrong

Herbert Hoover's statement that
there Is $22,000,000,000 available for
home building in the mutual savings,
savings, national and State banks,
building associations, trust companies
and life insurance companies, is 100
per cent wrong, according to W. A.
Sadd, president of the savings bank
division of the American Bankers'
Assn.

Sadd. in taking exception to Secre-
tarj- Hoorer's remarks, said:

The institutions to which Hoover
refers have total resources which are
distributed approximately as follows
Mutual savings bank, $6,500,000,000
building associations, $2,500,000,000
savings national banks. estimated
$2,000,000,000; trust companies savings,
no data; State bank savings, no data;
life insurance companies. $7,000,000,000.
IVot Available

Perhaps the two items not now
available will make a total of gross
resources approximating Hoover's
estimate of $22,000,000,000, but he is
100 per cent wrong in advising that
this is to be regarded as the "total
sum of money available" for loans to
support "home bui'ding."

That amount is not available for
home building. Not over one-half of
it could possibly be tied up in real
estate security, and the amount now
loaned upon real estate security by
those institutions cannot be very
materially increased because of other
demands which confront each indi-
vidual institution.

Any persons who begins to tinker
with the financial structure must
ascertain first the use to which the
desired funds are now devoted (for, of
course, they are not idle); second, the
possible emergencies which may yet
strain the liquid resources of each
institution; third, the ability to divert
any bank's loans and investments into
different channels, and fourth, that

depositors and loan holders desire that
their funds shall be directed in par-
ticular lines of investment which may
change according to the ideas and
assumed needs of persons who accept
no corresponding responsibility for
resources.

HoukIbs Remedie*

To sum up the situation as to
housing finance, no proposed remedy is
adequate which is not based upon cer-
tain truths. First, housing will not
multiply until there is a market for
the finished product; second, this is
largely a question of price, of willing-
ness to tie up capital in houses rather
than in other things and cannot be
effected by any mere theory of a cer-
tain manufacturers' association that a
workman can afford to pay $8000 for
a cottage because the building will last
fifty or one hundred years; third,
money and credit are scarce and there
are neither billions nor millions avail-
able for investment in new construc-
tion now; fourth, construction activi-
ties cannot be sustained or even stimu-
lated by reference to house shortage as
is often attempted; fifth, until there
is a market which will absorb new
construction in competion with old.
building will not revive; sixth, this is
not the time to agitate forcing capital
into second mortgage investment
which confer the right to pay a first
mortgage in a large majority of cases.

The American Bankers' Assn. has
given close attention to mortgage
loans which bulk so large among
assets of financial institutions and the
other funds, endowments and estates
under their charge, but there is a vast
difference in loans, and all of these
funds are distinctly private in their
nature and cannot be invested under
compulsion of law and in the future
will be distributed according to eco-
nomic forces which are beyond the
reach of the legislators.

LIMBER PRICE,S ARE AT ROCK
BOTTOM

That wholesale lumber prices have
been fully deflated is the opinion of the
Board of Trustees of the National
Lumber Dealers' Assn. They have
issued a statement in response to a
request by the National Federation of
Construction Industries, which says in
part:

"In the lumber industry it has been
possible to reduce labor costs rapidly,
and in spite of the fact that produc-
tion costs are on a minimum basis, the
downward price trend has brought mill
prices on numerous items lower than In
1913. Prospective builders must not

overlook the fact that even though all
wholesale lumber prices at the mills
were at their pre-war levels, the exist-
ing higher freight rates would result
in a correspondingly higher selling
price at consuming centers.

"Any perceptible increase In the
demand for lumber will undoubtedly
promptly result in price advances, but
it is the opinion of our board of trus-
tees that so far as wholesale lumber
prices are concerned, deflation has com-
pletely run its course."

In Naples, cows and goats are led
through the streets and milked at the
doors of customers.

rates for 120 days, pending an investi-
gation as to their affairs.

Colorado failed to receive a bid for
the $2,000,000 State Highway bonds
authorized at a recent election and

to Henry Ford to purchase a portion
of the issue, declaring that better
roads means more automobiles and
that more than half the cars in Colo-
rado are Fords. An appeal has also
been made to John D. Rockefeller.

R. C. Stickle of South San Francisco

products manufactured and the quan-
tities and cost of the principal mate-
rials used during the year 1919.

Construction activities continue be-ij
low normal in many sections of thaij
country, but when it is considered thew
value of building operations is greatly jj
in excess of the average for the pe- 1
riod from 1914 to 1919, inclusive, one*
must admit that building operations /
represent a pretty healthy, volume of .^
l)usiness. .\t least it might be much i
worse. 3

Weed Lumber Co. announces that iti
will no longer employ women in itsl
sash and door factory, as it cannot af-

ELECTRIC.4I, INDUSTRY CENSUS
ISSUED

The 1920 census of the manufacture
of electrical machinery and apparatus
shows returns from 1404 establish-
ments, with products valued at J993,-
220.000. In addition, electrical mach-
inery and apparatus to a value of $21,-
093,000 were produced as subsidiary
products by 79 establishments in other
lines of manufacture, making a total
of n. 014, 373, 000.

In the census of 1914 there were 1030
establishments, with products valued
at $335,170,000 and 91 establishments
with subsidiary electrical machinery
and apparatus to the value ot $24,-
282.000. a total of $335,170,000.

LIMBER CUT IX 1930 LESS TH.4X IN
PREVIOUS YEAR

The 1920 lumber cut of the United
States various little from that of
1919. but incomplete returns indicate
that it was slightly less, state offlciels
of the forest service. United States de-
partments of agriculture.

This opinion is based on reports re-
ceived from 927 large mills, represent-
ing about one-half of the annual cut
of the country, compared with reports
from the same mills in 1919, as re-
ported to the bureau of the census.
The total reported cut of these mills
was 16,709,115 M feet In 1920, as against
18,254,812 M feet during 1919 — an In-
crease of 3.4 per cent.

A heavy increase In cut is reported
from Washington, Oregon. California,
Idaho and Montana. The New York
cut also Increased. But there are in-
dications of a 10 per cent decrease In
the cut of the lake state.>i. and also a '
eeneral falling off In the production of
southern pine, except In Georgia anfl
South Carolina.

Cartwright Act Case Dismissed;

Opinion of Judge McAtee

Upon charges of violating the Cart-
wright anti-trust act by a conspiracy
in restraint of trade against Charles
W. Gompertz, president, and 'William
H. George, secretary of the Builders'
Exchange, which were dismissed by
Police Judge Sylvester MqiAtee, the
following opinion was handed down:

I have placed what I have to say In
writing, not because it at all ap-
proaches to the dignity of an opinion
Ijut in order that the record may be
clear.

• First of all. certain misconceptions
may be cleared away. It is obviously
absurd to suppose that this court in
this action must pa.s3 upon the merits
ot the controversy that has been
waged between employers and labor
for nearly three months. Of course
I express no opinion whether the arbi-
tration board wa.s right or wrong,
whether labor was justified in reject-
ing the findings of the arbitration
board, whether the employers were
justified in the course that they took,
whether this is a strike or a lockout,
whether the American plan is right or
wrong. Equally, ot course, it is not
my province to consider or discuss
these questions.

This is a criminal proceeding where-
in certain men are charged with the
commission of a public offense. "With-
out regarding whether they stand upon
the side of capital or upon the side of
labor, they are entitled to a fair deter-
mination whether there is sufficient
cause to believe that a public offense
has been committed upon which they
should be held to answer to the Supe-
rior Court.

It will be unnecessary to review the
evidence in detail. It is rather to the
law that we must look. The defend-
ants are charged with a violation of
the Cartwright anti-trust law. That
law has been read so often during the
hearings that it will not be necessary
to set it forth here in full. It pro-
hibits combinations for certain pur-
poses. We are concerned. I take it.
from the admissions of the District
.\ttorney. with only the first three sub-
divisions of Section One. namely: "To
create or carry out restrictions in
trade or commerce; to limit or reduce
the production or increase the price
of merchandise or of any commodity;
to prevent competition in manufactur-
ing, making transportation, sale or
purchase of merchandise, produce or
any commodity."

In the very words of the law, the
combination must be for one of the
purposes prohibited by its specific
terms. Not every combination is pro-
hibited, as is recognized in the law it-
self and by the Supreme Court in the
Eastman Kodak, and the Ghirardelli
cases. We may readily conceive a
situation where there might be a com-
bination and an incidental effect of
restraint of trade and yet no violation
of the Cartwright -Vet. Lot us suppose
that all the iron works of San Fran-
cisco entered into combination — as in-
deed they did in Dyer Bros. vs. Central
Iron Works. 1S2 Cal. 58.S — and suppose
the purpose of their combination was
to resist certain demands of labor,
and that they agreed that they would
not resume their business of produc-
in? the various products that they
turn out until the men would return
to work upon stated conditions. In
that situation there might actually be
a restraint of trade. People who de-
sired to purchase the products of
the Iron works would not be able
to purchase. Thereby other industries

might ))e seriously hampered and im-
peded. The public would be subjected
to inconvenience. It would be ac-
tually an effective restraint of trade
for there would be no trade in those
lines, and it would be the result of a
combination. Yet. I am sure, it would
not lie Contended here that such a
f;om|jination was in violation of the
Cartwright Act. For unless their pur^

... r—-^--— .. —.J .....L a, t.%ji uiuueii OI

but had to do with a labor dispute.

In this case, before us the defend-
ants entered into a combination. What
was lis purpose? What were they
endeavoring to accomplish by it? Was
It that they were endeavoring to
create or carry out restrictions in
trade or commerce, or to limit or re-
duce the production or increase the
price of merchandise or of any com-
modity, or to prevent competition in
manufacturing, making. transporta-
tion sale or purchase of merchandise,
prodiice. or any commodity? There
i.s noLhingr anywhere in the evidence
to indicate any such purpose. It standi
fteqr throughout all the testimony
that their purpose was to accomplish
Certain results bearing upon a labor
dispBte. There is no doubt ot that in
the mind of anyone who knows any-
thing of the case. Indeed this court-
room has been crowded day after day
and is crowded this morning, preciselv
liecause this is one phase ot a labor
liuspute. It it were a question merely
of a combination in restraint of trade,
there would not have been a dozen
people in this courtroom at the va-
rious hearings.

Labor disputes are not within the
contemplation ot the Cartwright Act.
The act itself exempts labor from the
effect ot its provisions. That is so
clear that it needs no argument in its
."upport. But if there were any doubt,
under the Cartwright Act. we would
need only to turn to other laws and
the decisions of the Supreme Court of '
this state.

The Statute ot 1903. p. 289. has been
referred to. It reads:

■'No agreement, combination or con-
tract by and between two or more per-
.sons to do or procure to be done, or
not to do or procure not to be done,
any act in contemplation or further-
ance of any trade dispute between em-
ployers and employees in the State ot
California shall be deemed criminal,
nor shall those engaged therein be
deemed criminal, nor shall those en-
gaged therein be indictable or other-
wise punishable tor the crime ot con-
spiracy, if such act committed by one
lierson would not be punishable as a
crime, nor shall such an agreement,
combination, or contract, be^consldered
us restraint of trade or commerce, nor
.•ihall restraining order or injunction
be issued in relation thereto."

Words could not more clearly ex-
press the legislative intent upon the
situation with which we are here con-
cerned. It has been said here that the
Statute ot 1903 has been declared un-
constitutional. I do not think so. The
decision In Pierce vs. Stablemen's
fnion. declared no more than that It
would be unconstitutional it the con-
struction there contended for was con-
ceded. The construction contended for
in that case was that this law ex-
empted trade unions from the opern-
linn of the general laws and the court
held that under such construction It
would be special legislation granting
privileges and Immunities to certain

fetiiLbiNG AND ENGlNEERliSTG NEWS

citizens or classes of citizens which,
upon the same terms, were not granted
to all ritizens. The court was there
concerned with a particular construc-
tion of the law that was contended for,
and did nothing more, I think, than
hold that such a construction would
make the law unconstitutional.

If it is not unconstitutional, then
it solves thi.s case completely. For the
Statute of 1903 says that an act done
in combination in a labor dispute i.s
not a crime if such act committed by
one person would not be a crime. The
district Attorney in this case has ad-
mitted that any individual may re-
fuse to sell his merchandise to any
one whatsoever. If he may refuse to
do so individually, he may refuse to do
.so in combination with others if such
:ict is in contemplation or furtherance
of a trade dispute.

Thus wo nave a statute in point
upon the case before us. We have
.■iI.«o decisions of our Supreme Court
I bat will show the judicial attitude
toward such a situation as here con-
fronts us. It is needless to review the
(boisions in this state holding that
I he boycott and the secondary l"toy-
cott are legal in labor disputes. The
I;tw is too thoroughly established. We
noed refer only to the Parkinson case,
I lie Goblberg-Bowen case and Pierce
\ s. Stablyemen's Union alcove noted.
I'.riefly, the rule is that in a labor
(lisinito. laljor may not alone boycott
an individual, but may apply the
secondary boycott by threatening to
boycott a third person who has deal-
ings with the person originally under
I be ban. If that be true as regards
employees it must be true with regard
to the employer as well: otherwise we
would again run "foul of the constitu-
tional inhibition against granting priv-
ileges and immunities to certain citi-
zens or classes of citizens whicli upon
the same terms were not granted to
all citizens.

But we need be in no doubt about
the judicial attitude upon this point.
Mr. Justice Sloss in his concurrin.g
opinion in the Parkinson case, cited
with approval as indicating what acts
are not illegal, the case of Cote vs.
.Murphy, 1.59 Pa. St. Rep. 420.

I quote from the Pennsylvania case:
"The plaintiff, at the time, was do-
ing business in the City of Pittsburg,
as a dealer in building materials. He
was not a member of either the Plan-
ing Mill Association or of the Builders'
I'jXchange. There were also contract-
ors and builders who belonged to
neither of these organizations, who
conceded the demands of the workmen.
They sought to secure building mate-
rial from dealers wherever they could
and thus go on with their contracts.
If thej' succeeded in purchasing the
necessary materials, the result would
be that at least some of the striking
v.'orkmen would have employment at a
1'. igher rate of wages than the two as-
sociations were willing to pay. The
tendency of this was to strengthen
the cause of the strikers, for those em-
Tiloyed were able to contribute to the
.support of their fellow workmen who
were idle. The two associations al-
r.?ady named sought to enlist all con-
cerned, as contractor.? and builders or
as dealers in supplies, whether mem-
bers of the association or not, in the
J'urtherance of the one object, resist-
ance to the demands of the workmen.
The plaintiff and six other individuals
or firms engaged in the same business,
refused to join them and undertook to
continue sales of building material to
those builders who had conceded the
eigbt-hour day. The Planing Mill As-
sociation and the Builders' Exchange
tried to limit their ability to carry on
work at the advance by inducing lum-
ber dealers and others to refrain from
shipping or selling them, in quantities,
the lumber and other material neces-
sary to carry on the retail business.
In several instances their efforts were
successful and the plaintiff did not suc-
ceed in purchasing lumber from cer-
tain of the wholesale dealers in Cleve-
land and Dubois, where he wanted to
buy. The defendants were active mem-
bers of one or other or both of the as-
sociations engaged in the contest with
the striking workmen. The strike con-
tinued about two months."

"The plaintiff's case is not one which
appeals very strongly to a sense of
justice. The mechanics of Pittsburg
engaged in the different building

trades, on the first day of May, 1891.
demanded that eight hours should be
computed as a day in payment of their
wages. Their right to do this is clear.
It is one of the indefeasible rights of
a mechanic or a laborer in this com-
monwealth to fix such value on his
-lervices as he sees proper, and unde."
the Con.stitutiou there is no power
lodged anywhere to compel him to
« ork for less than he chooses to ac-
cept. But in this case the workmen
went further. They agreed that no
one of them would work for less than
t)ie demand and by all la%vful means,
such as reasoning and persuasion, they
would prevent other workmen from
working for less. Their right to do
this is also clear.

"The strike was conducted through-
out in a lawfu'. orderly manner. The
employers, contractors and others en-
gaged in building and furnishing sup-
plies— members of the two associations
already mentioned, to which these de-
fendants belonged — refused to concede
tlu demands of the workmen, and then
there followed a prolonged and bitter
(■ontcst. The members of the associa-
tions refused to furnish supplies to
those engaged iu the construction of
any building wliere the contractor had
conceded the eight hour day. This, as
individual dealers, thev had a clear
rjght to do. They could sell and de- *
liver their material to whom they
u!eased. But they also went further:
■They agreed among themselves that
no members of the association would
furnish supplies to those who were in
favor of or had conceded the eight
hour day, and that they would dis-
siiade other dealers, not members of
the a.ssociation, from furnishing build-
ing material to .'uch contractors or re-
tail dealers. To the extent of their
power this agreement was carried out.
This clearly was combination, and the
acts of assembly referred to do not,
iu terms, embrace employers. They
include, wthin their express terms,
workmen. Hence it is argued by
coiinsil for appellee that these defend-
ants are subject to all the common
'aw liability of conspirators, in their
attempt to resist the demands for in-
creased wages; that is, there can be
a combination among workment to ad-
\ance wages, but there can be no such
combination of employers to resist the
advance. That which by statute is
permitted to the one side, the common
law still denies to the other.

"If this position be well taken, we
then have this inequality: the plaintiff,
who is aiding combination, either di-
rectly or indirectly, intentionally or
unintentionally, to advance wages,
sues for damages members of another
combination who resist the advance.
Nor is there any difference in the
character of the act or means on both
sides in furtherance of their purposes.
The workmen will not work them-
selves, and they use persuasion and
reason with their fellows to keep them
from going to work, until the demand
is conceded. The employers will not
sell to contractors who concede the
demand and they do their best to per-
suade others engaged in the same
business from doing so.

"It is not our business to pass on
the soundness of the theories which
prompt the enactment of statutes.
Une thing, however, is clear: the
moment the legislature relieves one,
and by far the larger number of the
citizens of the commonwealth from the
common law prohibition against com-
binations to raise the price of labor,
and by a combination the price was
raised, down went the foundation on
which common law conspiracy was
based as to that particular subject."

The above. 1 think, clearly disposes
of this ease. The task of this court
is made easy in my opinion. From
the lengthy argument that was made
and the numerous authorities that
were cited at the beginning of these
bearings, I thought that the case would
turn upon a very fine legal point —
upon a hair line of law. Upon the hear-
ing of the evidence such proves to be
not the case. It seems to me that the
duty of this court is made very clear
l>y the evidence. I am not at all sur-
prised that the Grand Jury has not in-
dicted these defendants upon this
charge.

The suggestion has been made by
the District Attorney that it is not
the duty of this court to pass upon

the guilt or innocence of the defend-
ants, but only upon the question of
reasonable cause to hold. That is true.
But I conceive it to be the duty of
this court to he convinced that there
is reasonable cause for a holding and
in my opinion there is not such rea-
sonable cause, then I submit that these
defendants are entitled as a matter of
right to a dismissal. Any suggestion
that the final determination must in the
event of a holding, be made before an-
other tribunal, is merely an argument
for passing along the responsibility. It
would be an easy way out, and I am
frank to admit I think it a politically
expedient way. Indeed the intimation
of political expediency in disposing of
this case has been made. Unfortunate-
ly, however, matters canot properly be
decided in a court of justice by nicely
balancing political expediency. I am
aware of the forces that are arrayed
ill this controversy and of the probable
consequences that may result from my
action I must accept those conse-
(luences. Certainly I would not per-
mit political expediency to weigh
Xeither can I against these defendants.
Xeither can I against these defendants.
I find that there is not sufficient
or reasonable cause to believe that a
public offense has been committed. The
defendants are therefore dismissed. —
The Recorder.

In answer to the many protests
against high rents being made by those
in Mexico City who are not owners of
dwellings, writes Assistant Trade Com-
missioner R. M. Connell, the Excelsior
states that there is a shortage of
dwellings for more than 100,000 persons
in the capital. It is estimated by this
periodical that since the year 1914 the
population of Mexico City has increased
by more than 200,000, while during this
period of seven years but 2.000 houses
have been erected.

New Railway Projeel

On June 7, reports Assistant Trade
Commissioner R. M. Connell. the Fed-
eral Government authorized the con-
struction of a railroad from Mazatlan.
Sinaloa, to Llano Grande, Durango. to
be administered by the Government.
The explanation of this decree, as
state ofHcially. is the need of extending
to the North Pacific coast the lines in
I be interior and uniting the central and
southern sections of the Republic with
the northeastern States, thus allowing
free and convenient outflow for the
products of those regions and in turn
permitting the easy entry of merchan-
dise from North America and the
Orient. It is expected that this vast
area, at present practically unexploited
for lack of communications, will be led
to undergo a period of notable develop-
ment upon completion of the project.

The composite price of brick was
JH.49 per thousand July 1. as compared
with $15.H June 1. ia21. These figures
are griven in the monthly digest of the
Common Brick Manufacturers' Asso-
ciation of America. It is stated there
is nothing in the reports from manu-
facturers to indicate lower costs of
manufacture and the lower composite
price is attributed to over-competition
in some centers.

Harry W. Isaacs of Oakland heard the

cost $40,000.

At least $120,000 more than the esti-
mates previously submitted by the fil-
tration engineers will be required to
complete the Sacramento city filtration
plant, according to officials. The engi-
neers estimated last spring a bond issue
of $720,000 would be needed to com-

belonged to him. Polk declares he was
employed by the First National Bank to
draw plans for a bank building to be
erected at Montgomery and Market Sts.
In January of 1K20, Polk says, the
originally proposed building not having
been built, the bank borrowed from
him, for the "purpose of inspection" the
drawings he prepared ten years ago.
He charges that the bank then built a
smaller bank building. basing the
building plans on his ideas. He con-

may not rightfully be used by others

Melting snow in mid-summer to pro-
vide water for cement is the means
adopted by the landscape engineering
department of the National Park ser-
vice in the construction of a new look-
out station and slielter at the top of
Mount Washburn. Situated more than
10.000 feet above the sea-level, this
structure presented a building problem
that promised to stump engineers. They
hit upon the method of using artificial
means of melting snow, but recently
the summer weather has melted it so
rapidly that the work has had to be
rushed to be completed before the
water supply runs out.

Irving Kahn, Vice-President of
Kahns Department Store in Oakland,
says a building campaign would aid in
the city's growth. "We used to say
that what Oakland needed was a few
funerals. We've had the funerals and

What we have to do is to begin with
the individual and start a building

I'he success that has been attained
;o date in the building trades fight has
)een made possilile only through the
splendid co-operation that has been
jracticed between owners, architects.
;ontractors and building material
Irms and manufacturers.

It is, therefore, necessary at this
ime for every owner, architect and
contractor to look about him and dis-
cover who have been friends of the
cause and who its enemies. Com-
nunity interest requires that those
vho are deserving shall be favored as
igainst those who have followed a
larrow policy of selfish personal in-
erest.

Jt is the plain duty of every owner,
irchitect and contractor to give his
tiost loyal support and patronage to
hose building material firms and man-
Jfacturers that have shown and are
low showing consistent loyalty. It is
Ikewise the plain duty of every owner
ind architect to note carefully the
names of those contractors who are
showing their loyalty and to see to It
hat those contractors who do their
)art are given preference in handling
'uture building construction work in
4an Francisco.

•Increase.

The peojile of .San Francisco, and in
particular the building trades work-
men of this city, are entitled to first
hand knowledge of the terms under
which the men of the Building Trades
are welcome back to work.

We have learned there has been so
much misinformation given to the
workmen, and it has been done with
such apparent motive to keep the men
in ignorance of the true situation, that
we publish herewith in full the princi-
ples on which the liuilding trades con-
troversy has been fought.

We feel public opinion almost unani-
mously will approve the terms:

1. The right of any person to
seek, secure and retain work for
which he is fitted, and the right of
the employer to engage or dismiss
employes should not be abridged
or denied because of membership
or lack of membership in any or-
ganization or association of any
kind.

2. A horizontal wage reduction
of 7^4 per cent. N'o further wage
changes prior to November 12,
1921.

3. An eight-hour day and a five
and one-half day week, overtime
to he paid for at the rale of time
and a half, except Sundays and
holidays, when double time is to be
paid.

4. No discrimination against or
interference with any employe be-
cause of his union or non-union
standing.

5. Klimination of those rules
which hitherto have tended to re-
duce output and increase costs: a
man is expected to deliver a nor-
mal day's work and to use such
modern machinery or tools as will
best and most economically do the
work, provided the same are not
unsanitary or dangerous to health.

6. No discrimination against ma-
terials for any reason, whether on
account of source, means of trans-
portation or handling.

7. No person is permitted, with-
out the consent of the employer,
to go upon a building during work-
ing hours for the purpose of hold-
ing conferences or convers.ition
with the workmen.

S. .\ Board to be created not later
than September 30, 1921, to inves-
tigate building conditions and to
announce a wage scale effective
November 12. 1921. In no sense is
this Board to be an Arbitration
Court, but it will act only after
public hearings and investigation
in which all parties will have op-
portunity to present their views
and claims. It is realized that this
Board cannot function successfully
without the support of Public
Opinion and that it cannot hope to
win such support unless its per-
sonnel is of unquestioned integ-
rity and its proceedings open and
fair.

Twelve types of surfacing are found
in the 2,853 miles of Lincoln Highway
improved in the past seven years at
a cost of a little more than $31,000,000.
As the total mileage over this route
lietween New York and San Francisco
is 3.305, there are still 452 miles to
be completed, and the Lincoln Highway
Association estimates that about $10.-
000,000 will be expended this year on
the whole project.

BUILDING AND ENGINEERING NEWS

Development of the Asphalt Industry in the United States

By PHEVOST HUBBARD, Clic-mlcal Kngrinetr. The Asphalt Association.

I'rinr to 1902 the term asphalt was
confined almost exclusively to Ofrtain
semi-solid or solid bitumens which
were found in natural deposits most ot
which occurred in admixture with clay,
silt or vegetation which could not be
removed by ordinary refining methods.
When the mineral matter predominated
the product was termed asphalt ic sand
or rock asphalt. depending upon
whether or not the mineral structure
was loosely or firmly knit together. No
appreciable tonnage of asphalt was
u.sed in this country until 18S3, when
about 35.000 tons were imported mainly
from Trinidad and found its way into
the paving industry. Prior to this,
relatively small quantities of Trinidad
asphalt and certain European rock as-
phalts or bituminous limestones had
l)een used in the construction of pave-
ments in a few American cities. As
most of the European rock asphalt.-i
contain less than 15 per cent of asphalt
proper, while the refined Trinidad as-
phalt uniformly carries about 56.5 per
cent of bitumen they were eventually
unable to successfully compete with
the latter, and until 1892 Trinidad as-
phalt was used to such greater extent
that, in most minds, the term asphalt
came to mean Trinidad asphalt.

In 1892 a relatively pure asphalt de-
posit occurring in Venezuela and
known as Bermudez Lake asphalt was
exploited in small quantities and this
product began to find its way into the
l.'nited States, where it was also used
In pavement construction. From this
time on Trinidad asphalt was obliged
to share honors with Bermudez as-
phalt, the importation of which grad-
ually increased until at the present
time it is nearly equal in tonnage to
the Trinidad asphalt. Other foreign
asphalts occurring in Venezuela. Cuba
and elsewhere have appeared tempo-
rarily on the American market, but
never in any great qu.intity. Large de-
posits of asphaltic sands and rock a.-i-
phalt have been found in this coun-
try, but their development has been
limited, as many are unsuited for pres-
ent industrial purposes. Comparatively
small deposits of very hard and nearly
pure asphalt commonly known as Cil-
sonite. Uintaite, Grahamite and Wurt-
zllite have also been discovered in va-
rious part of the ITnited .States and
have been found particularly well suit-
ed for the manufacture of asphalt spe-
cialties. Their combined available ton-
nage has, however, been so small thai
their use in the two main asphalt in-
duatries. paving and roofing, has been
very limited.

Practically ail native asphalt is too
hard for direct use in the manufacture
of asphalt products and after a simple
refining process, which consists in
heating the crude material until water,
gas and other volatile material is
driven oft. It must be softened to suit-
able consistency by combining it with
the proper amount of residual petrole-
um known as fiux oil. Petroleum.
therefore, always served as an impor-
tant integral part of all asphalt used
for industrial purposes. For many
years it was believed, and it Is now
generally admitte<l that, all a:-.i)hali
orlBinates in petroleum.

The petroleum, first known and used
In the I'nited Slates, orcurrlng in
Pennsylvania, Oliio iiiid Iniliari:i. was

•Asphalts and li. laieO Bitumens In
liilSt by 1!. W. Cottrell.

of the parafiin type. When distilled to
remove the more volatile constituents,
this petroleum was found to yield a
thick, greasy oil residue which in no
way resembled asi)halt except in color,
but which proved quite satistactoy tor
use as a flux. If distillation was car-
ried further, this residual oil under-
went certain chemical changes due to
cracking of the hydrocarbon constit-
uents and eventually coke remained in
the still.

As early as 1865 it was known that
biiuminous material was susceptible to
the action of certain oxidizing agents
which caused the product to become
more viscous, and in 1894 Francis X.
Byerly was granted a patent for blow-
ing air throu.gh petroleum residue
when heated to between 400 and 600
degrees F. I'.y this process it was
found possible to produce a semi-solid
residue which in some ways resembled
the native asphalts but which, with
the type of oil used was more or less
cheesy in character and lacked the ce-
mentitiousness of the then known as-
phalts. This product was marketed as
Byerlyte asphalt, but never found
much favor in the paving industry be-
cause of the inferior results attending
its use. It was found, however, that
when so treated, residual oils from pe-
troleum occurring in the Gulf section
yielded a better grade of product than
the more highly paraffin type of petro-
leum.

With the discovery and refining of
California petroleum it was observed
that when the resklual oil was further
distilled and before coke was formed, a
semi-solid residue was produced which
very closely resembled the native as-
phalst The original petroleum was.
therefore, called asphaltic petroleum.
The asphalt first manufactured from
this type of petroleum proved to be of
rather inferior (luality. the cause of
which was later shown to be due to the
high temperatures required to drive off
a sufficient amount of oil constituents
to produce a semi-solid residue. At
such temperatures the hydrocarbons
began to crack up with the formation
of undesirable decomposition products.
Later it was found that if distillation
was conducted with a copious amount
of steam used to agitate the contents
of the still, cracking could lie largely
prevented as the volatile products were
removed at a much lower temperature.
This discovery not only assured a large
future supply of high grade asphalt
from domestic sources, but conclusively
proved that asphalt originates in cer-
tain petroleums: that it is actually held
in solution in such petroleums; and
that when recovered l)y suitable means
it is essentially the same as certain na-
tive asphalts.

By 1902. petroleum asphalt was on
the American market in appreciable
quantities, about 20.000 tons being
manufactured during that year. It
fi.iind its way into the paving Industry.
where it was received on trial for a
nunilier of years until service over a
considerabli- period of time demon-
strated that it was e(|ual!y as B<iod for
Iiaving work as the lake asphalts. By
1911 Ihe lonnaKc of asphalt produced
from domestii- p.iroleum ex. ceded Ihe
importation of Trinidad and P.ermudez
asphalt, and from thai lime on the
production from this .sourou has grown
rapidly.

In 1913 large iiuanlities of Mexican
petroleum found its way Into the Unit-

ed States. This petroleum is highly
asphaltic in character and when sub-
jected to steam distillation yields a
much higher percentage of asphalt
than any petroleum found in the Unit-
ed .States. About 100,000 tons of as-
phalt were produced in 1913 from
this source, as compared with about
230.000 tons of imported native asphalt
and over 400.000 tons of asphalt pro-
duced from domestic petroleum. This
year showed the peak of importation
of native asphalt which was at that
time etiual to only a little more than
two-fifths of the total production from
petroleum. From that time on there
has been a general decline in importa-
tion of lake asphalt with a very rapid
increase in asphalt distilled from pe-
troleum.

The growth in asphalt tonnage from
Jlexican petroleum has been even more
remarkable than from domestic petro-
leum, and since 1918 has exceeded the
latter. Statistics of the U. S. Geological
Survey for 1918*, which are the latest
ones available, show the following.

.VOTE: — This does not include
manufactures of asphalt which
are valued at approximately one-
half Ihe value of the tonnage of
asphalt exported.

From this table it is .seen that nearly
!<7 per cent of all asphalt produced by
or imported into this country is ol)-
tained from Ihe distillation of petro-
leum. If the mineral and other ex-
traneous matter in rock asphalt and
Trinidad and Bermudez asphalt is
eliminated a conservative estimate
would raise the proportion of petro-
leum asphalt to over 92 per cent of
the total, leaving about 1.4 per cen;
Trinidad bitumen and 3.2 per cent Ber-
mudez. The fact that Ihe bitumen of
lake asphalt now constitutes less than
5 per cent of the total asphalt con-
sumed by th.- United States may be
surprising to the many who have here-
tofore considered the lake asphalts as
Ihe most important.

The generally accepted definition of
asphalt describing its consistency or
hardness is that II is a seml-.solld or
snli<l. Tlie principal test for consist-
ency is known as the penetration lesl
and is ordinarily made by determining
Iho dl.v'ance that a standard needle
will iHiieirale n sami>le of asphalt
wiien it Is maintained al 2."i° C. tho
ne< die beillK loaded Willi a given
Weight and the load beini; applieil fni
a given length of lime. Th« depth

6

which the needle penetrates is _ex-
pressed in units of 0.1 mm. each. Un-
less otherwise indicated, the load is
considered to be 100 grams and the
time of application 5 seconds. There
is no distinct line of demarcation be-
tween a fluid and a semi-solid, but the
American Society tor Testing- Mate-
rials has adopted the following arbi-
trary definition which may serve as a
rough division between asphalts and
fluid residual petroleum products.
"Liquid Bituminous Materials: — Those
having a penetration at 25° C. (77° F.)
under a load of 50 grams applied for
1 second of more than 350.'' Mate-
rials which under this test show a
penetration of less than 350 but more
than 10 when tested at the same tem-
perature with a load of 100 grams for
5 seconds are classed as semi-solids.
If the material shows a penetration
of less than 10 when tested as last de-
scribed it is called a solid. Road oils
and some fluxes may be classed as
liquids under these definitions and
therefore not asphalts. The heav-
ier and more viscous fluxes, how-
ever, would be classed as asphalts.
The Geological Survey in its 1919 re-
port has made no distinction between
asphaltic materials with reference to
use or consistency so that the figures
previously quoted include some ton-
nage of what may be classed as liquid
asphaltic products. In fact, such prod-
ucts are sometimes marketed under the
name of liquid asphalt owing to the
very high percentage of asphalt which
is held in solution by the oily constit-
uents which are present.

The highly asphaltic crude petro-
leums sometimes carry such a large
proportion of asphalt that this prod-
uct becomes of primary importance in
refining. This is particularly true of
Mexican petroleum from the heavier
grades, of which over 70 per cent of
asphalt of 100 penetration may be ob-
tained by steam distillation. Heavy
California asphalt may. by the same
process, yield as high as 50 per cent
of asphalt of the same penetration.
From other domestic petroleums it is
impracticable to commercially recover
asphalt unless the blowing process >s
employed or the fluid residual petro-
leum "is first subjected to a carefully
controlled cracking process under
pressure. In some cases, however, the
other domestic crudes are utilized in
the manufacture of asphalt by mixing
them with Mexican crude before distil-
lation.

In spite of the large tonnage of as-
phalt produced from domestic petro-
leum, its manufacture from this source
constitutes only a very small part of
the petroleum industry. The specific
gravity of domestic petroleum asphalt
averages about 1.01 or 8.4 pounds per
gallon. On this basis the volume of
domestic petroleum asphalt for 1919
amounts to about 146,000.000 gallons
as against approximately 15,864,000,000
gallons of crude oil, or less than 1 per
cent by volume of crude. Mexican oil
asphalt averaging 1.04 specific gravity
shows about 155,000.000 gallons for
1919 as against approximately 2,218,-
000, OOn gallons of Mexican crude oil,
or about 7 per cent. When it is con-
sidered that practically all Mexican
petroleum is highly asphaltic in char-
acter, these figures show the possibil-
ity of increase in asphalt production
from this source to be very great as
the demand increases. At the present
time an enormous quantity of asphalt
present in crude petroleum and many
times greater than the amount actually
produced is not being recovered, but is
burned as fuel oil.

Asphalt is the oldest waterproof ad-
hesive known to man and since its
production from petroleum has made it

readily available in large quantities it
has been adapted for a surprising
number of industrial purposes. Of
these the paving industry consumes
ble consumption of asphalt of 190 pen-
ble consumption of asphalt of 100 pen-
etration and less in pavement con-
.struction and maintenance during 1921
has been estimated by ,1. E. Penny-
backer, secretary of the Asphalt Asso-
ciation, to be about 634,000 tons. To
this may be added about 35.000 tons of
flux necessary to soften the harder
grades to suitable consistency, giving
a grand total of 669.000 tons. Allovif-
ing 10 per cent for maintenance, this
amount will be sufficient to construct
about 60,000,000 square yards of as-
phalt pavement, or, on the basis of a
20-foot width, over 5,000 miles of such
pavement.

In the consumption of asphalt, the
roofing industry is a close second to
the paving industry and together they
consume probalily 90 per cent of the
entire asphalt output if road oils are
not included. The development of the
aspbalt roofing industry to sizeable
proportions has been more recent than
the paving industry, but was given a
great impetus during the late war pe-
riod owing to the enormous demand
for ready and prepared roofings. Her-
bert Abraham, chairman of the Tech-
nical Committee of the Prepared Roof-
ing Association, estimates the present
annual consumption of asphalt, includ-
ing flux, by the roofing industry to be
about 625.000 tons, equivalent to 28,-
375,000 squares of roofing. Figuring an
average of about 10 squares to a dwell-
ing, this amount is sufficient to cover
more than 2,500,000 dwellings, or over
280,000,000 square yards of roof.

In addition to paving and roofing,
there are a large number of industries
wh'ich in the aggregate consume about
114,000 tons of asphalt. A considerable
amount of this is used for waterproof-
ing and flooring and lesser amounts
for sheathing and insulating purposes.
Asphalt also finds its way into the
manufacture of considerable quanti-
ties of rubber goods, paints, varnishes,
enamels and japans, and such special-
ties as anti-acid compounds, pipe dips,
bituminous putty or cement, emulsions,
moulding compositions, electrical in-
sulating products, sealing compounds
for storage batteries, wall boards and
floor coverings.

In most finished products asphalt i.«
used primarily as a binder or coating
for body of the structure and consti-
tutes l)Ut a fraction of the total weight
of such products. Its use is therefore
dependent upon Ihe consumption of
large quantities of other materials,
the production of which represent in-
dustries dependent to a considerable
extent upon the asphalt industry. Thus
in pavement construction, considering
only that portion of the pavement
which is bound together with asphalt,
an average of about 8 per cent of as-
phalt is used to bind 92 per cent of
mineral aggregate. This represents
an annual consumption of over 8,000,-
000 tons of liroken stone, gravel and
sand in pavement construction, includ-
ing nearly 400,000 tons of pulverized
limestone or Portland cement filler.
The manufacture of asphalt roofings
probably consumes in the neighiior-
hood of 200,000 tons of felt and sim-
ilar faiirics and 300,000 tons of min-
eral surfacing, such as talc, mica, sil-
ica, sand and crushed rock.

Without considering the various ma-
terials used in asphalt specialties a
rough approximation of material an-
nually consumed in the manufacture
of asphalt producls, incluiling pave-
ments, would lie as follows;

Tons.

Jnitnnese Cement Production i

This year's output of cement inj
Japan is estimated at 11,000,000 casksj
against 7.850,000 casks last year. The?
domestic demand from January up toi
April showed little change as com-l
pared with the corresponding period^i
of last year, but exports to foreign:"
countries declined almost by half. Ac-:.;
cordingly, the tendency is becoming',
all the more pronounced for stocks to*
increase. A conference of the produc-^
ers was held in May to discuss com-!]
bines, the fixing of prices, and thai
restriction of output. *

estimate of whole trade volume for,
the year at not more than 3,000,000,00(6

and imports, or an estimated decrease
of 40 per cent compared with last'
year's total trade of 4.284,000,000 yen:
($2,135,574,000). This decrease is du«d
to the universal business depression^

that the total imports for three month^

FIIED C. SCOBIE CHOSEN FOB
STATE WATER SURVEY

The proposed survey of the water
esources of California, which is to
iclude a comprehensive study of irri-
ation proljicms. hydro-electric power
BT»lopment and kindred subjects,
as been placed in charge of Fred
. Scobie. hydraulic engineer from the
ureau of Good Uoads of the United
tates Department of Agriculture by
7. P. McClure, head of the Division of
•rigation of the newly created State
epartment of Public Works.

Under McClure. Scobie will be In
ill charge of the work, for which an
pproprlation of $200,000 was made
t the last session of the Legislature.
Will Collect Data

The survey is one of the most com-
rehonsive of its kind ever proposed
1 the West, and while it will prob-
l>Iy bo several months before survey.s

I the field are begun. McClure stated
a time will be lost in organizing the
ecessary force to undertake the work,
ne of the first steps, he said, would
>nsist of the collection of existing
jgineering data from various agencies
f the State Federal Governments and
ISO from the officers of many private
-~ •■ r?<, who, McClure said, are

~ an inclination to assist and
■irate with the State in various

It was pointed out by McClure that
f getting existing data together at
le outset, much duplication of effort
id expense can be saved. These data,
was explained, consist largely of
Hce records, ilembers of the survey
rganization yet to be selected will
s sent from place to place to obtain

II available Information, and with
lis as a basis the study then will be
ttended to the field and the organi-
ition built up as the work requires.

Basis of Lee1.«Iatlon
Much of the future legislation of
le State as regards water resources
ad policies of conservation will be
laed upon the department's report,
hich is to be ready for the 1923
sssion of the Legislature.
McClure said he had asked the Gov-

irnmeiit (<■ "loan ' Scobio to the de-
partment while the survey is in prog-
ress, not alone because of his high
standing as a hydraulic engineer, but
also because of his knowledge of
many of the problems to be covered
in the survey.

Information on Electric RefrlgrcTatara
and Gas Heaters Desired

The State Electricity Commission of
Victoria, Australia, is interested In

the various applications of electricity
to domestic uses and, it is understood,
is desirious of getting in touch with
American agents who cater for such
appliances as electrically operated re-
frigerators and gas heaters, and to ob-
tain full descriptions and price lists.
Lon Prices for German Machines and
Tools In Japan

The Germans are now bidding on
contracts for machines, tools, etc.. In
.Japan, at prices from 30 to 50 per cent
cheaper than American quotations. The
consumer, however, must agree to pay
whatever export tax is levied by the
Allies. However, assuming such tax
to be as high as 25 per cent, prices of
German materials in Japan will be
less than for similar articles of Amer-
ican manufacture. To hold the market
in Japan or extend it, price reductions
by .\meriran concerns will be neces-
sary.

Rrprescntation of American Houses In
Foreign Countries

It has come to the attention of the
Bureau that in some instances when
.\merican houses communicate with an
American consular officer with refer-
ence to securing a representative in
that consular district, investigation re-
veals that a representative Is already
operating in that field. In view of the
misunderstanding which may arise
from such action, it is deemed desira-
ble that due caution be exercised in
avoiding the possible soliciting of
agents in such districts as may already
be covered by duly authorized repre-
sentatives.

WHY A POWER PROGRAM
IN CALIFORNIA?

Ey H. G. Butler, Former Power
Administrator for California

The 6,000,000 horsepower of potential
electrical energy in California's
streams — only one-sixth of which Is
now in use — if it were completely de-
veloped and could be laid down In the
New England States. would bring
every year, at existing rates, the
enormous sum of $1,000,000,000. De-
veloped and used in California it would
cost the consumers but halt that
amount.

It the present rate of growth in the
power industry continues — and there
is not the slightest reason to think
that it will not continue — the year 1941
will see the California powrer streams
completely harnessed. It will see also
a greater difference between power
rates, east and west. Comparing New
England's rate with California's, the
ratio is now about two to one. But the
future power of California, and all
the west, will be hydro-electric, and in
New England and the east steam-elec-
tric— steam generated from fuels con-
stantly increasing in cost.

So in twenty years the difference be-
tween the two rates cannot fail to be
even more to California's advantage
than it is now. But with no change,
the California producer will have an
edge on his eastern competitor of
$500,000,000 per annum in power costs
— a sum that would "Bridge the Bay"
twelve and one-half times yearly.

He has a proportionate advantage
today. The average rate at which the
product of the power companies of the
state is sold is somewhere around two
cents per kilowatt-hour, a figure that
of course is lower than the average
lighting rate, which varies; in San
Francisco, tor instance, it is from 8
cents as a maximum, to 1.5 cents as a
minimum. But the average rate,
which is governed more by the price
paid for commercial than for lighting
power, is the important factor. At two
cents per kilowatt-hour the power
companies of California can with con-
fidence invite comparison with rates
tor similar service anywhere.

The remarkable growth of the west
during the last twenty years has been
largely due to just this fact. In that
time the population ot the United
States as a whole increased 110%: in
the west it Increased 403%. The as-
sessed value of all property grew in
the United States 451<%: In the west
1341%. The annual value of manu-
factured products Jumped 1070% in the
United States and 2096%, in the west.
During the last ten years, the in-
crease in bank clearings in the United
States was 427% and in the west 1218%.

It is not necessary to go far back in
the history of the State to reach a time
when it was a bold and adventurous
thing for a power company to spend a
few hundred thousand dollars In a
power plant 200 miles away In the
mountains, with its dams and canals,
and Its tower lines carrying a thin
copper thread to bring the product to
market. Such an Investment was fol-
lowed by a period of feverish activity
In securing consumers to utilize the

output. Tliere were factories here, and
mines, and irrigation pumps, but fhey
were using other forms of energy.
Salesmanship was necessary to bring
about the substitution of electric
power.

Today electricity has no competitor
in these fields. If it cannot be secured
the projected factory and the proposed
pumping plant are not constructed. In
the process of building up and de-
veloping the community, the sequence
is. first the power, then more factories,
more farms and more intensive culti-
vation, more mines opened up. From
these come more transportation, more
people — all demanding more power —
and a strong and healthy growth.

In marked contrast to the situation
a few years back, the power companies
of the State today estimate that it will
be necessary for them to raise and
spend $500,000,000 in the next ten years
for new plants and the appurtenances
required to bring this power to the
consumer. They no longer have to de-
vote time to the missionary work of
making converts to the electric power.
Fifteen million dollars can be spent
by the Pacific Gas & Electric Company
on the Pit River, by the Great Western
Power Company on the Feather, by the
San Joaquin Light & Power Corpora-
tion on the San Joaquin, or by the
Southern California Edison Company
on the Big Creek project without
definite arrangements for the sale ot
the energy. The market will be ready
when the power is. Indeed, during the
last three years the demand has al-
ways been greater than the supply,
and the problem of the future is not in
selling power, but in getting money
enough to develop it.

In its energy-producing natural re-
sources California has been doubly
endowed by Nature — it has both water-
power and oil. But its oil cannot be
depended upon to carry out any pro-
gram of general state development. In .
a recent address, a prominent oil man
ot the Coast said:

"We cannot continue to burn more
oil than we produce, and we cannot
continue indefinitely to count on
even our present production. There
can be only one answer to the situ-
ation— some one who is burning oil
today will have to use another
source of energy tomorrow."
He might have added, "the only
source Is hydro-electrlclty."

The oil companies are not required
to keep California supplied with oil.
The power companies, being public
utilities, and as such having distinct
obligations to the public, are com-
mitted to the definite undertaking of
seeing that California's hydro-electric
development is sufflclent, not only to
carry the increasing load In its own
field, but to take up their burdens
when the oil companies lay them down.
This is the power program and. to
quote from the address again, nothing
can be more certain than this:

"We must realize that the success
of this program is vital to our pros-
perity, and that success can come
only through the substantial encour-
agement of community support."

conditions are such that there can be
no recession to the prices back in
1914 to which the economists delight

ATELIER

The Atelier furnishes a course in
Architectural Design for draughtsmen
in ofllces. and for students of architec-
ture in general. The program of the
Beaux Arts Institute of Design of New
York is used, which consists of a se-
ries of competitions modeled on the
system of the Ecole des Beaux Arts in
Paris, and linked with American archi-
tecture. This enables the student to
work in art that is regarded as the
solution of certain fundamental prob-
lems, and consequently there is both
interest and instruction in each compe-
tition.

There is no preliminary knowledge
necessary, except a general knowledge
of the five Orders of Architecture.

An annual registration fee of two
dollars is the only fee required to en-
ter competitions.

Circulars of information can be ob-
tained from the Massier of the Atelier,
F. Amandes.

The Atelier classes will be under the
direction of Ecole des Beau Arts

Ideal Section of Lincoln Highway—

A Definition of Its Purpose

(By W. G. Thompson, Consulting High-
way Engineer for the Lincoln High-
way -Association).

'I'hose wlio may be inclined to criti-
cize the scope and cost of the Lincoln
Highwa.v Association's "Ideal Section"
of liighway as being impractical and
>-xtravagant should first be sure that
they are fully informed as to the
nature of the project and the ideas ot
the men who are attempting a realiza-
tion of the highway ideal.

What is an Ideal, and why is an
Ideal'.' Answer to the first question
may be briefly quoted Vtom the diction-
ary as being "a mental conception of a
standard of perfection." Answer to the
second is not found in the dictionary,
but rather finds its expression in the
constant and conscious striving of man-
kind toward a higher standard of ex-
cellence in every phase of human
activity.

In terms of highways the ideal may
be expressed as a road which is safe,
smooth and convenient to travel at all
seasons of the year. It is designed and
constructed with a view to future in-
crease in traffic volume and is
economically maintained.

Opinions differing with this expres-
sion can be in degree only, not in
general principle.

The Association believed that in ad-
dition to its utilitarian features the
Ideal Section and its immediate sur-
roundings should appeal to the
aesthetic sense of the motorist. It
therefore proposed that all pole lines
and unsightly features be removed
from the line of the highway, and that
the natural beauty of the riglit-of-way

be enlianced; that this idea met with
favor is evidenced by the country-wide
approval expressed in letters to the As-
sociation since the general plans be-
<'anie known.

The Association realized its inability
lo design a highway which might be
considered as approaching the ideal. It
therefore called together a technical
committee of well-known highway en-
gineers, representing "many different
sections ot the country, to determine
the essential features ot such a sec-
tion. All these men occupy high
public positions, and gave this service
without compensation.

In addition to their own ideas, gained
from long experience and observation.
they took advantage of a summary of
hundreds of questionnaires, formulated
and sent to highway builders and users
in every section of the country.

It shoud be recorded that neither the
.Association nor its Technical Com-
mittee presume to say that the "Ideal
Section" represents the ultimate in
highways. However, the Association
believed an attempt should be made to
crystallize the ideas of the foremost
highway authorities of the country into
a tangible e.xpression ot the ideal,
which, however imperfect, might serve
as an inspiration and guide to the
many who will see it as they travel the
transcontinental route.

It is not intended that any single
feature ot the project shall be taken as
the final word, but rather that the
general ensemble shall convey helpful,
constructive ideas to those responsible
for highway development policies. If
even in small measure it shall serve
this purpose, those responsible for its
development will feel well repaid.

without profit. All funds received for
tuition are used to obtain competent
instructors and to defray the expenses
of the classes.

PROGRESS OF S.4XD-LIME BRICK
INDUSTRY IX 1920

The sand lime brick industry made
progress in 1920, according to a repor^
soon to be issued by the United States
Geological Survey, Department of the
Interior, prepared by Jefferson Mid-
dleton.

This industry like other building-
material industries, was handicapped
by shortage and inefficiency of labor,
transportation difficulties, and the high
cost of building. With the resumption
of building operations the use of this
product should increase rapidly, as it
seems to be firmly established in pub-
lic favor in many localities. Trade in
1920 was generally reported good dur-
ing the first nine months of the year
but very dull after that, due in part no
doubt to business and in part to sea-
sonal conditions.

The output in 1920 was 169.761.000
brick, as compared with 146.947,000
in 1919, an increase of 16 per cent.
The value of this output in 1920 was
J2,490,2S3, compared with tl, 705,163
in 1919, an increase of 46 per cent.
The output in 1920 was 73 per cent
greater than that of 1918, but 9 per
cent less than that of 1917. The value
of the sand-lime brick marketed in
1920 reached its maximum and was
greater than that of 191S by 182 per
cent, and that of 1917 by 7.'> per cent.
As compared with the output in 1913
■that of 1920 decreased 10 per cent, and
the value Increased 101 per cent.

Seventeen States reported the pro-
duction of sand-lime brick in 1920.
Michigan, as for many years, was the
leading State in production and value.
Its output was 39,280,000 brick, valued
at J6tO,744, or 23 per cent of the total
output and 26 per cent of the total
va'ue. These amounts represent a de-
crease of 7 per cent in output but
an increase of 26 per cent in value,
as compared with those in 1919.
Minnesota, the second .State, reported
24.891.000 brick, valued at $290,394,
or 15 per cent of the total output
and 12 per cent of the value, an in-
crease ot 6 per cent in output and of
21 per cent in value. Wisconsin ranked
third in output and fourth in value,
Florida fourth in output and third in
value, and New York fifth in output
and value. These five States reported
61 per cent of the output and 63 per
cent of the value. The other States
that reported sand-lime brick were
California, Georgia, Indiana, Louisi-
ana, Massachusetts, North Dakota,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Dakota,
Texas. Washington, and the District of
Columbia.

The number of operators who re-
ported sales of sand-lime brick In 1920
was 37, the smallest number since 1903.
except in 1919. when it was 35.

Practically all this material, 99 per
cent, was marketed as common brick,
and 1 per cent as face brick. The aver-
age i)rice per thousand for common
lirick in 1920 was $14.61. and for face
brirk 519.48, as compared with $11.68
and $13.29. respectively, in 1919.

The manufacture of paper ranks in
age second only to the nianufacture o(
textiles.

(Continued from Page 4)

George W. Borden has been named
acting chief state highway engineer
of Nevada. The appointment was made
following the resignation of C. C. Cot-
trell.

The Minequa steel plant of the Colo-
rado Fuel and Iron Co. at Pueblo. Col..
has closed down, due to lack of orders,
leaving between 5000 and 6000 out of
work.

A total of ?2, 911. 514 was expended in
new building construction in the city
of Berkeley for the fiscal year ending
July 30, according to Dewey P. Colling-
ton. chief clerk of the city building de-
partment. This is an increase of more
than 11,000 over the previous year.
There were 1421 permits issued, which
brought a total of $10,972.60 in fees.

An intensive study of the drainage
conditions in the Eel river valley.
Humboldt County, is being made by
Prof. W. W. Weir of the soil technol-
ogy department of the University of
California. Later he will go into Shas-
ta County to investigate and aid in
the drainage problems there. As a
result of these studies a larger area
will have the benefit of a more sanitary
and extensive drainage system.

Sacramento City Council has ap-
pointed a civil service commission, con-
sisting of: O. Gl Hoipkins, W. E.
Truesdale and Walter .J. Hicks.

F. C Crutcher. a memljer of the staff
of Edward von Geldern. engineer for
Sutter County, has resigned and will
enter the Missouri School of Mining.

W. P. Boone of Dinuba and D. Jo-
seph Coyne of Los Angeles have been
appointed by Governor Stephens as
executive directors, with State Engi-
neer W. F. McClure. to carry out the
provisions of the California water stor-
age district act. passed at the last Leg-
islature. Both men are prominent in
water storage and irrigation work
The water storage act is a substitute
for the irrigation l^oard act. declared
unconstitutional by the Supreme Court,
and is understood to have been drawn
specifically to cover activities in the
development of the Pine Flat project
on Upper Kings river.

E. A. Wheeler. Superintendent of
Streets of Bakersfield. has received
from the United States Government a
patent on a road planer machine which
may revolutionize street repair work.
Wheeler also invented and patented
three years ago a machine for similar
purposes, laut lacking some of the use-
ful features of his newest invention,
which has been serving the city of
Bakersfield satisfactorily for more than
two years. The new road planer will
weigh 4500 pounds and will be drawn
by a tractor, motor propelled. It will
work, Wheeler says, in a thorough,
powerful and effective fashion at .•*
speed of approximately one mile to
one and one-half miles an fiour

Directors of the Oakdale and South
San Joaquin Irrigation District. Stan-
islaus County, have instructed their en-
giners to select a consulting engineer
to go over plans for the proposed Me-
lones reservoir and to superintend its
construction.

John McMuIlen. who with George W.
Catt founded the San Francisco Bridge
Co., died August 29 in South N'orwalk,
Conn., at the age of 73. McMullen was
prominent in tlie execution of large
contracts throughout the West and in
the Philippines. Among the other cor-
porations which he organized were the
Puget Sound Bridge and Dredging Co..
the Atlantic Gulf and Pacific Co. ot
New York, and the Atlantic and Pa-
cific Gulf Co. of Manila.

A deal involving the transfer of 27.-
000 acres of timber land in the Nehalem
region formerly owned by the Oregon
American Lumber Co.. to the Central
Coke and Coal Co. of Kansas City has
been completed. The immediate com-
pletion of the Portland. Astoria and
Pacific Railway will be one of the re-
sults of this transfer.

Offices of the Standard Lumber Co..
which have been in Sonora. Tuolumne
County, since the establishment of the
company have been moved to Standard
City where a ?50.000 office l)uilding
has Just been completed.

The city Council of Richmond will
test claims that the cost of doing
street work will be reduced approxi-
mately 15 per cent by using the 1915
bond act instead of the 1911 act. The
council has ordered the improvement
of Second street under the 1915 act.
while the improvement ot Bay View
avenue is to be undertaken under the
1911 act for the purpose of comparison.
Bond houses have informed the city
that there is no market for 1911 act
bonds, and that fewer and higher bids
may l)e expected as a result. Most ot
the work done heretofore has been
under the 1911 act.

The Michigan-California Lumber Co.
is planning to abandon its plant at
Camino. seven miles from Placerville.
for~a location on the American river,
according to word received from
Placerville. James Danaher, as-
sistant manager of the company, de-
clares his company is considering such
a move but up to the present time had
not secured a suitable location.

SHOULD ENGINEERING SOCIETIES
ENTER POLITICS?

The Safety Valve Club of the Chicago
Chapter, American Association of En-
gineers has a two-fold purpose — that
implied by its name and that of train-
ing engineers in public speaking. The
second phase is more than an incident
of the first: it is an object in itself.

Peculiarly appropriate was the sub-
ject of the engineer and politics — de-
bated at the July 15 meeting of the
club. By one side it was contended
that the American Association should
enter politics actively — firsct to elect
public officers and to secure legislative
action on the basis of those virtues and
merits which are apparent to good
citizens in general or to engineers in
particular; second to further legisla-
tion necessary to the carrying out of
desirable engineering work and to
secure legislation for the direct benefit
of engineer, where such is justified and
needed; and third to raise the political
status ot the association so that its
voice may be heard most effectively at

whatever future times it may be de- i
sirable for it to speak. t

On the negative of this question It
was argued that while the individual
engineer should participate actively In ,'
politics, the engineering society should t
not do so; that the cross-section of a 1
politicians shows him to have a profes- J
sion or trade whose ideals are dl- I
ametrically opposed to those of the en- I
gineer, and instead of the engineer up- |
lifting politics, politics would drag the
engineer down; that for the American i
Association to go into politics wouW j
mean that its ideals would have to be ;
changed, and that this would change j
the entire organization so that instead |
of being an association to benefit en- i
gineers, it would become a political i
body.

In addition to the discussion (d j
politics it was pointed out that to the
engineer's notorious lack of ability to |
express himself before an audience, is t)
primarily chargeable his equally no- j
torious lack of ability to sell his ser-J
vices — Engineer and Contracting.

CONSTRUCrriON op national ROAD
IN PANAMA

Consul George Orr. at Panama City,
reports that work has been started on
the construction of approximately six
miles of improved surface roadway
from the "Casino" at Panama City to
Old Panama. The amount of the con-
tract is approximately $275,000, and
the work has been contracted to be
completed in four to five months' time.
The portion of the road from Panama
City to the Sabanas is subjected to the
greatest amount of traffic and is to be
constructed of concrete. The remain-
ing portion from the Sabanas to Old
Panama is to be built of an asphalt
wearing surface on a macadam found-
ation. The roadway will be about 20
feet in width. This is a continuation
of the road-building program started
by the Republic of Panama about the
beginning of the present year and Is
the third award which has been made
since that time. The name of the con-
tractor who will construct the road
may be obtained from the Bureau of
Foreign and Domestic Commerce or its
district or co-operative offices upon
reference to file No. 32259.

1UI7 HOISIXG ACT TO COXTIXtE IN
EFFECT

Robert L. Shinn, City Attorney of
Sacramento, has been advised by the
State Commission of Immigration and
Housing that the housing laws of 1917
will prevail in California because the
Burnett Housing Act, which was
passed by the last Legislature and was
to have taken effect on September Ist,
has been upheld by referendum.

In a letter to Shinn. R. Justin Smith,
executive officer of the commission,
■tales:

"The Commission regrets that owing
to conditions over which it has no con-
trol, objectionable provisions were
written into the Burnett Housing Act
of such .serious nature as to call for a
referendum. It regrets even more
that certain desirable changes were
not included in the act and also that
as a result of the referendum some
good amendments contained therein
cannot be taken advantage of."

Achievements of San Francisco

Engineers Cited by Expert

San Francisco engineers have invent-
ed and developed cable car transporta-
tion, the Pelton water wheel, and the
suction dredge, and have contributed
largely to the development of the cya-
nide process, the centrifugal pump, the
bucket dredge and the construction of
buildings and other structures of rein-
' fOfrtd concrete. •.--->» • —

San Francisco has for tifty years
supplied mine operators throughout the
world with much of their equipment,
which has been developed through Cal-
ifornia's long e.xperience in extracting
mineral values.

These are some of the facts revealed
in an article prepared for the San
Francisco Chamber of Commerce by A.
T. Parsons, associated member of the
American Society of Civil Engineers.

Among other statements of wide in-
terest are these:

"Hydraulic mining was developed in
Xorthern California, and the applica-
tion of this method to other excavation
work has been mainly due to the en-
terprise of San Francisco engineers.

"From the beginning of hydro-elec-
tric development. Xorthern California
has played a major role in this field
and now has the highest voltage trans-
mission line in the world, with one of
still higher voltage under construction,
and the largest hydro-electric plant
west of the Mississippi.

"Power companies having headquar-
ters in San Francisco have total re-
sources of $276,000,000 and produce
more than 5 per cent of the power of
the. United States.

"The work of building the $45,000,000
Hetch Hetchy water and power project,
the $4,500,000 drydock at Pearl Harbor.
H.iwaii. and-of building construction in
San Francisco since the great fire, in-
cluding municipal. State. Federal and
pri\-alc jifojects, amounting almost to
$500.'i00.non. has been carried out by
.San Francisco engineers."

The development of California and
the adjoining states has been largely
directed by San Francisco engineers

and financed by .San Francisco capital,
while a considerable part of the me-
chanical equipment required for this
development has been manufactured in
San Francisco.

The development of California's nat-
ural resources has presented nfany
problems for engineering genius to
solve and the very presentation of dif-
ficulties has served to stimulate and
bring to the front the highest talent
available among students in the tech-
nical colleges, so that in bridge build-
ing, quartz and hydraulic mining, gold
dredging, canal building, hydro-electric
development, mechanical devices and
patents, and in, ship buildtng. San
Francisco engineers have been and are
preeminent the world over.

Here are some of the California en-
gineers who have attained distinction,
and who are cited as types by Mr. Par-
sons: The late Herman Schussler. who
at the age of 29 constructed three
miles of 30-inch riveted pipe forming
an inverted syphon across the Feather
river; John Hayes Hammond and the
late Hennen Jennings, whose engineer-
ing achievements in South Africa at-
tracted attention throughout the
world; Charles Butters, who helped de-
velop the cyanide process in extracting
gold values; the late J. H. Strobridge,
whose track-laying record in building
the Union Pacific has never been
equaled; Andrew Halladie. who gave
the world the first street railway cable
car; E. A. Starks. chemical engineer,
who was largely instrumental in evolv-
ing present methods of refining petro-
leum; E. C. Jones, whose process for
the manufacture of illuminating and
fuel gas from petroleum bears his
name; R. A. Oould. who, while head of
the Bureau of Chemistry for the 'De-
partment of .Agriculture, established
standards for canned foods that now
safeguard the health of the world; and
Charles C. Moore and H. H. Connick.
respectively president and construction
engineer of the Panama Pacific Inter-
n;itional Exposition.

ELECTRIC HOISE HEATIXO

With due regard to the selection of
heaters of proper type and capacities,
proper installation and reasonable care
in operation, electric heating of homes
and apartments is quite practicable
under the electric rates now in effect
throughout Northern California.

The electric rates availal)le are gen-
erally designed to encourage cooking
electrically and when this is done the
water-heating and room-heating fall
on a 2-cent and Hi-cent rate, which
is comparable to the cost of gas and
other fuel.

Every owner, architect or builder
should thoroughly investigate the ad-
vantages offered by electricity in the
ultra modern home before installing
a less desirable system which must
soon be discarded

No home or apartment house should
be built hereafter without provision
for present or future electric heating.

.\ separate circuit of two wires, not
smaller than No. 12 should be provided
from every room to the meter board
or suitable center of distribution.
These circuits should terminate In 20
amp. flush receptacles placed in the
baseboards under the windows. —

neer.

SEEK HIGHWAY MATERI.^L

Dr. Solon Shedd, geologist for Wash-
ington, states that an examination of
the country between Rosalia and Day-
ton in Eastern Washington along the
Inland Empire Highway to locate road
building material, particularly gravel
and sand for concrete work is to begin
soon. The examination is being under-
taken at the request of the State High-
way Department as a project oB the
Department of Conservation and Devel-
opment, D. A, Scott, commissioner.

Building activities in Alameda dur-
ing the month of August show a de-
crease of $28,844 in value, as compared
with the month of July. During the
month of August permits were issued
for eight new buildings costing $23.-
200. Alteration permits totaled $10,-
997. making a grand total of $34,797.50
a.s compared with $63,141.50 for the
preceding month.

An agreement has been reached in
Cleveland, Ohio, between the National
Window Glass Workers' Assn. and the
National Assn. of Window Glass Manu-
facturers whereby the unions accept
a 2S% reduction in wages. Approxi-
mately 15,000 men and sixty factories
are involved.

The Division of State Printing, Sac-
ramento, Calif., for $7.50 per volume,
will send you the guide book of Cali-
fornia Laws.

To stimulate business, the Reading
Iron Co.. Reading, Pa., declared a re-
duction in the selling price of all kinds
of pipe ranging from $10 to $12 a ton,
effective September 1. This is the
fourth reduction this year.

Frank P. Allen and K. H. Howard of

curtailed. Some large saw mills are
shutting down. Prices on some higher
grades show rising tendency, par-
ticularly prices for railroad material,
orders for which .still come in fair
volume.

previous record in number of permits
was 3515 for September, 1920. Only
three previous monthly records have
exceeded seven millions valuation:
September, 1920, and April and May,
1921, the last mentioned being the
high record — $7,433,760. Compared
with August. 1920, the month just
closed shows an increase of 911 in
number of permits and $45,549 in val-

BUILDING AND ENGINEERING NEWS

NOW IS THE TIME TO BUILD

(S. F. C'all-I'ost)

Now is the moment to build. Now
is the time — -after all these months
and years of stagnancy — when tBe
people of San Francisco can safely be-
gin again to build their homes, their
factories and their oltice structures.
The labor and employer situation is
brighter than it has been. Prices of
building material have dropped to a
point where they are almost at the
before the war level — and they will not
go lower. They cannot drop again
until the whole world situation is
mended, and some of them will surely
go higher.

Never, in fact, was the prospect for
the safe investment of ones savings
in a new home or a new building better
than it is today. A man can do it to-
day without the fear that it he waited
six months he would be able to do it
considerably cheaper. Money put in a
building will not melt away, while the
investor sits helplessly watching.

The price quotations on building ma-
terial ought to be sufficient argument
for those who hesitate. The cost of
Istructural steel, erected has dropped
from a former price, six months ago,
of $150 to $170 a ton, to a present price
of $110 to $120. Re-enforcing steel has
dropped from 4% cents to 2V4 cents a
pound. Lumber was $38 to $43 a
thousand feet; it is now $22 to $26 a
thousand. Brick costs from 20 to 22
per cent less. Mortar is 25 per cent
less. Plate glass has fallen from 2»
to 30 per cent. Paint products have
dropped 25 to 30 per cent. Rock, sand
and gravel are 25 per cent down. Hard-
ware is 20 per cent less. And plumbing
goods have fallen 25 per cent.

These are the materials of produc-
tion. Their cost is still 10 per cent
above their level before the war, but
they will not go lower. Higher freight
rates make the difference and there is
almost no possibility of any reduction
in that direction.

The material men have lowered their
prices to tempt the reluctant investor.
They are almost certain to raise some
of them again when the demand rises
to its former height. In such a situa-
tion the man wlio iiuilds first reaps the
largest benefit.

No man needs to be convinced of the
necessity and advantages of building
and owning a home. All he wants is
to be sure that he is building at the
right moment. And that moment is
certainly here.

HIGHWAY HAZARDS

Traffic saftey is an essential item in
modern street and highway planning.
The increase of motor driven traffic
compels attention to the "safety factor"
in pavement design. Deaths from auto-
mobile accidents almost keep pace with
the rate of increase of motor vehicles.
The National Safety Council says that
more people are killed as a result of
automobile accidents than from any
other cause.

To decrease this death rate and the
correspondingly high number of less
serious accidents, every means which
will tend to reduce highway hazards
must be enlisted. Much is being done
through safety campaigns and by in-
struction of drivers in the need of ex-
ercising every precaution. Such efforts
are effective and indispensable. But it
is necessary to supplement I him by
eliminating, as much as possible, the
danger element in the pavement iistlf.
This can be done by incorporating In
the surface design those factors which
help to minimize danger to trafTic. anil
by selection of type of surface.

The engineer ami llie street or high-
way otliclal can assume an Influential
part in the b\4ildlng of safer pavements.

Underwriters' Report on

Fire Tests of Building Columns

A notable contribution to building
science is the report on tests of build-
ing columns conducted at Under-
writers' Laboratories during the last
four years, which has just been issued.
This investigation is the only one of
il.s kind ever undertaken. Its object
was to obtain information on which
proper requirements for the more gen-
eral types of columns and protective
coverings could be based. The tests
were conducted Jointly by the Asso-
ciated Factory Mutual Fire Insurance
companies. The National Board of
Underwriters and The Bureau ot
Standards. Department of Commerce.

In the report, which makes a book of
nearly 400 pages, are chronicled a
series of 106 tests of columns, ot which
91 were fire tests and 16 were fire and
water tests, to ascertain (1) the ulti-
mate resistance against fire of protect-
ed unprotected columns as used in the
interior of buildings and (2) their
resistance against impact and sudden
cooling from hose streams when in a
highly heated condition. "While
columns form the most important ele-
ment in the strength of a building."
says the report, "few representative
tests have been made to determine
thejr ability to suport load when ex-
posed to tire, and fire experience has
only a limited value, due to the many
unknown variables involved. As a
consequence, wide differences in re-
quirements relating to protection
against fire exist between municipal
codes and other published regulations.

"The fire test series includes (1) tests
of representative types of unprotected
structural steel, cast iron, concrete-
filled pipe and timber columns: (2)
tests wherein the metal was partly pro-
tected by tilling the re-entrant portions
or interior of columns with concrete;
(3) tests where the load carrying ele-
mer)ts of the columns were protected
hy a 2-in. or 4-in. tnickness of concrete,
hollow clay tile, clay brick, gypsum
block, and also, single or double layer

of metal lath and plaster; (4) reinforc-
ed concrete columns with 2-in. integral
concrete protection.

"The covering materitis tor each
class of protection were obtained from
tile main producing regions of the
country, the object being to include
samples from llie jirincipal mineralo-
gical subdivisions that generally find
application in building construction.

"The test columns were designed for
a working load of approximately 100.-
000 lbs., as calculated according to ac-
cepted formulas, the amount varying
somewhat tor the different sections.
The load was maintained constant oil
the column during the test. the
efHciency ot the column of its covering
being determined by the length of time
it withstood the combined load and fire
pressure."

A few years ago the idea of using
wood for the purpose of reinforcing
concrete was embodied in patent
granted to (J. O. Case, who subsequent-
ly read a paper on the subject before
the Society of Engineers, says the En-
gineering supplement of the London
Times. Quite lately Signor Viscardini,
an Italian engineer, has been consider-
ing the employment of wood for the
same purpose in reinforced concrete
beams. The reinforcement proposed
consists of longitudinal strips of tim-
ber, nailed together at the ends and
at intermediate points, and placed
suitably for resistance to tension in
the lower part of a beam. Stirrups for
resistance to secondary stresses are
formed of vertical strips of wood,
sometimes nailed to upper longitudinal
strips serving the double purpose ot
keeping the stirrups in place and ot
acting as compression reinforcement.
The vertical members can be utilized
further by allowing some of the lower
ends to project through the under sur-
faces of the concrete, where they act
as plugs for the attachment ot ceil-
ings and fittings.

Location plays an important part in
reducing highway hazards. Highway
departments have been active in the
work of eliminating grade crossings
and blind turns. Longer curves with
super-elevation have also become
popular.

Still another item has a vital bearing
on traffic safety — the character of the
surface of the pavement. Pavements
have different surface characteristics
which affect sate driving. Weather
conditions often cause changes in pave-
ment surfaces which make driving over
them a very real danger.

Wavy or uneven streets are always
unsafe. Dust is dangerous. It may ob-
secure an approaching vehile until it
is too near to avoid collision. Loose
dirt or dust may hide dangerous holes.
So many accidents are directly due to
skidding that the danger element of a
slippery pavement needs no comment.

The prevention of accidents from
these causes resolves itself into a ques-
tion of the choice ot type of surfacing.
Obviously, the safest pavement will be
that pavement which will not become
wavy or uneven, which is dustless. in
which chuck holes will not form, and
above all. which presents a skidproot
surface under all weather conditions.
Such a pavement will diminish high-
way hazards to a marked degree.

Highway ami street ottlcials have a
disliiict duty to the public in this mai-
ler of traltic safety. Traltic on our
country highways, as well as on our

city streets, has increased to such an
extent and moves at such rates of
speed that the "safety factor" in our
pavements cannot be ignored by the
builders.

IRON FROM S.4>"D. IS C1,.\IM OF
J.VP.INESE

According to advices received from
Tokio, a new process by which sand-
iron, or magnetic sand, may be con-
verted into pig iron and thence into
steel, has just been made public liy
Goro Matsukata and Dr. Asobu Naito.

The discovery, the scientists aver,
will not only revolutionize the steel in-
dustry of Japan but ot the world. The
process is carried out by means ot
combining the sand iron with coke,
using hot gas flames and making ferro-
coke. from which iron can be easily
taken.

Japan has little or no iron in any
form which may be easily mined and
this tact has made this country one of
the biggest importers of Iron, espe-
cially from England and the United
States.

The discoverers assert that the new-
process will make .lapan one of the
liiggest iron producing countries of the
world, independent of England or the
United States In the matter of Iron
imports.

ONE THOUSAND ROOM APARTMENT

BUILT ONE THOUSAND YEARS

AGO

Complete and indisputable evidence
of an apartment building of 1000 rooms
which, in the belief of archeologtsts of
the American School of Research, was
occupied more than 1000 years ago by a
vanished race has recently been un-
earthed in what is known as Chaco
Canyon, New Mexico.

In recent years the desert sands have
been swept aside in Chaco Canyon, re-
vealing one wonder after another. But
the greatest wonder of all was found
last summer in Chettro Kettle, a sec-
tion of Chaco Canyon. Here was dis-
closed, after a vast amount of excava-
lion, the walls of a huge structure

which, entirely buried for centuries,
would occupy two large blocks if set
down in a modern American city. In
these walls are 50,000,000 pieces of
quarried stone, not to mention thous- 1
ands of logs, poles and slabs which j
were evidently cut in distant forests, f
transported by man power, and set in I
their respective places with the aid of- J
stone implements. j

While the work of excavation in
Chettro Kettle has proceeded far I
enough to show the size, general shape. I
and some of the details of construction |
of this amazing structure, it is esti- ;
mated that five years more will be re- j
quired to complete the job. Enough ]
evidence is already at hand, however,, i
to demonstrate the marvelous coji- \
structive ability of the ancient but un- ;
known race that was responsible for
the building. , ,

In enduring residential architectural ]
qualities this race attained to levels
not surpassed by the architects of the
ancient world, for here is a buildine^ i
which, abandoned, unroofed, and in I
many places exposed to the elements, j
stands as very few specimen walls in;^
any land have withstood the ages. Ar-<J
eheologists say that in wall construc-^,^
tion the Chaco builders were unsur-fi
passed and that it is doubtful if our6;
modern masonry will be as enduring. — .*;

RECORD-BREAKING YEAR IN

V.^LIE OF MINERAL PRODUCTS

The Geological Survey. Department-
of the Interior, has published its pre- 'i
liminary summary of Mineral Re-,j
sources of the calendar year 1920, a^
pamphlet of 123 pages, which records.':
for that year as the value of thef
mineral products of the country the^
astounding total of $6,707,000,000. ThisTj
value is 20 per cent greater than that'*)
of the former record year, 1918. and 45'i
per cent greater than that of 1919. -J

The salient features of the mineratH
industry in 1920 are set forth in theij
short introduction. Many of the figuresjl
are preliminary and some are esti-j
mates, but the co-operation of ihose'l
engaged in the mineral industry andf,
the long experience of the Geological.;
Survey in this work give assurancafj
that the estimates represent verw'
nearly the actual production. ,

The summary gives in compact fornot
general tables showing the quantitra]
and value of the domestic output o^,
seventy or more mineral products iili;|
1919 and 1920 and the total value of aXt,
minerals, by years, since 1880. It alsoT
shows the leading minerals (in valuejfi
for each State and the leading Staterfll
in the production of each mineral, a*
well as the total value of the minerals
imported and exported during the las^
two calendar years.

The general tables are followed by*
sections giving data on domestic and'
foreign productions, supplies, consump-
tion, import, export, stocks, and priceS
tor a series of years.

Concrete paving for country roadsi \
has come to stay — both literally an(i^ i
figuratively. Varied and extensive ex^ j
perlments and long time tests seem to. :
indicate that, all conditions considered, '
concrete is the best material for per- I
manency. minimum repairs and of sat- .
isfaction for traffic. There have been !
disappointments in concrete construe- ;
lion. Poor materitls. unskilled labor^ J
lack of adequate drainage, and other,
details contributing to failure. Al^
most any other paving material is pre^; j
ferable unless concrete construction, i* (

SKW KESIOBNTIAL. TRACT OPENED
IN MARIN COVNTY

Boxton & Zweig. builders, report that
they are starting a new residential dis-
trict in the Highlands. Marin Co.. a
subdivision recently opened by Peter
Baeigalupi, Jr., of San Rafael.

Highlands is a beautifully wooded
tract of 112 acres with a frontage of
more than one mile on the highway and
railrokd, midway between San Ansel-
mo and San Rafael. Mr. Baeigalupi is
going af the district in a scientific
manner. Engineers have laid out the
tract and road and sidewalk construc-
tion 18 tinder way. Several stucco bun-
galows are now being completed under
the supervision of the builders, Boxton
& Zweig, who are capable and expe-
rienced contractors.

SAND, GRAVEL AND STONE SHOW
INCREASED MOVEMENT

Trattlc executives, representing all
parts of the United States, have finish-
ed a canvass of the situation regard-
ing rates on grain and grain products
and on sand, gravel and other road
building materials.

They find that while for the seven
weeks ending July 16th the total car
loadings were 976.720 less than during
the same period of 1920, the loading
of grain and grain products increased
«7,B63 cars, or nearly 30 per cent, and
the loading of sand, gravel and stone
Increased 50,280 cars, or more than
33 '/i per cent.

far loading reports for the week
ending July 23rd show gratn and grain
commodities reached that week the

unprecedented figure of 64,919 cars, an
increase of 29,442 cars over the same
week of 1920, or nearly 100 per cent.

For the eight weeks ending July
23rd, the loading of grain and grain
products was 97.105 cars heavier than
during the same period of 1920.

The trafflc executives of the rail-
roads feel that these figures clearly
indicate that the movement of these
two classes of commodities has not
been retarded and does not require
stimulation.

With regard to road building ma-
terials, this is characteristically a local
or short haul business. The character
of the traffic practically precludes its
consideration from a national stand-
point.

Representatives of the railroad con-
ferred with representatives of road
building materials in Washington In
June, and gave assurance of their
willingness to reconsider and readjust
rates in particular instances where
the situations were found to justify
such readjustment. In accordance with
this assurance, readjustments in the
rates on road building materials are
being made where the special circum-
stances make it equitable.

TO RE-OPEN MARBLE Q.l}ARRIES

Plans for the early re-opening of
the immense marble quarries near
Owens Lake have been announced by
Charles L. Hilgartner. President of
the Hilgartner Marble Company of
Baltimore, and Louis H. Dappach,
Manager ol the Inyo Marble Com-
pany of Los Angeles.

The deposits, which extend for six
miles and cover an area of 3,200 acres,
have not been worked for more than
Hfteen years. Railway shipping fa-
cilities and electric power have now
been provided and a large finishing
plant is to be installed.

According to Hilgartner, wlio re-
cently visited the quarries, a large
market for California marbles has
been developed through the action of
Eastern architects in commending its
use in preference of imported marble
and large shipments to the Orient are
also contemplated. '•

An 4/iventor has given a i^crubbing
brush a telescoping handle go it can
'be used at several distances from the
hands and at any desired angle.

nest F. Burchard of tlie I'nited States
Geological Survey. Both production
and shipmi nts in July exceeded the
average for July in the last five years.

The production for the first seven
months of 1921 is more than 97 per
cent of the quantity manufactured
in the corresponding months ot I"
and more than 52 per cent of the
total production In 1920; the ship-
ments are more than 96 per cent of
those for the corresponding period or
1!I20 and more than 52 jier cent of
those for the whole year 1920.

Stocks at the end of July were over
1.470.000 barrels larger than on De-
cember 31. 1920. and a little above the
average for July in the five preceeding
years, through somewhat leas than at
the end of June.

The production of clinker (un-
ground cement) during the seven
months amounted to more than 53.-
000.000 barrels, and the July pro-
duction exceeded 9.000.000 barrels.
July stocks of clinker are reporteO
as more than 4,300.000 barrels.

INVESTIG.\TION OF REINFORCED
CONCRETE AND TILE FLOORS

During the past month work has
been pushed on the prepai^ation of a
publication which will give the re-
sults of the extensive test of a rein-
forced concrete and clay tile floor slab
which was carried out by the U. S.
Bureau of Standards at Waynesburg,
Ohio. This paper, which will probably
be issued as one of the Technologic
series, will contain information which
should be of much interest and value
in connection with the now important
problem of reducing the cost of build-
ing construction. It is not possible to
state just when this paper will be
ready for distribution, but the work
of collecting the data is now practic-
ally completed.

SIIPEBVISOR \VILI, .SIT AT

IIEVRI-NO OF COUNTY EXGI-VEER

The Third District Court of Apijeals
has denied the application of Drury
Butler. Sacramento County Engineer.
for a writ of prohibition to restrain
John S. Scholefield. a member of the
Sacramento County Board of Super-
visors, from hearing the charges of
Inetliciency and misconduct in office
preferred against Butler.

The writ was sought by Butler on
the ground that Scholefield was dis-
qualified from sitting with the other
supervisors and hearing the charges
because he was instrumental in pre-
ferring them.

The Appellate Court, in disposing of
this contention, declared that it is to
be assumed that a member of the
Board of Supervisors is "broad
enough, big enough, intelligent enough
and iione.st enough to cast aside any
prejudice he may have and view the
case impartially.''

The supervisors have continued the
hearing of Butlers case until Septem-
ber 28.

In the report of the American Society
for Testing Materials' Committee on
Concrete and Concrete Aggregates,
submitted June 22 at the 24th annual
ineetlng of the society. The methods,
which were submitted as tentative,
were as follow.s:

taken until the concrete has become
hard enough so that the cutting of
the specimen will not disturb the Ivmd

The production of Portland cement In
1920 was 100,023.215 barrels, exceeding
that In 1917, the ne.Kt highest year in
production, by 7.2011.043 barrels. This
amount was an increase of 24 per cent
over the production in 1919 — 80.777.93.T
barrels. The stocks at the mills in-
creased from 5.256.900 barrels at thu
end of 1919 to S. 941. 046 barrels at the
end of 1920.

Estimates of the production and ship-
ment of Portland cement in 1920 pub-
lished by the I'nited States Geological
Survey. February U. 1921. were only
about 0.3 per cent and 0.02 per cent,
respectively, higher than these final
figures for the year, compiled under
the supei vision of Ernest F. Burchard,
of the I'nited States Geological Survey.
Department of the Interior.

The shipments in 1920 amounted to
96.311.719 barrels, valued at $194,439.-
025. as compared with 85,612.899 bar-
rels, valued at $146,734,844, in 1919. an
increase in quantity of 13 per cent and
in value of 33 per cent.

Of the 27 states in which Portland
cement was manufactured in 1920, 21
showed an increase in shipments and 6
.showed a decrease as compared with
1919. and 25 showed an increase in pro-
duction and 2 showed a decrease.

There were increases in production
in al! the commercial districts and in-
creases in shipments in all except
three as compared with 1919. and yet
the estimated Portland-cement manu-
facturing capacity utilized during the
year was only about 66 per cent.

Four plants that were formerly ac-
tive manufactured no cement during
the year, one each in California. Kan-
sas. New Jersey and Virginia. Two
plants, one in New York and the other
in Oregon, resumed production in 192ii
after a period of inactivity. One new-
plant began producing Portland ce-
ment in 1920 — the Gulf States, at Spo-
cari. Ala. The producing and shipping
pl.ints in 1920 numbered 117.

In 1920 the average factory price per
barrel for Portland cement in bulk
was higher in all the districts and

ranged from $1.S3 in Indiana and in
the Illinois and western Indiana dis-
trict to $2.46 in Michigan; in 1919 it
ranged from $1.62 in Illinois and the
Illinois and western Indiana district
to $2.08. the average in Oregon and
Washington.

The average factory price per bar-
rel fur the whole country was $2.02 in
1920, as compared with $1.71 in 1919.
an increase of 31 cents per barrel, or
IS per cent. This is the highest ave-
rage price on record since 1892. The
lowest average price recorded was
$0,813 in 1909 and 1912.

The combined production of natural
and puzzolan cements in 1920 was
7117. 4S1 barrels, valued at $1,150,890, as
compared with 528.589 barrels, valued
at $5S3.554. in 1919. In 1920. 8 plants
reported production of natural cement
and 1 plant made puzzolan cement.

In its compilation of the cement sta-
tistics as summarized above, the Unit-
ed States Geological Survey had the
co-operation of the geological surveys
of Alabama. Georgia. Illinois, Iowa.
Kansas. Maryland. Michigan, Minne-
sota, Missouri, New Jersey. New York.
Oregon. Virginia, and Washington.
Exports and Imports

The exports of hydraulic cement from
the United States in 1920 were 2.9S5.-
807 barrels, valued at $10,045,369. or
$3.36 per barrel, as compared with
2.463.573 barrels, valued at $7,513,389. or
$3.05 per barrel, in 1919. showing an
increase in quantity of more than 21
per cent and in value of nearly 34 per
cent. The exports were sent princi-
pally to South America, the West In-
dies. Central America, and Mexico.

The imports for consumption in 1920
were 524,604 barrels of 376 pounds,
valued at $1,254,729. or $2.39 per bar-
re', as compared w-ith 9026 barrels,
valued at $52,636. or $5.83 per barrel.
in 1919 This great increase in im-
ports, which were largely from Can-
ada, is noteworthy.

The statistics of exports and imports
were compiled from records of the

best be secured by use of a core drill.
For specimens taken perpendicular to
a horizontal surface, a drill using
chilled shot may be used; but when
taken perpedicular to a vertical sur-
face, a diamond drill should be used.

The core specimen taken shall be as
nearly as possible a cylinder whose
length is twice the diameter.

In securing a specimen perpendicu-
lar to a horizontal surface, care shall
be taken to secure, if possible, a speci-
men whose beds shall be parallel to
the horizontal bed of the concrete as
originally placed.

In securing a specimen prependlcu-
lar to a vertical surface, or lo a sur-
face with a batter, care shall be taken
as to the point of securing the speci-
men. The lower portion of any one
unit of depositing in mass concrete is
mere dense than is the upper portion
..f the unit; therefore a specimen shall
I..- taken from near the middle of such
unit of deposit.

A specimen to be taken from hard-

ened concrete which has been removed
from a structure shall be cut out by a
drill or shall be cut into a symmetri-
cal test-piece by tooling or by sawing.
The method of sawing can seldom be
used to advantage in the field. In se-
lecting this test specimen care shall be
used to see that the concrete selected
has not been injured by the method of
its removal from the structure.

The specimens secured shall have
ends, or beds, as nearly as possible
perpendicular to its axis, and, if the
specimen has ends with uneven sur-
faces, these ends shall be made to par-
allel plane surfaces with a mortar
richer than the mortar of the specimen
or with a mixture of cement and cal-
cined gypsum (piaster of paris).

The Observer

IIUILD NOW!

During the war the cry was:
"Ships. Ships and More Ships!"^labor
and money were plentiful — the ships
were built and the war problem solved.

Today the cry is: "Plomes. Homes
;mhI More Homes" — labor is over-plen-
tiiiil and money is available — but the
ijrrspeetive builder, it seems, is hold-
iiiK oft for further reductions in the
iiriof of materials. Hence the hrms-
iim problem remains unsolved.

The man who awaits further reduc-
lions in the cost of building materials
is like to one that refuses to eat until
tile cost of food is lowered.

Wage reductiors of from 10 to 33 per
cent for many classes of construction
workers in Chicago were made by

believed, will end the controversy and
open the way for projects valued at
$50,000,000. The old pay was $1.25 an
hour. Considering the elimination of
all restrictions on labor-saving ma-
chinery and materials, save prison-
made, .Tudge Landis estimated the sav-
ing in actual cost of building would he

The complaint alleges that the charge
on crude rock from Flint to Tolonas
of 70 cents a ton plus a rate of $1.50
per ton on cement from Cement to San
Francisco is unfair, as compared with
the rate of $1.50 per ton on cement
from a competitors plant at Davenport
to San Francisco. The complain xnt asUs
a rate of 50 cents a ton on rock Ironi
Flint to Tolonas and $1 a ton on ce-
ment from Cement to San Francisco.
Reparation for charges in excess of the
proposed rates is requested.

United States in isao — estimated at
3.159.000 tons, valued at »12,0»4.000, or
$3.83 per ton — showed a large increase,
as compared with 1!)19. according to
Jefferson Middleton. of the United

of the Interior. The increase has been
34 and 71 per cent, respectively.

Praciieally every kind of ikiy showed
a large increase in out|>ut and value.
Fire clay, the kind showing the largest
output and value, made the largest in-
crease. 685.000 tons, or 40 per cent.
The output of this clay was istimaled
to have been 2,400.000 tons, or 76 per
cent of all clay marketed. It was val-
ued at J7,720.000, or ?3.22 per ton. at

Among the resolutions adopted at the
recent London meeting of the Interna-

This survey would proceed along the
lines of collecting and collating and
discriminating the vast amount of val-

is at present in the possession of such
agencies as The British Societies of
Engineering .Standards, The Royal In-

GLIDDE.V CO., P.\INT SIFRS., CUT
PRICES

The Glidden Co., manufacturers of
paint and varnish, has issued a scale
of prices showing material reductions.
The cut was accompanied by an an-
nouncement that the company believed
it the duty of every manufacturer,
wholesaler and retailer to reduce
prices to the utmost in order to enable
the country to get back to a normal
basis. While house paint was reduced
50 cents a gallon and similar paint in
colors was cut 40 cents. Prices on
varnish also were reduced materially.
The company states it cannot make a
normal profit at these prices, but
hopes to make up the difference In

Street Assessment Bond Corporation

Proposed by San Mateo Attorney

Formation of a new corporatir.n,
with offices in San Francisco, to handle
street assessment bonds is proposed by
("has. .\. Kirkbride, attorney of .San
Mateo. Kirkbride was delegated by
feMow attorneys to prepare the draft
of the present Improvement Bond .\ct
of 1915. which has added much to the
protection of street work issues, and
he believes that such securities are
now in a position where with care in
their authorization they can safely be
recommended for investment.

Speaking of the proposed corpora-
tion. Kirkbride says:

"At the present time there is an
apparent dearth of money available in
California for financing street work,
where the cost of same is levied on
private property. This shortage has
resulted:

In preventing needful improvements:
ill tying up capital invested in paving,
sewering and other construction
equipment: in loss through continued
overhead expense entailed on idle con-
tracting companies: in loss to mate-
rialmen through inability to market
their cominodities. and in loss to labor
at a time when the workingman needs
employment.

Capital which was heretofore avail-
able for such financing has been drawn
away through the attractions offered

by other form.s of investment. Under
these circumstances it is believed that
those interested, whether by reason of
their furnishing rock. .sand, gravel,
cement, asphalt or road working
equipment, or by reason of their be-
ing engaged in the business of actual
construction, should draw together
and co-operate in the creation of a
strong organization to handle and
market these securities.

The subscribed capital stock of such
a corporation should be at least $500,-

A reasonable portion of the annual
profits should be set aside as a sink-

paper sold proved slow, and thus help
the purchaser of same to protect him-
self from loss. AVith a good selling

the usefulness of the capital invested
be inuUiplied many times."

A. C. BLUMENTHAL & CO. OPEN LOS
ANGELES BRANCH

A. C. Blumenthal & Co., local real
estate firm, which has been very
active during the past year in large
building operations, have opened a Los
Angeles office in the new Pacific Mutual
Life Bldg. and will now establish an
organization in that city.

This firm is handling the two million
dollar Loew's Ackerman & Harris
State Theatre and office building at the
corner of 7th and Broadway in Los
Angeles, which is the most prominent
corner in that city, and have several
other building operations under way.

Mr. Blumenthal states the reason for
opening in the Southern city is that
the operations of this firm have ex-
tended over the Pacific Coast and he
feels it is necessary to have an office
in the Southern city. The main oflice
will remain in San Francisco.

The firm will shortly move their San
Francisco office to the corner of Sutter
and Montgomery in the California
Pacific Title Insurance Bldg.

The refractory silica brick industry
in the United States continued to make
progress in 1920. These iirick are used
principally in by-product coke ovens,
in open-hearth steel furnaces, in copper
reverberatory furnaces, and in Ihe
glass industry, in which they musi
withstand high temperatures, such as
would fuse ordinary clay fire brick.
They also withstand abrasion well.
The output in 1920, as estimated by
Jefferson Middleton. of the United
States Geological Survey, Department
of the Interior, was 255.000.000 brick,
valued at $15,540,000. or $60.94 a thou-
s:ind. an increase of 18 per cent in
quantity and 32 per cent In value as
compared with 1919. The quantity
marketed in 1920 was exceeded by that
in 1917 and in 191S. when the stress of
war caused an increase in the produc-
tion of all refractories. The value in
1920 was exceeded only by thai in 1918.
The price per thousand in 1920 was the
highest recorded. The output in 1920
was 46 per cent greater, the value 307
per cent greater, and the average price
per thousand 178 per cent greater than
in 1913.

Bagasse, the sugar cane stalk from
which the Juice has been extracted,
is being made into building material
by a manufacturing company at Mar-
rero. La., across the Mississippi River
from New Orleans. It is said to be
virtually a substitute for lumber and
iis promoters claim it to be superior
in some respects. The product is be-
ing manufactured in boards 12 feet
wide and SOO feet long, one board con-
taining enough material to build three
bungalows. Strips are later cut into
required dimensions. Discovery of a
use for bagasse is said to have devel-
oped during the war in an Investiga-
tion of insulating hoard.

During June. 65.480 feet of hard-

proposed by the Oroville Chamber of
Commerce. Businessmen are of the
opinion a city manager form of gov-
ernment wouJd result in increased ef-
ficiency at a less expense for a munici-
pality the size of Oroville.

Further indications that the cost of
building has taken a big drop. The
architect's estimate for general con-
struction of the Spring Valley school
was $75,000. Eight bids were received
by the Board of Public Works, the low-
est being ?)0.340 and the highest $55,-
222. Estimate for plumbing work on

That California bond houses arc in-
terested in the proposed sale of the $2.-
!i80.000 worth of bonds to finance the
erection of the Capitol extension build-

UF.TAIL H MDER Y.\RDS SHORT
4,.'M)O,O0O,00O FEET OF LUMBER

Retail lumber yards of United States
are short 4.500.000,000 feet of lumber
compared with their normal holdings,
according to Charles S. Keith, a direc-
tor of the National Lumber Manufac-
turers' Assn. and former president of
Southern Pine Assn. Mr. Keith, who
is also head of Central Coal & Coke
Co.. stock of which is listed on New
Vork Exchange, says the average
shortage at each retail lumber yard is
150.000 feet. There are about 30,000
retail lumber yards in the country.

Replenishments of stocks of retail
lumbermen to a normal total would
absorb more than 70 per cent of mill
holdings in the United States, Mr.
Keith says:

■Retail yards have not been buy-
ing lumber for three reasons," Mr.
Keith said to the "Wall Street Jour-
nal" correspondent. "First, they could
not collect their accounts. Second, the
banks would not extend them credits.
Third, prices have been falling.''

"Now, however." he added, "conver-
sion of wheat crop into money is re-
lieving the first two conditions. I
think it is a fact that lumber is sta-
ble. Price is not receding. So I think
retail yards are going to replenish
their stocks within the next five to
seven months. We are at turn in the
lumber industry. We rarely get an
order today that is not followed with-
in 24 to 4S hours by a wire urging us
to ship immediately. This simply con-
firms condition of yards as reported by
salesmen of various companies. I think
we will soon see a better volume of
lumber business at better prices and
that 1922 will be a prosperous year for
lumber industry."

IIIGE.ST OF >E\V FEDERAI. HIGH-
WAY ACT

Digest of the new federal highway
act, passed by the senate and now
pending before the house, has been
made by the office of C H. Purcell of
the federal bureau of public roads for
the Oregon State Chamber of Com-
n;erce. This measure provides for an
appiopriation of JTo.OuO.OOO for pri-
mary and secondary highways and for
♦ 15.000.000 for forest roads. The ap-
piopriation for primary and secondary
roads shall be distributed among the
states aa follow;); One-third accord-
ing to area; cnc-lhird according to
population: and oic-ltilid according t)
mileage of rural delivery and star
routes. The appropriation for forest
roads shall be distributed relative to

tile needs of the various forests and
to the area and value of the forest
lands in each state.

The appropriation for primary and
secondary highways will be distributed
to match funds made available for
highway construction by the respective
states. Those states which are at-
tempting to construct highway sys-
tems to connect with highways of other
states will be given preferential con-
.sideration. As soon as the bill is finally
enacted by congress, the bulk of the
two appropriations will be made avail-
able and the remainder will be dis-
tributed before the expiration of the
year.

(O-OPERATIOV OF EVGIVEERS AND
-ARCHITECTS

Says Engineering and Contracting:

"There has been difficulty enough in
getting engineers and architects to co-
operate, and there will be further fu-
ture difficulties: but we believe that
the two professions are coming into
ever closer agreement and practical
co-operation because such an end is to
their mutual advantage.

"lealousies either within or be-
tween professions are just about as
harmful and disgusting as are private
jealousies.

"There was no good reason for disa-
greement between engineers, archi-
tects, and contractors on the subject of
the quantity survey: but because of
the proportionately greater danger ot
disagreement on any subject among
three parties than between two. there
is just reason for .satisfaction in noting
that a joint committee of the American
Institute of Architects, the American
Engineering Council and the Associat-
ed General Contractors has brought in
a unanimous report endorsing the
quantity survey. Every such step
makes succeeding steps easier, and
even should one or more of the or-
ganizations unexpectedly reject the
recommendation of the joint commit-
tee, the tree of co-operation and effi-
liency will have added to its growth."

■•Ti) perpetuate ralitornia's glorious
past, and to build for her glorious fu-
ture, a mammoth memorial stadium
will be built by the Associated Student
Body of the University of California
at Berkeley. Greater in size and ca-
pacity than the Coliseum of Rome,
with a seating capacity of 60,000 per-
sons, this imposing structure will be
erected on the border of the campus.

Interesting, and wholly novel is the
financial plan for this structure. Dol-
lor for dollar return on subscriptions
is assured. $100 scrip books, good for
$100 in tickets to games, being issued
tor t-ach subscription of that amount.
These scrip books arc good for a pe-
riod of ten years, at the rate of $10
worth of tickets a year, for any ath-
letic contests in the Stadium, including
the annual "Big Game" at Berkeley
or at Palo Alto. The subscriber also
has reserved for his purchase seats in
excess of those covered by this scrip.

Students are now engaged in pre-
paring for a whirlwind campaign
which will begin October 3. in which
a statewide effort will be made to raise
the neces.sary $1,000,000 within two
weeks. A general committee, of which
Governor William D. Stephens is chair-
man, Ihas been appointed. The Cali-
fornia alumni are organized into local
committees for the direct solicitation
of subscriptions. Every student is at
work in some connection, each with
the desire to make this great memorial
stadium a reality.

Need for such a structure has been
felt with growing urgency since the
war The university now stands as
the largest in the United States, and
the national athletic supremacy gamed
by her during the last year has made
the need for a stadium even more
pressing. Thousands were unable to
secure admittance to the California-
Stanford game last year.

But most fitting of all i.s the dedica-
tion of such a structure to California's
dead heroes of the great war. In its
entirety the memorial stadium will be
a fitting field for the athletic contest
of this greatest of universities, and a
lasting memorial to Ihe hero dead of
the State.

It is with deep regret that the many
friends of Grant Warren learn of his
dc-th on September 15. the result of an

Press dispatches from New York
says: Spruce lath has increased in

sort has previously been available
since this species has. until recently,
been considered of little value. With
the imminent shortage of lumber, how-

a profit and its wood found to be sat-

table, which is based on careful
measurements from nearly 12,000
trees, is published in Bulletin No.

One Third of Big California Power
Program Now Under Way

By MISS CLOTILDE Gra:.\SKY
(Member American Institute of
Electrical Engineers; Associate
Editor Journal of Electricity, San
Francisco.)

A year ago. when the power com-
panies of California were facing a pow-
er shortage brought about by the dry
seasons of several successive years,
they outlined a plan of plant construc-
tion tor the next ten years which
should take into account the probable
growth of the State within that time
and the increased demand for electrical
I)Ower from homes and industries. One
and a half million horsepower are to
be added to the capacity of California
companies within the coming decade
under the plan as outlined, and $500,-
000.000 to be spent on water power de-
velopment.

Since that time, 300,000 horsepower
has actually been added to the devel-
oped power of the state and plants
with a capacity of 250,000 horsepower
more are now under construction and
scheduled to be completed within the
next ten months. In other words, the
program is being carried out on sched-
ule time. The present year has seen
considerably more than its quota of
one-tenth of the outlined program
actually constructed, with a quarter
of a million in additional horsepower
available for the growing industries
and home centers of the State.

Among the projects which have been
completed within the past twelve
months are the Kerckhoff plant, of the
San .loaquin Light and Power Corpo-
ration, which added 45,000 horsepower
to the service of the San Joaquin
farms, and also the natural gas burn-
ing plant of the same company near
McKittredge. with a capacity of 20.-
000 horsepower. An equipalent in-
stallation has been added to thejr
Bakersfleld plant, doubling its ca-
pacity.

In Southern California, the .Southern
California Edison Company has added
three new important units, all of them
completed during 1921. The first to
come into service was the $10,000,000
l>lant on the Kern River with its 40.-
OOO-horsepower installation, supplying
energy over the Greenhorn Mountains
to A'cstal substation, where it con-
nects with the Big Creek line. Soon
after this, a third unit with 22.000-
horsepower capacity, was added to Big
Creek plant Number Two. Big Creek
Number Eight has just been completed
with an initial capacity of 30.000
horsepower.

The Great Western Power Company
completed its Caribou plant early this
year. This has increased the capacity
of the company's system by 59.000
horsepower, and has added a world's
record to western engineering achieve-
ments by transmitting power at rec-
ord-breaking voltage of 165.000 volts.
Work on this project was started in
June. 1919. and operation began May
7. 1921. It is located ten miles below

I>ake Almanor on the north fork of
Feather River. The present installa-
tion comprises two 30,000-horsepower
units, consisting of two overhung im-
pulse wheels, each with 21 buckets,
operating under a head of 1,008 feet,
with a speed of 171.4 revolutions a
minute. Each of the buckets on these
wheels weights 1,000 pounds. The
diameter of the jet which strikes them
is 1! inches. These wheels and gener-
ator constitute a unit. Each unit
weighs 290 tons: the revolving ele-
ment of each unit weighs 170 tons.
Tran.smission is by means of aluminum
cables, nearly one inch in diameter,
which transmit the power generated
at the Caribou plant over double steel
tower transmission lines 186 miles to
the San Francisco Bay distributing
area.

Even this record is to be broken by
the Pacific Gas and Electric Company
in its Pit River project, from which
power is to he transmitted to San
Francisco at 220.000 volts. This work
is now under way. the great Pit River
.\"o. 1 project of 93.000 horsepower be-
ins assured for completion in July,
1922: the Hat Creek pLant .N"o. 1 being
completed and in operation, and Hat
Creek No. 2 so near completion that it
is counted that it will be in operation
within 30 days. This adds 20.00 horse-
power to the Pacific Gas and Electric
System. In addition, the Oakland
steam plant of the company has been
enlarged by a 13.000-horscpowpr unit.
the little 1200-horsepower Spalding
plant h,as been put into operation and
an S300-horsepower plant is under con-
struction at Spring Gap on the Middle
Fork of the Stanislaus p.iver.

Among other power developments
of the State, the Southern Sierrag
Power Company reports 28.750 horse-
power now under way. with some of
the work very near completion. In ad-
dition, there should be noted the 3350-
H.P. Scott Dam plant of the Snow
Mountain Water and Power Company
and the construction work which is
being carried on by the cities of Los
Angeles and San Francisco. The San
Francisquito plant brought in 47,000
horsepower late in 1920, and an addi-
tion.al 83,000 horsepower are Ufiden
way on the Owens River and at Hetch
Hetchy.

At the beginning of 1920. the total
available horsepower in California
power plants amounted to just about
one million horsepower. This capacity
has now been increased by 25 per cent
and there is sufrtc4ent qonstruction
work actually under way in California
power companies to bring this figure
to one and one-half million horsepower
within another year. When it is real-
ized that an abundance of electric
power is one of the basic pre-requisites
for industrial and agricultural growth
in this State, it becomes apparent what
an opportunity has thus been opened
for the future development of Califor-

lion of buildings as is usually made in
a Fash. door, blind and millwork fac-
tory, clearly detailed to scale of not
less I ban % inch to the foot, and docs

fOTTRELL JOINS STATE .\^l'TO
.ASSOCIATION

C. C. Cottrell, nationally Unown as
an authority on good roads, and for
the past three years State Highway
Engineer of Nevada, will join the Cali-
fornia State .\utomobile .\.ssociation
September 16 as manager of it? Good
Roads Bureau. He succeeds Ben Blow
who resigned to become manager of
the Victory Highway Association,
with headquarters at Topeka. Kansas.
For a time, at the request of Governor
Boyle of Nevada and the Nevada High-
way Commission. Cottrell will remain
as constructing engineer for Nevada.

He has a long record of achievement
as a highway engineer. Cottrell was
iormerly superintendent of construc-
tion and maintenance for the Califor-
nia State Highway Commission, and
was for a time assistant state high-
way engineer of Nevada.

He has been a prominent factor in
the Hght for good roads in the West,
and was a strong proponent of the
good roads bills which have resulted
i" Ihe Compromise Bill now before
<ongr<s:4. He believes that this bill
quickly will be pas.sed when Congress
reconvenes providing federal aid In
good roads building in the West.

As manager of the (Jood Roads
Bureau of the .\utomoblle Club. Cot-
trell will aid all northern counties
of California in solving their highwav
problems.

HYDRO-ELECTRIC BILL IS MEN.^CE
S.\YS BRITTOX

Industrial development of California
is menaced by the proposed constitu-
tional amendment, known as the Cali-
fornia Water Power Act, to be pre-
sented at the November session of thi'
Legislature, according to John .\. Brit-
ton, vice-president and general man-
ager of the Pacific Gas and Electric
Company, in an address before the
Lions' Club.

•The act would place $500,000,000 in
the hands <if a committee of five ap-
pointees, clothed with almost unlimit-
ed authority." declared Britton. "Thl.s
gigantic fund, to be drawn from the
state's resources within the next fifty
years, \^'ould be expended In buying
present water power sites, plants and
equipment and development at the dis-
cretion of the committee.

'W'onld Kill Industry

"Such an act would kill existing cor-
porations that have developed hydro-
electric power and now give California
the cheapest electric power to be had
in any state in the Union. Moreover,
it would bring to naught the program
of hydro-electric development now un-
der way which is necessary to keep
pace with California's industrial
growth," said Britton, "The present
holdings would be taken over by the
state and become non-taxable, thereby
depriving the state of revenue from
this source,

"The water and power act is essen-
tially the same as the Johnson bill, de-
feated at the last Legislature.
Indnatrial Snlctde

"Hydro-electric po\ver is California's
greatest asset," said Britton. "It
means industrial suicide to place the
control of such a vastly important re-
source in the hands of an arbitrarily
appointed committee,"

Increased development of 100,000
hydro-electric horsepower annually is
necessary to keep pace with Califor-
nia's Industrial growth, according to
Britton. He sketched the program
mapped by public utilities corporations
of the state for the next five years,
which calls for the development of
approximately .inn. 000 hydro-electrio
horsepower.

.■WVRKET FOR P.\CIFIC COAST
LIMBER IX MEXICO

In spite of the economic depression
which Is prevalent in the Guaymas
consular district. Consul B. F. Yost
reports that Pacific coast woods are
in demand in that part of Mexico. The
Mexican Federal telegraph system
uses mostly native poles except In the
cities. The electric light companies
at Guaymas and Hermosillo obtain
their poles from the State cf Oregon,
and cedar poles are mostly used. The
important mining and smelting com-
panies in Lower California obtain al'
their lumber and mining poles and
props from the State of Washington.

The Southern Pacific Railroad of
.Mexico is the only rallrond operaMns
in the fluaymas lonsular district. Till--
company is an important buyer of all
kinds of lumber, both finished and un-
finished, hridge material, piling, tele-

graph pole.s. etc.. and this company ob-
tains its supplies chiefly from the
States of California. Oregon and
Washington. The headquarters of this
company are at Empalme, Sonora, and
its purchasing department is at Tuc-
.son, Ariz. During the past few months
this company has brought in two ship-
loads of ties and bridge timbers from
the State of Washington.

The consumption of hardwoods,
chiefly for furniture making, is very
small and is not likely to increase un-
til conditions improve. There is only
one furniture factory in operation in
the consular district.

A list of importers and exporters of
lumber and lumber products in Mexico
may be obtained upon application to

Commerce. Washington. D. C, or Its

DRAIN TILE SPBCIFICATIONS BE:.

FORE THE A. E. S. C. FOR

APPROVAL

The American Society for Testingf
Materials haa presented Its specifica-
tions for drain tile to the American
Engineering Standards Committee for
consideration and approval as Tenta-
tive American Standard.

The history of these specificati<ins
dates back to 1311. when the A. S. T. M.
organized its Committee C-6 on Drain
Tile to meet two very urgent condi-
tions. The comparatively recent use.
on an e.xtensive scale, of very large
drain tile in public drainage works for
reclaiming wet lands had brought
about the unexpected discovery that
these large drain tile were quite sub-
ject to cracking in the ditch under the
weight of the ditch refilling. Also, the
extensive production of concrete drain
tile, and the resulting controversy Ije-
tween clay tile and concrete tile pro-
ducers as to the merits of the new ma-
terial made it urgent that additional
data be secured.

The first task of the newly organ-
ized committee was to plan and dn-
duct a Series of investigations cover-
ing methods of tests, the determination
of desired quality and durability of
drain tile, and a study of methods of
manufacture and of construction and
field specifications. In this work it
was actively a.ssisted by the following
Engineering Laboratories:

Iowa Engineering Experiment
Station, Ames. Iowa.

Municipal Testing Laboratory.
City of St. Louis. Mo.

University of Wisconsin. Madi-
son. Wis,

Lewis Institute, Chicago, III.
Engineering Laboratory of Ed-
ward Orton, Jr.. Columbus, Ohio.
The manufacturers of clay and con-
crete tile co-operated by furnishing
materials for tests. The American So-
ciety for Testing Materials estimates
that these investigations, whicli ex-
tended over five years, from mil to
1915, cost at least $25,000.

In i;'14. Committee C-6 repared
Standard .Specifications for Drain Tile,
covering strength tests, quality and
requirements for strength of tile as
used in ditches. These specifications
were tentatively adopted, subject to
revision. The specifications were re-
vised in 1916 and 1921. the latt.^r re-
vision consisting of a modification of
the methods of making the freezing
and thawing test as the result of in-
vestigations which had been under
way for some time.

The specifications are sulimitled to
the American Engineering Standards
Committee in accordance with the spe-
cial provision in the procedure of the
committee under which important
standards in existence prior to 1920
may be approved without going
through the regular process followed
In new work.

The committee would be very glad
to learn from those interested of the
extent to which they make use of these
specifications and to receive any other
information regarding the specifica-
tions in meeting the needs of the in-
dustry.

The revised specifications are con-
tained in the 1921 volume of A. S. T. M.
Standards. Copies may also be ob-
tained from the American Engineering
Standards Committee, 29 West 39th St„

THE HIGHWAY <-0\TK0VKK9%'

Newspapers, and through them, the
public, are constantly being bonnbarded
by propaganda from the press agent of

naturally it will be asserted by the as-
sociation, that the matter being sent

Road and Street Improvements

Urged to Relieve Unemployed

That American state and city high-
way departments -could do nothing
more practical or patriotic than to
follow the example of Greater London
and give work to the unemployed
former service men in the construction
of public imjirovements is the opinion
of Alfred Dryland. Chief Engineer for
Middlesex County. England, who re-
cently arrived in this country for a
six weeks inspection of American
highways.

"We are building a fifty-six mile
arterial system of new hard-surfaced
highways in the environs of London,"
said Mr. Dryland at the McAlpin." of
which thirty-five miles are now under
way. This work is to cost $6,010,000
and is undertaken at this time to af-
ford work to thousands of unem-
ployed former service men. and to
provide means for diverting more of
our heavy traffic from the heart of
London. The cost of the new roads is
shared by the general government and
the county.

".\11 told. 5.000 passenger busses are
operated on London streets. In addi-
tion there are 2.000 sight-seeing buss-
es. It is planned to add 2.000 more to
those now in use. This will greatly
increase the congestion of traffic.
Congestion is a much greater problem
in London streets than it is here. New
York docs not approach anything like
London in this respect. You have
nothing like the proportion of heavy
vehicles that we have. I am studying
traflic conditions in New York very
thoroughly and it is my opinion that
your motor drivers do not drive as
carefully as ours nor have they quite
the same 'traffic sense.' By this I
mean that driving a motor car does
not seem to become 'second nature.' so
to speak, as it does to our drivers in
England.

"Future road development in Eng-
land." Mr. Dryland continued, "will be
very much along the line of develop-
ment here, namely in the direction of
asphalt surfaces. The time is coming
when the United States will have the
finest highways in the world.

"I came here primarily to study
your Portland cement concrete roads.
I have been somewhat surprised to
find how well the cement roads resist
the wear of rubber-tired traflic. but
in the British Isles concrete roads
might he at a disadvantage because

"' have such large numbers of iron-
shod, steam driven trucks, traction-
ePKines and tractors. Development in
ICng-land probably will be along the
liii,- of the Portland cement concrete
l.n.se with the asphalt surface.

■Itoad-building Is making great
|ir.,gress in America but the great
weakness in your system is your
partial development of width. Little
aitention, also, seems to be paid to the
edtre of the road. There is a large
mi'eage of roads that are not up to
date. You have an enormous area to
develop. I have travelled more dan-
gerous roads in the vicinity of New
York than in my entire forty years of
eNperience in England. Your roads
ari> dang'erous because the paved
w idihs are too narrow for the amount
of traffic they bear. There should he
a minimum width of thirty feet of
pavement, affording room for at least
three vehicles to pass. The United
States, however, is developing excel-
lent pavements. It is only a question
of time and money until you will
leaO the world both in the quantity
and quality of your road.s.

".New York city streets have always
ranked very high but I have been
more than surprised at their excel-
len<e. Fifth Avenue with its superb
asphalt pavement is one of the very
finest, if not the finest paved street
in the world."

In addition to being chief engineer
fr.r Middlesex County, Mr. Dryland is
a frllow of the Institute of Engineers
of tlie British Empire, a fellow of the
British Institute of Municipal and
County Engineers, a member of the
p:xecutive Council of the Institute of
Transport. British Empire and a past
president of the County Surveyors'
Society of Great Britain. He was a
member, until its work was taken over
by the Ministry of Transport, of the
Engineering Advisory Committee
Hi.-! Majesty's Koad Board. In addi-
tion to studying country roads and
city streets in New Y'ork, Connecticut
and New Jersey, Mr. Dryland will
visit Philadelphia. Washington. Balti-
more. Harrisburg. Detroit, Chicago,
Cleveland, Milwaukee, Madison. AVis..
Springfield. 111., Ann .\rbor. Mich., and
other points. While in Washington
he will be the guest of Thomas H:
.MaeDonald, chief of the United States
I',ureau of Public Roads.

out is non-political, and quite as
naturally, editors, and a neutral public
will take the opposite view.

The automobile associations of the
state have a large membership, ap-
proximately Sn.OOO. is claimed, and the
matter for which jiublicity is constant-
ly being sought contains little aside
from attacks upon the work of the
State Highway Commission.

So far as we are able to learn the
views of the membership have not
been learned regarding matter sought
to be impressed upon the public mind,
which is a never ending tirade against
the work and methods of the highway
engineers, which, for the most part is
along lines of utter bias.

Highway building is still a science
far from perfect, but it has been
greatly improved upon during late
years, and since the first entrance of
the state into the enterprise, and all
things considered it is believed that
the highway engineers have not only
kept abreast of the times and the best
thought and experience In the busi-

ness, but that they have produced
roads in keeping with that thought
and experience.

Criticism is always welcome to any
organization if it is constructive and
fair: it it manifestly is offered in a
helpful spirit, and for progressive
enils. but it must be this or at once
lose all its benefits.

IIOAD UI'ILDING IN CANAD.\

Of the $20,000,000 Canadian govern-
ment appropriation for good roads, the
Provinces to August 1 have under-
taken projects which would entitle
them to assistance from the Dominion
Covernment to the extent of only $7.-
660.604. The B'ederal Government pays
its in per cent of the estimated costs
only when the work Is completed and
its inspectors and auditors approve the
work and the accounts. Up to Aug. 1
the total amount paid was $1,051,773.

proposes that the city of Sacramento
take the lead in the proposition by do-
nating a fund approximating $5 per
capita. This, he figures, should amount

mates, easily would reach the million-
dollar mark.

"Hard times" is largely a state of
mind. Therefore the statement recent-
ly issued by the U. S. Department of
Labor to the effect that more than 5.-
000.000 men are now out of work in
the United States need not of itself
alarm. Rather it should spur us to
immediate action in discovering the
cause for this situation and in apply-
ing the remedy.

For five years or more the construc-
lion industry, recognized because of its
far reaching ramifications as an index
of prosperity or the reverse, has been
confronted with repeated handicaps.
This season has witnessed considerable
private enterprise as recorded in the
volume of business in dollars that has
engaged the attention of the construc-
tion industry, but with the possible
exception of highway work, public
works have been notoriously inactive
— this in the face of the oft repeated
.statement that there is a shortage of
schools, hospitals, various municipal
structures and buildings in general of
a public or semi-public nature.

All of us can recall that months or
years ago we voted as bond issue, or
in other ways provided for the raising
of funds to further some needed public
improvement — a park development
with its adjunct of recreation features,
including perhaps, a swimming and
wading pool, a new city hall, new
Quarters for the Are department, a
new hospital, new schools, or what
not? The money for these is waiting
somewhere to ibe spent. Often the
spending has been held up by the mis-
guided notions of our public officials
that some other time than now- would
be more propitious for commencing the
work. In the meantime the public —
you and I — languish for the civic im-
provements which we thought had
been provided for and were to proceed.

There has been a tedious period of
readjustment, and latest indications
point to an upward trend of prices.
Some permanent new levels seem to
have been reached. This only reminds
us again that delay profits nothing and
is likely to be more costly if long con-
tinued.

One thing in particular makes the
present unemployment situation some-
what alarming. The more or less con-
firmed habid of suspending construc-
tion activities with the approach of

winter is certain to add to the ranks
of unemployed. Even in the "normal
times" of which we have been so wont
to speak in recent months, suffering is
with us in winter.

Bread lines are not in harmony with
the present commanding statu* of
America. We have more than half tfie
gold in the world, a natural wealth un-
told, abundant harvests, banks burst-
ing with money, inestimable resources
undeveloped. If weather sharps are
weather wise, a severe winter is ap-
proaching — cold supplemented by
shortage of fuel and the inability of
millions of unemployed to get the
warmth of necessary food and other
sustenance.

This isn't a cry of wolf, but a warn-
ing that human suffering and hard-
ships may be inflicted upon the pres-
ent unemployed as well as those who
are about to join these ranks unless
work and wages are obtainable. It is
difBcult to predict what may be the
outcome of a situation such as that
threatening.

Public work can be done more
cheaply now than at any time in re-
cent years, and the grave responsibil-
ity rests upon the shoulders of public
officials to inaugurate and continue
through the winter months every form
of public work for which funds may
be available as a means of preventing
a social crisis which they may other-
\vise be required to meet Action must
be immediate. Politicians operating
for political gain must forego that vo-
cation and become plain public citizens
and taxpayers, fostering only that iri-
divic\ual iiiterest which is the best in-
terest of the community.

Let Chambers of Commerce. Rotary
Clnl)s. Civic Organizations and ^1
other similar public bodies resolve
themselves into a Citizenship Commit-
tee of the Whole, kick politics out of
every open door and window and begin
letting contracts for work at living
wages. Competition of private enter-
prise is out of the way. There are men
everywhere who want work, men
everywhere who are willing to give a
full day's labor for a full day's pay.

Let's all go to work building public
buildings for public welfare! If we
do. we'll not have to make bread
for public bread lines. — Engineering

of Ifi-foot reinforced concrete "road.
the bids averaged $45,000 per mile.

The total highway mileage for Penn-
sylvania as given in a recent classifi-
cation presented to a Congressional
Record by Thomas H. MacDonald.
chief of the I'nlted States Bureau of
Public Roads, is 91.556 miles, of which
3.300 miles, or 3.6 per cent, constitutes
the state highway system. The State
Highway Department has available
from different sources. $80,000,000 for
the state system. At the rate of $54.-
000 a mile, should the department ox-
tend its policy of liuilding IS-foot re-
inforced concrete to the entire mileage.
It is estimated that the state highway

system would cost $178,200,000. At the
rale of $45,000 a mile for 16-foot reirt-
forced concrete, the 3,300 miles wouljtl
cost $148,500,000.

way en.-^ineers to reinforce concrete

BUILDING AND ENGINEERING NEWS

Saturday, October 8, l!

The Observer

As a solution of the unemployment
problem in this country, the Denver
Post wires President Harding' and Sec-
retary of Commerce Herbert Hoover a
suggestion to build two hard surfaced
transcontinental highways. Men out
of employment would do the work
under supervision of Army engineers,
under the Post's suggestion. . It is es-
timated the highways would cost
$100,000,000.

One hundred and sixty-four blocks
of street paving has been laid in Mar-
tinez. Cal., during the last two sum-
mers. The improvements cost $396,929.

During the month of September,
building to the total value of $918,-
121.50 was begun in Sacramento, rec-
ords of the City Building Inspector,
Ben H. Covell show. The total for
August was $348,788. So far this year,
from January 1 to September 30, the
building activities in Sacramento total
$3,365,478.

R. L. Jones, chief engineer for the
Sutter Basin Company, has resided,
to become oflice engineer in the Di-
vision of Engineering and Irrigation.
Department of Public Works of the
State of California. The resignation
is effective October 1.

Speaking of San Francisco, the Club-
man, in the Oakland Enquirer, says:
"Building operations are going along
smoothly under the American plan.
Union men are working side by side
with non-union men, and the organ-
ized fellow is setting the pace for his
unorganized team-mate. That is to
say, the union man is a better worker
than the non-union man. I get this
from a contractor friend of mine who
is usually reliable. I am informed that
all the union men are paying their dues
and keeping up their membership in
the various locals of the Building
Trades Council. This means, natur-
ally, that the union man by no means
believes that the day of unions is over
in San Francisco. He considers that
unionism is in partial eclipse, but that
the future will brighten up.

A complete acceptance by Chicago's
organized labor of the Landis wage
av.'ard or an American Plan city is the
unofficial ultimatum decided upon by
the Associated Builders and the Build-
ing Construction Employers' Associa-
tion of that city. It is also widely re-
ported that the employers intended
raising a fund to conduct an American
Plan war on the Carpenters' Union.
which has been belligerent throughout
the wage negotiations.

Building permits issued in Seattle
during the month of September totaled
$1,354,430. Covering the same period
during the year 1920 the totals were
$865,330. Construction in Seattle thus
far during the current year has prac-
tically equaled that of the first nine
months of last year. Since January 1
of this year permits issued call for
$11,024,275 worth of building, while
during the first nine months of 1920
the permits were valued at $11,216,235.

H. V. Michener, who for more than
six years last past, has been North wes:
stores manager for the Western Elec-
tric Company, having charge of the
branches in Seattle, Portland, Spokane

and Tacoma. with headquarters in Se-
attle, has been transferred to San
^'rancisco, where he bears the title and
fills position of stores manager of the
telephone department for the company.
His territory will include the entire
Pacific Coast.

Twenty-three building permits were
issued in Eureka. Cal.. during the
month of September. Improvements
carried on under these permits will
cost $132,000. the largest of which is
the Masonic temple, estimated to cost
$100,000.

The records of the Bridge Builders'
& Structural Society, from reports col-
lected by its secretary, show that dur-
ing the month of August. 1921. 59.302
tons of fabricated structural steel was
contracted for throughout the United
.States, equivalent to 33 per cent of the
entire capacity of the bridge and
structural shops of the country.

As an immediate means of helping to
solve tlie unemployment problem in
Sacramento, tlie State and Nation, the
Sacramento Chamber of Commerce has
adopted resolutions calling upon the
Government to build a transconti-
nental highway, and insisting that
Governor Stephens clear the way at
once for starting work on the Capitol
Extension buildings and other State
projects.

Ernest S. Alderman, a native of
Grass Valley. Cal.. and graduate engi-
neer of the University of California,
has been appointed Chief Highway En-
gineer for the State of Oklahoma. Al-
derman graduated from the University
of California about 1911 and has since
been in the employ of the Federal Bu-
reau of Roads much of the time, and
recently has been stationed in Okla-
homa During the war period he served
in the Engineers, and was stationed at
Camp Travis.

Advisability of a Federal bond issue
to create a fund for making loans to
aid municipal public works in years of
depression when jobs are scarce is
under consideration by sub-commit-
tees of the National Conference on Un-
employment. Such a proposal has been
suggested to the conference as part of
a plan for permanent safeguards
against bad years for the Nation's
workers.

The statistical abstract of the United
States for 1920. published by the Bu-
reau of Foreign and Domestic Com-

ut. there is no doubt Uiar the most
urbing element in the building sit-
lon has been the attitude of labor.
Ing the war. for every man taken
I the service there was a vacancy
ited. When one lakes into consid-
;lon that this affected millions of
I one can realize the result — the
vidual worker found himself com-
ider of the situ.atir.n. He worked
ut as suited his will, and 1 am

he other cases, conditions could not

, because the posiiion of the mass
abor could not be altered In a day.
disposition to work was much di-

minished, and as a result there was a
great decrease in efficiency.

It has been interesting to note the
figures compiled by different organiza-
tions covering building costs. The
associated employers of Indiana, in
giving different wage rates and pro-
duction records, show that since ISli'j
the cost of laying brick has gone up
from 55 cents an hour to $1.25 in 1920.
They further show that whereas 1100
bricks were laid in a day in 190-9. 541
bricks a day were laid in 1920 — the
cost having risen from $4.40 for the
laying of 1100 bricks to $10 for 541
bricks, while the rate per hour has
more than doubled, the efficiency has
decreased more than one-half. In
other words, it cost four times as much
in 1920 to lay 1000 bricks as it did in
1909. That condition, in part, applied
to nearly every other trade concerned
in building.

I>abor made all sorts of demands,
which were met. in one instance, in
Chicago, union carpenters worked on a
$1,750,000 building until it was two-
thirds completed, and then went fishing
from Monday to Saturday noon, and
worked Saturday afternoon and Sunday
at pay based on double time — not for
$1.25, but for $2.50 an hour. Mr. E. A.
Beals, of How's Reports, has traced the
volume of building, and the cost there-
of, from B05 million square ft., costing
$1.50 per square ft. in 1911. to 350 mil-
lion square ft. for the first nine months
of 1920. at a cost of $3.50 per square
ft. While some articles were ex-
orbitantly priced because of their
abnormally priced because of their
chief essential — labor. The uncertainty
and risk was very great, and this could
only mean a high rate of overhead. In
addition, there had been added govern-
ment taxes and other expenses. As a
result, increases in cost of production
and consequently in selling prices, have
been passed along from one to another.
The contractor cannot be blamed tor
that.

Taking it all in all. it is small wonder
that there was a drain on the money
market, and the banks finally began to
refuse loans to finance building pro-
.iects. Last .lune. a trust banker, Ben-
jamin A. Bills, in speaking to the
Illinois Society of Architects of tne
financial conditions in connection with
buildings, .said: "Wc were hopeful
that the silver lining in this cloud ot
adversity would be a consequent over-
production, which would mean the
bringing down of war-time prices. In-
stead, labor, as you well know, has be-
come tired or retired." Mr. Bills related
a conversation which had taken place
between a builder, a banker and a
labor union organizer. The organizer
had made a boast that his plumbers
would soon be getting $2 an hour. The
banker rather bitterly retorted. "I hope
they get $5 an hour, for then we shall
sooner return to the rule of reason,
which is based on a value received re-
lation. For every dollar above $1 an
hour which you get your plumbers,
they give no value back in their labor
upon which I can successfully ii loc i
get a return dollar on building loans
so made. This means, he continued,
"that 1 simply must refuse to loan ttie
savings of your plumbers on work
which your plumbers arc doiiiir. and
that, therefore, they can have and will
have less work, and finally no work to
do." All this, of course, took place
months ago. and co^iditlons have chang-
ed considerably.

As for the future, we can make no
sure prophecy. It seems to me that
the situation has been bettered, and is
slowly but surely approaching nor-
mality.

I believe that labor is assuming a
fairer attitude towards its employer.
There seems to be hopeful signs in the
efforts of their organizations to do the
right thing. They realize that a change
is necessary. Not only will it be neces-
sary to reduce the cost per hour, hut
it will have to increase its producing
nower. During the war. and since,
labor has been only from 50 per cent to
70 per cent efficlenl. When you bring
this up to lou per cent efficiency one can
see that it will make a greatdifference
111 the cost of any work.

.Ml of us. whether architect or con-
tractor, have let down our steam pres-
sure, and we have all been taking it
easy, much like the laboring class. But
I think the day is near at hand when
the builder— I refer to the owner, or
client — on whom we rely for our work,
whether it be residence or public build-
ings— will not tolerate our inefficiency,
and It's up to us to change our own
'methods before we blame the other
fellow for all the trouble. There is
much to say about union labor and
its power with Its jurisdictional rul-
ings. May be good or evil. I cannot
say. but leave that for you. Only let
us be perfectly frank in our delibera-
tions and be careful that we do nothing
that in the eyes of the public seems
unfair Transportation facilities are
better, and though freight rates are
much increased the actual cost of de-
livery is less. The money situation is
much relieved. We are looking for-
ward to four years of sound govern-
mental administr.ition.

It must be remembered that there is
nowhere in the building industry a
large surplus of building material sup-
plies. If there is a stampede toward
building, it seems only logic.>l thai lb.-
high prices will still prevail— and not
only that — another congested period.
Construction can utilize about al' tne
materials available, and this should oe
taken into consideration.

So, it seems to he that the situation
calls for co-operation more than ever
before — co-operation between archi-
tects, between contractors, between all
professions and trades bearing on the
building industry. If we all recognize
that we should do everything possible
to improve conditions we shall soon
return to a basis of living which
should be entirely satisfactory.

Review of "School Architecture"

by J. J. Donovan et al.

Comments l,y FRED M. HUNTER

The people of the United States are
just now engaged in developing a na-
tional system of public education.
Many leaders have long recognized
that the chief public function for dem-
ocratic people is education, but the
mass has had little realization of this
fundamental truth. A few states have
what may be termed a "State School
System." Numerous cities and commu-
nities have highly developed very
complex and decided etilcient school
systems, but to date no such thing
as a univer.sal system of public edu-
cation yet exists in the United States.
We are jusi now going about it to de-
velop one.

At a critical time in this process,
such a book as "School Architecture."
by Mr. John J. Donovan, is a genuine
contribution. People think of an or-
ganization or an institution in the
terms of their own contacts with it
or in terms of its tangible evidences.
A work which in a highly professional
«ay suggests crystallized standards to
the teaching profession, to the boards
in official control of the schools of the
country, iind to the architects and
builders who influence so greatly the
n:ilure of the physical plant of the
schools i.s distinctly helpful and sig-
nificant. This work is a survey of the
high points and most generally ac-
cepted standards of school-house con-
struction throughout the United States.
The author has chosen from the best
that is being done in 19 different states
and 63 different cities and communi-
ties. His concrete examples are chosen
from the works of 41 of the foremost
architects, engineers, and builders in
the United States. Nothing could be
more timel>- and of greater service to
a community, city or state seeking to
standardize the physical plant of its
school system than this high-class sur-
vey of the best standards. Nothing
could convince boards of education of
state, county, city, and local commu-
nities of the possibility of adapting
the plant of the public school system
to the complexity of school activities
demanded liy the modern community
better than this comprehensive treat-
ment of the best that is being done in
America.

Mr. Donovan's method of treatment
is particularly noteworthy. He himself
is an architect who in every instinct is
an artist and builder, but no more
complete recognition has ever been
published of the prime necessity of
seeking usefulness to the functions of
the school as the first essential of
school-house construction than is this
work. The emphasis from beginning
to end is upon the purposes of educa-
tion and the planning of schools so as
to best accomplish those purposes
rather than upon the construction of

•Superintendent of Schools. Oakland.
Cal.. and Former President of National
Education Association.

ijtautiful architectural monuments to
the name and fame of the planners and
builders. Mr. Donovan's thought
throughout is "The Children First."

The far-reaching result of this book
may be easily predicted. The ap-
proach of the author to a practical
realization of his ideals in s:;hool-
hi.ii>:e construction is naturally largely
lb rough those of his own profession.
To convince those engaged in the prac-
tice of school architecture that the
first essential in school-house con-
struction Is adaptation to the needs of
r>ulilic education, is in itself a worlh.v
life-lime achievement. Mr. Donovan's
iiook wi'l have wide influence with ar-
chitects in bringing them to feel that
the needs of education and the Inter-
ests of the children come first. A gen-
eration of more usable school-houses
than America has ever known will be
Mr. Donovan's monun-.ent as the result
of this book.

The worth of "Schooi Architecture"
is greatly enhanced by the use of the
concrete method of •i)resentation. No
community can fail to appreciati- the
standards of school construction thus
presented. The small community with
a consolidated school to build or the
metropolitan city with $10,000,000 to
expend upon a school construction pro-
gi-am may find in this comprehensive
survey the most practical and most
modern standards presented in a way
to appeal to technician and layman
alike. It is comprehensible and con-
vincing to laymen, officials, school
people, architects, and engineers.

The treatment of the more modern
and specialized school activities sur-
passes that of any work thus far pub-
lished. The socialized viewpoint of the
author, his comprehension of and sym-
pathy with the universal type of edu-
cation that is coming to be in constant
demand on the part of the American
people and his realization of the means
of accomplishing this have led to ex-
pert treatment of school-house pro-
visions for such features as the Junior
high school, hygiene, physical educa-
tion, libraries, assembly halls, music
departments, drawing departments, in-
dustrial and ■ vocational education,
cafeterias and an unusual discussion
of the ideal standards for the class-

im.

The ideals set by Mr. Donovan's
book for the con«tructlon of American
school houses will have a very large
influence in the development not only
of a standaird constnretion for the
physical plant of the schools, but even
in the development of the schools
themselves. The modern American
community is going to use its school
■system as its principal agent in de-
veloping its ideal of a democracy. The
schools it builds will be a tangible evi-
ilcnce of its conception of the machine
through which this great work is to
be done. Mr. Donovan and his collabo-
rators should take great pride in the
contribution which their work makes
to this great end.

The readjustment of wages in the
building trades crafts due to be made
in about a month, Harrison S. Robin-
son, chairman, announces that the In-
dustrial Relations Board of the Oak-
land Chamber of Commerce is prepar-
ing to take up this work with a view
to securing stabilization. Robinson's
announcement is as follows:

"Existing wage .schedules in the
building trades expire on November
12, 1921. During this month and in
.November, hearings will be held by
an impartial board, sitting in .San
Francisco, preparatory to the uii-
nouiicement of a new schedule.

' The Industrial Relations Board oC
the Oakland Chamber of Commerce
contemplates presenting to the wase
board the following:

"i. The establishment for every
building craft of a single wage for all
working in that craft is unsound. Its
unsoundness is proved by the fact that
It has never been enforced in all tlie
crafts, not even by the unions them-
helves.

'"i. There should be:

"A. An apprentice's scale.

"B. .■\ 'learner's' or 'imi)rovf r's
Kcale.

"('. A Journeyman's standard scale

"1>. A recognition of the riglit of a
workman to receive and of an em-
ployer lo pay wages higher than llie
standard to men of exceptional abilii>.

"The Board Invites comments ami
suggestions on these proposals from
the men working in the building trades
In Alameda County. They should be
mailed lo the board at the Chamber or
Commerce, Thirteentii and Alice SI.-j ,
tJakland. or made verbally lo K. \\
Olln. the representalive of the boar.i
These comments and suggestions will
be ea;-efully prefenied to llie w.i^ ■
board.

"Th« Industrial Kelatlons Board is

Construction stands out pre-emi-
nently as the key industry at the Un-
employment Conference now In session
in Washington, and the work of the
Construction Committee, of which
General Marshall is chairman, is one
of the main centers of action. Hous-
ing, highwa.vs, public works, construc-
tion repairs are urged as the be»t
means uf providing the only sound so-
lution of unemployment, viz., employ-
ment.

The work of the Unemployment Con-
ference Is two-fold, tile immediate
problem being emergency relief and
the later problem being that of discov-
ering the causes of unemployment and
also the remedies to be applied to pre-
vent recurrences of depression such as
the one in which we are now •n-
veloped.

The conference was at the start
broken up into committees, each of
which has been working on the phase
of the unemployment question as-
signed it.

These committees have worked so
rapidly and so much data for their use
has been prepared in advance that al-
ready the conference has been able lo
present its recommendations for an
emergency program for immediate
adoption and prosecution.

Twelve Recommendations

There are twelve recommendations
made, and it Is stated that "the views

to unite all State agencies and to ex-
pedite construction of roads and State
building. Likewise the Federal author-

NEW YORK'S TAX EXEMPTION
LAW BOOSTS BUILDING

Two stories come out of New York
City which need study by proponents
of home building. One story is that
since the tax exemption law became
effective just less than five months
ago. plans have been filed for 12 000
hou.ses and 9.000 apartments, to house
nearly 21,000 families at a cost of
*100, 000.000. The other story is that
costs of construction are still so high
that contractors and builders cannot
finance new home buildings. The
overplus of present costs is so much
above probable future selling value
that there is but a small margin for
loans.

Materials and Wngea StlU Up

Building materials, of which freights
are a large element in price, have not
reduced nearly in proportion to other
essentails. nor have wages. These are
the two factors which include nearly
all the cost of building. Until these
are reduced somewhere near to pre-
war levels, credits will be measured
not by Investment, but by Intrinsic
value. Remission of taxes does not
cover this inequality.
Rents Promotive Factor In Bnlldlncr

In New York, relief from taxation
his disclosed the housing need. It has
brought this flood of plans In 19 weeks.
It will be interesting to see how many
of these structures are actually built.
There is no need to especially promote
building when costs are low enough
t.i assure credits. Rents are always
the promotive factor and demand al-
ways keeps them above the line, so
that economy, actual saving, induces
building. Today in spite of abnor-
mally high rents, building costs are
still so high that credits cannot re-
spond, as there is nothing to equalize
the split between investment and in-
trinsic value. — Washington Herald.

The Effect of Tax Limits on County and Municipal Bonds

lly CIIKSTRK B. MASSLICII, of Ihi- X »-n l..i;. llni

It is not always the size <ii wealth
of a county or citj- wliich <1. t. rmines
the aalability of its bonds. Ami among
Ihe factors that (b^termine thi- salabil-
ity of municipal bonds, iiulmlingr in
that term bonils of counties ami taxing
districts as well as of cities :iml towns,
none is more important thnn a pro-
vision for unlimited taxes ii.r their
payment. Tlie ilitTloultlcs ni. I with in
marketing many public securities can
be traced directly to a ta.K litnitation.
A few years ago, when ib<- d'-mand
for public securities was sreiiter than
the supply, less attention was paid by
nvestors to the unfavorable f,atures
I many of these bonds. In thi se lat-
!■ r days, with billions of I>ibfrt> bonds
outstanding, and a demand for money
that can not be supplied, disei imina-
tlon has come to be used in tin, selec-
tion of investments, and this rliscrim-
ination has directly affected immicipal
bonds that are not protected Ij.v an un-
limited tax provision.

Tax limitations for current expenses
and for permanent improvennnis are
a necessary protection against l>urden-
-•'me taxation, but tax limit.itions af-
ctinK the payment of a debt legally
1 fated are utterly illogical. The tax-
yer can be protected again.st an ex-
ssive public debt by a consiitiitional
! statutory limitation upon the
.imount of the debt which may be le-
gally created. Many states have such
debt limitations in their con.<t itutions
and many others have fixed tbem by
statute. These limitations protect the
bondholder as well as the taxpayer,
but there is no greater unwisdom than
to limit the amount of the tax which
may be collected to pay a debt law-
fully created.

So vital has this appeared to law-
makers that a dozen or more .States of
the Union have written into their con-
stitutions a mandatory requirement
that no debt shall be created by any
political subdivision unless then or
theretofore provision shall have beeT
made for the levy of a sufflcienl tax for
its payment. In many of tho other
States statutory authority is uiven to
levy a sufflcient tax, but there .ire still
many States in which the aiimnnt that
can be levied annually to juiy bonds
is limited.

The number of these latter States
is being gradually reduced. In some
of them, where special and priv.ite acts
are still permitted, the tax limitations
of general laws are being set aside as
to particular districts and loca'ities.

The haphazard nature of iliese tax
laws is well illustrated in the State of
Florida, where the constitution imposes
no limit upon taxes tor county bonds
for any county purpose, but lixes the
maximum annual rme for sihool dis-
trict bonds at 5 mills on the d<.llar. As
a result, Florida counties ran ee^
bonds even in excessive amounts while
.school districts suffer from tlicir In-
ability to borrow small sums.

North enroll nn Ilaa Reni«v«Ml I.imlta-
tton

Xorth Carolina is one of the Slates
which have seen the error if limits
upon bond taxes. With tow ex, .ptlons,
all the general and special h ^^ >; passed
in that Stale In recent veils :- anllng
authority for bond Issue", have ex-
pressly provided that the (a.x lor their
payment shall be unlimited South
rarollna has followed the same new
policy. rjei.rgia ha-< loner sii.eo re-
moved all limits upon bond taxes by
constitutional enactments which make

mandatory a suflicient levy without
any limit whatever, .and as a result the
bonds of Georgia counties and munici-
palities find a ready sale. Georgia's
taxpayers have not suffered, for the
same section of the constitution which
requires the unlimited tax puts a rigid
limit upon the amount of lawful debt
that may be created.

Across the line from Georgia, ,\la-
bania still labors under a constitution-
al limit of bond taxes, with the result
that investors pay little attention to
pubMc securities coming from that
State.

It must be remembered that a tax
limit which appears to be suflicient at
the time of the issuance of a i)ublic
security, may presently become insuf-
ficient. Alab.ama has had exactly thai
experience. Assessed valuations change
from year to year. Sometimes they
change because property values have
increased or decreased, but in many
Slates they have changed by flat of
the Legislature, which has established
a different basis of taxation and a dif-
ferent ratio between actual values and
assessed values. Investors are well
acquainted with the fact that the.se
changes have sometimes been made on
a downward scale. In Kentucky, where
a constitutional limitation of bond
taxes still prevails, a school district
issued a comparatively small amount
of bonds when its assessed valuation
was about ?l,50n.n00. Long before
those bonds fell due, it became unprof-
itable further to develop the natural
resources that had given the district
its prosperoity. and the assessed valua-
tion fell to about $375, nOO. The 50-
cent tax rate allowed by the State con-
stitution would no longer produce the
amount necessary to pay the interest
and provide for a sinking fund, and
the bondholders were compe'led to
compromise. Many such illustrations
can be given in' many States. In one
prosperous Alabama city, where no
question was raised as to the legality
ot any bonds it had issued, the authori-
ties were able to effect a compromise
which gave the bondholders new bonds
at half the face value of the outstand-
ing bonds and at only 3 per cent inter-
eat. Only one bond issue of that city
escaped the general disaster, through
the fact that it constituted a lien upon
public property, and the bondholders
took possession of that property under
order of the United States courts.

IiiMnmnce Companies the HeavlCNt
Bnyers

The great insurance companies are
among the heaviest investors In mu-
nicipal securities. I/ong experience has
taught them wisdom in these invest-
ments. Their attitude on the tax limit
question may he illustrated by an oc-
currence within the past year. .V syn-
dicate of investment houses had pur-
chased an issue of ?2. 000.000 bonds of
a prominent city with a population of
over 7.'), 000 and contracted to sel! this
issue to four of the large insurance
companies. One after the other, all
acting independently, the counsel of
these four companies raised the ob-
jection that there was a limitation
upon the amount of tax the city might
legally bvy for the payment ot the
bonds. Three of the counsel were
finally persuaded that the HmilnHnn
had been repealed and their com-
panies accorilingly accepted the bonds.
T5ul the com. sol of tiie largest of the
four companies w;i» unable to resolve
hl8 doubt as to whether the limit bad

been repealed, and accordingly de-
clined to accept the bonds. And yet
that city has a perfect record of
lirompl payment of principal and in-
terest of its indebtedness.

Inventors Remember Oefniilto

An innocent purchaser of public se-
eurities is protected by the courts
from many irregularities in their is-
suance. He is never protected against
the evil consequences of a tax limit.
There are communities in the United
.states which, abhorring the very
thought of repudiation, have neverthe-
less been compelled to repudiate and
eompromise because the maximum
limits of taxes they were permitted to
levy have not been sulficient to meet
their debts. One of the greatest
American cities suffered that dishonor,
but rose in its might and demanded
.and obtained a constitutional amend-
ment for itself alone, empowering it
to levy sufficient taxes to pay its cred-
itors. It was many years, however,
before it could outlive the effects of
that dishonor. The laws permitting
investment of funds of savings banks
in New York and the various .N'ew
England States, make it a condition
of such investments that no default
shall have occurred within a given
long period. Investors remember
ihese defaults. They are sensible of
the reasons why the defaults occurred
and they are not anxious again to put
themselves into a position which
makes the payment of their bonds de-t'
pendent upon the continued prosperity
of the city or county which issued
them.

Perhaps the worst form of tax lim-
itation is the general limitation which
lixes the maximum rate of annual tax
for all purposes. If the amount raised
I'.v such a tax is insufficient to pay
running municipal expenses and also
the principal and interest of outstand-
ing bonds, the courts hold that the
payment of running expense comes
first, and that the creditors can have
no part of the taxes which the munici-
|jal authorities in their discretion
choose to apply to those expenses. In
other words, the maintenance of the
life of a municipality is its first duty
and Ihe courts will not disturb the
judgment of its governing body as to
I he amount necessary for mainte-
nance.

There are many laws on the statute
looks to day which fix so high a limit
iiI)on the amount of bonds which may
he issued, and so low a limit upon the
amount of taxes that may be levied to
pay them, that it is a foregone con-
elusion that the bonds will not be en-
torcible if the entire amount allowed
hy law be issued.

Those who are interested in the
building up of communities by road
construction should see to it that their
representatives in the Legislature be-
come acquainted with the conditions
that will enable money to be borrowed
for those purposes, and especially with
the primary condition, now In almost
universal demand by investors, that
all tax limitations for the payment of
municipal bonds be repealed.

One of the most ingenious plans
for a bridge across the bay is that
suggested by John Meholin of Oak-
land, a designer, who has an idea for
a bridge comprising eight floors, which,
if built, would be one hundred feet in
height. Meholin claims that by reason
of the great height the bridge could be
made highly rigid, permitting of longer
spans and fewer piers. Each floor
would unload on a separate special
branch of traffic, permitting one-way
travel and high speed, so that the dis-
tance would be shortened. Each floor
would unload on a separate street,
avoiding traflic congestion. Meholin
says that any bridge desi.gned should
provide for expansion to meet the fu-
ture requirements, and claims that his
idea would meet that demand. He will
present his plans to Marston Campbell,
head of the East Bay Bridge Commit-
tee.

leld on October 19ih. A very inter-
sting talk was given by Mr. Charle-s

nembers of the progress the Exchange
,nd Central Council has made during
he last six months and the increase in
oeml'-rship ot the Exchange to ;i60
nembers, which speaks well for its
ifflcers.

It was voted to appoint a committee
0 arrange for the annual banquet of

The establishment of a school for
pprentices was also discussed. Talk.s

61,000 Miles of Road in California;

Public Roads Bureau Compiles Data

There are approximately Sl.OOu
miles of dedicated roads of all kinds
in California and of this mileage 97r
or 5.500 are in the State highway sys-
tem. The maintenance of this tre-
mendous State system is a constantly
growing problem as the mileage of
improved highways increases. At pres-
ent over 3:;00 miles are constructed
and under maintenance, but the traf-
fic is doubling every thirty months,
without any proportionate increase in
funds for maintenance. The road prob-
lem is fast becoming of first import-
ance among governmental activities,
and it requires no stretch of the im-
agination to visualize the entire nation
fretted with improved and semi-per-
manent highways.

Realizing the importance of the sub-
ject, the Federal Bureau of Public
Roads, which recently made a survey
of the California State system show-
ing our present State paved roads
earning us $20,000,000 per year, is un-
dertaking a project of ascertaining the
total mileage of rural and urban high-
ways in the United States, the char-
acter and extent of their improvement
and the origin and disbursement of
funds for their improvement and main-
tenance. In speaking of the project,
the Federal bureau says;

"The need for such a survey is most
urgent. The whole matter of Federal
co-operation in road construction is
now under consideration in Congress
While there are a number of conflict-
ing opinions as to the methods which
should be adopted by the Government,
it is practically certain that future
Federal participation will be limited to
a small percentage of the roads of the
country. To provide a basis for future
action by the Government it is im-
perative that an accurate picture of
the present highway situation be ob-
tained both with respect to the whole
field to be covered and a!so as to the
part of the work that has already
been done.

"From the standpoint of the States

and local communities themselvi-s. it
is highly desirable to collect for pur-
pos-.s of reference, information as to
the methods of administration and
financing employed by every commu-
nity. The States have set out to build
extensive State road systems; counties
and local communities are voting
larse amounts of bonds and taxing
themselves to the limit in order to
raise funds for the betterment of their
roads. In the main, each State and
each community is proceeding to the
solution of its own local problems
with no conception of what the other
is doing. Every State and every com-
munity will gain by a better knowl-
edge of what is being done elsewhere,
particularly in respect to methods of
administration and financing. Common
council is a wonderful solvent of dilH-
eultifs. and the survey which is being
undertaken will serve as the means
for an interchange of ideas which
should be most beneficial to every
community and to the Xation as a
whole.

"The Bureau believes that, with the
total annual road and street expendi-
tures rapidly approaching the billion-
iloUar mark, it is time that the Nation
made a careful survey of the entire
field of public highway activities in
order that it may have at least as
much accurate Information in regard
lo the essential features of our high-
way work as a private organization
would hold absolutely indispensable in
the interest of common sense, effl-
eienc.v, and economy. The present
plans provide not only for securing
these data for this year, but look for-
ward to keeping this information up
to date,"

The Bureau of Public Roads has 13
Federal district offices which exercise
control over Federal-aid projects
throughout the Nation. It is proposed
to make these offices the centers for
i_-aihering the data from the States
comprising each district.

the cleaning of bars does not preseiit

The estimate for the construction of
the Merced Irrigation District project,
calling for the irrigation of 173,000

ered from $14,000,000 to $12,000,000 by
the California State Bond Certification
Board, it is announced by F. J. Moun-
tain, secretary of tlie board. De-
creased cost of labor and materials
and modification of district plans,
which call for the impounding of the
waters of the Merced River and the
purchase of the Crocker-Huffman Com-
pany water system have made possible
a cut of $2,000,000 in the estimate. The
district may now hold its bond elec-

disappointed In this conference If
oe» not face this situation and rec-
n«nd a step towards cooperative

business organization. We must not
be afraid of that step.

For thirty years we have floundered
through a mass of restrictive legisla-
tion in an effort to compel competition
as illustrated in the Interstate Com-
merce Commission and the Public
.Service Commission, and this effort
can be plainly cal!ed an error which
has accomplished nothing. In 1913,
disregarding these precedents, we or-
ganized cooperatively our banks, and
thus we have already made the first
step towards cooperative organization,
and did so in the "nick of time." Our
nationally organized banks have Just
ridden through the greatest financial
storm in history, maintaining financial
stability throughout a period of great
irflation, and we can now confidently
say that they have handled the much
more difficult problem of deflation
with equal success, because we have
passed its greatest difficulties.

This financial legislation was one of
the first steps of industrial reorgani-
zation and the most important. The
next step, as I see it. is the national
organization of coal mining and dis-
tribution as the most important move
affecting the price of every material
and its transportation. Cheap coal is
necessary to maintain our position ir
the world market for our surplus prod-
ucts, and coal mining under competi-
tive conditions has reached the point
where reorganization is essential in
any event. The argument as to which
industries should be reorganized is not
liere opened, Ijut a recognition of the
principle is important and a step to-
wards it should be taken by this con-
ference. The only questions that 1
see open for discussion are which step
shall we take and whether that step
should involve several industries or
but one. My personal preference is
one.

Many people believe the development
of the trusts is a preliminary step to-
wards Socialism, instead of seeing in
them the single inexorable effort to
avoid the wastes of competitive effort.
1 am convinced the development of
cooperation as exemplified during tht
last forty years in big and little bus-
iness is an evolution towards scientific
organization of business and that that
development is necessary to civiliza-
tion.

When a business cycle reaches the
period of depression and unemploy-
ment, two types of emergency action
are possible. First, by employment
l>ureaus, men are placed in touch with
any available work, and by a reduction
of working time or alternate shifts,
employment is spread to a greater
number of men. These measures di
not reduce the amount of unemploy-
ment, but they do mitigate the Intens-
ity of Its effect. The second type ac-
tually creates a demand for labor.
Both means are essential, but It is
through the second in some field of
Industry where the demand for com-
modities Is capable of stimulation that
actual recovery betrins. So far the
area in which a demand can be arti-
ficially stimulated has been small, and
every country, as shown by economic
history, turns In times of industrial
depression to its ever present shortage
of construction. Both private and pub-
lic work have been used as the ful-
crum for starting industrial recovery.
In the present situation the well-
known slogan, "build public worlcB In
tiroes of depression," Is again advo-

cated, and this principle should bt
carefully investigated, to determine its
possibiliiies as a remedy for unemploy-
ment. If construction In conjunction
with other measures is advisable, the
ground should be cleared for putting
it un.l. r way. But before such action
can be successfully carried out, the co-
operation of public officials, industrial
leaders, and the public at large must
be secured. This means that they must
see exactly how construction is able
to give relief.

To .siiow the feasibility of starting
industrial recovery and giving em-
ployment by inaugurating construc-
tion (both public and private work),
an analysis of the five fundamental
factors is presented. They are:

I. Hependence of other industries
upon construction for a mar-
ket.
^. I'resent shortage and the demand
for construction.

3. Capacity to increase employment.

4. Causes delaying construction.

a. Steps necessary to revive con-
struction.

The factors vitally affecting the
present unemployment emergency are
here briefly outlined.

1. Dependence of Other Indnstrle*

Construction holds the position of a
key industry through which the prod-
ucts of some forty other industries
find their way to a consumer, and the
innumerable items of materials and
equipment produced by them convergt
to a narrow outlet, governed by con-
struction operations. Therefore, when
these operations are stopped they
block the outlet for hundreds of prod-
ucts and intensify in the basic indus-
tries the effect of unemployment.

Steel and lumber production espe-
cially suffer when construction be-
comes stagnant. Before either of these
can again give employment to the us-
ual number of men. orders for struc-
tural members, lumber and other prod-
ucts used in the many branches of
construction must be received. This
principle acts also in all of the forty
basic industries, and in these indus-
tries more than in construction itself,
the capacity to provide employe. ent
lies.
2. Prenrnt Skortagre of Conntrnction

The potential demand for both pri-
vate and public works, which can by
proper a<-tion be converted into a com-
mercial demand for materials and
labor, has been estimated by numer-
ous agencies, who place the amount at
from fourteen to twenty billion dol-
lars. Reliable statistics for such esti-
mates are meager, but the main items
of these various estimates show close
agreement. The need for mercantile
and industrial buildings which Is ob-
viously synchronized with the trade
cycle is low. But the requirements of
housing, public utilities, and various
types ><{ public works undoubtedly
need an intensified building program
for several years to come. The hous-
ing shortage Is placed at 1.000.000
homes, involving an expenditure of
approximately Ave billions. The rail-
ways, according to Mr. E. H. Harri-
man's estimate some years ago. lacked
construction to the amount of five bil-
lions, practically none of which has yet
been attempted. An expenditure of two
billions represents the needs of our
public utilities, and. according to th-
plans laid for highway development.
some two billions Is needed for public
roads, FlSQlamatlon, irrigation, bar-

bors, and hydro-electric work need an-
other billion. In California alone,

projects to .the extent of $400,000,000
for hydro-electrio devplopment are
contemplated. These estimates place
the country's need at some fifteen bil-
lions.

3. Caiiacity to Increase Ebnployment
Construction normally employs some-
what over one and one-fourth million
men. The number of employes in the
basic industries engaged in producing
construction materials, products and
equipment was recently estimated by
the United .States Chamber of Com-
merce to be one-fourth of the em-
ployes engaged in manufacturing and
mechanical work — approximately 2.6
millions. Probably one-eighth of those
in mining and transportation, or 0.4
million, also depend upon construction.
If these figures, commonly accepted in
the absence of accurate statistics, are
correct, the ration between labor in
the basic industries and in construc-
tion is about two and one-half to one.
This indicates that when two men are
set to work in the field, seven men are
employed in the w^hole construction
group.

In the present emergency not only
the number of men, but also the time
required to place them at work, is im-
portant. For an estimate of this we
can rely only upon the judgment of
men experienced in construction ope-
rations.

Seasonal considerations and the lack
of preparation in matters of design
and plans make it impossible to start
immediately all work for which public
appropriations have been provided.
But if a major part of this work is
started in November, if this conference
can influence private agencies also to
start work by then, it is estimated
that within 90 days employment could
be found for nearly a million men.
4. Factors Delaying Constrnction
Both private and public work have
been delayed primarily on account of
high construction cost. This cost has
been brought about not only by ad-
vance cost of labor and material, but
also by increased freight rates and
heavy financial charges.

<n) Labor and Materials
Government index building material
prices reached a level of 341 in 1920,
while construction labor advanced to
the index of approximately 230. Com-
prehensive figures are not available,
but both of these are believed now to
be in the neighborhood of 160, though
union labor is higher. It should be
remembered, however, in considering
these index numbers, that prices were
steadily increasing before the war at
the rate of two and one-half per cent
a year and would probably have landed
without the war at what is now 120.
The present level is, therefore, some
40 points above what we would choose
to designate as normal. The index of
finished construction as indicated by
industrial buildings stood between 160
and 170 in July, and is now between
150 and 160. The index curve has
stopped its descent and immediate de-
flation is apparently at an end.

It should be noted that wages have
kept in step with the per capita In-
crease of money in the United States.
Whether this relation must necessarily
continue is a mooted question, but as
the present per capita wealth is some
60 per cent above that of 1914. it ap-
pears that a wage level of 160 as pre-
dicted over a year ago by at least one
economist, is at a stabilizing point. In
any event, upon this index principally
depends any great reduction of cost.
Any saving that might be made by
lower labor and materials cost will un-
doubtedly be insignificant compared
with the expense of any system of
charity or doles that might be neces-
sitated by further postponement ot
Tvork,

If construction is delayed until pro-
ducers in the basic industries are
driven out, recurrence of the situation
of 1920 may be expected. The supply
of material will be so low that price.s
may move rapidly upward when revival
does take place. We shall doubtless
be forced to look outside the field of
actual labor and materials cost to find
a means of bringing about the imme-
diate reduction which will influence
the demand for construction in the
present emergency.

(b) Freight Rates
Freight rates on bulky construction
materials are a significant factor of
increased costs. Their present level
has not only discouraged shipping and
construction, but has in some locali-
ties practically killed the aggregate
market. Rate discrimination against
construction materials was made by
the Railway Administration during the
war. and on top of its purposely pro-
hibitory rates the last horizontal in-
crease was added. These rates have
placed the transportation cost of ma-
terials on an 18-foot concrete highway
as high as $11,000 per mile. In spe-
cific localities the rates are as much as
129 per cent above the 1917 charges.
They are unduly keeping up the cost
of construction and preventing its re-
vival.

(e> Financing Charges
In everj' section of the country own-
ers have declined to start new projects
on account of financing charges. Both
the interest rate and the premium paid
for floating loans are discouragingly
high. Premiums for floating loans,
varying between 10 and 20 per cent,
are charged in addition to 7 or 8 per
cent interest. F'or example, before the
flrst work of construction was begun,
the owners on a well-known Washing-
Ion apartment house were required to
pay for the $1,250,000 involved an in-
terest rate of 7 per cent, a bond pre-
mium of 1 Mi per cent and a floating
charge of 10 per cent, making the to-
tal financing charge ISVo per cent. Fi-
nancing charges on a subsequent loaii
of $250,000 for the same structure were
$75,000. This is a charge of 30 per
cent. It is doubtful whether the ar-
chitect, the contractor and the produc-
er.s in the basic industries made a
profit all combined equal to the financ-
ing charges. M'hen an owner must pay
such a sum before construction even
.starts, many projects are postponed or
abandoned. Before private work can
proceed as needed, some relief from
conditions must be secured,

.■>. Steps for Reviving Construction
Certain direct action which will open
up employment through construction
can be taken by the Oovernment, while
through regulatory action and example
it can both stimulate the demand for
construction and influence other agen-
cies to act. The following steps to
bring about activity in both private
and public works are suggested:

(a) Place under construction as soon
as possible all Federal public
work for which appropriations
are already made, at the same
time urging State, county, and
municipal bodies to do likewise.
In doing this the Federal au-
thorities should adhere to exist-
ing precedents for administering
public works, especially public
roads. The efficiency and ability
of the Bureau of Public Roads,
which have been thoroughly
demonstrated and have secured
the confidence and cooperation
of the states, must not be wasted
by vesting construction admin-
istration in some other agency.
Economical road building re-
quires the specialized engineer-
ing ability now centralized in the
Bureau of Public Roads.

(b) Enact any necessary appropria-
tions that are already contem-
plated. The McNary Bill provid-
ing for cooperation between Fed-
eral and State governments on

reclamation would give employ-
ment and by reclaimed land add
to the Federal treasury. '

(c) Establish some form of home
loan agency, possibly using the
postal savings funds, to furnish;
money at reasonable rates f<w
housing construction, making It
possible for the agency to coope-
rate financially with reliable
Ijuilding and loan associations.
Financiers will not turn from at-
tractive foreign loans to place
money in construction at lower,
rates of interest. ,»

(d) Adjust and freight rates on ma*
terials that are eliminating mar*
kets or causing unreasonable
charges on construction mate*
rials. 1

(ej Make payments of claims due thit!
railways and settle other exist-
ing claims so that these agencies I
can undertake immediate im-J
provement and new work. j

(f) Push investigations of unlawful-
or injurious combinations and
agreements in finance, buildingr
and materials production.

(g) Encourage private agencies by I
lax exemption, to start their I
projects in the near future; this'
plan advocated by Senator Cal-'
der proved successful in increas-'l
ing housing facilities in New
York, A!so advocate drawingV
contracts to give such ownersf
the benefit of price reduction. i|

(h) Place the Federal power coni-?l
mission in a state to functioffii
properly so that private powM|
prospects can be passed upon a^B
put under way. ^'

The factors here mentioned ar|j'
viewed from the standpoint of con.«l|
struction and obviously any action per
laining to them must be taken witl
due consideration for the entire eco
nomic situation. We know, for
.stance, that the railroads must b
lowed to rehabilitate themselves an
that to do so they must operate at
profit. But in the event that stimula. , ,
tinn of construction, either private ois^
public, is brought about by this Unem-
ployment Conference, such stimulation!
may be relied upon to aid effectivel»i
the present situation. jt

However, before artificial stimulw
lion is attempted, one vital contingent'
cy must be taken into account. ThW
is the effect of sudden expansion upon
construction material prices. Unless
constructors, materials producers and
labor are willing in this emergency tO
accept reasonable profit and reason-
able wages, any intensified construc-
tion program may end in disaster.
If the supply and demand for construc-
tion service, materials and labor are '
permitted to constitute the sole gov- -
ernor of prices, a situation analagous ■
to that of 1920 may reoccur. Since we
cannot and should not attempt to ar-.
hitrarily regulate prices, assurance of
reasonable prices must come from two
sources. There are, first, the far-
sightedness of industrial leaders who
know the ultimate benefit of steady
prices, wages and markets: and, sec-
ond, the force of public opinion. It is
with these considerations in mind that
stimulation of construction is recom-
mended.

Up to August 4th agreement has
l"en entered into between the various
provinces of Canada and the Domin-
ion government calling for the con-
struction of approximately 2.823 miles
OL improved highways under the Cana-
dian Highway Improvement, or "Fed-
eral Aid" Act. The cost of this mile-
■Age will be $19,151,000. The Dominion
aid already appropriated in connection
with this program amounts to $7,700,-
oOO. Projects for the improvement,
ultimately, of 17,951 miles of highways
have been approved. Manitoba's pro-
gram, which includes 4000 miles, is
the largest, while that of Prince Ed-
ward Island, which embraces 850 miles,
i.s the smallest. Ontario plans to spend
nearly four times the money expended
l.y Manitoba, but will build less than
half of her road mileage. The mileage
to be constructed in each province is as
follows: Prince Edward Island. S50
miles; Nova Scotia. 1297; New Bruns-
wick. 1595; Quebec. 1433; Ontario.

SEPTEMBER BUILDING OPERA-
TIONS

Los Angeles held third place among
the cities of the United States in build-
ing for September, 1921. New York
City's total for the month slumped off
seven millions from August and Chi-
cago held her own. Detroit and Cleve-
land with substantial gains in build-
ing operations for the month com-
pared with August were fourth and
fifth, respectively. San Francisco
jumped up to ninth place in the list,
Portland was fifteenth and Oakland
seventeenth. Seattle was the only
ofher Pacific Coast city in the million-
dollar class. Long Beach leads all
other Pacific Coast cities with a total
of $822,675 and Pa.saclena comes next
with $757,204. One hundred and nine-
ty-six cities reporting for September,
1921. show a total of 4S,274 permits
with an estimated valuation of $144.-
059.405 as compared with 35,455 per-
mits with an estimated valuation of
$94,169,337 issued during September,
1920. a gain of 52 per cent. There was
some recession in building activities
during September as compared with
August of this year, for which month
197 cities reported 51.525 permits with
an estimated valuation of $160,028,805.
This loss apparently reflects only the
usual seasonal slowing up of building
operations which is oven less marked
than in previous years. Agitation to
eliminate seasonal construction pe-
riods throughout the East and Middle
West has been carried on for some
time, but it is expecting too much lo
hope that Immediate widespread re-
sults will be reflected in building ac-
tivities. Deep-rooted customs are not
usually changed over night.

FIRE LOSS IN UNITED STATES

November 4 is the day set for hold-
ing a meeting of Associated General
Contractors in San Francisco to out-
line a program of greater cooperation
to the end that building may be stim-
ulated as one means of amelioration of
unemployment conditions. »-

This announcement is contained in
a communication to BUILDING & ENG.
NEWS from the Associated Gener-
al Contractors of America, "Washing-
ton. D. C. which states that the asso-
ciation has launched a national cam-
paign to start construction as outlined
by the unemployment conference re-
cently convened in that city.

In a letter addressed to W. O. Win-
ston, president of the association. Her-
bert Hoover, at the close of the present
session of the unemployment confer-
ence, declared construction to be the
key to the present situation. For. as
shown at the conference, every 200
men employed in actual construction
set to work from 500 to 700 men in
other basic industries, such as lumber,
cement, transportation, mining, manu-
facturing, etc. Mr. Hoover's letter
says in part:

"I am advised that you and several
members of your executive board are
about to make an extended trip in the
interest of the construction industry. I
express the hope that you will lay be-
fore the several communities you visit
the importance of getting under way
at once the construction program out-
lined, which is felt to be the key to the
present situation."

To start this program, meetings of
representative citizens and general
contractors have been arranged in the
principal cities. W. O. Winston of
Minneapolis, president; W._ A. Rogei-s
of Chicago, P. L. Cranford and D. A.

Garber of New York, together with G.
W. Buchholz, secretary, and B. J.
Harding, assistant secretary of the na-
tional organization, will address the
meetings in behalf of an aggressive
program, both national and local, to
star-t construction.

That this construction program can-
not be gotten under way without the
organized effort of community and
construction interests will be the mes-
sage carried by these leaders.

To start this work, central commit-
tees of general contractors in each of
the cities will be appointed as nuclei of
a permanent organization. The work
now being done by similar organiza-
tions affiliated with the association in
other cities will be outlined, as illus-
trative of what might be accomplished.

Under direction of General R. C.
Marshall, Jr., formerly chief of the
construction division of the War De-
partment and chairman of the con-
struction committee of the unemploy-
ment conference, this work has already
been organized in from 25 to 30 cities,
covering in some instances entire
states.

From headquarters in Washington,
General Marshall is already working
through national committees of gener-
al contractors on labor, materials,
methods. contracts. insurance and
bonds, transportation, codes, legisla-
tion, informatioiv and statistics to
brins about conditions which will
make possible the carrying out of the
construction program outlined by the
president's conference.

The organization of local conference
boards, representing architects, engi-
neers, contractors and labor, to handle
local jurisdictional disputes and other
local' construction problems is going
forward.

The fire loss in the United States
would pay the national debt, prior to
the World War. in four years.

The French people have said of us
Americans. "They are mighty build-
ers and mighty burners." and so we
are. not intentionally or criminally,
but negligently and carelessly.

Fires in the United States cost ap-
proximately $500 a minute.

The average loss in the United
States during the last 10 years in-
creased 68.59 per cent. The increase
in population was 20.67 per cent. Draw
your own conclusions.

Carelessness costs this Nation a
$450,000,000 fire waste every year.

The fire loss In the United Slates
would pay the cost of the Panama
Cannl in two years.

BUILD A HOME

The fire loss In the United States
for one year placed in pennies would
reach eleven times around the ■ arth
and then across the United States.

This Is a good time for the building
of homes In California, says the Oak-
land Tribune. The cost of construction
has dropped from the peak of 1919 to
■ bout what is was In 1916. A home may
be built today about as cheaply as five

years ago. There is a scarcity of
homes. There is a scarcity of employ-
ment for workers and it is a commu-
nity obligation to perform as large a
volume of work during the coming
winter months as possible.

Here. then, is three favors that make
the building of homes desirable. There
is a fourth. It is the fact that Invesc-
nient in a home Is the soundest and
safest investment in the world that
any man may make. There is no other
investment that on the whole gives so
much satisfaction, so much security
and so high a feeling of pride and self-
respect.

Eastbay home sites have alway.«
been reasonable In cost. Land was
the only thing that did not soar In
price during the war. It is to be had
at a reasonable cost today. It will
never be any cheaper In thl» section of
the State. Home-building Is the great-
est of industries.

The Observer

Archbishop Edward J. Hanna. C. F.
Michaels, of the firm of Langley &.
Michaels, and H. U. Brandenstein, at-
torney, have been named by the In-
dustrial Association as members of fhe
new wage board to adjust wages in
the building trades industry. The
board is now arranging to convene and
will soon issue a statement of the
hearings to be held ami the prjcedure
to be followed.

Lumber prices in Southern California
have increased ten per cent, a canvas
of Los Angeles lumber yards revealed,
according to dispatches from that city,
nealer.s say that other towns in that
part of the state have made similar
increases. Heavy demand because of
increased building operations was
given as the reason.

The proposed conference in Wasli-
ington on the Colorado River project,
originally set for October 27. has been
postponed on account of the threatened
railroad strike, according to word re-
ceived by William J. Locke. Secretary
of the California League of Muni-
cipalities. Locke said he believed the
conference would be held early in No-
vember at San Diego, instead of Wash-
ington.

Archer Wall Douglas, chairman of
the Committee of Statistics and Stand-
ards of the Chamber of Commerce of
the U. S. in his monthly review of the
business situation, declares "there is a
better demand for lumber at a some-
what high figure. The belief is general
that next S^jring will usher in renewed
construction activity."

Methods by which realtors can lend
great assistance to President Harding
and Secretary Hoover in their efforts to
stimulate employment are outlined in
a bulletin sent to 385 real estate boards
in the United States by I. R. Hiett,
president of the National Association
of I{eal Estate Boards. "Activity in
the building industry will provide em-
ployment for hundreds of thousands."
lie said. "Millions of dollars a day paid
in wages would be used to buy pro-
ducts of farm and factory and so bring
employment to men and women in
other tlleds. Persuade your local au-
thorities to establish a special com-
mittee on building activities."

The Valley Lumber Co. will erect a
new planing mill in Lodi. A site for
the mill has been purchased at Stock-
ton and Elm streets. J. W. Shattuck.
former manager of the Reliance Lum-
litr Company will be in charge.

As a measure to relieve the unem-
ployment situation, a resolution wa.s
presented to the municipal unemploy-
ment commission of St. Louis calling
upon Congress to enact legislation to
permit the manufacture of light wines
and beer in order that the breweries
might be re-opened, giving employ-
ment.

That lumber of the extent of ap-
proximately 250,000,000 feet is to be
milled during the next few years on
the Forest Hill Divide, sixteen miles
east of Colfax, Placer County, is the
announcement of B. C, Soule, who with
associates control large timber hold-
ings in that region. The timber is
mostly sugar pine, according to Soule.
II is stated that a mill with a capacity
of 100,000 feet per day is now being
installed and that about $150,000 will
be expended before operations com-
mence. Large sums have already been
paid out for preliminary work.

The Merced plant of the California
Pottery Company started operations
last week with four kilns, the first unit
of sixteen completed. A force of thirty
is employed at the start and this will
be increased with the expansion of the
plant, the building of which will con-
tinue.

Harry Barnes has been appointed
Chief Engineer for the Madera Irriga-
tion District,

The Pomona Chamber of Commerce
wants additional work done on the
conservation of water and flood con-
trol, to meet the needs of their city.
The chamber claims that ?272,400 was
promised in the original flood control
project, of which $93,144 only has been
expended. It asks for certain definite
work to be done, which they will cost
about $200,000.

A permanent supply of Southern
pine of between Ave and six billion
feet yearly will be available for the
United States, according to estimates
of the Southern Pine Association of
New Orleans, The report says that for
at least twenty years the bulk of this
production will be from virgin growth;
afterward second growth timber will
comprise a larger and larger propor-
tion of the output. The pine forests,
the association points out, include
260,000,000,000 feet of standing timber,
and stretch is an almost unbroken belt
from Virginia to Texas.

The Madera Sugar Pine Company is
going to give the city of Madera a
consideration when they build their
new mill. The new plant will cover
about a section of land and will be
what is known as a four-band-mill
saw mill, with a cutting capacity of
from 65,000.000 to 80,000,000 feet an-
nually.

Pacic Coast cities led those of all
other sections of the United States in
building construction activity during
September, according to figures com-
piled covering operations in 196
American cities. Los Angeles building
passed the $8,000,000 mark, setting a
new record. San Francisco building
totaled $2,100,163. Portland reported a
gain of 122 per cent over September,
1920, totals, while Seattle construction
recorded a gain of 50 per cent over the
September figures of last year. The
American Contractor of Chicago has
compiled a tabulation of national con-
struction during the month of Septem-
ber, which, considering the existing
depression in many lines of business,
is decidedly encouraging.

Receipts from the National Forests
for the last flscal year show a con-
siderable falling oft in comparison
with what was paid the government
for timber sales, grazing fees and
special uses during the precedmg
year, according to a report issued by
the Department of Agriculture.
Twenty-eight states received checks
totaling $619,993 from the United
States Treasury as their share of re-
ceipts from the forests during the last

year. An additional $247,997 of the
receipts* has become available for road
and trail construction by the Forest
Service of these states, making a total
of $857,990. California received the
largest share of the receipts: Amount
25 per cent item, $132,406; forest serv-
ice road and trail fund, $52,962; total,
$185,368.

Iron and steel industry in the vicinity
iron and steel industry in the vicinity
of Youngstown, Ohio, is experiencing
marked improvement. A resume of
the district Shows 85 out of 105 sheet
mills in operation; 13 blast furnaces
out of 47; 37 open hearth furnaces out
of 66. A summary shows steel pro-
duction 60 per cent capacity; sheets
and tin 75 per cent; tube mills 50 per
cent; wire and nail products 70 per
cent; other finishing mills 40 per cent.

Building trades mechanics are not
needed in Los Angeles, says the Build-
ing Trades Council of the southern
city in a letter to the local council. P.
H. McCarthy, president of the council,
has been asked to make that fact
known to all San Francisco building
trades artisans. Following the build-
las' trades controversy in San Fran-
cisco, several hundred local mechanics
went to Los Angeles. For a short while
all were kept busy, but now the Los
Angeles council says that budliing has
slowed up and there are over 30,000
workers, building trades and other
crafts out of work in the South,

Articles of incorporation of the S.
P. Brick and Tile Co. have been filed
with the County Clerk at Hanford by
G. Levin Aynesworth, attorney of
Fresno. The principal place of bus-
iness is Fresno. Capital stock, $250,-
000. Directors are; H. W, Shields,
Fresno; W. D. Trewhitt, Hanford, and
L. E. Hayes of Exeter.

Retail dealers are buying lumber to
fill short stocks and wholesalers are
buying to fill out the poorly balanced
contents of their yards, accordingr to
reports from Seattle, Wn. As a re-
sult, there has been an active selling
week, with new business In Western
Oregon and Western Washington 36
per cent above production.

The story that Charles M. Schwab is
closing a deal for the purchase of the
Los Angeles Shipbuilding and Drydock
Company at San Pedro, is carried by
the newspapers is pronounced without
foundation at the local offices of the
Bethlehem Shipbuilding Company. It
was asserted that J. J. Tynan, who is
in charge of the Bethlehem plants in
the Potrero and Oakland estuary,
would be in charge of the Los Ange-
les concern, the price of which was
put at $6,000,000.

Lee H. Newbert, manager of the
East Bay division of the Pacific Gas
and Electric Company, has resigned as
chairman of the advisory committee
of the California Electrical Co-ope-
rative Campaign and A. W. Childs. su-
perintendent of sales for the South-
ern California Edison Company, has
been named in his stead. Newbert
served the electrical fraternity for a
period of four years as chairman of
the committee.

Uisputt' over authorship of thi- 'l<-
velopment of the Hydraulic Fill dam.
which recently arose before the Ain-r-
Ican Society of Civil Engineers. Ins
been resolved in favor of J. M. Howells.
a San Francisco engineer, according tu
a statement Issued by W. rt. Wilhpltn.
chief engineer of the Kast Bay Water
Company.

Allen Hazen. of Boston, in a paper
read before the society, gave credit to
Messrs. Schuyler and Ho wells, wliile
George L. Dillman called this a "mis-
statement of fact," sayiiie ma' ttie
Chabot or San Leandro dam "was Ujilt
before they were ever heard of. and wai
largely hydraulicked. '

Mr. Wilhelra says that, in a paper
writer was resident engineer in ebaiee
read to the society, Mr. Howells took
no part in the |>ersonal question in-
volved, but confined himself to discus-
sion to technical details. In his state-
ment Mr. Wilhelm says:

"As the hydraulic process of dam
building has revolutionized earth dam
construction and become standard
throughout the world it is no more than
Justice that the unpublished defense of
Mr. Howells' connection with the mat-
ter should be known.

"P. E. Harroun. consulting engineer
of San Francisco, who nuoting authori-
ties and speaking from his own per-
sonal knowledge, shows that the San
Leandro dam was not built by the hy-
draulic method. Furthermore. the
writer believes that Mr. Howells is the
pioneer in hydraulic fill dam con.struc-
tion, having built three dams of this
type before Mr. Schuyler entered the
field. These dams were the Tyler Texas
dam in 1894, La Mesa dam in 1895, and
the Crane Valley dam in 1899-190n.

"Mr. Harroun says: "The first true
hydraulic fill dam known was, T be-
lieve, the dam at Tyler, Texas. This
dam was designed and built by J. M.
Howells, M. Am. Soo. C. E.. now con-
sulting engineer in San Francisco.
Prior to that time Mr. Howells. in 1892-
1893 had designed and was building an
earth dam 1,2.50 feet long and H5 feet
high at Santa Fe. New Mexico. The
writer was resident engineer in charge
of construction on the work at .Santa
Pe and during this time Mr. Howells
repeatedly discussed with the writer
the problems pertaining' to the hy-
draulic fill type and some experimental
work in sluicing and also in hydraulic
segregation of material was carried on.

"'I think there is no question what-
ever but that the dam at Tyler. Texas,
built by Mr. Howells in 1894 is the first
true hydraulic fill dam ever built.' "

ROAD BllLUEHS TO CONVE.VE AT

The Board of Directors of the Ameri-

announced that its next annual conven-

the central location of Chicago, the
directors of the association have ileeid-

make the coming convent ion even
greater than that of last yar. In
addition to the papem and di.'sc in.sions
on important higrhway prob! ms by

Financial Profiteering Checks Con^rudion;

Bankers' Obligation to Furnish Money

at a Fair Profit

(By John R. Wiggins, President, John
R. Wiggins, Inc.. Philadelphia. Pa.,
in Associated General Contractors of
America Bulletin.)

During the past year and a half re-
ductions in building malerails and
wages have brought about a resultant
substantial lowering of construction
costs. Labor has become much more
productive, giving In general a full
day's work for a full day's pay. Con-
tractors and materials manufacturers
have materially cut their profits. All
of this has resulted in bringing the
present cost of construction to a new
normal, which seems to be almost as
close to the old normal as we are like-
ly to arrive at, at least for a long
period of years.

PTFuent Prices Justify BulldlnB

Men high in Government office (Xa-
tional. State and Municipal), business
men. students of economics, and statis-
ticians throughout the country are
driving home gradually but surely to
the prospective investor in the field ot
construction that whatever slight fall
in prices may come about during the
next few years will not reimburse him
for losses sustained by failure to ob-
tain now the income from, or the use
of. the prospective building, so that
deterrent number one. as noted above,
is in a fair way ot being eliminated.

The second deterrent, however, name-
ly, difficulty in financing new con-
struction work, is without question the
most serious menace to the active re-
sumption ol construction activity.
Hieh Money Rates Stop Constmctlon

After men of undoubted good judg-
ment and sound business integrity de-
cide that they want to build new build-
ings, the greatest difficulty is experi-
enced in securing reasonable assist-
ance from financial interests at a non-
exorbitant rate. State laws in Penn-
sylvania prohibit an interest charge
of more than 6 per cent per annum,
but financiers, as is well known, cir-
cumvfn! this law by adding charges
for securing loans and for guarantee-
ing the payment of interest and prin-
cipal, and in other ways increase the
cost of financing construction to such
an extent that in one instance, ot
which 1 know personally, the cost ot
financing was 10 per cent. In other
cases of which I have directly heard,
the financing cost ranged from 12 per
cent to as high as 2ii per cent.

The National City Bank of New i'ork
City has recently issued a monograph
entitled "The Banker's Chief Obliga-
tion," extracts from which are given
below.

"The banker's first obligation is to
safeguard the funds in his custody and
keep himself in position to meet all
demands for their return. It Is not
enough that a loan shall be 'good,' it
must me collectible when due,

"It (the bank) is an agency for the
more etltcient use and handling of the
community's wealth, but not for mak-
ing wealth by any magical method,
such as the printing press affords, or
liy creating deposits through loans.

"It is a mistake to suppose that bank
funds may be loaned arbitraily or to
serve personal Interests or favorites,
at the will of bank managers."
Real Estate MortgaKe llelps Situatlun

The conditions (|Uoted above from
the publication of the National City
Bank are all met, and more than met,
by the mortgage on real estate. Cer-
tainly the mortgage takes its place as
a true leader in the field of sound in-
vestment; A mortgage is not only
sound and safe, but it represents
money loaned on real property, which
is the only permanent taxable wealth
the world knows.

ir building in Philadelphia and in
the country at large is to proceed in
the volume justified by present build-
ing conditions and vitally necessary
because of the unprecedented neeil,
money will have to be directed to thi.s
purpose by the bankers. Every citizen
can help to bring about the restoration
of construction activity upon which
the general prosperous condition o£ the
Nation is more dependent than upon
any other one industrial development.
He can help by the investment of his
own funds in new construction work
and by using his influence with his
associates and with the banks in order
to enlist their interest and aid.
Bankers Mnst Come to Rescue

It is the patriotic and civic duty ot
bankers to aid in the restoration ot
prosperity by making available, for all
high-grade building projects, adequate
funds at a fair rale of interest without
adding distressing conditions. Bank-
ers who insist on an exorbitant return
for their money are as much profiteers
as others who take advantage of war
conditions.

1 can see financiers smile at senti-
ment or patriotism in business and
hear their arguments i.iat they handle
the deposits of other people's money
for the benefit of the depositors and
have no right to be influenced by
either sentiment or patriotism in hand-
ling investments for their depositors.
Suppose, for the sake of argument, we
admit this. Will not the removal of
the excessive burden on borrowed
money bring prosperity and will not
prosperity give greater returns to the
depositors' money than the present
system of burdensome charges.

Constmctlon Industry Greatest

The construction industry of the
I nited States is the greatest industry
in the world. It employs more men
than any other industry, provides ap-
proximately 30 per cent of the total
railroad tonnage of the country, and
in normal times produces annually
from three billions to four billions ol
additional permanent taxable wealth.
Tins great industry, affecting, as It
does, all other lines of business and
ultimately affecting the lives of all
.■Viiierican citizens, has lain almos'
prostrate far too long. Every effort
made In the direction of making funds
available for its immediate resumption
on a large scale will con.stltute a vital
step on the path leading .America back
to industrial health and commercial
prosperity.

Creed & Bummer have opened up a
wholesale lumber business in Pitts-
burg, Contra Costa County. Offices of
the company are located in the First
National Bank Building, Pittsburg.

A reduction ot $7 a ton in the price
of standard rails is announced by the
United States Steel , Corporation. The
new price is $40. A statement by El-
bert H. Gary, chairman of the corpora-
tion, said: "Present costs of produc-
tion do not Justify this action, but it
is hoped and expected reductions in
freight rates and otherwise, together
with larger operations, -will soon have
a beneficial effect upon our costs."

Kozo Furukawa. chief electrical en-
gineer of the Japanese government
railways, is now in this country in-
specting electrical equipment in use hy
the railroads and union stations.

Representatives of Chambers of
Commerce of cities in Monterey. Santa
Cruz and San Luis Obispo counties at
a meeting in Del Monte urged the
state government to start work at
once on remaining units of the coast
highway from Monterey to San Luis
Obispo.

The lumber cut in the United States
in 1920 was 33,789,600,000 feet, the De-
partment of Agriculture announces.
This is 2.2 per cent less than in 1919.
and 27 per cent less than the peak in
1907. The average price of lumber at
the mill increased to $38.42 per thous-
and, which is a rise of 150 per cent
since 1910. The aggregate value of the
cut is $1,299,000,000, the highest an-
nual valuation ever recorded. The
States which increased their cut are all
in the Pacific Coast group and the
Itocky Mountains. Washington is first,
Oregon attains second place for the
first time, displacing Louisiana from a
position held for fifteen years; while
Calitornia takes rank among the first
five, displacing another southern yel-
low pine State.

An action filed by the Redwood Man-
ufacturers' company, attacking rates
on lumber charged by the Southern
Pacific and the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe from San Francisco bay and
Stockton points to points in southern
California, was dismissed by the State
Railroad Commission when agreements
were reached by contending parties.
The new rate from the central Cali-
fornia points to Los Angeles and San
Gabriel is 35 cents a hundred points,
a reduction of between eight and 11
cents. The new rate to Covina. San
Dimas and Pomona is 37 cents, a re-
duction of 10 cents, and to Ontario,
Riverside, Collon, San Bernardino and
Redlands, 38 cents, a reduction of nine
cents.

JOKES IN ARCHITECTl'RE

The builders of the old churches in
England were not so serious but that
they now and then perpetrated a joke,
even in ston^. On more than one ot
their creations they carved in relief a
scene representing a monk preaching
solemnly to a flock ot geese. The same
humerous spirit is sometimes to be

delected in the donnslir arrhilicturc
of early times. Here i.s an instance:

Just upon the boundaries of Bed-
forshire and Hertfordshire formerly
stood a rambling old farmhouse. The
living room was long and low, and
on the center beam that went across
the ceiling was inscribed this legend:
"If you are cold, go to Hertfordshire."

This seemingly inhospitable invita-
tion was explained by the fact thai one-
half ot the room was in one county and
one-half in the other. The fireplace
w.is in Hertfordshire.

SHORTAGE OF CARPENTERS
.SACR.\ME>TO — CONSTRUC-
TION ACTIA'B

Under stress of a very active build-
ing campaign, it is stated by Sacra-
mento contractors there is a dearth of
carpenters and a few other building
trades craftsmen, wtiich is causing
some apprehension among those who
;ire figuring on big jobs.

A. W, Norris, a contractor, stated he
had been informed by his foreman
there are not enough carpenters to

Van Arsdale-Harrls Lumber Co.

propiily handle llio volume nf their
work.

As for the man or Arm who wishes
to engage a carpenter for a small job.
then- are said to be none available,
nnles.« the party is willing to wait
until a mechanic is at liberty.

Commenting upon the building out-
look with a railroad strike among the
problem.'i to consider, Norris declared
Sacramento is best prepared of any
city on the Coast to proceed with her
buildinK in event a walkout does occur
and the rail lines are crippled.

"The lumber yards have millions of
feet of lumber." said Norris. "We have
iiur brick yards, sand, grarel, rock, and
all buililing materials in abundance.
Within a few hours we can go oui and
bring from San Fi«ncisco ana else-
where any material we should run
short of. !?acramento Is well fixed for
carrying on its building operations, re-
gardle.ss of a strike."

Xorris and some ot the other con-
tractor,'; state the first of the year un-
doubtedly will see the State and other
buildings started, and a big building
boom generally is being talked.

PORMIL.V FOR STRENGTH OF HOPE

How strong is a rope? At the Bu-
reau ot Standards laboratories in the
Department of Commerce tests have
been made that have resulted in an-
swering that question with a formula.

For three-strand regular lay manila
rope from ^4 to 4V4 inche.s in diameter
the following compulation will give
the breaking load of the rope:

The average breaking load in pounds
equals 5.000 multiplied by the diameter
of the rope in inches, multiplied by the
diameter ot the rope increased by one.

This will give, of course, the average
maximum weight that the rope will
hold, but the working load or the load
that a contractor or safe-hauler may
apply with proper safety and precau-
tion would be considerably less than
the load given by the formula.

Other data on rope are contained in
Technologic Paper of the Bureau of
Standards No. 198, by A. H. Slang and
L R. Striokenberg. which has just been
issu^il.

Gold was known to exist in Califor-
nia as far back as 1377, almost three
centuries before the actual discovery.

Building oo Increase;

Outlook for Building

Industry is Bright

Building construction in San Fran-
cisco is on the increase. Activities
during the month of October, just
closed, indicate that construction will
not enter the quiet season usually due
about this time of the year, partly be-
cause of inclement weather.

Architects report prospects are plen-
tiful and declare clients are anxious
to get their projects under construc-
tion for the new year. Contractors
are optimistic and are confident of a
big building season.

That the San Franaisco building
boom, long over-due, will not be real-
ized until about March of next year is
the general opinion of architects and
contractors. Until that time, it is
thought, construction will proceed at
a rather slow pace.

The recent announcement of the In-
dustrial Association regarding reduc-
tions in prices of materials will not
have any immediate effect on the
building situation, it is thought, con-
sidering the fact that the months of
November and December are not
"heavy building months."

OCTOBER OPERATIOXS

During the month of October the
city building department report.s the
issuance of 672 permits, having an ag-
gregate valuation of $2,4^8,523. The
totals of the past month fxceed those
of September by $398,360, when 681
permits were granted. The total val-
uation of the October operations are
the biggest this year, with the excep-
tion of March, when activities totaled
591 permits, representing an expendi-
ture of $2,941,401. The feature of the
October program is in the numlicr of
permits granted. Ricords of the build-
ing bureau show that during the
month more permits were Issued than
for any one month since March. 1918,

when 701 permits were issued, with a
valuation of $2,512,328.

COCNTY ENGINEERS TO WITNESS
SEVERE HIGHW'AY TESTS

In furtherance of its campaign for
adequate State highways and the pro-
motion of good roads, the California
State Automobile Association has ex-
tended invitations to the county engi-
neers of Northern California to be its
guests at the Pittsburg road tests No-
vember 9 and 10. In the.se tests 1.371.24
feet of concrete highway. 18 feet wide.
Is being destroyed by 40 heavy trucks
to permit of an exhaustive study of the
value of various types of concrete road
slabs on adobe soils and under heavy
tralfic. The invitations were sent out
yesterday by C. C. CottroU. manager of
the Good Roads Bureau of the associa-
tion.

The slabs being destroyed in the tests
include both plain and reinforced con-
crete and vary in thickness from five
to eight inches. The tests are attract-
ing national attention, and Federal.
State and county highway engineers
are making observations. The Automo-
bile Club of Southern California has
extended a similar invitation to the
county engineers of Southern Califor-
nia. The tests were inaugurated by
the Columbia Steel Company.

Observation tunnels have been con-
structed at four points under the cir-
cular track, where automatic recording
devices maintain a constant record of
pavement Hexure under truck loads,
movement of subgrade. etc. Consider-
able information on the comparative
value of various amounts of steel re-
inforcement, as compared with plain
concrete slabs, may prove to be one of
the results of this test, and a very in-
teresting comparison is expected to be
made between the present State high-
way standard concrete pavement and
those of heavier design.

S. F. LVMBini BUSINESS IS CAUSE
FOR COMMENT

The lumber industry in San Fran-
cisco is in a thriving condition, ac-
cording to reports from this city pub-
lished in the current dealers' edition
of "Lumber," a trade weekly published
at St. Louis, Mo.

The publication states: "San Fran-
cisco yards are all enjoying an im-
proved business, building being at
fever heat, following the tie-up of
several months. Not only are new
business buildings being rushed, but
homes are springing up in all sec-
tions."

The lumber organ also declares that
reports from the valley districts of
Central California are that business
is greatly improved, the farmers and
growers beginning to realize on this
year's crops. Buying is greatly im-
proved and prospects are for a lively
Winter and Spring season.

MORE ARHAMENTt LESS HOHB

^Seattle Journal of Commerce.)

The San Francisco Chamber of Com-
merce goes on record as unalterably
opposed to a policy looking to contin-
uation of a large armament. It urges
business men everywhere to strength-
en the arm of the President in his ef-
forts to suppress international rivalry
in armament building.

In addition, the San Francisco cham-
ber attributes the decline of our for-
eign trade and reduced domestic con-
sumption of manufactures to excessive
taxation.

It places hope of a substantial and
world-wide recovery upon the success
of the armaments' conference and
urges the administration to use every
etrort to bring about a drastic reduc-
tion of naval and military expenditure,
so that all countries and all classes
may be relieved of a staggering bur-
den which threatens some with insol-
vency and confiscation and all with
trade stagnation and unemployment."

The San Francisco chamber arrives
at the crux of our difficulties when it
says that in this country the heavy
taxation for unproductive purposes
has begun to restrict consumption.

That this excessive burden of tax-
ation is weighing down equally up-
on all industry and all business is
practically without exception. Our
federal surtaxes surpass, in the extent
to which the rate rises, those of any

In sounding the warning of ap-
proaching danger the southern cham-
ber points accusingly nt a fundamental

Industrial Association Announces Price Cuts for Materials;
"Frozen" Projects Will Now Go Ahead

The Industrial Association of hSan
Francisco for several weeks past lias
been studying the building: materials
situation in an effort to bring prices
down, and has held several conferenncs
with various groups of builiiing ma-
terial manufacturers. The association
la pleased to announce at this tinu- r<j -
duotlons in the prices of lime, face
biick. hollow tile, lire brick, common
brick, rooting tile, sewer pipe, flue lin-
ings and chimney linings.

■The public has for some time felt
that the prices of building materials
were inordinately high and that sub-
stantial reductions should be made.
The Industrial Association, seeking to
represent the public point of view, has
pointed out to the manufacturers that.
with public feeling in the matter as it
existed, a healthy resumption of build-
ing conditions could not be looked for.
It has strongly urged reduction in
prices, even to the extent of temporary
loss, upon the belief that a reduction
.at Uiia time would result in the letting
of contracts totaling millions of dol-
lars now frozen up in architects' offices
because investors ami prospective
builders were convinced that material
prices were excessive and due to fall.

The letting of this work would ^ive
employment to thousands of additional
workmen, would result in heavily in-
creased sales of building materials.
would relieve the acute shortage ot
homes, office buildings, apartments, etc..
and would act generally as a spur to
all lines of business.

The association has sought to con-
vince the manufacturers that their
overhead is tar too high because plants
are running at mucli below capacity,
and that the increased demand inevit-
ably following a reduction of prices
would absorb overhead expense more
than sulflciently to offset the cut in
price.

Following are the reductions in cer-
tain building materials, all prices being
F. O. B. San Francisco, unless otherwise
noted:

lime: — The price of lime is cut GOc
per barrel of 180 pounds, effective as of
October 1. The former price was
$2.75 per barrel, and the present price
is 12.15 per barrel, less 5';i. 10 day's net.
The price of lime on January 1. 1914,
was $1.50 per barrel of 200 pounds. The
peak price of lime came in 1920 and
was $2.75 per barrel of ISO pounds, an
increase of 83%. Taking Into consid-
eration the reduced weight per bar-
rel (this reduction of weight was made
by the Federal Government to stabil-
ize Hme weights), the present prices
are only 55% above 1914.

FACE BRICK — A reduction of $5.00
per thousand has been made in the
price of both classes of face brick, ef-
fective as of October 1. This follows a
similar reduction of $5.00 per thousand
made five months ago. The new price
of 2%-inch face brick is $50.00 per
thousand. Charts prepared by the as-
sociation show that on January 1. 1914.
the 2%-inch brick sold for $34.00 per
thousand. The peak price came in Sep-
tember, 1920, and was $60.00 per thou-
sand, an increase of 76. 5%. The present
price is only 47% above the 1914 price.
Tt was the consensus of opinion among
the brick manufacturers that face brick
had reached the lowest point possible
until labor, fuel, electricity and freight
were reduced.

HOLLOIl' TILE — Four-inch hollow
tile is now offered at $108 per thousand,
a reduction of $59.50. and 6-inch tile
at $156.00 per thousand, a reduction of
$69.00. The association's charts show
that 4-inch tile reached a peak of 139%
increase over 1914, and that the present
price is only 54% over 1914. Manufac-
turers state that allowance should be
made for the fact that, according to
size, tile is now from two to eight
pounds heavier per tile than in 1914.

FIRE BRICK — A reduction of $5.00
per thousand, effective as of Octo))er 1.
The 1914 price was $40.00 per thousand,
the 1920 peak was $65.75. an increase
of 64.5%. and the present price is
$55.75. which is 39.4% above 1914.

ROOFING -TILE — Type used chief-
ly in Ean Francisco buildings sold for
$14.00 per square, F. O. B. plant, in
1914. The peak price in 1920 was $25.00
per square. The price now has been
reduced to $21.00 per souare. which
leaves the price at 50% over 1914.

SE-W-ER PIPE, FLUE LININGS AND
CHIMXEY LIMXG.S — A reduction of
5%, effective October 1. Twelve-inch
sewer pipe was $0,364 per foot in 1914
and rose to $0,756 in 1920. an increase
of 108%. The present price is $0,617,
which is 69% above 1914. Comparisons
on the other two items are not avail-
able at this time.

COMMON BRICK — A reduction of
$1.00 per thousand, effective as of Oc-
tober 1. The present price of brick
is $15.30 per thousand, and the reduc-
tion of October is the second put into
effect by the brick manufacturers. The
l)resent price compares with the price
of $7.50 per thousand in 1914. which
rose to the peak of $18.00 in 1920. The
present price is approximately 106%
more than the price in 1914 and repre-
sents a drop of 14% from the peak price,
which was 140% over 1914.

LUMBER — The association's analysis
of lumber prices shows that on random
cargo lots of merchantable fir the pres-
ent price is approximately 53% more
than the price in 1914. with ihe retail
price approximately 41% more than 1914
figures. This class of lumber repre-
sents ordinarily from 80% to 85% of the
soft wood lumber that is shipped Into

San Francisco. Prices on other classes
of lumber are fluctuating so rapidly It
is difficult to give any comparative fig-
ures.

The association has not examined the
prices of many commodities which en-
ter into the cost of building, but which
are largely manufactured in the Ea.st,
and which arc not competitive in the
local market. Some ot these items
whicli are of considerable importance
are cast-Iron pipe, structural steel, re-
inforcing steel and similar metallic
products. In practically all of these
commodities quoted prices in San Fran-
cisco consist of the base price at the
point of manufacture plus the freight.

Conferences have now been held with
all iiuilding material interests that have
any control over local prices, and it Is
asserted b.v the manufacturers that no
reductions other than those announced
aliove are possible.

In considering these reduction, and
especially ■ the percentage compari.sons
with 1914. the public should bear in
mind that the figures ot the United
.States Bureau of Labor Statistics show
all commodities to be now 48% above
i;m4. Of the basic commodities covered
by tiie statistics of the Tnited States
Dci)artment of Labor • many are far
above the general average of the 48%
increase, therefore the prices of build-
ing materials can only be expected to
approach Ibis new low level of prices
e.-itabiished as a result of post-war con-
ditions.

It is also fair to add that in the
manufacture of building materials the
four big cost items consist of oil. labor,
freight and power. In some building
commodities, oil. which is the prevail-
ing fuel, comprises from 20% to as high
as 35% of the cost of the commodity.
Oil. labor, freight and power range
from 50% to 150% higher than in 1114.

Hoover's Building Envoys
Heard Here

On a mission inspired by Secretary
of Commerce Herbert Hoover, who was
referred to as "the greatest construct-
ive mind of any man in the country,"
W. O. Winston of Minneapolis and F.
L. Cranford and D. A. Garber of New
York, nationally known contractors,
urged the San Francisco building in-
dustry on the importance of speeding
up construction work, the key to the
unemployment situation.

The visitors were the guests of the
Contractors' Association of Northern
California and the General Contractors'
Association of San Francisco at a din-
ner in the Palace Hotel. Charles W.
Gompertz of the General Contractors'
A.ssociation. presided.

Cranford said that some avenues
to finance the huge war debt must be
found.

"Our railroad terminals are in need
of improvement," he said, "while hydro-
electric development and irrigation and
reclamation projects are other issues
which are going to give you the eco-
nomic facilities necessary to carry the
burden of the war. Compared with the
East, you in California have minor
problems."

Throughout the speaking the need
of a national association of general
contractors to protect their Interests
was pressed. Winston devoted his re-
marks to an outline of what the Asso-
ciated General Contractors of America,
of which he is president, has accom-
pll.shi-fl in its brief career.

October Building in Los Angeles
Totals $9,781,394

Breaking rccord.s n:is rome lo be a
regular feature of building in Los An-
geles. For the fourth time during the

current year a new high monthly mark
has been set. October rolled up 4489
permits with an estimated valuation
of $9,781,394. This is the first time
the number of building permits issued
in a single month has passed 4000. The
total valuation for October exceeded
that for the previous high record
month, September, 1921, by $1,477,729
and is 50 per cent greater than the val-
uation for October, 1920. The extra-
ordinary feature of the building total
for October, 1921. is that only about
$900,000 was represented by Class A
and Class C structures divided among
49 permits. Ordinary building opera-
tions predominated as they have done
for a considerable period.

A total of at least $75,000,000 for the
entire year is forecast. During the
first ten months of 1921. 29.600 permits
with a valuation of $64,906,760 have
been issued. The valuation is $14,954,-
65S in excess of that for the corre-
sponding period in 1920. November
and December may roll up big totals,
but it is doubtful if either will reach
the October mark, unless permits for
some very large building projects are
issued. Just now a considerable num-
ber of large building operations are
looming up and some of these will be
started verj' soon.

October, 1921, was a banner month
also for housing operations. Permits
issued for apartment houses, flat build-
ings and dwellings, totaled 2041 with
an estimated valuation of $6,565,463.
These buildings will provide accommo-
dations for 2657 families. They repre-
sent 45.5 per cent of the total number
of building permits and 67.2 per cent
of the total valuation for the month.
Continued rapid growth of the city is
attested by the fact that with the ex-
traordinary housing activities of the
last two years the city has not yet
caught up with the demand. — South-

TIIUCK HIGHW.4^Y D.\-M.*GE IS
AWAKENL-VG PEOPLE

Discussing the problem of the motor
truck and the upkeep of highways as
well as truck and rail competition, (he
Portland Telegram in a recent issue
says in part:

"This competition is complained of as
unfair to the railroads because the mo-
tor trucks run on roads built and
maintained by tax levy upon the public,
while railway roadbeds and rails must
be built and maintained by the roads
themselves. To equalize this to some
extent a heavier tax on trucks is pro-
posed.

"Figures showing what part of the
highway expenditures are paid by taxes
on trucks are not available for all
States, but the proportion as shown is
generally small, not usually exceeding
one-tenth and running as low as half
that figure. And yet It is the motor
truck, more than all other vehicles
combined, which destroys paved road
values.

"A heavy truck running at high speed
will spoil more pavement In one trip
than all the pleasure cars of the entire
month. For this reason trucks should
pay a heavier tax than any other
vehicle. Some Eastern States are con-
templating taxing unreasonably heavy
trucks otT the highways with a tax ot
$100 per ton for every truck of five tons
or more.

".No tax. jor tine Ishouid be levied pn
motor trnclW with a view lo protecting
the railroads froin their competitors.
liui building highways on auto taxes
may eifullably be done, .ind it is being
successfully done in many of the States.
Minnesota ha-s authorized the expendi-
ture of $100,000,000 on it.s system of
State mads, the entire amount to ,be
paid by taxes on motor driven vehicles.
These roads will be built with concrete
bases lo withstand truck traffic, and
doubtless trucks will b^ compelled to
pay taxes In proportion to their de-
struction of the roadbed."

Organization of the lumber interests
in ("alifornia has been permanently ef-
fected for thij purpose of developing
and improving trade conditions, with
the ultimate purpose of reducing the
cost of lumber to the consumer, and
stimulating home building and general
ihijirovements.

The new organization Is called the
California Lumbermen's Association,
anil at Its second meeting October 2i
in the Merchants' Exchange building,
San Francisco, definite plans for the
future were projected.

poniicd secretary and treasurer find
instructed to open offlces In the whole-
sale district of San Francisco and get
undcfr way as soon as possible a mem-
Ijership drive.

'I'hc organization plans to include
in Its membership the wholesaler, re-
tail.r and the manufacturer. It is
pointed out that with these important
braiK'lies of the lumber industry work-
ing as a unit, special and definite ser-
vices can be supplied to the individual
lumlier merchant and that better and
more efficient business methods can be
installed. All ot these, the lumbermen
believe, will work toward a more eco-

* The Engineer's Part in Bond Eledion Campaigns

By K. E. MCDONNELL, of B»™ and Mononnrll Knelne^rlnK Co, K«»... CI tr. Mo.

t Paper presented Oct. 14 before
the Thirteenth Annual Meeting "t
the league of Kansas Municipali-
ties.)

As a basis for bond elections, muni-
cipal officials usually adopt the method
of employing- a consulting engineer
who makes his preliminary plans, esti-
mates of cost, and report on the proj-
ect The carrying of the bonds is then
usually left to the city officials, who
with the aid of civic organizations, en-
deavor to interest the voters in sup-
port of the project. The failure to
carrj- many worthy projects has caused
the writer to adopt modern methods
which, upon trial, have proven so suc-
cessful that it is believed they could
with profit be adopted by any city hav-
ing a bond election under considera-
tion.

Bond elections in growing communi-
ties are necessary, once in about every
three years, and in one state last year
over one hundred bond elections were
held. It is a waste of time, money and
energy to place any bond issue before
the public without fully informing the
voters of every phase of the project.
such as feasibility, first cost, and cost
of producing the commodity, whether
It be water, electricity, gas, heat, or
ice Operating costs, fixed charges,
revenues, and rates to he paid often
decide the fate of bond issues.
Carrrlne on Bond Elections an Enel-
neeringr Problem
After twenty-five years' engineering
experience in solving municipal prob-
lems, the writer is convinced that the
carrying of bond elections is an engi-
neering problem and should be handled
by the engineer as a part of his du-
ties, rather than that the burden be
shifted to city officials, whose office is
political and where supporters of the
administration must be appealed to.
Many partisan voters, or "outs," de-
cline to enthuse on a bond project be-
cause it is advocated by the "ins " An
engineer is employed to handle the
work because of his special engineer-
ing training and skill, and. having no
• political ambition, his advice, sugges-
tions and recommendations "listen
good" to a great majority of citizens
who find politics and good municipal
utilities don't mix. Votes for bonds
are no longer secured by appeals of
oratory to "Support the administra-
tion." "Have confidence in them, they
will spend it honestly." "Show pride in
your city," "Our old run-down utilities
are a heritage of the last administra-
tion." and similar phrases, but now-
adays the voters question and analyze
the operating and maintenance cost.
the upkeep, life of material, etc.. and
must be shown wherein they are going
to be benefited. This critical and proper
analysis by the voters, whether men or
women, requires a different campaign
and It must be one of education along
the engineering problems involved. To
prepare a tine set of plans, or a beau-
tifully bound report, no longer satis-
fies. The Job. or bond issue, must he
sold to the iiuhllc and the buyer, or
voter, wants facts, figures and absolute
proof that the Inve.iiment Is a proflt-
I able one for himself and his home town.

I How a Compalira Wa« Condacled

, A successful bond campaign for a
1 half million dollars for rehabilitating
' the municipal water works plant at
Parsons. Kansas, has recently t.e.-n con-
ducted by our engineering organiza-
tion and the methods used are outlined

as an example of what other cities
might accomplish by adopting similar
methods.

Preliminary plans, maps, estimates
and summaries of the report were pre-
pared on a large scale for use in win-
dow displays. About 75 stereopticon
slides were made and used at mass
meetings and before civic organizations.
Municipal band concerts were held out-
doors and following the concerts all
features of the project were explained
— cost estimates, operating expenses,
depreciation allowance, bond sinking
fund, revenues and rates, with net in-
come, were shown through graphical
diagrams. All engineering features
were so clearly explained that a promi-
nent attorney, commenting on the
project, said; "The engineering is
shorn of its technical features and we
are now all engineers and see the
soundness of, the whole project."
Bngineeni Prepare Pnbllelty Matter

"The Parsons Sun" expressed a will-
ingness to publish a series of water
works articles, which were prepared
by the engineers. These articles were
run daily, many of them being illus-
trated by views showing both the pres-
ent conditions of the water works sys-
tem and the proposed improvements.
Over fifty of these articles were pre-
pared and used. They were written,
not as a technical journal would use
them, but as newsy, interesting items.
To test their power to interest readers,
an interruption was intentionally made
which caused many 'phone calls of In-
quiry and request for the articles to
continue. Some knowledge of the fifty
articles may be gained by quoting some
of the titles: "Why the Women of
Parsons Want Pure. Soft. Water.
"How Good Health Can Be Purchased. '
"What Happens When a Water Fam-
ine Occurs." "The Cost of a Typhoid
Epidemic. " A feature of the improve-
ments was a modern water purification
sytem to displace a very inadequate
and antiquated system. Comparative
figures were given showing the saving
in cost of operating a modern plant,
thus showing the voters that they were
daily losing money by operating an
inethcient plant, besides giving the city
an unsafe water to drink. Former bad
fires were illustrated, with tables of
annual fire losses, showing the fire loss
per capita far above that of other
cities. Insurance rates were shown
to be exorbitant because of the pres-
ent inadequate protection. Fire losses
due entirely to poor pressure were
shown to exceed the total bond issue
asked. A portion of the improvements
consisted of replacing a large amount
of small steel and wrought iron pipe,
also replacing a (low line of spiral
riveted steel and vitrified pipe. The
les^kage figures were given, show^ing a
loss of over half the water pumped.
Exhibits of this worn-out pipe were
placed at prominent street corners,
with placards giving age. when re-
moved, etc. The per capita cost of the
Parsons proposed improvements was
shown to be less than that of about 2»
cities similarly situated.

The generation of electricity for
operating low service pumps over a
10-mlle transmission lien to the River
Station and also low service pumps at
the City Station, lighting the grounds,
stations, etc.. was a part of the Im-
provements strongly opposed by a pri-
vate company, wanting to .sell elec-
tricity to the city. This feature In-
volved a fiKht for municipal ownership.

with all Us advantages, to be shown by
the engineers. The salesmen with
something to sell In the way of ma-
chinery, equipment, pipe, oil engines,
steam engines, etc.. were very active,
making it necessary for the engineers
to make an unbiased report on each.
and thus forestalling opposition to the
bonds.

Tbe SprafclDK rampiU«i>
The publicity campaign through the
papers and by personal presentation of
the plans before civic organizations
continued for four weeks, with an in-
tensive speaking campaign tor one
week, when 21 meetings were ad-
dressed, in explaining the engineering,
economic and health features of the
project. Noon meetings were ad-
dressed when factory, shop and office
employes were reached. Slides were
daily distributed to all the picture
shows, showing some special features
of the improvements. Locaf speakers
were organized and ten-minute talks
at all picture shows were made during
the closing week. Church announce-
ments were made, calling attention to
the necessity of good citizens voting
either for or against, but leaving tlfem
to form their own conclusions.

The women voters, through the Par-
sons Federated Women's Clubs, spon-
sored the final mass meeting, bringing
before the women voters the import-
ance of the water supply from the
standpoint of health, hygiene, sanita-
tion, beautiful lawns, clean streets,
swimming pools, school and street
drinking fountains, etc.

\ arious business men co-operated
and jointly carried full-pape adver-
tisements recalling former water fam-
ines, bad fires, and showing what the
new improvements could offer in the
way of securing new industries in
Parsons.

Home owners were clearly shown by
figures that not a dollar of ta.ves would
be added, but that the revenue would
make the plant self-supporting.

The engineers conducting the cam-
paign had the support and active aid
of the Mayor, but no aid or co-opera-
tion from one of the Commissioners,
and the active opposition of the other
Commissioner, until two days previous
to the election, when his conversion
occurred and the three united in a
printed statement favoring the bonds.
Other early opposition gradually melt-
ed away as the project became under-
stood and those who had opposed came
out in print favoring the bond issue.
In their articles and talks the engi-
neers refrained from directly urging
the voters to support the bonds. i>ut
took the position of a dlsi"njerestert
consulting physician to a sick utility,
and presented their prescription for
the patient in the form of plans, estl-
niate.s and report, and all features of
these were clearly explained, leaving
the voters to form their own conclu-
sions whether they wanted to' vote for
or against the bond issue.

The prescription offered was taken.
the brands were carried, and the half
million dollar Improvement Is now be-
ing earned out under the guidance ot
the ingineers. with the expectation
that the sick utility will soon be re-
stored to health.

Th. -nglneers have found from ex-
lieiKKLC that the same character of
bond '-ampalgn Is applicable toward
any municipal problem. It has recent-
