New Schoolhouse
Cement Work Goes
Forward Rapidly
“If the fates only favor us with
an even break on the weather for
the next break on the weather for
the foundation in for the new
school house,” said Gerhardt John
r.en, who was busy today with a
crew of 10 men laying in the foun
dation base and erecting the forms
for the sidewalls which are consid
ered a part of the foundation pro
per. With the weather holding
propitious the cement pouring can
go ahead rapidly with every pros
pect that the framework can be
gotten up and the building enclos
ed to permit cold weather work.
With a good start along these lines
it is very possible that the building
can be finished and ready for oc
cupancy in record time.
