by Building Inspector George Williams

ton of the building he had visited it
but once. that time being about two
weeks prior to the opening of the the
alter on Nov. %.
He had never looked at the plans Of
the building except on one occasion,
when, according to his own statement,
he saw them for perhaps ten or fifteen
seconds. He said that he personally
knew nothing of the construction of
the building save what knowledge he
had obtained from an inspector.
Commissioner Williams admitted
that his department had passed on the
arrangement of exits, passageways
and aisles, that the department knew
that the ordinance required an exit to
be plainly marked by sign, that ap-
planes for the extinguishment Of
fire be placed in theaters and then
said that the Office had never been in
formed by the inspectors that none of
these requirements had been fully met
and he did not know before the thea
ter burned whether they had been
complied with or not
Neither he nor any member of his
department so far as he knew had any
knowledge as to whether automatic
sprinklers had been placed i'll the the
alter or not

tribunal to decide whether or not Pam

Colombia on account OF the severance
Of political ties. It is certain that the
