the achool board Monday night to' the
Booth-Kelly Lumber company and
Vaaby brothers, respectively. 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
