sired.
Each boiler will be provided with one Automat'

pended from the joists Of the first story floor by
means of patent expansive hangers. Said pipes
will be reduced proportionaly as the rising lines
are taken of, and to have valve attached at the
boilers.
We will excavate pipe ducts in all parts where
there is no cellar and wall up sides of said ducts
with substantially constructed brick work. The

and preventing the escape Of same into the apart
ments.
The Radiators in the Superintendants apart
ments will be covered with Italian Marble tops,
o. G. edge these radiators will also each have one
of Geo. W. Blake's Patent Automatic Air Valves
attached, with pipe leading 10 cellar there con-
meeting with sewer
Will also furnish galvanized iron floor tubes
through which the rising pipes will pass, where
they pass through the floors and ceilings, said

above described.
The above ducts will be finished out on top with
neat galvanized iron caps with hood.
In each Of the above mentioned ducts we will
place steam radiator Of amUle capacity for the
purpose Of rarifying the air in duct thereby caus-
ing an outward currentof air. thus carrying off all
impurities that may be in the atmosphere Of the
building.
Each Of the radiators in these ducts will be sup
piled with an outlet and inlet valve Of the lock
Asylum pattern, thereby preventing unauthoriS-
ed persons from opening or closing the valves.
