This waa the chief business of the first meeting since the election. The wood bid was 93.60 a cord Vasby brothers bid 3200 for painting the high achool. The board also re ceived bids for shingling and repairs on the Lincoln building, but consider- ml these too high and rejected them. More bids will probably he sought. None of the applications tor the position of commercial teacher In the high school are considered satisfac tory by the board. All were rejected at the meeting, and Superintendent Bain refused to recommend the ap pointment of any yet aspiring for the poscltlon. Others are expected to apply. Because the county superintendent has been unable to make his financial reports until July 1. the board did not receive the full financial report for the year as expected. The business of the fiscal year, however, waa closed up. A reduction In warrant In Indebt edness la expected to run to about 93000. D. J. Beal and R. W.
