contributed very largely to the salvation
OF the building they thus effectively
guarded. Witness the post office, the ap-
praisers' warehouse and the mint. for In
stance.
Regarded as Theories.
Men versed In the proper construction of
buildings, boards Of underwriters, fre-pre-
vention societies, etc, have preached ASST
duousiy along these lines, but people pre-
sumably have deemed such things theories
Preaching Is never half as effective as q
tangible demonstration-an actually, SO to
speak. Here. then, Is the greatest fire that
has even been witnessed by men in our
time. and here they can clearly see the
supposed theories OF experts actually car
ried out. True, no one building was COM
plete and perfect, but these various de-
tails that did their work so well are there,
intact, In their several buildings, where
even the most doubling of Thomases can
see them and what they have done with
his own eyes.
rs 1t not reasonable to assume that an
Intelligent people will be impressed by this
great lesson and will demonstrate their In
telligence and adaptability by assembling
these various details together and making
building that will in reality be absolutely
freproof: that Will be its own insurance
against loss; that Will be safeguard to the
community and Individual, a. municipal and
personal economy. building that will be
drepfoof IN design as well as In eonstruc-
ton, standard American type to which
our cities will little by little conform, to the
absolute e Elimination of nhagra lions and
their attendant appalling losses?'

Property by Fire in the
United States.
FEW WELL-BUILT STRUCTURES

The whole world was shocked at the stu
pendous losses and suffering consequent
upon the San Francisco earthquake and
fire, but there will be some cause for con-
graduation If as one of the results of that
disaster the attention of the people through
out-the whole country is called to the ne
cessity of improved building methods and
thorough fireproof construction.
On behalf Of the International Society of
State and Municipal Building Commission
ers and Inspectors. of which organization
he is the consulting architect. and at the
instance of the government and OF a num-
Der Of technical journals, Mr.. T. w. Fitz-
patrick Of this city recently made thor
ough investigation of conditions in the de-
stroyed city with particular reference to
the character OF construction of the build
ings wholly or in part ruined, and has
embodied in his report number Of sug-
gestions that are regarded as reasonable
and timely.
In view of his Investigations Mr.. Fftz-
patrick was asked to give his Views as to
the lessons of the disaster tn respect of
improved construction and has made the
following statement:

One Of the Nebraska railroads, hav-
ing mileage upwards of 1000 miles
in the state, shows net earnings, above
all expenses, taxes included, of $500
per mile last year. Still the railroad
refuses to pay its taxes upon a valua-
ton for assessment purposes many
millions too low in comparison with
the assessment Of other property.
The conduct Of the Nebraska railroads
in refusing to pay their taxes is the
most foolish move that we have ever
known them to make They are pros
pering and piling up profits beyond
the dreams of averice, and yet re-
fuse to pay their taxes.
