SAFEGUARDS IN
BUILDING CODE
Sidewalk Shed Required
for Operations of Over
Forty Feet.
NEW PROVISIONS FOR
SNORING PREMISES
Structure That Is Being Sup
ported Must Be Properly Pro-
tected Against Weather.

One Of the articles of the Building
Code revision now being made by ku-
dolph =. Miller, expert to the building
Committee of the Board of Aldermen,
namely article 10, deals with safe
guards during construction or demoh-
ton. II has Just been issued IN prelim-
mary form.
The principal one of these safeguards
is what is known as the sidewalk shed,
which will be required in the case oil
any building operation over 40 feet IN
height or the raising of an existing
building to a greater height than 10
feet. The provisions, however, Will not
apply when such building sets back
more than ten feet from the building
line. The details of the construction oil
such sheds, which are for the protection
of pedestrians, are not given, but are
left to the superintendent of buildings.
Such sheds must be maintained during
the entire building operation until the
building is inclosed. and must extend
from the building line out to the curb
They must be lighted at night. "A SIM
liar shed is required in the case oil any
building over forty feet in height when
is being demolished. In this case the
shed. however, need not be maintained
after the building has been removed
to within twenty feet of the curb.
When a sidewalk shed is not re-
ouired and the building operation CON
sists of new construction or material
alteration to a building the space IN
front of the building must be inclosed
by fence of wood or other suitable
material at least eight feet high. Such
a fence may extend into the highway
a distance of not exceeding three feet.
II must be solid for its full length ex-
cept for such openings as are neces-
sary to properly carry on the building
operation. The openings, however,
must be provided with either sliding
doors or doors swinging inward. An
exemption may be granted with respect
to the fence by the superintendent OF
buildings when good reasons for such
exemption exist, which must be stated
in the permit given by him or must be
covered by a rule of general applica-
tion.
A section is also included requiring
the protection of skylights and roofs
of adjoining buildings in the case Of
any building operation going more than
fifteen feet above any such roof. In
this case the owner of the building
whose roof or skylights are to be pro-

tected must give the owner Of the new
building permission to enter upon MS
premises TO install the safeguards or
else must assume the responsibility
for those safeguards himself. The
safeguards provided for in the present
law with respect 10 scaffoldlng are con-
tinucd.
A new provision is made for the in
closing of buildings that are being
undermined or shored up during the
excavation on an adjoining lot. This
duty is imposed on the parties making
the excavation. and is merely for Sc
curing to the building supported
proper protection against the weather.
Provision is also made TO prevent
water accommodating in excavations or
cellars by requiring the excavation to
be properly drained. and when there is
a sewer in the street to make con-
nection with the sewer.
The requirement is also inserted to
prevent the overlooking of any tempo
rary construction of any part of a
building during construction or dem
clifton.
When building is being de...olished
il must be taken down story by story
until il is completely removed. No
material must be stored on any floor in
the course of demolition. but all ma
teria must be removed as rapidly as
conditions will permit. The material
must be properly wet so as to prevent
dust.
All these safeguards must be in
stalled in accordance with such rules
as may be promulgated by the super
intendent of buildings, and in the case
Of failure to provide the prescribed
safeguards the superintendent has
power to enter the premises and TO
provide them himself. the cost Of such
work becoming a lien on the property.

CONCOURSE AN

S2,5OO,OOO Spent for New
Apartments Since
Spring.
JEROME AV. SUBWAY
NEARING COMPLETION
II Will Bring This Section
Within 40 Minutes of
City Hall.

With the Jerome av. branch Of the
Broadway Lexington av. subway now
nearing completion, the Grand Boule-
ward and Concourse is rapidly coming
into its own a. a high grade apartment
house parkway.
Since the early spring over s2,5OO,OOO
has been spent in the erection OF
apartment houses in the section OF
which the Concourse is the main artery
and centre, and, according TO officials
of the Bronx Board of Trade, who are
in a position to know, the end is not
yet, nor, for that matter, IS not even IN
sight.
Hospitals and churches are not neg
lecting the opportunity of locating IN
this growing section. One recent IN
stance of this was the purchase OF the
northwest corner of 196th st. and the
Concourse for the erection of the
House of the Holy Comforter IA ma
ternity hospital), which is now located
in West l39th st.
Among the operators who are build
ing apartment houses in this section
are the Gaines Roberts Company, 7. j.
Kearns, p. j. Dryer and Alexander
Wilson. The aines-Roberts Company
is now erecting apartments on the Con-
course at Fordham Road at cost Of
approximately S250,000, of which Harry
T. Howell is the architect
By the recent trade between Vincent
Aston and the American Real Estate
Company the latter came into pos
session of an undeveloped tract ex-
tending from the northwest corner Of
10th st. and Jerome av. to the Con-
course, at point where the entire
length of Washington Heights is in
full view. Following its traditional
policy, this company will improve this
property at an early date.
This and other activities are bearing
out the predictions of those who orig
inally planned this parkway, which ex-
tends from the Plaza, at East l6lst ST.,
north to Mosholu Parkway, the con-
Meeting link between beautiful Bronx
and Van Cortlandt parks. The con-
course, which is situated on the high
est ridge in the borough. is the last

mttee shows that the very soul OF the
principle Of the registration of titles
has been sacrificed in an attempt to
make the amendment satisfactory to
opposing interests.
at is apparent that il is designed
TO abandon completely the Australian

Deputy Register Fanchild. Even the

Of the eually well defnedo and histori-
cal phrase assurance fund appears

These phrases are the invention OF
Professor Alfred G.. Reeves. who has
been the outward spokesman for the
views and the contentious of those sell
flshly interested.
THAT Professor Reeves is the con-
sistent opponent of the principle OF
the method of registering titles as
established by Sir Robert Torrens is
a conclusion that | have been forced
TO come to most reluctantly after
many private and public discussions
with him. Professor Reeves has stat
ed in public addresses that it is not
possible to establish Torrens sys-
tenn of registration in this country, but
instead thereof we must have sys-
tenn of judicial authorization.
Elisha Snifiin. secretary of the Real
Estate Board. SAYS in a letter to the
Board Of Estimate that his organ'za-
ton is opposed TO the action of a
new committee to investigate port and
terminal conditions. He adds: "The
estimated cost. about $125,000 a year.
for maintaining such a committee
would be an expense which the city
cannot afford at this time. There APP
parently is little that such a commit
tee could ascertain that Is not already
known.
"The proposed members of the COM
mittee. as far as we can learn, have
no special qualifications over those en-
joyed by many of the distinguished
experts now in the employ of the city.
Mr.. Stanniford. Mr.. Lewis, Mr.. futile,
Dock Commissioner Smith, Mr.. Written
or Mr. Goodrich could at least do all
the preliminary work Of investigation.
and, if necessary. call in the other ex-
perts for consultation.
Nothing can come from the report
of such a committee that would be of
benefit. if their proposals involve the
expenditure of money. as the city has
no money other than for the abso-
lutely necessary expenses of govern
ment."
At the convention of the Real Estate
Association of the State Of New York.
to be held at Saratoga Springs on Sep
TENDER %. "a, 25 and 26. the question
of having a bill introduced for the
licensing of real estate brokers will be
discussed. Last years efforts along
these lines were fruitless.
Regarding this campaign, NJ. Nor
genthau, jr., president of the organiza-
ton. says: "Some of the local New
York City organizations are still OPP
posed to any means of protection for
the legitimate real estate broker, and
as some men in the greater city are
members of both local and the state
associations. a lively discussion is
promised"
