_ IDEN 1 AIRE ESCAPE ORONANG Would Compel Owners of 200,000 Dwellings to Buy Many $20 Escapes. AUTOMATIC” IS JOKER. Alderman Butden, He of “Gas Cut-Of” Project, Father of Proposed Law. An ordinance which, if passed, will Bost the home owners of New York City at least $24,000,000, assure that Bum for a single manufacturing con- fern and directly help to keep up or Increase high rents in all small houses ccupled by tenants, has been intro- @uced in the Board of Aldermen and now being considered by the Com- ittee on Buildings. The introducer the ordinance is Alderman Samuel Burden of Long Island City, Chairman of that committee, The ordinance is intended t@ amend ection 162 of article 8 of chapter 6 ‘of the Code of Ordinances relating to fire estapes by inserting a new para- graph. This amendment ts one providing for the installation of automatic fire @scapes. It reads: “Whenever any building three stories or more in height,. used for dwelling purposes, is not now required by law or ordinance to be equipped with means of fire escape, the Fire Commissioner or the Superintendent or Buildings having jurisdiction may require every sleeping room with an opening on either the front, the rear or side of such, building to be equipped with an automutic fire escape, approved by the Board of Standards and Ap- peas.” Only one automatic fire escape has deen approved by the Board of Stand- ards and Appeals. Thot one ts the Davy automatic fire escape, manu- factured by C. Ff. Davy « yracuse, New York, and having an office at 5 41 Park Row, New York City, Davy's application for approval wos filed on The cost of a single Davy automat- Ye fire escape is $20, plus 9 cents per foot for cable. There are about 300,000 one and two family houses in the city. Of these about 200,000 may be construed as coming within the provisions of the ordinance {ntro- ternoon the br $74,000,000 GRAB |”"*- Says She Got Divorce From Son of Hoboken Million- aire for Desertion Miss Alice Key Comely Oct. 14, 1919.

For example, there are in different boroughs tens of thousands of pri- vate houses containing two and anattic floor. Under the sure of high taxes and other costs, the rooms on the attic floor are let for lodging purposes. Fach of the sleeping rooms, should the ordinance become a la would have to be equipped with an antomatic fire escape. The same may be true of wh two-family houses uthough holling only two fam often actually more than two stories and May be construed as coming within the deffnition and intent of the ordin- ance, if it becomes law. To each of the 200,000 houses pos- sibly affected an average of six sleep- ing rooms may be allowed, even con- gidering the fact that in some small houses there are interior sleeping rooms having no windows. In all this would mean 1,200,000 rooms that might have to be equipped with auto- matic fire escapes at $20 each, pres- ent price. There is no guarantee that if a big demand should set in the Price would not go higher. But at the current price the total charge upon the community would be $24,000,009. ‘This estimate «oes not include the additiona} cost of 9 cents per foot of cable, the aggregate of which cost would run into large figures. Fire Department statistics sho * that dwelling house fires have been diminishing and that the number of Mineola, deaths in houses occupied by not more than two families has been small, Of 9,876 fires in this class of sbuildings from 1916 to 1920 inclusive, | SU@rding there were 182 deaths. These were casualties either caused on the spot by-fires or subsequently from inj received at the time of the fire: Fire Department officials say that even In the most modern buildings amply equipped with every device, deaths often result because the occupanis become panic-stricken, It was Alderman Burden who, as Chairman of the Committee on Build- ings, favorably reported in April last the gas cut-off ordinance which would have entailed an expense of $45,00v,- 000 to property owners. The Evening World so vigorously called public at- tention to this increase that a popu- lice feur. PLAN MORE STAIRWAYS AT WALL ST.
