COUNTY Is DIVIDED INTO FOUR
ROAD DISTRICTS BY COMMIS-
SIONERs IN COMPLIANCE WITH
STATUTES OF 1913.

The county commissioners we're
confronted with considerable busi-
ness of Importance at their meeting,
Monday. and one matter disposed of
was the granting of loan of $4,000
for the purpose of installing heat
ing plant in the new county high
school building. DR.. r. H. Richard
son and Senator N. II. Chaplin were
present at the meeting and explained
to the commissioners why the money
should be forthcoming. AS explained
by Senator Chaplin. the cost of the
new school building up to the present
time includes the following items:
Contract price $41,775; building lots
$500; architects fee 81, 400; super
intendent's fee $500; extra expense
for cement foundation $675. There
yet remains in the building fund the
sum of $500 due the contractor.
This amount is not sufficient to in
stall the heating plant, electric light
ing fixtures and complete the neces-
sary grading to the grounds. The
heating plant is to be in a separate
building, plans for which were made
by Charles w. Backe. After consid-
erable discussion of the subject in
general the loan was approved.
More money will eventually be
needed to complete the interior of
the building for the use of the do
nestle science department and chem
ical laboratory 1t is estimated that
that about 900 will be required
and provided by bond issue. Mean
time, the school board will make use

able material at hand
