| of the building is very defective. Would
recommend additional windows on the
west side of these rooms.
| Casco street school-Yard not properly
graded. There are privy vaults here
These should be replaced by latrine
water closets and cesspool.
Fremont avenue school-Yard needs
grading. The roof drains should be con-
nected with underground drains.
J Thirtieth street school-Lighting i'm
perfect in northeast and northwest
rooms. More water closets and urinals
are needed and there is insufficient hy-
drant accommodation.
Harmony school-Privy vaults here
Latrine water closets connected with
cesspool would be better. Yard should
| be graded so that rain water would drain
| off well.
| Rosedale school-There Is loose plank
| flooring in the basement of this school,
which should be removed, because 1t is
old, dusty and foul and difficult to keep
clean. The wall OF the furnace has
large crack connecting the fire chamber
and hot air chamber, thereby carrying
smoke and gases into the school room.
! The means used for extracting foul air
from the rooms is insufficient. The old
water tank or house should be removed
at once. 1t s damp, foul and disease
breeding. The water closets are un-
sanitary and should be replaced by ap-
proved sanitary plumbing.

improperly constructed and not flushed.
Furnace ie defective, air chamber caus-
ing defective heating and ventilation
Light is poor in northwest and north
east rooms.

which possibly can be helped by prop
erly staining the transoms. Wire screen
should be placed in the windows of the
attic to keep the pigeons out
Boyd street school-Defective ventila-
ton. Would advise arranging the win
dows so that they can be used in ventilat-
ing.
Olive street school-At this school there
is water in the basement and yard due to
seepage. Would advise cementing the
yard and basement. A high embank-
ment on the north of the building should
have 4 retaining wall constructed to pre-
vent accidents.
Seventh street school-CIass rooms
Seventeenth street school-Chimney
f1ues on north side of building defective,
causing smoke to descend into the class
rooms at times. Defective urinals. Some
of the shade trees should be removed

closet building. Wire screens should be
put in cupola to prevent pigeons from
building nests in the ventilating cowl.
Sand street school-Ventilation very
defective.
