The following important report was

Your committee on furniture, repairs,
fuel and building supplies respectfully re-
ports as follows:
1.-THE board recently adopted resolu-
ton authorizing the publication of list
of the supplies mentioned in existing con-
tracts, specifying the items, quantities
and prices. In preparing for the printer
list of the supplies coming under the
jurisdiction of this committee, we. have
| found considerable number of articles
likely to be purchased by this board which
are not included in any contract. We have
prepared and will place on file with the
secretary schedules of these articles, and
we recommend that the board authorize
the committee to advertise for bids for
the articles specified in said schedules,
and to provide for the execution of the
contracts for such supplies for the re-
mainder of the year ending June 80. 1898.
live also find that the contract for
hardware and plumbing materials Of date
August 3, 1897, was awarded to the w. G..
Furrey company, a corporation. We find
that the said corporation expired by linn
itation Of time and ceased to exist on the
9th day of October, 1897, and we are of the
opinion that there is now no existing CON-
tract for hardware and plumbing materi-
ais. We therefore recommend that this
committee be authorized to file with the
secretary specifications for hardware and
plumbing materials. and to advertise for
bids for the year ending June 80, 1885,
Hive further recommend that this
committee be authorized to purchase and
have set UP In the assembly room Of this
