BARRIERS TO REDUCE LOSSES.

1t is to be doubted whether there is
a single instance where q strictly rein
forced concrete building has been de-
stroyed by fire, says Cement Age. Fires
have taken place In several, resulting
in damage TO contents. but not to the
buildings. Moreover. there Is positive
proof of the fact that they have
stopped the spread OF flames from
within. and in several cases have
served as an effectual barrier against
fire extending beyond tho limits of the
building in which il started II we are
to accept the behavior of these build
ings as proof OF the value of that type
of construction from the fire-reslstlng
standpoint, city or a district COM
posed entirely OF reinforced concrete
buildings with protected openings
would mean the elimination of prac-
tically all this heavy tax except that
paid for protection to contents or
losses therein. Even this tax would
be greatly reduced IL we are to judge
by experience with reinforced con-
crete buildings. for in several instances
fires in structures of that type have
been confined to the room or depart
ment in which they originated.
