was simply looked upon as a fair risk. 1t made
no pretensions whatever ~ being 'hreproof' but
the ARRANGEMENTS for heating and lighting were
very carefully made and superintended. While
II Is true that proper care was taken with re-
gard to the heating and lighting facilities. the
same thing cannot be said Of the structure
itself recall distinctly that at the time the
Windsor was built the first two stories were
put up In frst-class shape. About that time
however the persons who were responsible FOR
the building got into financial difficulties. and
the upper stories were not put up with the same
material or care as had been used in the two
lower stories. The walls were OF thin laths and
plaster and the general makeup Of the upper
floors was Of just such a character as might
have been looked for in building which burned
