The Building Materials Exchange is now in its new quarters, on the sixth floor of the Bowling Green Building. The Chicago, St. Paul & Missouri Railway have placed a con¬ tract for thirty-six bridges with the American Bridge Oo. Tomkins Brothers, of No. 257 Broadway, agents for the sale of Ohio vitrified sewer pipe, also handle land tile and cements. Their facilities are of the hest and their prices right. Telephone 1177 Cortlandt calls Tomkins Brothers. The Rockland-Rockport Lime Co. has absorbed by purchase the property of Perry Bros,, lime manufacturers of Rockland, Me., who are well known to the trade. O. F, Perry, formerly the New Tork representative of Perry Bros., is now salesman and general representative of the Rockland-Rockport Lime Co. in this city. The Court of Appeals yesterday decided In the case of Ralph J. Treat vs. Controller Coler, of New Tork City, that the law requiring the use of stone dressed in this State in the per¬ formance of public contracts within the State, and prohibiting the use of stone dressed in other States on such work is unconsti¬ tutional. President H. C. Fry, of the National Glass Company, accord¬ ing to a Pittsburg dispatch, has tendered his resignation as presi¬ dent of that company on account of friction among the officials of the corporation. In an Interview Mr. Fry announced his In¬ tention to erect an independent glass plant at Rochester, Beaver county. Pa. The annual election of offlcers of the Building Materials' Ex¬ change will be held on the second Monday of April, when 13 trus¬ tees, a president, vice-president and treasurer will be chosen. President Robert B. Waldo has appointed the following nominat¬ ing committee: H. B, Homan, Wm. H. Barnes, Chas. E. Murtagh, Orin F. Perry, and Frank Sears. The Berger Mfg. Co. recently executed expeditiously a large contract for metal ceilings for Dunham Se Buckley, dry goods, at No. 340 Broadway. Though this contract called for 60,000 feet of metal ceiling it was all delivered and put in place in 9 days. The company claims to keep on hand the largest stock in the country at their 5-story warehouse. No. 227 Bast 22d st, John W. Rapp patent flreproofing is finding increased favor in the trade, both on account of its economy, quality and the rapid- tiy with which it can he put in place. One of the contracts re¬ cently obtained by John W. Rapp was that for the extensive fireproofing of the new Mt. Sinai Hospital, on the block 5th and Madison avs and 100th and 101st sts, 201.10x420, consisting of a group of nine buildings including administration pavilion, chil¬ dren's pavilion, isolation and surgical pavilion, private hospital, kitchen building, pathological building, and dispensary. Frank H. Boyle, manufacturer of iron, bronze and brass work for buildings, of Nos. 418 and 420 West 27th st, who makes a specialty of ornamental and artistic iron, has done some very creditable work in his line the past year, his first in husiness for himself. A few of his contracts were: Railing and grilles at No. 320 "W^est 107th st, for Renwick, Aspinwall &. Owen, architects; cast-iron front and marquee at No. 17 West SOth st, for John A. Hamilton, architect; railing and gates at No. 15 Lexington av, for O. T, Mackey & Co., buildera; and a handsome door and screen, at No. 17 East 54th at, for Snelling & Potter, architects. The high class work executed nowadays in private and seml- Iiublic buildings has developed ao that specialists are frequently sought to plan and supervise the several parts of the work. Foremost in the list stands the Building & Sanitary Inspection Co., of No. 874 Broadway. They designed and supervised the plumbing and ventilation of the new Tale Club, on West 44th' st, planned by Architects Tracy & Swartout; the Hyde residence, at Madison av and 40th st, N. C. Mellen, architect, both of which are nearly finished, and have in hand the palatial Riverside Drive residence now building for Isaac L. Rice, after plans by H«rt8 & Tallent.
