to provide adequate illumination
for the stair treads. This is
particularly important in view of
the lack of color differentiation

(1) Standard handrails should be in-
stalled on both sides of the stair-
way leading from the third floor
hall to the Sun Parlor.
(2) The existing installation of the
brass nosing strips and rubber
matting treads does not provide a
safisfactory, safe walkway surface.
The smoothness of the brass nosing
strips and the joint between the
nosing strips and the rubber matting
provides a tripping hazard. It
would be desirable to remove these
materials and install abrasive metal
stair treads. Since there is no
further necessity for the rubber
matting on the landing from the
stairs to the level of the Sun
Parlor floor it would be desirable
to remove this material and ex-
tend the linoleum floor covering
from the Sun Parlor to cover this
area.
(3) The wooden ramp on the outside of
the north door of the Sun Parlor
should be repaired SO that it will
be more secure.
(5) Roof
(a) The present method of access to the flag
pole, located above the North Portico,
consists of an open stairway with wooden
treads leading from the Promenade Deck to
the Roof. A wooden slat catwalk extends
over the roof from the head of this stair-
way to the platform at the foot of the
flag pole. The present installation is
not considered satisfactory for use dur-
ing that season of the year when ice and
