reduced from sixty to forty pounds a
square foot. The result OF this Is h
In residence buildings the sizes of wood
beams used hereafter will remain practi-
cally tho same as heretofore. The al
lowable loads on steel, cast iron and
wcod columns have been changed TO
conform more nearly with the present
generally accepted practice.
Article 4 on classification OF buildings
Is a new article. dividing buildings ac-
cording to occupancy into public build
ings, residence buildings and business
buildings and according to construction
into freproof. non-ireproCf and frame.
II was found sometimes difficult TO draw
the limo hetween buildings of different
classes so far as occupancy Is concerned.
In general II may he said tina residence
buildings are buildings in which people
sleep public buildings are buildings in
which the public, either voluntarily or
~involuntari!y, congregates for different
purposes, including court houses. thea.
tres. churches and schools and institu-
lions for the care. treatment or legal
detention of persons. Business buildings
include. under the article. all other
buildings. among them office buildings.
factories and stables. The provisions
a. TO what constitute fireproof. non-fre-
proof and frame buildings are practi-
cally those applying TO those types of
construction heretofore.
Article 8. entitled restricted areas,
covers the fire limits and also n new
restricted zoAe designated as suburban
limits. The fire limits In Manhattan,
The Bronx and Brooklyn and Queens
have been extended and the new limits
defined. The suburban limits section
applies 10 Manhattan, where II includes
all that part OF the borough not within

ings under this new law are to be de-
signed more in accordance with the
practice OF the present day in that their
sizes are determined more by the amount
of the dead oad than the live loads
l,that come on them. In other words.
| the same principle is applied to footings
as has been heretofore recognized in the
design of columns, namely. that the
entire live o assumed on floors
\ throughout the building Is never realized
on columns OF footing.
The article also provides for the condi-
tions under which concrete piles of diff
ferent types may be used in building
construction. continuing also the present
provisions for wood piles. TIL pro-
| visions regarding concrete piles are sub
stantially those now contained In the
rules of the Superintendent OF Buildings.
The Old rule OF thumb method of fixing
the thickness of retaining walls has been
replaced by a provision permitting the
app ~lication of engineering principles to
the design of such walls.
Article 10 on masonry construction is
one of those hat were passed at the
last meeting Of the board. The most
striking change perhaps. and one over
which there was more or less contro-
vcrsy, is the provision allowing the use
of hollow building blocks for the cx-
! terror walls of buildings of less thar
forty feet in height and in buildings OF
skeleton construction, provided they are
faced with at least four inches OF brick
work. The present practice as TO the
thicknesses of Walls is continued with
some few minor changes. except that in
buildings of skeleton construction twelve
inch walls may he used throughout the
entire height OF the building. rs against
the old provision requiring an increase
of thickness in such walls in the lower
sections of buildings more than seventy
five feet in height.
Article IL deals with the requirements
and details of iron and steel construc-
ton. II specifies the main requirements
for the Workmanship In the manufacture
of cast iron columns, steel columns and
beams and other shapes that enter into
general building construction, and II
provides for the safe assembling of
these parts in setting up the steel
frames. In the matter of steel construc-
ton it practically continues the old
practice. but in cast iron construction it
places certain limitations which have
been found desirable, the more I'm
portant OF which liz that casa iron
columns shall not be used when loads are
80 eccentric as to cause tension in the
column or when wind stresses must be
taken into account.
Article 10 IL n new article providing
for reinforce concrete construction.
The provisions Of this article are in
substance those Of the existing rules of
tho superintendent of Buildings and
with the exception of somewhat larger
loads allowed on spirally reinforced
columns, nc change is mad In the
present practice.
Article II on fireproof construction

ested in the growth and upbuilding of
The city the Board Of Aldermen has
adopted a code which. according to the
views of the best authorities, meets fully
the requirements OF a city of the size
and complexity Of New York. The code
is the work of Rudolph p. Miller,
who was relieved of his office OF Super
%intendent of Buildings that he might
undertake 1t. ably assisted by many of
The leading men Of the city who are
engaged I'm designing and erecting build
ings and in making materials for them.
Real estate interests have been rep
resented in the new code making by
a selected committee from the Advisory
Council.
Practically every section of the old
code has been changed materially.
Ordinances that have so far been
adopted in revised form. with the prin-
c!pal changes, are as follows:
Article . or materials Of construction
governs the strength, weight and quality
Of materials. The specifications for each
material are brief and expressed in
plain language. Wrought iron is not
provided for. as IT is no longer manu-
featured for structural purposes. but
second hand shapes Of this material are
permitted when in good condition. The
article provides for tests under the di-
rection of the Superintendent of Build
ings for new materials or materials not
provided for specifically in the chapter.
Fol several of the materials of CON
sttuction. unless the rules of the super
~intendents prescribe specifications. the
standard specifications of the American
Society for Testing Materials are des-
ignated TO apply. Among the materials
Of construction provided for in this new
code and not heretofore recognized are
hollow building blocks. both of terra
Gotta and concrete.
Article 2 prescribes the workins
stresses for the different materials OF
construction and the minimum loads tina,
must be assumed for floors used for diff
ferent purposes. Generally speaking the
working stresses heretofore prescribed
however. the working stresses on the
timbers ordinarily used are raised above
those of the old code. The stresses pre-
scribed by the old rod were so low that
in several OF the boroughs OF the city they
were, as "A matter of practice. disre-
garded n the stresses used which had
been prescribed by the old law Of 1892
but which were Unfortunately high. II
Il were not for the fact that floors
IN residence buildings are not headed
To the extent assumed by the old build
ing ode there might have been serious
results from this practice. The increase
in the working stresses Is offset in the
matter Of residence buildings by "A re-

contains provisions which In previous
attempts at revision have generally
given the most trouble. Most of the
provisions OF the article represent eN-
isting practice, though not all embodied
in the old law. The greatest interest in
this article naturally centres around the
forms Of construction permitted for fire.
proof floors. Brick arches. constructed
AZ heretofore required, are provided for,
In the case OF terra Gotta arches the
required depth OF the arch blocks for
fiat construction has been somewhat re-
duced from the present practice. but an
increased depth in the blocks and an in
crease In the thickness OF shells and
webs IL required according as the load
to he carried is increased. Arches of
terra Gotta reinforced with steel. not
heretofore recognized in the law, are
now provided for. For concrete floor
arches both stone and cinde concrete
are accepted. "A difference, however. being
made in the carrying capacity of the
| arches when these two materials are
used, Under this article 1t IL no longer
necessary to determine by test the carry
ing capacity of cinde concrete arches
when they vary In span and in thick
ness or the amount of reinforcement, AS
a method OF calculating strength of these
! arches is provided. This allows both
owners and contractors a greater free
| dom in the use OF cinder concrete.
Other forms OF construction which are
not provided for MAJ still be used under
this article, provided that they meet
fire and load tests prescribed in the
article. No material change has been
made in the existing practice as to the
use of fireproofed wood In buildings over
$50 feet In height. the only difference
between this and the old law being
that hereafter the sleepers. door buck
and grounds when not exposed on any
side need not be treated to max Them
fireproof.
Article % on plumbing and other sys-
TENS of piping was among the first Of
the articles to be revised n adopted.
The rules heretofore governing the
installation of plumbing are con
tinued, as Is also the method here
toforc in vogue OF amending and
repeating them, but It is decla red
to be unlawful hereafter to use any
plumbing or gas piping installed con
trary to the rules governing this class
of work. The article gives jurisdiction
to the Superintendents OF Buildings over
other forms of piping throughout the
buildings where 1t IL found to be neces-
sary for the protection Of life. health or
property.
OF the other articles of the building
code one or elevators il still in COM
mittee three have been under discus
sion for some time In their preliminary
form three will probably be changed
very slightly. One. on heights of build
ings, Is left. In accordance with the
opinion Of the Corporation Counsel. to
the Bonrd Of Estimate. leaving eleven
articles which will require more or less
attention.
