S.E. Architect’s sketch of the new warehouse and delivery center Palais Royal, Inc,, on First construction of CENTER PLANNED FOR PALAIS ROYAL Modern Delivery-Warehouse Building Site Acquired by Department Store. With the acquisition of a tract of land on First street northeast, between L and M streets, the Palais Royal, Inc., local department store, today announced plans for a modern delivery and w: house building, to be constructed on the site. Plans for the structure are being drawn by Abbott, Merkt & Co. of New York, in collaboration with Frederic G. Pyle, local architect. At present the delivery and ware- house activities for this store are car- ried on in a number of remote build- ings, and it is planned to consolidate all of these units in cne building. some work rooms and stock now housed in the main store building will be moved to the new warehouse building. Construction Is Sturdy. ‘The new building will be four stories high, with basement under the front portion. Tt will be 150 feet wide by 191 feet deep on the ground floor, and either 150 or 175 feet deep on the upper three floors. It will be of reinforced concrete flat slab construction, with brick exterior, steel sash and fireproof throughcut. The ground floor will house the de- livery department and will have truck driveways on each side and a commu- nicating driveway in the rear. The dispatch room will be equipped with a central belt conveyor and steel stubbers’ | and package bins, as well as a super- intendent’s office, return goods room, cashier, etc. There also will be a motor repair shop on this floor and convenient provisicn for the fueling and washing of cars. The furniture finishing room will be on the ground floor also, im- mediately adjacent to the furniture bins, so there will be no elevator handling of furniture from finishing room to drivers’ bins. A large oonvenient receiving plat- form will be provided at the front of the building, with two large freight elevators immediately adjoining it and also connecting with the dispatch room, so as to provide short and convenfent handling of all merchandise coming into and going out from the upper floors. The entire building has been ar- ranged so that in the future it can be enlarged and extended toward the rear, —— 2027 Cathedr Also | planned by street northeast between L and M streets, bids for the which socn will be asked. to occupy the entire lot, which measures 150 by 250 feet. The basement has been kept small in size. for econcmy of construction, and will house the heating plant and other | mechanical equipment, together with an incinerator and a rubbish room which is fed by a vertical rubbish chute run- | ning through all floors of the building. There also will be locker rooms for the drivers and other men working on the ground floor. |~ The upper floors will be used for work rooms, packing rooms and the storage of varicus types of merchandise, BALTIMORE BUILDING LEAN DURING 1930 1$30,000,000 Total Lags Behind | 1929, Which Was Far From Setting Record for Activity. | special Dispaten to The star. BALTIMORE, December 6.—Unless December shows a decided improve- ment over the other 11 months of this | year, which is held unlikely, 1930 will | 8o down Baltimore history as a lean | building year. | For the first 10 months of the cur- |rent year, operations, as evidenced by the aggrégate value indicated in the building permits, amounted to $28,- 840,552. For the corresponding period of 1929, which was hardly a record- | breaker, the total was $37.488,600. For the entire year of 192 of the building permit: k ‘When the permits issued during No- | vember are taken into consideration, as well as the prospects for business for the rest of this month, it does not | seem Jikely that total operations for 11931 will go far above $30,000,000. BUILDING DEATHS LEAD tatistics on Construction Accidents Compiled by Architects’ Group. | “Construction accidents are a serious | > | problem, and the building construction | industry holds the unenviable distinc- | tion of being the cause of more deaths than occur in any other branch of | work,” it is stated by the Health and | Safety Committee of the American In- stitute of Architects. “The most serious accidents occur in | the larger cities. In New York City last as compared with $441 in the State as a whole. The State of New York mad: compensation awards on 104,848 acci- | dent cases last year, paying $35,000,000, | or $3,000.000 more than in the previous year.
