Technical High School. ;.,s.-..=. +.
We ind there are several cracks in !
the walls which should be repaired
before the painting 10 done. We
would recommend the painting Of the
wallis of the Office and Of the first
and second door corridors Of this
building. rs - ~.
We would also recommend the flt-
ting up Of the chemical laboratory.
and have asked our superintendent to
get hold Of Mr.. timer, the architect
from st. Louis, Mo-, and have him
make plans for the tables and ar
rangement of the laboratory furni-
ture, etc., and also the domestic sci
ence equipment. We find that it will
not be any more expensive to get him
when he makes one Of his Hibbing
trips, and he is up-to-date in labora-
tory arrangement. etc.
Would also recommend black
boards for the lecture room, as this
room is used continually for classes
in mathematics.
Would recommend that sill cocks
be- put in so a hose could be attach
ed to water the lawn.
Would recommend also that the
committee get what the cost of the
full equipment for the manual train
ing and domestic science departments
would amount to. and report to the
Board.
Roosevelt School. <>*'''>*
We would recommend the: chang
ing of the doors to the basement, az
the exit from the north and south
doors is depressed about three steps
before the landing to the door. In
other words, as you leave the build
ing you have to 30 down to the
landing of the basement door, and
then up again three steps to the out
side door. We would recommend
that this be changed so that the ex-
it could be made without going down
and then up again. It will necessi-
tate the changing Of the door to the
basement, but we feel that it is the
proper thing to do.
We would recommend the painting
Of the domestic science room.
We would also recommend taking
out the partition between the old IL
brary and the room adjacent, thus
making a good class room, as this
will undoubtedly be needed the CON-
ing school year.
We recommend a fire-proot door
between the boiler room and engiue :,
room; also reconstruction of outside
door to boiler room.
Would also recommend repair to
the toilets.
Johnson School.
We would recommend an addition
al section in the two radiators In
the room from which the fire escape
leads on the second floor on the south
end. We understand that it was i'm
possible to keep this room warm this
past winter In extreme weather, and
this was on account of the doors
leading to the fire escape.
We would also recommend the
of the toilets, the lower nve
feet next to the floor
We would recommend hose con-
nection being made from the engine
room 80 that a hose can be attached
which will reach any part of the
basement.
Would recommend the final grad
ing and leveling OF Of the play
ground back Of the school building.
It was mentioned that q vacuum
cleaning system would be very desir-
able for this building.
The Chairman of the Buildings and
Grounds Committee was to get proper
advice as to whether the present en-
CINE would carry the load in addition
to what it has. The chairman of the
committee, however, on account of
press of other business, has not been
able to get this report but vii do 30
az soon as possible.
c. E. HENDR1CK,
Chairman.
After due discussion the chairman
entertained the following motion:
Moved by r. J. McGhee, second
ed by J. H. Fleming, that the report
