FURTHER IHEAFER
PROBE:|S0RDERED
Col. KeiIer's Committee Finds
One Case Needing More
Careful Attention.

Conditions 'warranting further at
tention have been found in one in
stance thus far by the unofficial com
mittee of builders and engineers ap-
pointed by the Commissioners to
make survey Of amusement places
Of the city. 1t was learned at the
District building today.
Engineer Commissioner Keller
stated that one report has been laid
before him by tho committee and that
he has directed that an investiga-
ton be made and the requisite or
ders issued.
Nature OF FindinSs Withheld.
Col. Keller did not disclose what
theater or theaters the report dealt
with or exactly what the nature of
the findings were. 1t is apparent.
however. that nothing of a serious
nature was reported, in view of the
fact that the Commissioners have not
ordered any theater closed.
Commissioner Keller said that he
would lay the report of the committee
before the full board Of Commission
'ers and let the board decide whether
the findings should be made public.
While Col Keller has received only
one one written report. it us understood
eight or ten of the theaters and is
continuing the survey daily.
Discussing the question in a general
way. Col. Keller said that, Of course,
the Commissioners would have the right
to order structural repairs If any should
be found necessary for the safety Of the
public.
There might be instances, he said,
where. for example, an old theater
could not be made fireproof without
complete rebuilding. The committee is
going carefully into fire protection as
well as structural safety in its exami-
nation.
