CONSTRUCTION WORK
ON NEW SCHOOL
NEARLY DONE

The new Harding school is the scene |
OF much activity these days, with the |
various sub-cOntractors working at top
speed to have their work completed by |
the end of the week. Insofar as the |
actual construction work is concerned, |
the building is complete, but there is |
still some finishing work to be done
by carpenters, painters and plumbers. |
The wiring work has been completed,
and the lighting fixtures are ready to |
be placed just as soon as the various |
wOrkmen have finished in the build |
ing. The painting is proceeding rapid |
ly, and the contractor Clyde ii. Larey |
stated this morning that his men would |
be through by Friday. The plumbing
work is well advanced and the installa- |
tion of the shower baths will be com.
pleted in a few days. There are still
q few odds and ends for the carpenters
to take care Of, such as fitting the
doors and finishing the hardwood
floors. The school equipment is ex-
pected to arrive next week, and will be
put in place at once.
1t was expected that the building
would be completed in time to be
used this term, but owing to various
delays the new school will not be used
until the fall term opens in September.
BY that time everything will be ready
to receive the children, and the school
will present an attractive appearance
and the people of FL Centre can well be
proud of it.
Work on the new clubhouse for the
Women' 8 Ten Thousand Club is pro-
crossing satisfactorily, Contractor Cir
ard stated this morning, and the forms
are now being placed for the pouring of
the concrete foundation. The dwelling
house which stands on the lot has been
dismantled Of it's interior, only the walls
remaining. The new clubhouse will ad-
join this building, which is on Seventh
street, but the main entrance will face
on Olive street. Mr.. Girard stated this
morning that there has been a slight de-
| lay due to the fact that the heavy
| timbers which will be used in the new
clubhouse have not arrived, but they
| are expected this week.
| The packing shed being constructed
at Third and Orange streets for w. j.
Morris Company is well under way, and
the construction work will 60 ahead as
rapidly as possible so that the new
building will be ready to take cnrc Of
cantsloupe shipments as soon as thu
first ones arrive. The spur track fol

the shed was put in by the Southern
Pacific company.
Work on the second new building on
broadway being erected by liartzell
and Wilson has reached the end of the
frame construction, and this week the
steel laths will be set in place. 1T is
expected that the building will be com.
pleted in about three weeks.
The building contractors all speak
well for the future of El Centre from q
building standpoint, and all are busy
even at the present time. While there
is not great amount of building being
done, there is enough to keep things
going and there is considerable alter
ing work going on. The fall, contract
ors say, will see u great deal OF bust
ness activity and all are looking for
ward to it with a very optimistic spirit.

OF course there is love. She has prom

The girl gets mixed up in many esca-
