Errors In Chimney Construction.

Probably the most common error in
the construction Of chimneys is made
through failure to properly proportion
the size and the height. The size gov
ems the volume OF smoke chimneys
can handle, and the height determines
the intensity of the draft.
A chimney may be sufficiently high,
but Of an area too small to do the work
required. \ chimney may also be large
enough, but too low to produce suffi-
Gent draft required TO pull the air
through the fire and up the chimneys
at q rapid rate. Either fault will re-
suit in very unsatisfactory chimney

NEW ERA OF CITY PLANNING

There is no doubt that the city of
the future is going to limit the height
of Its buildings, the proportion of
ground each building may occupy. the
proportion of park space TO inhabi-
tants, and the character Of all con-
struction work. 1t is believed that
the city Of the skyscrapers is soon TO
pass.
The result will be to build out in
stead Of up. When business district

will be started elsewhere.
