principal materials used in building
operations. 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.

does not take into consideration this
item at all.
While this percentage is repreienta
