OLD DESKS FOR SALE.
Board of Education Has Thousand
to Dispose Of

The Topeka board of education met last
evening in the high school building for the
purpose of overcoming the difficulty en-
countered in the signing of the contracts
for the new school desks. AS there is no
appropriation for the desks under the
present levy, it was found that it would
be illegal to sign the contracts before next
month, so this will be done. The board
has 900 old school desks for sale. They
have sent out / 400 circulars advertising
the desks, but as yet offers have not been
made. The new desks will arrive within
a few weeks and will be set up in the
school rooms most needing them.
The board owns three lots on Kansas
avenue which were purchased few years
ago for $500 each. An offer has been re-
ceived of 81, 200 for one of the lots, which
will be accepted.
