RECEIVES ANOTHER COMPLAINT
Capt. Oyster Notified That Gage
School Annex Is Without Exits.

Complaints have been received by Capt.
James f. oyster. president of the board
of education. that another annex 10 a
school building is being constructed with
out an exit or coal vault. The building in
question is a four-room addition to the
Gage School ID street near l. street north
west.
Il am much surprised to hear of this
Capt. Oyster expIa ms. "as this is the second
annex We have found which the District
officials are constructing without any exit
and the THIRD without coal vault The
cor; ;,laii1;s, against the new school build
ings began with that at Petworth.
Parents remarked that the new structure
had no coal vaults and that fuel must be
stored in a manner to which Fire Chief
Belt objected. Following that. the citi-
Zens in the vicinity of Langdon complain
ed that the six-room addition to the Lang
don building had no exits and no coal
vaults. and an investigation showed that
the District officials in charge of the con-
struction arranged the building that
the pupils in the added six rooms must use
the overcrowded exits of the old four-room
structure. The District officials have just
promised To remedy that condition. Now
find the same faults are to be found in
the annex tn the Gage School. Supervis-
ing Principal w. b. Patterson called my
attention to it and an investigation shows
that the plans call for no exits in the
addition.
Capt. oyster added that the plans for
the building i'm question were not submitted
to the board of its approval and the men,
hers knew, nothing of the faults until the
onstruct ION work was well along.
1t is expected that the attention of the
commissioners will be called to the plans
for the Gage annex. The matter will be
presented to the board at its meeting next
week.
