Not Publicly Discussed
by Board
At Meeting Monday Eve.
But Arrangements For
Vote Will be Made
Soon - Reports Sub
mitted-Bills Allowed.

ments for holding an election upon the
proposed bond issue to meet the ex-
penses incidental to the erection of
new fire escapes, and other remodel
ing, was reserved for some future date
by the board of education at their
regular meeting Monday night. While
the matter of preparing for the cleo
tion was not brought up publicly at
the meeting, 1t formed the principal
topic of discussion among the mem
bers privately, and 1t is certain that
the arrangements for taking the vote
are to be announced soon.
Due to the recent strain upon the
of the Summit building and in pre-
pairing for the opening Of the school
year, the funds have become so far
exhausted that before another bond is
sue can be made it must be put to
vote of the people. Until the election
is held the board will be unable to car
rry out the suggestions of the citizens
inspection committee, in the remodel
ing OF the fire protector systems of
the Canton buildings.
The board did not hold its formal
meeting until 10 o'clock. Preliminary
to that a private meeting was held,
the outcome of which was not made
known. All members responded to the
roll call.

ter to come before the board was the

plies. The following bills were unan-
