WARDROBE DISPUTE IN B. H. s. PLANS SETTLED
 BY VOTE OF SIX TO FIVE

Tn spite of the fact that of the nine teen school officials in other cities who were asked for their opinions on the matter, fourteen were opposed to locating school vvardrobes in the base ment of the building, the Bridgeport Board of Education voted last night to have the wordrobeS for the new high school placed in the basement, in stead of having a separate wardrobe for each room as the architects plans called for. This action on the board 8 part means that the architect will have to change his plans.
 Although the architect stated that the plan for separate wardrobes for each room would work out perfectly as regards ventilation and general con- veniepce, some of the board members were sceptica1 and voted against Ma thanie1 W. Bishops proposition to ac- cept the architects plans calling for separate wardrobes in each room. John F. Brady made the motion to have the wardrobes placed in the basement and the motion passed by a vote of six to five those voting in favor Of it be- ing MT. Brady, Howard s. ChaLeng- CT, Richard H. Murphy, Dr. W. H. Ryan, Jr., John CuI1inan and pr. Geo. w Osborn
 It was voted to let the size of the rooms remain as they are now in the architects plans. A committee com posed of Mr. Murphy, Mir CuIIinan MT. Challenger and Supt. Charles w. Deane was appointed by President Lieberum to attend to any other de- tails which may arise in the matter of the high school.
 MT, Challenger reported that he had sold the old house on the Congress street school property to John B1tz- Herald for $100. He turned the money over to the secretary.
 The contract for the $500 tons of coal to be used by the school dur ing the coming year, was awarded to the McGee Coal company at $5.69 per ton.
 It was voted to insure the old North End school building for $75O and the Black Rock structure for $4OO, request ing the boys who use these buildings as club houses to pay the insurance.
 Dr. Deane reported that there was little likelihood of the $10 High school tuition bill passing the legislature as near as he could judge after attending the hearings on the bill at Hartford
 It was voted to have the schools close on circus day May 21.
 It was moved to establish a. dental clinic to be under the control of the board in this city. Those appointed to the board were Drs. Alfred c. Fones,
