fire TRAP.
The Doors Of the City Hall Kept
Locked.

For some time past little contro-
versy has been going on regarding
the doors at the city hall at the front
entrance at'the post office.
1t seems that the doors are locked
at 8 O'Clock every night. which
makes it very inconvenient for the
people using the stage. 1t has gone
so far that it became necessary for
persons who are in the habit of using
the entrance either were obliged to
stay out or in after O'Clock.
This only leaves one exit from the
theatre, the main entrance, and &C.
cording to the law is not sufficient.
The matter has been talked up in a
friendly manner between the contest
ants, but nothing definite has yet
been arrived at. This is serious
matter for the citizens of the city, as
it places the city hall in exactly the
same condition as that which the old
opera house was.
The citizens, by an emphatic vote,
rejected the plans submitted because
of the lack of exits. That only had
one exit in case or fire. They insisted
that any plan should consist of more
than one exit, and that these exits
should remain open at all times when
ever the city hall was in use.
The present city hall was built in
concurrence with their wishes and
three large exits and entrances sup.
piled. Two of them are locked every
night, thus making it far more dan
gerous than if they had have been
unprovided for, as in the case of fire,
people will trust to these exits and
find the doors locked. The door on
the Prospect street side swings in, in.
stead Of out. Jam it full of crazed
mass of humanity, blocked door in
front of them and a fire behind them,
and the result might be a terrible one.
