The supply committee authorized
the installation OF a water heater in
the Lincoln building, 10 furnish hot
water for the janitor's use. This step

OF the boilers from this institution,

buildings will be heated from the ecu
trail heating plant in the new manual
arts building, and il is expected that
the new plant, consisting Of four boil
ers will be ready for use by cold
weather Should this not be the case,
the Lincoln school will be heated from
the high school plant, underground
pipes having been laid, connecting
these two buildings. The high school
heating plant Is entirely adequate TO
take care OF the additional burden,
inasmuch as ordinarily but one boiler
is needed TO furnish the warmth for
tremely cold weather.
MANY TEACHERS GET BONUS.
Superintendent H. B. Hayden re-
ported that all grade school teachers
with the exception of FIVE, who were
absent from the city, had a perfect
attendance record at the county insti-
tute, and are therefore entitled 10 the
