DALIES, Or.. Dec. 20 Spe cial to The Statesman.) The Dal- la city council tn session Monday I i night passed one of the strongest fire ordinances in the state, and I one that It U hoped wi'l lessen j the danger of fire and prevent such a disarter as wined out the i business district of Astoria two weeks ago. The new ordinance, which re- nil Kurh nrd in an hereto- rore made, prevents the construc- tion of any building within the business district of the city from anythlng but concrete, brick, building tile, rtone or concrete blocks. Heretofore , buildings could be erected of sheet Iron over wood frames, but these are to be prohibited in the future. The ordinance also states that where a wooden building now withln the fire limits becomes damaged by fire to a certain ex tent, or where it becomes delapl- dated. It cannot be repaired, but must be torn down and a building of non-inflammable construction erected. Dal as. like most other cities and towns in the rtate, has its greatest fire hasards in the rear of the mercantile establishments in the shape of old woodsheds and warehouses, and it was a step to wards eliminating (this hazard that the ordinance, was pasoed Monday night. Repeated effort have been made in the past j two years by the council to clean up the alleys In the rear of the business houses and to provide for the safety of guests at the hotels, rooming houses and apartment houses. An ordinance was passed prohibiting the setting of fires for the burn ing of trash In the downtown dis trict, but this ordinance has only been half-heartedly followed. An ordinance was also passed calling for the placing of fire escapes on Jthe hotels and rooming houses', but this has never been complied with although efforts have been made by the state fire marshal's office to have the law followed out. In the future the council intends to have these measures followed out to the letter and all violations of the ordinances will DALLAS CI L at w holesal 'choice bargains, i This $450 Easy tO a- ill oi purlin .fiiiniir. 7 v brought an and fined before police Juidge.
