CONSTRUCTION OF BUILDINGS 



Native dwellings. — Twelve concrete dwellings for the use of natives 

 were begun on St. Paul Island. The work on 10 of these was so 

 nearly finished by the end of the year that they should be ready for 

 occupancy early in 1926. Foundations for the other two were 

 completed. Nine of these dwellings contain four rooms each, and 

 three have five rooms each. These buildings have 6-inch concrete 

 walls reinforced with steel bars. 



Dispensary. — The new dispensary on St. Paul Island, which was 

 begun in 1924, was completed and occupied in 1925. The building, 

 which is well equipped, includes a laboratory and living quarters for 

 theresident physician.

Barns. — The foundation for a barn for domestic livestock was laid 

 at St. Paul Island. Work on a new barn also was begun on St. 

 George Island. The existing barns on both islands were built 

 many years ago by lessees of the islands and have become unfit 

 for use. 



Employees' dwellings. — A dwelling to be used mainly by the school- 

 teachers was begun on St. George Island. 



WATERWORKS 



St. Paul Island. — On St. Paul Island the project of supplying 

 water to the village from Ice House Lake had progressed so far that 

 it was possible to operate the plant. A permanent filter at the lake 

 remained to be constructed, and the laying of pipes to various parts 

 of the village was not completed.
