Estimate 10 Be Given
This Week on School
Fire Safety Work

Estimates on the cost of bring
ing the Districts public schools
in line with the fire prevention
regulations will be submitted to
the Commissioners early this week,
Engineer Commissioner Gordon
r. Young said yesterday.
Gen. Young would not make any
estimate, but did say the cost
would represent large sum"
After the Commissioners have
approved the estimates, they will
be sent to the Board of Education
and will be released to the public,
Gen. Young added.
Last fall when the Board Of
Education was seeking an esti-
mate on the structural changes
necessary. School Superintendent
Hobart NJ. Corning said he felt it
would cost substantially more than
a 100 estimate previously made
on a partial inspection by the
Fire Marshall's Office.
S,IVU BUILDINGS CneCKe0.
The new egress regulations went
into effect January / and since
then teams of inspectors from the
Building Inspectors Office and the
Fire Department have been check
ing some $500 public buildings.
1t is estimated that 5000 build
ing violated the new laws in va
rious degrees.
School officials included in the
1949 budget an item for $4,000
to start the first part of program
to correct the known fire regula-
ton violations. This was asked
before the present inspections were
completed and it is known that
the complete check has revealed
a great many more violations.
School Work Given Priority.
Gen. Young said he regarded the
work for the schools as of first
priority" He said the estimates
sent to the Commissioners would
list the violations at each school
and recommend a priority list for
correcting the conditions.
The school inspection results
will be the first released to the
public since the new laws went
into effect.
A final hearing on the new reg
ulations will be held at 10 am.
May % at the District Building
Printers proofs of the code. which
has been revised a number of
times, will be distributed before
the hearing. Final publication will
depend on developments from the
hearing.
