Clarke & Co. In describing a concrete residence that Is being built in one of Philadel phia's suburbs, a wrlier In Cement Age takes occasion to call attention to some methods that aie being employed by the builder, who Is also the owner of the house. The construction, of the library celling would ordinarily haw required the most complex and costly form work but In the case of this house it was a cheap and simple pro cess. With the position and forms for the columns established, a rude plat form was erected, the lumber compris ing any convenient waste material, such as old rails, posts and boards Ov?r these were placed garden weeds, grass or hay. and upon the latter a layer of earth for the workmen to walk upon. The spring of the arch was de termined by bending a long pliable strip of wood from column to column. Underneath and about these Rtrips. which defined the position and curve "f the groins. wer placed empty boxes and other waste material light in weight but taking up space. On top of this col lection was placed another layer of farth spaded to arch form, and upon this a layer of sand nicely graced. The tiles with which the celling was to he decorated were laid along iIif groin guides, upside down, and over the entire mass was placed reinforcing of wire mesh and pipes, and then the wnt concrete wan poured over the whole. When the concrete had become hard the tiupports were knocked away and the mass serving as forms fell to the floor, leaving the concrete arches and tile encrusted groining a monolithic and thoroughly bonded mass. In this way pleasing textures and freedom of lb,? were obtained, and the construction ac complished at minimum cost and wilh great saving In lime. i 66 lay State Mit FISHER, THORSEN & CO.
