There was originally for this school the
sum of (20,000. but the purchase of the site
absorbed about $7,000 and there is only
about 113,000 In the school building fund.
The lowest bid for the construction of the
building, exclusive of plumbing, heating
and lighting, was that of Wlckham Bros.,
which was 118,998. The . contract was
awarded to this firm by the Board of
Education conditional on the proposition
to levy an additional 17,500 meeting with
the approval of the voters of the district
Bids for the plumbing and heating, which
it Is expected will cost about $3,000, are to
be received by the Board of Education at
Its meeting tomorrow evening. The archi
tect's fees will require about $800, and the
expense of grading the property, it is ex
pected, will be about SS00.
The need of thla new school building In
the eastern part of the city to relieve the
congested condition existing at the Pierce
street school Is so apparent that no opposi
tion to the extra levy Is anticipated. It
had been the Intention to have this building
ready by the opening of the new school
year In September, but It Is doubtful If
this can now be accomplished.
