Buildings Ready for OCCUPANCY.
The work of repairing the public school
buildings Of the District, which was begun
as soon as the schools were dismissed for
the summer, is rapidly nearing completion.
During the time specified total of nearly
$4,000 has been expended for this pur-
pose and every one Of the 115 buildings
used for school purposes in the District
has been more or less improved.
This work has been done under the per-
sonal direction of G.. B. Coleman super
irtendent of repairs for the District and an
inspection of the various buildings shows
them to be all in first-class condition and
ready for the reception of pupils Monday
next. when the winter term begins.
Every character of repair work has been
done. Eighty thousand feet of new floor
ing have been laid; new boilers for heating
have been placed in the Central High
School, well in the Garnet Henry,
Peabody, Lincoln. Force, Curtiss and JEFF
ferson school buildings. The cost of re-
pairs in the various structures has varied
from $40 to 1890. Painting. granting var
nishing or calcimining has been done lib
orally, and some of the older buildings
which have not been given a general over
hauling for years present an appearance of
| newness both inside and out. by reason of
the new floors and the paint.

accomplished in ark one year in the past,

| clpal have not been fully met by reason
| of the limit Of the appropriation to $4,000
| More than this sum was asked for car
penter work alone. Each requistion was
| examined by Mr.. Coleman, and the i'm
| proyements to be made outlined SO as
/ to come within the limit of the available
| funds and work which was not absolutely
| necessary was not undertaken. Over one
