 As this building is primarily O gym nasium end natatorium the heating plant Is the most important part of the equipment
 The boilers and tank heating sys tenn in the building are SO arranged that they can be used either as hot water or steam There Ia one 70.h.p boiler and one 30-h D. boiler in sep arate brick settings The large boiler win be used only during the time of heating the tank, after having been re-fined; Che small boiler win be useo continuously for heating the building and maintaining the heat in the tank ! The condensed water from the steam heating system win be discharged in % the large boiler. when not ln use for heating the tank, and win partially maintain the temperature of the tank The large boiler when not in use for heating the tank, win be used as Q hot water reservoir. holding about 15Oo gallons. for the shower baths and hot water service throughout the building The water in this large building wll be heated by the waste gases from the smaller unit they passing into the fire box under the boiler back through the nues into the stack A draught acceierator is installed for forcing the boilers, shoud pension require. and they can be forced to about % per cent over their rated capacity.
 How Tank To Heated
 The initial heat in the tank viii be through hydro-krioneters heated with live steam. Heating with live steam and using distilled water from the heating plant, win tend to make the water in the tank far more sterile and tree from microbes or germs than as though heated by pipes. In the shal- low end of the tank arc four Blakeslee spouters, which win deliver four g streams Of clear water to the tank continuously. The circulation of Che tank is through reversible hydro-lri- oneter; this also nets as an automatic overflow from tho tank. should the at- tendant forget Go shut off the water when filling the tank The overflow takes the water from the bottom Of the tank, and discharges it over @ syphon to the sewer. All Of the drains are trapped, SO that no sewer gas can by any possible chance get into the building.
 The large boiler was contributed tc the Arctic Brotherhood by Mr. 2. IS. Worthen, of the Worthen Mills.
