ed by Day Cost Less Than the
Lowest Contract Bid-Dedication
Exercises This Evening.

The Mathewson public school building
erected By the city Of Barre on Elm
street, near the junction Of Summer
street and Eastern Avenue, was thrown
open for public inspection this after
noon, aud from two o'clock large mum
ber OF people examined the structure.
On every side there was favorable com
ment ON the building itself aud its equip
ment. This evening the exercises Of
dedication will be held, and at the same
time q reception will be given in the

be o large attendance Of citizens Of

interested in educational work in other
parts Of the state have signifed their
intention of being present. The public
school teachers and school commissioners
have charge Of the days arrangements.
The Cost of the Building.
The building cost 45,62034, some
what lower than the first estimates.
Orders already drawn for payment
amount to S42,43s.07. The commission
ers advertised for bids on the wood
work at the start Of the work, and the
lowest responsible bid was $26,9S9. This
was rejected as already stated and the
construction was undertaken by the COM
missioners by the day. The result is
that the work has been done and con
siderably more, with the cost less than
the lowest bid The additional work
done includes the finishing off OF two
school rooms in the basement, the add
ing of two extra storerooms in the at
tic, the raising of the walls several
courses Of brick, the raising Of the pitch
Of the roof five feet, and lot Of minor
details such as putting in the umbrella
and rubber racks, the bulletin boards.
etc. a conservative cost of the addi-
tions il ST 900. The only change from
the first specifications is that copper
is replaced By iron on some parts OF
the roofing.
The city saved over one thousand and
probably near two thousand dollars IN
the construction, by rejecting the bids
and doing the work by the day. and it
has d better building in addition.
