Birmiss..m's sAinxle Roof.

The worst shinsle roofs l have ever
seen in my life commented a Chicago
representative of lumber interests who
was in the city recently. in speaking
of the agitation here in regard to fire
hazards.
''rhe shingles on these roofs here in
Birmingham curl straight up. l can't
ina gine what Is the cause They not
only become great fire spreadcrs, but
would think they would not even turn
water. 1t evidently Is the climatic con-
dition. have heard it said it is the
| sulphur from the furnaces of the district.
but this is not the case In other cities
where there are just as many furnaces as
there are here. One or two cases I
would attribute to poor shingles, but here
it seems to be practically all of the shin
gle roofs.
| 1T is a serious problem and one which
| Birmingham will have to face squarely
| sooner or later. Shingles and wood will
| never be discarded as building materials,
] believe. Better housekeeping and en-
forcement of stringent laws in regard
to negligence in the fire risks is the only
way to handle tho Are problem. That 8
the way it is handled in European coun-
| tries, where In spite of all reports to
the contrary, they use much wood and
shingles in their construction. There they
follow the line Of letting man build
out Of what he pleases, to a large ex-
tend. but they get after him hard if he
has fire. Any little bit of negligence
In this way carries with II q prison
sentence and q heavy hne and the bur.
den Of proof IL on the defendant. That
why their are loss Is much lower than
come to sooner or later.
