Education Has Saved

MAY HAYE MORE DECEMBER /
Summer Supply Stopped and
Great Outlay Pre-
vented.

Education, has accomplished a feat un-
precedented in the history Of the Board
IN relation to the coal supply for the var
lous schools of the. city. The announce
ment is made that the committee will
have balance of s2,205. or more at the
end OF the fiscal year, which terminates
on December l.
This statement causes much surprise in
view of the fact that heretofore the ap-
preparation has invariably been exceeded
The members of this committee are Wal
ter K. BirdsallP. ]. Kennedy and Charles
.. Barker. All of them are enthusiastic
over their record and feel proud of their
achievement Heretofore the contractors
were allowed to put coal in the schools
In the summer months, with the result
that the money set aside for fuel was
overdrawn.
This year matters were changed some
what. The directors sent word to the
various principals requesting them to
compile report of the coal on hand and
the amount that would be required up to
december l. In the meantime the con-
tractor was ordered to stop delivering un-
I'll ordered to stop delivering until given
orders from the committee. The fol-
lowing report of the coal on hand and
that necessary for the remaining months
OF the fiscal year was compiled from the
statements of all the principals
