 The committee appointed to investi- gate the condition of the new Bost- wick avenue school house, consisting of sAIdermen MdMurray, Bertilson. Griffin, Finlan and Burnes reported as follows:
 That they have made a very thor oush investigation of the charges and Of the true condition of said Bostwick avenue school and find that the charges brought by the officers lof' 2 and stone mosans' union No. 4. are we'll founded. that the condition of said building does not compare favor ably with the building constructed at for other corporations and private owners The committes have visited the building in question and find that even to an eye untrained in building mechanics. that the omissions and va riances from regular building codes are easily noticeable. The report of the engineers who took measurements at the building on the request of the petitioners is hereto appended and made part of this report.
 The committee further find that a partition where brick was called for in the plans. specifications and con- tract has been substituted by a wood en. partition which. in the opinion of the committee. is a very fragrant vio- lation, as this partition is directly over the boiler room and no fireproof construction intervenes between the furnaces and the aforesaid partition Your committee find that the front has been recently treated to a coating of oil, which. however. does not ma- terially improve the appearance of the building.
 Your committee deem it their duty to condemn the work on said building as being unsafe. from a fire point of view and entirely unsatisfactory from a mechanical point.
 The passage of the following resolu- tion is recommended:
 Resolved. That this report together with the report of the engineers be transmitted to the board of education with the request that they consider the matter and take what steps they may deem necessary to place the said addition in a condition that will con- form to the specifications.
