President Horton then called the at
tention of the council to the fact that
the town was at present without an IN
spector OF buildings, although the
statutes expressly provided that there
should be one appointed by the council
IT was the opinion OF some of the mem
hers of the council that such an official
I'm this town was wholly unnecessary.
but as the statute left no option In the
matter the appointment was taken into
consideration by the council and IL fs
probable that at a future meeting or the
council an inspector will be appointed az
provided by law.
II was stated that exceptin gthe town
hall which was amply provided with
| exits, there was no large meeting place
| in the town IL was suggested that II
would be good idea for the doors OF
all of the halls and churches TO be so
arranged as TO open outward and the
4 members OF lut couuSi thoubht iHa'
/ the idea was a good one.
! AZ regards factories the fact was
brought out that there is only one manu-
| featuring concern I'm the town which has
any buildings over three stories In
| height and that is the American Elec-
trical works at Phillipsdaie.
They have a building which Is four
stories high and Councilman Phillips
stated that Il was amply provided with
means OF egress which were easily avail
| able for exit i'm case OF FIRE, IL being pro-
vided with wide staircase at either end
! as we'll as other means for getting out
Of the building.
| There are other concerns which have
buildings two and three stories high,
| hut there was no one present who could
offer any explanation "a to whether or
| not they were equally well protected. No
definite action was taken In regard TO the
matter.
At 4:25. upon motion OF Councilman
Phillips the council adjourned.
