PLANS NOW READY
FOR SCHOOL BOARD
New Building for West Side
May Be Erected on
Cottage Plan.

(Plans for the new school building
to be erected at the corner of South
west Second and c street will be sub
mitted to the members of the school
board within few days.
1t is proposed by the members of
the board to erect a building known
as the cottage plan oil building. There
is to be one main building which will
consist Of an auditorium, gymna-
sium, and four school rooms. Adjoin-
ing this there will be several cottages
which will consist of one or two rooms.
The advantage of this system was
explained to County Supt. Williams
who investigated the proposition in
Piqua. Ohio, where a school of this
kind is maintained.(A great feature of
the system is that none of the rooms
will be close enough to hinder the 9TH
er grades in their lines of work. The
plans are considered to be the best
adapted to regulate sanitary and heat
ing conditions. 1t is probable that
the system will be adopted by the
board according to one of the school
authorities II the plan is successful
in this instance ii will be tried out in
all future buildings constructed in
this city for school purposes.

BOARD OPENS BIDS
ON PLANT ENGINES
Several Companies Are After
Contract, Two Impressing
Board Greatly.

Six companies today presented bids
for the contract to furnish engines for
the light plant. The companies were
the Nordburg Manufacturing company
of Milwaukee, Providence Engineering
company, of Providence, Rhode Island,
Allis Chalmers company of Milwaukee,
the Vilters Manufacturing company of
Milwaukee, the Rice and Sargent com.
pany and the Hooven, Owens,
Rentschler company, of Hamilton,
Ohio.
The lowest bidder was the Nordbure
company, whose bid was $4,000 less
than its competitors. The Rice and
Sargent and the Hamilton Corliss
engines made the best impression on
the members Of the board, although
the only objection to the Nordburg en-
gines was the lack of weight This
was satisfactorily explained later by
the representative of the Nordbure
company.
The board allowed the representa-
tive of each company twenty minutes
in which to explain parts of the pro
stand. Some bids included the cost
of shipping, installing and making
tests.
The comparative weight, design
construction and other points were
taken into consideration by Engineer
Howard Gluys and the members of the
board.
R. c. Stueve. of the Allis- Chalmers
company declared that the fact the
Allis Chalmers comany was in the
hands of a receiver should not in
fiuence the board in awarding the con
tract.
Stueve desired to divide the bic
which he presented to meet the bid:
on various equipment as presented b!
other companies. This was not favor
ed by the board. The bid of the ALI.
Chalmers company included engines
generators and exciters, which were
all bid on separately by other com
panies. The board would not ALLOW
him to divide the bid because he cou1t
then beat the prices of the competing
companies because of his knowledg,
of the amount of the other bids.
