CONCRETE BUILDINGS.
"Argus" returns to the question of constructing concrete ' buildings. The correspondent writes:—"l recognise that the massive buildings erected along the foreshore of the city, from Lambton Station to Oriental Bay, are of as much concern to all as dwellings or buildings on _ the elevated hillsides. The probabilities are that ■ houses built on the side of the hills rest on a better foundation than those huge buildings, placed on marine'deposits. Hills usually contain hard stratas, especially the' steep ones: if otherwise, ilrey consist of soft clay."
