RIGID LAW FOR
HOTEL KEEPERS
Strict Enforcement of New Legislation
Il Now Plan Of State Official
According To Reports
CITES ONE STRONG INCIDENT
James H. Wallis Issues Strong Bulletin
To Propristors That Must Provide
For Fire Prote etion

Hotels and lodging houses that
have not complied with the new
law on the statute books in this
state with reference to proper fire
protection, are going to be closed
as fast as James H. Wallis, state
hotel inspector, can get to them.
Mr. Wallis proposes to protect the
patrons of these establishments, no
matter if they are in the remotest
part of Idaho. When he received
word recently from north Idaho of
the trapping and death of man
named Kennedy in a hotel at lola,
which was burned to the ground,
he decided on instant action against
hostelries not properly equipped to
protect their patrons. Mr.. Wallis
is sending out bulletins to all hotel
and rooming house keepers to pro-
vide their establishments with pro-
per fire equipment as the new law
requires, or run the risk of being
prosecuted and having their places

the Village Board of Trustees of

certify that the above estimate of
money necessary for all purposes
to be raised in the Village of Bon
ners Ferry aforesaid was duly
made by the Village Board of
Trustees of said city and ordered
spread at large on the minutes
kept by the Village Board of
Trustees of said city at regular
meeting held by them on the 18th
day of June, 1912.

closed up. The lola fire resulted
i'll the unfortunate man, Kennedy,
being caught in the hotel like rat
in a trap. There was no possible
way for escape. After the build
ing burned to the ground his
charred remains were taken from
the debris.
In some cases. says Commits
sioner Wallis, "this will work
hardship on many lessees OF hotels
because they cannot get the owners
OF the buildings to make the per
manent improvements required by
law and which the law makes the
owner responsible for. The clos.
ing up of such places will mean
great loss to these lessees, as in
many cases they are too poor to
provide this equipment and have to
lose their little business as the re-
suit, but we are in position where
we cannot take chances with the
law and so far as we are concerned
there will be no loss of life in any
hotel because of the lack of fire pro-
lection. The new law fixes a pen
atty of $500 fine and not to exceed
one years Imprisonment for any
hotel inspector who shall wilfully,
certify regarding any building in
spected by him and he shall issue
certificate to no person operating
any hotel who has not fully com
piled with the law. While we
have endeavored to be lenient as
possible since the new law went in
affect, over a year ago, we have
now come to the parting of the
ways, and people who expect to
operate hotels and rooming houses
in Idaho must strictly comply with
the law, or they will not receive
license to operate such business.
Following is a bulletin which
has been issued by State Commits
sioner Wallis:
To the Keepers of Hotels and
Rooming Houses.
Because of the fact that no less
than seven hotels have been de
stroyed by FIRE since the new hotel
law went into effect, attended in
one case with loss of life, have de
cided to commence the strict en-
forcement of the provisions of this
law and have given instructions to
deputies now in the field to compel
the keepers of all hotels and room
ing houses to equip their establish
ments with proper IRE protection
as specified in the law or close up
such places. This includes tre
escapes, signs and stand pipes. 1t
is an offense to conduct a Toom1ng
house or hotel without license
and all licenses will be revoked
where hotels or rooming houses are
found deficient in FIRE protection
The hotel law has been in effect q
year last May, and that should be
plenty of time for owners or lessees
of such places to adjust themselves
to the new conditions.
Inasmuch as the hot season is
approaching, attention is directed
to the fact that the new law require:
the screening of all bed rooms and
dining rooms and the absence Of
such screens will be sufficient cause
for prosecuting the owner OF lessee
where such screens are not found
The same with reference to meta
