Topeka School Buildings to be

Vided For.

Contractors Furnish Lively
Competition in Bidding.

At the special meeting of the school
board last night, contracts amounting
to IS, 900 for repairs were awarded Con-
tracts for new buildings were also
awarded The total amount OF the
awards was SIS. $50.
BY the time of the opening Of school
in September the school buildings Of
Topeka will be in much better condi-
ton than they have been for many
years. Many of the buildings have be-
come dingy and dull inside and out for
want of paint.
The efforts of the Federated Women's
clubs in furnishing several school rooms
in the city with wall paper and pictures,
together with the fact that the last
legislature made a law allowing a spec
ial levy of three mills possible for build
ing and repairs has caused the board to
believe that better quarters make bet
ter students.
The school rooms will be frightened
by wall paper, paint, varnish, kalsomine
and by having walls and woodwork
cleaned. On the exterior the buildings
will be repainted and repaired
The Polk and Euclid schools will be
repaired and have additions.
Bids for the work were opened and
from the figures submitted the board
believes the contractors are 4ILeT WOTk
The Euclid addition will be two rooms
and the Polk addition four rooms The
following bids were received:
