TO SKY
SCRAPERS

Berlin. Oct. 1.-THE Prussian ministers
OF public works the interior and COM
merce have just rejected a petition for
the erection Of 'skyscrapers. in PrussiaP
cities.
The petitioners pointed out that the
present limitation OF the height RI the
buildings In Berlin TO "a feet Is unneces-
sary in view of modern methods OF steel
construction.
The ministers answered that the danger
OF fire had not been removed through
steel framing, citing cases in the United
States where people on the high upper
stories could not be rescued when fre
broke out in the lower stories, and show
ing that IL was impossible 20 set water
so high 20 extinguish the flames. Further
more, the ministers, said the removal OF
the present restrictions would inauglrtte
wild real estate speculation. The asso-
citation does not intend to let the matter
rest with the answer OF the ministers and
will endeavor to have them reverse Il.
The association Is backed up by the
opinions OF a number OF German experts
who assert that all the demands OF the
fire proof quality Of high buildings can
be satisfied through the American steel
frame system.
