Building.
Special to Times Republican.
Grinnell. April Work has begun
again on the new high school building
and will be pushed until the building
is completed and ready to be occupied
at the opening of the fail term. II
was thought some time ago that part
of the wall laid In the early winter
of the upheaaval by the frost, but a
careful inspection at the present time
shows everything in good shape for
continuing the work. The building is
already up to the second story. AS the
contract has just been let for the
plumbing ana heating, the trouble, loss
Of time and sickness. arising from q
lack of proper heat from the central
plant in the past year, will be avoided
in the future.
S. S. Partlow. who has been in part
nership for the past six weeks with FL,
G. Wire in the manufacture, wholesal-
ing and retailing OF candies and con-
fectionery. has bought ont the retail
kitchen and restaurant at the old
stand on Fourth avenue. lMr. Wire has
moved into the upper story of the
Anes building on Main street. where
he will continue to manufacture and
wholesale as heretofore His rooms
are convenient and comrnodious and
the demand for his products is practi-
cally unlimited.
The new cement building block fac
tory has already begun to manufac-
ture its specially SO that the public
may begin to get an idea of what the
finished product will be. The machin-
cry is not all here yet, and only part
OF the working force is busy. But
material is ON hand and work will go
on as rapidly as possible, as there are
parties waiting for the output of the
factory to commence their buildings.
The blocks come from the compressers
In any desired size, shape and color,
and seem to form an ieeal building
material in appearance N the struc-
ture and In convenience and durability.
Grant Inman will begin the erection
Of his new story story planning mill as
soon as he can get the desired mate
rial. The building will be 3SxS0 feet,
with an addition on the east side for a
boiler room. 1t will stand OH the
ground now occupied by the old wood
en- building next to the water tower.
The tearing down and removing of the
old building and the waiting for the
construction of the new one VIII use
up much valuable time for Mr.. Inman,
hut he has so far found it impossible
to get any other suitable location, and
SO is Obliged to take this course and
suffer the loss. The new building is to
be made of the new cement building
blocks manufactured here, and will be
an ornament to the town as well as a
solid structure with ample room In the
two stories for Mr.. Inrlans growing
business.
Mr. and Mrs. F. NJ. TAYLOR, who have
been visiting old-time friends here for
some weeks, went to Chicago this morn
ing and expect to go from there to
their home in Seattle.
In the matter of the petition for the
relocation of the count.y seat it was
decided, after carefully looking up the
law, that IL would be perfectly safe to
file the petition today. AS this gives
chance for a few mora names to be
added. It was accordingly held over
until this afternoon. There is conf
dent feeling among those who have
been working for the change that the
petition can not fail to lring the ques-
ZION before the people for a vote in
November.
