that his signature goes for nothing

Is president unwilling to fight the re-
auirements Of the building inspector,
even though they consider them un-
fair and tending to discourage the
erection OF large buildings. President
Q. J. Sands. of the American Ma
tonal Bank. has written TO Inspector
Beck informing him that initiai steps
have been taken toward the erection
OF a 9.s escape on the outside of the
recently built annex to that building.
The hre escape. which will extend
from the top floor OF the structure,
soon to be occupied by the Business
Mons Clue. TO the ground, will cost
about $500 and will probably be
placed in position within the next few
days. This closes the incident ac-
cording to Inspector Beck. who de-
clares that while he will not au-
thorsxe the bank TO move into its new
quarters until the fire escape has ac-
tuatly been erected, neither will he
take any steps to prevent the move.
Il have written Mr.. Sands letter
telling him that his promise to place
the fre escapes Is satisfactory. pro-

Mr., Beck also said that a recent
communication to him from Mr.
Sands had intimated that the building
code was unfair In requiring the con-
ctruction Of fire escape. despite the
special ordinance secured by the
bank, releasing 1t from this necessity
at the time the building was originally
constructed Mr.. Sands was Of the
opinion that the annex should be con-
sidered merely an enlargement or an
alteration Of the original plans, and
hence should como under the same
special ordinance Of exemption.
Such 10 not the case" said Mr..
Beck. NO matter what the opinion
OF Mr.. Sands may be as to fairness.
the building code requires specifically
that a fre escape shall be erected 10
