the most satisfactory way to dispose of the
old Neill and Rice buildings will be by public
sale, and therefore recommend that the
Secretary be instructed to advertise for bids
at once.
Your Committee will make the annual
inspection of the school buildings very soon,
and ask that as soon as the repairs are deter
mined upon the Secretary shall advertise for
bids for such repairs as the committee shall
deem necessary.
Your committee have ordered the repairs
made to the roof of the High School Building,
and have also ordered sash locks to be put
windows in lower story.
Respectfully submitted,
VIM Y, a BH usLhSBr' Committee

Inspector Gilbert, Special Committee on
heating the Neill school, read the following
report:
ST. PAUL. Mimi, July z, 1884.
To the Honorable Board of Education:
The undersigned, to whom was referred
the matter of heating the new Nell school
building, begs leave to report that he has
carefully considered the matter, having
written letters to several parties in this and
other states, asking for information about
the Ruttan system of heating and ven tlation.
The replies received were uniformly favor
able and the commentators all that could
be desired, not only that it was more health
full and economical, but also that there was
no objection that could be urged against it
by the use of soft coal. And | will state that
it is my opinion that the Ruttan system
would give perfect satisfaction if once intro
duced into our schools. When, however,
the residents in the neighborhood of the new
building heard that the board proposed to In
troduce a system of heating, using soft coal,
they prepared and presented your Committee
with paper in which they protested in the
strongest terms against its use. | invited
the gentlemen to listen to the testimony in
my possession, and as they were not con-
WINGED that soft coal would not be a nui-
sance, / assured them that in Difference to
their wishes | would not report favorably on
the Ruttan furnace. OF the other furnaces
upon which bids were made at the time,
would recommend that the bid of Prender-
CAST Bros. be accepted, with the distinct un-
Outstanding that No. 1853 furnaces be used
instead of No. 152, at same price. This is
larger furnace than first bid for, and in my
opinion will do much better service. Re-
spectfully submitted. J.. A. GILBERT,
Committee.

same ones which now appear to be the prop
erty of the Board, but were all high and dry
