DANGERS OF SKYSCR4PERS.

In his talk before the Nineteenth Century
Club on Tuesday evening George 3. Post, the
well known architect, drew grewsonie picture
Of Panic and loss of life which may some day
take place In Of the many modern skyscrap-
ing structures OF this city. A fire In the base
ment the building filled with smoke. tenants
rushing downstairs elevators disabled or in
adequate TO carry all who wish to ride, people
suffocated by smoke and other dreadful details
were referred to by the speaker. all with a
view to demonstrating that the valuable space
in these skyscrapers is acquired at the cost OF
safety. This fact, Mr.. Post thinks. may he
come terribly apparent to the people Of New
York some day"
II the disaster wildly described should
take place, if fire in the basement should fill
of these buildings with smoke. cut off
eCress and cause much loss Of life by suffoca-
ton there would he little satisfaction for the
architects who now scent the danger in saying,
Il told you So II, however. the hint con-
tanned in the skyscraper discussion should lead
to the adoption of restrictive measures by
which dangers Of panic would be lessened. the
men who pointed to the dreadful possibilities
will have earned the thanks Of the community.
No people are hetter able to Judge on this sub
ject than the architects and the members Of the
Fire Department. According to Mr. Posts
statement. both are "afraid" of the skyscraper,
and both favor legislation which will limit the
height of buildings. It Is true that the sky
scraping office building has added nearly two
hundred acres of area to the business district
OF this city, but II the limits OF safety have
been overstepped in making this addition it is
time to call a halt. time to enact ordinances
which will block the way to the erection of
abnormal. unsafe structures. Many times the
added area to our business district would be
dearly purchased with disaster such as Mr..
Post thinks may come "sone day"
