Council to Hunt Replacement for Shreiner
Study
Village Hall
Bid Prices

Resignation of Cla aud e L.
Shreiner from the board of pub
lie affairs and the awarding of
contracts for the construction of
an addition to the Chardon Will
age hall will be the two main
items of business when council
meets tonight in the Thrasher
House.
Eleven contractors submitted
bids for the proposed addition.
Base bids of the eleven ranged
from about $4,000 to $40, 600.
Contractors also submitted bids:
on a dozen alternates.
The addition, estimated origi-
nally to cost $4,000, would in
clude an apparatus room for the
fire department, Mayors court
room, council chambers and
civic meeting room.
Shreiner, president of the:
Chardon Rubber Co. since last
October, submitted his resigna-
ton to the mayor. The resigna-
ton was to become effective
Aug. l.
He has been elected to the
board of public affairs three
times. In his letter to the mayor
Shreiner said:
When I consented to run for
this office prior to the a st
election, I had no idea I was
to be given the responsibility of
the presidency of The Chardon
Rubber Co. I believe that on
three of the regular meetings
of the board since January 7
have been tied up with business
of the company and I just do
not have time to devote to the
affairs of the board.
''I feel that if you would ap-
point replacement for me now,
he could do more good and be
thoroughly acquainted with the
affairs of the board before the
next election.
II have enjoyed serving in
this capacity for the past AZ
years and in help ing to bring
about an adequate water n d
sewer service to the Village of
Chardon on a paying basis"

Hope New
School Done
by Sept. 2

Chardon school officials still
have doubts on whether t h e
new elemtary school on Maple
Ave. will be completed in time
for it to be occupied by about
$50 students when school opens
on Sept. 2.
Wayne Thayer, Chardon scho-
olS superintendent of buildings
and grounds, said today he
hopes the building is done by
the first day of school, b t
Il wouldn't want to be quoted
as saying it will be-"
Holding up the project are al
uminum frames for the large
windows in the buildings eight
classrooms.
School officials have b e n
getting the run around all
summer from an Alabama firm
which is supplying the window
frames. Latest arrival date for
t h e windows was Tuesday o f
this week.
When they didn't arrive on
schedule, Superintendent Ira A
Garfield sent a telegram to the
southern company, and wa S
told by return wire on Tuesday
that the windows were being
shipped then.
Most other work on the new
building can be completed be-
fore the windows are installed.
Thayer said the window frames
will only hold up installation of
a portion of the heating equip
ment which will be hung from
the frames
What if the school isn't ready
by September 2?
Superintendent Canfiefd said
one of three alternatives will
be used: classes will be doubl-
ed up elsewhere in the system
to accommodate the students who
were to attend the building,
part of the elementary school
will go into double session to
provide the extra needed class
room space, or the fourth and
fifth graders will be sent home
until the building is completed.
The eight classroom structure
which also contains office space
and an all purpose room, is
scheduled to house all of the
systems fourth and fifth grade
classes, except those in tn e

found who could teach both.
Garfield said a great deal of
emphasis in the agriculture cur
riculum was on farm machin-
cry, and many students in the
T & I program sought jobs in
garages. He feels the new in
dustrial arts offerings will sup
plement the loss in the other
fields.
Only vacancy still remaining
in Chardon schools is for a La
tin teacher. The superintendent
said all Latin students could be
taken care of by increasing the
load of present teachers, but,
according to Garfield, it would
be preferable to find another
teacher.
