Two elevator shafts In course OF
reconstruction were condemned by

lay. The action came as the result
OF an investigation started by John
c. McCabe. city safety engineer. aft
er requests for elevator permits had
been referred by him 10 the build
ing department.
One was being built In an under
taking establishment on Michigan
ave. and the other in the r. q II.
Shoe company. No. 96 Gratiot.ave.
The Otis Elevator company Fri
day asked the city safety engineer
for 80 permits 10 erect elevators.
and inquiry showed that 10 OF these
had been completed OF begun be-
fore the permits were asked.
This IL not only true OF the Otis
Elevator company" said Mr. Nc
Cabe. but applies 10 other eleva-
tor manufacturers OF the city. The
city's intent in requiring a permit
was TO see that the elevators we're
supervised during installation. I
have been informed from the build
ing department that recently one
elevator company asked for 100 per
mits in one day. That shows clear-
ly that the companies have not
been complying with the city's re
quirements"
In the undertaking establishment
II was found by one OF the building
inspectors that openings had been
cut in the floors, and that all floors
were in an unsafe condition At
the r. g. H. store, Inspector Noel
found the floors 10 be shaky from
elevator construction work. proper
measures not having been taken TO
brace them.
The fact that elevator companies
have not been complying with the
requirements in having the city In
