THE AMERICAN ARCHITECT,
12 West Fortieth St. New York
Milford, Mass.—The civil case of Walter L. Collins, architect, vs. Harvey E. Trask, both of Milford, which was on the docket for the January term of the Superior Court has been settled out of court. An agreement of judgment for plaintiff has been entered, the exact amount of which is not known. The case was an action to recover for the use of a set of plans drawn by the plaintiff and alleged to be subsequently used by the defendant, Mr. Trask, without permission of the planitiff.
Cincinnati, O.—Mr. Harry Hake, architect, has moved his office from the Union Trust Building to the Andrews Building, taking the entire tenth floor, giving him over 3,000 square feet of space with natural light on four sides.
Columbus, O.—Mr. R. J. Merriam, a member of the architectural firm of Howard, Inscho & Merriam has reached Columbus, and taken up the reins in connection with the work of this firm. Mr. Merriam has been practising his profession at Saginaw, Mich., for several years and was unable to wind up his affairs in time to reach here January i, when the new firm began business.
Pittsfield, Mass.—Settlement has been made in the slander suit of John R. Feeley against George E. Haynes, architect, for $100 without costs. Judgment was so entered in Superior Court. Mr. Feeley sued Mr. Haynes for $10,000 for slander.
Brockton, Mass,—Mr. George V. Howard, for a number of years City Architect, has severed his connection with the city. Mr. Walter M. Folger, employed in the office of Charles A. Brigham, architect, in Boston, has been secured and has entered upon his new duties as City Architect.
New Haven, Conn.—Mr. Duncan Mc Arthur, architect, has opened offices in Room 808, First National Bank Building. He was for a long time manager of the Chicago office of Louis C. Tiffany, the New York decorator.
New York, N. Y. — Messrs. McKim, Mead & White have brought a suit in the Supreme Court against Stefano Bardini, a resident of Florence, Italy, to recover $11,- 012, which they paid for a certain antique wooden ceiling. The ceiling was shipped to the architects, but was seized by the United States custom authorities for fraudulent undervaluation, and will probably be sold to satisfy the duties. According to the complaint, the ceiling was invoiced at 5,000 lires, but the custom authorities placed a valuation on it of 20,000 lires.
Dayton, O.—Mr. Albert Pretzinger, architect, wishes to announce that the old firm with which he was formerly connected having dissolved partnership by mutual consent, he has opened temporary offices in Rooms 811 and 812 Reibold Building.
Brooklyn, N. Y.—Mr. Wm. H. Goodyear, Curator of Fine Arts in the Brooklyn Museum, has been elected an honorary member of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Milan, in recognition of the contributions to Mediaeval Architectural research in Italy, which have been made by the Brooklyn Museum.
Cranford, N. J.—Nathaniel G. Foster, a retired architect, died January 17, from heart disease, at his home at Cranford, N. J.
Mr. Foster was born in West Hampton, Long Island, and was seventy-four years old. Previous to his retirement from business, about twenty years ago, he was active in real estate operations, and for more than twenty years had offices in the Trinity Building, at No. ill Broadway.
Waterton, S. D.—Mr. Morris Hockman, architect, has secured a suite of rooms in the new post-office building, rooms 23 and 24, having removed from the Century Block.
St. Louis, Mo.—The Lewis Publishing Company has begun suit against Herbert C. Olivers for $33,500. Olivers is the architect who planned the National Daily
building for Lewis. The suit grew out of the awarding of the contract for the construction of the building to the Dunnavant Construction Company, in which, the petition alleges, Chivers is a stockholder. The bid of this company for erecting the building was $112,999.99, and Lewis, in his petition, alleges this figure is $20,000 in excess of what the contract was worth. In addition to the $20,000, he asks $10,000 punitive damages for alleged misrepresentations and $3,500 alleged to have been paid to Chivers in commissions. Mr. Chivers asserts that the charges are untrue.
Kewanee, III. — John McCullough, a prominent architect, designer of many large buildings in western Illinois, died of heart trouble here, January 14.
Los Angeles, Cal.—A. L. Haley, Inc., architect, has removed his offices to rooms 531-32 Citizens’ National Bank building.
Messrs. Garrett & Bixby, architects, have changed their location to rooms 405-6-7 Currier Building.
NOTES AND CLIPPINGS.
Galalith.—In Austria something like one hundred thousand gallons of skimmed milk are used daily for the manufacture of galalith, and the industry is largely on the increase. “Galalith,” which is a composition of skim milk and formaline, makes an excellent substitute for ivory and celluloid. Mixed with other chemicals, it forms a substitute for hard rubber and amber. Piano-keys, billiard-balls, doll-heads, fancy glove and handkerchief boxes, door-knobs, mantelpieces, checks, and, in fact, anything made from ivory or celluloid, can be made from galalith. It is the best substitute for ivory that has been discovered because it is smooth to the touch, retains its soft, creamy tinting for years, is not marred by soap and water, and, unlike celluloid, is proof against fire.—New York Tribune.
