Steam heating installed by J M Daly has the Jackson Street public school nearly finished. The low pressure system uses about three pounds to heat to desired levels with a five pound setting yielding 70 degrees while outside is zero. Thirty nine radiators across rooms and hallways allow individual control. The chimney may need enlargement but the system is considered satisfactory with no gas or occupant effects.
