The fuel companies explained that
the condition Of the Anthracite coal
market was such that they could not
guarantee the price of this coal and
this is the reason they put in their
bids the way they did, In fact it
was explained that 1T might be i'm
possible to get the stove coal.

tanned by the chairman: Moved by
J. H. Fleming, seconded by: Mitchell
Stewart, that the fuel contract be
divided as near as possible between
the three bidders mentioned above.

The Clerk stated that Mr.. John
Kevisto from the district adjacent
to the Farmstead school had called
and asked that the board arrange
another hauling route to enable q
number Of children to attend the
Farmstead school. He stated that
/ there we're about nine children who
were about a mile away, and one,
seven years old, about mile and
three-Quarters, who had never been
to school, and there were two others,
nine and seven years old, who had
never been to school.
Mr.. Kevisto stated that there was
no road and they could not be hauled
at present, and on account of the
numerous wolves and bears in this
country, the parents were afraid to
allow the smaller children to 60
without an escort. He stated that
he would allow his boy to escort
these children with a gun. and then
the parents would allow their chill
dren to go. He also stated that
after the snow came 80 they could
have winter road, he would haul
the children at $500 a month.
After some discussion, the follow
ing motion was entertained by the
chair: Moved by wv. H. Eaton, Sec
onded by J. H. Fleming. that the
clerk be instructed to advertise for
bids for the conveyance of the chill
dren to the Homestead and Farm
stead schools, and also that bids be
