NORTH BELFAST. Our public buildings, the
schoolhouse and church, are undergoing extern
sive improvements. The upper rooms of the
former have been sheathed with steel, both
ceiling and walls and painted soft tints of yell
low and green. New blackboards have replac-
ed the old; the old seats have been removed
and new, modern ones, installed; new furnace
and ventilating apparatus has been put in the
outside painted and other general repairs
made. The work was done under the direction
of Supt Knowlton and the result is a beautiful
school room with many of the modern appli-
ances, and no doubt second to none in the city.
Rapid progress was made upon the church YES
try last week. The building was raised five
feet in four days under the direction of Ansel
and Frank Stevens. The framework and win

that now one can get an idea of how the build
ing will look when completed. 1t is the pre-
vailing opinion that the changes will greatly
add to the general appearance of the building.
People are responding generously, both with
labor and money, SO that its completion at an
early date is practically assured. Mrs.
