the desire of the committee to have

failing In receiving bids whidh they
considered low enough; and after
much delay, they resolved upon the
purchase of the material and employ
ment of wOrkmen. They were doubt
less fortunate in securing the services
of FL. Il. Whitney, of Reed City, as the
master builder; as his manner of con-
Quoting the work and the work itself
abundantly tcstifics.
The committee built the school
house and out buildings, furnished
furnished the stoves, &C.; put down u
drive well; and expended the money
as follows: For material, including
stoves &C., $l241.0l; labor, Sl0i2. 10;
paid for seats Sl50.cO. The expenses

There was some material left over,
part Of which has been and the rest
will be sold, and the money turned
over into the district treasury.
OF course, the manner in which the
building was constructed threw n good
deal of time and labor on the shoulders
of the committee; but we believe the
district has been saved some hundreds
of dollars by the course pursued. So
far as we have learned, the people of
the district are well satisfied; and If
that be so, and good schools be the
result, the building committee will
doubtless feel willing to accept that as
compensation In full for their trouble.
