cloSdu IN flre-prOOf partitions, so
THAT a fire cannot find its way
IRON one floor to another. But
although there will be nothing
IN the building to burn, the
greatest precaution will be
taken that no cornbustib1e mate
rial is brought into the building.
This measure lis considered Of m
'estfrnable value as bearing upon
the patients, for they will have
no cause for fear or anxiety.
Electric Wiring.
The electric wiring for lighting
the building is an interesting
part OF THE furnishing work.
There are $4,000 feet of electric
pipe, and this is laid hight in the
cement as each floor is finished.
As the wiring is embedded in
THE stone and cement MIXED and
is buried out of sight, there cam
be no danger of an accident.
A telephone system is also be-
ing out in, with capacity of
fifteen phones.
Pilot Sight System of Calling.
A new and wholly modern sys-
tenn for service calls, not con-
templated in tlls. first contract
but installed later, is THE Pilot
Light Enumeration system. 1t
does away with the call bell,
wherein mistaken calls or false
calls are sounded and obviates
any noise that might disturb a
patient. The patient that wants
an attendant simply presses
button and instantly the space
about has room is lighted, but
not in it. The hall way leading
to his room and also the asten-
dant's room, are at the same in
stant lighted. The attendant is
appraised OF the call by the light
in his room and he follows the
light that leads to the patients
room. While the patient can of
himself turn the light ON, he can
not turn 1T off; the attendant on
ly can do that. The wiring will
be the electric grounded conduit
system, and is being installed by
flie Hatfield Eletric company of
Indianapolis. Mr.. NJ. Conover of
Indianapolis is tare installer and
he is putting in between 10000
and 10000 feet of electric light
piping. This with the other wir-
ing and piping, makes each floor
close net work of pipes and
wires, so that one can scarcely
walk on the floors without step
ping upon them. Mr.. Cbnover,
installer for the Indianapolis
firm, is young man of talent in
his special line of business. He
recently spent three months in
stalling this system in Purdue
University.
Plumbing.
The plumbing is being done
by lWallace Bnos., of Lafayette.
The fixtures will be furnished by
the Wolf Manufacturing COM
pany of Chicago. There will
be six bath tubs, one sink
fifteen lavatories, four urinals
and sixteen waiter closets. The
lavatories, tubs and sink will be
porcelain iron enameled. All
trimmings will be nickel plated
all fixtures will have hot and
cold soft water, except water
closets, which viii have city
water only.
.AIll the plumbing will be hung
on the ceiling, none OF 1t under
the floors. all will be acoessi-
bic ait any time, SO that in case
of any stoppage or leaks they
can be got at without tearing up
any floors.
The plumbing is in charge OF
Herman Schnell, representing
the Wallace Bros. company. Mr..
has had % years eNpe-
rience. He is greatly interested
in his work here and says he
wants to see the best work done.
Mr.. Schnell says Inc is pleased
with Plymouth and has written
MS wife Ito come here and see
it too.
Tq1e contract calls for the COM
Dletion of the building by the
18th OF October, but owing to
delay on a part of the material
20 be shipped the TIME has been
extended to the last OF October.
