UT of the wrangle stirred up by the Aldermanic Committee, | the architects and various interested contractors and patent | holders over the revision of the building code, a question Is New York’s building code fairly open to the charge of being em old-fashioned, inadequate affair, tinkered and re-tinkered from time to time, but never with the best expert advice available? a Notwithstanding the fact that fire losses arc notoriously higher here than in European cities, has New York in framing its building | Tegulstions rarely, if ever, taken advantage of the experience of | other capitals? * Why? Why should this city be content to go on facing the figures quoted by Architect Flagg, which show that our fire loss is above $5.00 per capita as against 30 cents in France? Is New York forever committed to a stupid policy of ref te believe that any other city in the world can teach it anything? Does some ridiculous notion of pride compel us to put up with thoddy building construction, to shut our eyes and refuse to admit ‘there is anything better? Aldermen and local purveyors of building material can never evolve owt of their own ignorance or self-interest a proper building code for New York. The best experience of the whole world should be at our service. We can afford to have it. We can’t efford not to have it. Why must stupid insular indifference withhold it from us? nsieetarerninenneiendpitreeeneemiemeee Comptroller Prendergast announces his withdrawal from 1° the Progressive party.
