pete Biographies, instead OF Buffers.
All other books, the terms Of which
expired, were readopted for a term of
three years.
The books displaced and the new
books adopted are published by Butler,
Sheldon e Co. The contracts were duly
signed by the officers of the board.
The supply committee reported hav-
ing awarded the contract for supplies to
M. j. Geary, Of Wilkesbarre.
1t was decided that the chair appoint

the township. The assignment follows:

ed at the different buildings was dis
cussed, and no definite information

point Tuesday, and all members are to
be requested to be on hand, to drive
around the township on visit of in
spection.
Director Dudley called the attention
of the board to mistake In the salary

the lowest presented by eight dealers.
The building committee was instruct
ed to have broken panes replaced in the
Daniel Coke building. The directors
propose to take action against persons
who tresspas upon the school grounds or

buildings is reported having been done
by ball-players and loiterers.
The practice of storing vehicles on
the South Washington street lot was
called to the directors attention, and
the president was notified to order the
owners to remove the same without
