Scope and Contents: Webster informs Spooner that it will cost $166.50 to build an addition to the chemical laboratory. Webster explains that the laboratory has become crowded with instruments, creating an unsafe environment. He further argues that the fumes and acid vapors concentrated in the existing laboratory make it "almost impossible to prevent the instruments from corrosion and decay" and that the initial expense of building a new addition would be recovered in a few years by not having to replace damaged...
