dentally, the 1898 plates will be of

will be manufactured in Ohio peni-

The Ohio State Planning board,
after perusing figures and volum-
inous data, came up with the pre-
diction that Ohio may expect pop
ulation of approximately 100000
by 1860. The estimate represents
an increase of about 13 percent over
the 1890 official federal census,
which credited the state with a pop
ulation of 6,646.697. The 1860, pop
ulation was based on an analysis Of
past population trends as Influenced
by births, deaths and migration and
upon study of the probability of a
continuation of such trends and in
f1uences as they may be affected by
occupational and economic condi-
tiOnS.

TALL BUILDINGS NO
FIRE HAZARD

All tall modern skyscrapers in
American cities are fireproof, but
the question is often asked what
would happen if fire broke out,
say, on the Goth floor of such a
building as the RCA tower in Rock
|efeller Center, New York How
could firemen on the street some
|eight hundred feet below put out
such a blaze? The answer is the
firemen would not be on the street
below. Every tall building is equiD-
ped with standpipes which connect
with each floor The firemen would
attach their equipment to those
pipes and quench the fire before it
could gain headWay.
However, modern skyscrapers.
constructed Of steel, stone and con-
'crete would remain intact even If
their contents were consumed by
flames Hazards are reduced to the
minimum, especially in New York.
