FIRE ESCAPE LAW.
Question Whether or Not Commission
ers Have Discretion in Applying It.


. Upon the recommendation of Building
Inspector Snowden Ashford, the Commis-
sioners today requested Corporation Coun-
sci Duvall for an opinion as to whetner
mr. not the District authorities have any
discretion In the matter of applying the IRE
escape law in the District. The opinion Is
requested in connection with the appHca-
ton of Lyman L. Pierce. general secretary
of the Young Mems Christian Association.
that the fire escape regulations should not
be insisted upon with respect to a building
used by the association for educational pur-
poses.
ceived a letter from Secretary Pierce stat.
has used and desires to continue TO use
the Evans building, 1920 New York avenue
as a place of holding Rotations for classes
in evening educational work. The building.
he states. is without fire escapes and the
owner has notified the association that It
cannot use the structure for assemalas es,
because he would be obliged, in that case.
to put up the fire escapes. Mr.. Pierce
argues that there will be women or
children at the recitations. and the young
men would be able to get out of the build
ing by the stairs and elevator. He asks.
therefore. that the association be allowed
to use the building. minus fire escapes.
through the coming winter.
Building Inspector Ashford, In reporting
on the application. says:
without going into a discussion on the
construction of the building. I would say
that IL Is by no means f1reproOf or of slow
burning construction, and the stairways and
elevators are not planned for safe exit IN
case OF fire"
He also suggests that the request for ex-
emption from the requirements of the fire
escape law should be made by the owner
Of the building, and not from the lessee or
temporary occupant.
