HIGH SCHOOL IMPROVEMENTS.
Various Changes Made Saving in FIX
pense and Enhanced Beauty of
Grounds.

The work OF grading the Edmunds High
School grounds Is completed and the grass
has already commenced &c spring up. the
committee on school houses and school
property was authorized by unanimous
vote of the school board to change the
grading as provided by the old plan ana
TO lay out sweeping walks eliminating all
steps from the grounds.
The work has been completed under the
plan submitted, all of the bills are in and
n saving is shown of more than 5000 over
the estimated cost of carrying out the ola
plan with the granite steps In front. Inc
steps on the north and south ends of the
building were invisible as the grounds were
first laid out but now they can be seen
from South Union street and the appear
ance of the building is improved In many
other respects. There are also now about
900 lineal feet of walk 10 feet wide on
which the pupils can promenade, whereas,
under tho old plan this was not provided.
In the drainage of the grounds II was es-
timatod that $50 feet of blind drain would
be sufficient to cut off the water from en-
tCrng the building but 1t was found neces-
sary to extend this $50 feet more and 1t Is
now expected that the basement will be
free from dampncss.
II Is contemplated to open the street that
is included In the Edmunds property lead
ing from Maple street to the residence,
thus making the high school building more
easily accessible from that section of the

Dear Sir: There was n time when it

Now zinc has come in, lead and oil must
give way-it Is too short-liVed.
There arc two ways to use zinc; you
can mix it in with lead in tub, or buy
Dcvoe lead and zinc, which is ground to-
gcther by machnerey.
If you mix your own lead and zinc. YOU
gain something; II you buy Devoc YOU
