in that building are badly in need of
repairs. A local dealer, who had been
requested to give this heating appara-
tus the once over to determine the
extent Of the necessary repairs, figured
these up to $1,100, and offered to in
stall two new furnaces for $1,000, or
only $1O0 more than the repairs would
amount to. It was decided to make
further Investigations before taking
final action in the premises, as the work
cannot be undertaken until during the
Christmas holidays.
