FORTY-ONE STORIES. Tower That Will Loom 625 Foot into Nw . the Skies. New York Herald. Completed plans have been filed in the -building department of the new Singer Building with its 41-story tower . The location is to be the site of the present. Singer Building, en larged by adjacent property. The tower will be 625 'Feot, high, the highest commercial building ever known and higher than any church spire in the United States. Its con struction will 'present n' -lovel pro blem-except in the engineer's ealcula tions for residence to wind pressure. The erection of the walls, the provi sions for their rateral strengtli and the foundation can all be readily planned. The wind strain will require anoth or set of calculations. Even in binid ings of moderate height the wind strain m'ust be .considered. It is qine of the most delicate factors of cal culation in large bridges. Where a bridge is built on piers, so tihat, the wind leverage acts more closely to the point of support, the strain is nothing like so great as in I sispen sion bridge. So in a tall building the win(d strain increases theoretically as the square of the height and practical ly somewhat more, as a high tower has not the protection of surrounding buildings. The greater the base in superficial area the easier it is to construct a high tower safely. But the new Sin ger tower will be anchored to a 41 story building with a large base, so that the engineering proble' of tle wind strain is larrely confined to the lower strietlure above the 14-story main building, and the foundation problem concerns only the struet'ural weight. With the limited area of the finan cial and business center of New York and the hiigh cost of land it will be comle 1110r and More. necessary to build very tall office buildings to se cure adequate retu-ns on investment. If a $6,000,000 build.ing will give twice the floor area of a $3,000,000 build ing, and the land in 'ither ease cost $3,000.000 it is obvious that anl ad ditional investment of .50 per ceit. will doluble the reintal inconie. This financial ar-lument makes the new Singer Hiilding only tle pioneer of taller office buildings. A New Roard Across the Continent. Technical World.
