Safety for Chin,neys
Figured Out BY
u. S. Experts

Experts attached to the Blu
reau Of Standards have come to
the conclusion chimney builders
will be safe If they figure a wind
pressure of 90 pounds to each
square foot Of surface.
Tests Of various sorts to deter
mine the margin of safety in the
erection of high shaft have
convinced the Government ex-
perts that 90 pounds pressure
will be sufficient to Withstand a
10O-mile blast.
The conclusions will be ac-
cepteCh for estimating the cost Of
construction. In the past build
ers have had varied ideas of
wind pressure, with the result
that cost figures varied widely.

Fires FOR YEAR
TAKE 10000
LIVES
80 Persons viii Die, SO
viii Be Hurt Within the
Next 24-Hour Period

Fire statistics reveal that the
total annual loss by fire is ap-
proxin1ateiy 10000 lives and the
ratio of deaths to injuries is one
to two and one-haf.
On this basis, according to the
Holland Institute of TECHNOLOGY.
of Holland. Mich, 33 persons viii
be burned to death and 83 viii
be seriously injured by fire within
the next ~ hours. While only q
portion of casualties occur in
fires, it has been estimated that
more than so per cent of the
total number of fires involving
damage to property each year
take place in the home, and, &C
cording to statistics, there is
home fire every four minutes.
Records. disclose that on the
average of five schools, five
churches, Is hotels, one hospital,
four warehouses, six department
stores, two theaters, eight public
garages, three printing plants and
property on 96 farms, catch fire
from some unknown or known
source each day Of the year.
Defective flues, chimneys and
heating plants and sparks on the
roof are reported as the known
originating causes of largest Fire
losses" during 1929. During the
same year the national property
loss traceable to these three
sources was estimated at $50, ,00O.-

BASEMENT NOW
CHEEKY PLACE

The lowly and once-neglected
basement is coming into its own
A considerable proportion of the
newly built homes have attractive
and useful Easements, and many
owners Of homes built within the
last 10. or is years are setting
about to improve their Easements.
The most important conSidera.
ton is cleanliness, and one way
of obtaining this is to install a
gas heating plant. For If SCOT,
dust, or vapor fumes are present
t. soil everything in the basement,
it is impossible to do much with
it. Moreover, the space needed
for fuel bin or tank is diverted to
other uses when gas is burned.
The extra room in the basement
makes the home bigger without
building an addition and it enables
the occupants to keep pace with
the needs Of growing family
without the necessity Of moving to
larger house. In the case Of a
new home 1t provides more usablc
space without having to build so
much above ground.
Gas heat is convenient, and the
occupants Of a gas heated nome
have more time to enjoy their
home. Setting the thermostat for
the temperature desired and light
ing the gas once in the fall, will
provide even, healthful tempera.
ture throughout the winter.
Where an automatic gas heating
plant is installed the home owner
returns to find the house at the
same comfortable temperature 1t
was when he left.

REALTY GROUP
ENLARGED

Enlarging its governing body
from nine to Is, the Washington
Real Estate Board at a special
meeting this week created a
board of directors to take over
the functions of it's executive
committee, which heretofore has
been the controlling and admin
istrative group, according to an
announcement made by John A,
Petty, executive secretary. BY
adopting this change. it was
pointed out. a wider representa-
ton among members engaged in
the various branches of the real
estate business would be obtained,
as well as a larger measure of
participation Of individual mem
bers in the administration.
Petty further stated that pro-
posal to eliminate the nominal
ing committee produced consid-
cradle discussion, but the pro-
posal was almost unanimously
rejected by the meeting at which
the attendance of active men,
bers was the largest of any busi-
ness meeting in its history. He
said:
'By unanimous vote, affili-
ated membership in the board
was abolished, thus leaving
membership limited to two
classes, active and associate,
with licensed brokers, banks
and trust companies eligible to
active membership and sales.
men and employees Of active
members eligible to associate
membership.
"A more compact OrganiZa-
tiOn was perfected by the crea-
tion of four major committees,
consisting of five active mem
berD each, to function in the
different branches of the real
estate business, namely, prop
erty management committee,
mortgage and finance commit
tee, brokers committee, busi-
ness property leasing commit
tee, These committees to be
appointed by the board of di-
rectOrs will take over the ac.
tivitieS Of the several divisions
which formerly existed in the
board.
"The amendments adopted
will be put into operation
after the annual meeting and
election Of officers, to be held
October 13. At this meeting
nominations will be submitted
by the recently appointed nom

Having learned that frequent
inspections and quick repairs
lengtl1en the life and increase the
enjoyment obtained from their

owners are now giving their
houses similar inspections at least
once a year.

HOUSING WELL
BIG PROBLEM,
SAESEXPERT
Solution Lies in Town Plans
For Subdivision, Not in Field
Of Finance, Wright Ayers

!. Housing is more problem o1
town planning than one of ii
nancing purchasers of homes, &C
cording to Henry Wright, well
known architect and city-plan
expert. In an article on Pros
perity and the Architect" appear
Ing in the October issue of the
Architectural Record. Wright says
In the recent announcement
Of q Washington conference on
home building there Is an indi-
cation Of some appreciation Of
the importance of city planning
and contingent factors. vet the
emphasis has been Centered
largely on better financing.
No one will deny the impOr-
tance Of credit in stimulating
home building, but If credit is
merely to add more rows Of
1Iimsy, mOnOtOnOus houses to
those unfortunate border com
munities which remain to us
from the great land bOOmS of
1S22-26. we could almost wish
that such credit might be sup
pressed.
"Only one worse fate could
be imagined, that new home
owning agitation may again be
used rs . cloak to open up
more miles Of unused vacant
lots or sparsely populated wastes
OF cement sidewalks and rust
ing utility pipes of which we
have acquired enough to satisfy
even the most ardent expan-
sfOnist.
Here is q study in regional
needs rs well as in the chang,
ing habits and requirements of
the normal family which might
well occupy the enforced leisure
Of local groups I'm the profession
and which, If inteIligently di.
rected, might bring forth con-
crete suggestions, which could
be put into operation as q re.
suit of the projected confer
elace."
Wright Is of the opinion that
the most important architectural
mplishmentS Of past and
present have been building prof.
ectS undertaken in the commun-
ity interest, even though many
of them have been promoted and
financed by individuals. The
new tendency of architectural
thought which views housing as
a problem of community and en-
vironment rather than one of
catering to individual tastes. is
destined to broaden the field Of
usefulness of architects services
and give them an increased par
ticipation in the designing and
building Of habitations for the
great mass of the American
people.
acquire a home and then
realize the deficiencies of your
environment" says Mr.. Wright,
sehas been the unfortunate ex-
perience of countless thousands
during the past generation.
Here is single problem about
which more muddled agitation
has been taking place than any
other. Not only is it large
enough to occupy q consider
able part of the thought Of the
profession, but it represents by
far the largest block of nor
NAL building construction and
probably the smallest percent
.age Of architectural participa-
tiOn. Some advance may be
shown by statistics over the
past ten-year period, but it
scarcely yet represents more
than a fraction Of the possible
contribution Of architects to
the community or its possible
Importance to the professions"

ACTS TO LOWER
RECEIVER FEES
Judge Opens Drive to Cut
Profits in Bank Cases.

A movement to halt large profits
made by receivers for state banks,
and attorneys hired by them, was
revealed today in an action by Judge
Fred E. Hines in Hamilton circuit
court.
Judge Hines appointed Shirl E.
Walton, Atlanta, receiver for the
Central bank, Arcadia, a private in
stitution, which has been in the
hclds of the state department for
five weeks.
In his appointment, Judge Hines
specified that Walton is to receive
only 5000 for the first month of re-
ownership, and that thereafter he
must submit a report of all his &C
tivities and expenses in carrying out
the liquidation. The judge then will
decide whether Walton is to receive
5000 or less in subsequent months.
Attorneys likewise will be required
to submit vouchers, under similar
conditions.
The action was taken in open
court, after a conference between
Judge Hines and Luther F.
Symonds, state bank commissioner.
Previously in many cases receivers
have made as high as $500 a week
while liquidating assets of banks,
SymondS said, and likewise they
have hired attorneys who enjoyed
handsome fees for long periods OF
time. He and Judge Hines believe
that expenses will be much smaller
under the new system, and that it
will encourage rapid liquidation, be-
cause of the threat of meager fees.
