From the Committee on Real Estate
ST. PAUL, Mimi, Sept. 10, 1888.
To the Board OF Education:
Your Committee on Real Estate begs
to report as follows:
First-After thorough inquiry and in
vestigation we find it necessary to
thoroughly drain and cement the base
ment of the Ramsey building at Macal-
ester Park before the same can be made
tenable pending the extension of the
sewerage system to that portion of the
city. We have, therefore, caused a
plan and specifications to be drawn for
the proper performance of this needed
improvement and have called for bids
hereunder. Mr.. j. Altman was
found to be the lowest responsible
bIdd er, who proposes to do the work
for the sum of S725, guaranteeing salts
factory results for the period of at least
one year, and we recommend that the
contract be awarded to him in accord
ance with the terms of his proposition,
and that the proper officers be and are
authorized to prepare and have eX-
ecuted the necessary contract Gn dupll-
cate) and bond.
SecOnd-We have authorized the firm
of Stockton u Lindquist to drain the
Van Buren, basement at cost of
S1O9.75.
Third-We have entertained propos-
ais for paving the Easements of the
Webster, Garfield and Lincoln build
ingS; Mr.. j. Altman being found to be
the OwestresponSible bidder. proposing
to do the work according to the specifi-
cations furnished, for the sum of 1923 at
the Webster: for S3l7 at the Garfield,
and for S34S at the Lincoln building, it
being understood and agreed that the
brick used is to be selected hard-burned
ChaSka brick, and we recommend that
such proposition be &C cepted and the
work done accordingly, under the SUI
perVislOn and direction of the Superin-
tendent of Building Construction and
Repairs.
FOurth-We report the impracticabil-
ity of moving the old Hancock building
on account of the objections raised by
the st. Paul, Minneapolis IL Manitoba
Railway, and the great attendant eX-
pense if the building were moved |
across the tracks by a different route
instead of by way of the bridge, and |
we now propose to carry out the orig |
inaI order, namely: to sell said build |
ing. and have it removed by the high |
est bidder.
Fifth-We have received, and submit |
herewith proposal from the johnson |
Electric Service company, for the intro |
ductiOn and complete operation of its |
plant to regulate and control the furnace |
heat in the new LongfellOw building; |
no payment to be due or made until the |
system has proved satisfactory to the |
Board after one full seasons trial; and |
we recommend that said proposal be |
accepted, and that the system be given |
a trial subject to this guarantee; also |
that the proper officers be instructed to |
have the necessary papers executed.
SiXth-The Committee on Schools, |
through its chairman, having reported |
that the overflow at the Cleveland build |
ing could not be provided for by a |
change of boundaries between said |
building and the Grant school, and hav- |
ing requested this committee to take |
such other necessary action as was in |
tended to be had by the Board, we in |
structed the proper officers to rent two |
store rooms on Arcade and Sims streets |
and to fit up the same for school pur
poses in primary work. In compliance |
Herewith these rooms have been Sc |
cured from Mr.. +. Fahey, through Mr.. |
Sandell, his agent, at a rental of $50 |
per month from the 18th inst, and |
have been properly and suitably |
furnished under our direction. |
In view of the fact that tine increase OF |
pupils at the Cleveland comes from the |
territory east of said building. and it |
being apparent that the erection of |
new building will be absolutely neces-
sary in the near future in the district |
thus temporarily provided for, we |
have advised the Superintendent to |
consider such temporary school not as |
an annex of the Cleveland, nor under |
the control or supervision of the Prin- |
cipal of said building, but rather as |
nucleus for a new school soon to be es-
tablished, which would naturally be in |
dependent of the Cleveland, and we |
recommend that such temporary school |
be known and designated as the " Ar
cade Street School"
Seventh-For the purpose of fully |
complying with the technicalities re- |
quired to be observed in a certified |
paper OF In6 DOdIu luJClCOu IOl HOSO-
tiation, we ask for the adoption of the
resolutions offered by this Committee |
herewith .(see resolutions); the pur-
chases therein referred to having al
ready been authorized by the Board in |
its adoption of our reports on the mat
ter at the meetings of July 20 and of |
Aug. 90 last past.
Respectfully submitted,
CHARLES l.. HAAS. Chairman.
The report having been read at |
length, it was moved that the same be |
adopted with the exception of the parts |
contained in sections fifth" and |
s'sixth" thereof.

That part of the report contained in |
section ''sixth'' coming up for action,
Inspector Dobner moved to adopt |
all of the first portion of said
section, down to and including
the words under our direction"
After discussion and debate, the |
question was called on the pending mo-
ton, when the same failed of adoption,
