SCORE OF DEFECTS.

When there is pointed out by a group
of army and navy engineers where there
were 81 faults in connection with the
cor structien of that theater in Wash
ineton which COLLAPSED it seems to be
disclosed that there was failure not
only to live up to the requirements of &
safe pubic building hut also failure
to insis! upon the building of strue-
ture in accord with the demands of
safety.
When one workman who was engaged
in constructing the building testified
that he called attention to the fact that
certain work was not being done cor
rectly. or enough allowance was not be-

there is a similar laxity, has reason to
be seriously concerned.
That Washington catastrophe could
have been prevented hal there been the
insistence upon the kind of construction
that would have insured a stable strue
ture. When it is shown that there was
over a score of ways in which there APP

position to permit anything TO go into
the erection of the material that would
present a good appearance without re-

state of affairs which amounts to gross
negligence and one that demands drastic
action TO overcome. The need seems
plain but even after the Washington af-
fair one wonders how long it will be
kent in mind and how much will be done
to prevent repetitions.
