 govern the actions of the board was trotted out. The board has been since then arriving at the present stage. Ihe rules have been drawn up by the special committee which had that work in charge and were presented 10 the board some time. ago. When they came up at the last monthly meeting it was decided to hold a spe- cial meeting and last night was the time selected.
 There. are 40 typewritten pages in the set. Of these but six were taken under consideration last night. The meeting adjourned at 10 o'clock. Burns plot at the corner of North Washington avenue and Commercial street were submitted to the board by Architect Charles T. Beardsley, Jr. After several minor changes were made in them the plans were approv- ed and bids for the construction of the school will be advertised for. The Board of Contract and Supply will not have hand in awarding the con- tract. The bids will close June IT. The board will hold special meeting to open them. The plans provide for an eight room building of brick. The eight rooms will constitute the first unit and an eight room addition will be added later. There will be two stories and basement and the front age will be on North Washington ave- nue. The addition will be added on the Commercial street side There will also be an entrance on the Com of Lowell. Mass, have written the board asking for the privilige of com peting for the work on the school. The communication was received and turned over to the architect who will advertise for the bids.
 The committee on Supplies reported last night and again the board of local State Trade school was awarded the contract to furnish the storage cases for the domestic science depart ment. The price was a trifle lower than that of manufacturer who has supplied them in the past. It was school the contract it allowed for a practical application of the work done there. Nathaniel w. Bishop and Will liam R. Webster were enthusiastic in their support of the plan to let the trade school do the work as it gave the pupils practical work.
 The purchase of 135 Pyrene fire ex- was recommended. These will be distributed so that one will do service for four rooms.
 This committee will gather data and consider the advisability of mak- Ing such an investigation of the school system as was suggested in a resolution introduced at the last meet ing of the board by Mir. Bishop. Supt. Charles w. Deane, Attorney John J. Cullinan, N. w. Bishop, Richard H. and Col Elmer H. Havens. President William Lieberum made the appointments.
 Political club was present. ed to the board by Dr. George W.

The letter was as fol- lows:
 "To the Honorable Board of Educa-
 tion of the City of Bridgeport,
 ''The undersigned committee com posed of The United Hungarian Polit- ical club of the City of Bridgeport at a recent meeting of your Honorable Board for the purpose of calling your attention to the very poor school facilities furnished the
 
 We were very much pleased to note the importance which your Hon. orable Board attached to this mat ter and were especially gratified with your promise that you would have a committee sco-operate with our com- mittee to investigate conditions in an endeavor to purchase suitable land for additional school buildings and play grounds.
 "Our attention has since been call- ed to the fact that your committee has visited the Vest End without any invitation to our committee to join you and without letting us know in any way of your presence in that vii cinity.
 we regret exceedingly that your committee saw fit to ignore our com mittee, as we are sure that either in- dividually or as a body it could have furnished much useful information about conditions in the West End to your committee, as we are permanent residents there, and your committee could at best simply get casual idea of the situation at the present time.
 "As citizens and taxpayers we vol unteered our services in good faith to assist your honorable body in pro-. curing land at a reasonable price having absolutely no thought of per sonal gain in the matter, but simply and solely looking for the public good.
 "We wish therefore to make it clear that we are thoroughly dissatis- fled with the treatment that our com mittee has received in this matter, as we llo not believe it fair to us that in a matter concerning the education of our children, which is of the high est interest to the entire City, we should have received only empty promises and no effort made to fulfill these promises made to our commit tee at your recent meeting, as we be- Iieve ourselves entitled to just con- sideration not only before election but during the entire City administration.
 we trust therefore that your Hon. orable Board will give prompt con- to the matter of enlargins the public school on Bostwick ave- nue, as we'll as to look after the in- terests of this rapidly growing sec- ton of the West End as it requires urgent attention at the present time. Dated at said City of Bridgeport, this 18th day of May. 1912.
 Respectfully submitted,
