As
a
result
of
discussions
at

last

It
developed
that
the
fire

at

were
unsafe
and
it
was
decided
to
have
them
repaired
immediately,
the
matter

in

of
the

committee,
Trustees

and

for
quick
action.
The
chairman.
Mrs.
Spencer,
sug
gested
calling
for
tenders
but
It
was
pointed
out
by
Trustee
Greer
that
this
could
not
well
be
done
as
it
was
impossible
to
tell
what
was
needed
until
the
repair
work
commenced.
Trustee
G
tills
agreed
with
this
and
said
that
he
and
Trustee
Greer
when
giving
their
services
on
the
rebuilding
of
the
tennis
court
had
Investigated
the
fire
escapes
and
found
them
In

They
objected
to
a
proposal
emanating
from
Principal
Hartness
that
It
be
fixed
up
temporarily
until
the
holidays
when
it
could
be
rebuilt.
The
work
should
be
d6ne
at
once
and
the
best
method
was
to
put
a
man
on

Job
and
let
him
do
It.
There
were
some
sharp
passages
between
the

and

over

was
