TO REWIRE BUILDING
Improvement to Home of Open
heimers and Golden Eagle.

Recolect, 1t was Art Oppenheimer
who started things last year? Early
in January, 1915, he opened the i'm
provement campaign by having a new
hard wood floor laid in the Golden
Eagle apartments, South Market
street. It is Mr. Oppenheimer again
this season but this time greater
piece of work engages his effort Inc
entire Williams Block. wherein are
located the Golden Eagle and Open
heimer stores, the offices Of DIR. B. o..
Jerrel, A. J. Augustine and the ldaho
Land and Orchards Company mead
quarters, and the law suite OF Bray
Shifflett & WiIkie, from top to hot
tom, fro mcellar to garnet, is being
rewired for electric current service.
All old wiring is to be removed ana
new, wiring installed in the most ap,
proved method and of the best ma
terial obtainable. Moreover, each
and every service wire is to have its
own separate conduit or steel tube.
When the job is completed, the
work will stand inspection OF the
most stringent municipal form OF
government requirement and meet
every specification of the most ex-
acting builder -. I'D.
Magnitude of, the work may be
Judged when it is known that the
job, material and labor will cost well
along toward one thousand dollars.
Installation of the work will be ac,
complished with difficulty on account
.ef the inaccessibility OF the places for
locating conduits, and this makes the
job more expensive than otherwise, If
placed with the, building under con-
struction. a
Installation OF the work is in the
hands of the oskaloesa Traction &
Light Company.
Prediction is made that the Viii.
liams building will not long be the
only structure in town to have the
new syste moi wiring.
