Charges that many public schools here employ janitors who have little or virtually no knowledge of the care and operation of heating plants were made yesterday by Snowden Ashford, municipal architect. ciency, he sald, has resulted in dam- age to the school heating appara which will cost hundreds of dolla; to repair. “Out of the 200 school janitors” said Mr. Ashford, “I know of only six who are fully competent to handle the heating plants. My attention was called today to the condition of a fur- nace at one of the schools which would not function properly. Inves- tigation showed that the grate had been broken, and the janitor had tried to keep a fire in the furnace by banking ashes under the grate to pre- vent it from falling. the furnace was badly damaged.” Mr. Ashford pointed out that the repairs on school buildings for the second half of the fiscal year, accord- ing to requisitions from the board of | education, amount to $387,000, while there is only a balance in the appro- | priation of $65,000 for this purpose. A large portion of the remaining $65.000, he indicated, will have to be expended to put the lfnnl:es in a number of school proper condition. ARE MARRIED FIFTY YEARS.
