EAST WIND MAKES ZOO COLD. ~ Opening of Buildings Postponed Until Smoke Stack Is Lengthened.

EAST WIND MAKES ZOO COLD.

Opening of Buildings Postponed Un-
til Smoke Stack Is Lengthened.

When the wind blows from the east it is impossible to heat the boilers installed in the zoo buildings at Swope park on account of the smoke stack not being high enough.

At yesterday's meeting of the board it was decided to lengthen the stack with a metal top, and next spring carry the stone work up to the required height. Until this work is done there will be no formal opening of the building, as it is not deemed best to install the animals before sufficient heating facilities are assured.
