was approved.
Mr.. Lally stated that the heaters of
No. Is had become unfit for use, and the
committee after inviting proposals had
neg heaters placed In the building at

II the committee be approved.
This motion resulted In one OF the
most senseless debates that has ever oc-
Cured In the Board. 3

bill for the heaters was presented and
endorsed IL be paid and the committee
ensured.

do pc, and the Board had end oBsad their
action.
Mr.. Lobdell thought 1t was precedent
for the Board to sanction such an action;
committees might 60 on aud build school
houses, and then ask the Board 10 sp-
prove their action.
Mr.. Kenny said he would not vote TO
ceflsure the committed, although he ad-
United they had done wrong. He would
vote to pay thetbih, s.d 4l.ft -
