gagged in putting the grammar and

for the fall opening in September.
The grammar school is receiving
the most attention from the me-
chanics and the work there en-
braces the putting in of two metal
ceilings. New flooring has been
laid and a new front porch entrance.
Bids are also out for the installa-
ton OF a new heating system in this
building as the present boilers are
not capable of furnishing sufficient
heat as cheaply as the coal war
rants. At the high school building
the ceilings are receiving the at
tention of workmen and with the
recent repairs made to the roof the
buildings will be in good shape for
the opening OF the fall term. The
street is in need of repairs as is the
sidewalk at that point that suffered
