TO PROTECT MEN
ON SCAFF0LDS
Important Changes in Build
ing Law Proposed.

An elaborate revision Of the building
regulations Of the District Of Columbia,
with various amendments designed for
the protection Of persons engaged In and
about structures, was introduced in the
House yesterday in the form Of bin
by Representative Buchanan, Of Illinois.
The measure goes minutely into safety re-
quirements in connection with floor
strength and specifies safeguards for
workmen using scaffolding. 1t is required
that scaffolding twenty feet from the
ground shall have a S4-inch safety rail
and be moored in such manner as not
to sway. 1t also requires that there be
an extra scaffolding 16 feet below a main
scaffold when the same is erected at
height Of 80 feet.
The building inspector of the District,
according to the terms of the measure,
is given full authority to enter buildings
and to command the fulfilment of the
regulations specified in the proposed law.
An important amendment to the present
law proposed in the bill imposes a fine
on architects who fail to include safety
features prescribed in the law in their
plans of buildings.
