 Desks for the Schools.
 One of the matters named in the call for the special meeting was the con sideration of a report from the School Committee on the bids for supplying the city with school and teachers desks.
 Alderman Gunter. Chairman of the School Committee. said that his com mittee had gone carefully over the bids which had been submitted, but had found that they could not secure an in- telligible understanding of them be- cause of discrepancies and the failure of some of the bidders to send in cuts of the furniture they proposed. The had therefore found 1t nec- essary to ask the Council to throw out all bids and instruct the City Treasurer to ask for a new set. He explained that all those who had submitted bids ships would be worked. The Council then formally adopted the committees 
 The Street Committee was not ready with It's reports, a matter which was one of the items that was contained In the call and the Council was about to adjourn In record breaking time. But Alderman Sullivan had something else he wanted attended to; When he had received the call, Alderman Sullivan had so amended 1t that 1t called for the consideration of a report from the Fire Committee. Acting President Forbes explained that the call could not be legal unless the Council unan- Imously endorsed the amendment. He asked If it was the pleasure of the Council to do that.
