ORANGE PLANS To
PROFIT BY FIRE
DISASTER HERE
Steps Will Be Taken to Correct
Mistakes in Building
Arrangements.

Vigorous steps to correct any mis-
takes In Orange structures will In all
probability be taken following the
Newark catastrophe. Orange has many
buildings where people are gathered,
and some of the provisions for speedy
exits of people In case Of fire are
considered in need of attention.
Adjoining the police station Is a
dance hall, and the flre-escape was
pointed out by the police this morning.
For the hundreds of dancers 1t would
be necessary to cross a roof OF a
wpodshop adjoining, and the people
would have to find their way through
a path marked by wire to a series of
~handbars placed horizontally, a few
feet apart. Then they would have to
jump a story or climb through a win
dow In the police station.
Orange has several wooden factory
buildings where hating is carried on.
and In the Third ward tenement dis
trio the structures are crowded with
front inc ear tenements.
Sumter L. Beegle, president Of the fire
commission, says the city has an excel
lent method for factory supervision.
For two years there a been a
weekly inspection by fire officers Of
every factory in the CITY," he said. THE
benefits are apparent as the dangers
that frequently are created and which
make for fire trouble or Interference
with freedom of movement in case Of
a hasty exit are at once noted and re-
ported to Chief Matthews. The latter
Immediately Informs the building own
ers and while some grumbling at first
greeted the stringent rules, the owners
quickly learned that We meant business
and immediate compliance with our
orders was obtained.
1.-The f1remen report wen piles of rub
bish and any other possible sources Of
a blaze. 1t is my opinion that the
business district has avoided man
dangerous fires as a result. Previous
to an Essex avenue blaze which might
have gone on badly we learned that a
business concern clogged the yards with
wagons. We promptly ended that and
when the fire broke out In the FIRMS
shop the fremen were able to nail It
very quickly as they had previously ar
ranged for ample room in Just such an
emergency. These inspections are in
dependent of any other inspections by
other authorities and are conducted by
the chief and his aides.
