dition that a man was able to put his
foot through the floor, the boards being
$50 rotten, and in one school the closets
were so dirty because of needed re-
pairs that the neighborhood complain
ed about them.

force the board to have the nuisance
abated. If the members did not take
action themselves. The work was left
to the committee on repairs with power
to act and they will get bids.
Mr.. Sullivan stated to the board that
$4,000 would be necessary to put the
school buildings in proper condition.
THE board tried to keep down ex-
lpenses as much as possible and also
Ito have the repairs that were abso-
llutely necessary done. but with their
