To the Hon. Board OF Education:
Gentlemen-Your committee would re-
spectfully beg leave TO report that they |
found II necessary to make the following |
repairs, which they have ordered done
In as economical manner as possible: |
At the Baldwin, to repair leak on roof
and outside steps and calcimine inside OF
building; at the Lockwood, small repairs
on plastering and new floor; and water
at the Garfield; and at the Franklin,
doors and sash and cupola reprinted.
closets repaired and some glass reset In
windows; at the Cass, sidewalks repaired
Jefferson, outside OF building repainted
and some caloimining In one room; at
the Obed Smith, some repairs on roof,
and outside steps repaired and painted,
ana some glass In windows. A good
many other improvements should be made
as soon as the funds would warrant--espec-
tally grading the grounds, as the winds
keep scooping the sand until eventually
the buildings will be undermined, and also
that as soon as practicable, water closets
be put in at all the buildings, as 1t costs
more to clean those filthy places from
year to year than it would to have those
water closets put In in the first place; be-
sides the sanitary condition In the vicinity
would be greatly improved. And your
committee would further recommend
that the following persons be employed
as janitors at the different schools for the
ensuing year, as follows:
John Wiseman at the Baldwin William
Hatton at the Lockwood, Mrs. Jugeborg
Mathison at the Garfield, Richard Man.
ming at the Franklin, Mrs. Ann Jesekel
at the Cass, Mrs. Cooper at the Obed
Smith, Mrs. Macarthur at the jefferson,
Robert Reyes with Mrs. Anderson as
assistant at the Central.
