night to investigate the condition ofthe local theatres had to report uponwhat alteratioas are necessary to makethem conform to the building ordi-nances their first meeting today
Aocsrauir to statement of Alexarder Friestwlt one of the membero the committee it is doubtful if 35per cent of the theatres ever will reopen tfcefar doors Strict adherence tothe building laws would require thatevery of the play houses in the citybo eC fireproof construction and thwould require the demolition and
of th majority of the theatres
Alderman Jones chairman of thesaid tonight We will first
revise the building ordinances Thenwe will vteit the theatres and decidewhat alterations will be necessary to-
mtifef the constructitaof theMouce eonto tile law Ctf course the owners
or theatres will do nothing until theyKnow Just exactly what city aldermen will demand of them but they wljlbe obliged to reconstruct their theatresto conform with ordinances
Alderman Friend declared Someo the leedlujj theatres In Chicago can-not conform to the ordhiancess unlessthey are entirely rebuilt and they mayfind it too expensive to make thechanges I do not believe over 35 per-cent of them will ever open again anyhow
