We recommend that the plan of proposed alteration
in the HOpeye School building be carried out as sooI
practical That all doors churches schools halls
lodge rooms. etc. be made to open outward or doub
swing. That more attention be given by owners ant
those in charge Of buildings the matter of fire pro
lection of reliable form. This matter our nrestIga
tiOn will show has been neglected in a manner .as,
termed dangerous. That electric bells for fire sigma
purposes be installed in all school buildings We arr
pleased TO report that rule the buildings iuspacse,
have been found in good condition regards rlaauli
and proper disposition shown to carry out srves
tions made.
Respectfully submitted.
