HEATING SCHOOL HOUSES.
Committee or Jsnitors Evolve Some Inter.
estlng fncts and Flgures.


The committee consisting of Clinton Yer
millan, J. Il. Ferguson, aud W. X. Shield,
jauitors Of the rublic schools appointed by
the commissioners some time ago to determine
the best way Of heating the public schools
and the best mntcriel 10 be used have sub.
mtted their report The tables of cost for
each room referred to them they pronounce
erroneous, as In some cases school buildings
heated by steam are not credited with all the
rooms they contain, and those heated by Rut-
tan furnaces are cEeditcd with too many
rooms. The committee examined nine build
ings heated by the Ruttan system containing
scventy.seven rooms, aud seventeen buildings
heated by steam containing ~ rooms The
report gives. the following rs comparative
statement of the cost Of the Ruttan heaters per
room IN the public schools from July l, 1888,
TO July L., 1881: Miner u rooms, S3G.SJ;
Blnneker, s rooms, s5O.3l; Randall, rooms,
s33i3; Amidou, rooms. S2S.35; Abbott, o
rooms, S2l.gS; John Il. Cook, 3 rooms,
s25.5s: Morse, $ rooms, sj2.2i Twin
ing rooms S22i; Brent $ rooms,
more per room than estimated In the tables
prepared nj the district bnilding. Consider
ing the statements of the innltOrs using the
Ruttan furnaces, frequent dismisals Of schools
during moderate weather, the repairs needed
during their first season, and from the smoky
condition Of the chimncys aud roofs, they con
slider the Ruttan system fur from advantageous.
In regard TO the difference OF cost in heat
ing the buildings, the committee find that 1t
is due to the location of the buildings, con-
struction OF heating apparatus, and vast differ
encc in the size Of boilers used, some build
ings having one others two boilers. They
find that the Jefferson, twenty one rooms, has
boilers of the same capacity Us the following
twelve room buildings viz: Analostan, Gar
nett Webster, and Henry, and of less capacity
than the boilers In use at the Peabody Force,
and franklin buildings. As cleanliness In the
schools Is one of the most important requisites,
II would not be wise to substitute Cumberland
for hard coal, in view of the fact that the
building run at the least expense last year was
heated by steam and used hard coal.

this is certainly very low wages 20 support q

The contractors are paying their men Sl.JO per
day, and as consequence they get the best
men, and the district is unable to secure
enough good, trustworthy labOrers to perform
the necessary work. The increase asked for
would insure better wOrEmen and, in the long
run, be In every way desirable and economical.
