YOltK METAL LATH.

Ill the almost univeraal tendency towards more enduring, aubatan-
tial and tire-proof construction metal lathing has more and more
grown iu use among the hetter class of architects, builders and
ownera. Ita iucroa-:od u.se has created demands npon the manu-
faotiirera for forms adaptat)le not only to wooden framing and stud¬
ding, hut to iron studding as well. On this point Moaars. Schrat-
wieser & Moss, proprietors of the York Metal Lath Worka, which are
at Nos. 110 to 114 Navy atreet, Brooklyn, reeeutly said: "In addi¬
tion to applying our lath on wood, we nrc now eonatrncting parti¬
tions entirely ot iron ; that ia to say. the fnrrowing and studding
consist of angle, channel and tee iron, with York Metal Lath laced
to same. This class of work we phiater on both aidea of partition,
making a solid slab of iron and plaster. Itis manifest that it would
be almost imposaible to injure auch ajpartition by fire. We have
recoLtly set up at onr works .several ditt'ereut kinds of parti¬
tions, some on wood and some nn iron, aa object leaaons
ou what can he aceompli^ilu-d with York Metal Lath, and to which
we invite tbe attention ol architects, builders and othera interested
in sound conatruction. In addition to thia we are uow constructing
whatwe_call solid jnirtitiona. that aro capceially adapted for air
ahafta. light shafts, dumb-waiter and elevator shafts in flats and
ofiice buildiugs and stores, where (Ioor apaoe is valuable and economy
aud fire protection are necessary, Tbeso partitions eiin lie put in for
aoout half the cost of brick walls and willjsave 80 per ceut of the
apace. They can be built 1 '-j, 2 or 3 inches thick. In plastering this
class of work we always rocommeiid a good plaatcr or gauged mrular
aa it makes the sfrountst wall. All of tbescjpiirfltions have been
njiproved \>y the building departments of New York and Brooklyn,
and are in use in hiuidrcda of buildings, including tlu^ Postal Tele¬
graph building. Broadway ainl Warren street: the Knhn, Loeh &
