CHEAPER FIRE ESCAPES.
Law Modified for the Proprietors Of
Two Hotels

Two Hotels.
The request of H. S. Haight, proprietor OF
Haight's Hotel zoos street northwest, for
modification OF the notice served upon
him by the Commissioners to provide fire
escapes for the building under the new
fire escape law. 80 as to permit the erection
Of ladders and chain escapes, has been ap-
proved by the Commissioners. The action
of the Commissioners In making an excep-
ton in this case was made upon the rec
ommendation Of Capt. William Kelley, as
sistant engineer commissioner, who has
been directing the enforcement of this new
fire escape law.
The District officials have had consider
able trouble enforcing this case, in view Of
the fact that the owner refused at first to
have the necessary escapes prescribed by
the building inspector erected on the build
ing leased to Mr.. Haight. She based her
refusal at first upon the fact that she was
not required to erect the escapes. After q
months discussion of the subject the owner
was convinced that she was required by
law to equip the building. and in order that
the requirement would not be hardship
upon the owner. after she had shown a
willingness to comply with the law, the
situation was carefully gone over and 1t
was finally decided to permit the erection
of the ladders and the chain escapes in
stead of the standard escapes" named in
the regulations governing the fire escapes
The Commissioners have also granted the
same privilege to ]. E. Connors for his ho-
tel at 345 Pennsylvania avenue northwest
provided he installs proper balconies in
connection with the chain escapes. Both
these hotel proprietors have been given
thirty days in which to have their buildings
in conformity with the law.
