  IN CONCRETE
 A BUILDING STORY
 HAD IDEAS
 THEY PROVED RIGHT
 (From Our Special Representative)
  COONAMBLE, Friday.
  THEY call him "The Concrete King" in Coonamble, but George Dalton Lane, one-time sheep buyer, former grazier and now hotel owner, has not allowed the distinction to swell his head, for a more democratic "king" one could not meet. George Lane can carry his memories of Coonamble and district back over more years than he cares to remember. He is the type of man who never thinks in the abstract, but very definitely in concrete. His first big concrete idea came to him 28 years ago, and when he began to put it into practise the wiseacres wagged their heads and predicted all sorts of calamities for George's venture.
 He is not a builder by occupation, but when he decided to invest his money in a building he determined that it should be constructed in concrete.
  Caused A Fuss
  Such a thing, it would appear, had never been heard of in Coonamble before, and there was no dearth of critics who joined in the chorus of "It can't be done."
 George Lane remained unmoved. He outlined his ideas to his architect, who drew the plans, erected the building by day labor and stipulated for local employees on the job. In six months his concrete hotel was an accomplished fact.
 "I am still amused when I think of all the fuss my venture caused at the time," Mr. Lane told "The Sun."
 "People actually told me that the building would not stand up; I was warned that it would fall about my ears. That was 28 years ago, and, well, there's the building. It does not look as though it is likely to fall, does it?"
 Mr. Lane recalled an amusing episode that happened soon after the building was completed. There was a severe storm over the town one night, and a tree was blown down with a crash on a man's property.
 "It was reported to me later," said Mr. Lane, "that when the tree crashed, the man said to his wife, 'There goes Lane's pub.'
 I'll bet he was a very surprised man next morning."
 The opening ceremony of the new building was the social event of the week. Due formality was observed, and the Mayor of the town officiated, following his speech by cutting a ribbon across the entrance with a pair of scissors specially obtained for the occasion.
 Such, Mr. Lane claims, was the dawn of the concrete age in Coonamble, and he takes pride in his title of "The Concrete King."
 "Yes," he said, "that is what they call me, and I take it as no mean compliment".
