In Awful Catastrophes I'm Case of
Blaze or Eartbauake-Insist Recent
Examples should BE Needed.

| Three OF the best-known experts in
| structural materials in this country have
reported to the Director OF the Geological
Survey that the apparent desire of owners
of buildings TO cheaper their construction
has created a condition of great peril
to nearly every big city in the United
States.
They say that great confagration. ac-
companied by the sacrifice Of human lives
aud the loss of millions OF dollars worth
OF property is possible: that the various
municipalities Of the country have not
prohted by the calamlties in Baltimore.
Chicago and San Francisco. and that
there is no such thing as a freproof build
ing.
Experts Make Inquiry.
An exhaustive investigation into present
building methods has been conducted for
the Geological Survey by Richard l..
Humphrey, in charge Of the Structural
Materials Division. and secretary % the
National Advisory Board on Fuels and
Structural Materials Frank Soule. dean
Of the College of Civil Engineering. Of the
University Of California. and Capt. John
s. Sewell. Engineer Corps. L. S. A. an
expert OF international reputation on FIRE
proof building construction.
II is charged that even San Francisco is
repeating the faults in construction that
caused her destruction. The EXPERTS
sound this warming:
When we can see plainly as We NAV.
looking backward. that nearly all of this
destruction and suffering might have been
prevented by wise foresight and provision.
we feel that we must send a warning 10
all the cities Of the world ANY city that
disregards this warning will be guilty Of
a great crime"
New York Buildings scored.
A shocking blow Is given to the New
York skyscrapers. Mr.. Humphrey reports
that the same defects are common there
and that II an earthquake Of the San
Francisco scope visited that city. the
loss Of life and property would be enor-
nous.
The experts claim that building may
be constructed 10 withstand fire and
earthquake They would construct It Of
steel frame. properly braced. They would
use concrete and reinforced concrete, and
cover all columns with an expanded metaf
basket or four inches OF brickwork laid
in cement, and all interior spaces filled
with concrete. and would provide fire
shutters for all exterior openings. and
have interior trim Of metal and windows
Of plate or wire glass
They recommend that wells and eleva-
tor shafts should be guarded by brick or
reinforced concrete walls. fitted with
double metal rolling doors, bolted through
the walls TO allow for expansion.
The floors should be Of concrete with
metallic mesh reinforcement. and interior
doors Of metal or metal covered.

Mr.. Sheehan, az the New Willard last

II IS known, however that several in
dependent telephone companies were or

years ago which received charters and
special franchises through the legislature

These companies advanced their indie

Ties thrown in their way by the original
New York concern, which, until the or
