its occupants.
Mr. S. A. Lay ton, an expert
along the lines of architecture,
was also called to look into
conditions. His report also con-
demned the building, declaring it
unsafe.
On account of the conditions
pointed out by these experts, it
may also be added that a great
number of cables are aiding in the
holding of the building together
There are 250 pupils on the third
floor who must get out of the
building by means of the one stair-
way, in case of casualties of any
kind.
