Well, the day few by, just like IN
other plain. common, ordinary day.
We would nave liked to hold it back
a little while, SO much did we enjoy
ourselves, but Father Time paid no at
tention to our wishes. and here we
are. the day after, with a whole host
of pleasant recollections and f1attened
purses.
We never realize just where or how
the money goes when we are buying
Christmas presents. and 1t is with a
comical feeling of dismay that we
come to ourselves the morning after
the holiday. Not hat we would have
a single penny of it back-goodness
knows we purchased more thai our
moneys worth of happiness-but we
have a sort of feeling that for the next
few weeks we must be strictly eco
nomfcal to make ends come out even.
And we are going to enjoy that very
economy, for every time we find 1t
necessary to stint ourselves a little we
will just draw upon our fund of new
memories and recall the pleased smile
we brought to the faces we loved on
Christmas morning.
There is never a day in the whole
year so blessed as Christmas.
People come out of the shells of con-
ventionality n commit ~kindnesses
and unseltish actions. in which they
would defy their neighbors to catch
them at any other time. e
Thu letter man, the news carrier, the
grocer, the butcher and the baker all
come in for their share of generosity.
Everyone tries to Guido everyone else
in giving, and there is happiness every
where.
They say Christmas is the children's
own day, but that does not bar you

grown up as regards outward appear
We can be children to the end of the

NOT THROUGH YET
SCHOOLHOUSE COMMITTEE
MUST MEET AGAIN.
Members wrestle with Runyon & Carey
and Myers Bills-Pass on 18th
Avenue Addition.

When the schoolhouse committee of
the Board of Education met last night
it was to have been for the last time.
but before the meeting was yer it
was found it would be necessary to
meet again. Former City Attorney
Malcolm MacLear asked that the bill
of Runyon & Carey for drawing plans
for the heating and ventilating system
of the proposed technical high school
be paid.
The engineers drew plans for the work,
and when the bids were received 1t was
found that the work would cost SIS, 973,
and. figuring on a basis of ~ per cent,
Runyon & Carey presented a bill for
81, 97432, of which they received payment
of $1,000.
Mr.. ~McLear urged last night thai the
remainder of the bill be paid, on the
grounds the engineers were not responsible
for the fact that the bids on the plans
for the buildings exceeded the $400, 900 APP
preparation over $500, coo, as the committee
had hired Runyon & Carey the draw the
plans under the orders of Architect
Nahan Myers, and they, consequently,
were not responsible for the high bids,
acting merely as Myers servants, by order
of the committee.
COMMISSIONS John C. Eisele did not

department was about to institute pro-
ceedings against the arfhitect for The re-
covery Of money paid him for drawing
plans that could not be used he did not
see why th~e-engineers should be paid at
this time. He pointed out that If the
plans were cut so as to come within the
appropriation there would be a correspond
ing cut in the heating and ventilating sys-
tenn, and, figuring on payment by the per-
ccntage basis, the engineers, if they were
paid now, would receive money from the
city to which they were mot entitled.
This brought up the matter of the Myers
payment. and 1t was found hat the archi-
tect's bill was again presented. The archi-
tect had received d payment of $500 and
last night he asked for the additional
money wing to him, amounting to 81, $685. 20,
figuring on a 5 per cent. basis ON the low
est aggregate bids received. 1854, 4S2.
The Runyon and Carey case was laid on
the table, and on motion of Commissioner
Eisele the bill of Myers was rejected.
REPORTS from the builders of various
schools were head, and the Thirteenth
Avenue school addition was accepted, with
the exception of the heating and ventila-
ton system.
The committee will meet Tomorrow
night before the session of the board.
