New Protests on
Egress Law
Cost to Owners to
Neon Confiscution,
Commissioners Told

The Commissioners again have
under advisement the contro-
versial fire prevention regulations
proposed for the city's older build
tngs following repeated pleas for
postponement of any enforce
ment at hearing yesterday.
Much opposition to the new
regulations. the so-called egress
laws. developed at yesterday hear
ing and at an earlier one Monday. :.
John H. Connaughton. presi-I
dent Of the Federation Of Citi-
zens' Associations. asked the
Commissioners to delay any
change in the present building
code for "at least a year." Guy
Timer. representing the Fedora
ton Of Civic Associations, asked
for six months time IN which
the regulations could be studied.
Adopted In 1914.
The regulations were adopted
In 1914 to become effective in
1945. Enforcement Of the regu-
1ations In regard to building,
existing before that time has been
postponed, but the regulations for
new construction have been In
effect since 1946.
Last year the egress laws were
rewritten and substantially re-
Taxed. The hearings this week
were to hear last-minute sug-I
gestions before the Commissioners
began enforcing them as they,
theoretically, have been in force
since January l.
The Commissioners were un-
able to give an estimate of when
a decision would be forthcoming.
Opposition Predicted.
Mr.. Connaughton said that al
though the Federation had not
taken official action on the mat
ter. he was certain I'VE will be
violently opposed" at the next
federation meeting.
He said the regulations would
cause expenditure OF considerable
money and, in some cases, so
much that it would amount toI
conf1scation of the property.
Morris c. Bishop, treasurer OF
the Washington Property Owners
Association, testified the regula-
tions should be limited to places
of public assembly and to places
containing incapacitated persons.
The "overburdening expenses"
would result in the confiscation of
much property. he added.
His association also asked for an
extension of time so the laws could
be studied. i
Burden on Small Places.
Charles j. Rush. executive Sec
fetary of the Washington Real
Estate Board. said his group
wanted a six-month delay so al
study could be. undertaken.
Paul J. Miller. representing the
Washington Guest House Assocta-
tion. said the main hardshipsl
would fall on the owners Of small
rooming houses and apartments.
1.-The regulations will bankrupt
the majority of the small property
owners in the city," he declared.
1--WE can't expect to rebuild Wash
ington completely"
The regulations as proposed
would require extensive remodel
ing of most of Washington older
buildings. Stairways would have
to be inclosed, windows and doors
flreproofed. additional exits pro-
vided and numerous other changes
made.
