FIRE DEPARTMENT AS TO THE BEST
WAY OF PREVENTING FIRES

FIRE DEPARTMENT AS TO THE BEST
WAY OF PREVENTING FIRES
-ba Hotel Mems Association OF New-York met
n the Grand Union Hotel, Forty-second-st and
park-ave Yesterday morning and appointed COM
u,'ttee 70 confer with the Fire Department and the
Building Department 70 devise the best means OF
preventing recurrence OF a hotel fire such az that
o. the Hotel Windsor Last Friday II was the
unanimous sense OF the meeting that every mem
her OF the association should cooperate In devisins
the best possible means OF protecting the guests
against fire. Il was stated by Hiram Hitchcock, OF
the Fifth Avenue Hotel that there were only two
fires in this city in the last fourteen years that he
could recall In hotels. where there was any loss
OF life and one OF these the fire in the Windsor
last FRIDAY.
The committee chosen Is constituted as follows;

All the above men were present. with the excep-
ton Of Mr. Bodt When some Of the hotel men
were asked as to their opinion on the Windsor
FIRE they all referred TO Mr. flaming Mr. Fan
ming said:
1T IS premature now TO make any suggestions.
The general idea is that where hotel IS prop
erly conducted with a fully equipped force Of
watchmen and employees that this is the best kind
o. a fre-escape There is no such thing as a fire
proof hotel In fact might say that there Is no
such thing s d hreprOof building anywhere.
Il do not want 20 criticise the methods Of Mr.
Leland for every one knows n mas enough 90 SUI
FER already our with the employees OF hotel thor
oughly drilled in fire service and drilled also in the
matter OF discipline fires would OF less frequent
occurrence and could he eXtiugushed soon after
their discovery. IL Pity that the parade hap
peued 10 be passing AZ the time IL did. and II was
Unfortunate that the employees should have had
their attention directed toward II.
Mr. Tanning stated that the members o. the as
socia-iOn would welcome any eslsl alton that
looked 20 the protection OF guests from fire. and
would do all IN It's power % help and cooperate
with organizations having this purpose In view.
