Despite the Improvement In apparatus
for the control Of fire, this fearful ele.
ment seems TO bs increasing rather than
diminishing its destruction Of life aud
property. This, together with the fact
that insurance companies have Of late
been constantly raising their rates for
insurance, and claim that they are. even
now, not high enough to make the
underwriting business profitable. has
led the attention Of thoughtful people
to the practlcabllity Of erecting fre-
proof buildings.
Some time ago a New York archits Ct,
Manly N. Cutter, published an article
giving the estimate for the cost Of a
dwelling built substantially on the IRE.
proof system. and one constructed in the
ordinary manner with wooden hoor
beams. MIR. Cutters estimates attracted
considerable attention and have led To
much discussion. One builder said
recently: Il am going to try house
such as was suggested BY Mr.. Cutter
some time ago. think that = great
deal can aud may be done to make
dwellings more substantial and less
easily burned"
Ia connection with this subject an
