From the Committee on Real Estate
ST. PAUL, Mimi, July %, 1888.
To the Honorable the Board of Educa-
ton:
Your Committee on Real Estate begs
leave to report as follows, viz:
First-We regard the settlement of
the bill of extras to the contract of A.
G. Desparois, made by our predecessors
of this committee and of the Board. as
final, and hence recommend that the
request of the contractor referred to US,
to reconsider what he himself aSSented
and consented to, be not complied with,
and that no further action in the matter
be taken.
Second-It appearing, that the same
contractor, A. g. DesparoiS, has not COM
piled with the conditions of his contract
for the construction of the Mcclellan"
school building at Comoville, leaving
portions of the work undOne and certain
specifications and directions uncOmplied
with; also absenting himself with all
of his help and abandoning his said
uncompleted undertaking to whom it
may concern without formally turning
it over to the Board or any of its repre-
SentatlveS, we recommend that the
Board serve legal notice upon said con-
tractor and his bOndsmen, through the
Corporation Attorney, to forthwith pro-
coed to the performance of his contract
and complete the same within reason
able time, say within two weeks from
the date of the notice, falling in which,
the Board will cause said work to be
done, and necessary material to he fur
saving itself harmless for these and any
further expenditures caused by the dere-
LECTION of said contractor out of the final
estimate not yet allowed, and payment
of which is still pending.
Third-On the matter OF securing GER
tain lots of Mr.. McMurran at Lake Park
addition, we report progress and ask for
further time to make complete report.
FOurth-On the matter of leasing the
old ''Longfellow" school and using the
same for school purposes pending the
erection OF the new building, we recon-
mend that the memorandum of agree
ment heretofore entered into by Mr..
Rumble and the secretary of this Board
be accepted and by the Board ratified.
Fifth-On the matter of securing an
additional lot for the enlargement of the
Longfellow school grounds we would
report that we deem it advisable that
this be done; that a suitable lot can be
obtained, and we recommend that this
committee, together with the proper
officers, be authorized to enter into ne
gotiatiOn and complete the purchase of
said lot at an expense not to exceed
$1,000; provided, that payment be made
when there shall be money in the treas
ury applicable for such purpose, inter-
est at z per cent per annum to be al
lowed on deferred payments from the
date of the approval of full and clear
Corporation Attorney.
SiXth-Knowing of the defects of a
number of the heating plants in some of
the older buildings, as also their great
lack of proper ventilation, and recognize
ing the necessity of taking remedial
action, we have given this matter our
earnest attention and find that it were
poor policy to patch up and tinker the
old furnaces, which have about filled
their measure of utility; that this plan
would still leave the vital question of
proper ventilation unsettled, and be but
temporary ''makeshIft," causing also
continued .proportionately exorbitant
expense for the cOStlieSt kind of fuel.
when under different conditions more
than One-third of the sum could be
saved, which the fuel record will fully
and amply prove and corroborate. We
have, therefore, invited and considered
certain propositions from the "Ruttan
Warming and Ventilating company"
with view of satisfactorily and def
nitely dispOsing of this overcoming
question, and earnestly recommend the
acceptance of the said propositions, to
the end that the buildings named
be permanently improved, heated and
ventilated as will be to the interest of the
Board and those under its charge, all in
accordance with the terms and guaran-
tees contained in the propositions here
with submitted (see files); and we fur
Their recommend that the proper officers
(under the direction of this committed be
and are hereby authorized and instructed
to prepare the necessary bonds and en-
ter into contract to and with said ''Rut-
tan Warming and Ventiiating COM
pany" for the delivery of the materials
and the performance of the work speci-
fed in its propositions.
Seventh-Supplement to the forego-
ing we also recommend that the old
woodworking furnaces be removed from
the Webster building and replaced by
the two coal-burning "F. & w. No. 30O''
to be taken from the Rice school Tin ex-
cellent condition, but inadequate for
their present location) and that all of
the "hard coal burners remaining in
use, as also the steam plants, be thor
oughly cleaned and repaired as may be
necessary, under our direction.
Elghth-We have appointed Mr.. Jos.
NJ. Minor Superintendent of Building
Construction and Repairs at compen-
SatlOn of $40 per month, being the
amount heretofore paid him for the
same services, subject toyour approval,
and ask that our action be confirmed.
Very respectfully,
CAS-. l.. HAAS, Chairman.
The report having been read at
length, that portion embraced in sec
ton six, together with the propositions,
were considered in detail and every
feature of the same fully explained,
whereupOn the propositions were ac-
