tons; very firm, coarse sand or still gravel, four tons; hard
p.an, four tons.
SOIL TESTS.,
Mien a test is made of sustaining; power of the soil the
building inspector i-,iay modify these requirements, but he shall be
notified when such test is to take place and may be present either
in person or by representative . The report of t'ae test shell be
filed in the office of the building inspector, and when doubt arises

to be erected, the building ins-pector may order borings or tither
tests to be made . To determine the safe load for estimating the load
or footings , the following conditions must be observed:-
LOADS ON FOOTIITGS.
ti`larehouses and factories, full dead and full live load,; to
be taken In stores and buildings for light manufacturing .purposes

and 75 per cent of the live load; in office buildings, hotels,
apartment;-. houses, dwellings, stables a full dead load and 60 per
cent of live load. Footings must bb so designed as to make the
load as nearly uniform as p6ssible .
LOADS OIT IMASOITRY.
Safe bearing load on brick t;rork shall be taken as 8 tans
per superficial foot when lime mortar :,s ; used. I7hen lime and
cement mortar are used, 112 tons; when cement mortar is- used,A 15 tone."
For rubble stone work, 5 tans per superficial foot shall be the ma,xi-
r11un load; when lime mortar is used, 8 tons ; when cement mortar
other than Portland is used; 7 tons when lime and cement mortar are
used;. 10 tons when Portland Cement mortar is used; a safe bearing
load of concrete shall be taken at 8 tons per superficial foot, when
other than Portland Cement is used, and 15 tons when Portland is used.
itATERIALS IN GENERAL.
1aterials used in the construction of buildings shall be of
good quality for the purpose intended. Uerient must meet .the require-
ments of American Society for Testing 1aterials, and ,steel shall meet
