Excerpt from Stand-Pipe Accidents and Failures in the United States: A Chronological Record of Accidents to and Failures of Water-Works Stand-Pipes in the United States, With Full Discussions and Assignment of Theories; Also a Discussion of Current Practice in Specifications for Stand-Pipes and of Other Related Matters In discus-sing the enforcement of specifications in Appendix III., much stress is placed upon the im portance of preserving in permanent form proof of the scope and character of the structural tests of material used in the stand-pipe. An emergency te quiring the production of such evidence is not apt to own with very many stand-pips, and for this reason the necessary precautions are often over looked. Llt is well to know, however, that proof of quality may be demanded in cases where no accident of any kind has been sustained. An instance of this kind was recently brought to light by litigation based on alleged depreciation of real estate values 'con'tiguous to a stand-pipe, the suit having been 'suggested by the failure of a standapipe in a neigh boring city. In such a suit, the evidence of most weight obviously should be the testimony of the de signing and constructing engineer, supported by authentic {estimates of structural tests made by dis interested experts. In the particular case referred to, however, such evidence would have been weak ened by the fact that the engineer of the structure causing the litigation had also designed the stand pipe whose failure had suggested the damage suit.
