Strong Ordinance
and Authorities Will En
force it to Letter
i.
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
