All the principal methods Of steam heat
ing are used. Direct radiation is found
in the corridors, indirect in the offices
and combinations and variations In other
parts Of the building. To begin with.
every cubic foot of air which enters the
building is thoroughly washed This is
a novelty in this part of the. country. The.
air enters a huge box or tank, where It
passes over a body of water which is,

Of Minneapolis. After passing through
a drying process, the air goes to a. cham
ber, where it passes through great coils
of steam pipes and thence into the ducts
leading to the various offices. 1t thus

but not superheated. A. system of cleo

temperature of the air.
AS the air is forced into the offices un-

alton.
Detailed Description of the
Building and Its
Equipment.

Suitability was the first consideration
in the planning of the new building for
the Minneapolis Chamber Of Commerce.
And this means not only adaptation to the
peculiar daily business needs Of a great
body of men engaged in the buying and
selling Of wheat and grain products. but
also attention to the fitness Of things In
every part Of the building, external and
internal.
For instance, II any one should feel
disappointed In the almost severely simple
style of architecture and the quiet color
ing Of the building, it should be remem-
bered that the structure is designed as
the home Of that most prosaic of occu-
pations. the buying and selling of bread
stuffs. Here the lighter styles of arch
ttecture would be out Of place, and every
The Minneapolis journal., 1903-03-30

thing should suggest the substantial and
solid character Of the business housed.
Again it should be called to mind that the
chamber stands in the center Of a great
city and under the constant cloud of
smoke issuing from the chimneys Of the
flour mills and other manufacturing es-
tablfshments. The color Of It's walls Is
calculated to receive no injury but to be
rather improved through the action Of the
elements.
Again, the superficial observer, who
at first glance denominates the building as
"plain." will find upon more careful study
that its lines are beautiful, its proportions
unassailable, It's detail highly attractive
I'm fact that it Is architecturally con-
stantly increasing pleasure. The more it
; Is studied the more its dignity, fitness and
congruity impresses the intelligent critic.

Fourth avenue s and the latter on Fourth
street S. It Is ten stories in height except
the part occupied by the trading room.
Here considerable space is left to pro-
vide light. The external walls are Of gray
speckled Norman brick Of the finest grade
made. These brick walls are slightly or
namented with terra Gotta work in al
most the same color. But the ornamen-
tation is very simple. It serves to relieve
the plainness Of the walls by the intro
duction of relief work about the windows
and doorways but the designs are SO un-
obtrusive that they are not discernible
at a great distance, but blend naturally
with the general color effect
No attempt was made to introduce ar

The Financing ef the Enterprise.
When the Chamber of Corrnerce faced
the proposal for new building it was
with the record OF the small, original
building well managed and paid for. For
some years the chamber had been free
from debt and the building was earning
enough to pay all expenses except for a
nominal assessment. Under the circum-
stances there was no difficulty in bonding
the new proposition. to-. the extent of
$400, 900. Later an additional loan of 5000,
600 was secured and to meet this q spec
ial assessment OF $50 a year for five years
was voted. The remainder OF the money
needed to complete the building and re-
model the old one was voted by addi-
tional assessment. This leaves the Cham
Der OF COEnrnerce% with bonded debt of
$400, ,D00
It is estimated by the officers that The
income from all sources win be sufficien,
to meet $4,000 worth of bonds each year
pay interest, and at The same time have
a surplus for the sinking fund OF $ae,0Ht
or more. Under the circumstances It may
be inferred THAT the chamber will be en-
tireay free Yrom debt within ten years.
Since the new building was undertaken
every FOOT OF space has been let In both
the new and old structures, Including the
space used In the ord bnfldinB by the
