F1RE-pRooF ROOFS TuH BEST PROTECTION.
10 the Editor of I1e Chicago tribune:
SIR: When fire is once started 1t will bo
spread by one or three ways: by the flamou
reaching to other buildings aud setting them on
fro by actual contact, OF by an intense mud ig-
hitting heat produced by radiation, or by sparks
ind flre-brandB boing carried by tho wind aud
deposited on tic tops OF other buildings.
In case Of fires whore only two or three build
inga arc burnt, the fire usually spreads by ono
or tho other Of tho first two ways; but when a
fro extends to many buildings, 1t Ia, III most
cases, communicated by brands deposited on tho
roofs OF tho houses. II tho roofs of tho build
ings, therefore, Woro nro-proof, tlore could not
be any worry large fires, even In city built OF
w1Gd provided r aaG there Tere a. elclont end
would bo con fined to ono place, and could not
got beyond tho control Of the Aremon.
LII view Of these PLAIN facts, ! suggest TINT
there 90 lay at once passed, and that it be on
tho city now built, aud those to be built, to he
coverod with hre-proof rooang, mud further,
that oyery building not worth tho axponsa OF
such roofing be ut onco torn down, OF moved
out of tho city.
Tho expolso of this roofing would DO but
little, and all the buildings IN tho city could be
thus protected in a fow mouths. We would thus
have early and certain safety against any more
grand Hro4.
Tho plans Of Widening stroots into bouloyards
or parks, Of planting trees, Of building blank
brick Hre-walls at intervals, ara ell too SLOW and
If dono, would do no good. Tho wind would
carry are.branas over them, aud still apread the
ire beyond them.
The best and only security against tho spread
Of fire from one house to anothor is, that they
be built with brick or stone walls, with 1ro.nroof
roofs, and with frc-proot covers to tho doors
aud windows. But It would take fifty yoars or
longer to change the wooden dwellings Of thls
city into brick oues and before that time or
down, il left in thor proHont condition. In the
meantime, and until tho operation Of sufficient
tre-limits law shall work change in tue walls
Of the buildings, lot US have tho protection Of
firo-proof roofs put at once on the wooden
hougos. WEST SIDE.
