FIRE HAZARDS IN CHEMISTRY BUILDING (10) A report of the fire hazards existing in the old part of the Chemistry Laboratory Building due to the type of construction. T h e west end of this building was constructed in 1902 and is practically entirely of wood. The wooden roof trusses on the fourth floor are carried through the ducts of the hoods which must be used in heating materials which give off poisonous gases, so that as a precautionary measure it will be necessary to put a night watchman on duty.
