School Office Is Called “Fire Trap” Terming the present antiquated offices of the superintendent of Orange county schools a fire-trap “and entirely unsatisfactory and inadequate for the proper exer cise of the functions of the" board (of education), the Grand Jury in its report to the Orange county superior court Tuesday afternoon recommended that any building program anticipated should take these matters “into consideration.” The Jury pointed out: “It houses the equipment and records of the county schools—the equipment worth many thousands of dollars, the records irreplacable—in a fire trap. In addition to being a fire trap, the building appears to be structurally unfit. The roof leaks in many areas and buckets are used in the offices to keep water off the desks of the employees. “The roof joists seem to be well rotted and ready to tumble the roof down upon the employees and equipment if any overload caused by reason of wind or rnow should be imposed upon the roof. It is recommended that any building program anticipated should take these . matters into consideration. In the meantime, temporary re pairs should be made to the roof to stop leaks and to safeguard against collapse.” AUTHORITY QUESTIONED Question of the authority and legality of a justice of peace try ing cases involving speeding, driv See (GRAND JURY) on Page 7 Breeze Resigns As Teacher-Coach Harry Breeze, English teacher and baseball and basketball coach in Hillsboro high school, has submitted his resignation, it was announced this week.
