CORD to Seaton:
In 1873; complaint was made to the Bureau
~ Inspecton Of Buildings that tho Hotel
Poval was not provided with IRE escapes in
accordance with the law. This building was
In the district inspected by William +. Scaton.
Tho proprctors we're ordered to comply with
the law in the matter OF fire escapes. and on
June i, 1896. Inspector Seaton reported that
they had dono 80. AS Il matter OF fact fire
escapes were placed only on the Fortieth
.,roet side and on the rear Of tho building.
The order from tho bureau had also specified
the sixth avenue side Of the building as place
where fro escapes should be placed. From
Ynspector Seaton's report it was supposed that
the order had been entirely complied with. In
1889 Scaton was transferred to the district
north o! 10th street and east Of Madison ave-
nue.. and D. N kccly was assigned to Seaton's
old district Thus fnr there IL nothing to show
that Keely attempted in any way to remedy
