policy is in the matter, when that
policy is determined upon.

men, The undersigned committee
appointed to investigate the subject
for the installation of heating appar,-
tus in the Wood county court house,
beg to report as follows:
They prepared specifications and
plans for the proposed apparatus and
addressed to two local companies and
to two outside companies.
We have received one bid by local
company on this work. amounting to
S14S5.00, and one bid by an outside
company for the same work, with some
difference in details, amounting to
$4,000. AS one of these bids were just

committee be appointed with the
necessary authority to proceed with
the improvements as soon as practic-
able, same not to cost any more than
the lowest bid. +. Z. ARPIN.
