Contractors for the New High School
Building and Trustees
at Odds.
The Former Have Put In a Claim
for Over $4,000 Ad-
ditional.
A Committee Does Not Think Over One
Fer Cent. Of That Amount
Is Really Due.

The school trustees of the Helena district,
and 8. +. WhAlsn and j. 5. Grant, the con-
tractors for the new high sch0O1 building,
are at odds over u big bill for extras-S23.-
b84. 9S-presented by the latter, and it looks
as though the matter would not be settled
outside of the courts. Some weeks ago the
contractors presented their bill for extras
to the amount stated, and 1t was referred to
a committee of the board, consisting Of w.
H. Guthrie, Jacob Walker and s. w. Lang
horne. Tho committee looked into the
matter, and the result was the following re-
port:
"The bill il not itemixed sufficiently for
your committee to form an exact estimate
of what should be due the contractors; but
it il ths opinion of your committee after
examining the bill as rendered and con-
sulting the plans aud specifications with
reference thereto, that the district does not
legitimately owe them moro than one pei
cent Of their bill as rendered. How
ever, before final action be taken We
recommend that they be required ia
furnish an itemized and detailed
account, showing when and where
such extra labor. material, etc., has been
used or required" This was communicated
to the contractors. with q request for more
definite information about the work and
who ordered it.
On July 2S the contractors replied: I'VE
respectfully state that under date of July II
We gave you a full, concise, itemized state.
ment Of the claim on extras for which WI
demanded payment; and it il simply absurd
under existing circumstance that with thu
opportunity you have for = personal inspec'
ton of the building, as the same has beer
and Is now progressing, to ask for a NOR,
definite statement than we have already
given. and We respectfully request that on
bid as heretofore presented have your atten.
ton and payment without further delay"
The 1temized statement of July IL was al
foll0wa.

CAUGHT HOLD OF A LIVE WIRE.

Serious Accident to y hoy on the Line of
the Electric Road.
A live wire hanging where it had no bust
ness to be and a party of boys playing with
the dangerous thing caused what was u
serious accident and what might have been
a fatal one on Wednesday evening. Where
the electric motor line makes q turn from
Benton avenue into Hollins avenue tho
poles at the curve are strongly braced so as
to stand tho strain. On Wednesday even
ing one of the pull-back wires was dangling
down to the ground. Three boys, Everett
frankie Bingham, about the same age, were
playing in the neighborhood of the curve,
which is near their homes. They began daring
each other to touch the wire hanging down..
Everett Macdonald touched it with his
right hand. 1t was heavily charged, and
found that the current held him and
caused his hand to close around the wire.
The next moment he was thrown down and
jerked about on the mass OF wire coiled on
the ground. His little companions took
hold of the boy and tried to pull him
loose, but they received such a shook that
they were compelled to let go. The boy
among the wire, when he was finally thrown
loose. Neighbors who had been attracted
by the cries of his companions, assisted
the injured boy to the home of his mother,
Mrs. Joseph Macdonald, $40 Hollins ave-
nue., where medical assistance was sum
moned. HIS right hond was terribly
burned aid scared, and he may
loose the use of one finger.
The left hand and tho right leg were also
burned where he had been thrown against
the wire. Yesterday he was sufficiently i'm
proved to be out Of bed, though both hands
are useless to him at present. The resi-
dents of the nsiRhbordood severely con-
denim the company for allowing such q
dangerous wire to lie within reach of any
body. The explanation offered is that the
rain Wednesday afternoon completed 6
circuit between the guy and trolley wirei
and thence through the hanging wire to the
ground. The escape of Everett Macdonald
from instant death with a full current Of
electricity running through him is some
thing little short of miraculous.

State Board of Equalization.

"~S
This board is composed of Gov. Toole,
Secretary of State Rotwitt, Treasurer Hick-
man, Auditor Kinney and Attorney General
Haskell. It has been in session for several
days considering assessments on the thirty
different railroa lines running within the
state. When these assessments have been
fixed the board will apportion them to the
different counties, cities, towns townships,
and school district. The board will also
equalize the assessment of mortgages,
deeds of trust, contracts or other cbliga-
tions by which a debt is secured, and which
affects property situated in two or more
counties, and apportion the assessment to
each of the counties.
Under the revenue law the board can re-
main in session until the third Monday in
August, and later if necessary. During
these meetings it may increase or lower an
entire assessment roll, exclusive of money
or the total value of real estate or improve
ments, SO as to equalize the assessment OF
| the property and make the assessment con-
form to the true value in money of the
! property assessed.
When the equalization among the sew.
eral counties is completed the board will
send to each county clerk a statement o.
changes made by the board in the assess
ment books, and the amount to be deduct
ed or added.

The board will refuse to pay the bill for
extras on the ground that no such amount
is due. They admit that there is some
thing owing for preparations for the corner
stone laying, and something for extra
painting, but the latter item they declare to
be too much for what was done. The
largest item is for changing rubble masonry
to rag rustic. This, the board contends, is
not correct. Thew say the specifications
called for a granite with surface projec-
ton and irregular joints. The contractors
laid a sample, but as it was not just what
was wanted, Superintendent Williams had
it torn down n built according to the
plans. The other items the board disputes
almost in toto.
The extras already allowed the contract
ors arc as follows: Foundation, SIS, 1875. rs;
slate roof, (ohsnged from shingles) g., 1856;
crestinR for roof, $785: copper cornice.
