the specifications IN tho contract for
tho erection Of the new South Side
unit" school house and that the

holt1cr stated az the meeting last
night that soy en- of the regular teach
crs for the last week have been un
able to bo In school ON account of
illness. due they say, to the lack OF
| warmth In the school rooms. Many
of the students have been dismissed
from school on account Of sore

coming from patrons of the South
side schools for several weeks" said

board. "and the whole responsibility
rests with the building and plumbing
contractors who have failed to comply
With the specifications Of our con
tract"

concur in the presidents opinion and
for several minutes the school faith

contractors work

! the heating contract was let by the
architect II. E. Swearlngen, was
celle upon for an explanation. He

the board but on account Of the fail
urc Of the Tulsa Corporation to make
electric connections with the heating
plant he had been deferred in his
plans he said.

TO the school board members who
claim that the Tulsa Corporation say
that they have been ready to make
wire connections but were forced to
wait until the plumber was ready.
