Committee Gives Job to Lock
wood and Tuttle to Hurry
IL Up in Time.
Secretary Kelly Says No Rea-
son For Complaint.
CONSIDERS PRICE REASONABLE

The contract for the sanitary build
ing at the Lee school, Fourth and
Ohlo streets. probably will be lot
TINS afternoon by the sanitary COM
mNtee to Contractors Lockwood &
futile. The price OF 81 400 has been
agreed upon, and II is thought that
the sanitary committee will meet this
AFTERNOON to sign the papers. Under
the contract the contractors will not
receive the money for a, year.
Instead Of the board letting the
contract, power was delegated to the
sanitary committee. which did not
advertise for bids, but asked several
contractors to bid, and then the
brick work, and plumbing was given
out by sub-blds. Trustee c. @. KEEL
y, secretary of the school board this
morning, said; 1--WE did not advertise
for bids, because It takes two weeks
before the contract may be let. We
asked several contractors TO bid but
Jack Coie, and lockwood & futile
were the only two that had in bids.
Lockwood & futile had the lower bid
at $l,4O0. II would be difficult TO
advertise for bids under the circum-
stances as the money will not be
paid for year or upon the result Of
the issue. | think the price was as
reasonable as we could have Sc
cured"
The building will be of brick
27x21 feet, and will have flush
tank. The members OF the sanitary
committee are Trustees Walston.
Winstead, Murray and Kelly and
President Bondurant.
Some dissatisfaction has arisen
over the letting OF the contract with
out going through the formality OF
advertising for the bids. II is said
that some contractors did not know
that the work was to be let in time
to make estimates on the proposed
work. The committee is anxious to
have the work done by the time
school sessions begin but school will
begin Monday, aud il will be impos-
sib!e for the building to be put in use
for two or three weeks after the
Ichildren are at the building.
