inspector OF Bu1ldfngs Report as to a
Portion of the Structure.
An interesting point has been brought to
the attention of the District Commissioners
in connection with the application of H. c.
Burch as manager of the Hotel Fairfax at
the southwest corner of 14th and F streets,
for hotel license. The Fairfax Hotel is
the north part of the old Willard Hotel
The application was referred by the asses
sor to the inspector of buildings for report
as to whether the hotel law regarding fire
escapes, etc, had been complied with. In
response to this Mr.. Snewden Ashfold, the
inspector, has reported:
IAN examination of this part of what was
formerly Wizards Hotel shows that this
building, which Is now separate from the
New Willard Hotel, is equipped with fire
escapes, lights. gongs, etc, in compliance
with law, but portion of this building
used as Office and lobby was erected under
permit 1499 dated April q, 1900 in which
permit the owner agrees that this building
Is temporary one, and the permit requires
its removal in eighteen months, namely, Oc-
tober, 1901. Before approving or reporting
on application for license 1 would recon-
mend that the owners attention be called
to the terms Of the permit with request to
know what steps have been taken to COM
ply with said terms"
