Public Buildings.

Report of Committee on Prisons ant
, Public Buildings.
To the Honorable Chairman ant
Members of the Grand Jury:
County Hospital
Gentlemen-We find that the wall:
of the county hospital are blackenet
and to some extent discolored. Thi!
condition being caused principal,
through the faulty heating furnace
which has been repaired. We fine
that the paint on the outside of the
building is not sufficient to preserve
the wood. We, therefore, recommend
that the county commissioners have
it painted outside and inside.
County High school
We find that the high school build
ing is generally in good condition,
though there are some rooms that are
not completed which could be used
to good advantage IL the necessary
improvements were made.
We find that the unavoidable noise
during school hours in the manual
training room is very annoying to
the pupils of the various departments.
and we, therefore, recommend that
a separate building be erected for
the use of the manual training
classes.
While visiting the school We had the
pleasure of attending a meeting of
the county board of education and
the teachers. In there discussion
many matters of interest to the
school were brought out, all of which
goes to prove that they are striving
to bring the institution up to the
highest standing.
For the purpose of Strengthening
the board in their contemplated
move, we recommend that a system
of military training be adopted for
the students.
We find there are no fire escapes
and 1t seems that some of the Off
Gals in authority are under the i'm
preston that they are not needed.
After careful thought on this mat
ter, We believe that they may be
needed and We, therefore, recommend
that at least two fire escapes be at
tached to the building.
City Of Ely Building
We find that the city hall and
prison are in reasonably good con-
dition and do not think it necessary
to recommend improvements at this
: time.
Ely Public School Building
We find that the Ely public school
. buildings are lot sufficiently large
Y to properly accommodate all the
children in the district and that II
has become necessary for the schoo'
{. board to lease or rent a room in the
: basement of a building near the
y school grounds for one grade, which
i room in u judgment. is o entire
ly satisfactory.
2 We find that there is but one ext
to the main school building, though
plans are now being prepared for al
: exit in the rear of the building will
a stairway leading down from tn
: top floor.
There are no fire escapes, but w
believe that the stairway would b
most valuable in ease of fire.
Ruth School Building
We find the Ruth school buildini
to be in good condition, except
lack of ventilation in two of tn
: rooms. The boys toilet is also II
I need of some minor improvements.
We find that the school buildin
r was built at the expense of the Ne
vada Consolidated Copper Company
and that the county has been to n
t expense so far as the buildings ar
concerned. That the Nevada Consol
s dated Copper Company has expend
ed during the first half Of the presen
school term. for teachers salar
about seven hundred dollars, and tina
!, the funds now in the treasury ar
not sufficient to complete the teri
r Of school. We, therefore, recon
mend that the county officials an
y the school officials use every rea,
enable means for necessary improve
ments and to maintain the schot
g to It's proper standard.
s Kimberly School Building
D We find that the Kimberly schoe
: building is in good condition. an
d that recommendations are unnecei
sary.
