To the Board of Education.
Your Committee Oh Fuel and JAM
tors has the honor to report as follows:
The services of John Kirschbaum,
night fireman at the High school, have
been discontinued since the Dist of
March last, since which time his name
was dropped from the pay roll.
We have accepted the resignation of
Louis p. Hansen as janitOr of the Ram
sey school, to take effect from the first
day of April last. and recommend the
appointment of E. l.. Truax to fill the
vacancy appointment to date from
April II last at the schedule salary.
Wehave also accepted the resignation
of Frank Goss, as janitor of the Hen
bricks school. and have appointed Will
lam SchmOtter in his place at the sched
ule salary. Resignation and new ap-
pOintment to date from the LIST inst
We recommend that the sum of s. per
month be allowed and paid to the JAM
tor of the Sibley school for taking care
| Of the extra room used as an annex to
| said school, OH Margaret street, such
allowance to date from the first day of
| April last, and to continue during the
occupancy of such annex as public
school room.
Calling attention to the fact that the
Van Buren, building is now practically
occupied to its maximum capacity of
eighteen class rooms, besides the smaller
rooms used for Offices; that the heating
plant consists of ten furnaces and three
stack heaters, requiring constant atten-
ton when in use, and that the proper
care of the rooms and of the extern
sive school site, covering an entire
block of ground, with grass plats,
shrubbery, trees, approaches and
walks, involves greater amount of
labor than the regular janitor alone can
properly perform, we recommend that
the position of assistant janitor, hereto
fore temporarily filled during portion
of tho year, be made permanent at sal
airy of S45 per month; that John Klein,
the present assistant, he relieved from
duty, and that Charles Johnson. late
janitor at the Longfellow, be assigned
to duty as assistant janitor at the Van
Buren,, to date from the Sth inst. All
of which is respectfully submitted with
the request that you approve our action
and confirm the appointments.

From the Committee on Real Estate
ST. PAUL, Mimi, May 6, 1889.
To the Board of Education.
Your Committee on Real Estate
would report general progress on all
matters referred to us by the Board at its
last executive session. and full COM
pliance with all Of the instructions re-
ceived. The work of constructing the
retaining walls is we'll under way, the
purchase of the new sites authorized to
be secured is nearly perfected; and pro-
posals for the erection of the various
new school buildings have been sOlic-
tied as required, the time for their re-
ception having expired at noon Of this
day.
In connection with the matter of new
buildings about to be erected, and in
view Of the great Importance of the in
terests therein involved, we deem it
necessary to place the supervision of
the contract work in charge of an eX-
pert and thoroughly competent agent;
and we therefore ask for authority to
select and appoint Superintendent of
Building Construction, at a salary not to
exceed 1925 per month. his appoint
ment to date from the day of his as
signment to duty, and to continue dur
committee, from which committee such
superintendent is to receive his full in
structiOns, and under whose immediate
charge such official is placed.
In view of the fact that our carpenter
in charge of repairs, Mr.. RaysOn, is fire.
quently required to visit the various
school buildings in the performance of
his duties, necesSitating the expenditure
of considerable money for car fare and
other incidentalS, we recommend that
he be paid at the rate Of SS3.S3H per
month, to date from April l last. We
also recommend the acceptance of the
plans prepared by Charles T. Mould,
architect, for school building to he
erected on the site purchased in Day
toms addition for the relief of the
Franklin building, and ask that our ac-
ton be approved and that the Secretary
be authorized and instructed to adver-
tise for proposals tor the erection of
such new building, after notification by
us. Very respectfully,
CHAs. L. HAAS, Chairman.
