said to BE the Cause of the Wreck Of the
York Block.
The investigation of the cause which
led to the collapse of the York building
which was instituted by Building In
spector Kennedy Monday was made
yesterday by the committee appointed
for the purpose. The four men select
ed, two each by Inspector Kennedy and
Architect Patterson and Foreman Whit
ney, chose as the fifth member of the
commission Lawrence Burk, and yes
terday morning the ruins were visited
and a thorough inquiry made. In the
afternoon the commission held a meet
ing at the city hall and examined a
number of witnesses. Among them
were Architect Patterson, who drew the
plans; Foreman Byron X. Whitney,
who was in charge of construction for
]. f. Oppenheimer; A. S. Whitney, who
was placed in charge OF clearing away
the debris by Mayor Harrington, and a
man named Latchman, who claims to
have seen the first break when the
building collapse.
The commission reached a conclusion
and Will report to Inspector Kennedy
to-day. The members declined to give
out their fndisgs, but ii is said they
reached the conclusion the ] beam
across the building which supported the
brick work above and in which one end
of the girder running through the cen
ter of the building rested was not strong
enough to hold the weight thrown upon
it when the false supports were re-
moved, and hat when the temporary
supports were knocked out il CAV way.
The work Of clearing away the wreck
age'i is progressing rapidly. Last night
electric lights were put in and the work
will be rushed night and day. ]. F..
Oppenheimer returned from the East
yesterday. He stated last evening that
as soon as the place can be cleared he
will Immediately begin the erection OF
a fine three-story building.
