Another Building To By ROGER PUSEY Deseret Sews Staff Writer rr vkWLa' No sooner had Hogle Zoo completed a $340,000 feline building than it advertised for bids on a new small animal building that should be ready for opening in a year. Director LaMar Farnsworth said the new building, designed by Bruce J. McDermott and Associates, will be built east of the new feline building on the south side of Emigration Creek. The small animal building is the third major building project made possible by the passage of a $1 million bond issue three years ago. It will be shaped like a large triangle and divided into desert, tropical and temperate regions for display of reptiles, snail mammals and birds from each area. At each point of the triangle theie will be a bird display heavy with vegetation com- mon to the area. There w ill be .

These cages also can be changed in size to accommodate large and small animals. Doors between each of the a teas will be kept closed because each will have its own temperature and humidity.
