Offer to Rewire Church Kitchen.


For some time the English Ladies'
Aid had planned to make some i'm
provements on the microphone sys-
tenn at the church; however it was
found that the contemplated improve
ments could not be applied to the
present system.
At the Aid meeting yesterday aft
ernoon another needed improvement
at the church was decided upon, or
rather it was decided to do it if agree
able to the church board.
The proposed improvement con-
sists of rewriting the kitchen in the
church basement. This sounds rather
simple, but to the contrary it is a
major job which will cost in the
vicinity of $50. The present wiring
in the kitchen actually constitutes
a fire hazard which should have been
removed long ago as much of it is
temporary wiring which never was
made permanent.
In their proposition the Aid men,
bers request that the blower for the
organ be placed in box outside the
building so as to eliminate the OBJ
jectionable noise; then they wish to
run an Independent circuit from the
main entrance in the front of the
building directly to the kitchen where
it will be branched out to provide
separate lights over the stove, sink,
work table and shelves in addition
to light in the center of the room,
also several wall outlets for plugging
in various electrical appliances that
are now in common use.
1t is assumed that the church board
will accept the offer with thanks as
it is an improvement that should
have been taken care of long ago.

yesterday when the thermometer
