VERY HIGH BUILDINGS.
Objections to Them Which Do Not Hold
Good Here.

objections to Them which DO Not hOId
Good Here.
American Architect.
The law recently passed in Massachusetts,,
limiting the height of buildings in cities to 40
feet, does not meet the approval of Fire and
Water, which thinks that owners Of valuable
land ought to be allowed to build upon it as
high as they choose, provided they make their
buildings thoroughly fireproof. While this
view of the subject is natural enough to per-
sons who chiefly concern themselves with the
fire-risk of buildings, there is another point to
be considered, In the injurious shadow cast by
very high structures on the neighboring streets
and buildings. Where such buildings are
scattered at wide intervals this effect is not
much noticed; but il one owner is allowed to
make an Office building or hotel two hundred
feet high, his neighbors must have the same
privilege. To take a single example, the
Ames Building, in Boston, the highest struct-
ure in the city, stands on narrow street, with
a low building opposite, and the loss Of light
is not much noticed but plans are said to have
been made for pulling down the low building
and erecting another as high as the Ames
Building, the result of which would be to
plunge that part of the street into gloom re-
sembling that of the streets in Italian cities.
This, in our climate, would be accompanied
by chill in winter, and q malarions stagnation
in summer, which would he unpleasant, If
nothing worse, and, independent of the fire.
risk, the people Of Boston have reason to bo
glad that the height of their future buildings
has been limited, even to SO very liberal max
imum as hundred and forty feet.

A PETTY ANNOYANCE.
People Who Put Pens Behind the Ear and
walk OF With Them.
Pittsburgh Dlspatcn.

Pittsburgh Dispatch.
Every morning the janitor at the post Office
puts 12 new pens and holders on the desks in
the lobby, two for each one, and refills the ink
wells to accommodate the public. At night, as
rule, the pens and holders are missing, and
many people are put to Inconvenience by the
carelessness of Others. ti
gentleman was kicking yesterday to one
OF the post offce officials because he couldn't
find pen on any Of the desks ~ am sorry,
sir,' the postman replied, 'but it is not our
fault. We can't help it If people carry OF the
pens and holders. Many business men have
acquired the habit of sticking a pencil or pen
behind the ear when not using It, They have
occasion TO address an envelope here, and
while sealing it from force of habit put the
pen in the usual place and walk off. After
they have gone quite distance they discover
the pen back of the ear, and, finding it too far
to 90 back throw it away. It's small matter,
they reason, and Uncle Sam is rich, but it
would almost take mint of money to keep
the post oftices in the country supplied with
pens with many such people around. 1t is
carelessness, certainly, but you can't expect

anee of the corner, the architectural
beauty of the building, and give much
more room for street purposes. He
then invited several gentlemen to in
spect the ground as laid off. Among
these gentlemen were President of the
Council o. 0. Cullen, Aid. Costello and
John Summers. They all agreed that
the proposed change would be very de-
sirable, from the city'S standpoint, and
could not be otherwise than equally de-
sirable when viewed from the position
of the owner of the building, as it would
make a corner more accessible from
both streets and be more artistic than
sharp angle.
'Now," said Mr.. Bell, 1.-THE city ought
to condemn this angle. 1t is fifteen feet
on Fifth street and seven on st. Peter
street. The loss of land is very small,
and would not be missed in the building,
besides making a beautiful cOrner-to
say nothing of the advantages given for
street purposes. The expenses of con-
demnation would soon be saved by
avoiding collisions of teams when the
streets are crowded. The street at that
point is too narrow; it is narrower from
the Merrill corner across to the Wind
sor cOruer than at other points. Then
the lamp post should be taken out OF the
way by removal from the corner to a
point on st. Peter street. There is a
way to get at the matter, provided Mr..
Merrill will not donate the land-that
is by condemnation. Council meets
Tuesday evening. The matter ought
to be presented promptly. The initia-
i've ought to to be taken at once and
council asked to act upon the matter at
Tuesday night. If the building is built
before action is taken, the change may
never be made and there will be an
everlasting regret"
All the gentlemen who inspected Mr..
Bells plan were enthusiastic in its sup
port. The proposed change is similar
to construction of buildings in other
parts OF the city, for instance such as
the corner of the Windsor opposite and
the cathedral corner.
