Because the steam pipes leading from
the central heating plant to the build
ing at the Eldora industrial school have
been found to be full of holes, rusted
and decayed, members of the state
board of control are apprehensive lest
the severe frigidity may have caused
much suffering at the institution.
While temporary repairs have been
made so far as possible, the steam
heating apparatus is in deplorable
condition.
Judge Robinson stated that the board
has decided to ask the legislature for
an appropriation to pay for the con-
struction Of some 5000 feet of tun-
nels. The tunnels will connect the var
ious buildings and will be large enough
SO that 1t will be possible to observe
each steam pipe at any time. 1t Is es-
timated that about $4,000 will be
needed.
I'VE expect to make the tunnels
large enough for the boys to march
thru in stormy weather and after
night" said Judge Robinson. II believe
the legislature Will see the wisdom
of permitting us to carry out our
plans"
Senator C c. Dowell, Polk county,
completed the draft today of the state
insurance commission bill, which he
will introduce into the coming session.
The proposition of creating an in
surance commission was left over from
the last session as a matter upon
which there should be more: thought
and time. Several members of the
house and senate have been working
will probably be on hand for the con-
sideration of communities.

will have it's beginning, under the pro-
visions of the law, May /. 1909. At
that time, If the commission is created,
the state auditor will turn over all the
insurance business to this commits
sion.
The salary Of the commissioners, is
fixed at $500 and for the deputy at
$4,000. Another provision Of the bill
is that the executive council shall pro-
vida n11arfars for the commission.
