a year ago destroyed almost in its entirety
an expedtionary column penetrating the
hinterland Of Meilla.
General Silvastre, overcome by what he
regarded as the shame Of defeat, committed
suicide. Since that time public opinion in

LESSON FROM A TRAGEDY

THE verdict found by the Coroner 5
- Jury in the case of the collapse of
The Parkway Building AT Broad and
Cherry streets was not unexpected. The
character of the tragic accident, in which
two lives were lost and scores of wOrkmen
hurt, Immediately and ominously suggested
that in repairing the building structural
weaknesses had been too lightly considered
and that insufficient attention had been paid
20 the risks Of difficult and delicate opera
ton
There is an element of irony IN warnings
after n fatality, which Is sometimes deemed
sxhbitive OF the cold futilty of probes and
inquests. Reasons for catastrophos and dis
asters can generally be found, but they will
not restore the dead
In the present instance. however. the les
son to be drawn from the accident should
be Of service in compelling scrupulouS care
In all construction work and specifically in
the alterations to the Parkway Building.
The recommendation Of the jury that spe-
cial inspection OF the entire work ought 70
be made by the Bureau of Building lnspeC-
tion and that the reconstruction should be
continued only on such parts Of the build
ing as ar" directed by the bureau chief is
we'll conceived
The responsibility Of safeguarding the
lives of the public is not. however, single.
Architects. builders. workmen and the city
authorities are under n pressing obligation
TO disregard the untrustwOrthy possibilities
Of specifically favorable chance in favor Of
making assurance doubly sure.
Careless construction work /, - novelty.
The surprising feature of risks rashly taken
Il that exposures Of misplaced confidence are
not more frequent.
