Declared unsafe and dangerous
The News-Sentinel, March. 21, 1936
Inspectors from the State Fire Marshalls office recently made a
tour of inspection of the three school buildings in Henry township, the
result being that the Grade school building in Akron was declared
unsafe and dangerous.
The Fire Marshall was emphatic in his belief that Akron citizens
should take steps immediately to house the students in a different
building. Until that building can be secured, however, the inspector has
written that certain improvements must be made on the present
building. He found the Akron High School building and the building at
Athens in good condition.
