FIRE ESCAPES
HOTELS TO BE BETTER EQUIPPED. (By Telegraph. Press Association). WELLINGTON, this day. Within the next six months owners of wooden hotel buildings in Wellington have to provide each upstairs room with an external iron platform as a means of escape for the occupants in the event of fire, according to a decision of the Wellington Licensing Committee. The chairman of the committee stated that the committee entertained very definite views that ropes outside bedrooms and fire escapes, so called, at the end of passages upstairs were in many cases an inadequate provision.
