MANY BUILDINGS
 ARE FIRE TRAPS Former Chief Austin Makes Rather Startling Report IS INSPECTOR OF RISKS He Says Condition Is Largely Due to the Haste With Which the Houses
 Were Constructed During
 the Earlier Days.
IS INSPECTOR OF RISKS

About fifty per cent of the buildings ir the business portion of Birmingham are fire traps.'
 C. W. Austin. inspector for the South eastern Tariff association, made this statement yesterday as result of a three weeks investigation of the buildings for the insurance companies.
 The condition of the buildings accord- ing to former Chief Austin, Is very much worse than 1t should be and worse than in the average southern city. This he attributes to some extent to the lack of suitable building laws, until recently. and also to the haste with which the build lngs were erected during the earlier days of the city.
 In speaking of the matter yesterday he said:
 q should say that not less than fifty per cent of the buildings are very bad, and dangerous fire traps. A person would be surprised at some of them. In one store in the business section the mortar has fallen from between the bricks of the chimney and smoke goes through into the adjoining establishment. In other places there are piles of straw, trash and com bustlole things which would burn like tinoer Many of the buildings are infe- rior and need considerable repairs. Ere quently the woodwork is rotten and some times the buildings are even dangerous.
 q think when the new building law goes into effect on the first of the year that it will aid a great deal in bettering the class of buildings to be erected in the future, and will also enable the city to compel certain buildings to be repaired and fitted up in such a manner that the danger from fire will be less. The law is very much like that in Atlanta and it gives the building inspector, to be elected by the city, the right 10 Lave any build- ing which is not safe torn down, or such repairs made as will protect the public. The inspector will be given the power to force an owner to repair his building to tear down any part of 1t which Is not substantial, or to place a danger sign on the building so that the public may be warned. There are a number of buildings in the business portion of the city which should be repaired, or torn down.
 'rhe new building law will require the inspector to see that good brick, good mortar and In fact good material is used throughout a building. He can also see that the foundations are secure and will stand as many stories as the owner chooses to place on them.
 q was In Atlanta several days ago and went around with the building inspector hte ings are in much better condition than those in Birmingham, and they are rapid ly being improved. Everywhere one sees old shacks being torn away and modern, up-to-date steel frame buildings being erected. As soon as this kind of build ing boom hits Birminbam and many of the old shacks are torn down the danger from fire will be greatly lessened."
