What recommendations had bicn urged upon him previously without success are now accepted warmly and even exceeded, after a disaster hat occurred. It is a pity that employers can not be stimulated to interest themselves in prevention before rather than after the fnct. What characterizes the far-seeing, capable, effi cient employer from the impotent and harassed is that the former aims to provide against disaster rather than to pay for it when it occurs, because if care is not taken disaster will occur. county submitted one plan calling for an outlay of S45.000; Fulton county submitted three plans calling for an outlay of $41,000; Nassau county submitted two plans calling for an outlay of $33,200; Erie county submitted seven plans catling for an expenditure of $22,357; Sullivan county sub mitted two plans catling for an outlay of 522,000. During the month the Division examined a total of 75 plans. Of this number 45 were approved, 17 were disap proved and 13 were examined in connection with petitions for variations. Of the approval plans 22 related to mer cantile establishments. 19 to factories and four to places of public assembly. Of the disapprovals nine related to mer cantile establishments, five to factories and three to places of public assembly. i' Details of plans are as follows; ' \ ' V- ' ASBESTOS What is asbestos! It is a unique substance of rocky furnmtiou which resists beat, water and wear. It can be spun, woven or molded into any necessary form. There re several varieties containing various proportions of ilicutL of magnesia. Breathing the dust of this sub- Inure is bad for the health just as the breathing of linnst any other foreign substance is deleterious. Workers ln> have to handle asbestos fibre or material should avoid * fur as possible bresthinsr the dust and employers should take care to have suitable ventilation in places where ists-etos dust is generated. It is quite probable that the disease resulting from the hrrnlhing of asbestos dust will be similar to that result ing from silica. If that be so, manufacturers or handlers of aslx-stos products might begin here and now to pre- teut trouble because of the fact that, like silicosis, the diKusc can be prevented--there is no cure. , 'Factories New buildings Alerations ...
