School officials tour Sheldon heating and ventilation system
School trustees Vesper Morse and Harrington and City Superintendent Overmyer visited Sheldon Monday to inspect heating ventilating and closet systems. They noted Sheldon is compact, suitable for a central building about twice the size of the current one with twenty three rooms. The system uses outside air forced through two yard square openings over furnaces by a ten foot fan driven by a 12 horse engine, claiming automatic uniform temperature and half the cost of other systems due to rapid air movement.
