Building Material Delays

The question of the delay in build
ing operations on the new high school
was brought to the attention of the
board by Trustees Conroy, who re-
ferred to the trouble which had been
experienced in securing the terra
Gotta on time, which caused holdup
in the progress of the building. 1t
had been impossible to determine
which had been at fault, the architect
or the manufacturers. He inquired
the reason for the delay in provid-
ing the front face brick. Mr.. Con-
roy moved that the board notify the
general contractor and architect that
they were dissatisfied with the pro-
gress of the building. 1t should be
pointed out to them that at the
rate things were going, it would be
impossible to finish the building by
the time called for in the contract.
The Forfeit Matter
In the contract there was for
felt of $25 day for every day after
the contract time that the building
was unfinished. Mr.. Smith, however,

ing was set for Friday evening, De-
cember 10.
Inspector Dreyer reported that be-
ginning Monday, November 70, the
new building had been provided with
a night Waterman.
Twenty New Lockers
The supplies committee was re.
ouested to inquire into the matter OF
providing furniture for the high
school, President Whelan was en-
powered to procure twenty lockers
for the high school, Five dollars
was allowed the Kindergarten teach
ers for Christmas exercises.
The question of whether teachers
should be required to pay definite
sum for days of enforced absence,
and if so, how much, was referred
to the governing committee. Mr..
Herschler, of the teachers commit
tee, thought that the two dollars
day penalty which had been pro-
posed was unfair.
The meeting then adjourned to
meet again at the special investlga-
ton the following Friday night.

Island could shield New York against

if the inventors anticipations be-
come realizations.
at is not the time" said DR.. Tesla
today, ito go into the details of this
thing. 1t is founded upon a prin-
ciple that means great things in
peace; it can be used for great things
in war, but l repeat, this is no time
to talk of such things.
ct is perfectly practicable to
transmit electrical energy without
wires and produce destructive effects
at a distance. | have already in
structed a wireless transmitter which
makes this psssible, and have de-
cribed in my technical publications,
among which l may refer to my
patent 1,119,732, recently granted
With transmitters of this kind we
are enabled to project electrical
energy in any amount to any distance
and apply it for innumerable pur-
poses, both in peace and war.
Through the universal adoption
of this system, ideal conditions for
the maintenance of law and order
will be realized, for then the energy
necessary to the enforcement of right
and justice will be normally pro-
ductive, yet potential, and in any mo-
ment available for attack and de-
fence. The power transmitted need
not be necessarily destructive, for,
if existence is made to depend upon
it, it's withdrawal or supply will bring
about the same results as those now
accomplihed by force of arms.
"But when unavoidable, the same
agent may be used to destroy prop
erty and life. The art is already so
far developed that great destructive
effects can be produced at any point
on the globe, determined before hand
and with great accuracy. In view OF
this l have not thought it hazardous
to predict a few years ago that the
wars of the future will not be waged
with explosives, but with electrical
means"
DR.. Tesla then said it would be
possible with his wireless mechanism
to direct any ordinary aeroplane,
manless, to any point, over a ship or
an army, and to discharge explosives
of great strength from the base of
operations.
Asked to express an opinion upon
the announcement of Charles H.
Harris, an electrical engineer, of
Los Angeles, that he would be able
to surround this country with an
electrical wall of fire in time of war,
Mr.. Tesla gave it as his opinion that
Mr.. Harris was not practical.

said that as there was no correspond
ing bonus allowed in the contract for
finishing the work before contract
time, the forfeit could not be col
lected. Mr.. Conroy, continuing his
motion, suggested that a committee
of three, including Clerk Kelly, be
appointed to draft letter to the
architect and contractor, the letter
to be submitted to the board during
the meeting.
Speaking on the motion, Mr.. Smith
said that it was an important ques-
ton as to where the responsibility
should be placed. He suggested that
the board hold a special investiga-
ton, to which should be summoned
the contractor, architect, inspector,
and so on. At the investigation,
copies of letters and drawings could
be submitted and the whole difficulty
thrashed out.
President Whelan appointed as a
committee of notification to the build
ers and architects, to appear before
the board to explain the cause of de-
lay in building operations, the fol-
