THE JOINT RULE PROPOSED FOR ACTION IN
TINE OF FIRE.
The Police Commissioners yesterday decided 10
refer 10 the CORPORATION Counsel the proposed lohu
rule which President Purroy Of the Fire Department,
prepared after the police failed 10 enforce IRE CiSi
Bonners order 10 stop the elevated trains In west
Broadway at the time Of the fire in Leggets grocery
Mr. Plmroy's proposed rule reads as follows;
AT fires it shall be the duty OF all officers ana
men Of the Police and Fire Departments to cooperate
together for the protection Of life and property ana
should at any time danger are from unsafe or falling
walls spread Of fire, explosion or any other CAUSES nc
cesang temporary stoppage Of travel through any Of
the streets adjacent TO fire 1t shall DC the uu'y VI o
officer in command of the forces Of tho Fire Depart
ment IN give notice to that effect to the ehicer In
command OF the police forces, who small al once
comply with the notlcc. In carrying out this rue
care must be taken that the rights and privileges OF
citizens business interests and public trSnic ana
travel shall not be interfered with or INSTRUCTED any
longer than public safety may require and notice
shall be promptly given that public traffic may be
resumed whenever the officer in command OF the
Fire Department shall agree that danger to life and
property no longer exists. In case of unsafe or
falling walls the commanding officer OF the Fire De
partment shall Immediately notify the superintendent
of Buildings, whose duty it shall be to at once proceed
TO the fire, and, after making careful ofhclal N
spection thereof take such proper additional measures
as ne may deem necessary to either protect life or
property or to enable traffic and travel to safely nc
sumo" /. oao.1
The Fire Commissioners have been ready 10 adopt
the rule but tho Police Board has failed TO take such
action because President MacLcan thinks that lhe
duties of the police at fires are defined by law an
opinion by the Corporation Counsel may make tile
adoption Of the rule unnecessary
