There are many stones in the Do-

ranks above any -ether limestone quar-

sandstone of New Brunswick, a red
freestone largely used in. the Maritime
Provinces and xnanY Parte of Ontario

is the Wallace sandstone of Nova
Scotia, which is suitable for fine
carved work And largely used in the
canstootian of permanent buildings
in -eastern Canada, the trimmings ef
the Veotoria museum, at Ottawa being
a good exe.raple. Owing tofhe cost of
transportation, these stones cannot al-

The chief building stone quarried in
the maritime provinces is sandstone,
and desirable stones of olive-green,

extensively used for public and private

a St. John Ambulance man from the

The incident has a direct bearing on

thoughts to the need for a complete
