ANCIENT ROME TENEMItNTS.
Were OFTEN 100 Feet augustus
Limited Them to 6S Feet.

It is the common belief that the
tenement house is a development OF
recent times. This IS not correct. for
the tenement Is one of the oldest types
Of buildings In the world. They were
IN Rome during its spr'udor and were
so tall that many times they topplcd
over, killlnS the inmates and those in
adjoining houses.
Emperor Augustus having been
moved hy the Joss ~ several hundred
people through the collapse Of tene-
ments ordered that tn the future
houses should not be taller than six
ty-eight feet. which IS equivalent TO
six stories. Up 10 that time tene-
ments were run up 100 feet and more
and on streets that were not much
wider than alleys.
In the writings Of one Roman he
refers e. a neiEhbor who had 90 climb
Zoo steps 70 his garnet. \ build ng u
this type ia NV York dozen years
ago would have been spoken OF as a
skyscr1per. Except apartment houses
served hy elevators there isn't a teua-
mert II this height In the city. Six
stories Is as high as they are built
Few people could be induced To walk
higher aud besides the law covering
e. fAlltl4l4- NA lIlNA AtaHs4A IN rA'|l tto ls
such that 1t would be- Improbable to
build.
Just when the first mulu-famlly
tenement was built Is not known. but
Roman history speaks Of Emperor
Otho being delayed on his march
against Nitellus r. CO A. II. by the
ruins II teueu-nts. There were tvcn-
" miles Of ruins. ThrouEh had con-
struction the buildings had fallen
down. row after row. This was a
regular occurrence until Emperor
Augustus limited their hecht.
There used to be companies In
Rome for tearing up buildings that
showed ind tcat.Ons Of falling They
were kept susy. Failing tenemeuts
were one Of the great dangers Of
Rome in days II Othu.
