FIRE HAZARDS IN
OREGON CITY TO
BE COMBATTED
That drastic action will be taken in
Oregon City to prevent the violation
of the accepted code for removal of
fire hazards, is the indication of the
statements of representatives of the
fire marshal's office following a sur
vey here Thursday.

Gleason, in company with Fire Chief
Priebe looked over conditions here,
especially with reference to public
buildings. Practices whicly result in
the jeopardizing of lives and property
are still being continued despite the
former recommendations, they say.
Especial comment was made on the
condition of Willamette hall. The
practice of throwing cigarette stubs
and matches around the 6nte-rooms
must be discontinued as the fire haz-'
ard is too great, they say. If this is j
not done, the state office will take
measures to prohibit public gather- i
ings in the hall. Similar action ap- .
plies to other places in the city. j
Householders are being warned
igainst the common practices of us
ing inflamable containers for ashes
and similar common breaches of the
code. The representatives of the fire
marshal announce that the campaign
to prevent further loss in the city is
to be carried to the'full extent which
the law allows.
