one end of the year to the other its
windows will remain closed-if the
new air filters prove successful.
Their success thus far is attested
by the statement of Chief Engineer j.
c. JuIgensen that nearly a barrel of
dust had been filtered daily from the
air since the hotel was opened some
seven weeks ago.
According to Chief Engineer Jur-
geEsen, during the forty-odd days that
the filters have been in operation ex-
actly thirty-three and a fraction bar
rels of dust have been combed, so to
say, out of approximately one hundred
million cubic feet of air as inhaled
and exhaled by the hotel during its
brief existence of less than two
months.
