FIRE ESCAPE IN
lilllll] BflNfllTlflN
Secretary She er, of the
School. Boar . Comments
on Mrs. Leo Davis’ tSate-
ments ’
“’l‘hc fire-escapes at the Franklin
school were installed by competent
engineers who know lheir buSiness.
They have been used for several years
and I have not heard of any children
being hurt because of their condition.
In fact. this Is the first complaint I
have heard about the fire-escapes."
Tbs statement ‘was given out by
Dr. Henry C. Shercr this morning.
when he commented on the startling
statements made by Mrs. Leo Davis.
Chairman of the Women's Republi-
can Town committee. and wife of At-
torney Leo Davis. at the Third Dis-
trict caucus last night. when she de-
clared that the fire-escapes, at the
Franklin school were unsafe endang~
ering the lives of hundreds of pupils
in that school and also saying that
the sew-erase system at the Lincoln
school was in such a condition at
the health of the pupils In that
school was endangered. .
Continuing? Dr. Sherer‘ said.
“Everybody knows the situation at
the Lincoln school in regard to the
sanitation. It is no secret. We know
that on two or three occasions dur~
ing the year when there is a storm
and the wind and, tide are just right.
the water backs up and floods the
lavatories. It has been doing this
since the school was startedand I
have not heard of any epidemic of.
sickness among {be chfldren attend-
ing the school."
“It would cost between 35.000 and
510.000 to remedy this condition.
Either the floors of the buildings
would have to be raised or the lava-
tories removed outside."

It will be necessary to resort to this

the opinion of the Pomnihfimr. be-
cause the congested section of Mam

His plans call for an eight-tack.
double-deck line on the west side of
the city from the Battery to 155th
street running under Eighth anti Am-
sterdam avenues. Only four tracks
would bc constructed at first but
these would be so located that another
four-«track unit could be built under
or on top of it. «
Mr. Delaney also propooes the
building of another north and south
subway of four to six tracks under
Fifth and Madison Awnues. on the
east side..n.nd extending from the Bat-
tery to the Harlem River. Both these
arteries would have connections ex-
tending to the boroughs of the Bronx.

The Commissioner advocates the
construction of 4‘.’ now single-track
