BONDS FOR SEW SCHOOL HOI SB All Offers of Contractors Above Suns Available. When the board of education opened bids for the construction of the new school house at Broadway and Oak streets last evening. It found Itself In a quandry. The original levy for the purchase of the site and the construction of the building was $30,000. Already about $7,000 has been ex pended In the purchase of the sire and court costs resulting from the appeal taken from the award of the appraisers and the lowest bid received for the mere construction of the building Is practically $17,000. This bid did not Include the cost of the plumbing or the fees of the archi tect which It Is estimated, will amount to at least $3,500. The board was unable to reach any decision In the matter and ad journed until this afternoon when It Is expected some action will be taken. The proposition of calling a special elec tion for an additional levy of $7,000 was suggested and discussed but no decision reached, It being deemed best not to act definitely on the matter until after fur ther consideration.
