BONDS FOR BETTER SCHOOL FACILITIES
Adjourned District seiing Votes ;l5s00 te lnStsll
Steam Heating and vsntiia,ing Plant in
Buildings.

That Viroqua will have most COM
plete system of heating and ventilation
in its three school buildings is now as
sured The adjourned meeting of Mon
day night settled the question by voting
to bond the district for Sl3, 500 to be
used for that purpose. The board of
education reported that they had bids
from ten different firms with numerous
schemes and plans for the service. The
greatest range of difference on prices
for the work was four thousand dollars
between the highest and lowest bidders.
1t was apparent from expression that
the tax payers present desired nothing
short OF the best and most perfect sys-
tenn possible to attain. The funds
necessary for such plant were readily
voted in four aud one-half percent bonds,
interest and one hundred dollars on the
principal falling due annually for first
ten years The recorded vote on the
appropriation was 80 for and 8 against.
The plans for the new steam heating
system contelnplates power house Box
A feet in size. situated to provide heat
for the three big buildings. 1t is to be
of brick with S5-foot stack of same ma
teriaL 1t is known as the automatic
heat regulator system, is pronounced
altogether the best scheme of heating
and ventilation for public buildings
where Jonng life is being trained. It
embraces both the direct and fan appar-
atus, the automatic feature regulating
heat at a desired point. This will re-
move very much Of the detrimental con-
ditions which have always existed in
the pr rsssnt buildings
The board of education will make
strenuous efforts to have the new plant
installed and ready for use with the
beginning of the new year.
