Tall Buildings and the Wind.


Chicago, which Is known, the world over,
as "the windy city," has one corner where
the wind is particularly severe. The Chi
cago Journal asserts that the wind blows
harder at the Masonic Temple corner than
at any other corner in Chicago, and inti-
mates that the tall pile Of steel and stone
which constitutes the Masonic Temple is re-
sponsible for the phenomenon. A similar
complaint has been raised against the new
"Flatiron'' building, at the junction OF
Broadway, 9th avenue and 23d street in
New York. Twice. since the erecting OF the
''Flatiron" have the plate-glass windows Of
a clothing merchant in the vicinity been
blown in during storms, to the damage OF
his stock. He asserts that the fierce gusts
are due to the presence of his tall neigh
Dor, and has brought suit to recover s., 900
from the owners of the "Flatiron' for the
loss which he claims to have sustained.
Even If tall buildings do defect the wind 1t
is a question whether their owners can be
held pecuniarily responsible for damage
which may result. The issue of the suit
will tend to answer the question. But il
the answer is affirmative it will give rise to
another question-that of how far a man
may go in the use of his own property. If
a building must be erected so that it will
not defect the wind, is 1t right that build
ings shall be erected which intercept the
ability Is that the man with the bill for
broken plate glass will not be able to coll
lect If he is. will the people for whom
the tall structure acts as a wind-break
make up purse to pay its owners for their
shelter?
