Mr.. Stradley wondered why Il was
that the report of janitors' in

report is made now because il was
realized that the board is going to be

Mr.. Thomas can be easily replaced,
Mr.. Stradley asserted in regard to
not be attended as satisfactorily by
any other man.
George Rommel took Mr.. Thomas
side and called the engineer before
the board and questioned him re-
garding his failure to get supplies.
Mr. Thomas said that there have
been times when he has not himself
had certain supplies asked for by
janitors.
DR.. Washburn's original motion
was that Mr.. Thomas be dismissed,
but later he amended 1t so that the
school engineer might be given the
privilege of resigning by September
is and that the matter OF certain
janitors recommended to dismissal
be laid over for investigation.
Satisfactory janitor service in all
schools will be insisted on. the senti-
ment OF the members showed.
Prior to the action asking for his
resignation, Mr.. Thomas had sub.
mitted a report on minor repair.
that need to be made in various
schools. A motion giving Mr.. Thomas
authority to have the repairs made
was lost and then the board voted
TO advertise for bids for the work.
Mr.. Stradley assailed the engi
