Work on Tank Halted by Inspector.
l-Precarious position of men at work
painting the water tower and tank
caused a lull to occur in the continu-
Gus operations which have been going
on since the first of the year. The
state scaffolding inspector decided in
viewing the supports upon which the
men were to work that they were in
/ sufficient and too dangerous to the
/ life and limb of the men. Hence la
| bors of the painters was temporarily
halted. A February sky-gray was be
/ ing spread over the iron of the big
tower when the state inspector ap
peared. One glance was enough. The
state law requires that not only {
strong scaffolding must support the
workmen, but also that there must bt
another elevated platform 16 feet be
low them, so that in case of a fall, tht
life would not be snuffed out.

Activity for new high school is again

the petition for a 100000 bond Issue
is practically completed and the cir
culating will start early this week
Those back of the move look for sue
cess instead of failure, as was tn
case last year When lack Of supper
defeated the measure at the voting il
1912, the board definitely decided tina
If move were made toward the pre-
lject of obtaining a new school build
Iino that II nncnlipifn6 ON
from the citizens. The idea has beel
kept in mind and the question ha
been threshed out. InadeQuacy of tn
present school makes a new structur
imperative, little opposition arising
from that point. The question of sit
has caused a long delay, but opinion
seems to favor the site just east of tn
present high school building.
