YIRE ESCAPE LAW VIOLATIONS.

Tho Tenement House Commission made
public yesterday the special report Of Hugh
Bonner. eI-Chief Of tho Fire Department.
and Lawrence WELLER in which were detailed
the results OF the inspection Of a number Of
tenement houses in Manhattan and Brooklyn
In repard to fire escapes. The report states
that all though the law siuce 1909 has required
all tenement houses including those a already
built. to be provided with adequate fire cs-
"a pes, there are thousands Of such buildings
in this CITY with totally inadequate means
OF escape for the inmates in case Of IRE The
report declares hat all tenement houses
not absolutely fireproof should have fire
escapes front and rear. In the opinion OF
MIR. Bonner and Mr. WELLER FIRE escapes in
the shape of stairs with fat steps and hand
rails are absolutely essential and In no case
should vertical ladders be permitted. The
report adds
From a study Of the facts shown by thl.
inspection we cannot escape the conclusion
that the enforcement OF the Fire Escape law
in this city is OF the most lax and inefficient
