Cause of Yesterday's Two Fires Discovered

False alarms in Claverly and Sever Halls yesterday were both traced to the same cause--an unheated flue in the Claverly incinerator.

According to Cecil A. Roberts, Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds, a new janitor in Claverly Hall neglected to heat up the flue well enough to insure the removal of the smoke. As a result the smoke backed up not only into Claverly itself, but also into the ventilating system of the network of steam tunnels which underlies all University buildings.
