GARAGE TO HOUSE
SIXTY CARS WILL
Be EERECTED HERE
Bids Opened for Adams Ex-
press Company Build
ing in Washington.

II somebody had been so foolish,
about fifteen years ago. as to venture
the prophecy that some time in the
business organization would build a
garage larger than its main office. that
visionary individual would probably
have been laughed at and scoffed at
in the wisest manner by those who
hold eternally to the belief that the
business development of today has
reached its height. But this vision of
the dreamer is going to come to pass
right here in Washington within the
next few months.
Bids have been opened by Milburn,
Heister & Co., architects. for the con-
struction of a garage for the Adams Ex-
press Company, 100 by l45 feet. suf-
sixty large electric trucks without un-
due crowding. The bids have been for
warded to the headquarters of the COM
pany in New York, and the reply is
expected daily. Work on the new
structure Is expected to begin next
week.
Latest Electrical Equipment.
The site Of the big garage is on Third
street northeast, between L and N
streets, and the building will extend
through to Congress street.

structing similar garages in other large
cities, and the latest equipment in the
way of electrical charging plants and
other appliances are being installed. In

for electrical apparatus is twelve by
thirty feet, and will be completely fit
ted out. In addition to the special cleo
.rical room separate wires will be run
to each car.
Room for Employees.
In addition to the electrical room. there
will be repair and work room twenty
eight feet by fifty feet. There will also
be special rooms for the employees. The
building will be fireproof, the construc-
tion material being of steel and con-
crete, with brick, set in Flemish bond.

ADVOCATES UNION
Of TENANTS TO GET

F. w. Fitzpatrick Believes

A Tenants Union. to work along lines
similar to the labor unions and to

absolutely fireproof buildings, is ad-
vocated by +. w. Fitzpatrick, commits
sioner of the International Associa-
ton of Building Commissioners. in a

Mr.. Fitzpatrick, and he answers his
own questions: ITO produce incomes
for the owners: to bring in shekels

is made attractive to him in order that
he may come into it and stay in it
SO as to produce the aforesaid revenue.

Wants Fire.Proof Homes.
There are probably not over ten
buildings in the country that offer alb
solute safety TO the tenants as well
as protection to the interests of the
owner declares Mr. Fitzpatrick, whose
home at 900 sixteenth street has been
the subject Of much commendatory
comment on account of Its aosolutct
fireproof construction.
Mr.. Fitzpatrick makes light OF the
term "fireproof" as II is commonly used.
He claims that the owners of the large
office buildings al lover the country IN
troduce some fireproof features. but do
not attempt TO make the building abso-
lutel fireproof The features that are
fireproof. he says. apply to the exterior
walls of the structure, and not to the
interior. where the valuable papers and

Advises Tenants Union.
Mr.. Fitzpatrick says it can be done
that tenants can get absolute protection
from fire If they demand it. There is
fireproof building. and the tenants
snould unite IN tnelf ueInahus LOT such

What's the matter with a Tenants

the Home could then be used for
