OFFICE OF BOARD OF EDUCATION,
| ST. PAUL, Jan. II, 1882.
| The Board met at 7:30 p. m, President
Kerr in the chair.
Present-Inspectors Murphy, Wilgus,
Oppenheim, Abbott, Athey, Gilbert,
Schiffman, Berlandi, Donnelly, Mr.. Presi-
| dent
Absent-Inspectors Benz, Hamilton.
Inspector Abbott, from the Committee
on Property, submitted the following re-
port:
| To the Board of Education:
The Committee on Property report,that
in their opinion it is expedient that a
Superintendent of Property be appointed
| at suitable salary, who shall be compe-
tent to do all ordinary repairing and SUI
perintend the construction of buildings IN
process of erection. He shall attend to
the inspection and delivery Of supplies,
and do such other work as the committee
or the Board may direct. We recommend
| if this proposition meets the approval of
| the Board, that the salary of the office be
fixed at $1,000 per year, and that Mr..
Frank La Birge be appointed to that
position. The subject of heating the
high school has been under the consider
alton of the committee, and after careful
consideration it Is recommended that
steam be used. The expense will be
about $4,000. The architect after further
examination has changed his mind and
advises that steam be used. The Ruttan
heaters as before recommended by Mr..
Randall, will cost about the same as
steam and will necessitate the keeping up
of nine fires instead of one Or two if we
| use steam Thus saving much labor and
probably something in the cost of fuel.
In order to avoid any possible danger
that some might fear from an explosion,
we recommend that the boilers be placed
in lean to built In the rear re-entrant
angle of the building 1t will involve
some additional expense.
The architect states that he is perfectly
satisfied that the privies can be perfectly
ventilated where he has located them,
and the use of steam will make this if
possible even more certain. The expense
of putting them outside will be about
81, 900, and we suggest that the action of
the Board in regard to their location be
reconsidered.
On motion the report was received.
That part of the report relating to the
appointment of superintendent of con-
struction of buildings and repairs, was
adopted, and the salary fixed at $1,000 per
year payable monthly from February lst.
