Features of Building.
Fireproof Throughout.

The building, it is stated. is to be as
nearly flreproof as modern methods Of
construction will make possible, and

in material reduction of insurance
rates on films, which by reason of their
infammable nature, are subject to the
strictest fire prevention measures and
carry excessively high insurance rates.

tion of the many film exchanges will
bring about material reduction in ex-

films.

The engines arc to be Of the same
