egress and will be subject to the in
spection of the Chief of the Fire De-
partment, who shall also pass on the
effectiveness of the sprinkling sys-
tenn.
The materials of the curtains are to
be submitted to the City Chemist for
analysis to determine if they are fire.

if these conditions are not complied
with in thirty days the theaters are
to be closed until such time as the
requirements are complied with.
Copies of the resolution we're or
dered sent to the Board of Public
Works and the Chief OF Police.
