REPAIR WORK ON SCHOOLS.
All May Not Be Finished in Time
for Opening Dav.

If the repair work. the f1reproofing and
similar operations now being pushed for
ward in the schools are not in good shape
when the school children return to their
desks it will be because the contractors
at work in the various buildings are ex-
tremely slow. This explanation was made
this morning by Supt. Of Repairs Henry
to Capt. James F. Oyster of the board
of education. Capt. Oyster was closeted
with Mr.. Henry for an hour or more this
morning and together they went over a
batch Of reports from school janitors
The reports will not be made public at
present.
While no one wants to be quoted on
the condition of the repair work in the
school buildings. it was said this morning
by a member of the board that there ap-
peared to be more work than could possi-
bly, be finished in a week. Against this
fear the chairman of the board has the
promise of the man in charge Of the work
that the major portion will be completed.
In addition to the teams and carts en-
ployed by the contractors to haul away
rubbish Mr.. Henry has put on nine of his
own carts.
Boilers will have to be inspected before
the schools open. Capt. Oyster said this
morning that as far as he knew no school
boiler had been looked at yet, and that he
would insist that this detail be completed
in time for the opening day.
