MAY HAVE SKYSCRAPERS
AS HIGH AS 100 STORIES

An eminent New York engineer and
practical builder who has to his credit
many Of the finest skyscrapers Of the
metropolis. states that a IO0-story build
ing. built of re-enforced concrete and
towering more than 1000 feet from the
ground, may yet be seen by people who
are living and even reached middle life.
The fifty-story buildings. which arc
now being seriously considered as a
future possibility, will constitute tut a
stepping stone to the seventy-nve-stOry
buildings, and then to the 10o-story
buildings. The principal drawback which
now presents itself is said % be the
impossibnity Of providing elevator ac-
commodations for even a hfty-story
Building, for the reason that the
weight OF the cable to support the car
in the numerous thirty-story buildings
now in commission is enormous, and
some other method Of utilizing the up
per floors will have to be invented and
introduced before the slxyscraper can be
built any higher. The limits Of the
elevator, as understood at this time.
have been already reached.

The Columbia Brick company has pur-
chased at Berwyn, Nd, twenty-five
acres covering the finest sand deposit

This was all the instructions that
Architect W. S. PLACER received He
was given the size OF the lot and the
probable amount TO be extended and was
told to go ahead and do his best The re-
suit is shown IN the accompanying sketch
Of the house which is now being erected
at 1870 New Hampshire avenue north
west, and which when completed viii
add another neat and coy house to
that locality.
But the architect AYERS that the OK
terror Of the house is not its strongest
point, as he made special efforts to
adapt the Interior TO the wishes OF a
client who would appreciate all the little
niceties and conveniences Of a house
that was built 10 live in, rather than
one simply built TO reside IN.
The design OF the house is not one
that belongs to any particular school Of
architecture. but is a composite of sew
eral types that fit in neatly and taste
fully so as 20 furnish a harmonious and
pleasing whole.

BUILDING PERMITS
FOR ELEVEN HOUSES

Permits have been issued to the
Washington Building Company for the
erection Of eleven two-story brick dwell
ings at 412O to n4O Seventh street, Pet
worth. that are estimated to cost about
$500 each. The plan of the houses was
drawn by Architect VIM. J. Palmer. who
has Incorporated several new and origin
al ideas that viii appeal at once 70

have number of pleasing little cOnven-
fences so dear to the feminine mind.
The same company took out permit
u build six two-story brick dwellings
at 1905 TO 4O15 Ninth street on a part of
the same subdivision. The total cost
OF these houses is placed at $4,000.
In both cases the Building and Supply
Corporation have contracted to do the
work and they expect to push it for
ward TO an early completion. The 10
cality round about Petworth for a time
was quite dormant, but latterly there
has been a decided revival of building
interest and no section is now more fav-
ored fer moderate priced homes.
