JOHN ARD FIRM TO QUIT.
Existence of Noted English Con
tracing Concern Ends Next Year.

The passing of one of the greatest con-
tracing firms in the world. John Aird &
Co. of London. is announced for next
year. The firm which damned the Nile
and carried out other great works
throughout the world will cease to exist
next September, by which time all out
standing contracts will have been com
pleted.
The decision to go out OF business has
been taken by the present Sir John Arid,
who succeeded his father in 1911, and in
herited from him fortune of over 5000,
CO., The reason given is that, while the
risks of contracting are as great as they
ever were, the profits are not nearly so
large as they were twenty or thirty years
ago. Great plants will be distributed and
a stan of engineers and workmen. who
are said to have no superiors will be
seeking new positions as result of the
action.
The firm removed Crystal Palace from
Hyde Park to its present site at Syden-
ham; built water and gas works all over
the country. as well as in Berlin Copen-
hagen. Russia. France. Italy, Denmark
and Brazil.
1t built and extended railways and con.
structed the Royal Albert East and West
Indian and Tilbury docks on the Thames
and later the Manchester ship canal. The
great docks at Avonmouth and Singapore
were created by them. but the damming
Of the Nile capped all their work.

STUDY MICHIGAN LAW
FOR CIVIC FEDERATION
Detroit Builders to Assist in
Gathering Information on
Employers Liability.

The department on compensation for in
dustrial accidents and their prevention of
the National Civic Federation Is making
an investigation of the scope and status
of the various compensation laws now in
force in the various states, and the De-
troit Builders and Trades Exchanges has
been asked to assist in gathering statis-
tics the operation of the Michigan
law.
OF all the individual employers operat-
ing under the Michigan act. those listed
under the head of construction take the
lead, both numerically and in number Of
employees engaged, and Michigan is one
of the twenty-five states that have adopt
ed compensation laws. in which the en-
ployers voluntarily come under it if they
desire, or remain under the old liability
law.
During the first year the Michigan law
was in effect compensation was paid in
over 10000 eases Of disability and only
eight cases went into the courts, those
mainly for the purpose of settling some
uncertain feature in the law.
TIE National Civic Federation aims to
prepare data on the subject. with view
of drafting a law which will be uniform
in all states.
Every member of the builders and trad
ers' Exchange who has elected to come
under the new compensation and liability
act will be asked by the Civic Federation
what his experience has been and what
he thinks of the operation Of the act.

TALL BUILDINGS MAKE
| LIGHTING EXPENSE BIG

Among those who recently appeared
before the heights of building advisory
commission in New York were number
of experts on lighting, whose testimony
tended to show what big factor in ex-
pense accounts electric lighting has be-
come as a result of the erection of sky
scrapers," how rapidly the lighting bill
Increases with the height of building.
Buildings with general height of
seventy-ive feet, fronting on an eighty
foot street, enjoy all the natural illumi-
nation required for general Office work.
Office work requires a light intensity OF
three candlepower square foot. An
increase in the general height of build
ing, in such a street from 20 to 260 feet
cuts off 80 per cent of its mean fux of
light to each square foot of building front.
In other words, it reduces the intensity
of it's natural light from three to three
tenths candlepower a square foot
Stated in terms of electrical current. the
natural light shut out by increased height
which has to be supplanted by artificial
means is equivalent to seven watts
square foot each day. In an office with
a floor area of 5000 square feet this
would mean a consumption of $500 watts
a day. With electricity selling at the rate
of cents a kilo such an office would
nave TO pay fo-OJ ii year IoT the d.
cial illumination made necessary on ac-
count of the excessive height of adjacent
buildings.
The net rentable floor area in the office
buildings below Chambers street, in Man
haitian, between Gold and Pearl streets
on the east and West Broadway on the
west, is about $4,000 900 square feet
Assuming that sone-fourth of this area
requires constant artificial illumination on
account of the natural light being shut
out by high buildings, the bill that the
owners of smaller structures in this dis
trict have to pay the electric lighting
companies on account of their loss of
natural light amounts TO $685.. 200 annu-
ally
