TO Comply With Fire Law.

The state of Kansas is about to be
hoisted by its own petard. Chief
Wilmarth of the Topeka fire depart
ment has served notice on the state
executive council that it must eauip
the state printing plant at once with all
the apparatus required by the new
law for protection of its employees
from fire
This means that at least $500 must
be expended for fire escapes extfn-
guishers, etc. The state printing plant
is three-story building and came I'M
der the provision of the new fire pro-
lection laws just the same as hotels
and other buildings where a large
number of people are employed or
housed as guests
The last legislature passed this
stringent fire protection law but failed
to make any appropriation whereby
the state printing plant could be made
to fill the requirements of that law.
The executive council has not a cent
on hand with which to buy and install
fire escapes and unless some expedi-
ent is adopted to raise the money the
