Notwithstanding the re markable Inorease in the use of ce ment and other fire proof materials, the lat reports of the building opera tions in 49 of the leading cl'ies of the United States for the year, collected by the Geological Survey, show that 09 per cent were wooden construction. Even if the remaining 41 per cent of the building were built of brick, stone and concrete, vat .quantities of wood are contomad both iu the con tructioo and in the finish, though in the latter form, metal is taking the plaoe of wood to a very large extent. Ill amount of lumber given above does not take into consideration this item at all.
