THE FURNACES AGAIN.
The matter of selecting furnaces for the
new part of the Madison school building
came up again, and quite lengthy discus
sion followed. The dispute was
in regard to contracting tor coal
or wood furnaces. Inspector Williams
stated that the people in the locality of the
Madison preferred wood furnaces to coal
and he thought that their wishes should be
respected, besides this the wood furnaces
had proved satisfactory. This opened up
the whole subject and nearly every inspec-
tor took the opportunity to express his
opinions. Inspector Curtis exhibited big
clinker that he took from the Palace King
coal furnace. This clinker was about Sxl0
inches. He declared that it was not the
largest he found and that there was a big
bushel basket of them i'm the furnace when
he took that one out. Inspector Miner
favored coal. but at last voted
against his judgment for wood
Finally, after long talk, and
after the coal furnace was lost by a vote of
9 ayes TO nays, Mr.. Minor concluded 10
change and vote for the wood furnace. On
vote being again taken the motion of Mr..
Williams was carried and the Prendergast
Bros wood furnace was selected.
MISCELLANEOUS.
Mr.. Gilbert raised mild breeze by NOV
ing to reconsider the vote by which Mr..
Gauger was selected as the architect of the
board. He said that other architects had
expressed desire to do some work for the
board and he thought il unwise to select
one man to the exclusion of all others. He
was well satisfied with Mr.. Gauger and
had nothing to say against him or his work.
DIR. Schiffnan opposed this move When
vote was taken Mr.. Gilbert's motion was
lost.
The committee on real estate with the
architect were instructed to examine the
Franklin school and report TO the board
what alterations and repairs ought to be
made and their probable cost; also report
what 1t will cost TO heat the building with
steam or by the Ruttan system. The jani-
tor OF the Humboldt school was discharged
and Anton Nathhelfer, Jr., was selected to
iill the vacancy. The architect was in
structed to draw plans of the addition to
Rice school. The Fuller and Warren fur
naces were accepted and the bills ordered
paid, and the bill for the Palace King was
ordered paid in two-thirds of the amount,
the balance to wait until the guarantee is
complied with.
