Steel Structures Buckled and
Their Contents Destroyed
by Flames

Representative Sheppard Of Texas.
chairman OF the House committee on
public buildings and grounds. declared
today, As a result of the test made yes
rerday in the court of the Senate office
building. that the records Of the United
States are inadequately projected by the
file cases in general use at present by
the government
During the test one wooden and four
steel file cases were included in q big
bonfire
The test was absolutely fair said
MIR. Sheppard. and demonstrates the
need of immediate reform III the manner
of purchasing file cases for government
records.
The file eases tested were placed close
together in the middle of the court and
over them ] 800 feet of wooden joists was
piled with a lot of kindlinS wood and
excelsior for good measure and to help
the blaze along. The pile was then
drenched with coal oil and set on fire.
After the blaze had burned itself out
amncd. The steel case now used by the
government had huckled and its con
tents had been destroyed. The frame
work was warped The wooden case
had been CONSUMED and the contents in
Generated. The other three cases were
charrcd externally, and in two cases. the
contents had been somewhat scorChed,
but not enough to do any serious damage
had the records been of value.
1t is proha Die that as a result of tie
test the committee will endeavor to have
regulations put in force governing the
purchased by the government in the fu-
tuTe.
