HEAT FOR The HILL
Residents There Ca11vassing. the Idea
of a Central Heating
Plant.
The Plan Is in Successful Operation
Elsewhere and Meets Pop
ular Approval

Lowry Hill residents are figuring on a
central steam heating plant for that resi-
dence district. a, meeting will be held
soon, when engineers estimates as to
the cost of such a. plant and the manner
and extent of the radiating system of
pipes, may be submitted. 5.;.Es. {.
Jesse e. Northrup became impressed
with the idea through the favorable ex-
periences OF a friend at Menominee, Mich,
where such a system is in satisfactory use
On a recent trip east Mr.. Northrup con-
tinued his Investigations and was struck
with the possibility of such a system as
is used at Oak Park, ILL.,; OttumWa, Iowa
and Missoula, Mont, fori the Hill. The
matter was taken up with other residents
who looked with much favor on the move
to abolish the furnace in favor of com
munity of interest heating.
A central steam plant ready for connec-
ton at each lot front. will cost from $780,
900 to $4,000 Economy and elimination
of the disadvantages which go with the
operation of separate furnace for each
house are the prime benefits expected
Connection with the system will be mex
pensive and will require no tearing up OF
the house.. Most of the Lowry Hill resi-
dencss have combination heaters which
can be used without change. Even the
hot water radiators will take the steam
and those who wish to continue the hot
water system can heat a water coil with
steam from the central plant. m
The plan which Is still in embryo sug-
gests a battery of boilers with room fol
additional capacity in case service rs de-
manded by residents on RidgeWood

THEY WANT A PAVILION
Linden Hills Folk Favor Rebuilding
Burned Structure at Harriet.>

Alderman Schoonmaker Of the thirteenth
ward, acting as spokesman for Linden
Hills residents at a meeting last night
at Berrys hall, said there was no oppo-
sition to the rebuilding of the pavilion
at Lake Harriet. He reminded his hear
ers that if the pavilion was not rebuilt
the moral tone Of Lake Harriet might take
a slump. The absence of"a large pavilion
at Minnehaha was the direct cause Of the
disreputable places which had existed al
that resort.
The alderman announced that he ha6
secured better fire protection for the Ear-
riet district by the removal of the fire
station from Lyndale avenue and Forty

George A. Gage, representing the
American Barrel and Package corpora

making an effort to interest local flour
barrel shops in scheme involving their
consolidation, says the Northwestern Mil
Ter. Not all of the shops were con-
ferred with. Just what Mr.. Cages pro-
position was has not been disclosed, but
The Miller says it no doubt involved the
usual feature of consolidation schemes-a
large price for the individual business and
the use of the acquired property in float
ing large capital stock.
The companies approached are quite re-
ticent about the matter and decline to
give any particulars.
The American company is reputed to
have liberal capital at it's command.
