Height of Buildings. The next regulations of interest are those referring to the height of buildings. The new regulations provide under this head: Sec. 40. No building shall be erected nor altered on any street in the District of Columbia to exceed in height above the sidewalk the width of the street in its front, and in no case shall a building ex- ceed ninety feet in height on a resident street, nor one hundred and ten feet on a business street as defined in these regula- tions, except on avenues one hundred and sixty feet wide, where a height not exceed- ing one hundred and thirty feet may be allowed when the lot is of sufficient front- age and depth, in the judgment of the Commissioners, to justify the same. Provided, that the height of buildings on corner lots, in all cases, shall be regulated by the limitations governing on the broad- er street. Provided further, that spires, towers and domes may be erected to a greater height than the limit hereinbefore prescribed, when approved by the Commissioners of the District of Columbia. Concerning excavations, the only, im- portant change is that which provides that when they are made ample protection must be afforded by the persons causing the same. Another change mentioned is that every building erected without cellar shall have in the walls below the floor level in front and rear not less than four ventilators, each rot less than five by twelve inches. A new regulation of importance is that in respect of foundations. Provision for these is made, as follows: Pile Foundations. Sec. 47. Where pile foundations are used, borings of the soil shall first be made to determine the position of the underlying stratum of hard clay or rock, and the piles shall be made long enough to reach hard clay or rock, and they shall be driven down to reach the same, and such piles shall not be loaded more than twenty-five tons to each pile. The heads of the piles are to be protected against splitting while they are being driven, and after having heen driven the piles are to be sawed off to uni- form level and covered with an oak tim- ber grillage, so proportioned that in the transmission of strains from pile to pile the extreme fiber strain in the timbers composing the grillage shall not be more than 1,200 pounds to the square inch. Sec. 48. The fcundation walls of every building must be built of brick, stone cr other hard and incombustible material, and where there is a cellar or basement in a dwelling hous2 the walls below the surface of the ground shall be fully protecied from dampness by an exterior covering of hydraulic cement, or slate bedded in cement. In case of the removal of a terrace the walls shall be underpinned, so far as, in the opinion of the inspector of buildings, it may be necessary. A Course of Slate. Section 49. A course of slate must be worked in all walls to the full width of the walls, two cotrses above the surface of the ground, end an additional course above footings in exterior walls, where there is a cellar or basement. Feundation walls of rubble shall not be used in build- ings over forty feet in height, except third- class buildings outside the fire limits. Where rubble is used, one-third of the bulk of the wall shall be built of through stone and thoroughly bonded. No round or bowlder stone shall be used, and if the foundation is on piles, the lower course shall be ot block stone or concrete. Foundations of rubble shall be 25 per cent thicker than 1s required for other foundations. ounda- tion walls of brick shall be at least thirteen inches thick, and at least four inches thicker than the walls next above them to a depth of twelve feet below the street grade; and for every additional ten feet, or part thereof, in depth they shall be increased four inches in thickness. Foun- dations shall be thick enough to resist any Jateral pressure, and the inspecior of buildings may order an increase of thick- for that purpose. Section 50. The use of soft bricks is pro- hibited in foundations. The bond of brick- work shali be formed by iaying one course of headers for every five courses of stretch- Woman is never in 80 great and so real danger as she is when she neglects to take proper care of herself “and take the right precautions during the period preceding motherhood. If she is suffering from weakness and disease of the organs dis- tinctly feminine, and neglects to take the needful remedy, she is running the risk of great suffering, the loss of her baby, and possibly the loss of her own life. This isa great and unnecessary risk torun. By tak- ing the proper precautions during the ex- pectant period, she may avoid the usual dis- comforts, and make it certain that the coming of baby will be safe and easy with- out danger either to the mother or child. The best of all medicines at this critical time is Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. It cures all forms of weakness and disease peculiar to women. It does away with the nausea of the period preceding motherhood. It makes parturition casy, painless, and free from danger. You can get it at the drug store. If yoy want to know more about it, write to Dr. R. V. Pierce, chief consulting physician to the Invalids’ Hotel and Sur- gical Institute, Buffalo. N. Y. Mrs. Emma Crowder, of Anthoston, Henderson, Co., Ky., writes: “Iwas once a sufferer from fe maie trouble. Have been using your medicines for it and have been almost entirely cured. Tcan truthfully say that one bottle of your ‘ Favorite Prescription’ did me more good than our family hysician did in six months. He attended me for womb trouble previous to the commencement of taking your medicines and tollowing your ad- vice. It is now my firm belief that I would have been cured years ago if I had taken your med- icine sooner. - : ‘To further eulogize the good merits of your medicines will say that before taking your med- icines I had miscarried twice, and since taking it have given birth to a fine healthy boy who is a pride of the household. Besides this m monthty periods nsed to be accompanied wit! terrible pains and uneasiness and cramps, and your medicines cured that.” Dr. Pierce’s Pellets cure Constipation, old folks like to hear —the children can’t HIRES Rootbeer is composed of the very ingredients the ratem ine the nerves, puri Svea tee ence ance people. ‘The Charts S Sllerbe, Pita, Ameiap mebee 5 cuttens. ers. All joints, longitudinal as well as transverse, shall -be’ thoroughiy filled with mortar, and each,brigk shall be bedded in mortar under its entire surface. Brick .Piers. Sec. 51. In buildéng zbrick piers receiving concentrated lortis there shall be pro- vided at every offsetiin each pier or at every point whene: suah brick pier receives the load a bond stonesat least eight inches thick, and at tha: topl of each pier a cap- stone at least ten-inthes thick. or in all such cases a bond plate of cast or rolled fron, which stones or_plates, if at the top of such piers, shall cover the entire surface of such pier, and Shal¥in all cases be adapt- ed to receiving thé load to be imposed and shall be made of a4strength which will keep the fiber strain upon the material used within the limits elsewhere herein Stated. If the Wéight of piers is four times that of tlielr smallest dimensions, there shall be a bond stone or bond plate ag above described inserted in the middle of such pter. For all piers higher than the above there shall be a hond stone or bond plate for each distance in height equal to double that of the smallest dimension of such pier. Quality of Brickwork. Sec. 52. All brickwork shall be of sound, well-shaped bricks, well laid and bedded in mortar, with well-filled joints, as required by section thirty-seven, and well flushed up at every course with mortar. Bricks laid between April to October, inclusive, shall be wet at the time they are laid. The use of soft bricks is prohibited in foundations and in all parts of buildings expcsed to the weather and in internal and external piers. Sec. 53. All walls of brick, stone or other similar material, shall be well built, prop- erly bonded and tied and laid with mortar, as required by section thirty-seven. The inside four Inches of ary wall more than nine inches thick mzy, upon a special per- mit issued by the inspector of buildings, be built of hard-burnt, hollow, clay bricks, of quality and dimensions satisfactory to the inspector of buildings, and thoroughly tied and bonded into the wall Bonding Courses. Sec. 54. Brick walls shall have no iess than one heading or bonding course for every tive courses of stretchers, except where walis are faced with face brick, in which case at least every eighth course shall be bonded with Flemish headers or by cutting the corners of the face brick and putting in diagonal headers behind the same or by splitting the brick iongi- tudinally. Special regulations governing the strength of materials used in buildings are provided, and a carefully worked-out schedule of the various standards is given. The object of the regulation is to prevent chs use of inferior materials in construc- lon. Anchoring Walls. Recent experience demonstrated the ne- cessity of additional regulations for an- choring walls. The new regulations con- tain these important sections regarding them: Sec. 79. Beams shall be anchored at each tier into side, end or party walls, at inter- vals of not more than ten feet, with ood, strong, wrought-iron anchors, one-half inch by one inch, well secured into said walls and well fastened to the side of the beams by not less than two wrought-iron nails at least one-fourth of an inch in diamecer, so as to form continuous ties across the build- ing on each floor. In party walls if through anchors are used they must be countersunk or formed so they will not project more than one-half inch from the face of the wall. When joiits ‘fest on girders they must be anchored to the walls, and when the joists pass or:lap they must be thor- oughly spiked together. Walls Must Be; Built Simultaneously. Sec. 80. The walld of every building must be construtted' as nearly simultan- eously as possible; apd in no case shall a wall be built more than eight feet higher than any other unGinibhed wail of the same sttucture, unlesstinder special permission in writing from the inspector of buildings, defining the mariner,’in which the work shall proceed. : Another featuré! of, the new regulations a that known as section 82, under the head o! zr Height of Stortes. “The height of stories for all given thick- nesses of walls must itot exceed eleven feet in the clear for basements, eighteen feet in the clear for the first story, fifteen feet in the clear for the second story, fourteen feet in the clear for the third and fourth stories and fourteen in the clear average height for any upper stories, unless the walls of such story and all the walls below the same shall be increased four inches in thickness additional to the thickness already men- tioned. To insure proper sanitary conditions the new regulations provide, under section 111, that “permits for the erection of buildings will not be issued until the inspector of plumbing shall have certified in writing that the plans of the proposed building pro- vide for compliance with the regulations relating to plumbing, drainage and water supply. “Permits to enlarge or remodel buildings will not be granted until the inspector of plumbing has certified in writing that ar- rangements have been made to comply with the regulations governing plumbing, drain- age and water supply.” Snfety of Floors. As a further means of insuring safety of floors carrying heavy loads section 113 was adopted. It reads as follows: “The owner, agent or occupant of every building existing or hereafter constructed, devoted to the sale, storage or manufac- ture of merchandise, shall affix and. dis- play conspicuously on each floor of such building a placard stating the load per square foot of floor surface which may with safety be applied to that particular floor. If the strength of different parts of a floor varies there shall be such a placard for each varying part of such floor. “Occupants of buildings shall maintain such placards during their occupation of the premises, and the owners of buildings, or their agents, shall cause the same to be renewed when necessary. “Architects of buildings in this class shall calculate the figures for such placards, waich on change of tenants are to be verl- fied and approved by the inspector of build- ings hefore they are affixed upon the ftoors of buildings.” Observation Stands. «A new clause governing the erection of observation stands provides for their ap- proval by the inspector of buildings and prohibits the erection of stands on the roofs of houses. The new regulations governing the con- struction of wooden buildings are material- ly different from any yet in force in the District. They are as follows: Section 123. Wooden buildings may be erected outside of the fire limits, providec that on lands laid out in town lots ng wooden buildings shall be erected or place® within twenty-foun feet of any house built of brick or other ineombustible material, unless the written assent thereto of any owner of such brick..House be first obtained and filed in the office; of the inspector or buildings. A oof Section 130, The-owner or any party in- terested after having obtained a permit from the inspector of;buildings, may mak® necessary repairs; camsistent with these regulations upon a; wooden or frame bulld- ing. A flat roofs covered with metal or other non-combustible material, may be substituted for ; gable or pitch roof. ‘Wooden buildings #vhieh are dilapidated be- yond one-haif of shein original value shall rot be repaired, but-spall be condemned as provided by sectiom fourteen. As to Wodden Structures. Section 181. No.wooflen building shall be erected, constructed, enJarged nor removed within the fire limits except in case of re- moval of houses which have not depreciated more than one-third their original value and where tho written consent of the awn- ers of all property within fifty feet of the Proposed location of such building is given. Frame buildings outside of the fire limits may be moved if not located in violation of any section of these regulations; and in every case of removal of a wooden building @ deposit shall be made, not to exceed $200 —the amount to be determined by the in- Spector of buildings—to indemnify public and private property for damage arising from such removal. The amount so buildings, and the balance, if any, shall be returned to the owner. No wooden building hereafter erected shall exceed in height two stories and man- sard roof, or three stories to the square of the roof. Wooden dwellings when erected in rows shall have brick partition walls at least nine inches thick not more than fifty feet apart; and said walls shall be carried at least six inches above the roof, whether said roof be flat or pitched. No wooden building, to be used for any mechanical business or stable, shall be built at a less distance than thirty feet from a dwelling, church or school house, and such building shall be subject in its construction to such restrictions as the in- spector of buildings shall designate in the permit. All wooden buildngs shall be built upon brick or stone foundations. Temporary wooden sheds may be erected for use of builders in front of or upon the lot on which a building is being erected, and upon vacant adjoining lots with the consent of the owner thereof for storage or other purposes; upon wharves, and for business purposes in coal, wood, lumber, stone and wagon yards, when approved by the Commissioners, in such manner as the ii spector of buildings may direct, consist- ent with these regulations. Concessions Made. - One two-story frame back building, not exceeding ten feet by twelve feet, or 120 square feet of ground area, may be built to a frame house. An additional story, not to exceed ten feet by twelve feet, or 120 sqvare feet floor area, may be built on an existing one-story rear building or kitchen to a frame house, but in that case no other addition shall be made for a bath house. ‘These restrictions as to size of additions to existing frame buildings shall not apply beyond the boundary line of the city on lets 50 feet or more in width, and where such additions will not be within 25 feet of any other building. Rooms may be added in the attic of a substantlally good wocden bullding, with a steep or gable roof of sufficient height to form a story not less than eight feet in the clear. All extensions or enlargements shall be constructed in such manner as the inspector of buildings shall approve. One inclosed shed for fuel or water closet, or one open shed for wagon purposes, not to exceed eleven feet in height at the highest point thereof and not to exceed 250 square feet of ground area, may be erected on the r of a lot, not, however, to encroach upon the space set apart for light and ven- tilation as provided in section 33 of these regulations, and if it be placed at a dis- tance of thirty feet or more from a dwell- ing house it may be roofed with combust- ible material. No chimney shall be erected in such sheds. Certain Prohibitions. No wooden building shall be erected for nor converted to the uses of a cow or hog yard, pen or stable, dairy or mechanical purposcs. Every wooden or frame building within the fire limits, with a brick or other front, which may hereafter be damaged to an ex tent not greater than one-half the value thereof, exclusive of the valuation of its foundation at the time of such damage, may be repaired or rebuilt; but if such damage shall amount to more than one-half of such value thereof, exclusive of the value of the foundation, then such building shall not be repaired or rebuilt, but shall be torn dewn. The amount and extent of such damage shall be determined upon the examination of the building by the in- spector of buildings or one of his assist- ants. Depositories for ashes shall be built of brick or other fireproof material. Governing Private Stables, A new regulation is added concerning the proximity of private stables to dwellings.
