wise with him as to the best means of pro-
tecting guests from fires. They said a bill
should be framed having for its main object
the comforting on the building and fire de-
partments such discretionary powers as
would be as arbitrary as possible. 1t should
be a bill which would deal with each indi-
vidual case as ii arose, and not an ironclad
law to cover in a general way all hotels.
All hotels are constructed more or less diff
ferently, and different action would have TO
by necessity be taken when action was nee
essary. Let the head of the department in
which the power has been vested use his
judgment and deal with each individual case
on its merits. Ii was suggested as the idea
of the hotel men that the best way by which
hotels would be protected from fire would
be by vigiant watchfulness and that this
should be insisted on by law.
Commissioner Brady said he believed abb
soutely in fre-proof buildings. Buildings
should be so constructed that when a fire
broke out on the second third floor the
floors above could be shut off from the fire
and be practically isolated so that flames
should not only be added watchfulness. but
other things besides should be considered.
Aar%s shog bd be pa9ed t In eaH5
all hours and the hotels should be provided
with the most improved appliances for
fighting fire. He believed that power should
be vested in some department which should
see to 1t that these appliances were in order
and to have men for this purpose alone.
The right should be given the department
to have men go through the hotels at all
hours during the night and day and see that
the employees were doing their duty
Assistant Corporation Counsel Otterbourg
called especial attention to the law gov
erning the construction of fire escapes He
said that ii appeared absolutely useless. He
was opposed to special and arbitrary legis-
lation and was in favor of home rule. A law
should be framed and speedily passed vest
ing power in interested departments in this
city concerning the government of hotels
here He called attention to the Greater
New York charter and said that while every
provision had been made concerning the
construction and arrangement of buildings
of the city. there was no provision bearing
on the licensing of hotels. He had in his
mind the drafting of amendment to the
charter giving to the municipal assembly
of this city power TO pass any ordinance in
relation TO hotels and their management so
far as it involved public safety He said
that when this was done. then the matter
could be taken up at leisure and that any
measure bearing upon the subject could be
presented the municipal assembly. The sug-
gestion Of Mr. Otterbourg was approved and
it was agreed to allow the corporation coun-
sci to draft such an amendment and send it
TO the Legislature tonight IL is then under
stood that regarding the license measure no
hotel man will be allowed license until the
departments in which power have been
vested have passed on Ii.
