BEAUTIFUL
WIND PRESSURE SPECIFIED
IN BUILDING CODES.
The Requirements Should Be Revised
and Made Uniform.

How 100 American cities specify
wind pressure for the design OF build
ings IL discussed in an article by X.
Fleming of the American Bridge com
pany of New York in the Engineering
News. The writer's conclusions are
summarized by him as follows:
1T might seem that our American
municipalities have exhausted the COM
binations of wind pressure and wind
stress that can be made. The fact
that one code differs from another Is
not In itself cause for criticism, but
code is decidedly at fault when it
contains absurd or needless require
ments or when its requirements are
not clearly expressed. To assume wind
pressure over large area at thirty
pounds per square foot and then TO
add the sectional area necessary to
resist wind stresses to that required
for live and dead loads is needless
Where this is specified in n code it Is
evaded in practice. 1t would be far
better TO make rational assumptions
and insist on rigid adherence to them
than to insert in code improbable
headings or working stresses that will
be ignored in actual construction.
THAT the need Of revision in our
building codes is being felt by the pub
lie is evidenced by the number now
being revised. Although our knowl-
edge of wind action Is limited. we
should be able to come nearer to a
common ground of requirement for
wind bracing than we have at present
AS Il basis for uniformity the writer
suggests the building ordinances of
Chicago. Tie paragraph on wind re-
sistnace reads:
"'All buildings shall be designed TO
resist a horizontal wind pressure of
twenty pounds per square foot for ey-
cry square foot of exposed surface. In
no case shall the overturning moment
due to wind pressure exceed 10 per
cent of the moment of stability of the
building due to the dead load only
'The paragraph relating to wind
stress reads:
For stress produced by wind forces,
combined with those from live and
dead loads the unit stress may he In
creased 30 per cent over those given
above, but the section shall not be less
than required if wind forces be neg

Thursday, September 9, 1915.

The secretary of state has sent out
general letter to town officials cal
ling their especial attention to that
provision of the Vermont statutes
which reads as follows:
Sec. 4O9S. Notice of conviction:
SUBSEQUENT offenses. A court con-
victing a person Of violating provis-
ion of this chapter shall forthwith
notify the secretary of state of such
conviction, with the number or mark
of the automobile or motor vehicle Of
such convicted person and all other
information obtained. Such informa-
ton shall be recorded by the secre-
tary of state in his office; and it, at
any time, it appears that a person has
been convicted of a first offense in
more than one court in this state,
each conviction subsequent to the
date of the first one shall he deemed
a subsequent ofiense, and such person
shall he subject to further prosecu-
tion thereto.
Secretary Bailey supplements this
by saying that he would appreciate
receiving the report of any convic-
tions, so that il the facts seem to war
rant the license of the operator may
be suspended. -Brattleboro Reform
e.
Proprietors of garages, more than
others, are in positions to assist in
the enforcement of the laws regulat-
ing the operation of automobiles. The
proprietors and the men in their en-
ployment naturally are better inform
ed than persons who operate individ-
ual cars for their own use. The gar
age men, in order to protect their
business for the future, should agitate
the enforcement of the law by all us
ers of cars 1t is frequently intimat-
ed that the state automobile depart
ment is losing tidy little sum
through failure On the part OF many
automobile owners to keep up their
LICENSE fees. Then again it is intim-
ated that cars are being operated in
Vermont for good portion of the
year on licenses taken out in other
states where the fees are not so
large.
