 Councilman Stan Grummett brought lp the question of fire escapes at the Grade School. The Mayor reported that Fire Chief Minard MI and City Engineer J. L. MacNanara had recently inves- tigated the situation.

 Possible danger was pointed cut in the wooden walkway from the top floor of the Grade School building to Sixth Street, which could bcome impossible to stu dents aiN teachers if fire or explosionlwere to occur in the boiler roos, which is in the rear of the baAment and to one side of the wosen ramp
