Survey by Longacre Company
n inForty-fiye Cities Shows
=, Little Loss

In forty-five cities OF the United
States having populations in excess
of 90 1000 some IS per cent OF the
buildings are OF frame construction,
vet there were fewer fires last year
in such structures than in those OF
other types. according to Robert
Beck, president OF the Longacre
Engineering and Construction Com
pany, which has just completed
countrywide survey OF condition.
Commenting upon the report, Mr..
Beck says: washington, Boston,
Fan River, Oklahoma City, Berkeley
tCalifornia). Topeka, Wilkesbarre,
salt Lake City and Milwaukee are
among the cities surveyed where
there were s51s9S4 frame buildings
out OF a total Of f.12S'OO2 OF All
kinds.
EFT was found that although this
barge number comprising % per
cent Of the. aggregate were Struc:
lures Of frame constructions only
m IA per cent did tires occur,
whereas in 81 per cent OF the
buildings of brick, cement and other
less combustible materials blazes
originated and caused varying
damage. OF the combined structures
2.6 per cent were visited by fire.
''While in most cities the number
OF frame buildings far exceeds
other types, the, opposite condition
prevails in Washington, Salt Lake
and York, Pa. In the first named
city, there are 115, 1892 buildings
Of brick, stone, ETC.. for example,
and only 30,9S5 of frame, while IN
the Utah capitol the figures are,
respectively, $1,000 and 1880.
'sThis analysis Is. as far as we
know. the first of its kind and
contains several surprises. It seems
TO indicate for one thing. that, IN
spite of popular opinion to the
contrary. housewives and others
occupying dwellings (which are nat
uraIly in the majority among the
frame buildingsl are more careful
In handling fire hazards than are
the workers and tenants OF FAC
tories and other business properties.
'sOn the other hand, contr1but-
ing factor in swelling the nom
frame figures may be the set fires
involving business enterprises sui
fering from unsatisfactory trade
conditions. One point that stands
out clearly is the tremendous de-
pendenee supon wood for structural
purposes. past and present, despite
the trend toward reinforced con-
crete. brick. stone and other more
lasting materials.
