There are four stairways leading up to the top from the bottom of the building, with landings on each floor, and the arrangements are such that if one of them should be closed in case of fire, the students may pass out by the other three without any material disadvantage. The students are so drilled that within three minutes after the sounding of the fire alarm they can all be out of the building. The manner of suppressing fire in the building consists of two rubber hose on each floor long enough to reach to every part of the different rooms on that floor, and conveying water from two large tanks in the top of the building, each tank, having a capacity of 600 barrels. The water is supplied to these tanks by a force pump, operated by steam, from a well 100 feet in depth which furnishes an inexhaustible supply of water. Seventh. Sanitary conditions of the college excellent. Eighth. After examining the buildings thoroughly, we find the roof of the college building in bad repair. The slate in the roof is broken, and the long gutters and valleys leak in many places. The amount of water coming in on account of this condition of the roof is constantly damaging the plastering in the upper story of the building, besides doing great injury other ways. Your committee of the Twenty-second General Assembly would beg leave to call your attention to this particular subject in an especial manner, presuming to state that a sufficient outlay by the State for replacing the said roof would be a wise and economical expenditure. And we further call the attention of the members of the Twenty-second General Assembly to the report of R. S. Finkbine, and his detailed statement in connection therewith, as additional evidence of the needs in this direction and the necessity of making appropriations to meet the same. We also find the woodwork in the front portico and steps out of repair, and some of the out buildings, belonging to the institution, not in the position or condition necessary in a college for the blind. We therefore recommend for the best interest of the State that the building should be re-roofed, the front portico and steps be properly repaired, and that other buildings be put in a location and condition • suitable for the accommodation of the blind belonging to the institution. All of the above your committe beg leave to respectfully submit. W. D. MILLS. H. L. BYERS. |
