ARE ENLARGlNG THE CLASS
ROOMS AT THE HIGH SCHOOL
BUILDING HERE.

The class rooms at the Athenaeum
building are being enlarged consid-
erably by the removal of some petit
lions in the building. This work is
being done under the direction of the
building and supply committee of the
city board of education, and Wednes-
day afternoon they awarded the con-
tract for the work to R. L. Jeter.
1t is contemplated by the commit
tee to install heating apparatus both
in the Andrews and the Athenaeum
buildings, but there is some objection
made to the latter proposition, be-
cause it is argued that when over
$4,000 are spent on an apparatus, it
should be installed in the permanent
building, and they are talking of build
ing a new house to replace the Ath-
enaeum.
