Cnicaao, June 22.—Permit me to say o fow words on the question of what kind of stonu shall bo used fn the cut-stone work of our new Court-ITouse, o question of no amall kaportance to the tax-payers and gencral public of Cook County, Andright here let me state that the motive which prompts me to write this commu- nication is the prejudice which seems to oxlst among the County Board In favor of liinestone, or so-called Lemoiit murble. Ono of the strongest arguments that could be made in favor of sandstone Is the difference in price; us, by compuaring the blds lately recetved y the Board of County Commiissioners for cut- stone work, we find that the lowest sandstone bid is £420,000, while tho lowest lincatono bld la 6{»‘35.006 (and the former bidder Is fully as rospousible a4 the Iatter), o differunce of $109,- 000, or about 25 per cent, and this, mark you, on the county portion nlone, making, on the whole,—county, city,und dome,—about 300,000, The writer does not bold thut that which costs the least money 18 the cheapest, not hy auy means; if Cook County can get’a better, mare durable, bulldlug out of llimestone, then well atford to pay the difference, nud but if it can bo shown that sandetone is the equal, and, in sowme parfleulars, the superior of limestone, then the argument that it s cheap- er in price has a double weight, Let us compare tho maln qualitics essential to o good bullding stouoe, us ru.'.acsucll by the two yisrletios in question: durability, strength, sult- able texture, and color or heanty. First, s to durabllity, sand stone 18 unques- tionably the superlor. Notonly does experience prova this, sandstone structurcs withstanding hie rayages of tino where limestone decays. but when we consider the chenieal compuost tion of the two varieties we have almost conclu- slve prool; llmestone belng chiefly carbunate of lime (chalk), while sandstone I8 mostly com- pused of sfiiea (pure flint), Then take tiie pow- 1 to reslst fire; we admit that in an fmmense heat, llko that of the * great fire," all stones must crumble, but, suppusd s hulldlnfi;, facing the Court-Ilouse, was Lo be afire, the heat gen- eruted would be sutliclent to calclne and foréver dhflguru the best limestone facade, while It wouid have no cffect on sandstone, und this la 4 ftem of paramount fmportance, As to strength, actual expericnce shows that sandstone §s strong enough for all practicable purposes, while experiments ortests mado with different samples of stone demonstrate that the avernge strength und ""'I'I"F forco of gand- utmwfiu fully equal to that of limestone, Next, as to texture, it 1s sufMelent to say that though an tho averuge the texture of sandstone I8 courser than that of limestone, 1t 18 fing enough to bu carved and cut Into any desired form, especlully us all sandstone posscsses the quality of being soft when finst quarried and liardenlng by exposure to the alr ju a very high degree, and this last-named quality 18 whut wmukes It 50 much cheaper to cut. Lustly, us to oelor, which really constitutes what beauty a stone naturally poascsses, 1 would suy, that thiu question which I8 the more beautt- ful of thetwo varletivs Is not & question of fact but one purely of tuste. On the average, sand- stone Is durker than limestone, and us hulldings Inlurge cities become raphdly smirched with A-tml, ust, cte., this surely cantiot Le un objecs ton. And now, in view of all these fucts (I say facts, nonmlemcnu& let us not lose sight of the {em of price, W hen we sco taen on the County Board and counected therewith favor llmeatony, we would be almost tempted to doubt the disinterestednesa of thelr motives were thig not an age of public virtue, loncsty, and purlty, Respeetinlly, ot CRLENRATE TR FOURTI, A0 the Editor af The Tridune, Caicaao, Juno 23,—Knowing that you nre nlwaya willing through the medium of your pa per to vindleate a matter of publle intereat, 1 would suggest oa o fitting question for consld. erntion at thy present thme the propricty of cclebrating the Centennial yenr of our country's independenco by a total suspension of lusiness from the uvu-n!uF of Saturday, Ju]{ 1, until the wmorning of Wediiosday, the 5th, This ien has been monted for somo time past In our Enstorn clties, an@ has been recelved with so much fa. vor that it will doubtiess be very geucrally neted upon, To Chicago busincss men this may seem a Tong time to refrain from handling the ‘Al mighty Dollar,” but f reality it §s only making an extra hollilay of ohe day aud thus glying ems Plu)‘on and others an uplmrtunny to spend a ew dnys in needed recrention, Birely one ex< tra holiday in o hundred years {8 not too much Lo ask, especially if we promise not to make it a precedent when we celebrate our next.
