WASHINGTON, May 3.-In a report by experts to the house committee on ventilation and acoustics it is shown that 400,000 cubic feet of impure air comes up the main floor from the cellar every hour, and that the good air that is forced through to the main floor of the house passes through gratings that are practically cuspidors and receptacles for bits of paper and other cast off matter. Besides this the report shows that there are a large number of documents on the lower floor many of which are in a state of decay and the carpets of the house floor are saturated with filth and tobacco juice, and need cleaning.
The experts recommend as a remedy for this condition of affairs that air be pumped in from above the hall in stead of from below, as now.
