DECIDE TO PROCEED
WITH INSTALLATION
Board Of Education Hears Both Sides on
ACCESSIBILITY Of Putting in Power and
Light Plant for high Schools.

After listening to the arguments
and digesting the array of figures
tending to show the pro and con on
the advisability of installing pri-
vate power and lighting plant for
the Roosevelt.and Technical High
schools, the board of education at a
meeting Tuesday evening, by unan-
imous vote of all embers, decided
to proceed with the installation of
the plant as contracted, aside from
a decision to modify the contract as
awarded by installing but one unit
instead OF two at this time, provid-
ed the contractors had not incurred
too great an expense insofar as the
work had proceeded.
This latter action was taken upon
the advice of Mr.. Larson, consult
ing engineer, who deemed the one
unit sufficient for immediate needs.
The board had couple of we'll
attended sessions Saturday and
Tuesday evenings, the local Power
& Water Company being represent
ed Saturday evening by Mr.. How
ard, expert, of the General. Electric
Co., Minneapolis, ably assisted by
Manager Griggs and others, while
Mr.. Larson, chief engineer Duluth
schools, was present to defend his
figures as previously submitted to
the board. Mr.. Larson was again
in attendance Tuesday evening" as
wac Mr.. Griggs, and the complete
summary of all figures presented
by either eide will be found in the
Official proceedings of the board,
which will be duly published in the
Enterprise after their approval and
which will be we'll worthy the pc
rusal of every tax payer of the dis
trict.
The foundation for one engine
has arrived and is now being set,
and it is expected the complete unit
will be on the ground and ready for
installation within the week, and
work will be pushed to the end that
needed light and power may be fur
nished the new school as quickly as
possible.
At the Tuesday evening meeting
the board accepted the bid of the
lawrence oodspeed Company for
the installation of electrical fixtures
in the Technical High, in the sum
of $4,000, and work on this con-
tract will commence al once.

which supports that mission.
I'VE can only observe: That the
methods of our mission in Italy, now
for the first time thus publicly con-
derined, are the same that have beer
pursued from the beginning, almost
forty years ago. and that the inference
appears to be irresistible that other
considerations than the methods of ou1
mission in Rome must have been the
real cause of this sudden outcry.
Possibly some urgency of diplomacy
local in its origin, but far reaching in
its portent, required this attack, With
all its hazard, as a diversion from the
real issue involved.
THE facts that support this inference
are known to all who have followed the
course of recent events in the city OF
Rome.
Had there been any other way to
avoid certain issues of etiquette and
precedence created by coincident cir
cumstances of public nature, the
Methodist mission might have escape
calumny and thus lost the valuable
recognition Of its success.
1--WE content ourselves with affirming
our entire confidence in the moral in
tegrity of our missionaries and meth
DDS in Italy, and against the denuncia-
ton of their accusers we place the wide
open record of the Methodist church,
both as to teaching and method, in
America and turnout the world"

all planted it is not believed here that
the lower prices for feeding and stock
