Synopsis
Excerpt from Annual Report of the Inspector of Buildings: For the Year 1881
The attention of this department has, to a considerable extent, necessarily been directed to the inspection of hoist ways and elevators. The large increase in their number since the fire of 187 2, the increased height of buildings now being erected, the introduction of elevators into classes of buildings heretofore not generally provided with them, such as hotels, family hotels, operative and public buildings, and the especial danger from accident, and the extension of fire in their use, indicate that more than ordinary attention should be given them.
