pressed laughter. Everything in the subse~

Fire-proof Buildings.
Nonwltnx. CONN. Feb. 1874.
HON. D. P. Eu:—
Dun Stu 2—Pnrdon the liberty I take in
addressing you. so you may bring to mind.
tint. some years since. I called on you in
reforcnco to the subject of s supply of wn~
tor for both the borough and the city of Non
walk and South Norwulk. which. to mo.hud
nppoarod not only desirable. but necessary so
a protection from or mutual. firs. My cott-
mates. which were less than is now the in.
tomt on the water debt. were thought to be
extravagant. and a job to be for my own
benefit. I also called attention to tho im-
portance of improving our harbor. to make
nsvlgablo sud to make the shores on either
side valuable for docks. store. manufactorles.
etc.. all of which improvements might have
been made for s loss outlay of money than
tho cost of water works alone as thoy now
are. sud the improvements. us I proposed.
would have enhanced the value of the shore
line of property to more than double the
cost. South Norwslk now may see some-
thing of the importance Iof A supply of wu~
tor. as also the hood of hose. if not of fire
engines; yet with water from a suitable elo-
vntlon. the engine is not so much annually
as is an ample supply of hose.
1 have asked attention to the now ordinary
mode of fireproof buildings. its employed
in Paris. France. and from which made the
nnmo “Plustor Paris“ was given to gypsum.
The name is now . common “plaster pnrio“
throughout our country. yet its most valuat-
blo qualities src too little known. and per-
haps seldom thought of. l have thought
that should you rebuild on the premises
when the late the occurrod. it would be.
perhaps. wotthy of your attention to know
the way and menus of building fireproof
buildings. For oxantplc. n row of first-class
buildings may be put up and in roadiness
for occupation by tho first of May. with
Mnusnrd roofs if duslrcd. Such rtmfs. as
now constructed in this vicinity. if not
throughout our country. are most unngcmus
structures. in my onflmntionmnd Ibcllcvo
you will admit tho“ sumo. these being con-
structed of combustible tnntci‘iul. mostly if
not entirely. whilc by tho uso of gypsum
(plaster of Paris) thc Mnnsmd roof is us
sufu and secure as if of iron. The gypsum.
till now obtniucd from Nova Scutln. mny be
more expansive than that of France. yet we
have in our own country. vast beds or quat-
rics of this tnntcriul in Virginia and North
Carolina. and those lunds may be purchased
or could hnvo bocu buforo the wor. for from
thrce to five dollars ‘pcr acre. and probably
may now ho had for ovcn less money. and if
in propcv hnntls.would.in it short tlmo.bc its
valuable usnro thc‘cunl floltlsof Ponsylvnnln.
Icnn romolnbcr whom those were in the
market for from $1.50 to ‘5 par ncrc. Ind
the some are now worth hundreds. and it
will be so with tho gypsum when known
and rightly npprcclntod as it is in Pulls.
Allow mo to give something of the modua
upcmmh‘ in building. Stone or brick in the
general umtorinl for the outside main walls.
Those arc put up in the main as with us :—
the studs and joists are set. against the walls.
and the studs and timber for the divisions
into entries or rooms. these however of light-
er or loss sine timber than with us. in place
of lath and mortar and plaster. The mason
orders blocks or slabs of such thickness and
other dimensions as may be required. These
patterns. plain or ornamental. are made and
the slabs are cast and rendv for building in
less time than a board partition could be put
up. Those blocks or pistes. say of two or
throo or more inches thick. of any required
length and width. are moulded with tongue
and groovo. nud set up on the edge. one
above another. sud cemented as they arc set
up between the studs. The ends of the
states aromatic to m sud enclose the studs
so that no wood is exposed. As the ends m
brought together. the upright stud ls enclos-
ed Add oovolcd. and the wall is at onus solid
“no room for rats. mica or outer vortnln.or
for fire. These walls mod no whltowssb.
simply wash with oloan wstomt littlo soap
and sponge. and they arc clash. These slabs
may be out with medallions. hood. base sud
cornice. rim. or mat-bio of any :vsrloty any
bo imitated when casting the slates. Lum-
bor for flooring. doors. cits. is pinned to o
bath of salt sud alum waiter by which it is
rendered fire proof.
Now. sir. s now sud admirable lmprovo
