improvements are being made at
the putting greens of the golf course.
The greens will be enlarged and made
more level, thus contributing to the
enjoyment of the players. The board
of directors is also considering put
ting in bill against the officers of the
Northwest Nursery for loss Of blood
on the part of the members OF the
golf club due to pernicious activities
Of mosquitoes kept and maintained by
said nursery company. Said mo.
squitoes have already acquired blood
from some Of the first families Of Val
lev City, resulting in great loss Of
composure and also of strokes in the
game.

A fine improvement is being made
in the addition to the heating plant at
the High School. When the new build
ing was put up it was planned to use
city heat, but that expectation has
failed, owing to the great load already
carried by the boilers at the power
station. It thus became necessary to
provide for an adequate heating plant
that should take care Of the three
school buildings and insure heat
enough to meet all requirements. The
school board is spending between 49,
900 and $4,000 in the construction:
changing the old boilers around and
putting in large new one. N. M. Mel
son, contractor, is doing the work,
and expects to have it completed II
a few days. It should provide sufti-
Gent heating capacity for the coolest
winter weather.
