DANGER Of FIRE FROM
EXPLOSION OF LIQUOR

Both the administrative board and
the mayor have been requested by tie
board of fire commissioners to take
steps toward relieving the 'conges-
ton" in the cable room in the City
hall basement. The room is the base
of all wires running into City Hall.
1t is also the stOring-plac for all con-
fiscated liquor. The latter appears to
have the ascendency at present. The
administrative board has referred the
matter to the police justice who has
control OF the situation, being Gus
todian of the only key to the room.
The mayor said yesterday he would
see what could be done. 1t is likely
that Building Inspector Butler will be
appealed to for relief. He will be i'm
portuned to find another location for
the liquor.
In presenting its plea, the fire board
points out the dangers from fire. IL
a fash OF lightning should penetrate
into the room, fire and explosion
may result and if the City Hall burns
down many valuable papers in the
city treaSurers office may be de-
stroyed.
be in quandary, but il was said by
Justice Crutchheld yesterday that il
another convenient place is found for
storing the liquor. he will be glad to
remove his holdings.
