ASKS LOCAL INSPECTION.
CHIEF CROKER'S Plan.
Does Not 4pproUe Nc4doo's Idea
of Fremen aboard.

That every steamboat with big excursion
crowd aboard should be thoroughly inspected
by officers OF the local Fire Department before
leaving its dock, was the opinion expressed by
Fire Chief Croker to a Tribune reporter last
night The chief believes that il this precau-
ton were taken, disasters such as that which
happened 10 the Slocum would be averted 10
great extent. Chief Cookers plan is that when
the excursion crowd has gone aboard the boat
and the vessel is about TO steam out, a uni
formed member OF the local department. should
visit the steamship and make thorough in
spection Of every piece OF fire lighting apparatus
aboard and the means OF escape, in case fire
should break out. The chief considers that the
Fire Department should have as much right
pass upon the efficiency Of life RATS and life
belts upon the ordinary fire escapes at the
back of tenement houses. Both are provided
for the same purpose.
I suppose that the steamboat company. I'M
der the law, would have the right TO refuse to
allow my to go aboard said Chief Croker.
"tnasmuch the steamships under federal
supervision I believe. however. that the law
should be changed and authority granted 10 the
local fire department OF each city to make It's
own inspection, in the case Of excursion crowds
using a steamboat I don't say that the fire
apparatus aboard the General SIocurn was de-
fective. l never had occasion to examine it, but
II such was the case hundreds Of lives might
have been saved II the rule I recommend had
been in force before yesterday"
Chief Croker does not look favorabIy upon the
idea suggested by Police Commissioner McAdoo
that two firemen be detailed TO each excursion
crowd in future 10 accompany the excursion.
4 do not want TO interfere with the business
Of the Fire Department" said Commissioner
McAdoo TO Tribune reporter. last night. I
only make this suggestion a private tudf-
vtdual. but II seems TO that the same method
a * Is cd n he NPu-- Vol
be advantageOusly employed steamboats,
There is a fireman detailed 10 every theatre dur
ing performance in this city Why not have
one two firemen TO look after fire fighting
aboard an excursion boat"
Regarding this suggestion Chief Croker said:
The Fire Department of this city hasn't got
enough men 10 detail any to such work Be
sides, what good would two hTemen do aboard
an excursion boat II fire broke out Why A
whole fire company could not have done much
aboard the General SlOCum. especially with the
kind OF fire apparatus usually found on steam
boats. If any reforms can be effected they
should be In the direction OF better fire fighting
apparatus"
