During the past two weeks Building Inspector Arthur N. Rutherford and Fire Chief Robert M, Dame have been seen on several tours of inspection about the city and it is as a result of these trips that the notices have been sent, it is believed. It is said that twenty-five or thirty building owners have been notified that changes must be made, either by altering present exits or fire escapes, by installing new fire escapes or by having outside doors open outward. Building Inspector Rutherford is non-committal on the matter, but states that the public knows what the fire escape laws are and it is up to him to see that they are obeyed. He de- ned to state who the alleged vio- lators are, or where he had ordered escapes, explaining that if there is any infraction of these laws he feels sure the qwners will at once try to remedy matters. If they do not it will be time enough to give out names when the prosecuting authorities take charge, he say: IMMUNITY UPHELD. Billard, Skinner and Elton Win Fight in Supreme Court.
