At the request of Commissioner Macfar-
land detail of inspectors under Building
Inspector Ashford, visited the ruins of the
administration building at the boys reform
school, which was almost totally destroyed
by fire week ago, and their report on the
present state of the building was received
by the Commissioner today. Mr. Ashford
stated that the school is exempt from the
provisions of the local building regula tons
and, consequently. the connection of his Of
flee with the case could be in no more than
an advisory capacity.
The gist of the report is contained in the
statement that the main building is total
wreck. and that the walls still standing
will necessarily have to be torn down The
two wings of the building. it is added, are
in slightly better condition. though the
general opinion, repeated by Commissioners
mcfarland this morning, is that none of
the structure is Salvable.
The report. together with pictures of sew
eral modern reformatory buildings now in
use In various parts of the country. will
be presented by Mr.. Macfarland before the
next meeting of the board of trustees of
the boys reform school.

channels leading to that port open to navi-
CATION even in the coolest weather, which
has recently been rebuilt and had four
new boilers installed at cost, it is stated,
of over $4,000, is again ready. for service,
having made trial trip to test the steam
ing qualities of her boilers several days
ago
The vessel will again this winter be COM
manded by Capt. Jim Geoghegan. formerly
master Of the Weems line steamer Sue, who
is wei known in this city. The Latrobe
is a big side-wheel steamer so constructed
that her paddle wheels will crush very
heavy ice and will open broad channel
through it, When ice forms she is kept
cruising to keep the channels open, and If
a vessel is reported caught in ice the La
trobe is sent to break her out and assist
her to her destination. During the summer
months she is employed in running excur-
sions for the benefit of the poorer people
of Baltimore. who cannot afford to go on
excursions, and who seldom have an OPP
portunity for a days outing on the water.
These excursions are given under the aus
pices of the charitable societies OF Baltf-
more
