Expert Makes interesting OBJ
SerVati0nS on Expense of
Renewing Structures.
COST WILL NOT BE GREAT
DETAILED REPORT MADE BY
CARL LEONARDT.

Carl Leonardo, an expert on freproof
buildings, has visited San Francisco
since the fire and has made a report
which is being sent out by the Cali
fornia Fruit Growers association of
Los Angeles. He says:
From the point Of view of the archi-
tect and builder, my trip to San Fran
cisco was one of absorbing interest. All
of my Investigations confirmed me in
my convictions of the absolute safety
of the modern steel structure. The
prevailing type of fireproof building in
San Francisco is the steel frame, with
cement or concrete floors, or expanded
metal floors and walls. That will be
the type of building, undoubtedly, in
the restored city.
Reinforced concrete, such as we
have in Los Angeles, would stand the
test just as well in every particular,
but the materials and labor supply in
San Francisco favor the former All
little damaged. and capable of being
restored Immediately and at compare
lively little cost.
Perhaps the greatest popular inter-
est centers about the Call building I
examined that first of all. 1t is perfect
ly sound and safe. The damage was
done through flames soaring UP
through the elevator shaft and commu-
nicating through their heat to the Of

The Monadnock building! The dy-
namiting of that magnificent building
was one of the most absurd and ridicu-
lous features of the whole fire.
helped build that building myself. and
know what it was. But they couldn't
destroy it even by dynamiting. The
floors are still in perfect condition. In
construction it is the same type as the
H. w Hellman building in this city,
and would stand against all earth
quakes and fires. 1t can be restored
for 1900.
The Merchants Exchange building
was little damaged save for the interior
finishing, but it is a huge building and
to restore it completely would cost
about SIPS coo.
THE Hayward building, fourteen
stories high, is a magnificent example
of the fine way i'm which these big
buildings stood the test. In many of
its offices not even the furniture was
injured, although it was directly in the
path of the fire. 1t can be restored for
about $4,000.
The Paramount hotel. contrary to
universal report, was little damaged
except where the flames spoiled the
granite and the huge columns. The
damage ought not to exceed Sc. 900.
But the mansions on the hill about
1.-THE Flood, Fair. Crocker ana Towne
residences-are nothing but a mass of
ruins.
1.-THE st. Francis hotel stood the test
well. The furniture caused consid-
cradle fire to rage within it's walls. but
the building ought to be restored for

ought to demonstrate to the public that
the loss to the fireproof buildings is
comparatively very light"
