The new telehones in the central
group Of buildings are being installed
this week by Mr.. Langford OF the
Langford Electric Co. These tele-
phones are not connected with the
city phone but are merely for use in
the building. The master phone is
located in the superintendent office
and the other phones are located as
follows: the Board Room, the senior
high school principals office, the jun
Tor high school assembly room, the
junior high school principals office,
physical directors office, boiler room,
the industrial building, and the central
grade building. These telephones will
save a great deal of time in the 3D.
