| EJJ. from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 1209 Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}14/ML.9.6.40. In view of the fact that the Squash Court at Park Leys is a wooden building I think we ought to have something a little more adequate for fire fighting equipment than that which at present exists. This is as follows:- 1.Simplex No: 2. Fire Extinguisher. 1.Bucket filled with sand. NO shovel or scoop for same. Also we have reason to think that the extinguisher ought to be tested as this has not been done for some considerable time. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
