MORROW EXPRESSES OPINION
CONCLUDES READING OF TESTI-
MoNY BEFORE CORONER.
Says No One Deserves Removal From
Office Because of Recent Col
lapse of Building.

AS result of his examination OF the
the body of Raymond L. Hibbs. killed
November ~. when a warehouse at North
Capitol and NJ streets collapsed, Engineer
Commissioner Morrow finds no one who
deserves removal from office other than
Willard 1sham, formerly assistant build
ing inspector. Although Mr.. Isham was
removed from office before the inquest.
he cannot be blamed for the accident.
Commissioner Morrow says, but Mr..
Isham. having known that the structural
work was in process, should have re-
ported it.
Il have read every line of the evidence
at the inquest, and some of the testimony
have reread two or three times. re-
marks Commissioner Morrow, and | can
see just how the accident happened. but
do not see where any action that might
be taken could possibly warrant the re-
moVal of any one from Office. Mr.. lSham
was removed. not on account of the acct
dent but because he did not comply with
the duties of his office
An inspection of the steel used in the
building has been made by p. J. Averill
engineer for the subcontractor. An In
spection will also be made by the Dis
trict.
No reply had been received from the
White House to the Commissioners let
ter relating to the appointment of a spe-
cial commission to investigate the Office OF
the inspector of buildings.
Mr.. Isham's friends say they cannot I'M
derstand how Maj. Morrow reached his
conclusions that Ishams dismissal was
justified because he had not reported the
erection of the steel. They say that the
evidence before the coroner'S jury re-
vealed that Isham's daily reports showed
that the steel construction vas going UP.
