These were checked by hand inspection to see if the ceiling material was loose enough to fall down Gannon said no indication of fur ther deterioration had been found m the ceilings “Basically, what we found,\ said Gannon, \was that everything was OK \ He recommended to the board of education that inspections be reduced in accordance with a similar recom mendation from an architect working on the project “The time would be better spent working on other projects around the school,\ said Gannon BRAVING Sunday's snow and cold, carollers were out bringing joy and the spirit of Chnstmas to friends and neighbors iPhiiln hy ( h u l k I w n This group, from Western Presbytenan Church, were seen on West Jackson Street
