CHIifEYS OF
BRICK PASSING
Concrete block chimneys reen forced
with steel rods are a late Invention
by a Brussels builder. A novel feature
of the invention Is that the chimney
can be built without the use of scaf
folding. These chimneys are becoming
very popular and bid fair In a ahor
time to entirely auDDlant brick In thn
districts where' concrete haa come into
general use.
The concrete blocks are of large else,
permitting rapid construction, and the
provision for securing the liiwr in tha
emmney construction is particularly In
gemuua. 101 cuauroa siaes Of me
molds in which the blocks are made
are in three pieces only, and the ends
of the molds are formed by wooden
stop blocks. By adjusting the noaltlon
of these stop blocks, the length of the
concret block can be altered to suit
the course In which it la placed, thus
securing the taper of the chlmnev with.
out multiplying the number of molds.
ine cbimney is polygonal in cross sec
tion, and may be built with 6, 8, 10,
12 or more sides, accordlna to the alcn
of tfte structure.
'Section 1. That the words in section
1 of ordinance No. 16997 reading: In
no brick building shall the floor and
roof loads be transmitted to the founda
tions except by heavy posts and girders
throughout No hotel building shall be
erected above four atories unless it be
constructed rire-proof throughout,' be
changed te read: 'The floor and roof
loads in all brick buildings, except those
erected outside of the fire limits of the
city of Portland under five (S) stories
in height for use or occurjation as
apartmenf houses, dwelling houses,

than 60 feet apart, shall be transmitted
