STEEL MEN TO MAKE BID FOR TRADE IN FRANCE New York, March 6. —Steel manu facturers to-day considered the French government's action in annulling the tariff on rails as a direct bid for im portations from the United States. It was thought that England's mills would be able to do little in filling the demand of French railways, because of labor shortage and the call of her colonial railways upon the surplus output. It is believed here that the tariff of $lB a ton probably will be re stored as soon as the emergency has passed, and such advantage as manu facturers may obtain from the change must be seized quickly.

School Board to Arrange For New Building in Upper End in Preparing Budget At the April meeting of the School Board necessary steps will be taken by the directors to provide in the budget for the cost of issuing $90,000 worth of bonds to cover the erection of the proposed new school building at Fifth and Mahantongo streets. The floating of the bond issue was author ized last evening by the board upon motion of Director Werner. The board, it is understood, can readily float the bonds without going before the people for authority. The original provision asked by Mr. Werner was $75,000, but as this was considered in sufficient to provide a modern struc ture of the type that director desired the additional $15,000 was tacked on. Although Director Yates offered odd opposition to the plan, the directors last evening turned over the uncom pleted contract on the new Shimmell building to the Edward B. Carley Com pany. of New York. He is a subcon tractor who is plastering the building. Mr. Yates, when it became evident that John W. Emory, the original con tractor, couldn't go on with the work, the Fidelity and Guaranty Trust Company of Baltimore, Emory's bondsman, should finish the job. The structure is to be turned over com pleted by June 12. At a date to be definitely fixed dur ing the latter part of this month the School Board will make its annual tour of inspection of the Rchools. C. Howard Lloyd was paid SSOO on account of his work to date on the Shimmell building. FORMER PATROLMAN PLANS TO ORGANIZE POLITICAL CLUB S. H.
