CARB0NDALE.
SCHOOL BOARD CONVENE.
a. Important Meeting Held with Much
Busiuesy Transacted.

~ Important Meeting Held win Muen
Business Transacted.
All the members Of the school board
were present at the usual meeting OF
that body. A great deal OF business
was considered and discussed.
Treasurer McMullen asked the atten-
tion Of the board to matter which II
was his duty to perform, hut on which
he wished the sanction of the board. He
had received several letters from the
United States Furnishing company IN
regard to signing q contract for desks.
Mr.. McMullen does not want to sign the
contract as they have already violated
one which he had made. In this the
company agreed to pay $40 for teachers
desks and $2.10 for seats. However.
when the bill was presented 1t was TOO
large and 1t was found that $l3 had
been charged for the desks and 50 for
the seats.
Several bills were presented and or
dered paid by the board. The bill OF A.
w. Reynolds for books and supplies
was not paid. 1t amounted to nearly
500 and as soon as the secretary has
found 1t to be correct will be paid.
A bid was sent in by Sylvester Sears
for hauling coal from the Delaware and
Hudson chutes to the central building
for 20 cents per ton. AS arrangements
had already been made with a cartman
this was not considered.
The school house in the annexed dis
trict has been used as polling place
and considerable talk was indulged
upon by the board in regard to this
subject. Heretofore two rooms have
been used. one for the voting and the
other by the loafers as a place to con-
gregate. This has been very Objec-
tionable feature and all the rooms ex-
cept the one in which the voting took
place were ordered locked. The board
does not like to have the school used as
a polling place. but there is no other
place in the district. A petition for the
erection of a polling booth was circu-
lated, but the situation of the booth
could not be decided upon so 1t fell
through. A resolution was passed that
the court be petitioned to have the poll
ing place removed from the school prop
erty
The state appropriation was also re-
ported received. 1t is the same amount
az last year.
