BANK EXPECTS TO REOPEN IN THREE WEEKS Pensacola, Sept. 10.—Depositors in large numbers gathered at the American National bank yesterday and signed the agreements there to accept time certificates of deposits, payable three, six, nine @nd twelve months from the date of the reopen- ing of the bank. It was announced that over half of the large deposi- tors have already signed. Depositors who have accounts under $500 are not asked to sign, neither are those having saving accounts. It is now believed that everything will be signed up and ready for bpresenta- tion to the comptroller of the cur- rency within the next ten days, and |- that the bank can reopen in three weeks. Jones is anticipating the largest at- tendance in the history of the sthool, it being estimated that in the neighborhood of 1,400 pupils will be enrolled before the school term has progressed very far. The teachers, of whom there will be 35, are coming in on every train and will be in readiness for the open- ing on Monday. The Lake Morton school is not yet ready for occu- pancy, and school will therefore open in the old building, the addi- tion to which is now complete and ready for occupancy, the new seats having arrived and are now being placed. Marshall & Sanders, the local con- tractors for this work are to be complimented on the good job they have done, and the speed with which they have completed it, it be- ing turned over to the board about two weeks ahead of the specified time for completion. The addition was designed by and crected under the supervision of G. D. & H. D. Mendenhall, local desighing engi- neers, and these gentlemen give the following data relative to the size, arrangement, and general design of the structure. Old building as remodelled, 12 rooms, new addition 12 rooms, base- ment under new addition 4 rooms. Total, rooms available for classes, 28. The four basement rooms have been left unfinished at pregent but may ke made ready for occupancy on short notice. The auditorium remains the same as before the remodeling was done, and has a capacity of about 400. By putting 40 pupils in each room there is a capacity of 1,120, or by allowing 50 to a room there is a capacity for 1,400. The auditorium may be considered as the equivalent of two more rooms if necessary. ' The addition is constructed of 16-inch brick walls for the first story and 12-inch walls to the roof, The roof is covered with the best quality of galvanized metal shin- gles. The second story floors are doubled with deadening felt and air space between the two Jayers of flooring to insure a minimum of noise passing through. The second story rooms are ventilated with ceil- ing vents connecting with six gal- vanized iron roof ventilators, in ad- dition to the usual distribution of trapsoms and windows. he sanitary conveniences are the most modern in use, everything be- ing exposed and working automatic- ally. Massive, easy rising, metal fire escapes have been installed at the two most accessible points on the gecond floor and may be used as regular exits and entrances. The cost to the county for these improvements as taken from the fin- al estimate made by the designers to the school board, is as follows: Main contract $12,981.00 Contract for recovering old building Contract for rooms .... Contract for additional electric lighting Contract for concrete stairway to basement. Contract for repainting portions of old build- ing ... Miscellaneous basement 7,370.00 100.00 110.00 $15,600.78 Less contract for old annex Total earned by con- tractor .... $15,363.78 e ———— The majority of the men’s over- alls made in England are manufac- tured in Yarmouth.
