NUMBERING OFFICE ROOMS.
How Managers of Big Structures
Have Undertaken Task.

One of the many little puzzles that
come occasionally to vex the mind of
the building manager is to be cited in
the numbering of offices in the Metro
politan Life Insurance building in New
York city. says Building Management.
When the question of numbering
these offices came up. John C. Knight,
the manager. saw that for twelve floors
up he had more than 100 rooms on
floor to be designated with numerals.
while in the tower there were fewer
than 100 rooms to the floor.
The Metropolitan Life Insurance
building is numbered differently than
most buildings as a result The first
eleven floors have rooms numbered
within the thousand. Second-foor
rooms start with the number 1000,
third-foor rooms start with 5000 and
so on up until the tower is reached. In
the tower there are fewer than 100
offices to the floor. The first floor OF
the tower, which is the twelfth floor of
the building. therefore. contains rooms
thirteenth floor offices begin with the
number 1870 and so on.
The forty-two-story L. c. Smith build
ing of Seattle took a lot of numbers.
but Charles E. Horton. the manager.
declares there was no difficulty found
in numbering the offices. There are
fewer than 100 rooms to the floor in
this building. In such a case. however,
one can see sort Of inadvisabiltty in
designating the offices with Roman
numerals, for he might be like the man
who wished he had bought roses in
stead of chrysanthemums

CLUB IS CONSIDERING PLAN
FOR ARCHITECTS BUILDING
To Contain Convention Hall and Head

ISOLATED Organizations.

ment. The creation of an associate mem
bership will permit men engaged in the
building material business and contractors
and builders TO become affiliated with the
organization.
An amendment TO the constitution MAX
ing provision for the transfer system of
membership between the club and like
organizations in other cities also will be
considered. There is a movement on foot
among the architectural clubs of the coun-
try to effect transfer system whereby a
member of any one club will be entitled
to membership in any other club should
his work carry him to another city. BY
this arrangement a member in good stand
ing in the Washington club. for instance,
would be entitled to membership in the
architectural club in any other city to
which he might move. Any advance dues
which he has paid in his home organiza-
ton will be applied to his account in the
club in the city where he takes up his
residence. He will not have to pay an
initiation fee in the new club providing
it is the same as that in vogue in his
former organization. II the club in the
city to which he moves has an initiation
fee of less amount the difference Is placed
to his credit and il it ia more he will be
expected to make up the difference. An
effort is being made to get the architectu-
raj clubs all over the country to ratify
the plan.

EXCHANGE CONSIDERS
NEW CONTRACT FORMS

New forms of agreement and general
conditions of contract approved by the
American Institute of Architects at its
meeting in this city in December were
considered at special meeting OF the
Builders and Manufacturers Exchange
last night in the rooms of the Board Of
Trade.
An explanation Of these forms was
made by William Il, King of this city,
a member of the committee on CON
tracts OF the National Association of
builders Exchanges. Mr.. KING said
several conferences had been held be
tween the committees on contracts OF
the American Institute Of Architects
and of the National Association of
Builders Exchanges, and that Il serious
effort had been made to reach an agree
ment upon forms of building contracts
which would be equitable, both to the
builders and to the owners. He said the
members of the committee among the
arc hitects were impressed with the fact
that many onerouS conditions had been
placed upon the builders and that tho
assumption of large risks by the builders
in building contrac cts had tended 10 in
crease costs 10 the owner.
Tile new form of agreement and gen
eral conditions Of contract WAS evolved
from these discussions and is assuming
final shape 1t will be submitted to
the National Association of Builders
Exchanges at its meetin gat Columbus
January &c, and will also be considered
by the architects individually and in
their local chapters.
The object of the builders. Mr.. King
said, was to obtain a form OF contract
more certain in its obligations and
more impartial in its treatment OF the
two parties to the contract. He con-
trasted the new and the old forms in
| these respects. showing many articles
in which the old form was vague and
the new form exact and certain.
He also called attention to the wide

Floaters.

There are q lot of people living IN
New York city fifty termed floating
tenants" campers out. who pay tour 10
five months rent during the year Tor
twelve months occupancy. according to
the Real Estate Board Bulletin. First
they get a bonus of a months rent free On
payment of the second months rent;
then beat out the third months rent:
they are then dispossessed at an ex-
pense for dispossessing and redecorat-
ing with three months occupancy and
with only one months rent to the
landlord
possible cure for this may be to
make the contents OF the apartments
responsible for the rent. Why should
the installment furniture men or the
