CITY HOSPITAL
STRUCTURE IS
FIRE HAZARD
Old Building Is Branded
Trap by HogSton,
State Chief.
PATIENTS LIVES PERlLED
Board of Health to Call
Special Meeting to
Discuss Crisis.

That patients on the second floor
of an old building at city hospital
are in veritable fire trap was the
declaration of Alfred E. Hogston,
state fire marshal, today.
This afternoon Hogston was to
issue an order absolutely forbid
ding use of the building for hos
pital purposes.
DR.. William Doeppers, city hos
pitaI superintendent, and DR.. Her
man Morgan, city health board
secretary, today declared the order
will create crisis in city hospital
affairs.
An average of forty patients are
housed in the building, the con-
tagion wards being located in the
structure. Informed of Hogston's
action, d.. Doeppers declared the
hospital has no facilities for the
contagious cases in the event use
of the building is forbidden.
Meeting to Be Called
A new dispensary and out-patient
building, now under construction,
will not be completed until Jan. l.
A special meeting of the board of
health probably will be called for
Thursday to discuss the situation
and Fire Marshal Hogston will be
called into this meeting.
The board, at its last meeting,
ordered letter sent to the state
fire marshals Office asking what re-
pairs were necessary to permit use
of the building until completion OF
new facilities. The letter had not
been forwarded today.
The building was condemned
eighteen months ago by the state
fire marshal. The new order will
demand use of the structure for
hospital purposes be discontinued
and that it be torn down.
Used for General Purposes
During the meningitis epidemic
last winter, city authorities asked
the order be modified in order that
the building could be used as a pest
house for isolation of the victims
The plea was granted.
Fire Marshal Hogston today de-
clared he has learned that since the
epidemic ended the building has
been used for general hospital pur-
poses. Patients are in rooms on the
second floor, and the lower floor is
used for treatment of patients dis
charged from the hospital who re-
turn for attention, and as a drug
store for the hospital building.
Harry Stiner, inspector, and Cash
Graham, chief of the inspection di-
vision of the fire narshaPS ofhce,
made a new inspection of the build
ing Tuesday and reported that re-
pairs to meet the state fire DEPART
ment regulations would involve
costs as great as the cost of a new
building.
Not Fit for Use
The report declares the structure
mot fit for use as a blacksmith
shop" and declares the basement is
filled with trash and debris of high
ly infammable character"
The floors are of wood and creak
as if about to collapse, the report
sets out, and wooden stairwayS are
provided throughout the structure.
The report also declares the
attic is filled with trash.
1.-THE building is worse fire haz-
ard than the old court house at Ko-
komo or the city hall at Marion, "
Hogston declared today. Both these
buildings were condemned recently
by the state fire marshal.
