HOPE TO ERECT SCHOOL
WITHIN APPROPRIATION.

ELIZABETH. Nov. 23.-The commit
tee on the new high school of the
Board OF Education consulted with
the bidders on the construction work
and the heating and ventilating
plant for the new building. Members
of the committee declined to say
whether they had been able to de-
termine the lowest bidders on the work
yet. They declare that their first
report on this matter i'll be made to
the Board of Education at it's next
meeting.
The consideration of many alternate
bids has made the committees task a
difficult one, but it is understood that
its efforts have been rewarded by the
finding of a way to save several thou
sand dollars by the acceptance of some
of the a"lternates and still be able to
erect a handsome and finely equipped
building. The building is to cost about
$3.50, 900.
