CATION OF the West Broadway disaster. The
discovery of an old well in close proximity
to the center pillars yesterday had a bad
look and led many to believe that the cause
of the collapse had been discovered, but
this does not appear at all certain. Those
who have supported the theory of quick
sand beneath the center foundation still
hold to their opinion and are supported by
a letter sent to New York newspaper by
William W. Goodrich, a Baltimore archi-
tect, who states that dn-iHs the winter
OF 1S69-70 he was employed by A. T.
Stewart to bore the site for a proposed
building on the ground where Ireland's
wrecked building now stands.
Mr.. Goodrich writes that he bored
down thirty-five or forty feet and dis
covered quicksand and running water.

he abandoned the idea OF building on the

BUILDINGS AND HEALTH.
Mr. Truesdeli Lays Down the Law
On the IO-Foot Limit.

On the IO-Foot Limit.
There was a spirited discussion before
the board of Commissioners to-day over
the amendment TO the building regulations
recently adopted requiring a ten foot
space to be left in the rear of buildings, for
purposes of supplying light and air.
1t appears that j. H. Johnson applied in
January last to the building inspector for
Information touching the issuance of per-
nit for several dwellings at the corner Of
Eighteenth and streets northwest. At
that time the 1O-foot area was not required,
the limit being but six feet. There was then
nothing to prevent the building inspector
from issuing permit, but on June II
the reGi II tioDs were amended.
Meanwhile arrangements were completed
for the construction of the buildings, and
Mr.. Johnson obligated himself by notes,
payable in five years, TO pay the expense
that would be incurred Thv regulations
forbade the Issuance aud the case was ap-
pealed to the Commissioners.
At the hearing this morning Mr.. Samuel
Maddox appeared for Mr.. johnson, and
argued the injustice of enforcing an order
against a MA who by reason of a mistake
Or the revival of an obsolete rule' is

1arry out contract.
Commissioner TruesdelI suggested that
% one should expect to act upon informa-
fon that had been obtained six months
previously, ard Mr. Maddox replied that
he board ought not 10 enforce n regulation,
be adoption of which had not been duly
advertised.
''Do you mean TO say said Mr.. Mad
1oX, THAT no man Shall build corner
)ousc anywhere in the city without leaving
ne ten-foot area prescribed?"
Yes. SIR" said Commissioner Trues-
Sell; THAT is exactly what we mean. There
Dave been many houses erected in this
Ety with view more to the number of
iollars that can be gotten out of them than
10 the health and comfort of the occupants"
The board finally authorized the issu-
nnce of permit provided that the main
wall of his buildings shall be get back ten
feet from the building line, instead of
eight and half feet, as proposed, and
excluding the bay window projections pre-
Bcribed in the plans.
