greater attempt than ever tried before.
With the approval by New York's,
building department of plans for the,
proposed 110-story Larkin Tower, on
West Forty-second Street, between
Eighth and Ninth avenues, the way is
clear for actual construction work.
The tallest structure ever erected
by man, it will rise 1,200 feet above!
the street level and go nearly 50 feet
below street level. It will exceed the
Eiffel Tower, Paris, France, in height
by 267 feet.
Its cost of estimated at $25,000,000!
and it gets its name from its designers
and builders, John A. Larkin, presi-
dent of the owning corporation, and
Edward L. Larkin, architect. Theyj
anticipate completion in two years.
Plans call for the use of 55,000 tons
of steel, said toy, be the largest amount'
ever used in single building.
Traffic in the structure is to be.
handled with 61 elevators. Top floors
wil be devoted to observation plat-~
forms.
And not the least of the many
unique features planned is a light at
the top of the uppermost spire, to
guide navigators and night flyers. It

sea as well as far inland.

The only interesting part of the book,!
Henry Ford, is so poorly handled that
not even he is interesting. The last
comment we have to make is that we
fell asleep twice during the reading
of the book.
