BOARD
sUPT. GERLACH IS FIGURING

ings and Repairs Is at Work
Upon Calculations Showing the
Cost Of Heating Undcr Various
Systems-R emodeIiRsS OF Heating
and Ventilatin2 Is Possible.
Supt. George Gerlach. superintendent
of buildings and repairs of the board of
school inspectors, is at weril upon some
statistics showing the comparative cost
of heating the city schools per cubic foot
of air space, under the various systems of
heating and ventilation.
The compilations are being made for
the information OF the board. which IL
confronted with serious problems in con-
nection with its fuel supply as we'll as III
the efforts to secure a system of VEN
tilation that viii answer the sanitary re.
quirements Of This climate. There are a
number of the buildings equipped with
what Is known as the Ruttan system. and
there has been SO much complaint in re-
cent years coHeerRihg this, that some of
the members OF thes board have seriously
considered the ACCESSIBILITY of throwing 1t
ont, and renodeling the heating and ven
tliatlnS systems as soon as the money
can be secured under the mill and a half
special school tax. which, it is expected,
will be available for hext year
Mr.. Gerlach's figures, while not com
pleted for all the schools so far show
that the Ruttan System costs about So
cents day per cubic foot of air space,
while the schools where steam heating
and mechanical systems of ventila ton are
In use cost as low IN some cases as one
and half cents per cubic foot per day.

FIRE ESCAPES ON SCHOOLS,
Labor Commissioner McaaIe Thinks

Labor Commissioned McEIaIe Thinks
ST Paul Should Have Them.
Labor Commissioner McIIale, during his
inspection Of st. Paul manHfac ttifinp es-
adjustments, has been impressed with the
small proportion Of st. Paul school housed
that are equipped with fire escanes

is needed, and he calls attention to IN.

School buildings are not equipped with

which might attend fire in one of the
large schools.
He viii. IN a communication to the St
Paul school beard, call the attention of
that BODY to the necessity of eouipping
All Schod buildings with proper fire
escapes.
Nearly every manufacturing establish
ment In the city has been visited by Z.
representative of the labor buerau and
whenever a building is found not having
proper fire protection of this character,
an escape is ordered constructed by the
department
The law gives the labor commissioner
authority to order fire escapes for manu-
featuring establishments where paoplA
are employed above the ground floor, and
the city council has authority by ord!-
mace to order FIFE. escapes put on all
buildings except private residences.
Mr.. McHale has no authority to order
lire escape put on d school building,
but he is convinced, however, that ever,,
school house in the city should be thus
equipped IF fire should break out
in one OF the larger schools and gained
any kind of Roadway. nothing could save
the children from wholesale destruction"
said he yesterday.
George Gerlach, superintendent of re-
pairs for the school board, was seen yes
terday regarding the matter and stated
tnat all the three-story buildings were
equipped with fire escapes. The two-story
buildings with few exceptions were with
out escapes or stand pipes.
Further inquiry among school officials
brought to light the fact that the matter
had been considered on number of oc-
ca5lons and every building in the city
would be equipped with a fire escape if
the funds had been available

REPLYING TO PACKERS,

the circuit OIeOmarSnine Bill.

Assistant Dairy COmmissiOner GA
the Grout OIeOmargnine Bill.
'"Fhe packers are trying to prove that
the tax proposed on oleomargarine by the
Grout bill Is hardship on the poor
man" said Assistant Dairy Commissioners
B. d. White, yesterday. 1.-THE direct eff
feet Of the bill will be Just the reverse
1t proposes to increase the tax on colored
-oleomargarine ten cents and decrease the
tax on the uncolored from two cents to
one-half cent. 1t makes no difference in
It's value as food product whether If
is colored or uncolored. If the DubIic
wants to use eleemargarine, why not sell
1t for what 1t is. The bill aims to mako
distinction In the market between oIeo-
margarine and butter. The uncolored
oleo can, under the provisions Of the bill
be bought on basis Of cent and a half
less than before, while the colored, which
is intended to represent butter is in
creased. 1t merely seeks to protect the
public In the Chicago market In buying
butter 1t is necessary to state that you
want cow butter il you want the real
product, otherwise you will likely get
oaeomargarine.
Under the present law oleo is colored
and sold close to the price of butter and
the poor man does not know the differ
ence. The proposed new law will give
protection to the poor man.
The bill will have a tendency to in
crease the sale Of straight cleo without
the coloring, and should think the pack
ers would have no complaint coming On
that score.
