ED TO BE IN DANGEROUS
CONDITION

Workmen, who tunneled through
the basement wall Of the New Mexi-
co Normal University building this
morning to find the cause for the
settling of the steps leading to the
front entrance of the structure,
made the discovery that the wooden
ioists supporting the title floor Of
the vestibule had almost completely
rotted out, and that the floor was in
danger of collapsing at any time.
If is extremely fortunate that this
condition was disclosed, as the col

injury Of persons entering or leaving
the building.
The space under this vestibule and
the steps leading up to the front en-
trance is air tight, and the timber
had dry rotted. The slightest jar,
such as a person stepping on the
floor would might caused a cave
