TO REGULATE THEATERs.
Ordinance Passed by City Council of
Chicago Last Night.

CHICAGO, January 19.-The Chicago city
council after a session lasting nearly all
night, has passed an amended theater
building ordinance. The result is a much
more stringent measure than had been pro-
posed by the special committee on theaters.
The ordinance was adopted by vote of Al
to 8. At a session tonight the matter of
when the theaters shall be allowed TO re-
open will be acted upon.
The most important matters settled in
the adopted ordinance are:
In non-fireproof buildings the lowest bank
of seats cannot be higher than the street
level.
In fireproof theaters they cannot be more
than twelve feet above this level.
No gallery seats can have rise of more
than eighteen inches between rows of seats
Cross aisles must be provided for every
fifteen rows Of seats on the ground floor
and every nine rows IN balconies or GAL
leries. These cross aisleS must run directly
to exits.
In the rear of all banks of seats on all
floors must be cross aisles leading directly
to fire escapes or emergency exits.
Other amendments, some to cure verbal
mistakes others to change the ordinance
in smaller particulars, were adopted, but
the temper of the council was to make the
measure more stringent, and those which
passed were all in that direction.
