To Probe Hose Contract.

At the meeting of the grounds, build
ings and supplies committee of the
Board of Education yesterday after
noon former Judge Frederick i. Guild.
president of the board, volunteered to
invite local junkmen to bid on several
hundred old school desks. The presi-
dent of the board joldngly said that he
knew n lot about junk, and felt capable
of driving a bargain that would she'd
glory on himself and the other mem
bers of the board.
When the matter was brought up 1t
was learned that the desks were not
up to the standard and were taking
up room in the courts of the various
schools. Secretary Robert d. Argue
said that they had been advertised for
sale, but few had been disposed of, and
that few at a very low figure.
Judge Guild then suggested that they
be sent to an auction room, and, after
being informed that no a%uctioneer
wanted them. suggested that the junk
dealers be asked to place a price on the
goods.
Commissioners Taylor l%aughingly Of
fcred "A resolution that Mr.. Guild be
authorized to visit the 5unkmen and
solicit bids, but the president rose tc
the occasion and declared that he
would take the responsibility and sell
the junk.
The committee, after hearing com
%munications and the requests of the
principals of the various schools for
additional supplies, decided to begin
the annual inspection of the buildings
Monday afternoon. The entire board
will visit all of the schools. which will
necessitate many trips.
A resolution was adopted to appoint
a subcommittee of three to look into
the contract of the Ralph B. Schmidt
Company for furnishing twelve schools
with fire hose, the total cost being
81, 200.
After the committee meeting the
board held it's weekly conference.
