ST. PAUL, July IL, 1852.
To the Honorable Board of Education of
the City of st. Paul:
Your Committee, to whom was referred
| the bill of A. 81 Andrews g. Co.. for
furniture furnished this Board, respect
fully report that they have carefully ex-
amined the matter and find the facts to
be as follows:
The Board of Education owe A. II.
Andrews g. Go. the sum of S4,317.T
and interest, the same is due and there is
money in the treasury to pay the bill.
The reason for not paying 1t is that
there is suit pending against the Board
for infringement of patent on folding
seats. If the suit should be decided
against the Board, they would have just
claim against A. 81. Andrews e. Co. for
whatever folding seats they may have
sold us during the time of such infringe
ment.
We have seen the agent of A. Fl. An
dreWs Sc Co. and he offers to give the
Board bond Of indemnity against any
loss we may sustain by reason of the suit
being decided against the Board, as to
any such seats they may have sold us.
We therefore recommend that the bill
of A. ii. Andrews 81 Co. be paid upon
their furnishing the proper officers of this
Board with such bond of indemnity.
Respectfully submitted,
L.. A. GILBERT,
GEO. A. HAMILTON,
Finance Committee.
