POWER HOUSE
Both chimney stacks were put in place this
week. The Power House now boasts of throe
chimneys. It is doubtful as to whether
the one old one will be taken down this
year.
Neither one of the new boilers haire been
put in operation as yet. However, the
heat situation is seme what improved over
what it was a few weeks ago. There is at
time a shortage of steam which hinders
efficient operation in units whore a great
deal of steam is used such as the Creamery
The onployoes and all others dependent up
on the Central heating plant are patiently
awaiting the day when'the new boiler will
be put into operation. ^ fir6 has been
started in one of the boilers, but it will
be a little while before it will produce
much* steam as it must bo warmed up gradu
