main reading room with a very high
ceiling. The stack room has q capa-
city of 100000 volumes.
The exterior Of the forestry build
ing is complete, the partitions are

it is expected to complete the struc-
ture about December /. This build
ing has a reinforced concrete frame,
brick and terra Gotta exterior walls,

Complete by Armistice Day
The gymnasium will be practically
completed by November IL, Armistice
day. on the evening of which it will
be dedicated and a reception and dance
will be conducted there. On that day
a football game will be played be-
tween the Aggies and Grizzlies. 1t
will also be the last day Of the an
nual Homecoming at the university and
the college has been invited to hold
its homecoming week at the university
in order to get all the Montana alumni
together.
A central heating plant is also be-
ing constructed, at a cost of $4,000
and will be completed by December
/. at which time it will be ready. for
testing and it is expected to have
steam in the various buildings from
this plant early in that month.
The building is located at the low
est point on the campus so the con
densation of steam is returned by
gravity from all the buildings and no
water is wasted. This is Il big item
as it is figured the loss of this water
would amount to about S3.oN0 in 6
year. The building is located at the
!, mouth of He'll Gate canyon so the
/ $50 foot stack is not behind a noun
! tain and is always assured a draft.
