TALL BUILDINGS.
They Are Considered Dangerous and
Unsanitary.

From the Popular Health Magazine.
The law in Washington which restricts
the height of buildings Is one which should
be initiated in other large cities. Not only
are tall buildings dangerous. but they are
liable to pe unsanitary in the lower
stories. The architects have heretofore
made a large Steel frame or cage, which
is encased in a solid base, and around this
the lofty structure Is built, but the danger
Of corrosion of the frame and the impos-
sibility OF getting at the defects in such a
building have induced the best architects
to build the frame first and then anchor
the building around it, so that the frame
can be examined from the inside and de-
fects repaired in 1t.
High buildings shut out light and air and
make ventilation, except in the upper
stories, very difficult. A paper once gave
a picture of the future appearance of Chi
cago, with its lofty buildings, making every
street look like a deep ravine. Builders
and architects should have restrictions
placed on their work, and the building in
spector should not only be a competent
builder and architect himself, but he should
know something about sanitation, and give
proper attention to lighting, heating and
ventilation. In. Washington the height of
building Is governed by the width of the
street on which 1t fronts, and such a law
should be enacted and enforced in other
large cities, where the streets are narrower
and the commercial aspect Of the city more
prominent.
