TOO HOT FOR MUCH BUSINESS
Board of Education Holds n Meet
ana, but Accompanies
Small Results.

With the temperature OF the board room
close up to the century mark the members
of the Board Of Education were not much
in the humor to transact business and action
on a number of matters was deferred until
some night when the thermometer will be
lower.
An echo OF the old High school site
controversy was heard in the shape Of a
communication from Contractor Wickham
asking the board to take some action on
his bill OF sss2.S6 for grading the property
on Oakland avenue at one time selected as
the location OF the new High school build
ing. Jacob Sims, then president Of the
board was authorized at a meeting on April
IL, 1899, to contract with wickham for the
grading OF the property provided he Sims
was satisfied the title to the ground was
good. Mr.. Sims investigated the title,
found In his opinoin that the title was good
and awarded the contract to wickham, who
graded the property. Later proceedings
were brought to restrain the district from
building the High school on Oakland avenue
and after considerable litigation the school
was built on the Street property in another
part OF the city. Wickham's bill for the
grading has bobbed up at intervals, but the
board never took any action on 1t. It was
disposed of last night by being rejected, the
board being Of the opinion that the courts
should settle the matter.
Chairman German Of the committee on
fuel and heating made an exhaustive report
on the condition Of the heating plants and
boilers in the different school buildings, but
the board decided that 1t was too warm a
subject to discuss and action as to ordering
the needed repairs was deferred. German
reported that the contract for installing
the heating plant at the Avenue B school
had been awarded to Stephan Bros. He
stated that in order to avoid advertlsing
for bids the work had been divided into
three separate contracts, each being under
$500, over which amount the board by law
is compelled to advertise for bids. The
aggregate Of the contracts amounted to
$755. 1911
Owing to the absence Of Chairman Cooper
Of the committee on buildings and grounds
no action vas taken in the matter Of piac-
ing the Harrison street school building In
a safe condition. President Sargent an
nounced he would call a special meeting for
this purpose.
The awarding Of the contract for the
plumbing and heating for the addition to the
Pierce street school was also deferred.
Wickham's bond and contract for the
Pierce street school addition was approved
and the president and secretary authorized
to sign the contract under which Contractor
Wickham has until October I to complete
the building.
