GOUNSEL APPROVES FIRE REGULATIONS Stephens Gives Tentative Sanction to Proposals of Chief Watson. Drastic regulations proposed by Fire Chief George Watson, designed to make fireproof asylums and chari ! stitutions in the District, were approved tentatively today by Francis H. Stephens, corporation counsel. Before submitting the new regulations to the Commissioners ~ for approval Mr. Stephens will study them thoroughly to &scertain if congressional legislation is necessary to put them into effect. The new regulations were drafted as a sequel to the destructive fire at the Bruen Home. Chief Watson contends that there are other institutions of its type, frame in construction, which would be fire traps in the event of a conflagration. The chief recommendation of Mr. Watson is the abolition within five years of all frame buildings housing orphans. invalids and othe dependent on charity. Firenroof, brick structures are called for. Mr. Watson believes that the expense of replacing some of the institutions now regarded as unsafe in the case of fire will force them to close or solidate with other institutions ha fireproof buildines. uch an amalga- mation is desirable, the fire chief con- tends, and would result in economy of operation. James A. Stuart, agent of the Board of Children's Guardians, is strongly in favor of the new regula- tions.
