coal for the schools Of Cecil county
was awarded to G. A. Benjamin &
Company at their bid of $5.25 per

spective schools. The Board re-

because these bids were not definite
enough in their specifications. It

ders to be received in the Office of
the Board of Education on or before

at Pilot. The Board did not con-
slider this favorably.

The Board of Education appointed

the Elkton Colored High School.
The Board of Education then de-
cided to terminate the services of all
janitors and to make new appoint
ments at the meeting on August 8.
1888. The County Superintendent
advised that the janitors now acting
capably be retained, stating that in
his belief janitors trained in the use
of the duties of janitor and in the
use of the machinery and boilers in
the schools, would be more valuable
than new men unframed and mex
perienced. The action of the Board,
however, was to terminate services
as stated before and employ janitors
for the school year 1933-1934 at the
August meeting.
The meeting then adjourned.
