DO YOU know whether plans on
which this bid for School 3 is based
we're approved by the board?" Kern
asked Commissioner Lewis Z.
Whitemap.
Z can answer only for myself
they were" Whiteman said.
I want the record to show that
the board has not approved plans
for the d. system at School 8,
Kern said in calling for vote.
Mrs. Lillian v. Sedwick, who sew
eral weeks ago introduced a resolu-
ton providing for open heating
and ventilating specifications, con-
sidered at the time as a slap at the
Shipp system, did not take part in
the controversy but voted to in
stall the Ship system in Schools
3 and so.

sation insurance on his bid OF
