Time To Look About

Are fire escapes on buildings purely for ornament
OF for use? There some in this city that would
be wholly inaccessible in of fire the building
Why should fire escape be situated that person
would have jump freight elevator shaft to
get to it? Some buildings have rickety wooden stairs
where fire escapes ought to be.
Conditions some FL PasO buildings of public resort
such as theaters and hotels worth investigating if
fatal panics are be avoided and deaths by fire
suffocation averted Easements and closets are cut-
tered with rubbish fire walls" pierced, air and
light shafts are cased in wood in violation of law Oily
rags left lying about old boxes filled with excelsior
thrust into dark places, spaces around boilers
used for trash heaps.
FL Paso ought to take notice of these things, off
cially and unoffcally The fire chief and the fire
marshal have limited authority, though their in
entions are and their desire the laws
enforced is earnest They must have the backing OF
the city authorities. In relation Schools theaters
churches and other places where large numbers Of
gather there ought be bubble about seeing
that conditions safe.
Why should 1t be necessary for US to wait until we
have great catastrophe to record? We have the
lesson of the experience of hundreds of other places,
and if have been spared far, that ought to make
US all the determined to keep record clean.
