CENTRAL SCHOOL
SAFE FROM FIRE
OFFICIALS AVER

Central school officials believe
criticisms of that building made
recently. condemning the facili-
ties for emptying the building in
case of fire, are unjust.
They believe the building Is as
fireproof as it is possible to make
II. The tower is separated from
the main building by sliding
doors which shut when there Is
slightest heat, The elevator and
an inside fireproof escape offer
facilities for emptying the build
ing on one end while there are
several exits on the other.
An investigation was made of
the building on Saturday aad
complaints were made that the
fire doors were locked, IL is said.
This is admitted as there are no
children supposed to be ia the
building on this day. The doors
were locked to protect property.
