The third floor is not used. There is a fire escape on the north side and the south side of the building; both fire' escapes are in good condition. • I submit the following recommendations that should be made befdre the second floor is used for a place of public gathering: Exit lights should be placed over doors lead- ing 'to fire escapes, 4 fire extinguishers should be purchased placOng one at top of stairway on second floor, the other I/ three should be placed in room of public gathering on second floor. All exit doors should be eglipped with panic locks. The old way of heating by stoves should be eliminated and 'install steam radiation -heat at a central point. The Balcony on second floor should be eliminated. The 'Basement should be cleaned up and kept clean. However I found upon -this inspection that all doors swing outward according to the State Law. • Mr. Hayes, after the above recommendations are carried out this building will be in excellent shape. • Respectfully submitted, Aubrey J.
