Bchool Director Wnndwitrd stated that an option had been obtained from the owner of property there, who had agreed to transfer lots that were wanted by the school board if he could obtain adjacent property. The foundation of a $10,000 build ing had been begun upon the property before the option had Deen ODiainea. The claims of the contractor which the school board had been pled Bed to assumelncluded a $500 architect's fee and a 15 per cent commission charge on the cost of all work per formed. Bonrd Members Object. The school board objected to the architect's fee and also took excep tion to the 15 per cent commission on the actual expenditures. A representative of the Davis company, architects and builders, who had submitted the statement, declared that the charges were equit able and that the $500 fee covered plans for the entire building. Mem bers of the school board maintained that inasmuch as the property owner Intended to put a Blmilar building on the other property, there should be no charge above actual expenditure. The matter was referred to a com mittee to confer with Mr. Davis and reach a settlement. The two blocks are Intended for playgrounds andi have been, obtalnel at a very reasonable figure, members of the board stated, l'ractlcally all of the land has been offered at as eased valuation, while Improvements have been held at a high price In only one or two instances. Charges Are Remitted. By special- action of the board the Charge for the use of school build ings for meetings of the Boy Soouts and Campflre girls was remitted The charge to cover actual expenses for other organ! cations remains as fixed until a special committee completes its In vestigation as to means, of obtaining rervenue to meet the extra expense of opening buildings after hours and on non-school days. Supervision of high school cafeteria service, which had been partly vested In the principals of the schools, was taken from their hands entirely ant placed under the superintendent ol properties. George B. Thomas, di rector, raised the point of difference In labor overhead cost per meal erred in the various cafeterias dur lng the past month. The Lincoln and Washington cafe terla overhead was approximately 2 cents more per meal for labor than the Benson and Jefferson schools, ac cording to Mr. Thomas' figures. Cen tral supervision should more nearly equalize the cost, members of the board stated. The vote on the motion was divided, with Directors Eisman, Thomas. Martin and Clark voting for It and directors Kewlll, Shull and Woodward opposing. After some discussion It was voted to require the truant officer to per form 11 months' service instead of 10 on his present salary of $2500. Dur ing the two vacation months he will work with i the superintendent of properties In' checking up and guard ing against lawless destruction of school property. It was voted to al low him the regular two weeks' va cation on pay.
