Eyes Light Plant
AS Future Location
Lima Concern Expanding,
Investigates Location
In Bluffton

That an outside industry has an
eye on Bluffton's municipal light and
waterworks building as a manufac-
turing location was revealed at a
meeting of municipal council Tuesday
night.
ROLAND Stratton, who lives two
miles west of town, told council that
a tool manufacturing firm in which
he is one of the principals may be
interested in leasing or buying a
part of the municipal structure pro-
viding there is no extended delay in
making it available.
Stratton's firm, with headquarters
in Lima, has outgrown its present
location, and the local building could
easily be adapted for use by the con-
Germ, council was told.
Present employment of the Lima
operations totals Is men, with ex-
pansion in sight in the near future,
accounting for the need to make a
move at an early date, it was ex-
planned. No women are employed by
the firm.
Councilmen said that any decision
as to disposition of the building
facilities after the generation of
electric current is stopped viii be
made by the board of public affairs.
and that plans are not yet to a stage
where any definite answer can be
given as to whether manufacturing
space will be available in the
structure.

Kirchhofer, home superintendent,
who keeps an observant eye on the
construction and is assisting with it,
is now able to point out where the
various facilities of the home will be
located
AS workmen begin now on ahe
second floor construction, the living
quarters for the superintendent ard
his family will be started, and Mr..
Kirchhofer hopes to be Established
there by late fall. II
That the dormitory rooms will We
cool and comfortable on the hottest
days was indicated during the cur
rent hot weather when it could be
demonstrated how the exterior over
hang shades the wide windows from
direct rays of the sun, The ang!e-sf
the over-hang is such that during the
winter the suns rays will enter the
rooms.
A large 2,500-gallon storage tank
for the oil heating system arrived on
the site this week.
Completely freproof, not a piece
of wood is seen in the building. Mr..
Kirchhofer said that the hand rails
will be the only items of wood used
in the entire building.
One feature which meets the eye
Immediately upon inspection of the
building is the long ramp arrange
ments whereby a person may go to
any part of tie building without US
ing stairs. The ascent is so gradual
one inch to a foot-that one scarce
ly is aware he is climbing from one
floor to another.
One feature of the basement will
be a large workshop which Mr..
Kirchhofer hopes to be able to equip
with tools and materials for use by
