The shades made of the brown fungus-proof cloth, which 
were placed in houses Nos. 9, 10 and 12 in 1902, proved so 
satisfactory that similar shades were installed in the past year 
in houses Nos. 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 11, 14 and 15. These have 
proved equally satisfactory. They are simple in construction 
and hence easily repaired by the men, and their cost little 
exceeds that of a single painting of the glass, the method 
previously adopted to-secure the necessary shade. It is be- 
lieved that the problem of shading has been satisfactorily 
solved.
