IMPROVED EQUIPMENT |<
MAY SEND BUILDINGS
UP TO SIXTY STORIES
CLEVELAND, June 9.—(/P)—Build
ing owners and managers, faced with
improvements in mechanical equip
ment wrhich prospect a new type ot
office building that can raise its
head to 60 stories, will give this
feature prominent discussion when
they meet in convention here June
8-12.
Another project ot growing impor
tance is that of the skyscraper ga
rage, according to Lee Thompson
Smith, president of the National As
sociation of Building Owners and
Managers. The availability ol park
ing facilities may soon become a de
termining factor in the selection ol
offices, in view of the growing pop
ularity of automobiles as a means of
transportation, said Mr. Smith.
“With downtown land values at
high rates it is obviously impossible
to provide free parking space,” he
declared. “The provision of parking
space is a definite service that is
worth a charge. This brings us
squarely face-to-face with the ques
tion of garages, upon w-hich then
tenants have first call. These gar
ages, without the use of elevators,
run up to eight stories.
“We have recently formed a com
mittee which is devoting much time
to the study of this important prob
lem, and it is hoped that this com
mittee at the convention will be able
to give membership of the associa
tion a definite recommendation for
meeting this problem since rental
values are being affected in many
cities by the availability of parking
facilities.”
The convention also will consider
the extension of the building plan
ning service of the organization,
which provides for the architects
and owners of prospective buildings
the benefit of the experience of the
leading managers of the nation in
planning their buildings.
"The building planning service,”
said President Smith, “has taken the
guesswork out of office building con
struction. Its advent marks the de
parture of the old type of office
building monument, built to gratify
the vanity of a firm or individual of
wealth, without thought to its eco
nomic soundness.”
Advance registrations indicate that
there will be at least 700 building
ow:ners and managers present.
Taught School In
Alaska 3 Years; Is
For Hawaiian Isles
MISS ANNA HUGHES ARRIVES IN
SEWARD FROM RUBY EN
ROUTE TO HONOLULU.
After teaching school in Alaska
for the past three years Miss Anna
Hughes has decided to shake the
dust of the territory and “mush on*’
to the Paradise of the Pacific, Hono
lulu. Miss Hughes arrived in Sew
ard on last Saturday’s train from
Ruby, where she taught school this
past winter. In 1923 she taught
school at Russian Mission and the
year following at Rampart.
Miss Hughes, who had fourteen pu
pils in her school at Ruby, this year,
says the weather there this winter
was cold and lots of snow, but every
one in the old camp seemed to en
joy themselves and there w'as very
little sickness of any kind.
At Poormans, Miss Hughes says,
there was some very good dirt un
covered this winter. Two men who
prospected all winter at Novikaket,
where Johnson was reported to have
made a good strike last year, arrived
in Ruby just before Miss Hughes left
there and said they intended return
ing and doing further prospecting in
that region. They said gold had been
found but no pay had been uncovered
• yet, and that there were quite a
. number of men in there prospecting.
Miss Hughes, who sailed on the
1 Yukon Sunday made her home over
I night at the Van Gilder hotel.
