be | --a 3 October 3, 1925 WINNETKA TALK 37 MAKE RAPID PROGRESS ON HIGH SCHOOL PLANT Construction of Heating Plant Expected to be Completed Before Winter Construction on the new heating plant for New Trier high school was started recently and the plant is ex- pected to be ready for operation by this time next year. This is one of two buildings which are to be constructed to take care of increased attendance at the school, the other being a com- bined auditorium and gymnasium which will seat nearly 4,000 persons. Work on this building will start after the heating plant has been completed. The dimensions of the heating plant when it is finished will be 100 feet square and 40 feet high, while the smoke stack will be 175 feet high. There will be two boilers of 500 horse power each, in which the fuel used will be coal. The present Hawkes boiler will act as an auxiliary to the new boilers, the fuel for this boiler being oil. The plant is to burn oil in the fall and spring and both coal and oil in the winter. Complete Before Winter It is expected that the building part of the plant will be finished before the coming winter sets in. The boilers, machinery, and other interior work will be installed during the winter and spring and the heating plant will be ready for use one year from date. The hope now is to begin the erec- tion of the gymnasium-auditorium as soon as the heating plant is com- pleted. The auditorium will face on Essex road and will fill in the area between the present girl's gymnasium and the new heating plant. The gal- leries of the building will seat 1800 people, while movable seats accom- modating 2000 more will be given space on the main floor. All details have not yet been completed, but in- tensive study is being given the plans. Chicagoans Have Contract The contract for the erection of the heating plant has been let to the firm of Strandberg Brothers company, Transportation building of Chicago. The designers are Franz C. Warner and W. R. McCormack, of Cleveland, Ohio. The engineers are the firm of Neiler, Rich and company. The con- tract for the boilers has been let to the Lasker Iron Works, while that for the chimney has been let to Alphonse Custodus. The Illinois Stoker com- pany has the contract for the stokers; that for all the plumbing, sewage and gas fitting has been given to the Fort Dearborn Plumbing and Heating com- pany.
