After visits of inspection to nearly all the hotels throughout New York city, it is found that some are without the requisite fire escapes on certain parts of the building, while inadequate precautions in this respect are lacking in others These defects will be at once remedied. Other buildings, such as theatres, factories, and those harboring a large number of persons, were also visited. In some of the large buildings it was found that the staircases were not of the required width. Some of the theatres were without proper exits, and others had not a sufficient number of them.
