Buildings has rejected all bids on the con-
struction of the proposed boiler engine and
pump house at the home of the deaf and

by the board on account of misunderstand-
ing as to whether the contract for the con-
structon of the house included the brick
work around the boilers. The specifications
the bidders held, indicated that the work
was not included, but was to be done by the
parties who set the boilers in place. AS
the approprlaulon OF Shioo Waue no extra
provision for the work, all bids were re-
jected by general consent with the UNDER
standing that they should, be changed to
include the brick work. The board will
meet again Monday afternoon to consider
the bids.
The members of the Board of Public Lands
and Buildings have as yet done nothing in
the way of examining the different houses
offered to the state for q governors man
