Star-—May 1 ask your courteous | notice of a few points which are of consider- able im to this community. In country towns, where the builder bas his full sway and is not cramped by an inspec- tor of buildings, it fs exceptional to find a houre in which some of the simplest precau- | tions are not neglected. Chimneys are built on poor foundations or without them, far- rings are secured to the brick work of flues, timbers are set into or against them, poor mortar and soft bricks are used, trimmer arches are omitted, &c. It remains a mys- tery why fires do ‘not oftener occur from neglect or Jgnorance in such matters. Build- ers fail ag jhese common-sense points as frequently Upon tbe more difficult— though equally importart ones—or drain- age and ventilation, in which failures must be anticipated in theabsence of legal re- quirements. In view of these facts, it be- comes evident that not only the simple and easily-applied precautions against unsafe chimneys, but the common sanitary appli- | ances of ‘drainage. if they can be properly formulated , should be required by law. It is bighly ecessary 10 apply some practical remedy for the prevailing insecurity and in- stability of our dwellings. The evil can be reacbed only by the enactment of proper rules and regniations, the enforcement of whieh should be !ntrusted to an architect of c= experience and high standing in pis profession—one who has mastered the subject of hygiene and thoroughly appre- ciates its importance. And thus, as sanitary science advances, we should enjoy the ees fruits of civilization,viz: Cleanliness, safety ud health. VERITAS. One Cause of Hard Times Fa.
