REPORT ON FIRE IN COLLEGE OF DENTISTRY BUILDING (35) The following report from the Supervising Architect on the fire in the Dentistry building: President David Kinley, 355 Administration Building Dear President Kinley: The fire in the Dental building was discovered about 3:30 a. m. on last Saturday, but evidently had been smouldering in a closed room for a considerable time prior to that. It seems to have started in an inside room used by the women janitors as a dressing room. I can make no surmise as to what the direct cause of thefirewas. Mr. Trees inspected the premises on Monday morning, and acting with him under the verbal authority which you had given me, we decided that the only thing to do was to put a dependable contractor on the job to put the building back in shape and that i would save cost and expedite time to have the same persons t assist us in estimating the fire loss. W e decided on Avery Brundage who has, at the present time, $15,000,000 worth of work under way in Chicago and who agreed that he would pull as many men as could be used from the different jobs in order to reconstruct the building in the briefest possible time. H e will work on a cost plus 1 0 % basis. Mr. R. V. Riordan, representing the insurance companies, reported at the building about three o'clock yesterday and gave us authority to enclose the building and clear out the rubbish. That is being done today. There are six glaziers at work and more to be added tomorrow. W e called in contractors representing all the different building trades and they have been working today estimating the cost of replacing the damage. Dean
