FIRE ESCAPES
IS THERE PROPER PROVISION? "In all department stores and other business and manufetuxing buildings where large numbers of people are usually engaged' or employed or meet or assemble or are congregated, the entrance halls, corridors, doors, fire escapes, etc., shall be arranged to facilitate egress in case of fire, panic or accident." The foregoing is a clause in a City by-law, and in his annual report to the council Mr J. Doyle (chief inspector) pointed out that bargain and salvage sales were often held in the city under conditions which strongly emphasised the necessity of enforcing the provision. At last night's council meeting Councillor Fletcher asked whether the council would give effect to Mr Doyle's report on the question. Tho Mayor promised to refer the whole matter to the by-laws committee for consideration.
