~ which were offered for the definite purpose of
occurring the necessary funds with which TO
meet the expenses of the school system Many
OF the schools found last spring to be IN
poor sanitary condition. and contracts were
given out through the School Building Depart
ment for the necessary repairs and improve
ments which were to be made during the sum-
ner vacation, and the buildings made readv
for occupancy by the time the new school year
