Table above gives the standard sizes of tents, showing the number 

 of occupants permitted in each tent. 



Figure 7 shows a 16 x 20 crowded tent occupied by 17 persons. This 

 tent contained double deck bunks, each occupant having about 120 

 cubic feet of air. This bad condition existed in one of the camps 

 before it was standardized by the Commission. 



Figure 8 shows a 10 x 26 triple deck bunk car, crowded with 19 

 persons, each having about 95 cubic feet of air. This also existed in 

 one of the camps before it was corrected by the Commission. 



Figure 9 shows a 16 x 20 tent with 5 single bunks, each occupant 

 having 500 cubic feet of air. This model arrangement is the result of 

 the Commission's work in changing the conditions shown in Figure 7. 



Figure 4 shows how a well may become polluted by the contents of a privy 

 vault. Figure 5 shows how a well located on high ground may be polluted by the 

 contents of a cesspool lower down. Figure 6 shows how a cesspool located on high 

 ground may fail to pollute a well lower down. 



6. The following is the law providing for bunks and beds: Statutes 

 of 1913, Chapter 182, Section 2. "Every bunk house, tent, or other 

 sleeping place used for the purpose of a lodging or sleeping apartment 

 in such a camp, shall contain sufficient air space to insure an adequate 

 supply of fresh air for each person occupying such bunk house, tent 

 or other sleeping place. The bunks or beds shall be so constructed as to 

 afford reasonable comfort to the persons occupying such bunks or 

 beds."
