There will be a great scurrying for a
while, at least, and moat stringent enact
ments will be devised for the protection oi
theaters, while, as a matter of fact, there
Is far more danger of fire in a hoapltal or
hotel than there U In a theater, yes, three
times more, and in an apartment house
the danger Is aeven times greater than In
theater. It just so happened that nearly
600 poor mortals lost their lives in that
awful Chicago affair, and, therefore, the
possibility of such destruction was made
clearly apparent there, but it Is Just as
probable, and aa liable to happen any day,
that a hotel, hoepltal, apartment house
or school burn up, destroying seven or eUnt
hundred or a thousand lives. And what
la to prevent any two or three bulldlntcs,
in one or different parts of the country,
being destroyed at the same time and their
destruction attended' with terrible loss of

Words "Kire Proof Misapplied.
Why wait for such appalling lessons?
8ome cities have already enacted that
"herea: - hater buildings shall be of
fireproof construction." Hut there the mat
ter la left open. "Fireproof la a term
that has been misapplied to many a fire
trap of the worst kind. We hear the un
initiated, and indeed some so called "ex
perts," apply the - term to .what passes
muster as "slow burning-." "mill construc
tion" and a host of other, such schemes.
Fireproof, Indeed! And I have seen them
burn like tinder boxes.
Why leave this question open to discus
sion? There is always In every city, alas,
a lot of unprincipled speculators ever ready
to build for quick sales or 100 per cent re
turns who will try by every means In their
power to elide their pernicious schemes
through the tiniest loophole; building de
partment officers are human and can make
mistakes, usually they have so little as
sistance given them that It la almost Im
posaible to Inspect properly everything that
goes on. and some there may even be who
are not fully competent to pets upon what
is fireproof and what Is not. A building
ordinance to be really effective should leave

nothing open to argument, nor should It by
any means stop at theaters alone. Let It
fully cover existing; bulldlnKs and state by
what meana present dangers In them shall
he lessened If not eradicated, then let It say
that all buildings hereafter constructed
shall be properly built and thoroughly fire
proof, aa far as the structure Itself Is con
cerned, at least, and then define what
"fireproof" Is. Absolute precision Is the
only method open to avoid a lax enforce
ment of even a a-nod law. And remember
that even In an absolutely fireproof struc
ture there Is always the possibility of fire.
There are furnishings, . carpets, curtains,
or. In stores and warehouses, merchandise
of, perhaps, a highly Inflammable nature.
As long as those thlnps are made ss they
are today, they can burn, and every pre
caution should be Insisted upon to minimize
the danger from such combustible ma
terials; ample hose, a good provision of
water, lire extinguishers that extinguish.
Intelligent men for watrhmen, perfect sys
tems of alarm, careful storing of materials
and the cutting off of communication from
story to story by Inclosing elevators, stairs
and other openings with fireproof walls
and self-closing fireproof doors: all these
and many other things should be Insisted
upon, but the main thing, nevertheless, and
the one to be considered now and engrossed
upon the ordinances In bold letters and
without cniltibllng or temporizing. Is that
the structure Itself should be absolutely
fireproof. This precludes the destruction
of the building. Its collapse and almost al
ways attendant loes of life, the spread of
fire to adjacent buildings, and Is the first
grand slen to he taken In the direction of
the absolute prevention of fire.
Brick and Steel, Only, Safe.
There Is but one method of building a
fireproof structure that Is compatible with
safety and modern exigencies, one that will
neither burn nor be materially effects 1
by any fire In or near It. And It Is to
build a structure whose outer walls are
of brick and terra cotta not stone or
rranlte, because !oth of these are actually
dangeroua in a fire end whose structural
parts are of steel, thoroughly protected
with cement and absolutely encased in
hollow, fireproof tile, and whose floors
are of hollow, fireproof tile arches and
the partitions of brick or hollow tile.
This method of construction Is nearly
thirty years old; It originated In this coun
try. In Chicago, and has been Improved
year by year by experience and study and
today It can be called as near perfect as
we humans have reached. It has with
stood the test of time, and fire after fire,
In those buildings and ull about them, has
proven beyond a doubt that thlafluodo of
construction and that alona Is worthy of
ths term "fireproof."
Improved methods of manufacture have
greatly lessened the cost of this construc
tion; meanwhile the cost of lumber has
been steadily Increasing until today there
Is actually very little difference In the cost
of the two methods. When one considers
the amount of danger his property Is ex
posed to If wood Is used, the cost of In
surance, the deterioration of materials,
etc., why, to build of anything else but
this fireproof construction Is folly, actu
ally extravagant, and Indeed criminal a
senseless doing of something simply be
cause your grandfather did It so. I can
think of no other possible reason, illogical
as that one may seem.
Concrete Kot Always Good.
In the last few years a new form of con
struction has been foisted upon the peo
ple. It Is called "monolithic concrete floor
construction," a srheme of making floors
of twenty and more feet span of wire, with
a little more or less questionable concrete,
frequently composed of but purtially com
busted cinders around and over thi t-e wires.
It Is, perhaps, a fascinating system for ex
uberant and IrreFponslblo young engineers
to experiment with, but the very nature of
the materials from which concrete Is made
renders such construction, to use a very
mild term, exceedingly hazardous. No bet
ter material e'.lsts than concrete for Its
legitimate purpose; UkeaUe Is glass a good
material for windows, but I would as soon
make a wide-spanned floor of plateglavs
as of concrete. We know that It will not
actually burn (though I have seen cinder
concrete (low like a coal In a flre, but we
also know tbat la ninety caaea out of 100
the life and strength of that material are
totally destroyed by fire. But, worse still,
there Is absolutely no assurance that at
any minute, during the construction or lato
In the life of a structure so built, the
whole thing will not, of Its own weight
and unnatural application and Inherent un
fitness, utterly collapse, carrying every
thing with it. Indeed, during the past year,
there have been fifteen such oollapses that
I know of, and undoubtedly many have es
caped my attention, generally In buildings
that were not even completed, yet most of
them entailing Ions of life. In those cases
the Uvea of the poor workman, rather than
those of the tenants, were sacrificed and
there are some who say that that In Itself
la an advantage of concrete, because If
collapse occurs It Is liable to happen before
the building la occupied.
Do Not Practice False Economy.
Tha only argument that Is ever presented
by those who favor that construction Is
that It is cheaper than steel and tile. A
building erected by any of the systems of
concrete and as well built as can be by
the best, and of materials In which there
is the least possibility-vof failure, will In
every case cost more than If built of the
standard steel and tile construction. Bo
that when advocates of those systems
preach their cheapness It Is clmrly evident
that they are advising the use of the very
poorest materials countenanced by even
those Inferior systems. It Is simply a fad,
a disastrously criminal one at that. The
Iroquois theater In Chicago wus a "con
crete" structure. The fire, though hundreds
of Uvea were destroyed, may not have ma
terially affected this structure, because In
itself It was not a severe conflagration;
but we are Justified In saying that it Is
hardly reasonable to expect anyone to pro
vide sufficient means of escape. In cose of
fire, good management and the Intelligent
direction of things In general that would
have prevented that hnrror, who would con
struct a building of any such system. The
Investigation Is proving that there was a
total disregard of the most ordinary pre
cautions against such an occurrence.
Let tha building ordinances bs revised,
let them specify that all buildings within
the fire limits of cities, and everything over
two stories In height, or where numbers
of people congregate, pliall be of absolutely
fireproof construction; then let them dellne
what fireproof construction Is, and let that
definition describe In clearcut and precise
terms the only method of construction
that Is known to be what Is claimed for It
and that has withstood the tests of time
and of fire. K. W. FITZPATRICK.

MID-WINTER BUILDING BOOM
I'nusual Activity la Shown by Itecorda
for the Month Just
Cloning.
Figures compiled by Chief Clerk Orotte
of the building department show that the
January Just rlo.-lng has been marked by
nioro construction of new buildings than
any midwinter month in the history of the
department. Tho record of the month
shows penlts were issued for new build
ings estimated to cost tK3,f5. Last year
the figure were J22,9'.7 and in previous
years less. Only two permits for extraor
dinary structures were Issued, they being
for the First Baptist church, liC.OOO, and
the Ilygfla Creamery company's building,
$:0,0O0. The others were for dwellings.
"A midwinter building boom such as that
