TEACHERS EMPLOYED AND RE
PORTS RECEIVED.

The board of education met both in
committee of the whole and regular open
meeting last evening and transacted con
siderable business in addition to receiv-
ing reports from Professor Cooper,
Treasurer Barnett. Clerk Moreton and
the finance committee. The most sisnifi-
cant thing done was the throwing out o.
the bids put in for the construction Of
the State street school building and the
return to the bidders of their certified
checks.
The bids were considered too high One
was from W. J. Tuddenham for Sl2.Z65,
and the other from the Salt Lake Build
ing company for S94. 759 These bids in
Cluded only the superstruCture from the
concrete floor up. and did not include
any interior finish or plasteTing. The
excavation and the concrete foundation
nave already cost 5000 and with SUCH
figures as those submitted last evening
the board saw that the building com
pleted would cost close to $4,000 or
twice what it was planned to expend on
il. On motion Of Mr.. GiaUqUe, the chair
man of the building committee. both bids
turned Other bids will be asked for.

Alean D. Gray was originally on the
list of assistant teachers but Mr.. Critch-
low raised the point that her name had
not been considered in the committee,
and an investigation developed the fact
that she was classed as having had no
experience when il was known that she
had taught in Salt Lake before Her
name was eliminated for future consider
alton, and the balance of the list was
confirmed.
The matter of the model school room
to be fitted up by the educational section
of the Ladies Literary club came UP on
the request of Mr.. Critchlow for infOrma-
ton; ii was discussed at some length
and finally referred to the committee on
buildings and grounds with instructions
to confer with the ladies to determine
just what was wanted, and with power
to act and grant the request if cOnsid-
cred wise
The treasurer's report for July was
submitted, showing s133.15 received dur
ing the month and an Overdraft of
500 1885 at the close. This report was
referred back for amendment, as il did
not take into account the note OF $4,000
made BY the officers Of the board. which
amount. it was held, should be deducted
from the amount of the OveTdraft.
The annual report of President New
man of the committee on buildings and
