RESUME BUILDING new
School House ON MONDAY
Board of Directors Lets New Contract
For Completion of Shimmen School
Increase Amount in New Tenth
Ward Structure to $4,000

The Edward B. Carley Company, of
New York, new contractors on the
Shimmell building at Seventeenth and
Catherine streets, will begin work on
completing the building on Monday.
The School Board last night took over
the construction of the school house
after the Fidelity and Deposit Com
pany of Maryland released the re-
manning moneys to be paid John w.
Emory, the Philadelphia contractor,
who threw up the contract.
The building will be finished under
the terms of the original contract for
$1S,33l2, the contract price yet unex-
pended. The release for the bonding
company and the new contract were
both drawn by NJ. W. Jacobs, solicitor
for the board. The new contractor has
agreed to furnish a bond for his work
and for that of Emory at the compile
tion of the building for two years. The
contract calls for the building to be
finished by June IL.
The resolution for the erection of a
new building at Fifth and Mahanton-
go streets, asking for bond issue of
$751; for building was amended last
night to increase that amount to $780,
600. Director Werner, sponsor of the
original resolution, moved for the
change after receiving petition from
$50 west enders asking for building
as good as the one now in the course
of construction on the Hill.
