EuveztfZatfog OF Heating Apparatus
Urged by District 0mcfaIs.
The recent explosion of mangle in the
steam laundry of the New Willard Hotel
as q result Of which three women en-
ployes were painfully injured, has induced
the officials of the District Building to
renew their efforts to secure an appropria-
tion OF $500 for an inspector of heating
apparatus. an item for which is included
In the Commissioners estimates for the
coming fiscal year.
Section CT the building regulations
provides that the inspector OF buildings
shall have the supervision of oil heating
apparatus. This section is imperative
however. as there is no provision made
for the appointment Of an inspector.
In response to d resolution OF the Board
Of Fire Underwriters Of the District pro-
testing against the proposed elimination
CT section OF the building regulation. in
1904. Inspector Of Buildings Ashford said
Since the PRONUNCIATION Of this regula-
ton the Board Of Fire Underwriters. in
.surance agents, and real estate dealers
have constantly applied TO this Office TO
enforce the provisions of the regulation to
guard against Ere or explosion. In order
10 comply with this demand I have been
compelled 20 call upon the assistant in
spectors in charge Of elevators, but
find that their time IS so severely taxed
that conditions arise in tho elevator
service approaching serious accident"
An effort was made at the last session OF
Congress to secure an appropriation for
an inspector OF heating apparatus, which
was unsuccessful In view Of the casual
ties which have occurred tie District OIL
cials will make every exertion 10 secure
the desired legislation at the coming ses-
sion.
