Inspect New Building.
| Mr.. Blssenbach suggested that the
board arrange for celebration of the
opening of the new high school build
ing, and make it a notable event
and get the governor and other
prominent men present and place
education on pedestal so high that
nobody can reach it, concluded the
member jokingly.
Mr.. Scherer believed that day
should be set apart when the public
should be invited to go through the
building. 1t could be in the form OF
a reception, but perhaps without any
speechmaking, and the teachers could
show the visitors about. The building
has the lights in now.
Superintendent Sperry said thai
it was one of the best lighted schOO
buildings that he ever saw.
President Holbrook favored havins
an inspection day for the public
and on motion of Judge Hughes thv
matter was referred to the specia
building committee, consisting o.
Messrs. Scherer, Davies and Blissen
bach, to arrange for.
The matter of numbering the room.
was left to the building committee
and superintendent
Condition Of Hickory Street.
Mr. Scherer said that a year age
the board had been assessed heavil!
for laying the tar macadam on Hick
DRY street. 1t had been worn on
by the hauling of heavy loads, i
was claimed, although it was sup
posed to be built to stand the haul
ing of heavy loads. 1t had beer
} guaranteed by the contractor for five
years, but had not been in two year!
yet He moved that the secretar.
| be instructed to bring the matter
to the attention of the city council
and ask it to see that the guaran
tee is enforced.
, Architect Pass said that the ba(

The lower half is better than thu
, upper half.
After some further discussion, thu
motion was carried
Vault Is Needed.
Mr. Scherer said that the boart
: was hampered by having no SAFE
place to keep it's records. John
Noe, who was preparing to leave thu
city, would sell his large safe TO
: $3.50, although it probably cost $35
or $400 1t would hold the records
for years to come.
The question of the advisabilit.
, of building vault as planned b,
Architect Chandler, but which wa
cut out when the plans were scales
down, was talked over, and Mr.; Pas
thought that one could be built TO
$3.50.
The matter was left until the mex
meeting, to investigate the cost NOR
:, thoroughly, several members express
ing the opinion that it would be bet
: ter to build a vault, as the cos
would not be much more.
: The bills were allowed.
