FOR ELEVATOR SAFETY
Hopper's Proposed Amendment to
the Building Code.

Isaac n Hopper Superintendent OF Buildings
has Tor some time been giving attention 10 means
OF lessentng the number of elevator accidents as
toid recently in The Tribune. and has now decided
% ask the aldermen TO amend Section 10l Of the
Building Code, which contains the provisions re-
lstng 10 the inspection Of elevators, as 10 give
the Bureau OF Buildings greater power.
The amendment would increase the powers or the
superintendent in three respects. IT would extend
his supervision to freight elevators well as
passenger, and whereas he is required to
establish rules TO The regular inspections, his
rules would in future cover the installation. alter
alton and operation OF elevators well as their
Inspection The third proposed change is that no
one shall operate All elevator unless he has regis
tered at the Office OF the superintendent.
Section 1m OF the Building Code, it is pro-
posed 70 amend ii, would read as follows:
The Superintendent of Buildings shall cause an
inspection Of elevators carrying passengers or
employees TO be made at least once every three
months. and shall make regulations for the IN
spection, installation alteration and operation OF
such elevators, and shall also make regulations Tor

certificate as TO his competency.
Every freight elevator or lift shall have a notice
posted cOnspicuousiy thereon follows: Persons
riding this elevator do so at their own risk.
Mr. Hopper has already been told by a number
Of elevator operators that they would favor having

Gaynor makes permanent the temporary injunction
restraining Police Captain McDermott, of the

around the hotel and warning prospective guests
that the place is disorderly resort and likely 10

elaborates his well known views on the "lawless-

their practice of arbitrary dealing with the Keepers
of small hotels and others gives them an oppor-
tunity and has been used for blackmailing. He
declares that the hotel appears on inspection like
all hotels in that and similar localities.
After describing the hotel and recounting the
method of espionage adopted by Captain McDer-
mott. Justice Gaynor says:
1t may be that the plaintiff is breaking the Law.
but the law does confer arbitrary power on the
defendant to deal with him. No police official can
be suffered to take the law into his own hands.
