STEEL CONSTRUCTION

steel construction, stone, timber, wall-coverings, &c. the principal publications for reference in connexion with this subject are: _the building and health laws of the city of new york_, brooklyn eagle library, no. 85; _rules and regulations affecting building operations in the administrative county of london_, compiled by ellis marsland; _annotated by-laws as to house drainage, &c._, by jensen; _metropolitan sanitation_, by herbert daw. (j. bt.) [1] the verb "to build" (o.e. _byldan_) is apparently connected with o.e. _bold_, a dwelling, of scandinavian origin; cf. danish _bol_, a farm, icelandic _bol_, farm, abode. skeat traces it eventually to sanskrit _bhu_, to be, build meaning "to construct a place in which to be or dwell."
