and the opinions expressed at the hear
ing. he thought it would be going to an
extreme point to close this school fol
three or four weeks to make all the
changes suggested in the report of the
committee on public buildings. He was
in favor of adhering to the original re-
port of the Board of Heath.

having that school closed for an indefi-
mite period. 1t seemed to him, that all
the changes necessary to be made, were

experts from Boston and New York. The
Board of Health was fully competent to
attend to the matter.
