An explanation of the cause Of the
collapse Of thezhoor Of one of the class
rooms at the new Elizabeth street
schoolhouse last. Friday night has been
sent to The Bulletin by the George Rose
Engineering Co. of New York, the gen
eral contractors,
The letter from the company follows:
I'VE note. that your articles published
the other day regarding the little acci-
dent We had on the new Elizabeth street
school caused considerable disturbance
and CONSERVATION among some Of the
people of Norwich. because many seem
to have a wrong impression of just what
happened. Some even went so far as to
think that the entire building, or all the
floors in the building, had collapsed. In
order to. offset such wrong impressions,
We kindly ask you to publish the follow
ing which Is the exact truth Of the sit
nation:
Owing to extreme weather conditions,
a concrete floor slab in. one Of the rooms
of the new Elizabeth street school build
ing fell down, the frost having touched
some of theN concrete that was immedi-
ately adjacent to the exterior wall,
where it was impossible to protect same
from the extreme cold weather; in spite
of the fact that all concrete was thor
oughly heated while being made and
poured into place, also thoroughly pro-
teeted with warm hay and salamanders,
which was kept burning day and night
This, OF course, was done in order to
prevent the concrete from freezing, long
! enough to allow It to have its initial set
after which time any danger should
have passed.
In order to expedite the work of con-
struction and make the rooms ready for
