Another thing Mr.. Smith discuss

ADJUSTED
WITHOUT TROUBLE
School Trustees Agreed That They
Would Accept Approximately
$500 On Burned Building

There was little difficulty expert
enced in the adjusting Of the loss on
the burned school building nad the
school board yesterday announced that
the fire insurance adjusters had Of
;erei to settle the claims for approxi-
mately $500. This offer seems to
meet with the approval Of the school
board and will probably be accepted
by that body.
There was really but little chance
for any Misunderstanding to occur in
this matter. but quite frequently there
are many dtsagreements with insur
ance companies concerning claims and
IL Will therefore be relief To Ander-
ron people to know that this claim
will be paid. The sum agreed upon Is
very equitable. since the building cost
about 81 200 and 1t Is certain that ell
Of the insurance money will be re-
quired TO put the building back In
first class shape.
Although the trustees have made no
definite statement in regard to the
matter 1t is understood that two more
rooms are to be added TO the build
Ing, making 1t more commodious and
more comfortable. 1t Is planned to
begin work as soon as possible and
Superintendent McCants says that 1t
should be completed and ready for use
by September 1st.
