An unusually peculiar damage suit
has Just been decided in New York
by which the widow Of fire chief
has been awarded $4,000 for the loss
of his life in furniture establish
ment fire. The chief fell through an
open well hole In the building into a
cellar half filled with water and was
drowned before he could be rescued.
The open well hole was in violation
OF a city ordinance. This suit. with
its large damages, Will help to en-
phasize the highly important fact that
such ordinances are intended to pre-
vent just such accidents. and that dis
regard OF them leads to criminal and
civic liability when life is lost.
There are many ordinances OF the
kind held lightly in regard until a
fatal accident shocks the authorities
into enforcement.
