With the very praiseworthy desire to | reduce the cost of small dwellings so | that a degree of comfort and cleanlir nees can be secured by the householder of extremely limited mean., a few men I in this country are trying to perfect a co ncrete bouse which can be cast in one operation inside a set of molds to be used over end over again. Mr. Thomas A. Edison 'a catholic mind some four years ago saw the pesaibili ties in this one piece house, and his \ admirable publicity departm-nt since • then has not allowed the idea to be J confined to his laboratories, where; , . testa have been conduted wMh ever , premised, but hardly realized success, j In consequence the reading public, j influenced no doubt -by Mr. Edison's j successes in other fields, is quite ready j to believe Islmostjsnything about the j economies, beantios and durability of j the molded building. f »L_ I ■ '

For the engineers and architects engaged in studying this question we have no criticism, although we think that the difficulties of the problem they have atUcked will engage their attention for a somewhat longer period than they now anticipate ; but we do wiah to .depreciate the raah manner in which the lay press ia exploiting the matter and bestowing lavish praise upon a proposition which is not yet be- ' yond the experimental stage. Hereio1 fore prominence has been ifiven entirely to the Edison patent, hot in f the October 2 number of The Survey. ! a New York weekly devoted to socio!- ' ogical and philanthropic progress, 1 there "ia a very laudatory article ' ; describing a house quite similer to that 1 1 of Mr. Edison's, particularly in the 1 fact that, by virtue of tne great number to be molded from one set of ' forma, the cost will be reduced to 1 about 31200 for a house costing under ' present methods two or rhree times 1 tjiat amount. » The dwelling shown in The Survey ® is quite worthy of praise from the sanitarian's standpoint. It is light 1 and airy, easily cleaned and, for the * oee for which it ia intended, reason-

> abley good looking. But the prime adin vantage claimed for it ia its cheapness, -r since it will be admitted tha. for s sufficient sum, fairly reasonable as 11 present costs go, bouses can be, and in fact are being, constructed equally as • serviceable as the molded bouse. This 8 cheapness is brought about mainly by • two items, the reduotion in cost in " forms due to their repeated use and the reduction in labor, due to the rapid 8 pouring of the walla and floors, to say nothing of fixtures, as a unit , b Neither of these has been tried | h outside of a laboratory, and never on j a large scale. Even granting that the main atrdctural elements of a bouse ' can be poured from a few openings in ' one operation— ana that is something few engineers with experience in con- * 1 crete construction will conceae — there ' is ever}' reason now to believe that it 1 will be practically impossible to con- 1 struct forms which can be placed and * removed at small labor and expense and which, at the same time, can * stand the hardships of urage long fl enough to reduce the first cost per 81 house to the desired minimum I ti If (his can be done at all, it is some- ^ thing which must come a^ a gradual C development through actual construetion and not as the result of theory R Plus laboratory experiment We are N far from denying that there are poBai- of in cheap concrete dwelling construction in the hands of men whe P® understand the business and who know tw best roads by which to move for- wi ward. What we would emphasize is sh possibilities are not yet actuali- at and that success is more likclv ties,

ler to be attained by simple methods than by any complicated and revolutionary _• process. — From The Engineering News. New York. !

A fr fr President Freiinghuyten. of the senate called together his Committee on Tueedap, for the purpose of commencing the investigation into the educational system of the state, and while nothing was done but some talk about the method of procedure it is a fact that this committee means to at go deep into the educational sysof the state with the end in view of discovering the wisdom of the laws on the statute books, and tbe^need of others or rep.al of some already existing. The committee ia composed of Sena- ' Frelingbuyeen,|SomerBet; Bradley, ' and Silzer. Middlesex. No ' of this committee waa announced, ! U1 "us committee

Complaints against i ibis official cornea as often from people j , who have managed In one way and , another to hold down the valuation of , their properties beiow an equitable figure as compared with similar, prop- t ertiea, as from those whose valuations 0 be excessive. The valuations in b all sections of Oape May County are d gradually equalized, not only with reference to individual properties b in each municipality but with refer- a to municipalities as compared with each other, and conscientious 5, work on the part of the County Board b of Taxation has contributed largely to ' end. re The raise in tarpp nmpfinnpoH taxes experienced

throughout Oape May County has not been entirely due to local causes. The county has been adding largely to the mileage of new and modern roads and this has caused an increase of about 10 cents on the 3100 for fcounty purposes. The collection of State School Tax is distributed on the basis of the valuations and the increase in valuation of the county has increased the amount of State School Tax required. In these two items the increase of rate is d about 16 centa on the 3100 this year [r If the rates on these items had remained the same as last year, the total rate in Cape May City would have 1 I. been 3a. -$.16 or $1.84 or practically i a the same as last year. City expen- i r dituree, therefore, have caused no < . increase in the rate. This is not the i . case in most of the resorts, where local < . expenditures as well as county and , atate school demands, have forced increase in rate, in some cp rather giddy proportions.

^ That portion of the per capita coat :m of education per year paid for by e direct taxation in this Monty would f not pay the tuition fees alone o' * ch''d ,n any reputable private e school for one week. Those who have , no children to send to the schools sometimes complain of the payment t of school tax as an injustice, but this is absurd.
