BIDS RECEIVED FOR
DELAWARE DORNITORY
Work on Grading for Bouleuard Begun

erected are still in an excellent
state of preservation.
The proposed boulevard which
is to run from Main street to a
point near the Women's College,
down the center of the new col
lege land, with buildings to be
erected on each side, will start
near the Colmery house. The work
of grading south of Delaware ave-
nue. for this Boulevard was start
ed several days ago, steam dig
ger being in operation. The grad
ing and putting the boulevard in
shape will cost $4,000.
While progress is being made
in the building of Wolf Hall, the
new science building, the work is
handicapped to some extent by a
scarcity of skilled workmen, and
this difficulty affects other opera
tions. The foundations have been
completed and part of the first
story is up.
| All of the interior and sections
of the walls of the old Dcrmitory
building have been torn down.
Some of the laboratories and Off
ces for various of the college fac
ulty have been moved to the Jones
and Elliott houses, on Main street,
pending the completion of the new
buildings.
Another work that has been
started for the college is the turn
ing of the Stoll house on the
southeast corner of Delaware ave-
nue. and Depot Road into an in
firmary for the college. This is a
large new brick dwelling, built
about two years ago, and is we'll
suited in every particular for the
use to which it will be put. In
only requires a few changes to
|, turn it into a modern infrmary
. and this work will be completed
! by the time college opens next
! month.
