Show Criminal Carelessness in Building NEW YORK April 14 Eight five story tenements on the south side of Sixtysecond street between Tenth and Eleventh avenues fell yesterday afternoon after-noon while efforts were being made to brace them up that the yielding foundation founda-tion might be made secure With daylight this morning it was easy enough to see the cause of the terrible accident in Sixtysecond street yesterday The buildings fell because there was simply nothing to hold them together Buddensick the builder of the tenements that fell has constructed block after block in the neighborhood of yesterdays yester-days accident Phillip Hausman builder build-er said The houses fell because they were rotten They were built of refuse Look at the bricks that were being used They are not bricks but halves and quarters and chunks of bricks poorly burnt the miserable offal of a brickyard There is no mortar on them at all The stuff used in laying the walls was simply wet dirt Gangs of men have worked all night on the ruins of the eight fallen tenements tene-ments in West Sixtysecond streetbut turned up nothing but bricks and broken timbers No dead or injured have been found and there are no signs of life about the ragged heaps of the wreck The firemen are of the opinion that there are bodies in the ruins Hope grows stronger however that this may not be so Neither at the hospital nor at the police station had any inquiries been made for missing persons up to 10 oclock this morning |
