NEW HEATING PLANT
TO KEEP HOSPITAL WARM

Steamftters are busily engaged
in installing the new heating plant
which will be used to heat the Com
mission hospital this winter and in
the winters to come. The increased
size of the hospital made it neces-
sary to install larger heating plant
and in making the change, hot water
is being substituted for hot air.
The plant is being installed by the
Tanana Sheet Metal Works, this
firm also having also installed the
radiation, in the new dormitory,
which gets it's heat from the Com
mission power plant.
