tras" connected with putting in the
new heating plant at the high school
building. A certain misunderstanding,
it appeared, had arisen over a correc-
ton made in Architect Latenser' 5
original plans. In order to do good
work, the plumbing firm showed that
they had TO do considerable work
other than what their contract called
for.
a. Morrison, construction foreman of
the building, stated very definitely that
the alterations upon which the add.
tlonal charges were based, had not
made by the plumbers in order to con
venience their fittings. He thought
that by the wording of the contract
the claims were In part groundless.
Question as to who had ordered Ger.
tain brick work done resulted in the
mason, Il. l.. Loucks, being sent for
Mr. Loucks stated that at the time
he had thought that he was doing the
work for the school board.
The matter was finally compromis.
ed, apparently satisfactorily, by the
school board settling the account for
$50.
The board decided in the latter part
IF the month to hold n special meeting
to consider the matter of inSuring the
furniture in the several schools.
In view of the three days vacation
this week the board decided that
school would be held as usual the Fri.
day following Thanksgiving.
The board readily consented to allow
small remuneration for the services
of the janitors who stayed up Hallow-
cen to protect the buildings from
damage.
Adjournment was finally taken in
view of the fact that the board mem
bers did not want to incapacitate
themselves from staying up for the
election returns.
