this week a measure qualifying the Raines bill by
amending the present law requiring Raines law
hotels to comply with the regulations OF the Build
ings. Health and Fire departments. It will give
relief TO large restaurants in the city which, under
the proposed law II now stands might be
driven out Of business.
Assenblyman FreideIs measure will provide that
a liquor tax certificate carrying with It the same
privileges as those granted to certain hotels shall
be given restaurants which have 200 square feet
OF floor space. The bill 1t is said will bring no
relief 10 the Raines law hotels and will at the same
time protect large and legitimate business interests
The pending law requires that buildings used as
hotels not prior TO 1902 must conform to the present
building law making it mandatory that building
more lhan thirty-hve feet high occupied as hotel
shall be hreproof. This would affect several large
and we'll known restaurants 60

the compensation of seeing their own
