The first appropriation for their correction was made April 22, year—#$250,000. To correct all of them would cost at least 1,000, the event of loss of life because of neglect of these notices blame would fall first on the Board of Estimate for refusing to appro- priate the money repeatedly asked by the Superintendent of School Buildings for the purpose, and secondly on the Board of Education for failing to use the money which has been made available. Records of fifty firts due to neglect of the Fire Department warn- irss were offered to the committee; they were taken from the files of School Building Superintendent Snyder. Violations were described including stairways not properly pro- tected: ceilings of boiler rooms not protected; wooden instead of seli-vlosing fireproof doors along exit stairways; lack of hand fire entinzuishers; storage ‘of inflammable materials in cellars and storage of dangerous chemicals in exposed wooden closets, this 8 +n Administration Hy! year, He did not until Mother Killed as She Throws 250,00 re sh. < | $250,000 then’ Children to Safety—Driver | April ¢ much of the know how ited had been spent or was aps panned to be spent.
