 POWER-HOUSE. 



To simplify the work of heating the buildings, including the green- 

 houses and bird-house, it was decided to erect a power-house near the 

 harbor. This building, of hollow tile and concrete, is 55 by 37 (or 41) 

 feet. It comprises a boiler-room, a room for machines, including 

 space for a pair of future 50 k. w. electric generators, a small forge 

 shop 8 by 13.5 feet, a coal bunker, a carpenter shop, and two rooms 

 for workmen. It is expected to install one electric generator in 1914.

 The roof is flat and of the Barrett specification type. The floors are 

 of reinforced concrete with terazzo surface. The stairs are of steel
