NEW LIFTS USED
IN OLD BUILDINGS
Modern Elevators Play Part
in Restoration of Office
Structures.

Less patent to the general public than
the housing shortage, the demand for
space for business uses has been almost
equally pressing, the two situations
paralleline each other In several re-
spects. Thus. while there has been
great shortage OF space for general COM
mercial purposes. the call for space for
some especial Industrial or business en-
terprise has been even more sharply
felt Along with the remodelling of
dwelling houses and old apartment
buildings to meet the demand for living
quarters. there has been a renovation OF
older business structures, bringing them
up TO present day standards, or fitting
them to be used for other occupations
than those for which they were origi-
nally constructed.
Foremost in these changes has been
improvement of elevator facilities The

SEEK WAYS TO CUT
COST OF BUILDING
Architects Earnestly Studying
Substitutes and New
Inventions.

III the cost of labor, one of the most
important items of expenditure in con-
struction work, can be reduced or econo-
mixed by skilful management, improved
methods and better working conditions,
II is believed that the ultimate cost of
building will be correspondingly reduced.
Architects and builders accordingly ex-
pressed the opinion this week that there
soon must come a breaking away from
many of the existing stereotyped meth
DDS OF operation. 1t was generally felt
that economies can be made in many
directions II the workman is persuaded
to adopt a different attitude toward his
work" says the American Architect.
THAT labor has its duties and re-
sponsibiities as well as it's privileges
seems to be forgotten by many trade
union leaders, There appears to be
no effort by workmen themselves to Sc
cure efficiency and increased output
Labor must be educated to realize the
duty it owes to itself and the community.
II should cultivate an ambition TO give
fair and honest work in return for good
wages, short hours and better conditions
of living.
THE present attitude of labor Is,
admittedly, one of the most menacing
OF the many serious difficulties which
must be combated. So much is at stake
and 30 great is the need for greater pro-
ducuvity that no question exists that II
is more momentous than any other prob
lem OF the present time.
I'm the field of construction two pos
sible solutions of the difficulty are oc-
cupying the attention of the architectural
and building profession. One is substi-
tuition in building materials and the
other closely allied, is the advancement
of new departures in the execution of
building operations, 1t is not surpris-
ing in view of the calamitous dearth of
building commodities that architects
and builders are earnestly seeking all
| trustworthy information concerning the
substitutes for heretofore considered es-
sential materials-both those that are
of established reputation and those that
have been newly introduced-which in
ventive genius has produced.
AT the same time n strong effort Is
being manifested TO break away from
construction methods which have been
in general use for the last fifty years
and put any improvements into execu-
ton that will make for efficiency In the
| present great rush of reconstruction,
| While II Is true that in the field of en-
| cheering practice many economies have
nary operations OF building there has
been little disposition to break away
from stereotyped methods.
Concentrated working effort and eff
cheney must be the means OF COMBATING
the destructive policy of increased nav
and shorter working hours. The pres.
ent estimated reduced labor output OF
20 per cent, due to exceptional war In
The sun., 1919-10-26

fiuences, must be still further reduced II
this country is to maintain its industrial
position. 1t must be assumed that the
wage increase in the building trade is
permanent. therefore any reduction in
labor values in building work must be
obtained through an increased efficiency
Of the workmen themselves, and the
adoption OF all labor saving machinery
and improved plant organization it is
possible to secure.
IF industries are to be tied UP by
strikes, such as now affect the steel in
dustry, what is going to happen TO the
men who are engaged in building-the
carpenters. the masons and the many
others? The builders will not be able
to get supplies, so their work will be
useless. They will simply be out of a
Job. II no builder will build how can
people who complain of the need Of
proper housing have their needs salts
fed when conditions have been created
that make 1t impossible for capital to
enter into building operations? Will
capital take chance. not knowing where

labor. or will It walt until conditions are
again normal?
Organized labor must take immediate
steps TO remedy its internal disarrange-
ment before II can possibly hope TO make
further progress anywhere. The unions
must cease their fragrant disregard OF
agreements and abide by arbitration TO
which by their vote they agreed to sub
init their grievances and demands. Proof
of the good faith of labor unions mus;
be firmly reestablished before It will be
worth while to discuss any other phase

sented.

hydraulic elevator equipment changing
them over to electric, the current con-
sumption for the new elevators being
estimated at 100000 kilowatt hours
annually. The list includes sixty-three
elevators for Office buildings Of the older
type, some of them antedating the period
when central station electric supply was
available. The largest item on the list,
however, is seventy-one elevators for
forty-fve loft buildings, these for the
most part indicating older manufactur-
ing properties. previously operated by
steam plants. many OF the structures
being of the FIVE and six story type,
Where elevator changes have been
ordered in newer buildings. as Is the
case with several well known downtown
structures, the deciding factor has been
the increased cost of operation where the
motive power, as with hydraulic and
steam equipment, is produced on the
premises. In some instances the operat-
ing figures have mounted 100 per cent.
in the past three years. Frequently. too.
this matter has been closely related to
the question OF the private plant. for
where high pressure steam is required
to maintain elevator service there Is a
tendency to operate electric generating
apparatus as well.
In about one half OF the ninety three
buildings listed as adopting electric
elevators the abandonment of the gen.
Grating equipment has been involved
with the change to electric elevators
Among the big buildings which have
recently installed electric elevators are
the American Surety Building. the
Welles Building. the Alvin Building, the
Kemble Building, the Stewart Building
the Merchant Marine Building, the Mer.
camille Bank OF America. the Seabury
Building and the Schermerhorn Build
