TOO MUEH SHAKING IN MUNICPAL BUILDING TOWER FOR LABORATORY Standard Testing Department's, Propased Home Proves Impossible. ‘The towers of the Municipal Bulld- Ing, forty stories above the pavement, Tock #0 persintently in the high winds that one of the most important of the | « city departments cannot move in there. The Standard Testing Laboratory ox-! amines everything bought by the city of New York from horse feed and | gasoline to paving blocks and b i of asphalt. Very finely attune: extremely dolicate machines and scales a used in the tests. At pres- ent the arters of this branch the city’s ‘epartments is located in Worth etrest. It was proposed to transfer it to the tower, where there are a number of floors regarded by| experts as ideally located for the peculiar work of the testing labora- tory. Francis W. Perry, engineer of con- struction under Bridge Commissioner Frederick J. H. Kraoke, has explained to the Sinking Fund Commission why the tower will not do as the future! homé for the testing laboratory. He Says all the big towers on Manhattan ts tee pas the tops of lonesome pines in galos that rush up the bay or come across the river from the north- weet. Of course, you can't see them e@way, but the towers of the Municl- e Building and those of the Singer, ‘oolworth and Metropolitan Build- inga bend and bow to each other every day. But Sinking Fund Commision does not propose to abandon the tower because it rocks. As a matter of fact, engineers will tell you that the rocking is all part of the skyscraper game, and that a tower that did not rook would not be regarded safe, AS proof positive that the tower is safe, the Sinking Fund Commission is ca grant Bridge Commissioner ea Fequest that one or two of its floors be converted into a resta: famt for the female city employ City Chamberlain Bruere conceived | the restaurant for women idea, and Commissioner Kracke is Conger J it} @ut.
