is practically the same as the ordln-
airy sewer pipe, only that it is lined
with asbestos, and the interior is fit
ted with small rollers. The steel pipe
inside the casing rests upon these roll
ers, which eliminates the danger OF
breakage from expansion and contrac-
ton. The condensation is forced back
to the plant by a pump that
is installed in the basement.
The large boiler now in the old
heating plant will be moved to the
new plant in 1923, and in the future
the coal viii be delivered to the heat
ing plant by the railroad by way OF
a spur track.
The designing for the plant was done
by the Chas. L. Pillsburg company OF
Minneapolis; Bake &c Forbis of Mis-
soula were the architects, while the
contract was let TO a number of con-
Germs throughout the country.
More Than Million Spent
The expenditure on the six new
buildings that are either finished or
under construction at the present time
totals 81, Z 900. The institution is
on its way to a real expansion. How
ever. it is impossible to please every
one. With all the new structures in
place, and the congestion relieved, the
manager of the Associated Students OF
the University of Montana campus
store viii shortly be forced to evacu-
ate his place of business. The "a
members of the faculty, and the 1sS47
students composing the university have
each in turn been questioned by the
irate manager, as to his final destlna-
ton.
The Greater University OF Montana
has, besides the university at Mlssouia,
seven other branches, and buildings are
being constructed at all of these insti-
tons. The location of the various
branches and the number of buildings
be;np erected at each of the institu-
tons is as follows:
AGRICULTURAL college at Bozeman, five
new buildings.
Normal school at Dillon. n new
building.
new buildings.
Orphans home at Twin bridges, two
new buildings.
School for the Deaf and Blind al
Boulder. foursnew buildings.
School of Mines at Butte, one new
building.
Vocational school at Helena. two
new buildings.
The supervision of construction at
these various institutions is in charge
of Mr.. Hugenin. who was employed
for the job by the state board OF exam
iners. Mr.. Hugenin will remain as su-
pervisor until the entire bond issue OF
SIS. eco is expended, though the
present buildings under construction
will in all probability be completed
within the next few months. The COM
pletion Of the buildings now under con-
struction does not end the program.
Az soon as funds are Forthcoming,
more new structures viii be erected at
the institutions that find their need
imperative.
A Great Progressive Stride
The following statement was made
by President Clapp of the university in
reference to the growth and expansion
of the institution:
"a birdseye view of the state univer-
sity today presents an aspect greatly
altered from that of 3 year ago. Six
new buildings stand out a. monuments
to the generosity and foresight of the
people of Montana. Never before has
such a great stride been accomplished
in the development of u physical
plant. and we who have been watching
closely THIS ueNSiopiAGA 4eel hSCuis
the enormous duty placed upon the
state university toward the people Of
the state, and its great obligation to-
ward them.
Each year the people of this
try, more and more, realize the neces-
sity of higher education. The action
of Montana citizens in providing the
new buildings on our campus is an evil
dence of their faith in the higher edu-
cational institutions of their own state
and a recognition of the great poten-
tialities of the University of Mem
tana.
although the increasing enrolment
promises to absorb quickly the addi-
tional space, the new buildings will re-
lieye much of the congestion incident
to the rapid growth of the state uni
yersity during the last few years. While
the state university has done extra

physical plant win make possible a
greatly increased service to the people
of the state in the future"
