of both fire and water.

8. Vertical openings throughout

able height or comhustible contents
this is likely to result in fire condi-
tons beyond fire department control.
All such floor openings should Be en-
closed in brick walled shafts, crowned
by thin glass skylight and extending
through roof and with fire doors at
openings to stories. All vertical light
openings in such shafts should be

augment its severity. Buildings of
considerable area and having large
quantities of combustible contents
should be sub-divided by substantial
brick walls sufficient to form a posi-
tive barrier to the spread of fire.
5. Stair treads should preferably be
of iron or its equivalent. If slate or
marble treads are used they should be
supported by a metal plate under
meath.
S. A large portion of fuel for com.

as are necessary Cor occupancy.
Much of this can be avoided by the
use of substitutes for wood. or OF met.

Z. Nearly one-third OF the total

This case depends upon the same
contract and involves the same legal
principles as those controlling the de-
cision in the suit of Fannie Painter

this court, except that the plaintiff
here signed the contract.
For the reasons regarding the first
point stated in that opinion, the order
and judgment sustaining the demur-

versed and the case is remanded with
direction to the district court to fix
a time within which the defendant
will be allowed to answer.
