URGES SAFEGUARDS
in BUILDING PLANS
Engineer Beck Sees Need of
Extra Precautions Against
: OverIoadS and Fires.

The time has come, in the opinion
OF Robert Beck, well known engineer,
for builders and architects to look fur
ther than mere mechanical safeguards
against overloads and stresses in plan
ming and erecting buildings of all
kinds. They should, he holds, also
give attention to definite protection
against the spread of fire.
We are every year burning up"
says Mr.. Beck, property worth some
thing in excess of $685. 900 000-a sum
more than sufficient to build the Pana-
ma Canal, and in reducing this huge
aggregate of values to inconsequential
ashes we sacrifice thousands of lives.
There are no detailed records avail
able but it is estimated by the Ma
tional Board of Fire Underwriters that
the fatalities total $4,000 annually,
and that, in addition, some II, 900 per-
sons are injured by burning.
Waste Due to Structural Defects.
This enormous waste of human
and material wealth is largely due to
structural defects that can and should
be corrected. In New York and in
other large cities where one finds flats
and tenements, and where housing
conditions have caused the conversion
of the older dwellings into small apart
ments, there have recently occurred
many fires in which the loss Of life
has been heavy.
Such blazes start from a variety of
causes-cigarette stubs, overheated
furnaces, upset of oil stoves and what
not, but the flames have swept with
lfghtning-like rapidity up through
structures and cut off the escape of
occupants because a fiue-like path is
ready and waiting. l mean to say
that in the ma jority of cases the stair
ways, with wooden treads and risers,
are not incloSed and consequently fur
nish almost ideal passageways for
smoke and fire.
Danger I'm Homes Overlooked.
The building laws of most cities
compel the observance of certain pre-
cautions in constructing theaters, fac
tories and other business buildings, as
well as safety measures in regard to
maintenance, but where dwellings nd
apartments are concerned regulations
are not nearly as strict as they should
be, and 1t is in this occupancy that
a large percentage of the lives are
lost. This is not surprising when il
Ia known that on the average there
are some $50 residential fires taking
place every day in the year, or about
one every four minutes.
Exterior fire escapes on buildings
are simply better than nothing as
means of egress in an emergency.
but the proper way to protect life is
to incorporate sound methods of con.
struction in the interiors of structures
OF every nature, such as fire-stoppins
between floors and proper inclosure of
all vertical openings. When this prac.
tfce becomes the rule instead of the
exception in the United States, Eu-
ropeans will cease to look upon us in
amazement as needless wasters Of life
and material treasure"

MARYLAND JURY RAPS
UNSCRUPULOUS BUILDERS
Favors Bond to Bar Contractors
Undertaking Work and Not
Finishing It.

BALTIMORE May 30.-Scoring un-
scrupulous builders and real estate
operators who defraud their victims.
the grand jury of Baltimore County
this week recommended legislation
which would compel all builders to
furnish a bond for the completion of
building operations. The jury made
the following report:
I'VE have had some cases before US
where builders and contractors have
undertaken impossible contracts with
no intention of completing same.
leaving their work unfinished and
causing such delays as to enable
foreclosure. resulting in a total LOGS
and adding debts to the victim, with
out civil redress, on account of the
financial condition of the contractors.
I'VE recommend that a builders
bond be compulsory In all cases. We
found it impossible to indict the Of
tenders, who had carefully protected
themselves by just avoiding any
criminal act, being aided therein by
the gullibility of the victims"

The u. S. Government is spend

The Dalecarlia Filtration Plant
now under construction is part of
this development.
The construction of a tremen-
dous dam above Chain Bridge at
the District Line, for increasing
the water supply and for supply
ing economic hydro-electric power
to Washington and circumjacent
territory is a matter of public
record.
This development definitely af-
fects Brookmont.
1t is no secret that leading
Washington realty and business
interests are quietly acquiring
acreage in the territory directly
affected by these improvements.
A most pretentious system Of
parks in the vicinity of the Pool
formed by the back waters of the
dam above Chain Bridge, and to
be known as Lake Meigs, is a
part Of the plan.
The property at Mt. Washing
ton, right at the entrance to
Brookmont, comes under this
park plan.
A system of National Boule-
wards around Lake Meigs is also
under consideration. 1T is MORE
THAN A DREAM.
