To the Inhabitants of the Town of Brighton:


The school houses are in practically the same condition as when inspected one year ago. Fire escapes have been placed on the "Foss Building" on Cross street and the Mansur Dan building on Cross street, the Mosseau building on Pherring street. The only parties who have not complied with the fire escape law are the owners of the Bartlett block on Main street.
