!boar to the use of ether or other anesthesia has been studied. The follow-
ing corrective measures will be taken to provide maximum protection against
eexpleaesicnrss
(1) The louvers in the lower panel of the door of the
operating roam will be reesoved. the doors will be veeatberstripped to
prevent air from being drawn toward the furnace from underneath the door
at the flow level and an exhaust tan will be placed in the roar to provide
the vemoval at the ether from the race, as well as needed air circulation.
(2) The present light switches will be removed from inside

the terms at the contract and money is available.

and the inslaellat oa of trameaitteere alone !costs olrproximately $1544, not
considering the cost Of electrical connections between the buildings and
the Fire station. By installing such a system the Fire Station would
probably receive notice or the fire approximately me minute prior to
the notice received it called by teleph ne. in view of the presently
installed. sprinkler bell alarm outside each building; hourly guard chocks
and the fact that students are in the area coot of the time, the cost is
not offset by the advantages gained. his office, therefore, considers
the Installation too a sive for the extra protection afforded.
