Each day tho spirit of tho ago seems not only to sanction, but also to demand with over Increasing insistence tho union of the beautiful with tho useful Tills applies, among other things, to architectural and en glneerlng designs. It involve no moro ex pense -so expert say to build a houso or barn with an attrnctivo exterior than ouo that only satlsfli tlm requirement for room and comfort and in outline look uncompro misingly ugly. Tho miiio proposition applies to moro pretentious structures erected by municipalities or Uy private citizens for pub llo uso. Among theo latter are to Ik) num bered water towers. It has liven tho rule, until recently, to regard tho necoviary but unadorned iron cylinder as fulfilling all re quirements. Of late, however, tho resident of cities, including thoso who are compelled to gaze dally upon an uuplonslng tower, havo come to tho conclusion that lofty structure of this class mny bo made ornaments to the land scajio instead of blots. Not long ago tho ex istence of a general but unformed popular opinion In this reM.ct was recognized by Mr, Henry C Meyer, editor of Thu New York Engineering and Uuildiug IUcord, ami at hi own exHnso ho opened a competition for designs for a waterworks pumping station and a water towor. Over fifty architects responded, nnd tho result) attained far ex ceeded what had been expected. Tho first prize went to a Milwaukee competitor, tho secoud to n resident of llrooklyn, and tho third and fourth to Itostou ai-chltecU. Out side tho technical excellence displayed, tho chief (mint regarded a solved by the com petition Is that of wedding Iteauty to utility. It was shown thut It cost little or nothing moro to build a water tower architecturally handsomo than ono phenomenally hideout Moutu Carlo outwardly U one of tho mott beautiful and attructivo place In Europe, but more suicide occur there than at any of tho capital of Eurojie.
