Hood Dormitory Will be Ideal OF
Efflciencv.

Plans and specifications have been
issued to the contractors for the first
Hood College dormitory. President
Joseph H. Apple reported on Tuesday
night, August 18th. that an estimate OF
the cost of construction would very likely
be received by the end OF the week.
If the bids on this building are not ex-
cessive, the college authorities feel that
they have an ideal dormitory. The ex-
perience of twenty-one years has been
used in perfecting the plans Of this build
ing so that it has been arranged for the
comfort of the students and at the same
time TO render efficient service. Not only
have the ideas of the local officers of the
college been used in the plans, but a
most thorough examination of other in
stitutions, the most modern, have been
made.
The contract for the heating plant of
the administration building, now under
construction, and the new dormitory has
been awarded to Messrs. E. S. Mobley
and Brother, of this city. 1t is vapor
vacuum system, which is the one that
gives the greatest efficiency for the least
amount of fuel consumption.

Want Shoemaker Road.

In spite of the fact that the County
Commissioners have made arrangements
to use the county's proportionate share
OF the money for the construction of
State. or Shoemaker Roads in Fred
erck county. another application has
been made for the construction of about
nine miles of this road in this section
OF the county connecting Urbana with
Monrovia The request for the road
made on Monday, August 18th,
when delegation of about ten persons
from that section of the county appeared
before the board. to give brief draft
OF their plans, showing that the prop
erty owners were willing to pay their
shares in the cost of construction, about
10 per cent.
II the road is constructed it has been
estimated in an offhand manner. that the
cost will be about $4,000. Ten per
cent OF this will be paid by the residents
OF the county. whose property adjoins
this road, 90 per cent will be paid by
the county, and the other fifty per cent.
will be put up by the State.
