The committee from Ward One made the
following report, which was accepted
The sum Of 500 was appropriated for per
| manent repairs on the South Primary build
ing, said repairs to include excavation for a
cellar under d portion of the building in
which to place furnace for heating all the
rooms, the construction of ntiating shafts,
the putting i'll of separate water closets for
boys and girls, etc. Plans and specifications
| were prepared and tenders invited from To-

rison & Mcdonald, and the contract was
awarded to them at S527.

for this work was S27 80.
