Building Elevators
Carry a Tenth Of
Population, Daily
Airplane Landing Sta.
tiOns on Roofs Soon to
Be Necessity.
BY the Associated Press.

CLEVELAND, June 10.-F1gures
given out at yesterdays session of
the eighteenth annual convention of
the National Association of Building
Owners and Managers show that more
than one-tenth of America rides in
elevators of office buildings each day.
It was estimated that IA 200, 900 eleva-
tor passengers are carried each day
in the principal cities of America.
Some of the features brought out
in reports were improved elevators
which permit skyscrapers to obtain a
height of 60 stories, recording ther-
mometers which keep accurate check
in the boilerroom on the temperature
at various other places in the build
ing, and outside sprinkler systems to
protect against external fire hazards.
Landing space for airplanes and the
largest of dirigibles may yet grace
the roofs of tall Office buildings, in
the opinion of L. Clydesdale Cushman,
New York structural engineer. Monu-
mental buildings might easily bear
landing platforms that in time un-
doubtedly will become just as es-
sential to the growth Of large cities
as is the solution of its vehicular
traffic problem. he said.
Speaking before the apartment house
section, Chester Snow, Washington,
D. c.. said persons buying apartment
buildings as investments are confront
ed with a far more complicated prob
lem than that Of the speculator, be-
cause no matter how far advanced in
design today. the building will in 10
years be somewhat behind the times.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. June 10.-Plans for a
consolidation of the Glen Alden Coal
Co. and the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western Coal Co.. the operating
and sales organization for the an.
thracite properties formerly held by
the. Lackawanna Railroad, were an.
nounced today. Combined assets of
the two companies approximate $780,,
000, 900.
The merger will be effected by an
Increase in the Glen Alden Coal Co. s
capital stock from S46 900 to l 1858, ,693
shares, and an exchange of one share
of the new issue for each share of
the Lackawanna company's outstand-
ing capital stock.
A special meeting of Glen Alden
stockholders has been called for Au-
gust 10 to approve the increase in cap
1talization. Upon segregation of the
Lackawanna Railroads coal holdings
in 1921, the Glen Alden company ac-
quired the property in exchange for
$50, 900, 900 of its bonds. Subsequent
ly 1t absorbed the Diamond Anthra-
cite Coal Co. Organized in 1866, the
company later was bought by the
Lackawanna Railroad and, after its
separation from the carrier, became
one of the countrys largest anthracite
producers. Its mines are said to con-
tain 400,000,00 tons of unmined coal
The Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western Coal Co. was formed as a
selling agency for the railroads coal
output in 1909, and has continued to
act in the same capacity for the Glen
