learn that the rating organization
had changed its method of classify­ing
fire-resistive school building^.

walls have steel supports able
to resist fire for at least four hours.
This would.be accomplished by
coating all tout- sides of tile exterior
columns with vermiculate plaster
and encasing tJhem in cement. Free-port
had alrea^iy planned.to coat
three sides of each 'girder in this
way, but now would be compelled
to cover the fourth'slde. Few school.?
in Nassau—and none lii Freeport
