Al do, but only IN Il clean way
No man in the Fire Department can
ever say that did him dirty trick.
Former Chief Edward F. Croker, or
the New York fire department, was call
ed as an expert, after Chief Proctor.
Attorney Darr outlined the conditions
that existed at the. Seventh street fire
and asked whether, under these conal-
tions a deputy chief would be justified
TT would be the only thing to do"
Chief Croker replied. The proper
thing to do was to send men in. Just as
CHIEF Sullivan did.
Mr.. Croker then explained that fire
men look for and expect to be hurt at
all times. Il would rather take my
chance In an old frame building than
In a modern structure" he said AS
the latter is far more dangerous"
Continuing he said the only way 70

Croker !ErnIaius CnIlaose
Asked for his explanation of the col
lapse Of the Seventh street structure, he
said that from what information he had
been able to obtain, he was Of the
opinion the cast iron columns, which
supported the center Of the floors, had
become overheated and streams Of
water from the hose lines cooling them
suddenly had caused them to crack. In
this condition IT would not be surprising
for the water-logged floors to give way.
Mr. Syme cross-examined Chief Croker
and brought out an explanation Of the
reason for his belief that Sullivan was
right in his fire-flghting method. ut is

In answer to questions the Chief said
there were many cases when heavy

chances, particularly In a congested dis

Sidewalks Cleared, Even
Though There Is No Law

That a majority OF property owners
in all sections OF the District either
cleaned or had cleaneS the snow from
the sidewalks, was due simply to the
fact that they desired to accommo-
date pedestrians and not because
there is any law compelling them to
sweep off the snow.
Every time there is a fall OF more
than an inch of snow here the need for
such a law is urgently shown, because
there are a god many people whD just
went clean the snow off because the
law doesn't require them TO. On the
ether hand, the police say there are
some people who clean their sidewalks
only because they think they arc com
pelIed &c by law, and do 1t for the sole
purpose Of escaping arrest
Every winter a snow law has been
agitated. Years ago there wtls an 'r-
dinanCe against leaving snoV! on the
sidewslk a certain number OF hours, but
some enc took a test Gaze to the higher
courts, and the law was knocked out.
