Plans are Placed in Hands of C0ntrac.

Greatly Needed.

Architect o. z. Cervin today COM
pleted plans for an addition 10 Beth
any home to cost $4,000. The addition
will be placed at the angle to the
south and to the east of the present
building and will be constructed en-
tirely of brick, two stories in height
2S feet wide and so feet long. The
plans have been placed in the hands
of contractors and bids will be re-
ceived until June 5.
The addition carries with it numer-
Gus improvements, which have been
badly needed at the home. The old
A., heating plant, which is worn out, will
be torn down and new heating plant
installed in the basement of the old
building, to heat the entire structure,
including the addition. The basement
of the new building will be arranged
for an electric laundry, which will be
installed as quickly as funds are Sc
cured. On the first floor there will be
a large dining room and a play room
for girls, so arranged that it can be
turned into isolation room in case of
emergency.
On the second floor of the new addi-
ton will be a dormitory to accommo-
date 20 girls and each will have a
separate locker and drawer. On this
| floor there will also be a matron's
Office and bedroom and a private bath
room.

FAVORED AT MEET
Gathering in Interest of Improving
Highway Between New Windsor
and SWedOna Is Held.

IA booster meeting for oiled roads
along the Burlington Way was held at
New Windsor last night, which was at
tended by large number of farmers
and business men. Representatives
were present from Rio, Sherrard and
other neighbOring towns, and great
enthusiasm was manifested.
Fred w. Young, secretary of the
Rock Island committee in charge of
road Improvement, was present at the
meeting and explained the plan of pro-
ceedure.
A local organization was effected of
which Jeff Christy was made president
and H. G. Peterson secretary, and a
committee was appointed to take in
hand the matter of oiling the roads be-
tween New Windsor and Swedona.
A number Of pledges were volun-
teeTed without any solicitation, and
the organization will undoubtedly
prove most effective.
New Windsor is one of the towns of
this vicinity which has made a de-
cided success in care of roads, and it
is this success which has created the
enthusiasm which was so evident at
last nights meeting.
Mr.. Young will spend considerable
time with the organization at New
Windsor, assisting them in their eff
forts.
