building within bounds of the amount
raised, $4,000. This was done by
making some alterations at the south
c!ude the doing away with a proposed
piazza at that corner. and also some
private rooms, etc. Mr.. HoSie was
the lowest bidder and the contract
was awarded to him. The contract
calls for the completion of the new
wing by March 1st 1920.
