Engineering Building at the University
to Be Enlerg I'D.

a much-needed addition Is to be made
this summer to the building used by the
engineering department at the University

faculty and now plans have been drawn by
which it is proposed to remodel the forge
and foundry rooms into one large room IN
which 20 new FORCES will be installed. Tho
new FORCES will be more modern than tho
old natural draft affairs. The new ones
will be the down draft variety, that is, thu
smoke will be drawn from the FORCES be-
meath the floor by means-of a huge fan and
then blown to the chimney, thus doine;
away with all overhead piping.
A new building will be constructed for
the foundry. 1t will be located at the north
end of the shop and will be 30 by As feet in
size. The new quarters will be in readiness
