CONDEMN CHICAGO
SCHOOLSAS UNSAFE
Engineers Watch 13 Other
Buildings Recently Con-
StruCted as Probe Is Asked.
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, May 1.-Two grade
school buildings, built less than hve
years ago at a cost of approximately
$500, 900 each, have been ordered closed
following statements Of engineers that
they were unsafe for occupancy.
H. Wallace Caldwell, president of the
Board of Education, urged States At
torney John A. Swanson to make an
investigation into circumstances sur
rounding the schools construction.
Thirteen other schools Of the same
type were regarded by the engineers as
safe for the present, but will be kept
under close scrutiny to prevent fur
Their deterioration. Nineteen others
were considered safe, but were said to
chow faults In almost every branch OF
construction.
Many Faults Shown.
The condemned schools, the engineers
said, showed faulty design, poor ma
terials, poor workmanship and neglect
Of specifications.
Both were of reinforced concrete con-
struction Caldwell said a piece of
cement taken from the wall OF one
building crumbled to dust in his hand.
The schools were built while William
z. Dever was mayor and while Charles
Moderwell was president of the Board OF
Education: William K. Fellows and, lat
er, Theophilus Schmidt was chairman
of the building and grounds committee
of the board, and John G. Christensen
was school architect, although Edgar S.
Smith was employed as supervising
architect. Caldwell said he would de-
mand that it be definitely established
who designed and built the buildings
and that those guilty be prosecuted.
Records Are Asked.
Immediately after receiving Caldwell's
request for an investigation, Swanson
asked for all construction records OF the
board covering the schools. He stated
he would commence the inquiry at
once.
Approximately 400 pupils will be af-
fected by the closing of the schools. The
orders were issued too late to be given
