Kittssn Hall.
The question came up after the fire
On Wednesday might. what IL that
lamp Areppsd when the hall was
\ Anyone whoshas ever, beeii'sss NJ; 81 i
crush would shudder ut the p,obaGlc
answer. From three directions mud.
dened, crazy people would crowd 70 a
narrow door, opening iuwards on the
side Of the room, to a narrow plat.
form and stairway. The inevitable
result would lie death and injury
from the rush to large number.
We want to say, to everybody, tl,a,
II anything like the occurrence ol
Wednesday should happen in crowd
ed hall, don't 60 to the door; keel
away from the door, at least until the
crowd gets through. Run to win
dow. The windows from the rem Ol
the stage open on u low shed; the,
are the best. Tho windows on The
north open on Il roof close by. which
Is easily accessible, while from The
front or south side windows a persur
could drop to the ground without
much danger Of serious Injury. IL .,
the meantime ladders were not rails
ed. Any window iu Kitts0n Hall Is /,
better and safer exit. than the dm
with frightened cUwd.
That KittsOn Hall Is n dangerul,,
place In such a case Is self evident
In view Of the risk to life we suggcs,
the following improvements: D0ubl,
doors opening outward. A large plat
form before these doors with stair,
going down In both directions. A
fire escape ladder from the front win
dows or elsewhere. A tank of waite
always Kept filled In the hall will
a bucket or two handy.
II these Improvements are too cos.
ly In comparison with the revenue u
the hall. VIC believe that private con
trlbutiOn Or an entertainment O
some kind could bc gotten up to pa,
at least portion Of the costs. Every
body goes to Kittson, Hall, cvcrybod,
wants to be safe; and everybody is In
tcrcstcd In this matter. Let some
thing be done, for common safety
These or equivalent arrangement,
should be in place before another au
dicncc gathers In the hall.
