seph Pyle reported that the plasterers
were at work.
The committee had concluded to
award the contract for supplying
desks to the Grand Rapids Company.
Dr. Shortlidge moved to amend by re-
commanding the purchase of the An
ldrews' desk.
MIR. Pyle said the Michigan desk was
much the stronger and better, and the
automatic arrangement of the seats
was preferable to the Andrews seat,
which had to be raised by baud when
scholar stood up or left the seat.
d.. Shortlidge strongly advocated
tho Andrews desll, and went so far US
as to intimate that Mr.. Pyle had a per-
sonal interest in them. Mr.. Pyle with
some degree of warmth denied tho
Insertion.
!, Mr.. Trump was inclined to the old
desk, but when Mr.. Pyle told him the
new one was guaranteed for ten years,

lof building two water closets at No.
10 school and draining into Orange
street sewer would cost $1,000. To
.Islmply drain tho wells would cost
1915. He moved that tho committee
be instructed to have the work done.

tho sewers.
