State Inspector to Start
Vigorous Hotel Inspection
C.uthrie. Okla.. June 4- Oklahoma'
hotel inspection law. better known as
the "nine-foot sheet law," Is to be
brought Into the limelight again, ac
cording to the annoiinceni&t made by
Or. J. C, Mahr, state commissioner of
health. ho saya that a vigorous cam
paign in the way of hotel Inspection is
to be started at once under the direc
tion of his department.
While the law has been In effect for
a yvar, very little inspection work bag
been done. This Is partly due to the
contradictory condition which arose,
through careless enrollment of the bill
creating the commissioner of public
health, or from ome other cause. That
bill as It passed the legislature provid
ed for the appointment of county
health officers, by the btute commis
sioner of health, while the enrolled
copy contained a provision, which bad
in fact been rejected by the legisla
ture, providing that they should be
appointed by the county commission
er of the various counties.
The hotel Inspection bill made the
county health officers the hotel In
spectors, and lo several counties there
were two health officers, one appointed
by the commissioner of health and the
other by the county commlalonera,
each claiming the right to Inspect
hotels and to receive the reaultlng fee.
The hotel proprietors refused to pay
the fees to either fearing that they
might have to come through again if
they did so, and the result was that
the enforcement of the law was practi
cally tied up.
Now the health commissioner is go
ing to require every hotel to display
In a prominent place a certificate of
Inspection or go after it for violation
of the law. He announces that a re
ceipt from the hotel Inspector that
fees have been paid will not be suf
ficient, and that the ce'U'icate must
be displayed tw " the benefit of the gen
eral public. The board of health will
require that the public nhall be pro
tected In case of fire, that sanitary con
ditions miifct be good, that the building
should be properly screened, and that
each hotel thould be thoroughly
fumigated as required by law, as well
as seeing that the sheets are of the
proper length.
One of the provisions of the law that
most of the hotels have been objecting
to Is the one which requires the
maintenance of rope fire escapes in
every room. Tue law in one section re
quires that all hotels over two stories
In height shall be equipped with Iron
fire escapes, and a little farther on
provides that every hotel which Is not
over two stories la height and not pro
vided with fire escapes shall provide
in every bed room or sleeping apart
ment on the second floor a nianila, cot
ton or sisal rope at least five-tenths of
an inch in diameter and or sufficient
length to reach the ground, with'knots
or loops not more than fifteen Inches
apart and of sufficient strength to
stand a strain of 500 pounds.
In spite of the fun which has been
poked at the nine-foot sheet provision,
it la generally recognized as a meritori
ous proiosition and h'd the hearty
and united support of the traveling
men of the state. If it had not been
for the active Interest which they took
In regard to the bill at every stage of
Its passage It Is very doubtful whether
It would have bee a passed at all.
There were two propositions upon
which the traveling men stood togeth
er, the nine foot sheet law and "Jim
Crow" law and the two measures were
among the first laws to be enacted by
the first state legislature.
