During the session of 1913" con-.
tinues the writer the Thirty-flfth
general assembly alone entertained the
introduction Of 1897 bills and joint

that in Iowa there are about onethird
as many enactments as there are bills

FIRE At CENTRAL BUILDING.
Over Hundred Tons OF Coal In the
New Heating Plant Caught
Fire.

There was considerable OF scare
at the Central school building last
Friday night when it was learned that
the huge pile Of coal in the new heat
Ing plant was on fire. Over one hum
dred tons OF slack coal had been put
into the immense bin in the heating
plant and spontaneous combustion
brought about fire.
When it was learned that the coal
pile was on fire the school board got
busy and hired crew of men to show
ed the coal from the bin. 1t took
from Saturday morning until late Sum
day afternoon to remove the coal and
eet down to the seat of the trouble.
1t was fortunate indeed that the coal
was stored outside OF the main build:

danger OF setting the school house ON
fire. No damage whatever was done
to the new heating plant but of course
some OF the coal is now useless for
firing purposes.

cause such facts unfortunately seldom
find their way into the records. Never

that traders British and
