It will be seen that the roofis of reinforced fireproof Natco Hollow Tile construction similar to the Horn construction shownon Page 77. This construction bears on the end or gable walls of the building and on cross par-titions of tile built up solidb from the floor, immediately below the roof. The entire roof load,therefore, is carried by the gable walls and cross partitions, and then- is no load to act as a thruston the side walls. By the insertion of nailing strips or sleepers, as shown above, the finished roofeithei of slate,tile or composition, as may be desired, is readily laid.
