Raleigh, April 1»*.- -Governor Mc- Lean will recommend, "at the prop er time,' ithat suitable steps he taken to safeguard that part of the state hospital for the insane not de stroyed by tire last Saturday and patients housed in it, front the, he paid today. The Governor expects *n recom mend that the ••indistroyd section i f tile hospital In divided by "fire walls" into six or eight sections, these walls to extend through ;fce roof and thus prevent the fire fr- m crossing from one seit'on to am rh rr byway of the roof; ar.d second, the eovi r : 'c of the wooden parts of the building between the ceiling f the fourth story and the roof with stee] laths, covert-1 ir turn bv f merit. The new section to be erect ed promptly to replace that portion destroyed will be made fireproof. The governor has little faith, for such type of huildinir as the stats hosnital, in a sprinkler system, in stallation of which has been urirod ur>n various | i|-latilrij- bv the state insurance department. He has no criticism to make of the insur ance department, however, he add ed. It will be impossible to make provision in the tjndcjstroyed por tions of the building, the governot believes, until the new wine* is com pleted, as the remaining sections o1 the hospital are in use taking enre of the patients who previous to the fire -were housed in both winprs. "After all," said the governor "the reason the fire was not retard ed was lack of water pressure, noi lack of a sprinkler system."
