Dau Glass Enough for 500 Homes It Will Be as High as the Singer Building 1 Piled on Top of the Standard wt Oil Skyscraper With the City Hall at the Apex COST WILL BE 10000000 ARCHITECTS FEE 500000 Floor Space Measuring 40 Acres Will 1 Be Cut Up Into 3600 Offices That I Will Shelter a Population tM of 21000 1 The New Equitable Building when completed will be the greatest ilflce In the entire world and I doubt If there evor will be erected a taller building said Engineer Jamec Wilakeman of the Bureau of Buildings today to an Evening World reporter Mr Whlskcman baa been assigned by Superintendent Edward Murphy to pass upon the plans filed with the Department by Daniel I 1 Burnham architect of Chicago Ill i Mr Burnham Is represented before the Burpau of Buildings by I Graham an associate architect who has taken quarters at the Holland i House to await the approval of the plans by the New York City authorities I The mere examination of tho plans for this mammoth building Is a good two months work continued Mr Whlakeman This whopper of a I dtyscraper so far aa my preliminary examination goes seems to be pert ct1y feasible and It will undoubtedly be erected 5 FORTY ACRES OF FLOOR SPACE Mr Whlakeman WM aket to outline In round numbers mom of tn majestic dlmcniloni of the proposed building with adequate comparisons Well the New Equitable Building will have a floor area of about 16MWU I iquare feet or forty acres was the reply This meana tnat SMllld tn I building be flattened out to a height of ono tloor It would oovr uie lower end of Manhattan Island below WaJl street east of Droadway Tho plans further provide for 5200 windows and 4000 radiators or onougn flaw to window tho Philadelphia suburb of Frankford 1a and enough beat to I keep the entire business colon of Brooklyn comfortable through a Canadian winter Of courte one can only estimate but I should say 480 tons of granite will be I needed to carry the bulldlii up to ths th floor awe which the plans provide for brick and terra cotta to the sixtysecond story I would estimate that tho outside wall two and a half reet thick will require about 1500000000 brick This IB enough brick to build a wall ten thigh acros the Continent separating the Lnltcd States from Canada The height of 003 feet as proposed Is the height of the Singer Building i plaoed on top of the Standard Oil Building at Xo Broadway with the New I York City Hall on the apex of the Singer BulWlng The plans provide for thirtyeight elevators sixteen boilers and twelve en 4 fines and generatorsenough elevators to transport WIWO people daily each way enough boilers to equip eight ordinary office buildings and enough engines to I 1 propel across the Atlantic Ocean not only the steamsnipi Mauretanla and the I I 1usltanla but the Dcutsohland and Kaiser Wllh lm as well 1 1 i WILL HOUSE POPULATION OF 21000 I I There will be about 3COu offices In the now building which will give the I I structure an approximate dally population of 21 CM allowing six persons to eacti office This Is a city the size of Mount ernon or tho combined lze or White Plains and New Hochellc I There will be five filtration lanka according to the plan each Trttn a diameter of fight feet besides not only a basement and a uboasement but i a subfibbat ement The eight of the steol needed for the rramework may reach 1COCOO tons and the cost of the hulldlnB Is estimated at 10000000 Mr Whl Xeman who has been an engineer connected with the Bureau of 1 Buildings for six years and who graduated with hcnors from Cornell University I In ISM was asked If Lower Manhattan would permit of the erecting of such jj1 a land leviathan on the site of the present Equitable Building liroadway between I I Pine nnd Cedar streels If the fcqultable contractors po dnn to rock for their foundation there la not tho slightest danger cither of tie town falling In or falling over eald tho i civil engineer Some alterations will doubtleis made In the plans but eo far as I can II lee at this time Mr Uurnham has not proptvoj a structure that li out of har I If mony with either progress or safety But I think he has reached the limit as 1 to height I i The dally cleaning of the New Equitable Building will require the services of I1 300 Fcrubwomcn and thirty head porters Over 00rt bars of soap It Is eatl I mated will bo the weekly consumption of this agent of cleanliness by the tenants I ants and their landlord 1 BELIEVES PLANS WJIL EK APPROVED The officials of the Bureau of UiillJIngs feoff at the suggestion that the filing of the plans was
