Deal Honorably with tho Honest.
The g%cntlemanly contractors who
built our fine school-housc have done
much better work than vas ex-
pected, aud have done much necessa-
rv work not in the contract-so anx-
ious were they to do n good job and
TO completely carry out their part
of the contract. In so doing. we are
sorry TO learn, they have met with an
actual loss. We do not believe the
Savannah School Board desires 10
get something for nothing. Having
a finer school-housc building, and bet
ter made and finished, than they bar
gained for, we think they would be
fully justified in paying the honest
and workmanlike contractors the full
worth of the building rs it stands.
At any rate, they should be saved
from actual loss.
