mitted Sept 1, 1890, we offered Streator
coal at $500 per ton to be delivered by
Oct. Is. 1890, within the limit of the
number of tons of coal called for by the
specification. We have meanwhile
learned that you have a supply on
hand to last for about thirty days and
no storage capacity for any large
amount OF coal at present.
We expect you to take advantage of
our bid for lower price before Oct. Is,
1899, for considerable amount of coal,
and made the price in good faith. With
out making any change in our bid we
desire to say that we can give the adj
vantage offered by furnishing storage to
the amount of 1000 tons without
charge, so that, as to the amount of
coal, you will he in as good position as
though your own storage room WAS
available. This we will do if you may
desire it. and we may add that we shall
at all times take pleasure in rendering
you any accommodation in our power
II the contract for furnishing coal shall
be awarded to us. Yours very truly.
SHADLE & ACKER COAL Co.
GEORGE 5. ACKER. Manager.
This to our mind simply means that
Messrs. Shade and Acker expected to
be called upon to furnish that amount
of coal at least by Oct. Is, at the lowest
rate named, and take this means of
proving it, and we urge the Board to
take advantage of it. Respectfully
submitted, j. j. MERRILL,

From Inspector Foley, Chairman Com
mittee on Fuel and Janitors
ST. PAUL, Mimi, Oct. 6, 1890.
To the Board Of Education.
GENTLEMEN: The Chairman of your
Committee on Fuel and Janitors would
respectfully report the receipt of two
bids for supplying fuel to the public
schools for the ensuing year, to which
your attention is solicited, as they ap-
pear to be the lowest bids received.
In recommending the award of the con-
tract to the Shade & Acker Coal COM
pany the majority of the committee had
to assume that there would be needed
900 tons soft coal prior to Oct. Is,
whereas such supply will certainly not
be required before that date.
Respectfully submitted,
ID. E. FOLEY, Chairman.
Also, presenting the bids referred to,
viz, those of John Dowlan 81 Sons and
the Lehigh Coal and Iron Company.
After the reading of the various re-
ports, Inspector Wright stated that as
most of the members of the Board had
been given insufficient time in which
to investigate the matter. and enable
them to vote intelligently upon it, he
offered the following:
By Inspector Wright
Resolved, That the Secretary be in
structed to prepare tabulated state
ment of bids already received for fur
nishing fuel for the schools for the en-
suing year, and that a copy be fur
nlshed each inspector. and that the con-
sideration of the bids be postponed to
an adjourned meeting, to be held at the
call of the President; and that. until
the contract is awarded, no purchase of
fuel be made by the Board of Educa-
ton.
Inspector Heineman moved that the
date of the adjourned meeting be fixed
for Oct. at 1880 p. m.
The vote being on the resolution as
amended resulted in its adoption by
Yeas-lnspectors Croonquist, Foley,
PoStlethwaite, ROdger, Wright and Mr..
