EQUITABLE BUILDING IN NEW
YORK WILL COST THIRTY MIL
LION DOLLARS-NEW RECORD.

New York, oct. 20.-New York city,
noted for its skyscrapers and magniii'
cent business buildings, is about to
establish a new record by the erec-
tion of the largest and costliest office
building in the world The record.
breaking structure, the new Equita.
Bile building, will occupy the block
between Broadway and Nassau street
and between Pine and Cedar streets,
in the heart of the business center Of
lower Manhattan. 1t is estimated that
the building, when completed, will rep
resent an outlay of $30,000,000, The
contractors have already begun the
work of boring and blasting the way
to rock bottom removing all the old
granite and concrete remains of the
former foundations of the Equitable
building which was destroyed by fire
a few years ago. This work is nee
essary to make room for III caissong
which are to be sunk to a depth of
eighty-One feet below the street lev
ell. Such a mighty structure must
needs have a solid foundation of
rock when it is comprehended that it
will weigh 100000 tons as against 1O3,-
600 for the Woolworth building 80.
500 fer the Metropolitan building,
1SS,500 tons for the Municipal building,
and $4,000 for the Singer building. it
will be granted that the caissons must
be absolutely perfect to carry the
burden. They will be of reinforced
concrete and will rest directly upon
solid rock

New Record in Tons.

Some idea of what is required in the
construction of a building of the size
and type of the new Equitable NAV
be derived from the fact that $4,000
tons of steel will be used in its con.
struction, against $4,000 tons in the
Woolworth building, which established
new record in the number of tons
used in putting up a building The
building will have 152 steel support.
ing columns and the weight of the
heaviest column will be thirty-two
tons.
One Of the most interesting features
of the building will be that the struc-
ture is to be divided into what in
reality is four separate buildings
Each of these buildings or sections
will have separate shafts for carry.
ing the electric light wires, telephone
wires and the fire connections with
the two 1880 gallon tanks on the
thirty-eighth floor, the two 5000 gallon
tanks on the sixteenth floor and the
pipes from the street up through
which water can be forced at high
pressure. BY this system, if through
some unavoidable accident fire
should break out in any one of the
different sections, the other sections
will be entirely isolated by the fire
walls and will not be affected in the
least.

CONSIDER CAMPAIGN PLANS
National Council of Women Voters Meets in Washington for Three
 Day Session.

Washington, Aug. 14.-Plans for the campaign for women's votes in 1914 are being laid at a conference of lead CTS of the National Council of Women Voters here. The meeting will con- tinue in session for three days. It is being attended only by women from states where equal suffrage is now on the statute books. Mrs. Emma Smith De Voc of Tacoma, Wash, is presid- ing.
 Although the conference is pri- marily to decide on plans for 1914 a public meeting and banquet to adver- tise the fight for the cause will be held today. A number of states will vote on the suffrage question next year, and members of the Women Voters league want to outline all cam. paign work immediately and arrange for speakers. Mrs. De Voc will confer today with Representative Henry, chairman of the house rules commit. tee, before which body the woman suffrage amendment to the federal constitution has been presented.
 The 100 delegates present represent 4,000,000 women of Oregon, Califor- mia, Washington, Colorado, Arizona, Wyoming, Kansas, Utah and Idaho, the states having full and complete woman suffrage.
