The law makes it the duty of the chi+f of the fire de- partment to carry out its provisions a see to it that they are enforced. Chief Templeton has lald the matter before the city council committee on fire and light and it is expected that the committee will report at tbe meeting of the coutoll to- night The state law classifies the bulldings which muat be provided with fire escapes as follows: . Hotels or lodging houses of threo or more stories in height; tenements or boarding houses of three or more ries in height, occupted by ome or more fam- illes or aggregating twenty persons or more, provided that & mansard roof or attic, when used for sleeplng rooms, shail be counted as one story; buildings used as | g opera houses, theaters or public halls of a seating capacity exceeding 300; public school bulldings, seminaries and colleges more than two storles In height; hospitals aod asylums of three or more stories in belght; manufactories, warehouses and bulldings of all characters of three or more ® | stories in helght. The act makes it the duty of the chief of the fire department to notify the owners of bull as classified in this st and which are not provided with fire escapes, to comply with the law within sixty days from the service of the motice, and faflure to comply with the notice will subject the owner of the bullding to a fine of not less than $50 and not more than $100, and & further five of §26 for each additional week of meglect to comply with the motice. Some Object to Compl N As yet Chlet Templeton has served no formal notices, but has persomally called the sttention of owners of buildings which will have to be provided with fire escapes to the recently enacted law. In most in- stances he has been met with a willing- Dess on the part of the owners to comply , but in a few Instances the rotested sgainst what they apeuse Lue iaw wyniews plates putting them to. In August, 1800, s city ordinance was passed compelling the erection of fire es. capes upon all buildings within the cor- porate limits of the city of Council Bluffs three stories high or over, and all opera houses, theaters, hotels, public hells, lodge- rooms, museums, lecture rooms, public libraries, schoolhouses and- buildings’ used for places for amusements of any kind, and and many bulldings which ordinance contemplated should be furnished with fire escapes are still without them. Under the state Iaw, however, there i3 no escape and it 1s made obligatory on the ghlet of the fire department to enforce its provisions. Sshool Buil ge Come In. Chief Templeton has called the stten- tion of President Sargent of the Board of Bducation to.the law and the school dis- trict will be .required to place escapes upon the Bloomer and Washington Avenue school bulldings and posaibly upon the new High school and Plerce Street school. The Bew High school is two stories and a basement high, as & the Plerce Street school, and there Is & stion whether these bulldings will be construed as being more than two etories high. The Wash- ington Avenue and Bloomer schools are both three stories in height and clearly come within the provisions of the law, | Chief Templeton gave It as his opluion yesterddy that the new High school should iy OF INTEREST FROM IOWA. bring with him all the old members of the bund who saw service in the Philip- pines, as well as the present members.
