The con- tract with Parker A Banfield included "roughing in" the swimming pool and i laying the floors and stated that no I changes or eliminations should be . made without the approval of the f board. i. The board referred the matter back " to the business committee and to Di i. rector George "B. Thomas, former chairman of the properties committee, ; for investigation.

The board adopted the insurance re I port of the special committee and unanimously voted to proceed with the t collection of $39,000 insurance due on r the Holladay fire. Eleven agents have paid their share of the insurance, amounting to $7000, according to the t board, and it is reported that members I of the "inner circle," whose insursnoe allotments were reduced, are holding w up payment. f I "The former business committee con--Z. ferred with a committee from the in surssice exchange bureau which offered rto assist in allocating this insurance as outlined, br the board," read the re- port. "It was not the intention of the Aboard to deviate at any time from the plan outlined in the resolution passed . that all Insurance be equally allocated J among all accredited agents in the dls t trict "This plan, however, was not adhered t to by the committee of the Insurance exchange and the distribution of the in ' surance was not at all satisfactory to - the board. Therefore, it became neces sary to readjust tbe allocation of this Insurance so - that each, , accredited agent would receive an equal amount. This, of course, necessitated the cancelling of some insuiance which had been arranged for by the insurance ex change. This was not the fault tf the business committee of the board, it was pointed out. and it was understood at all ..times during the-ftegotiations for insurance that no cancellations were to. be made on the short rate basis, but it was, understood that Insurance can. celled in order to' carry out the reso lution, of the board be cancelled on tbe 'pro rata basis." . i,-v SCHOOL CBOTTDED ; Whether students from the federal board of vocational education will be permitted to attend Benson Polytech nic school at an this year, will depend upon the education committee, the su perintendent of schools and the clerk.

School officials must henceforth fur nish their own automobiles, which tbe board has been purchasing.

Brigadier General Richard M. Katch ford, commanding at Vancouver bay racks, Washington, is assumed- to be one of the two brigadier generals who. according to war department announce ment, have received an intimation that their applications for immediate or early retirement would, be appreciated. This Intimation has been given, it is explained, without any reflection upon either the two brigadiers or four major general, who have received similar hints, the unusual action - being prompted by a desire to promote a number of officers in the lower grades who will otherwise be forced out of the army by next January because of reduced appropriations. - It was found last four major gen erals and two brigadiers will be retired for age within a year, and as they will soon be out anyway, the department has conveyed the suggestion that they step down a few months in advance. so tbe department will have wider 1 choice in making promotions from the lower ranks in the general reorganisa tion that is under way. v - Xearly 1(00 officers must be detached from the army by next January. The army plucking- board is at work pick ing out the men to be dropped. If the six generals will quit by that time, pro motions can be made according to the desire of the department in grades from colonel to second lieutenant. There are five major generals sched uled for age retirement within a year, four f whom, it appear, the depart ment hopes will retire before January, but only two brigadiers, from which it is' assumed that General Blatchford is included, as the intimation is said to have been conveyed to two officers of that rank.

"If the secretary of war wants to retire me I will be retired " ' IJlapper Toggery ;IIsBndef Ban at Klamath School ...A N ..- -: ' v Klamatlk Falls, Aug. 31.
