MONTREAL, Quebec, June 15.—The office bullding of the future will not only soar to great heights, but it will likewise plumb the depths, going down so far that solid rock will block further progress or so deep that cofferdam walls will be too bulky and expensive to keep out the surrounding subsurface water at | great depths under pressure, | This picture of the future office build- | ing, rising in a city of multilevel streets | and sidewalks was painted by Clarence | T. Coley, operating manager of the | Equitable Bullding of New York City. | “The future office building will be | erected on plots with minimum dimen- | slons of 200 feet by 200 feet and up to | whole city blocks 200 feet by 800 feet,” said Mr. Coley. “Even those plots may | not be deemed adequate for some build- ings and we will find them constructed upon multiple blocks with the streets running through arched tunnels as is done through the New York Municipal Building over Chambers street and the New York Central Building over Park | avenue. Predicts Double-Deck Streets. “We will have double-decked h- speed automobile streets; double. sidewalks and street cross-overs; surface sidewalks and passage ways to subsurface transportation facilities. All of these follow naturally in handling the concentration of people. “Large building lot areas fully devel- oped by office buildings have the fol- lowing advantages: Greater rentable area per cubic volume constructed. Less steel per rentable area produced. Less face wall constructed per rentable area produced. Better lay-out possible of usable space for all tenants’ demands. Better internal transportation facilities. Less overhead per unit of rentable space, More square feet of rentable area served for a dollar of maintenance labor. Better and more service avail- able for use of the tenants. Greater diversity of tenant occupancy. Greater possibility for future tenant expansion and greater net on capital in: " Mr, Coley predicted that the steel frames of the office buildings of the fu- They will be fireproof, water-resisting and highly efficient in heat insula Visions a Faster Age.

Radio reception from several broadcast channels will be available for speeches, market quota- tions, etc., from base plugs in offices. employes throughout the bullding, with each employe carrying a small receiver in_his pocket. People passing into the building will have their shoes automatically cleaned beneath grids at the entrances. All hardware, plumbing and even the time- honored cuspidors will be plated with either chromium or durogold. which will require no polishing. Elevator cabs will have an entrance and an exit door. A speed of 2,000 feet per minute will be made by the elevators, which will make stops five or ten floors apart, thereby adopting the express stop system used in rapid transit subway systems. The cars will be without operators, making only definitely predetermined stops, be- ing dispatched at regular intervals, au- tomatically closing the door and to pres vent closing the cab door on a passen- ger, light rays using selenium cells will hold open the door as a passenger en- ters.

MONTREAL, Quebec, June 15.—The | most important problem today con- fronting owners of central business df trict property, is proviskn of a tei minus for the automobile, which is coming & more rapidly increasing fa tor in metropolitan transportation. This declaration was made by Capt. M. W. McIntyre of Cincinnati at the twenty-second annual convention of the National Association of Bullding owx;en and Managers, held here this week. Capt. McIntyre pointed out the fact that, in most large cities throughout the United States, parking restrictions are becoming more stringent each year, and that in some of the larger cities down- town parking is entirely prohibited witlh the result that automobile owners are facing great difficulties in finding a place to park their cars. The solution of the problem, accord- ing to Capt. McIntyre, is in the con- struction of “skyscraper” garages, which he recommends should go as high as 10 stories. “The increasing use of automoblles for business purposes makes it imper- ative that the office bullding owners and managers take full recognition of the fact that a garage connection is es- sential to the successful management of the office building,” sald Capt. Mc- Intyre. “Passenger automobiles are in- creasing rapidly in all parts of the country. There are approximately 450 passenger cars in use for each 1,000 adults in the States Ofu\the M!ddlehA'-- lantic group; the Pacific group shows 736 cusn .nfi the average for the United States is 585 for every 1,000 adults. “The sutomobile public must be taken care of and parking facilities afforded the tenants in office buildings as well as a parking service for the tenants’ clientele. The sooner office W{gl:;: owners and managers e 1 stablish garage faciities, in connection with their office buildings, the better it will be for the buildings. A garage assists materially in renting office space. “In operaling & garage In conjunction with an office building the garage should be handled as » separate and distinct organization—not as a sideline. The public is willing to plz for good service. The efclent administration of a garage is most essential for success.
