Committee To Probe Fires In Three School Coal Bins

Investigation of the school coal storage situation was assigned by the Board of Education last night to the schoolhouse committee, fol- lowing a report of a third fire in recent weeks in school coal bins.
 Referring to yesterdays fire in the basement at Russell School, Commissioner Harold Parkinson ask ed if the Board 'can alter the Situa- tion and prevent fires from occur ing"
 Commissioner Raymond F. Stone, president of the Board, pointed out that all three fires were due to spontaneous combustion and there was no way of avoiding it. He said that large part of the schools coal supply was still at the coal company yards, partly because the School De- partment had no room for it and partly because of the fire situation.
 To Consult Fire Officials
 The schoolhouse committee was asked to consult with the Fire De- partment on the situation.
 The Board voted to ask the Con- necticut Railway and Lighting Com pany to cooperate with the Wash ington Park Community Club on a request for a school bus to take pupils from the section to Hendrick- en School.
 In a petition to the Board, mem bers of the club pointed out that since Mulcahy School was closed some of the children in the Edge wood Avenue and Hamilton Avenue areas have been attending the East Main Street School. They pointed out that a transfer of busses was necessary, and asked for setting up bus route directly from the Wash ington section to East Main Street The petition pointed out that the children would pay their own fares, and the Board would not be asked to handle costs.
 Commissioner Parkinson question ed a bill submitted for over $1 900 by a contractor for oiling yards at Bunker Hill, Driggs, and Webster Schools. He pointed out that the rules require submission of bids for all work costing more than $1,000, and that no bids had been accepted for the oiling task.
 Three Contracts Called
 Mayor John s. Monagan, who pre- sided at the meeting, pointed out that there were three separate con- tracts for the work.
 Approval was given by the Board for payment of $275.15 on the con- tract of the Dadona Construction Company for grading and oiling the Driggs School yard, and for payment of $1,723.30 on the contract of R. J. Vanasse for painting the cafeterias and other rooms at Leavenworth High School. The completion date of contracts for new roofs at Hope vile and Russell Schools was ex- tended to Oct. IS.
