.F|RE-TRAP ORDINANCE
To DIE NATURAL DEATH
Supervisors Shy at Legal
izing Davis Danger
Gus Playhouse

The Supervisors fire COMMITTEES did
not consider yesterday the proposed or
dinance designed to legalize hretrap
theaters of the Davis type that fla
grantly violate the general building or
dinance. which requires fireproof con-
struction for all thesters. Chairman
McGushin stated that the ordinance
would not be taken up for the present,
and this is tantamount to the killing of
the measure In committee. II will prob
ably never be resurrected, because it is
in direct conflict with the general ordi-
nance The minority in the board that
stood for a 75-cent gas rate will seize
opportunity to punish Sam Davis for
his support of the S5-cent rate, which
was readopted.
Should the ordinance become a law
Davis could screen his infiammabl
showhouse behind the pretext that he
had complied with its provisions so far
as installing a couple of buckets of
water and a two-inch water pipe as a
flimsy precaution against fire. The Su-
pervisors are determined that they will
not be parties TO giving a legal excuse
for the maintenance of an illegally
constructed hretrap theater, so IT is
planned to have the measure die nat
ural death in committee.
The committee took under advisement
the petitions of J. ELLINGTON to install
an engine and boiler I'm premises in AL
bion avenue. near Fifteenth street. ano
