ADAPTATION OF STANDARD III. 
This standard is used largely for public warehouses, especially in 
the small towns of the Southeast. It will be seen in the “Schedule 
for rating’? that it may be of standard brick construction with 
approved roof, or, with unapproved roof, built of concrete blocks, — 
corrugated iron, or of frame construction. When a warehouse is — 
exposed within a hundred feet it would seem to be advisable to— 
have it conform to Standard III, but outside walls of corrugated 
iron or wood are not to be recommended in such cases. As a rule, 
the more costly building is to be recommended. Such a building 
will command a much lower insurance rate and it will prove more 
satisfactory in many respects. Where a warehouse is not exposed 
within 100 feet, it is well to consider Standard J. A building con- 
forming to that standard, but with a storage capacity of 1,000
