Areas of low pressure which are
over the Rocky mountain plateau and
northern Michigan have been attended
by high temperatures in the southern
plateau states and from the Missouri
and Mississippi valleys to the Allan
tic coast, with showers in the north
Pacific and northern Rocky mountain
sections and the northeastern portion
of the lake region. The pressure is
highest on the south Atlantic coast.
Owing to the low pressures to the

terview was highly successful, and all
the concessions asked were granted by
Mr.. Townsend on behalf of the insuT-
anCe men. The requirements, as sug-
gested at first for Davenport, were
thought to be a trifle severe for this
city. Buildings having over 10000
foot floor area were to be equipped with
sprinkler system, according to the
first requirements, but the Davenport
men were able to get the floor area eX-
tended to 1880 square feet. There
are certain classes of buildings under
the requirements, which do not need
the sprinkling system.
