Architect Has Jurisdiction
"If the architect can be made to
feel conscious OF this condition and be
prevailed upon 70 incorporate articles
of safety In his specifications, 1t will
have the effect OF placing the con-
tractor under contract to erect and
maintain safety devices for the bet
ter protection Of the men. Whenever
the architect Is engaged as superyis-
ing architect the matter is under his
control, but oftentimes he is not.
"Yet, taking the position that the
architect is boss Of the job, it is within
his jurisdiction to act in case he sees
reckless piling Of material, un-
barricaded we'll holes, unguarded
stairs, poorly built scaffolds, or lack
of necessary safeguards and protec-

He should not wait until making
an inspection before exercising his
authority, but should make safety re-
quirements fundamental part Of his
specifications and then see to it that
they are provided for, installed and
maintained by the one in charge OF
the operation, whether he be an ex-
cavator, house Wrecker or general con-
tractor.

in nearly every operation. The larger

after all safeguards apparently

still incomplete. There is always a

BUILDING ACCIDENT.
REDUCTION URGED.
Enormous Losses Demand
New Safeguards, Says
Architects Official.

The enormous losses arising from
accidents in the building industry
demand new safeguards, beginning
with the architect, declares Samuel
R. Bishop Of New York, chairman OF
the Committee on Health and Safety
of the American Institute of Archi-
tects.
Responsibility for safety has in the
past been left to the contractor, al
though 1T involves one of the heaviest
liabilities in the construction industry,
according to Mr.. Bishop, who asserts
that the architect can no longer con-
fine himself to scant mention Of this
factor in his specifications
There was q time, and not very
long ago, when little attention was
paid to safety regulations in the build
ing industry" Mr., Bishop says. This
Is mainly because buildings were not
built as high as they are today, meth
of construction were simpler and
the attitude of the contractor was
more or less one Of indifference.
Deaths in Thousands Annually.
To-day we find as a result of acci-
dents on new constructions that deaths
are now in the thousands each year
and the industry in normal times is
annually absorbing the staggering sum
of nearly s25O,O00,000 in both personal
and property losses. The construc-
ton industry is confronted with greater
hazards than any other, and pays
the heaviest insurance charges against
accidents.
"At present, nine States have safety
codes for the protection of Workmen in
| this industry, IA have a few legisla-
tive regulations, and Is have no regu-
lations at all. But legislation does
not insure safety. Architects, con-
tractors and workmen must act to-

Der of accidents but also to reduce

Of a room in one of the ram
Shackle homes adjacent to

the fact that it was the only room
didn't stop it from being the central

large, comfortablelooking bed. and
flanking the sleeping department stood
an electric refrigerator on one side

Although the new year is al
ways symbolized in cartoons as a.
new born babe in contrast to an

Leading contenders SO far in
the annual first baby contest
sponsored by several Redwood
Tails merchants and The Gazette,
therefore, are two very small boys
whose birthdays will be celebrat-

Since neither arrived until the af-

hours after the contest began,
other contenders may yet come
forward.
Anyone knowing of a baby who
might be eligible for the several
attractive prizes offered is asked
to advise its parents to notify The

vide: l. Both mother and father
of the baby must be residents of
the county for one year or longer.
