SAN BERNARDIN0 THEATER
MEN WORRIED OVER LAW
Special 10 The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
SAN BERNARDINO, Aug. S.-Local
theater men are much exercised over
the new ordinance regulating fire pro-
lection in theaters, and just passed by
the city council. The ordinance is
quite stringent and to comply with it
will require heavy expenditures on the
part of every theater in town. There
is question also as to whether or not
the city pavilion and woman's club
house will not come under the ordi-
nance, as both have well equipped
stages for public entertainments, and
the wording of the ordinance is strict,
The ordinance becomes effective the
first of the coming month The move
on the part of the council was inspired
by the recent theater fire here, by
which the town narrowly escaped a
serious disaster

DELTA PLANT BURNS.

The electric light plant of Delta

The building, which was a frame

The owners. it is said. have been
dissatisfied with their franchise and
have made no announcement of their
intention to rebuild. In case they do
not rebuild. the city will probably
erect a municipal plant.
A heavy wind was blowing from
the southwest and it was impossible
for the fire department to make an
