The Board of Education
We. your committee on Building To
WLnm was submitted the PROPOSE, of
The r.. and r. Manufacturing Conn any
t. furnish eVaCHatOrS to. equip all
school buildings for the sum of H.
$500. have examined the same md
herewith submit the following re ort
.ahd COMMUNICATION
l. We find that six Of the CHIT
school buildings are of the fire resist
ell type of construction with wide. and
numerous StairwayS built of metal and
terraZO materials which make 1 em
safe exits. even if only part of the
number of >tairWayS are used mt my
lime. The exits are equipped with AN
il bolts and locks which keep all ,Or$
free swinging without the neceSSit of
di>, nga ging locks during any pt Tod
of occupancy, thus avoiding any inns
at exits due To panic or failur of
doors To open. That while two b lid
ing>. the Lincoln and the J. Il. ,rd.
are older structures and have w0 den
>IairwayS the width and humble of
exits with fire escapes at the rp;i of
the Lincoln. make these buildings .afe
III terms Of state and local code re-
qlrementS.
>. We further find that the ans
and construction of these buile hgS
were approved by. the State and lily
departments aS well az the Mich gan
Inspection Bureau and that they leet
the highest standards of require III &ni :
for safety in school buildings. chat
they also meet and exceed the vaIeOuS
National recommended standards for
the construction of school buildings
especially with regard To width of ssOr-
ridOrS. StairwayS and exits.
3. That the safety of these Struc-
lures and the various types of S56ety
equipment in use such aS exiting. iSh-
er, hose. sand. and sprinkler systems
has been recognized by the miniPlum
rate Of insurance set by the Mich gan
Inspection Bureau Oh the fire re Nist-
ant buildings.
1. That regular fire drills are Held
as required by law and that the AJAX
imum amount of time to empty sHnI
building of occupants varies fr0e Il
maximum Of 3 minutes in the La Jest
building TO one minute in Sm, Her
buildings.
y. That there is adequate sup 'rvi-
sion Of all buildings during hOuI of
occupancy.
4. That the time required to get a
sufficient number of students or ether
help out of the buildings TO hOp or
faSten down the evacuatOrs wOul be
far in excess of the time now req sired
tC empty the buildings of all -lpil>
through the normal means Of exit
Ia view of these conditions the som
mittee believes that the expenditufe Of
such a sum of money at. this line
would be unwise, and that the pro- lsed
use of evacuatOrs would not add ma
terially TO the present safety | owl
siOns of the buildings. We ther fore
recommend that the personnel con niue
To exercise the utmost vigilance With
regard to fire hazards especial III
war time and that any further G pen
ditures for safety be restricted t per
fecting and extending. where l ces-
Sary. the equipment and safety ap-
plianceS now in use.
