wires are both g nuisance and menace
to life. The only solution Is the elimina-
ton Of the overhead wires on the bust
ness streets BY stringing them in under
ground cables or BY taking them of the
business streets except where absolutely
necessary.
Another lesson is the absolute neces-
sity for the equipment Of fire depart
ment with frenets and the proper drill
Of the fremen In the use Of the nets.
This lesson presupposes, Of course, that
as many as possible Of the overhead
wires have been eliminated. thus enab-
ling the fremen to use the lifenets. n
the wires were still there the Hfenets
would be Of little, or no, value. since
the bodies Of those who jumped from
the buildings would be diverted IN their
fall BY striking the wires and the posi-
ton of the lifenets could not be shifted
rapidly enough to receive the flying bod.
les in their new courses. So the elimina-
tion Of overhead wires and the use Of
lifenets are dependent upon each other.
A third lesson was the apparent made
quacy of the fire escape on the Citizens
bank building. If we are rightly in
formed, there was only one FIRE escape,
that on the rear Of the structure, and
20 placed in relation to the elevator
shaft that when the fire laaped up the
elevator shaft It effectually cut off the
approach to the escape. One fire escape,
thus placed, was not enough for a build
ing which housed from twenty to thirty
people In its third and fourth stories.
Do we need any greater warning than
this that the state 81 Vermont was ex-
actly right when it demanded a short
time ago that all public buildings more
than a single story high shall be equipped
with Suitable" fire escapes, accessible
from each room Of such building above
the first story unless The states attor-
ney shall deem 1t unnecessaryS With
out knowing the sentiment in ST. Johns
bury, we can state authoritatively that
owners Of public buildings in several
large towns and cities Of Vermont have
shirked their legal and moral duty In
this respect until their action has become
shameful and worthy Of no further i'm.
munity from the penalties Of the law
These are a few Of the lessons which
stand out prominently in the considera-
ton Of one Of Vermont's worst fire dis
asters al regards the number Of lives
lost Whether there are any purely
local lessons to be learned therefrom.
ST. Johnsbury people are themselves the
best judges; but those outlined above are
applicable to any town or city as large
az st. Johnsbury.
