The New High school Building.

There is a spirited discussion going
on between Mr.. Charles Hutzler,
Chairman of the Richmond City
School Board and Building Inspector
Beck. The allegations are made by
the Inspector that the new High

not being erected in accordance with

investigating the affair with the idea
OF producing harmony between the
eontending parties.

revision would be insincere. Look
at the II schedules--six of them
slightly under the Dingley rates,
