It is made of wrought and malleable iron, and will not break or get out of order. Simple in construction. SKYLIGHT WORKS, G. BICKELHOUPT 242 & 245 West 47th St., New York.

THE ATELIER FITZWILLIAM, AUDITORIUM BUILD- SPECIAL SKETCH COMPETITION. COMPETITIONS. shall not exceed 26 feet. Thus a broad roadway for vehicles at the lower level nearest the sea, and a narrower way for pedestrians on a higher plane, will run parallel each to each and to the coast-line. Requirements.-The object of this problem is to design the hillside wall, and particularly a drinkingfountain for horses, in connection with this wall. In addition to the fulfilment of practical requirements this fountain should be architecturally adorned, and since it is imperative that it shall occupy as little of the roadway as possible, the fountain shall be in the form of a grand niche intersecting the hillside wall and extending beneath the pedestrian's walk. The horse trough, however, shall occupy space on the driveway. The water will be supplied by artificial means and the fountain shall be entirely of masonry. Drawings.-A plan, a section and an elevation showing a portion of the wall on either side, are required, all at the scale of 3-16 inch equals one foot. The rendering will be left to the discretion of the designer, but the paper must be cut to the uniform size of 10" x 18". Send drawings unmounted to the Atelier Fitzwilliam on, or before, September 30th, 1900. Any deviation from the programme of requirements will debar the candidate from the competition. No further instructions are needed or will be given. 1288 PERA-HOUSE. OPE FURNITURE.

Preamble. In a suburban district of a city of 250,000 people it is proposed to cut a roadway around the base of a hill which extends in a rapid slope upward from the sea. A wall low enough not to obstruct the view shall separate the driveway from the sea, and the hillside of driveway shall be closed by a perpendicular wall of masonry. This wall is to be capped by a balustrade for the protection of a pedestrian's walk located on the hillside at that height. The total height of this wall including the balustrade [At San Juan, P.

Every merchant knows their value as trade producers. Where stores are on principal streets, or have an evening trade, the correct lighting of these window displays, while costing no more than incorrect lighting, brings increased trade. They Should be as Effective in the Evening as During the Day Is THE correct light for this purpose. It is the result of years of experience in lighting the rarest and costliest works of Art in America. Essentially the same principles, the same powerful reflecting surfaces are used as in the FRINK SYSTEM adopted by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, and in many other noted public and private art galleries throughout the U. S. It has been adopted by leading stores throughout the country. Licensed to Manufacture PROPOSALS. SCHOOL-HOUSE.

JAMES KNOX TAYLOR, Supervising Architect. 1288 ADDRESS THE EDITORS OF THE AMERICAN ARCHITECT. SECTION 7. It is unprofessional to make altera. tions of a building designed by another architect, within ten years of its completion, without ascertaining that the owner refuses to employ the original designer, or, in event of the property having changed hands, with out due notice to the said designer. * SECTION 8. It is unprofessional to attempt to supplant an architect after definite steps have been taken toward his employment. SECTION 9. It is unprofessional for a Member to criticise in the public prints the professional conduct or work of another architect except over his own name or under the authority of a professional journal. SECTION 10. It is unprofessional to furnish de signs in competition for private work or for public work, unless for proper compensation, and unless a competent professional adviser is employed to draw up the "conditions" and assist in the award. SECTION II. No Member should submit draw. ings except as an original contributor in any duly instituted competition, or attempt to secure any work for which such a competition remains undecided. SECTION 12. The American Institute of Architects' "schedule of charges" represents mini, mum rates for full, faithful and competent service. It is the duty of every architect to charge higher rates whenever the demand for his services will justify the increase, rather than to accept work to which he cannot give proper personal attention. SECTION 13. No Member shall compete in amount of commission, or offer to work for less than another, in order to secure the work. SECTION 14. It is unprofessional to enter into competition with or to consult with an archi. tect who has been dishonorably expelled from the "Institute" or "Society." * SECTION 15. The assumption of the title of "Architect" should be held to mean that the bearer has the professional knowledge and natural ability needed for the proper invention, illustration and supervision of all building operations which he may undertake. SECTION 16. A Member should so conduct his practice as to forward the cause of professional education and render all possible help to juniors, draughtsmen and students. |
