'According To-'
He Supervises University Repairs And Operations
The job of supervising all property repairs and operations and University functions custodial works is the chief duty of C. G. Bayles, superintendent of the department of building and grounds.
Mr. Bayles, who will complete his 30th year in June as superintendent works with the University Planning Office, which draws plans for new buildings and landscapes to be built on the campus under the direction of George M. Beal, professor of architecture, and Marvin Hall. Mr. Beal's assistant.
The department of buildings and grounds is divided into 16 different sections, each having its own crew working under one foreman. The men are organized into trade groups and as the work comes in, the foreman of the department concerned gives the orders.
Asked if there is room for improvement in the University's facilities for building and ground operations, Mr. Bayles said, "As a whole the facilities here at the University are better than any I've seen in the last 30 years. As for improvements, there is only a matter of funds. Right now there is a ten-year building program and that will be a tremendous advantage if and when completed."
Mr. Bayles said the water and sewer systems are in good condition and the steam heating distribution is excellent.
All of the departments work together to form a system in which each has its own goal. Included are the departments of the administration and telephone, carpenter, electricity, landscape, construction, painting, plumbing, steam fitter, auto mechanic, watchman, jailer, police and traffic, engineers, store room, and power plant.
The departments are well developed into skeleton organizations R. H. Wagstaff, assistant superintendent, is in charge of the foremen of each of the departments.
"The University has an adequate supply of labor saving equipment and laborers." Mr. Bayles said. "There are more than 220
