STRICTER Law FOR STABLES
MR.. MACFARLAND CONSIDER
ING NEW REGULATION.
Liverymen to Be Given Hearing
Use of Second-Story in Non-Fire-
proof Buildings.

Since witnessing the fire at the Virginia
stables Monday night Commissioner Mac
farland has been considering what further
improvements can be made in the stable
regulations. which now prescribe that no
buildings shall be erected, altered or re-
constructed for stabing animals above
the first or ground floor unless the build
ing be made flreproof throughout.
The Virginia stables were in an old
building, which had not undergone al
teration or reconstruction. Before max
ing recommendations to the Commits
sioners with respect to the matter he de-
sires accurate information as to the pres
ent conditions, and therefore he has di-
rected the chief engineer and the fire mar
shall to make u special inspection of all
stables. and report to him how many of
them keep horses temporarily or perma-
nently above the first or ground floor
how many horses are so kept. WIZ. the
conditions are with respect to fire d.7gers
and what suggestions they have for
further improvements in the rcSulat Ions
Liverymen to Be Heard.
The regulations have been amended
from time To time. with view to I'M
provenent. particularly during the past
few years. Commissioner Macfarlan,i
said that the livery stable men affected
would be given Il hearing before any final
action was taken
Since the regulations with regard IL
stable construction We're last amended
three years ago. no building; has been per
United in which the construction of stalls
for horses above the first floor WAS con-
templated. unless the structure was prop
erly 1irc-proofed And the plan the Com
miSSloners have under consideration is to
ascertain h8. rSctf
constitutionally. to require the recon-
struction OF such stables are believed
to be dangerous in time of fire to horses
lodged within them.
AT the present time no permits for re-
pairs or reconstruction of nOn-fireprOof
stables of this character are granted but
the elimination of the undesira BILE struc-
lures by this method is considered far too
slow.
Fire Marshal Nicholson has already
stated his opposition to upstairs stables
with narrow runways. His opinion is that
they are dangerous.

George RI. Cooper caught two-pound
bass the Fourth with n catfish for
bait that was nearly as large as the bass.
1t was all he could get. but the bass liked
1t well enough to strike at it viciously.
One of the fishermen at the falls had
a peculiar experience recently. He was
taking in the slack of his line when fish
struck at the bait, taking the fisherman
completely by surprise. The handle OF
