Erected, Each Building Cost
ing the sum Of Fifteen
Hundred Dollars.

The building committee OF the
board of trustees of the Industrial
Institute and College met in the Of
fee of President Whitfield last We'd
nesday for the purpose of awarding
the contract for the gymnasium and
library which are to be erected at
the college. The building committee
consists Of DR.. j. g. Gathings of Prai-
RE, DR.. J.. E. Noble CT Jackson. Hon.
5. B. Dobbs Of Alderman, and Hon.
Walter Weaver of this city, all OF
whom We're present at the meeting.
The committee. met at $3.50 o'clock
p. n, and the entire afternoon was
spent in going over the bids and in
specting the plans, Architect Hunt,
OF Chattanooga, who prepared the
plans for the buildings, having been
present at the meeting. After a care
ful review Of the matter, the commit
tee awarded the contract for both
the gymnasium and the library TO
Mr. D. S. McClanahan of this city.
The buildings will cost So, 600 each,
and the contractor expects to have
them finished by the fifteenth of No
vember. The contract assumed by
Mr.. McClanahan does not require him
to fully complete the library. The
amount appropriated by the legisla-
ture for this purpose is not large
enough to provide building COM
mensurate with the requirements of
the college, and the building to be
erected will be little more than a
shell, it being the intention of the
trustees to complete the structure as
soon as an additional appropriation
can be secured.
The legislature, at its recent ses-
sion, also made provision for a tank,
and the contract for this structure,
which is to cost three thousand dol
lars. was awarded TO a Chatte Ro0ga
firm several weeks ago.
