This freezing took place during one of the cold spells at a time when the firing device went out of commission through lack O. attendance. Said that he had made changes in thermostat position. Said that the electric line being out of order at times caused a deal of in- convenience Said that although the firing mechanism was automatic, it called for a certain amount of at tention, and cited the city rules of Seattle relative thereto where it wasn't allowable to leave any of the steaming measures to run by them selves.
