City councillors were a little leary of attending their annual dinner with University officials in Eliot House last night. At a meeting yesterday afternoon, councillor Edward Sullivan introduced an order that, "in view of the recent fire at Claverly Hall, all the fire exits in Eliot be checked before the council arrives."
Although Sullivan claims he proposed the order "in all seriousness," his fellow councillors voted it down.
The councillors did pass an order however, directing City Manager John B. Atkinson to have the Cambridge Building Department inspect all University buildings for "means of egress in case of fire."
