Respectfully referred to Sup't. of Education for information as to whether the reference underscored within is not the main hall of the building and if so whether it would not be better to have two drop burners, rather than the proposed arrangement.

I do not think that any change in the request as made by Mr. [[underlined]] Nichols [[/underlined]] is desirable. The Halls are not well fitted for drop burners.
