AHCIIITKCTl'ltK , October 1. Tho Central DONT BE A I1TEWAD ADVERTISE IN THE BOOSTER uplifting, picceptlon of tho "Safety First" Idea 'that Inspired prehistoric man to reach Into tho leafy branches for tho knotted club" which enjoyed pop ularity for so long, nnd tho develop ment of tho principal later found ex picsslon In tho Ark, David's casual selection of six stones, and llrynn's resignation from tho cabinet. In jfnet, from creation's dawn, tho prim i clpal has been pretty 'generally roc I agnized by every ono except tho ar my nnd navy department of tho Unit ed States. Its obscrvanco has giv en humnnlty tho usoofidita bag nnd I tho fresh pain bIkii, and has uniform 1 od tho policeman so that his up 'pi ouch can be readily dotcctcd. Central Avenuo has applied the 'idea well, altlioug much remains to !bo done to put us In tlio van of tlio 1 movement. f On West Central, automobiles .ihnvo to drive ,very carefully, not only for their own safety, but to pro 'vent Injury to people In tho houses by flying nails nnd fragments of I planks. Tills Insures a measure of safety to pedestrians It they wnlk with caution. Down town, that most common danger of being lowtncklcd by a speeding automo bile Is dossoncd by 'tho fact that , all nutos run with their cut-outb wldo open, so that pedestrians are 'nmply warned. This Is required by city ordinance. On tho Central Avo nuo bridge, careless speeding would endanger tho Mill Slough drain box, Jarring It looso from its moorings, and would also glvo such an uneven motion to tho car that tho occu pants would bo liablo to seasickness; so ip real speeding docs not begin until the populous business center Is reached. Thero Is always eomo danger at tending tho construction of now buildings, nnd tho public has long been In dread of tho work on tht brick block nt tho corner of Second nnd Central; but Is beginning to he stoical, and to think that It this structure must go up anyway, xvo must bo careful, nnd mako tho best of It. A garago offers somo dan gerous features, but tho ono on Con. tral Avenuo plainly warns tho pub lie by painting tho direction "dodge'1 In big letters on tho front. Wo sup pose this suggests poaslblo dangor from explosions, or emerging cars, "routed" wrong. Quito an advance could bo in a do by MAHSHl'MHLD, Ore. To tho Hdltor of Avenuo Houston Wo object to tho somewhat fre quent nnd Insinuating references liimlo In your columns to the arch itectural design of the business housov of the water company on Central avenuo. It only goes to bhow your lack of discrimination In Judging between the renaissance, which It affects, in so far us tho architecture of that period partook of simplicity and grace, and tho moro modern school. Wo do not wish to bo understood as saying that it is a replica or any par titular building of any particular era, tho architect who designed it was allowed what latitude ho wish ed. Tho Water Company's building pioneered tho district nnd naturally had Its Influence on tho architec ture Immediately following tho per iod In which It wns built. Wltnois, thu Masonic Temple, another struc ture following tho simplicity of lines of tho period to which wo cnll at tention. Tlio Tower block of n liU'ie modorn dato of fabrication goes In more for solidity, nnd leans to (he statelier style of architecture, hut still did not escape cntlroly tho 'nfliionco of tho pnttorn of tho dls- tiii.'t. Tho Hague, rtf still m oil 3 ni onroptlou, wo havo been unablo f) clusslfy architecturally. It niiint havo been an Inspiration, Is In a clatm by It.self, but is a gom io' ortholess, though departing quite radically from tho ploneor. Tho Nohlo block, to which you re fer xvlth fo much gusto, in our oplu loa is entirely outclassed, It leaves too lilt lo to tho Imagination and tr-ndii too much to modernism. Thoro nro other buildings on tho street of which wo havo our opin ion, but will refrain from giving tho owners offenso by giving expression to them on condition that you bo moro guarded In future In your art criticisms. After nil Is said and dono xvo shall still bo of tho opinion tli.it tho structuro of tho Water Com pany will out "wnro" thorn all. lly order of tho President, (J. II. V.)
