The Board of Education did not do
a-aet deal at the meeting held at the
administration building on Tuesday
evening. 1t was the first meeting of
the new board and while the accom-
plishment was not great the members of
the board got started wrong as the
meeting continued until nearly mid
night and the total accomplishment was
the appointment Of the standing com
mittees as named above, the election
of S. d. Joseph as Inspector for the
new Washington school and decision
to readvertise for bids for coal with
the understanding that the bids will be
opened by the board at meeting to
be held on next Tuesday evening.
1t didn't take long to approve the
list of standing committees nor to
elect the Inspector and most of the four
hours were given over to fruitless bal
lotting as to whom the contract for the
coal should be let. There were half
a dozen bidders who had offered the
coal at the same figure. Two Of them
from Chicago and without any argu-
ment these two were eliminated with
the idea that the members of the board
decided to patronize Kenosha coal deal
ers so long as their prices were as low
as those offered by the out of town
dealers. BY process Of elimination
the list of bidders or the contract was
narrowed down to 0. "A. Mcneil and
the John O'Donnell Estate and thirty
ballots were taken in an effort to de-
eide between these two bids The
ballots for the most part showed eleven
votes for Mcneil and four for the
O'Donnell estate but the chairman
ruled that twelve votes were necessary
to let the contract and after the hours
of balloting it was decided by the
members of the board to ask for new
bids.
There was an interesting departure
from established customs in the appoint
ment Of the standing committees Of
4he board in that no committee on
High School was named. Tt was de-
clared that the duplication of COM
nlittees on teachers has caused consider
able trouble for the board and for this
reason one of the committees which
had been active in the selection of
teachers was eliminated.
S. D. Joseph who was selected as
Inspector ON the Washington School
has served for eight years as an In
spector for the Westinghouse Church
Kerr Company. His selection was made
unanimous.
The meeting room of the board is to
take on a really new appearance in
the near future as the committee on
supplies was instructed to purchase
desks and chairs for the use of the
members of the board. If possible
these will be similar to the ones now
used in the city council chamber.
