General business conditions throughout

the situation is gratifying. The continu, Il
warm weather has been unfavorahlc for
retailing in general, particularly Tor those

contracts which require open weather. La

business in Burlington is active, manu-
flcturine establishments are busy, and tn
Wholesale business maintains its usual

temperature and business in these lines IS
curtailcd in consequence of the warm and
somewhat unreasonable weather, Collcc-
tons fair to good. There seems TO ba
somewhat of a falling off in orders for
granite work at Barre. This is usual at
this time of year as orders for spring
work do not come in largely until faw
weeks later; but on the whole business is
good and manufacturing concerns arr
busy; retail trade fair and collections IS

NEW ADAMS SCHOOL.
WIN be Fine Addition to Educational
Buildings OF the City.

Work on the new Adams school is pro-
crossing favorably and within a couple
OF weeks the roof will Oe in place. Enough
Of the structure is now complete to give
q general IDEA Of its beauties of architcc-
turc ana IL can be seen that the building
will be a great addition to the public
school system of the city. The building
occupies the site of the old Adams school
but is much larger and more complete in
its details. 1t has a frontage of 1872 feet
and extends back jGie feet, 1t is two sto-
lics high and affords eight largo well
lighted class rooms and two recitation
rooms. aside from teachers rooms, cloak
rooms, spacious corridors and closets
When completed the building will accom-
lnodate about i75 children. 1t is SO COM
structed that a wing can be built at the
rear without marrng the architectural
design.
Thetwo floors are practically alike in their
appointments, with the exception of the
recitation room on the second floor which
Is larger. There are two vcstibule entranc-
es at the front of the building ana two
vide exits at the rear Two broad stair
ways are provided, which are so ARRANGED
that in case of fire pupils would have no
trouble in escaping from any of the rooms
Every wall in the building is of solid lrl k
which places the danger of fire at a min
imum. Great attention is being paid ia
ventilation. There are hot and cold air
shafts in every room ant the scheme
adopted is as near perfect as can be found
The rooms will be heated by steam and
lighted by electricity. In the Easements
are the lavatories boilers and storag-
rooms, Two sets of boilers will be I'm.
stalled, one for use in mild weather and
the other for operation during the severe
months.
