II is n cause OF some qualification to Mr..
Fedeler that the average cost OF cleaning
the building is five cents year square
foot This compares favorably with the
cost of seven cents square foot for h!gh
class office buildings, as estimated in Build

a square foot for municipal buildings.
The policing force Of the building Includes
four picture gallery officers. three special
officers at entrances and two night watch
men As the cleaning OF the building Is
done mainly between the hours OF ard .
in the morning, many OF tho po"ters and
cleaners arc used FOR watching and policing
and rclicfs after those hours

did not cost a tremendous amount Of money
TO DO housekeeping on this large scale nc
said:

No one of the millions Of visitors who

lcording TO John Fcdelcr. the superintend-
ient. been interested to see how the wheels

Speared upon the scene.
That's surprising. because down under

The reporter made tho tour Of these sub

fNr. Fedeler, who, incidentally. is Har-
ward graduate, a graduate Of the Massa'
lchusetts Institute OF Technology, an able
iseaman. a deep sea diver, an inventor ano
other things
He led the way through passages bound
"a by thick brick and stone walls that. If 1t
were not for their shining whitewash'
might be taken for the walls OF some DON
ION keep. But, besides the suggestion OF
strength. there is little else to remind one
OF the donjon-it is all too clean
In a sudden recess among these passage
ways one comes upon four motors, work
ing noiselessly and unattended.
'These pump filtered air through the
rooms and force the used air out" eX-
nlained Mr.. Fedelcr. LAS the air is sucked
in through these huge ducts its tempera-
ture and the amount OF moisture are auto
maticalIy regulated. For instance, n the
air is a little too dry some steam Is IN
5ected into it,"
Behind these motors and the ducts
Through which the air is pumped are the
Icheesecloth screens that filter it. These
lscreens are renewed every day, and. al
Though the air is drawn from secluded
scourt. and not from the busy street. the
tscreens are black with dust in few
hours.
