To the CommoA Council of the city of
OwOssO-
| Gentlemen
| l wish again to call your attention to the
'unsafe condition of the exits of the opera
| hous . The outside door to the north exit
swings In. During performance 1t is fast
ened open by two small screw eyes, fast
ening that good sized boy could easily
] pull out. In case OF n fire or q panic If the
Fastening should giveway and the door be-
come closed, tho narrow stairway won be-
come filed with struggling mass of hui
manity and many people would be tramp
led TO death. The main exit Is by the stage
| fire 5 generally start. People using this exit
would be Obliged 10 go toward the Dire. This
row stairway with the door swinging in and
fitting into rabbeted door frame when
closed. The exit near the stage is partly
flied by wooden ticket flee during n
large portion OF every performance The ia
cilties for escape from the building are In
adequate.
and we have had neither fire nor panic but
1t may occur at the next crowded entertain
ment with possible loss OF life. | have re-
questtd the proprietor to change the door at
the north exit - that 1t would swing out.
He has SO far failed to do 1t. Under the
state law the city officials are powerless to
compel him until action has been taken by
this council. | urge upon you the necessity
of correcting this condition 1T once.
