The vault In the property clerks office
MT the hall Of justice, instead Of being
iireproof as the building SPECIFICATIONS
required, was nothing more than

Property Clerk Oman refuses TO accept
the responsibility because the vault
was not fireproof He admits, however,
that the metal must be somewhere in
side the vault and that a further ef-
fort will be made to ind it,
1.-THE condition of the vaults was
frightful," said Chief OF Police Oman.
I'VE had always understood that they
were flreproof and there was no at
tempt at protection. With window
weight we cut n hole through the side
wall large enough for three OF us to
enter, Besides the plaster nothing
more solid was encountered than q wire
mesh which was easily torn away. In
side the vault all the papers had been
burned Even the wooden stocks on the
rovo.vetl had been charred and the
barrels warped. The treasure OF the
police department would have had
better chance II 1t had been left OUT
