SCHOOL FOR
THE BLIND
A FIRE TRAP

After an examination of the blind
school last night Governor West today
pronounced the structure a flretrap
and that unless It Is made safe by the
time Of the convenlng Of school that
he will protest against any school be-
ing held In It until the legislature
remedies the situation.
The building is a three-story struc-
ture. In the third story are the sleep
Ing quarters Of the children. In the
basement and right under the stair
way leading to the third story, is the
heating plant. Should fire break out
at night the children would all be
burned to death like a band Of penned
rats.
The governor has been worrying
over this situation for some time.
There Is no money on hand to remedy
II, and the only way It can be cor
rected Is for the board TO create de-
ficlency or wait for the legislature to
convene. The governor does not in
tend that the school shall convene. II
II Is decided to walt until the legisla.
ture acts.
