Claims.

In relation to the statement OF Build

school buildings are a menace to the
main buildings IN case Of fire. Engineer
Commissioner Morrow said today that
while the portable schools are as safe
as any frame buildings can be. il was
thought best 10 have them removed as
far as possible from the school build
ings. IL was for this reason. he said,
that he disappToved Of the request Of
the Board u Education that the build
ings be connected by covered passage
ways.
These buildings are frame" said In
spector Ashford, and while they are
entirely safe, 50 far as The chlldfen are
concerned. on account o. their windows
and door exits, they are menace TO the
main building in case OF nre, and any
connecting framework would increase
the fire risk to a great extent. The
buildings IN others cities are not con-
