The Committee on Real Estate, by its
Chairman, Inspector Gilbert, submitted the
following report:
ST. PAUL, August 4, 1884.
To the Honorable Board of Education, st.
Paul:
The Committee on Real Estate respectfully
report,
/. That they have examined the bids for
electric bells and find that the st Paul Elec-
trio Works are the lowest bidders, taking
into account the number of rooms bid on.
| We recommend that the contract be awarded
to them for the number of rooms wanted at
the average cost per room.
2. We recommend the payment of fol-
lowing assessments: For Seventh street i'm
provement on lots to s inclusive, Got
zians addition, 1898; lots l 10 10, block AZ,
Lyman Daytons addition, S452.50; total
$545. so.
3. We recommend that sewer and water
connections be made at the new Neill school.
4. We recommend that chemical fire ex-
tinguishers and stand pipes be placed in
the Jefferson, Madison, Humboldt, Franklin
and High school buildings as required by law,
and that the Committee on Real Estate be
authorized to determine the kind of pipe
necessary, with power to act under the rules
of the Board.
b 5. We submit a list Of repairs required at
the High school as given to us by the en-
gineer, and recommend that the Committee
on Real Estate be authorized to have the
work done If in their judgment it is found to
| be necessary.
6. We have examined the lots bought by
| the board on Wayzata street, and find that
they are situated mostly on marshy ground
and lie low. Theylcan be filed up so as to
be used for a school building, but it will
probably be better to sell them and buy lots
that do not require any filling. They are
not the lots that were shown to the Commit
tee on Real Estate before the purchase.
Your committee in looking over that part of
| the city were convinced that school is
urgently needed there this winter, and We
recommend that the old Rice school building
be moved on to these lots and used for
a school until the Board shall be prepared to
erect better aud larger one.
Z. We have sold the seats and desks in
the old Neill school ut S275. We have bid
| for the old Rice school of 1926, which we are
! disposed to consider favorably if the Board
| decide not t. move il.
s We ask for authority to have Sbley
school lots graded so as to be accessible for
| putting in fuel, also for putting board and
! picket fence around same. We ask for
authority to purchase the slate black boards
for the Sibley school and for putting in suit
| able water closets.
Respectfully submitted.
