since being duly authorized by the board
in the matter of fire protection at the diff
ferent schools and wish that they were
able at this time to make a more lengthy
report but are unable to do so due to short
ness of time that they have been at work.
We will not take up what we intend to do
as matters will arise when laying out the
work and doing the same that everything
cannot be considered until the committee
are in possession of all facts pertaining to
the matter in hand.
At the Central School the fire escape
course of construction. Some minor
changes were made in this escape to con-
cord with the views of the Fire Chief. This
is an iron escape on the west side Of the
building leading down from the second
floor A door will also be cut to lead onto
this escape from said floor. Another door
will be cut leading out Of the first story on
the west side of the building. The wooden
escape on the south of the building should
be taken down. in the opinion of the COM
nittec and a four foot iron escape con-
structcd in the summer without any turns
or bends.
At the johnson School the door and
frame between the boiler room and engine
room and likewise between the engine
room and corridor will be changed and APP
proved underwriters doors and frames will
be substituted in their place. The fire
| escape on the south side of the building
will be moved down so that the platform
will he on a level with the second floor and
| door will be cut in the wall leading onto
| this platform. The sides of the fire escape
will have an iron netting fastened to the
outside of the railing to avoid any possibil
ity of anyone being pushed through the
! bars.
| The Roosevelt and Primary Schools need
the most work and the committee refrain
from making any suggestions until they
are in possession of certain facts relating
to the capacity of the different fire escapes
on the market as we'll as to what the under
writer's desire in the way of protecting
points where a fire would be apt to occur.
The committe expect to have this infOrma-
ton in very short time when work will
be started at once and pushed through to
a point where the committee will feel salts
fed that they have done everything DOS
sib1e for them to do. All outside doors
where not fastened with a simple catch
from the inside will be equipped with the
Won Duprin elf-Re1easing Fire Exit
