The special committee, consisting
Of w. H. Eaton and Andrew Hawk
inson, who were to get the appraise-
ment of the boiler at the primary
school, reported that the party whom
they consulted stated that owing to
the difficulty in getting the boiler
out of the building they considered
the boiler only worth about SIS or
$40, but the committee reported that
they felt they would not consider
less than 800 for the boiler.
The clerk then reported that he
had received a bid of 500 for the
boiler from F. J. Hughes, and the
following motion was entertained:
Moved by r. J. McGhee, seconded
by Andrew Hawkinson, that the re-
port Of the special committee men
toned above be accepted, and that

dition satisfactory to the building

hauled to the county school which
was in the other district. Mr.. Young
stated that they could go to the coun-

Schultze requesting that the boards
of education in this district hold
school the day after Thanksgiving,
but that they close school Deem

teachers wished to go home at
Thanksgiving, they felt it desirable
to close school the day after Thanks
giving and leave the matter Of the

9Th to the chairman of the board to

meeting is to be held, and also as !
