Included in these projects are a patients' cottage to cost $253,870, employes' dormitory $230,142, laundry building $125, 836 and cold storage plant $4,473.14. Three buildings at the state training school for boys will cost $647,048, with appropriations of $193,796.39 and $160,000. Cost of the segregation cottage, nearing completion, Is $185,040. A school building is to cost $117,000 and combined shop, cottage and gym nasium $345,000. Officials trans ferred $293,251 61 of state building funds for construction of these structures. Largest at HUlcrest Contracts for only three proj ects still are to be awarded. Larg est of these expenditures, estimat ed at $917,465. is proposed at Hill crest schooL for girls. Estimates place the cost of a school building at $452,518, girls' dormitory $409, 562 and food service plant $55,385. Bids for these projects have been asked and will be received later this month. At the state deaf school a new school building and dormitory were estimated to cost $408,250, while at the Eastern 0rn tuberculosis hospital at The Dalles an employes' dor mitory was listed at $265,776. Bids for the latter project will be re ceived by the board of control April 16. To Conclude Projects Under the Isw the state emer gency board must approve bids for projects at the latter three in stitutions before actual construc tion work can be started. Mills said It would be possible to com plete the entire current construc tion program by late In the year provided bids for the projects not yet under contract are within the architects' estimates 11 .u . W hen all these construction i projects are completed, barring I. tk lva 4Wia-a ..'ill , 4. s. be left in the state building fund .iwo rt k k,h t Li,ni allocated to the board of control approximately 9115,000. Mills said this cushion would be sufficient pending the 1949 legislature when other construction appropriations probably will be sought. Board of control members have indicated they may submit an in stitutional construction program covering a period of from 10 to 20 yaars to the next legislature. Current construction, it was said, merely has placed the state in a position to cope with present demands rather than provide fa cilities for any long period In the future. Formation of the coast guard in 1915 involved the merger of the life-saving service and the reve nue cutter service. Opens Today - Cent. 1:43 sjb.

It wti used simply by shoveling 11 Into ordinary f.rt-boxe. It was found to be a good fuel. With Its increased use came the develprrient of equipment designed to decrease the work of Its handling snd to lncreae its heating efficiency. It was then discovered that, if burned under either forced or ratuial draft, sawdust produced a flame similar to that produced by oil. That wsg when the problem of manufacturing an efficient and economi cal burner attachment was tackled In em nest. The burner we now produce is the end result of sn e c lutionary process thst extended over many years of constant effort toward improve ment. That is why our sawdust burners of today provide your home with clean, efficient and economical warmth at constant temperatures. A sawdust burner attached to your furnace will sae you money snd provide your home with exactly the right comfortable warmth, no matter how diaagieeable the climate outside. Thousands of our sawdust burners sre In use through out the Pacific Northwet and In other areas where an abund ance of sswdust Is always available.
