CITY CONDEMNS
WRECKED HOUSE
Building at 140 Whitehall St
Is Ordered Demolished by
Inspector Hays.

Building Inspector Ed X. Hayes to-
day condemned the building at 14O
Whitehall street, partially wrecked yes
terday when the adjoining building col
lapsed and killed Fireman J. l. GILES
pie, and the structure will probably be
pulled down late this afternoon.
Owners of the building will hold a
conference this afternoon, at which
they will determine whether to tear
down the building themselves or allow
it done by the building Inspector at
their expense.
Inspector Hays informed the owners
the building would have to come down
at once, as pedestrians and vehicles in
Whitehall street and Trinity avenue
are in constant peril. He said he would
give the roomers in the building time to
remove their furniture before the struc-
ture is pulled down. A force Of men
was busy all morning removing the fur
niture, and all of it is expected to be
out in the afternoon.
Inspector Hayes announced that the
investigation into the cause of the col
la Se NOulO Ne resumed just DIS SOOll a.
the old building is torn down and the
debris removed. Until he makes thor
ough examination of the basement and
foundations of the walls, which were
being repaired by the Griffin Construc-
ton Company, he will be unable to ar
rive at definite conclusion and deter
mine on further action.
AT present I can only surmise as to
the cause said the inspector. The
real cause, l am satisfied, will be found
in the foundations in the basement
Inspector Hays said he thought the
building would have fallen during the
heavy rains of last night but an ex-
animation showed that the walls had
given but a quarter of an inch from
o'clock yesterday morning until the
same hour this morning.
