The wooden forms for the concrete

Charles Chowlns of the university re
fused to let them pour In concrete with
the temperature hovering around aero,
on the grounds that the mixture might

Is well done.

About fifty member and friends of the
Jacksonlau club gathered at the club
headquarters, sixteenth floor of the City
National bank building, laat night for the
memorial services In honor of the late
John Power, former sheriff and promi
nent member of the club. The eons"and
daughter of the late Mr. Power were
present by special Invitation at thla me
morial meeting. Ed. P.. Smith gave a
biographical review of Mr. Power's life,
and Colonel C. O. Cunningham and
Richard L. Metcalfe paid beautiful tri
bute to the character of Mr. Power
which they said was at once atrong
enough to face the hardest battle, and
tender enough to weep for the afflicted
at all time.
The following resolution of tribute waa
adopted by the Jackson'an out of j
respect for their deceased member:
When, pear the hour of 9 o' lock a. m.,
January "Hi, our well beloved friend and
fellow member. John Power, bowed to
the final decree, death claimed one whose
life book ia ao replete In good and
righteous works; whose Influence waa ao
valuahlo and whose example so Inspiring
thst we scarce f'nd words more than to
sincerely express the universal regret that
he waa not permitted to serve out his
allotted time.
It la of common knowledge to all with
whom he waa acquainted, that John
Power was of sterling quality; that he
waa a rugged, broad, superb type of
American manhor.d; that he vu the soul
of honor, clean, unselfish, loyal, patriotic,
cauragoona, aymitliello, frank and
genial; that he waa sn affectionate hus
band and father, a staunch friend a wise
rounsellor, an upright public otflclat, a
progressive, generous, peace-loving Uod
fearing cltlseji.
With elrong, earnest and conscientious
fldullty to duty. John Power met the car
of official responsibilities In t' e same
manner with which he discharged the de
tail of his buainesa affairs, it wa In
the office of sheriff that he earned and
.deserved the title of "Honest John
Power," and no on can truthfully point
to a deliberate act of his official or un
official life which would bring the pang
of reproaolt to those most near and dear
to him or cast a stain on his family
escutcheon.
Johi Power will be sadly missed from
our counsels. The church, the lodge and
the social realm In which he waa wont t i
move, will bitterly deplore hi tak n
awav: yet. In the larger aenae, the en
nobling example of an earnest, unassum
ing and honorable man aa exemplified by
John Power, will linger with thein 1 1
the years to come.
And, above the pallor of gloom which
hover over th home which he haa so
many years honored and loved; shove
the sighs and tear of countlaaa friend
of every avocation pmfeaaton, class an I
rlan, the lustre of his helpful. wholnaom
l ie snail shine as free aa "Hope great '
throbbing star above the darkness of the i
dead. " I
He it Besolved, Therefore, That th'a'
tribute of respect to our departed friend
be made a permanent part of-tha record !
of thla club, and that an engroaaed copy. '

Why Do the Majority
of New Building Operations
Exceed the Original Estimate
of the Architect
In tba last of thla aerie of advertisements we told
of the Investigation by an Insurance company of a large
number of commercial buildings, which developed the
fact that 96 out of every 100 of these buildings exceeded
the estimated rout of the architect, and that the exceci
cost averaged 33.
Now, let us tell why such a condition exists under
the older-day building system
Some disappointed building owners In the past have
blamed their architects;
The Architect, however. Is not the one to blame:
unless he attempted to guarantee that the building would
not exceed the figure he gave, In which case he stepped
beyond his province.
The Architect's services,- even though they may be
of the best, are simply professional or advisory. The
owner cannot demand from the architect a guarantee
covering the work In its entirety and the high class archi
tect, who is a member of the American Institute of Archi
tects, will not Klve any such assurance to the building
owner because It Is a recognised fact within that body
of professional men that the building business is too
complex to permit any single individual to comprehen
sively meeTt and solve all of the problems that are con-
atantly arising In the building construction field.
The answer to the above question, therefore, Is not
hard to make.
The principal reasons that so large a majority of
buildings exceed the architect's estimate are:
Flrste Because the average architect does not have
the proper assistance In the shape of advisory services
from building engineers, together with that ot an
up-to-date estimating department, when preparing bis
plans so as to enable him to give a price to the building
owner that is based all the way through on conditions
as they exist in the building field at the time plana are
made; and.
Second Because very frequently the building owner
changes his mind, which In turn causes expensive
changes In the building Itself, In which case, of course,
no one can be blamed but the building owner himself.
To provide a remedy for the decided weaknesses In
the old-time architectural and building methods much
is being done to revise the system of handling building
operations. !
The building professions and trades are at the pre--enftlme
engaged in the task of providing closer cc-opera-tlve
methods between themselves new forms of con
tracts are beiig devised and many other activities are
apparent, all Vith the view of eliminating the ineffi
ciency that has been the terror of the prospective new
building owner In days gone by. '
