$41.583. It was decided by the board
last night by vote Of three to one
to face the new building on Fulton
street. The structure will be located

from the sidewalk line.
BY rejecting the first bids for this
school house, the board has saved
something like $2.273. The total cost
will be kept, now, within the bond Is
sue of $4,000 which was voted In
the spring. The cost Of the two new
buildings and Lincoln addition to-
gether with architects fees and in
spector's salary would be only $91.7S7.
Figuring $4,000, which is considered
ample by those In position to know,
for furnishings, the total will reach
to $94.7S7.
There were five bidders for the new
school house. and the bids included
estimates for Kewanee boilers, cast
iron boilers and the cost OF the
hnmidifier. When the bid Of H. A..
Beck OF Burlington was opened 1t
was found that 1t was not accompan-
led by check for the full amount
asked. The building committee pre-
pared to protest the bid but Mr. Beck
announced he WAS not the lowest bid
der. and the estimate was opened.
Beck was the lowest man in the form
or bidding.
