Johnson inspected the building on the southwest corner of First Avenue and Third Street, Rochester, which he was informed was deeded to the city of Rochester through a will of one of its citizens. In this building there is a hydraulic elevator which runs from the basement to the second floor. It was at the basement landing at the time of the inspeotion.. The enclosure around this elevator on the first and second floors has sliding - doors that can be opened from the outside. The elevator apparently is not used a great deal. We, therefore, recom- mended that these elevator doors be locked shut. Throughout the state there have been several accidents that happened in just this way. These accidents are generally very serious as well as very costly. That is why this department issued that recommenda- tion. If it is impossible for the people in Rochester to find this elevator, someone from this department will be in your city before the end of the wee'_. They will show you where the elevator is.
