CONFINED TOFOURW WALLS
Commissioner Brownlow States Rec.
ord Here for Past Nine Years at
Builders Luncheon.

During the past nine years there has
not been a single fire in the District
which has spread from the four walls
within which it started. Such was the
statement made today before the
Builders and Manufacturers Exchange
al luncheon, by Commissioner Brown
low, who urged the exchange to CO.
operate in plan for holding fire pre-
vention day in this city next fall.
The fact that rone of the fires have
spread or have got beyond control is
a compliment not only to the District
fire department, but the character OF
building work done here. Had the con-
struction work not been Of the best
character, this record would not have
been made. Commissioner Brownlow
called attention to the fact that dur
ing the past year most of the fires in
the District had been in business prop
erty. The fires, he said, have been for
large part caused by carelessness.
Maj. Kutz, Engineer Commissioners.
spoke on the District building regula-
tions. 1t is desired, he said, to estab-
lish high standard for building regu-
lations in the District of Columbia, but
not to create a set of rules which will
prevent a poor man from owning a
home. Mai. kutz urged the builders
to place before the Commissioners any
suggestions for changes in the building
