Book excerpt: Excerpt from Twentieth Report of the Board of Directors and Officers of the California Institution for the Education of the Deaf and Dumb, and the Blind, for the Twenty-Four Months Ending June 30, 1892 All the reasons given in my last report for an increase of the electric light plant have been verified and strengthened by our two years' experience. The convenience and comfort of this method of lighting have caused its introduction into nearly all the institutions of the country, and where steam power and engineers are required for other uses, it is certainly a measure of economy. I therefore recommend that an appropriation of be asked for, to carry out and complete this necessary improvement. The engine - house needs addition to its coal storage capacity, and also another boiler. The present engine-room is a part of the laundry building, which was erected twelve years ago, and is too small for the burden of work that has increased with the growth of the institution. We have only a single boiler with which to run the engines in the shop and laundry, and the dynamo, to do the cooking and heat the water for the refectory, the laundry and the baths; so that often work has to be suspended in this or that department because of insufficient steam for all purposes at one and the same time. If anything should happen to the single boiler we possess it would simply paralyze the whole institution, and it can thus be readily understood what anxiety and responsibility attach to our one steam' generator.
