averting of calamities by lire such as be-fi-1
the Fifth Avenue Hotel in New

My ree 'lit sTatoments. the pn!if of
our leading hotels with th.;r high
charges, are .-hown to bj very large,
th'refore, it is in their power to convert
an 1 change th ir hotels to fire pro d
buildings. Taverns tinder three, si or!e-
are not nearly so dangerous, (and might
be permitted to stand,) be en use being
low, ev;:ipe from fire is po--j: 1 ; above
(ha? height, they should, by too laws of
the land, be coiupo.Ied to he built abso
lutely fire proof. The po r and lament
ed victims at tiie Fifth Avenue I say
truly poor, yet in (Jed's sigot the lives
of those poor ciils wire as precious a-;
that of the Queen on her throne,
wou'd I kely have been paved had the
Fifth Avenue had a ali hotels shou'd
liave either iron or stone stairways
fro ii turr.tt to 1'ouM bit on .-tone.
Nearly :dl 'arg bilu lings i;i Murop
have stone or iron stairways, and ibis

from fire. Ho-.v vast would be the
saving in bu oa:i life, property and in
surance, if till oar homes were built of
stone, iron and slate. M- n would then
leave family and home in peae know I
