control There Iare two stairways in
side, one stair fire escape, standpipe
outside and one inside with hose reef
| on each floor.
Much careful consideration has been
given to the heating and ventilating
of the building and the automatic tenn
perature control. The building will be
heated by two large cast iron sectional
steam boilers of the Cripps down draft
smokeless design, in connection with
low pressure gravity system OF
steam heating and a Paul air line
vacuum system. Fresh air for ventila-
ton is provided for the banking apart
ments and all Offices throughout the
building. the air being taken from out
doors through a Kinnealy air washer,
which removes all dus: and other i'm
purities, when it is passed through
a system of steam coils to a large fan
operated by electric motor which
forces the air into all the various
apartments.
A similar fan and motor is placed in
the attic, which exhausts all foul air
from the building, thereby keeping III.
atmosphere as near perfect as it Is
mechanically possible to do. The TEN
perature of the building is held at a
uniform point, regardless of the out
door weather conditions. as each radi-
ator in the building as we'll, as the
coils for ventilation in basement are
controlled automatically by the Ma
tional" system of automatic tempera-
ture control, there being thermostats
placed in every room in the building
which automatically control the valves
on radiators by the temperature of the
room in which they are placed.
The ventilating system is also SO
arranged that in the summer if it is
desired TO lower the temperature in
the building to point considerably |
lower than the outdoor atmosphere, it |
can be accomplished and the temper |
ature of the building can be reduced |
to point about ten or fifteen degrees /
higher than the temperature of the /
city water which flows through the air |
washer and as much moisture may |
be introduced with the entering air at |
any time as may be desired and should !
u be further desirable in warm wealth
er to reduce the temperature of the
entering air still lower it may be read
lily accomplished by the introduction of
ice into the air washer.

AMERICANS PREPARE
TO RESUME BUSINESS
Refugees in Vera Cruz Will Return TO
Their Former Residences in Various
Parts of Mexico.

VERA CRUZ, Mexico, july f6-With
the resignation of Gen Huerta from the
provisional presidency Of Mexico, there IS
among the American and other foreign
refugees here every evidence of an imme
date movement to return to the capital
and other points in the interior where
their abandoned interests are awaiting at
tention.
Many Americans who came to Vera
Cruz during the general exodus and re-
fused to proceed further pending an adj
justment in the affairs Of Mexico have ex-
pressed their intentions of returning and
are making preparations to leave at once
for their former homes.
The ravages of the revolutionists will be
removed by the probable resumption of
oil shipments from the Tampico district,
and the consequent reestablishment Of
freight service, which has been practically
abandoned for months for lack Of fuel oil.
Reports from the interior have indicated
gradual resumption of work in the min
ing camps, and officials of several of the
companies here have received word that
their plants are ready to begin operations.
