Contract Award and Secure a I'ur
tinl Victory-Committee Wanted to
Dittriliiito l'atronasc, but Soma ot
the .He in be i , I'relerrcd to Husband
tlio riiiances.
Fred L. Wormscr, school controller
of the Klghth ward, submitted his res
ignation at last night's regular meeting
of the; board of control. The resigna
tion was prompted by his Intention of
moving to his new home on Linden
street In the Seventeenth wurd about
Feb. 1.
Near the cloe of the meeting Mr.
Wormser piesented his resignation. Ho
was obliged to speak btioily and with
great deliberation In order to stlfilclent
ly control himself to piopetiy make
his resignation known. He said:
On February 1. 1 shall remove ftom the
Klghth wurd which 1 have had the honor
to represent for the past eighteen years.
I deem it my duty to resign at this time.
In order to glvo the people of the ward
on opportunity to elect my successor at
the February lection, nnd 1 now tender
Mu m resignation to take effect forth
with. Hnfire retiring I take occasion to
thank the otllcers and members of this
board for the uniform courtesy shown m
His expressed reluctance and regret
were borne out by the apparent effort
It cost him to ihilsh his remarks.
Mr llark'ir, In offering a motion that
the resignation be accepted, paid a
high compliment to Mr. Woimsors
helpful business nnd tinunclal talent
nnd Ms strict Integrity. The motion
wns seconded and remarks of a com
plimentary nature made by President
Jennings, Mr. Welsh and Mr. Gibbons
in which they emphasized the fact that
n lnrs would be felt no less by the city
at large than by the board.
Mr. Wormser acknowledged the ex
pressions of regard in the following
words:
i
Mil. WOIIMSKU'S HKPLV.
It Is with feelings of regret thatl leave
this hoard, because my long continued
service in tho cause of education, to
which I have given so much time and
thought, has made its work pleasant nnd
agreeable. I might say it has become
second nature.
I have not one word to say In justl
ilcatlun of the motives that have con
trolled me, either personal or public. In
the exercise of my ouiclal duties. My ree
cord lias been made and I leave It In the
hands of thoe who have worked In the
vineyard with me nnd to those, who ha.'e
gatheie'd the fruits ot our labors.
As I look over the years that have
flown and recall the faces that gathered
round the council tables, some of whom
have gone lo their reward, 1 feel that I
can truthfully say that peisonal animos
ity never controlled my conduct. What
ever the results of my efforts in tho
cause of education have been, I desire to
say here nnd now, that 1 sincerely regret
that I wns not able to accomplish more.
1 shall always be glad to meet tnoso who
aro williim to give their time, their
thought and their foice to the cause of
popular education.
On motion of Mr. Ilarker and with
several seconders. It wns voted "as nn
expression of courtesy and apprecia
tion of Mr. Wormser" th'at he be uc-
eoided a seat among the members ut
all future meetings.
The pay roll of the officers nnd jani
tor for $Clfi.C7 and $1,713 respectively,
was appioved.
On motion of Mr. Welsh It wns voted
that the examinations for admission
to tho High School be conducted at
least one week before the opening of
the term.
HILLS OHDHHICD PAID.
A number of bills for final payments
to contractors on the heating, ventilat
ing, etc., at the new Nos. 10 and 2S
buildings were ordered paid. Mr.
Welsh objected to the payment of the
Smead & Wills company bill for the
dry closet and heating systems until
the work was accepted. Mr. Darker
moved to refer the bill back to the
building committee with Instructions
to report definitely on the condition
of the work. The motion prevailed nf
ter that of Mr. Gibbons' to table Mr.
Marker's motion had been lost. Later
In the evenlg that part of the bill re
lating to No. 10 building wns ordered
paid.
Mr. Davis tenewed in tho form of a
motion his suggestion at a former
meeting that three lots at $1,100 each
be purchased for bilildlng purposes In
the Fourth ward on the West Side of
Flllmoie avenue between S wetland
and Pettebone streets. Mr. Darker op
posed It on tho ground that It was
poslble that a differently constituted
board would succeed the present body
and It would not be wise to tie up any
future board in a transaction that
might not be approved, He thought
the old No, 19 building now In use In
that ward, the Fourth, could be Im
proved nt comparatively slight expense
so that It would meet the demands of
the locality In question.
Jlr. Wormser's views coincided with
those of Jlr. Darker. Mr. Gibbons fa
vored a purchase as did Jtr. O'Jlalley.
They argued on the beuuty of the site
and the probability of being able to
sell If so desired. The vote on the
question of purchase showed nine In
favor and six against, but President
Jennings declared tho motion lost ac
cording to the rule which requires that
a majority of all tho members must
authorize n purchase.
PLANS FOP. NO. 3.
The plans of Architect Duckworth for
a now No. 3 building in the Eleventh
ward, which were submitted at the
Inst regular meeting, were adopted
and the secretary directed to advertise

for proposals for furnishing tho heat
ing and ventilating appliances.
After tunny meetings the supply
commute was able last night to pre
sent a report but which did not ex
press tho wishes ot all Its members on
the award of contracts for furnishing
coal to the First. Second, Third and
Fourth districts. Mr. Devnnney, chair,
man of the committee submitted the
following report which was signed by
himself, Mr. Casey, Jlr. O'Mnlley. A.
Wulsh and Gcoige It. Shires.
Tho supply committee recommends the
accepting of the following bids lor roal:
Consumers' Iro company, Kit si dIMrlot;
M. J. Huddy, Second disltlrl; James
Kearney, 'third district, Clark iuniiel
Coal company, Fourth dlrtrlrt.
The members of the committee ad
mitted tho awards had not been rec
ommended to tho lowest bidders but
had been divided by districts among
four blddeis In order to spread the
board's patronage. .Mr. Unrker's mo
tion that tho contract for the First
dlsltjct be awarded to Jnmes Kearney
whoso bid was $2.45 and $l.ir as
against the Consumers company
whose bid was $2.33 and $1.30, wns lost
and the latter got the award. Jlessrs.
Davis, Carson, Casey, Jacobs, Darker
nnd Latignu voted tn award to the
lowest bidder.
Jlr. Darker. In considering bids for
the Second district, moved that the
award be to Jnmes JI. Murray, whose
bids were $2.18 and $1.10, instead ot to
JI. J. Huddy, recommended by tho
committee and whose bids were $2.17
and $1.19. It was argued In legnrd to
Jlr. Murray that coal furnished by him
in the past was of poor quality. A
motion to table Jtr. Darker's motion
prevailed. Jlessrs. Casey, Welsh, Ju
cobs, Schrlefer, Darker, Langan nnd
Jennings voting negatively. Huddy
was then given the contract.
The award for the Third district wns
mndo without debate to Jnmes Kear
ney, whose bids were the lowest at
$2.45 and $1.45.
In considering the Fotiith district
bids Jlr. Darker moved that the award
be made to James Kearney whose bids
were $2.45 and $1.15 Instead of to the
Clark Tunnel Coal company whoso
bids were $2.48 and $1.45. The motion
prevailed.
It was decided to have the new No.
15 building In the Twentieth ward
opened next Jtonday moinlng and to
attend the formnl opening exercises at
2 o'clock that afternoon,
FELL DOWN A SHAFT.
I'rcd. Vnn Huron's .Miraculous I2s
cape in Hoard of Trade Itiiildiiig.
Frederick Vnn Duron, the janitor In
the Hoard of Trade building, had a
hair raising adventure yesterdny
morning. He was oiling one of the large
wheels over the elevator shaft and was
standing on the iron beam on vvhlch
the wheel axle rests when the elevator
boy, who had no knowledge of the ele
vated perch that Van Duren occupied,
stnrted the elevator.
The big wheel also started and Van
Duren fearing the toe of his shoe would
be caught by the spokes of the re
volving wheel changed his position to
avoid this. In doing so his foot slip
ped on the oily beam and Van Duren
fell down the shaft. At the sixth story
hla hands came In contact with the
Iron grill work on the side of the shaft
and lie clung to It with desperate de
termination. A moment later the ele
vator reached this lloor and Van Du
ren was released from his perilous
position.
