MART nsburs School Board

The Board of education of Martins
burg district held its regular meeting
forthe month on last Monday night.
President Alexander presided and Mr..
Lee Siler acted as secretary in the
place of Secretary Pitzer, who is away
on his vacation.
Current bills were passed amounting
to about s100.
There were several applications fov
the ~ incipaIship of the high school,
Including that of Mr.. j. n. Fries, of
Berkeley Springs, who applied in per-
son. He was former teacher in the
high school here. The board took no
action and the office of principal is
still vacant.
The matter of the John street school
building was discussed. The work was
reported to be progressing satisfactory
ly.
-Four bi6s for making additions to
the high school building were rejected
as being too high. This will necessitate
the advertising for new bids or per-
haps, slightly modifying the plans.

the week when there was considerable
activity, but as a rule the futures were
quiet and the fluctuations within the
narrowest Of ranges.
