When Inspector seeman was here
several months ago he saw that the
three buildings were considered three

must be put on. The board installed
a fire ladder on the high school, be-

the inspector to come down and look
over the escape. He did so, and in

would not be necessity. The in.

interior construction Of the three
buildings, the absolutely fire proof
stairways and halls. decided that no
outside ladders were necessary.

ed with educational and entertaining
motion picture films; to expend less
money for horse races and give it for
the production of good stock; to have
demonstrations of lhborsaving de-
vices in the home to be given by
someone acquainted with such work
who could also talk on the subject
