Plenty Of Natural Light.

Now as 10 the light requirement. There
are scores Of rapidly growing houses
which could not get along unless every
mart of their office or work rooms were
brilliantly lighted. The wants OF such
concerns are supplied TO the fullest eX-
tent I'm this respect. Every etfort mas
been made to have an abundance OF
natural light freely entering the puH"-
ing. Here and there I'm most districts
will be seen many new loft and once
structures surrounded by low buildings
MANY of the smaller structures were
bought for the purpose OF insurins hatu-
raj rfht in the larger building peS'ues

1t cost a stupendous sum to meet the
growing wants Of business houses ana
the users Of Offices. But expert knowi-
edge has made II possible to create ne"
industrial and office centres with
SQUARE foot rate OF space lower wheh
all things are considered than In the ola
antiauated districts of similar classih-
cation.
The old loft building and ONCE struc.-
ure have few conveniences. Inc Hou'
ern one numerous. Among them are
ADEQUATE entrances on all sides OF the
building. large. spacious halls many
messenger elevators and others Tor
freight purposes, all Of the most up-'o'
date type: mail chutes. vacuum clean
ers. electricity for light and power ser
vice and everything for the requirement
of the occupant
Cement. hollow bricks and steel sKeie'
ton frames have resulted in adding 70
the freproof qualities Of lofts and ofiices
These materials have so reduced insur'
ance rates that the cost OF yeariS
premiums in the newer loft ana ONO,
centres is much smaller than In the o,c
and more familiar places OF this Kihd Il

II must not be forgotten that the piuthO

Another great feature Of the modern
loft and Office building is the use Of noise-
proof material. In other words, the parti-
tions dividing one office or work room
from another are not fiimsily put up, but
are solid and so constructed that very
little sound can penetrate from the halls
into the Offices or workrooms There are
hundreds OF modern lofts erected with
In recent years in this city having many
thousand employees daily at work under
one roof. person stepping into any OF
the main or side halls would not be
aware of these facts, and II he fingered
until the noon hour or quitting time he
would be amazed that so many people
could be brought together without nerve
racking sounds resulting.
Smaller Insurance Rolls.
Another factor which has tended to
keep down office and loft rentals is the
ability to build higher. In the old days
there were not many lofts over six stories
In height. In fact, those of that height
were considered massive structures.
To-day there are some hundreds of loft
structures twelve stories or more, with
frontages OF about block or a little less.
The rapid transit underground system
Is considered by most real estate experts
as most responsible for the northward
drift of business. Visiting buyers are now
able to get 10 almost every section OF the
city easily and quickly, and therefore
they do not hesitate to go from the old
familiar places from downtown New
York.

THE MODERN BUILDING.
Advantages 1t Has for Lofts
and Offices.

The building progress in the greater
city in the last fifteen years is PLAIN
ly reflected in the model up-to-date lou
and office structure. This Is the age
Of building for special service. For In
stance. there are many commercial
houses that require a fast elevator serv-
ice in the morning in order to get their
inbound and outbound freight handled IN
the best manner. On the other hand
there are many thousand concerns when
do not require such an elevator service
and their needs as regard elevator service
are generally supplied by an ordinary

was explained by Mr. Herbert that a
part of the loss on toll business should
not be charged to Your city, by reason
of the fact that considerable toll plant
in Gardiner is devoted to through BUSH
ness.
Upon this point the company desires to
say that the figures presented To your
board were honestly compiled from its
books: that they We're intended to show
and do show as accurately as possible
in 1910, and that the figures for 1911 which
are now available also show the receipt
of insufficient revenue from exchange
service to meet the expense of furnish
ing that service to your community.
An inspection of the books and youch-
ers of the company which are open to
You and your committee, would have
demonstrated that the basis of compa-
tation was an actual inventory of prop
erty in Gardiner made under the drec.
ton of the Ma sachusetts Highway

watered stock or capitalization of
citation and that there was no ''mis-
representation as to facts" or employ
ment of misleading methods

for residential service should have that
service at the rate of $500 per year, and
the service would include Augusta and

did so without authority, ana without
