 The building inspector also re- vealed that he found a building ot, Bank street where access to the fire escape was impossible for some ten- ants. Immediate changes have been ordered.
 MT. Hartley has begun his survey In the Cherry street section, and within the next few days will examine buildings on Vine, North Elm and other North End streets. Later he will extend the survey to other parts of the city.
 Another reason for the survey, in addition to the housing shortage, is believed to be the large number of fires in dwellings here recently. Serious loss of life might result if fire should break out in buildings with insufficient entrances and exits.

 "The convoy safely entered the port of Nemours under the protec- ton of the destroyer and land bat teries and French airplanes, which replied to the British aggression and repelled the British ships. The convoy is safe."
 (The British Admiralty's version was that the French shore batteries fired on British light naval units which ordered the ships to halt. The Admiralty said its ships did not fire on the French ships for humani- tartan reasons but replied to the fire of the shore batteries. The French report of casualties might mean either that the men killed and wounded were members of battery crews).

 Nothing can justify an attack in- side French waters. The ships car- ried nothing which was going to France which the Axis could have obtained. The convoy was saved only due to the excellent protec- ton of the Simoun, which fought gallantly against tremendous odds
