Through the kindness of Copley Amory,
a large stone watering-troug for the pub

south driveway to his residence at the

The repairs on the high school building
are now completed and from an extended
account of the same in the Keene Sentinel
of August 9th we make brief summary ::
The building has received two coats of
paint, and has new finish in hard pine, IN
main room, ante-rooms, and basement.
The ceilings are painted pale green with
a border OF darker shade, and the new
plastering throughout is tinted in the same
colors. New floors, new modern seats,
new windows with blinds and new stair
finish have also been put in. The base
ment is cemented, and windows enlarged
and the gymnasium apparatus is placed
there for the use of the pupils, 1t con-
tains also heating system consisting OF
two Fuller g. Warren furnaces with Cir
culating system. This basement is entered
| from the hallway, and new stone bulk
head has been built at the rear end. The
tower has been repaired thoroughly and
| concrete cutters placed around the build
ing. The cost hes exceeded the sum first
named for such repairs, but owing to the
use of certain special appropriations, all
is provided for as authorised by law.
The building is now credit to the town,
thanks to the practical efficiency of our
school-board, whose excellent management
and careful forethought, supplemented by
sparing neither time nor trouble, has
brought about this much-to-be- desired
result.
