The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1909-11-03

Of the building known as Longfel- low school is plumb and the south east corner has an inclination toward the north of three-eights (S-s) of one icnh, from the water-table to the cor nice, these being the only points tried by me for perpendicular. "As for levels: I assume the bottom of the water-table on the northeast corner of the older portion of the Bostwick avenue school as a start ing point.
 q find the corresponding stone on the southeast of Longfellow school to be one-eighth Q-s) of an inch low CT. the corresponding stone where it meets the arch at the south side of the main entrance to said school to be one CD inch lower the correspond ing stone where it meets the arch at the north side of the main entrance to said school to be three-QuarterS (3-4) of an inch lower and the cores bonding stone at the northeast cor ner- of said school find to be level with said assumed starting point.
 This same line of stone or water, table is continued around the build the 'Loggia' and the corresponding point on the southeast corner of said Ioggia' is one half 0-2) inch lower
 while the corresponding point on the northeast corner is three eights (Ss) of one inch higher; also on the west. | erly side of said Loggia the cores bonding stone at the northwest corner is one eighth (1s) of an inch higher, while at the southwest corner the cor responding stone is one half ,(1k) of one inch lower and does not meet the older building by one half Gzl. of an inch, said older stone being Ql inch lower than the point of beginning. At the same time I also measured the elevation of the bottom of the copper cornice on the lozgfa "On' the cast side the north end of | cafd hof If fu trun nd ny,o eighth (21s) inches higher than the south end. and on the west side the bottom of cornice at the north end is one and three quarters Q% inches higher than the south end. The north end of cornice in both cases was con- nected with a leader.
 Two cap stones at the spring of the arch in either side of the entrance to the easterly side of the ioggia I find to vary in elevation by three eighths t(zs) of an inch. the northerly one be- ing the higher.
 There is difference in the depth of the flat arches over the west win dows in the logRia: the arch over the southwest window being about twelve and one half Q21k inches deep while the arch over the northwest window is about fourteen. and one half (141z) inches. Concerning the interior of the log gia find the floor practically level. or, to be more exact. within one eighth f (1s) of an inch. and the metal ceiling at the northwest corner two and one eighth C21s) inches higher than that at | the southwest corner.
 The interior faced brick above the
 window caps is higher at the souther- | ly end by one and one half (11z) inches than at the northerly end. and the metal corner moulding is higher at the northerly end by two and three guar ters (2&) inches than at the southerly
 end. making an apparent difference in
 elevation of four and one quarter (41z) inches
 The window stool of the northwest
 window is out of level three efghts (ss) of one inch. and the window stool of the southwest window is also out by | one quarter (5k) of an inch.
 For elevations of the floor in the
 halls on the second floor of the Long
 fellow School shall use the highest
 point found and refer the other points | side of the west hall where it meets | the west side Of the main hall At the head of the stairs in the
 west hall on the south side. it is one | eighth (1s) of an inch low.
 "On the north side of the same hall
 at a point opposite the last named. it
 Is three eighths (ss) of an inch low. At a point in the west hall on the
 hall it Is three quarters (%) of an inch
 low.
 At the southwest corner of the main hall at the head of the main l AN -- ChS SNeAANh t--ot OA oaA AnNA ! low.
 Tn the southeast corner of the | main hall at the foot of the stairs it ' Is one quarter Q-4) of an inch low. | 'In the northeast corner of the main | hall I find it five eighths (5-S) of an | inch low. and at the northwest corner ' of same hall, it is one eighth Q-S) Of ' an inch lower than at the point of be- ginning.
 "A further examination at the south erly end of the building. where the ! stairs lead from the second floor to the third, show the face brick in the south wall near its top is about one 1 half Q-2) brick, or say, one and quar- ter q 1-D inches out of level in about ten GOD feet
