Leo prominent builders. appeared in favor OF the
measure Mr. Deeves addressed the committee AT
length and urged that It time to draw line
as to the height OF buildings in New-York City There
was the utmost danger at present from fire in all
tall buildings and that danger was growing. The
Board o, Trade and Transportation Of which he
was a member had considered the matter fully al
several sessions IL deemed only prudent that
buildings should be restricted 10 a maximum height
O, 200 feet and that every precauton should be
taken to make that height a permanent limit. IN
cases where buildings were erected higher than
125 feet Il had been declared by Fire Chief Bonner
of Sew-York city that his Department could not
guarantee 10 cope successfully with fires that might
arise on this account II recommended that
between the heights OF l25 and 49, feet outside

,ion OF the maximum height without extra fire
precautions 10 eighty-1vc feet. and also modifca-
