ond ward in which he was the demo
cratic candidate for election to the
school board last fall, he urged that
the board draw up close specifica-
tions, and holding all bidders to
those Specifications, award the con-
! tracts to the lowest bidders. Presi-
dent Walker and Commissioner Crow

desks, the samples are the only spec
I ifications.
Motion to Award to Kellogg.
AT this point Mr.. Crowell repeated
the now time-worn motion to award
the heating and sanitary contract to
n. S. Kellogg for $740. 1t was de-
clared that Mr.. Sturn's motion to
publish the bids was still before the
house, but as it had not been second
ed yet, President Walker gave prece-
dence to Mr.. Crowell's motion to
award kellogg the contract. The
vote on the latter motion evoked
ayes" from Messrs. Walker, Crow
ell and Peterson, and mays from
Messrs. Sturn, Moore and Masso-
pust.
Mr.. Sturn again moved to publish
the bids as they had been received.
Mr.. Walker said they could be pub
lished Just as they appear in the
minutes of the board.
we want to publish that Ameri-
can School Furniture bid with the
pencil marks through the original
figures" replied : Mr.. Sturn. Mr..
Walker said the bids could not leave
that copies could be taken. The mo-
tion was carried.
Motion to Adjourn.
Mr.. Sturn then moved to adjourn
until Monday night, and the motion
was seconded.
Its regularly moved and second
ed that we adjourn till IL o'clock
Mon" said Mr.. Walker.
Eight o'clock" MI. sturn cor
rected.
ooh, that's different. You didn't
mention any specific time" replied
the president.
Mr.. Crowell remarked that a spe-
cial meeting cannot be adjourned IN
til a later date, and the motion
was ruled out. A motion to
adjourn was then offered by Mr..
Sturn and was carried unanimously.
Throughout the meeting of an
hour frequent statements were de-
MED, relative to alleged declarations
by various of the members. The ne
cessity for the heating and s~anitaries
by September 10, when the schools
reopen, was urged by Mr.. Walker,
who said that seating provision could
be made, for every child if the heating
and sanitaries were in place.
Then what Is the use of buying
any neW fHrpiture?" i%nterposed Mr..
Moore. mi TWalker stated that the
school D addition cannot be
ready this NeaB and that it would
be an easy matter to provide seats in
the two rooms at No. 2.
Regarding Mr.. Moore's statement
that the furniture to be bought is fol
only ten rooms, Mr.. Walker said that
that made no difference to him.
ut would be the same with me il
it were only ten desks or whether il
was for ten whole schools he con
cluded.
81 believe that, all right" retorted
Mr.. Moore.
Taxpayers Were Present.
Following the meeting, the sam
pie desks were viewed in the high
school corridor by the members Of
the bOafp and audience. Two tax
payers said thatAthe Wolff desk was
good ehough in their opinion and
should be bought because 1t costs
less.
