"A fire occurred In the building at tlfe southeast corner of First and Al der streots, during which a mart Jumped from the third Story and was killed. This has shown that It is very neces sary for the building department to undertake at once the Inspection of all buildings now In the city to. see that they are properly provided, with fire escapes. This work has. been under taken to a limited extent only because of the fact that no. Inspector or inspect ors were available for such work. While the department is doing as much as can be done under the clreumatances, I believe it 4a: very necessary -i or a man to be detailed for this work alone, as It Is work that takes considerable time to get results and,-after this fire In the Oilman hotel building, It is de sirable to act as quickly as possible, as It will be much easier to get owners of buildings to put the, same in proper condition now than-it -will be three or four months hence. : urge that the executive board re quest the city council to pass an ordi nance allowing this department to take up this work for a period not exceeding six months at a salary of 85 a month."
