might see fit to build and to cease
operation when so required by the
board.
1t was a matter Of great concern
what was best to be done; The EVIL
lent need of the building was ever
present with Us. We finally decided
to make the start and enter into a
contract with the WoId-Mark Con
struction Co. on the cOst-plus basis,
believing this to be the best plan
under the circumstances. We were
confident at the time that a saving
of at least $4,000 could be effected
for the district by this plan.
The building is now enclosed with
the exception Of windows and has
cost, to date, 100000. SO far about
$4,000 has been saved to the district
below the estimate Of the contractors
by this cost-plus plan which enables
us to buy when and where it is most
to our advantage. BY this plan, too,
we have cut out contingency costs and
are taking advantage Of every favor
able turn in labor and material condi-
tions. We believe when the building
is completed the plan will mean a say
ing of at least $40, 900 under contract
ors' bid when the building was let last
February.
We are most anxious to put this fine
new building in a condition TO be used
by our high school next fall. We are
asking you to vote 10000 of add
tional bonds on Tuesday, February
lst. This is not enough to entirely
complete the building, but it is all
our legal limits will allow. With this
additional AMOUNT we plan to complete
the building with the exception OF the
auditorium, corridors, and small rooms.
In other words, we plan to complete
the gymnasium, study rooms, and
class rooms, putting in heat, light and
water, and leave the halls and audi
forum unfinished. This will enable
US to use the building and house the
tuJil6 UlSl otiiOol' Inv pats hihi
ished can be completed at some future
date. We intend that not a cent shall
be spent on the new building for tenn
porary purposes, but every improve
ment shall be permanent.
AS soon as we can use the new
building for the high school the tenn
porary frame buildings will be sold
and removed. The grounds will be
graded and put in first class condition.
AS a board, we have been especially
anxious and solicitious to do the wise
and proper thing in reference to our
schools. We realize with all Of you
that these are trying times, times
when it is difficult to say what it best
to be done, but we believe that it is
unwise to neglect our schools longer
or hesitate to give them the facilities
they so much need to do the sort of
work expected of them.

judgment and abundant common sense

STATEMENT OF SCHOOL BOARD

We make this statement that the
voters of Brookings may know exactly
what the board of education has done
toward the erection OF a new high
school building and what plans they
have in mind for its completion.
After the school bond election in
the spring of 1919 when you so gener-
ously voted $4,000 for a new high
school building we at once had our
architects, lyric & Chapman Of Min
neapolis, come to Brookings and go
over with us again all sketches and
plans for the new school building.
We took the matter Of plans tnder
advisement for weeks and finally,
when the need seemed to be so great
we instructed the architects to pre-
pare plans for a two-stOry building
that would accommodate 500 high
school students. This they did and
after revising and changing the plans
we called for bids on August IL, 1919.
We we're amazed and disappointed
to find the bids so high and concluded
to reject them all. Nothing more was
done until early in 1920. We were inn
p%ortuned or every hand to make an
other effort TO provide suitable school
facilities and get rid Of the unsan.-
tary, unsightly buildings which were
being used. We again decided to call
for bids on February II, 1920.
In the meantime we had been in
~vestigating contracts and contractors
and found that nearly every bid in
cluded large items to cover contingent
cies and uncertainties. At this time,
you will remember, there were many
labor strikes as well as a shortage of
railroad cars and a prospect of an
increase in freight rates. These un-
certainties with other unfavorable
conditions made contractors over-cau-
tious. We also found that in many
instances contracts were being let on
the cost-plus basis, which of course,
means the cost Of material and labor
and in addition a reasonable percent
age to cover overhead and profit.
We. decided to call for bids both
ways. That is, by the old method of
a bid for the total amount of work
and by the cost-plus plan, with the
understanding that each bid must CON
tain a guaranteed cost price above
which the cost Of the building could
not 20. When the bids were opened
on February II it was found that the
Wold-Mark Construction Co, of Brook
ings, was low bidder. Their bid was
approximately $286,O0 on the general
contract which does not include heat
ing, plumbing and ventilating, and by
the other plan their bid was the cost
Of material and labor plus 10 per cent
for overhead and profit. In their bid
they also offered to enter into a o n
tract to construct such a part Of the
new high school building as the board
