Speaking for the American Institute of Architect* and Society of Beau Arts, Ernest Flagg, an architect, oppotmd the recommendation of the commission because it fixed the limit of height so high "that scarcely anyone would care to build higher.” Mr. Flagg point»! out the danger from congestion in times of sudden panic. If the people in all the 300-foot buildings which the new regulations would allow to be constructed were to attempt to get out at once. "The street»,” «included Mr. Flagg, "could not hold them. To continue this policy is to invite a disaster the |ik<- of which has never been known.” The committee on congestion of |xip- ulation submitted figures to show that in London, Paris, Berlin, Vienna an»! every large center of population in Euro|s- the maximum height perinitt»! is considerably lex* than 100 feet. The New York Board of tire under writers and the Municipal Art commis sion also voiced opposition to tho 300 and 350-foot limitation. No action was taken by the alder men.

Lumber Going by Water From Pacific to Chicago His Idea Chicago, Nov. 9. Vice President Fairbank» we* the princi|>al *; m aker at th»- banquet of tho Bunkers' Club of Chicago tonight. In discussing “The Panama Canal" Mr. Fairbanks said: "Hand in hand with the construction of the Panama canal should go the im provement of our great rivers so ax to insure an *d«-qu*te stage of water and reasonable charges for the tr«n»|x rta- tion of the prixluct* of cur farms and factories over large areas. "The recent adoption of a constitu tional amendment by th»' people of Illi nois, empowering the legislature to authorise a lx>n«l issue of 120,000,000 for giving Chicago an outlet by a deep wuterway to th« Mississippi river, is an important and significant step and we can indulge the belief that in the course of a few years upon the comple tion of this enterprise and the Panama canal, lumber an«i other product* from th«' Pacific coast will be delivered in Chicago by an all-water route, and that Chicago will, in short, enjoy many im provements and advantage* of cheap transportation which are to flow from the completion of both of these great undertaking». ” UNEARTH HUGE SWINDLE.
