The Bids for New Supplies
Opened Yesterday
DIRECTOR GRUBB OBJECTS
Thinks the School Board Should
Award Contracts
The School Site for the Third Ward Is Finally
Selected and the chiIds Property
Not Chosen


before the adjourned meeting OF the
council yesterday. The recomm enc dation
of the board OF education that the lot on
the west side of Olive street. between
Fourth and Third streets. in the Belle
vue Terrace tract. be purchased for the
purpose alta cost of $4,000, brought the
matter to an issue. A delegation favor
ing the Child's property on Pearl street,
near Fifth, for the purpose, was on hand
to protest against the selection proposed
by the board of education. Attorney
Will D. Gould made an argument for the
Childs lots. and School Director Simon
ton told why he advocated against the
Bellevue Terrace lots, and Directors Pit
man. Grubb and Kennedy pointed out
the advantages of the boards selections.
The principal argument for the site
| selected was that it would relIevs the
pressure for school room in the Spring
| street school. Councilman Munson, who
represents the ward where the trouble ex-
lists, after explaining that he was entirely
willing to be guidei by the school board
in tho matter, moved that the recon.
mendation of the board IN the premise
be adopted, which motion prevailed.
The following proposals to furnish
! school supplies were opened and referred
to the special committee on bull dings
and equipping the various new school
houses
