FIREPROOF LAWS NOT COMPLIED WITH
PART OF CONSTRUCTION ORDERED
DISCONTINIT

Perez NJ Stewart. Superintendent of Buildings
has discovered violations of Section 1O5 the
Building code in the construction of the St. Regis
Hotel. being built by John Jacob AstOr at Fifth
ave and Fifty ffth-st.. and has prohibited the
tinuation of some of the work. Section l05 of the
building Code provides that all the interior Of
buildings over certain height shall be freproof
This hotel is to be twenty stories high. and Mr.
Stewards inspector discovered that the standards
and crossbeams Of all doors not freproof
Mr.. Stewart began investigation. which showed
that while partly hreproofed by patent process.
they sufficiently nreproofed and in
sequence the work is prohibited.
Mr.. Stewart said yesterday
This work has been stopped in the hotel by my
orders and VIII not be continued until ! con-
hdent that the law is longer violated. The doors
ana such woodstuffs supposed to be thoroughly
hreprOofed, but they have been. and il would
make the hotel dangerous and not tireproof at all
IT such construction were allowed. | believe that
in years past such overlooking of the Building
Code has been allowed, but will not allow it, and
will stop the work until they get the proper ma
terial and replace what has already been put in.

w~atchfulness OF the congregational
guardians of the treasury the annual
appropriations would increase the
more rapidly. Each bureau chief
wants increased appropriations. and
the sum total is always alarmingiy
large. The committees on appropria-
lions study the requirements of each
bureau. and make appropriations less
than the amounts asked for in a ma
jority of the cases.
The chairmen Of the committees on
appropriations. and the committee
clerks are charged with great and
grave responsibilities. While the
senator's and representatives are TAX
ing their vacations aud giving heed
usually only to those matters which
oucern their states and districts.
these ciiigent and faithful public serv-
ants are looking after the income and
outgo Of the government. When the
committees on appropriations make
their reports on the great appropria-
ton bills. the congress adopts those
reports and acts in accordance with
their recommendations.

While the congress is absent from
the capitol building there are a few
statesmen and employees who are hard
az work. and their labors are of the
greatest importance The chairman
OF the house committee on -appsopria-
tons. Mr.. Cannon, of Illinois. and the
chairman of the senate committee on
appropriations. Mr.. Allison, Of Iowa.
are working on the details of the per
manent appropriation bills; those
which require especial attention every
scar az their hands And with them
are the clerks OF their committees. Mr..
Courts and Mr.. Cleaves; two gentlemen
who have handled appropriation bills
for so many years that their services
are exceptionally valuable to the coun-
try, as well as to the congress. They
never take vacations for the Christ
mas holidays, nor for any other holi-
days while the congress Is in session.
Moreover, those employees work on the
details of appropriation bills during
the long vacations when the statesmen
are away from this city for months al
a time They have no time to acquire
the habit of too much resting.
During the past 20 years the annual
appropriations for the expenses of the
government have increased from $780,
100000 TO 500. Oo0. 900. As the country
grows in population the federal en-
ployes necessarily increase in number.
This was true before the expansion Of
territory which was incidental TO our
clash at arms with a foreign foe.
