"For some considerable time the School Board has been concerned in reference to the condition of the four city schools, especially in reference to the sufficiency of fire escape installations, and the sufficiency of classroom lighting. “Recently a ‘egatlon repre- senting an ‘zed group of parents waited upon the Board and mac's representations in reference to these particular matters. Some considerable time ago, the Board caused an investigation to be made, by the best available ex- perts. of the existing fire escape installations, and quite recently has authorised a further survey in reference to this matter. Recently also. a survey was made in refer- ence to the sufficiency of class- room lighting.

"In reference to both these mat- ters, the Board enlisted the assis- tance snd sought the advice of the most competent experts available locally, and have received their written reports.
