A similar case incurred in Toledo, Ohio.  Both ol tbeee pro

In considering llu- costs ol

the initial cosl should nol lithe only criterion. There an |
certain lixed charges which i-n

h summarized as follows In
surance, maintenance, depreciation, amount of light available,
liccdom from vibration, dimm

ance that a lire cannot destroy

put an exact monetary value

consideration bo given to tin
saving which can bc obtained on

it will gnerally be found that
even though the concrete structure cost complete io per cent.

A NEW MACHINE FOR
PRESSED BRICK
A brickmaking machine,
winch, it is expected, wilj revo-
lutioiii/.e tbe iuauul.iltuie ol
pnaaad brick, has been invented
by Charles Pratt, a contra, im
and practical brick mason ol
Dresden, Tenn. The feature of
novelty is said to be found in
the lact that it makes hard-
pressed brick from dry dill
without lhe use ol water in
mixing. Thc dirt, which is led
into the machine without treat
meiit or the addition of sand is
ground lo a dust and conveyed
lo the molds, where the brnk
ire lormed by hydraulic pressure. The brick are, than taken
liom the machine to thc kiln
and the result is said to Ik- a
brick which is not absorbent after lieing placed m the wall.

An Imperial proclamation,
Mgmd by Lord Crewe, secretary
ol the Colonies, is published announcing that His Majesty Kin-j
Hihiard has decided to gram
medals to ollicers of police forces and tire brigades lor acts of
worth in connection with th*.v*
two institutions. Following is
a list of the reqiiiri'Uielits lo
be tilled whereby the medals can
lie secured ;
(a) Conspicuous gallantry in
saving lile and property,  or  iu
preventing crime or aneauag
criminals; the risks incurred to
be estimated with due regard to
thc obligations and duties of
lhc olhcer concerned.
(b) A specially distinguished
record in administrative or detective service.
(c) Success in organising police forces or fire brigades or departments, or in maintaining
their organisation under special
dilliculties.
(d) Special services in dealing with serious or widespread
outbreaks of crime or public
disorder, or ol fixe.
le) Valuable political or se-
irei services.
tf) Special services to Royalty and heads of states
igi Prolonged service; bui
only when distinguished by very
exceptional ability and merit.
|. It will be "observed that
the number of medals to bc
awarded lor service in His Majesty's Dominions beyond the
si as is nol to exceed thirty in
any one year.
5. There will be as annual
award of this medal and any
recommendations which your
ministers may wish to make
should reach headquarters by
the 10th ol September in each
year.
6. It is essential that every
recommendation should specify
the particular act oi gallantry
or special service, or record of
service, in respect of which the
candidate is recommended. Sullicient details should be given
to enable a judgment of the case
to be formed in comparison
with others and it should be
borne in mind that mere long
service in itself gives no claim
to the medal.
