If these questions are answered sat isfactorily to Dr. Keene, he will change his vote and ballot for Mr. i Ittner. instead of against him. he | said. The queries were presented Dr. I Keene declared, to obtain specific In formation regarding the contracts Mr. Ittner is said to make before com ! mencing work: to obtain a specific pledge as to the amount which will be spent before work is started on eon- I tracts let: and to learn whether the bulk of the big loan vfill be spent on buildings only, leaving the equipment, to be purchased by money raised by : taxes. Action on the selection of an archi i tect was deferred until A. Carson I Stamm. president of the board, re- I turns home. He is expected next i week. Mr. Stamm is also chairman of 1 the special committee which recom mended the appointment of Mr. Itt ner.
