FIXING THE VENTILATION SYSTEM AT STATE HOUSE Montpeller, April 13 Work was com menced tu-dny nt the Slate House to put in a drain from the air duct nt the cast end of the bul'dlng to the waste pipe near the stieet. The duct was a part of the new heating and vintllntlrig ap paratus that was put In last year, but proved unsatisfactory dining the winter as It became flooded several times, mak ing it impassible to ventllatn tho offices In the east part nf the building until the water wns pumped out. A ditch Is being dug from the duet to tho wastu pipe and a line of plpo will be connected with the duct which N on a higher grade than the waste pipe, nnd It Is thus hoped to keep It free from water. There Is little frost In the ground where tho (xrnvatlon is being inndo but owing lo a rock ledge considerable blasting will have to be done beforo the pipe enn bo laid. The duct that has frequently filled with water Is the only part of the new system that proved unsatisfactory and when the drainage Is provided the apparatus will be In the best possible condition.
