CHICAGOPUBLISHER'S CAUTION THE PUBLISHERS OF THIS BOOK Have secured twenty-eight copyrights in the United States. Any publisher or other person whomsoever infringing these copyrights will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. PRINTERS are cautioned not to reprint this book without the direct authority of J. W. Ritchie & Co., as the penalty fixed by the international copyright laws also give the publishers and authors protection from the printer as well as pirates. The twenty-eight copyrights mean that there has been that many different title pages set, and there is scarcely a possible chauce to juggle the title so as to evade the interpre- tations of the law. We do not object, or do we desire, to handicap any of our comrades in the profession, but we assuredly would like to retain a few of the ideas that research in the fields of profitable schemes give us a priority to the claim of being the parents.

In describing the construction of the buildings be- longing to the various classes before enumerated, the follow- ing definitions of terms shall apply throughout this ordinance: The term “Fire-proof Construction” shall apply to all build- ings in which all parts that carry weights or resist strains, and also all stairs and all elevator enclosures and their contents, are made entirely of incombustible material, and in which ail metallic structural members are protected against the effects of fire by coverings of a material which must be entirely incom- bustible and a slow heat conductor. The materials which shall be considered as fulfilling the conditions of fire-proof covering are: First, brick, second, hollow tiles of burnt clay applied to the metal in a bed of mortar and constructed in such manner that there shall be two air spaces of at least three-fourths of an inch each by the width of the metal surface to be covered, within the said clay covering; third, porous terra cotta which shall be at least two inches thick, and shall also be applied di- rect to the metal in a bed of mortar; fourth, two layers of plas- tering on metal lath. In buildings of this type all doors or window mullions, whether vertical or horizontal, shall be faced with cast iron, terra cotta or other incombustible material of equal fire resist- ing values. The term “Skeleton Construction” shall apply to all buildings wherein all external and internal loads and strains are trans- mitted from the tox> of the building to the foundations by a skeleton or frame work of metal. In such metal frame work the beams and girders shall be riveted to each other at their respective junction points. If pillars made of rolled iron or steel are used, their different parts shall be riveted to each other, and the beams and girders resting upon them shall have rivet- ed connections to unite them with the pillars. If cast iron pil- lars are used, each successive pillar shall be bolted to the one below it by at least three bolts not less than five-eighths inch in diameter, and the beams and girders shall be bolted to the pillars. At each line of floor or roof beams, lateral connection between the ends of the beams and girders shall be made by passing wrought iron or steel straps across or through the cast iron column, in such manner as to rigidly connect the beams and girders with each other in the direction of their length. These straps shall be made of wrought iron or steel and shall be riveted to the flanges or to the webs of the beams and girders.74 ADVERTISMENTS. M. M. DUTTON, Wm. GRACE, Secretary. President. F. D.

But if the walls of hollow tiles are used as filling between the members of the skeleton construction, they shall be of the full thickness specified for non-skeleton buildings. The term “Slow-burning Construction,” shall apply to all buildings in which the structural members which carry the loads and strains which come upon the floors and roof thereof are made wholly or in part of combustible material, but throughout which the combustible as well as the incombustible materials shall be protected against injury from fire, by cover- ings of incombustible non-heat-conducting materials similar to those described under the head of “Skeleton Construction,” ex- cept that a single covering of plastering on metal lath and metal furring shall be considered sufficient protection for the underside or joists, and that a deafening of mortar, mineral wood or their equivalent, applied at least 1% inches thick, shall be used to cover all floor and roof surfaces above the joists of the same. Where oak posts of greater sectional area than 100 square inches are used, they need not have special fire-proof covering. All partitions and all elevator enclosures in buildings of this type shall be made entirely of incombustible material. The use of wood furring or of stud partitions shall not be al- lowed in buildings of this class. The term “Mill Construction” shall apply to all buildings in which all the girders and joists supporting floors and roof have a sectional area of not less than 72 square inches, and above the joists of which there is laid a solid timber floor of thickness not less than 3% inches thick. Wooden posts used in buildings of this class shall not be of smaller sectional area than 100 square inches. Partitions and elevator enclosures in buildings of this class shall be made entirely of incombustible material. If iron pillars, girders or beams are used in buildings of this class, they shall be protected as provided for fire-proof build- ings; but the wooden posts, girders and joists need not be pro- tected by fire-proof covering. The use of wood furring, wood laths or steel partitions shall not be permitted in buildings of this class. By the term “Ordinary Construction,” as used in this ordin- ance, is meant the ordinary system of construction in which timber and iron structural parts are not protected with fire resisting coverings.76 ADVERTISEMENTS.

Carrying stress of building material, floor surface, etc. SEC. 171. No building of Class I shall be built with a strength of floor construction in any part thereof less than suffi- cient to carry, within the limits of stress for the different materials elsewhere herein specified, a load of 150 pounds for each square foot of floor surface; and the strength of such building shall be increased above the capacity to carry 150 pounds per square foot of floor surface, if the uses to which such building or part thereof is to be applied, involves greater stress. Duties of architects, owners, builders and agents, in class 1., to display placard stating the carrying load of floors. SEC. 172. It shall be the duty of the owner of every build- ing of Class I, already constructed or hereafter to be construct- ed, or of his agent or of the occupant of the same to affix and display conspicuously on each floor of such building a placard stating the load per square foot of floor surface which may be with safety applied to that particular floor, or if the strength of different parts of any floor varies, then there shall be such placards for each varying part of such floor. It shall be un- lawful to load any such floors or any part thereof to a greater extent that the load indicated upon such placards. It shall be the duty of occupants of buildings to maintain such placards during their occupation of the premises, and the owners of buildings or their agents, to cause the same to be properly affixed with each change of occupation. It shall be part of the duty of the architects of all buildings to calculate the figures for such placard, which are to be verified and approved by the Commissioner of Buildings before they are affixed upon the respective floors, of the different buildings. Floors in buildings of class II., III. and IV., including frame buildings SEC. 173. For buildings of Class II, III and IV, including frame buildings outside of the fire limits, the fioor shall be designed and constructed in such manner as to be capable of bearing in all their parts, in addition to the weight of parti- tions and permanent fixtures and mechanisms that may be set upon the same, a live load of 70- pounds for every square foot of surface in such floors. Jn determining the strength of posts and the area of foun- dation for many-storied buildings in buildings of Classes II, III and IV, allowances are to be made for the fact that theBUILDING INSPECTORS’ HAND BOOK. 121 before-mentioned live load of 70 pounds per square foot is but an occasional load, which, rarely occurs simultaneously upon corresponding parts of many floors, and if so, for a very brief period only. Roofs of all buildings of every Kind and class outside of fire limits. SEC. 174. The roofs of all buildings of every kind and class, including frame buildings outside of fire limits, shall be de- signed and constructed in such manner that they will bear a load in addition to their structure and covering of at least 40 pounds for each square foot of horizontal surface, without straining the materials of construction beyond a point 20 per cent less than the limits elsewhere fixed in this ordinance. Remodeling of buildings, and safety of occupants. SEC. 175. Excepting in cases where the immediate safety of the occupants of buildings is concerned, nothing in this ordinance shall be considered as requiring alteration in the con- struction or equipment of buildings existing at the time of the passage of this ordinance and at that time complying with the ordinance at that time in force. If, however, it is desired to enlarge, or in any manner materially modify the construc- tion of any existing building, or to make change in its use or occupation which will transfer it from one class as recognized by this ordinance to another, then before such enlargement or structural change or modification of building is made, or be- fore such change in its use or occupation may be made, the entire building shall be reconstructed or modified in such man- ner as to bring the same when enlarged or altered, or when occupied for its new and different purposes in accordance with the provisions of this ordinance. Thickness of walls in buildings that are altered or modified to com- ply with the ordinance. SEC. 176.

Among the various departments of a steam power plant in which the intelligent, progressive engineer may “make a rec- ord,” none offers so much opportunities as the economies that may be secured by a more intelligent care of the boilers and improvement in burning the fuel or producing the heat. Engine construction and engine room practice are about as near perfect as human methods can be expected to attain, and it is quite generally conceded that while particular makes and types of boilers are to be preferred for certain conditions or purposes, there is little difference in the actual economy of any of the various improved boilers in use. In the furnace, how- ever, the old method still quite generally prevails. In the old practice the fireman is king of the fire room and each fireman thinks he possesses the secret of correct firing, which he would not, on any account, give away to any com- petitor. The progressive modern engineer, however, directs the work in the fire room as fully and as faithfully as he does the work of his assistants in the engine and dynamo room. Steam is heat energy imparted to water. Heat, therefore, is the basis of power in all heat, light or power plants. The best methods for the production and application of heat in the production of steam is therefore the prime factor of economy, and improved methods or furnaces, together with improved fire room practice, are a prime necessity to those engineers who' de- sire to keep at the head of the procession. Proprietors and managers of steam plants will not allow sufficient wages to expect a very high order of intelligence in connection with a fireman’s duties. The only hope, therfore, of the progressive engineer is in selecting and encouraging the most successful and durable of mechanical forms of boiler fur- naces. Every competent engineer knows that when his fire- man carries a fire of proper thickness for the draft and the duty required, the more nearly equal he keeps his fire, the bet- ter be distributes each charge of fact and the quieter be closes238 ADVERTISEMENTS.

And if with careful, even firing he is able to keep his grates clean there will be a near approach to the best results. This, however, requires a degree of skill and a grade of attentiveness seldom, if ever, realized in every-day practice. A mechanical furnace which provides for an automatic feed of the coal and which can be varied to suit variable duty, together with an automatic constant clean- ing of the fire, will enable any competent engineer to control the fire room work so as to secure the highest efficiency with the least friction and best satisfaction, and further, will secure the best possible results in the w^ay of smoke prevention. Every engineer should think enough of his own reputation to insist on having the best form of furnace. Always remember there are four prime essentials to a sat- isfactory boiler furnace, viz: capacity, economy, durability and smoke prevention. A furnace should have capacity to work the boiler not only at and near the rating but to crowd it 30 to 50 per cent, beyond its rating, with an ordinary grade of cheap steam coal. With proper construction this can be done with a mechanical or automatic furnace that is practically smokeless, whether the boilers are crowded or only moderately worked. There are a number of mechanical form's of furnaces on the market and for each one of course, strong claims are made, both by the seller and by enthusiastic users. But it de- volves on engineers to determine which embodies the greater utility. It is not. creditable to engineers generally that there have ben so many unsatisfactory so-called “improvements” of “smoke consumers,” “mechanical stokers,” “down draft,” and other unscientific and impracticable forms of furnaces imposed on owners of steam plants. We know the engineer is not al- ways consulted, but too often when he is, he has not looked the matter up sufficiently to be able to intelligently take a de- cided stand. He who does not know which is the best and why it is better than any other, is not prepared to act as coun- selor for his employer. It is a lamentable fact that mechanical engineers who are professional consulting engineers, as well as architects who assume to decide the questions of equipment of a steam plant, know so little about the requirements of a boiler furnace that they are more often led into endorsing a failure or only partial success than they are instrumental in securing a furnace which will be a credit to their professional knowledge and a continued satisfaction to their client. All thes facts, however unpleasant to look square in the face, only serve to give emphasis to the point sought to be impressed in this article, namely, that in the production and application of heat there is the greatest field for present and future improve-, ment, and that the engineer who, not neglecting his engine room, looks most carefully and intelligently after the work in the boiler room, will break the record and head the procession. Thus far we have principally referred to the form of furnace but there are many details such as proper thickness of fire, in*240 ADVERTISMENTS.BUILDING INSPECTORS’ HAND BOOK. 241 telligent use of chimney damper, keeping boiler surfaces clean, not allowing too great accumulations of ashes in ash pit, or of refuse behind furnace and in the passage way for the gases on their way from furnace to chimney, are details which too often receive little attention and which, if neglected, result in loss of economy as well as damage to the life of furnace and boiler. Every engineer having a steam plant of any size should b« provided with a Pyrometer and Draught Gauge as well as an Indicator. It is important that every engineer know the strength of the chimney draught, that he may know the amount of coal that can be properly burned per square foot of grate used and any ordinary fireman can learn to gauge his fires by the indicated temperature of the escaping gases and learn to avoid unneces- sary poking and other senseless effort to rush his fires. Then, too, the Pyrometer acts as a detector and tell-tale of any lazy neglect on the part of the fireman. If he over-fires or under- fires the Pyrometer register tells on him and enables the en- gineer to know what is wrong when steam either drops or pops. Let every engineer who is ambitious to keep to the front in his profession post himself thoroughly as to the best form of boiler furnace and look carefully after the boiler room. thos. coughlan Hours: 10 to 11 and 3 to 4 T.

Hot water apparatus, where the temperature in the boiler does not exceed 212 degrees, should be adopted for buildings occupied continuously, and where steam from power boilers is not available; for instance, schools, court rooms, hospitals and dwellings; steam, on the other hand, for churches, theaters, public halls occupied at intervals, and such other buildings where steam is used as power and the application of the waste for heating purposes is practicable. The choice of direct or indirect radiation will depend on the construction of the building, and on the purpose for which it is intended. It is sometimes Impossible to obtain sufficient space in walls for heating flues; or it may be objectionable to supply the radiators in the cellar or basement with air that might be contaminated by being taken from near the side- walk, or damp or unclean areas, when it would be an easy matter to supply direct radiators through openings in the win- dow breasts; on the other hand, direct radiators in a room may interfere with the decoration, or it may be difficult to supply the fresh air. Direct radiation is the most economical, for the reason that radiant beat is utilized, while indirect radia- tion is partially lost. DIRECT RADIATION. In direct radiation, the coils or radiators are placed in the room (if possible on the coldest side) they are intended to warm; the fresh air being conveyed to them through flues to the lowest part of the, coils, the flow of air being regulated by a dampen246 ADVERTISEMENTS.

Radiant heat does not heat the air through which it passes to any appreciable extent. The intensity of heat emitted by a plane surface, decreases with the sine of the angle formed at the point of emission; therefore, circular surfaces are more effectual than plane ones. INDIRECT RADIATION. In indirect radiation the coils or raditors are placed in other rooms than those they are intended to heat, generally the basement or cellar, the fresh air being conveyed to them to flues or ducts and heated by contact, and thence through flues or ducts into the various rooms; the quantity of cold air be- ing regulated by dampers. The walls and solid objects in the rooms are heated by contact with the warmed air only. VENTILATION. Ventilation is either natural or mechanical or both, the first being by means of openings, such as windows, doors, etc.; the second, by means of fans or chimneys, and the third, both combined, generally for summer ventilation. MECHANICAL VENTILATION. Vacuum movement: Aspirating chimneys exhaust the air from the rooms, thus creating a partial vacuum for the pure air to occupy, coming through the proper openings. The move- ment of the air in the chimney is produced by heating and rarefying the air in it; the external air, being heavier, tends to push it up out of the chimney; the fire or heater should be at the lowest point of the chimney. Exhaust fans fullfil the same function as aspirating chimneys; they may be lo- cated under the roof or in the cellar—the foul air from them being conveyed, through ducts or shafts, away from the build- ing. The vacuum movement requires the doors and windows to be kept closed during cold weather, so that the fresh air is forced to pass through the heating coils; it has the disadvan- tage of causing inward draughts through crevices, etc. Plenum movement: The air is forced in from without by means of fans, the foul air passing off through outlets in wall or ceiling. In rooms so ventilated there is a slight outward pressure, neutralizing any inward draughts except through the proper channels.248 ADVERTISEMENTS. LA UNDR Y MACHINERY.... OF ALL KINDS S. II.

CURRENT'S. Currents in ventilated rooms are either directed upward or downward; in the upward direction, the pure air is admitted at or near the floor, the impure air passing off at or near the ceiling. In the downward direction, the pure air is admitted at or near the ceiling, or through inlets in the walls near the floor, and the impure air passing off through the floor or open- ings in the walls near the floor. Public places above 15 feet high, where large crowds assemble, should have the upward direction; smaller rooms, offices, dwellings, etc., may be ventil- ated downwards. The pure air inlets should be equally distributed around the room with the outlets for the impure air in such a position as to cause the currents to sweep the whole room, being care- ful, for instance, not to place an outlet directly over an inlet. In the upward movement, the inlets may be in the floor, in risers of platforms, in sides of walls near the floor, in station- ary desks, and in front of stationary benches, etc., etc., etc. The outlets may be in the cornice or ceiling or side of walls near the ceiling. The method requires no change with seasons —the fresh air in summer entering the same way that it does in winter when the coils are heated. In the downward move- ment, on the other hand, the fresh air in summer may be ad- mitted at or near the floor, and passed off at or near the ceil- ing. Where windows are available, and so placed that cur- rents pass through the room, no provisions need be made in either method for summer ventilation except when there is an object to keep them closed to exclude noise and dirt.

As air and water are subject to the same laws in regard to flow, it follows:— First: If the room be perfectly tight, there will be no ex- change or mixture between the color and clear water, and consequently no ventilation. Secondly: If openings be provided on sides, top and bottom of the room, the colored and clear water having the same tem- perature, no mixture or ventilation will occur, except through gradual diffusion equally through all openings. Thirdly: If the clear water be of a higher temperature than the colored, the colored will flow out of the lower open- ings, it being heavier, and the clear water will enter through the upper openings, filling the room as the colored water leaves it. Fourthly: If the clear water be of a lower temperature than the colored, it will enter through the lower openings, pushing the colored water, which is lighter, out of the upper openings. From the above it follows that: In cold weather, when the temperature of a room is higher than the external air, the air should be admitted at the bottom and passed off at top of a room; on the other hand, in warmer weather, when the tem- perature of the room is lower than the external air, the pure air should be admitted at the top and passed off at the bottom. The movement as explained above can be reversed by either the vacuum1 or plenum methods when desirable, but, if possi- ble, the movements caused by artificial means should coincide with and assist those affected by nature (gravity), it being cer- tainly more economical when perfect ventilation is required. Loss of heat in ventilated rooms is caused by:— 1. Units of heat required to warm the air passing through the room. 2. Units of heat absorbed by surrounding wall. 3. Units of heat absorbed by ceiling. 4. Units of heat absorbed by floor. 5. Units of heat absorbed by windows. Source of heat in rooms are: 1. Units of heat generated by the occupants. 2. Units of heat generated by the gas-lights, oil lamps and candles. It has been found by experience that an adult man requires hourly for respiration and transpiration 215 cubic feet of at- mospheric air, or 215xo.077 equals 16.5 lbs., 'and generates about 290 units of heat, of which 99 units are dissipated in the formation of vapor, leaving 190 units to be dissipated by252 ADVERTISEMENTS.

The quantity of air required, and the heat generated by gas- lights can be estimated with sufficient approximation for prac- tical purposes. The specific gravity of gas is about one-half that of atmospheric air, or 0.038 lbs. per cubic foot, and re- quires for complete combustion 0.038x17 equals 0.65 lbs. of air, 0.65 or-----equals 8.44 cubic feet. Each cubic foot of gas burned 0.077 emits about 600 units of heat. An oil lamp with a moderately good wick consumes about 154 grains per hour equals 35 lamps per pound. Each pound of oil demands 150 cubic feet of air for complete combustion, and generates about 16,000 units of heat, or 460 per lamp. Candles, 6 to the lb., may be reckoned the same as a lamp consuming oil, each candle burning about 170 grains per hour. These data, tabulated, give in round numbers:— Cubic Feet.

GENERATORS:— fa.) Must be located in a dry place. (b.) When high potential must be insulated from ground and kept clean and dry. (c.) Must never be placed in a room where any hazard- ous process is carried on, nor in places where they would be exposed to Inflammable gases or flyings of combustible ma- terial. 2. CARE AND ATTENDANCE:— (a.) A competent man must be kept on duty iu the room where generators are operating. (b.) Oily waste must be kept in approved metal cans and daily.270 BUILDING INSPECTORS’ HAND BOOK. Approved waste cans shall be made of metal, with legs raising can three inches from the floor, and with self-closing covers. 3. CONDUCTORS:— From generators, switchboards, rheostats or other instru- ments, and thence to outside lines, conductors. (a.) Must be in plain sight or readily accessible. (b.) Must be wholly on non-combustible insulators, such as glass or porcelain, or in approved conduit. (c.)

Must be covered with non-inflammable insulating mate- rial sufficient to prevent accidental contact, except that “bus bars” may be made of bare metal. (f.) Must have ample carrying capacity to prevent undue heating. 4. Switchboards:— (a.) Must be so placed as to reduce to a minimum the dan- ger of communicating fire to adjacent combustible material. Special attention is called to the fact that switchboards should not be built down to the floor, nor up to the ceiling, but a space of at least eighteen inches, or two feet, should be left between the floor and the board, and between the ceiling and the board, in order to prevent fire from communicating from the switchboard to the floor or ceiling, and also to prevent the forming of a partially concealed space very liable to be used for storage or rubbish and oily waste. (b.) Must be accessible from all sides when the connections are on the back, or may be placed against a brick or stone wall when the wiring is entirely on the face. (c.) Must be kept free from moisture. (d.) Must be made of non-combustible material, such as slate or marble. (e.)

These strips or wires must be run as nearly as possible in a straight line from the arresters to the earth connection. Id.) Must be so constructed as not to maintain an arc after the discharge has passed, and must have no moving parts. It is recommended to all electric light and power companies that arresters be connected at intervals over systems in such numbers and so located as to prevent ordinary discharges en- tering, over the wires, buildings connected to the lines. 7. TESTING:— (a.) All series and alternating circuits must be tested for insulation every two hours while in operation, to discover any leakage to earth, abnormal in view of the potential and method of operation. (b.) Data obtained from all tests must be preserved for ex- amination by inspectors having jurisdiction. These rules on testing to be applied at such places as may be designated by the inspector having jurisdiction. MOTORS, 8. MOTORS:— (a.)

Telegraph, telephone and similar wires must not be placed on the same cross-arm with electric light or power wires. 11. SERVICE BLOCKS:— Must be covered over their entire surface with at least two coats of waterproof paint. INTERIOR CONDUCTORS. 12. ALL INTERIOR CONDUCTORS:— (a.) Must be covered where they enter buildings from out- side terminal insulators to and through the walls w'ith extra waterproof insulation and must have drip loops outside. The hole through which the conductor passes must be bushed with waterproof and non-combustible insulating tube, slanting up- ward toward the inside. The tube must be sealed with tape, thoroughly painted, and securing the tube to the wire. (b.) Must be arranged to enter and leave the building through a double-contact service switch, which will effectually close the main circuit and disconnect the interior wires when it is turned “off.” The switch must be so constructed that it shall be automatic in its action, not stopping between points when started, and prevent an arc between the points under all circumstances; it must indicate on inspection whether the current be “on” or “off,” and be mounted in a non-combustible case, and kept free from moisture, and easy of access to police or firemen. So-called “snap switches” shall not be used on high-potential circuits. (c.) Must be always in plain sight, except that conductors may be placed in approved steel or iron armored conduit. Note—Moulding construction will not be allowed. (d.) Must have an approved insulating covering.274 BUILDING INSPECTORS’ HAND BOOK. The insulating covering of the wire to be approved under this section must be solid, at least 3-64 of an inch in thickness, and covered with a substantial braid. It must not readily carry fire, must show an insulating resistance of one megohm per mile after two weeks’ submersion in water at 70 degrees Fahrenheit, and three days’ submersion in lime water, with a current at 550 volts potential after three minutes’ electrifica- tion, and must also withstand a satisfactory test against such chemical compounds as mixtures as it will be liable to be subjected to in the risks under consideration. (e.) Must be supported on glass or porcelain insulators, and kept rigidly at least eight inches from each other, except with- in the structure of lamps or on hanger-boards, qpt-out boxes, or the like, where less distance is necessary; tie wires must have an insulation equal to the conductors they confine. (f.) Must be separated from contact with walls, floors, tim- bers or partitions through which they may pass by non-com- bustible, non-absorptive, insulating tubes, such as glass or porcelain, or approved conduit. (g.) Must be so spliced or joined as to be both mechan- ically and electrically secure without solder. They must then be soldered, to insure preservation, and covered with an insu- lation equal to that on the conductors. (h.) Must be protected from mechanical injury, when neces- sary, on side walls, by a substantial boxing, retaining an air space of one inch around the conductors, closed at the top, and extending not less than five feet from the floor. LAMPS AND OTHER DEVICES. 13. ARC LAMPS—In every case:— (a.) Must be carefully isolated from inflammable material, (b.) Must be provided at all times with a glass globe sur- rounding the arc, securely fastened upon a closed base. No broken or cracked globes to be used. (c.) Must be provided with an approved hand-switch, also an automatic switch that will shunt the current around the carbons should they fail to feed properly. The hand-switch to be approved, if placed anywhere except on the lamp itself, must comply with requirements for switches on hanger-boards as laid down in Section g of Rule 13. (d.) Must be provided with reliable stops to prevent carbons from falling out in case the clamps become loose. (e.) Must be carefully insulated from the circuit in all their exposed parts. (f.) Must, be provided with a wire netting (having a mesh not exceeding one and one-quarter inches) around the globe, and an approved spark arrestor above, to prevent escape of sparks, melted copper or carbon, where readily inflammableBUILDING INSPECTORS’ HAND BOOK. 275 material is in the vicinity of the lamps. It is recommended that plain carbons, not coipper-plated, be used for lamps in such places. An approved spark arrester is one which will so close the upper orifice of the globe that it will be impossible for any sparks thrown oft by the carbons to escape. Arc lamps when used in places where they are exposed to flyings of easily inflammable material should have the carbons enclosed completely in the globe in such manner as to avoid the necessity for spark arresters. For the present, spark ar- resters will not be required on so-called “inverted arc” lamps. (g.) Hanger-boards must be so constructed that all wires and current-carrying devices thereon shall be exposed to view and thoroughly insulated by being mounted on a non-combus- tible, non-absorptive, insulating substance. All switches at- tached to the same must be so constructed that they shall be automatic in their action, cutting oft both poles to the lamp, not stopping between points when started and preventing an arc between points under all circumstances. (h.) Where hanger-boards are not used, lamps must be hung from insulated supports other than their conductors. 14. INCANDESCENT LAMPS IN SERIES CIRCUITS HAY- ING A MAXIMUM POTENTIAL OF 300 VOLTS OR OVER:— (a.) Incandescent lamps on arc light circuits will not be permitted. Class C. LOW-POTENTIAL SYSTEMS. 300 VOLTS OR LESS. OUTSIDE CONDUCTORS. 15. OUTSIDE OVERHEAD CONDUCTORS:— (a.) Must be erected in accordance with the rules for high- potential conductors. (b.) Must be separated not less than 12 inches, and be pro- vided with an approved fusible cut-out, that will cut oft the entire current as near as possible to the entrance to the build- ing and inside the walls. An approved fusible cut-out must comply with the sections of Rules 23 and 24 describing fuses and cut-outs. The cut-out required by the section must be placed so as to protect the switch required by Rule 17.276 BUILDING INSPECTORS’ HAND BOOK. 16. UNDERGROUND CONDUCTORS:— (a.) Must be protected, when brought into a building, against moisture and mechanical injury, and all combustible material must be kept removed from the immediate vicinity. (b.) Must have a switch and a cut-out for each wire be- tween the underground conductors and the interior wiring when the two parts of the wiring are connected. These switches and fuses must be placed in a cabinet painted with insulating paint, as near as possible to the end of the underground conduit, and connected therewith by spe- cially insulated conductors, kept apart not less than two and one-half inches. The cut-out required by this section must be placed so as to protect the switch. (c.) Must not be so arranged as to shunt the current through a building around any service cut-out. INSIDE WIRING. GENERAL RULES. 17. At the service entrance of every building there shall be an approved switch placed in the service conductors by which the current may be entirely cut off. The switch required by this rule to be approved must be of such construction that each wire entering the building will be disconnected when the switch is open, must plainly indi- cate whether the current is “on” or “off,” and must comply with Rule 26 relating to switches. 18. CONDUCTORS:— (a.) Must have an approved insulating covering, and must not be of sizes smaller than No. 14 B. & S., No. 16 B. W. G., or No. 4 E. S. G., except as allowed under Rule 27 (d) and 31 (a). The insulating covering of the wire to be approved under this section must be solid, at least 3-64 of an inch in thickness, and covered with a substantial braid. It must not readily carry fire, must show an insulating resistance of one megohm per mile after two weeks’ submersion in water at 70 degrees Fahrenheit, and three days’ submersion in lime water, with a current at 550 volts potential, after three minutes’ electrifica- tion, and must also withstand a satisfactory test against suchBUILDING INSPECTORS’ HAND BOOK. 27? chemical compounds or mixtures as it will be liable to be subjected to in the risk under consideration. (b.) Must be protected when passing through floors, walls, partitions, timbers, etc., by non-combustible, non-absorptive, insulating tubes, such as glass, porcelain, or approved con- duit. (c.) Must be kept free from contact with gas, water or other metallic piping, or any other conductors or conducting material which they may cross, by some continuous and firmly fixed non-conductor, creating a separation of at least one inch. De- viations from this rule may sometimes be allowed by special permission. (d.) Must be so placed in wet places that an air space will be left between conductors and pipes in crossing, and the former must be run in such a way that they cannot come in contact with the pipe accidentally. Wires should be run over all pipes upon which moisture is likely to gather, or which by leaking might cause trouble on a circuit. (e.) Must be so spliced or joined as to be both mechan- ically and electrically secure without solder. They must then be soldered, to insure preservation, and covered with an insu- lation equal to that on the conductors. (f.) Must be protected from mechanical injury, when neces- sary on side walls, by a substantial boxing, retaining an air space of one inch around the conductors, closed at the top, and extending not less than five feet from the floor, or by an iron or steel armored conduit, sufficiently strong to withstand the strain it will be subjected to, the inner insulating tubing to extend one-half inch beyond the ends of the metal tube, which must extend not less than five feet from the floor. 19. WIRING NOT INCASED IN MOULDING OR AP- PROVED CONDUIT:— (a.) Must be supported wholly on non-combustible insula- tors, constructed so as to prevent the insulating coverings of the wires from coming in contact with other substances than the insulating supports; tie wires must have an insulation equal to that of the conductors they confine. (b.) Must be so arranged that wires of opposite polarity, with a difference of potential of 150 volts or less, will be kept apart at least two and one-half inches. (c.) Must have the above distance increased proportion- ately where a higher voltage is used. (d.) Must not be laid in plaster, cement or similar finish, (e,) Must never be fastened with staples,278 BUILDING INSPECTORS’ HAND BOOK. IN UNFINISHED LOFTS, BETWEEN FLOOR AND CEIL- ’ INGS, IN PARTITIONS AND OTHER CONCEALED PLACES, (f.) Must have at least one inch clear air space surrounding them. (g.) Must be at least ten inches apart when possible, and should be run singly on separate timbers or studding. (h.) Wires run as above immediately under roofs, in prox- imity to water tanks or pipes, will be considered as exposed to moisture. (i.) When from the nature of the case it is impossible to place concealed wire on non-combustible insulating supports of glass or porcelain, the wires may be fished on the loop sys- tem, if encased throughout in approved continuous flexible tubing or conduit. (j.) Wires must not be fished for any great distance, and only in places where the Inspector can satisfy himself that the above rules have been complied with. (k.) Twin wires must never be employed in this class of concealed work. (1.) Insulating supports must not be placed more than eight (8) feet apart. 20. MOULDINGS:— (a.) Other than of hard wood will not be allowed. (b.) Must never be used in concealed work or in damp places. (c.)

TO ARCHITECTS AND ELECTRICAL CON- TRACTORS. In order to prevent, as far as possible, the placing in service of inferior and dangerous electrical devices, which will not pass inspection, and the consequent loss to contractors and others, you are respectfully requested to require that all electrical de- vices purchased by you be guaranteed to pass the inspection of the City Electrical Inspection Department. The use of the wire ways for rendering concealed wiring permanently accessible, is most heartily endorsed and recom- mended; and this method of accessible concealed construction is advised for general use. Architects are urged, when drawing plans and specifications, to make provision for the channeling and pocketing of build- ’ ings for electric light or power wires, and in specifications for electric gas lighting to require a two-wire circuit, whether the building is to be wired for electric lighting or not, so that no part of the gas fixtures or gas piping be allowed to be used for the gas lighting circuit.290 ADVERTISEMENT.

JACKSON STREET - ....CHICAGOBUILDING INSPECTORS’ HAND BOOK. 291 ELECTRIC LIGHT WIRING FOR HOUSE PURPOSES. In order to obtain the best and nearest results, architects and owners of buildings in process of erection should make ample provision for electric wiring for lights, annunciators, or channels of suitable size, say from one to two inches square, should be left to all points at which it is likely that a lamp, an- nunciator, push button, etc., might at any time in the future be located; proper openings should be left through the partitions at suitable places between ceilings and floors; the risers through which the wires or cables are passed from one floor to another should be ample in size. It is advisable to insert at a suitable point in the wainscoting of each floor a neat box provided with lock and key, in which the cut-outs, switches, and, if necessary, the battery cells can be located; the entire system should be carefully laid out with a view to drawing in the wires and cables subsequently, without cutting floors or walls. A still better plan is to lay in the building, during or after its erection, a tube of fire and water-proof material, just as gas pipes are laid; these tubes may be of tin or iron, and preferably lined with an insulating substance, or they may be paper tubes specially treated to make them fire and water- proof ; the cables or wires can be drawn into these, tubes with great facility, and connected to the lamps at any point de- sired, the wires being continuously enclosed in a fire-proof tube. No fire can result from a short circuit; if preparations of this kind are made when the building is under construc- tion the difficulty of wiring will be greatly lessened, and the cost of the work to the owner materially reduced. This mat- ter, in these days, should have the same care and study as steam and gas pipes. Where no such provisions have been made, the methods of wiring houses are three in number: Cleat work, the cheapest method, in which the wires are visible, and secured to the ceiling or walls at short intervals by hardwood cleats. Moulding work, in which the wires are covered by wooden mouldings; this sj^stem is more expensive than cleat work, but it is much neater in appearance. Concealed work. This L the most difficult method of wir- ing, unless it is done in a new building before the lathing, plastering and floors have been begun, in which case it is comparatively simple. Whatever plan is adopted for wiring a house, the work should be done with the greatest care, and should be placed in the hands of strictly reliable and responsible men; and where a house is wired for electric lights, special care should be taken to the quality of insulating, etc,392 ADVERTISEMENTS, Selling Agent_ Rubber Covered Wire J.

State of Illinois.... ----Especially arranged ----For this Book. . . .310 BUILDING INSPECTORS’ HAND BOOK. Lien Laws of me Slate of Illinois. MECHANICS’ LIEN. Persons entitled to Lien. Persons entitled to a lien are all those who by contract with the owner of any lot or piece of land, furnish labor or materials, or services as architect or superintendent, in building, altering, repairing or ornamenting any house or other building or appurtenance thereto, on such lot, or upon any street or alley and connected with such build- ing or appurtenance. Subcontractors, mechanics and workmen who, in pursuance of the purposes of the contract between the owner and original contractor, furnish labor or material are also entitled to lien. It has been held that house-painters are entitled to the lien, and so, under some circumstances, are persons who have con- tributed material or labor to the erection of an engine or ma- chinery upon the premises. The lien does not attach in favor of persons contributing labor or materials to the erection of fences, or providing houses with lightning rods; nor are house-movers entitled to a Iren for moving a house. One who contracts with a subcontract, and is therefore a sub-subcontractor, is not entitled to a lien. The Contract. The contract above referred to, under which material is furnished or work done, may be verbal or written, or it may be partly verbal and partly in writing.BUILDING INSPECTORS HAND BOOK. 311 It may be an express contract—i. e., a contract the terms of which were openly and fully avowed at the time of making it; it may be an implied contract—i. e., such a contract as rea- son and justice dictate, where, in the absence of an express contract, work is done or material furnished at the instance of the owner or at his request or with his knowledge and ap- proval; or finally the contract may be partly expressed and partly implied. If the contract is expressed, no lien shall be created if the time stipulated for the completion of the work or furnishing materials is beyond three years from the commencement thereof. If the contract is implied no lien shall be created unless the work is done or materials furnished within one year from the commencement of the work or delivery of materials . If a contract is expressed as to all but the time within which the work is to be done or materials furnished, it is as to these an implied contract, and the work must be done or materials furnished within one year to create a lien. The contract must relate to some specific lot or tract of land to create a lien. Merely furnishing materials on open account creates no lien upon the property to which they may afterwards become at- tached. A contract with the authorized agent of the owner, is a con- tract with the owner. Persons dealing with an agent, must know the extent of his authority. A husband may act as his wife’s agent or vice versa, but such agency is not presumed to exist. A contract with a minor creates no lien upon the minor’s lands. Extent of the Lien. The lien extends to the whole of the lot or tract of land upon which the building, or appurtenance thereto, is erected as well as to the building itself or any ap- purtenance thereto. And the lien attaches to any estate or interest which the person for whom the work was done or materials furnished, may have in the premises at the time of making the contract, whether it be an estate in fee, for life, for years or any other estate, or a right of redemption or other- interest. No lien attaches to state, county and public school property; such property being exempt from sale on execution,312 BUILDING INSPECTORS’ HAND BOOK. Unfinished Contracts. If the owner of the land fails to per- form his part of the contract, and by reason thereof the other party, without fault of his own, is prevented from performing his part of the contract, the latter is entitled to a lien for such compensation as the work already done or materials furnished are reasonably worth on the basis of the whole con- tract price . Preferences. Among persons having liens no preference is given to him whose contract is first made, but all share, in proportion to the amounts of their several claims, in the pro- ceeds of the property sold to satisfy the liens. Any creditor having a lien man contest the right of any other creditor to a lien or the amount of his claim. Any person entitled to a lien and whose claim is not due at the time of commencement of a suit by any other person, can become a party to such suit, and his claim will be allowed subject to a reduction of interest from the date of judgment to the time such claim is due and payable. Encumbrances. An encumbrance upon land does not oper- ate on the building erected or the materials furnished, until the lien in favor of the person who has done the work or fur- nished the materials, has been satisfied. An encumbrance put upon land prior to the making of a con- tract for improvements thereon, is only preferred to the ex- tent of the value of the land at the time the contract for the improvement was made. An encumbrance put upon land after a contract for improve- ments thereon is made, does not deprive the contractor of his lien on both the land and the improvements erected thereon. Any incumbrance shown to be in fraud of the rights of other creditors, may be set aside. Waiver and Discharge of Liens. By taking other security the contractor waives his lien. Taking the owner’s note, unless taken in absolute payment, is not a waiver of the lien. Part payment of a claim does not discharge the lien as to any balance still due. Destruction of the improvements by fire or storm does not discharge the lien. Failure to commence suit within the statutory time dis- charges the lien. Contractor’s Statement. The statute requires the originalBUILDING INSPECTORS’ HAND BOOK. 313 contractor whenever any payment of money becomes due from the owner or whenever he desires to draw any money from the owner, lessee or his agent, on his contract, to make out and give to the owner, lessee or his agent a sworn statement con- taining the name of every sub-contractor, mechanic and work- man in his employ, or person furnishing materials and the rate of wages or the terms of contract, and the amount due or to become due to them or any of them; and until such sworn statement is given as required, the contractor has no right of action or lien against the owner. The owner may at any time during the progress of the work, demand in writing of the contractor the statement above de- scribed, and if the contractor fails to furnish such statement within five days after demand is made, he forfeits to the owner for every such offense the sum of fifty dollars, recoverable in an action of debt. The Preservation and Enforcement of Liens. Every person seeking the benefit of the lien law must file with the clerk of the circuit court of the proper county, a sworn statement, set- ting forth the amount due him, the time when material was furnished or labor performed, and containing a correct descrip- tion of the property to be charged with the lien. The sworn statement above described must be filled within four months after the last payment has become due and pay- able. „ Under ordinary circumstances, suit to enforce the lien must be commenced within two years after the above described statement is filed with the clerk. If, however, the owner, his agent or any person interested in the real estate, demands in writing that the person claiming the lien begin suit forthwith to enforce the same, then suit must be commenced within thirty days after demand made, or the lien will be forfeited. Whenever a lien has been claimed by filing with the clerk of the circuit court the sworn statement above described, and the amount shown by such statement to be due is afterward paid, the person claiming the lien shall acknowledge satisfac- tion thereof, in a book kept by the clerk of the court for that purpose; and by a failure to make such acknowledgment for ten days after payment of his claim, a contractor forfeits twenty-five dollars to the owner. Sub-contractors, Mechanics and Workmen. Every sub-con- tractor, mechanic and workman or other person who, in pur- suance of the purposes of the original contract between the owner of any lot or piece of ground, or his agent and the orig-314 BUILDING INSPECTORS’ HAND BOOK. inal contractor, performs any labor or furnishes material in building, altering, repairing, beautifying or ornamenting any house or other building or appurtenance thereto, on such lot or on any street or alley and connected with such building or ap- purtenance, shall have a lien for the value of such labor and materials upon such houses or building and appurtenance, and upon the lot or land upon which the same stands, to the ex- tent of the right, title and interest of such owner at the time of making the original contract for such house or improve- ment. The aggregate of all liens of sub-contractors, mechanics and workmen shall not exceed the price stipulated in the con- tract between the owner and original contractor for the im- provements, unless, for the purpose of defrauding sub-con- tractors, mechanics and workmen, an unreasonably low price was fixed in such contract; in which case the contract price shall be raised to the fair value of the work done or materials furnished, but this raise in the contract price shall not inure to the benefit of the original contractor. It is made the duty of the original contractor, whenever any payment of money becomes due from the owner, or whenever he desires to draw any money from the owner, lessee or his agent, on his contract, to make out and give to the owner, lessee or his agent a sworn statement containing the name of every sub-contractor, mechanic and workman in his employ, or per- son furnishing materials, and the rate of wages or the terms of contract and the amount due or to become due to them or any of them; and thereupon the owner, lessee or his agent shall retain out of the money due or to become due the con- tractor an amount sufficient to pay all demands shown to be due by the contractor’s statement, and shall pay the same to the persons entitled. Any payment of money made by the owner, lessee or his agent before such statement is had from the contractor, is il- legal, and does not affect the rights of sub-contractors, me- chanics and workmen to a lien. If the sworn statement of the contractor serves to give the owner, lessee or his agent true notice of the amount due The sub-contractor, mechanic or workman, the latter he shall have a lien without any other or further notice to the owner, lessee or his agent; otherwise, such sub-contractor, mechanic or work- man shall,/ within forty days from the completion of his sub- contract or within forty days after payment thereon should have been made, cause a written notice to be served on the owner or his agent, substantially in the following form;BUILDING INSPECTORS’ HAND* BOOK. 315 To...................................... You are hereby notified that I have been employed by.................................to (here state whether to labor or furnish material and substantially the nature of the undertaking or demand) upon your (here state the building and where situated in general terms) and that I shall hold the (building, or as the case may be) and your in- terest in the grounds liable for the amount that (is or may be- come) due me on account thereof. Date........................Signature........................ If there is a written contract between the original contractor and the sub-contractor, a copy of it, if obtainable, should be attached to the above notice and served with it. If the owner is a non-resident of the county in which the improvement is made, or cannot be found in such county, the notice must be filed with the clerk o fthe circuit court and a copy of it published in some newspaper printed in that county, for four weeks successively after filing the same with the clerk; and if there is no paper published in the county, then the notice shall be posted in four of the most principal places in the vicinity of the improvement. The claim of a sub-contractor, mechanic or workman shall be a lien only in so far as the owner is indebted to the con- tractor at the time of giving such notice, or may become in- debted afterward to him as contractor. When the owner or his agent is notified as above stated, he may retain out of any money due or to become due the orig- inal contractor, an amount sufficient to pay all demands due sub-contractors, mechanics and workmen or other persons, so notifying him, and pay the same over to the ersons entitled; and payments so made shall be the same as payments to the original contractor. If the amount due the original contractor is not sufficient to pay in full the claims of the persons notifying the owner, it shall be divided pro rata among such persons in proportion to the amounts due them respectively. If the owner does not pay sub-contractors, mechanics and workmen the amounts due them, within ten days after he has notice of such indebtedness, then they may, if at that time any money is due from the owner to the original contractor, pro- ceed to enforce their liens in the same manner as the liens of original contractors are enforced. Where several sub-contractors, mechanics and workmen have liens upon the same premises, and the owner of the premises or any of those having liens fears that the amount due the original contractor is not sufficient to satisfy all such liens, the owner or any one or more of those having liens, may, by proper proceedings in the circut court, have the amount due316 BUILDING INSPECTORS’ HAND BOOK. tlie original contractor and the amount due each of the persons having liens, ^ascertained, and whatever is due the original contractor shall be distributed pro rata among those having liens, if it is not sufficient to pay their claims in full. If, for any cause, the original contractor fails to complete his contract, sub-contractors, mechanics and workmen shall, nevertheless, have liens for what the work done by them or materials furnished is reasonably worth according to the orig- inal contract price, first deducting whatever the owner has rightfullly paid on such original contract and any damages he may have sustained by reason of the non-fulfillment of such original contract. Sub-contractors, mechanics and workmen must begin suits to enforce their liens within three months from the time of the performance of the sub-contract, or doing the work or furnish- ing materials, not reckoning, however, any delay caused in consequence of the amount not being due the original con- tractor. Architects’ Certificates. Generally an architect is employed by the owner, and payments are made only upon the architect’s certificates issued from time to time as the work progresses. Such certificates ought only to be issued after contractors have given the sworn statement which the lien law requires them to make. The owner can only avoid paying certificates executed by mistake or obtained through fraud. The owner cannot avoid payment of certificates on the ground that the work is not completed or that it is not prop- erly done, for as to these matters the owner is bound by the decision of the architect. General Observations. The lien law is strictly construed, and persons wishing to avail themselves of its benefits must comply strictly with its provisions. The acts of the last legislature wrought numerous and im- portant changes in the lien law, and the law as it now stands should be closely studied, as well by those who were familiar with the old law, as by those to whom the present law is en- tirely new. Building contracts should, as far as practicable, be reduced to writing—this insures greater certainty and tends to avoid disputes. In general it is safer to deal directly with principals than with their agents; and in dealing with the latter, be sure that they have authority and are not exceeding it. Before signing a building contract read the whole of it, and understand the whole of it; and, above all, see that it describes the lot upon which the building is to be erected, that the timeBUILDING INSPECTORS’ HAND BOOK 317 for tlie commencement and completion of the work is clearly stated, and that the contract price and times of payment are mentioned and understood. Where it becomes necessary to do “extra work,” it is always well, and sometimes absolutely necessary, to have the contract for the “extras” reduced to writing. A claim for “extras” will support a lien. IUW$‘ sii isJsSi ^JsSi ►sjjSi 'r* :-r? Old and Reliable.
