New High School Building Notes.

The men from the Fuller Warren Co.,
who have been putting in the furnaces and
all the heating and ventilating of the build
ing, completed their work and went away
Friday.
In a test of the power of the heating
arrangements, made two OF the coolest
days last week, it was found that even with
the present damp walls Of the building, it
was easily possible to maintain tempera-
ture Of 80 degrees in every part Of the
great building, and all Of the seven fur
naces were not in use at any one time.
The contractors, and also Superintend-
ent of Construction Cannon, say the build
ing will be ready for the furniture in sea-
son so the committee can furnish it and
hold the last term of this years school in
it if desired This would be the term
commencing after Easter. 1t is doubtful,
however, if the committee will think it
best to do SO, but will probably wait until
next fall before 1t is occupied.
The plastering was all completed Satur-
day and the masons took their implements
out that day. 1t is an excellent job in
every respect.
Pending the entire drying out of the
moisture in the walls, and the arrival Of
some delayed supplies Of lumber, there
are but the three contractors at work this
week, and they are making short hours.
About one half the windows are in place
There are over 100 of them. The balance
weights for the windows are of the usua
iron pattern and aggregate weight O
about five tons of metal.
The electric light wires, as well as al
wires of the building, have been placed
inside the walls previous to the plastering
instead of running them outside as was a
4 one time expected would be done. The
wiring was done by the Fall Mountain
Paper company's men and it is mos
thorough and workmanlike job.
All the electric wires of all kinds are
centred in the partition walls behind th'
principals desk. From there he can RIM
bell in any room of the building, signal
ling the teachers at any point. There i
to be 14-Grop annunciator above his desl
SO the teachers in each of the II rooms cal
call him, and also the bells from the from
and side principal entrances have drops OF
the same, SO he will have all parts Of tn
building under his control.
The space to be covered by the slat
blackboards in the building aggregate
measurement of 2300 square feet.
The furnaces in the building are beinI
run thus tar with the large chunks of woo'
from the trees telled in the yard, and tn
supply is adequate to last long time, thu
saving the expense of coal.
