Finally, upon a motion, it was voted
that the board put this work in the
budget for 81,500.
The matter of the fence at the Con-
cord School, which has been down
for some time, was next discussed,
and after a description of the situa.

The first subject to arise following
this motion, was again in regard to
coal. Mr. Chapman decided that the
amount of coal used in the Marvin
School could be cut from eighty to
sixty tons, and that in the Washing-
ton, from ninety to seventydlve. in
relation to the coal to buy, a discus.
sion arose as to the advisability of
installing combustors such as Is now

the boilers in the schools. Both Dr.

Mr. Rummler, it was voted that
amount of 8300 for the erection of
this fence be placed in the budget.
[Later in the meeting, Harry E. Sco-
lleld inquired as to the nature of this
fence. The fence will be an eight
_ foot wire fence, similar to that which
’extends around the Farrell property
at Hickory Bluff.
Quite a discussion on the matter of
painting, followed the fence decision,
Dr. Coburn stating that an appropria-
tion should be specifically asked for.
for the purpose of painting the Over
River School.
Dr. Sherer differed from Dr. Co-
hurn in regard to this matter, and

Alexander Rummler answered the

Mr. Ward also retained his
ithat the Over River was no more

Dr. Sherer suggested that all com-
mittee reports on the work of repairs
needed should be submitted in writ-
ing. ready to be filed, so that some
idea could be obtained of the amount
of money and .work necessary.
| Bernard J. Reynolds suggested that
ithe board was only wasting time by

iReynolds, and carried by the board,

William Ahrens was in doubt as to
the necessity of a telephone in the
home of the school nurse, but upon
explanation by Mr. Chapman, it was
decided to, retain this phone.
3554 was then voted for the tele
phone expense.
Superintendent Chapman then stat.-
ed that before the payroll budget was
taken up, this budget could probably
be gone over again, and further re-
duced. The superintendent also
stated that the pay roll budget would
probably be increased to 83.000 over
that of last year.
