Linoleums and Oil Cloths rXo Reduce Stook: IIKIIH wasqulte it breoae at a meeting of the School Boird list even ing ovor tho awarding of the contract for con strnctlng tlio proposed West Centre street school building. It was caused "by a question ai to whether tho oemuiilteo on building and repairs had a right to consider two bids received after tho timo stated in tho proposal notice, which was G p. in. of tho 24th Inst It seems that tho committee on building and repairs met on that date and opened all thu bids which had been received up to the hour named. Aftor tlm committee adjourned and as the members were about to disperse- reprn entivos of M. I. Fowler and William A Miller appeared and presented two bids. Tho committee returned to the place of meeting and opened them, but decided to let the Schoel Hoard decide whether they should bo considered legal. This was, substantially, the statement of Mr. Mnldoon, chairman of tho committee, to the board last night. Ho added that tho other bidders had objected to the late bids being considered. Messrs. Fowler and Miller wero in attend ance last night and maintained that if their bids were too late tho committee ahould have refused to accept I hem. A member of the board said it was 7:10 o'clock when tho two bids wero received and John J. 0'IIearu, representing the Shenan doah Feed & Lumber Company, said that he made known his bid on the streets, after submitting it to tho-oniniittcc, at G:30 o'clock. All the bidders present then retired and tho hoard proceeded to business. Secretary Frank Ilauna read tho following bids : John Coonoy, $7,700; Jesso Ii. Davis, $11,074; Daniel Kennelly, $12,000 ; Shenandoah Feed and Lumber Company, $11,500 ; John Ilauna, $11,100; Joseph W. Bell. $11,030; William Lang, siu.buu. Tho committeo mado no recommendation. Objections was raised to Mr. Muldoon reading the bids of Fowler and Miller, but tho president allowed them to bo read conjunction with tho etatement of tho com inittco as to tho manner iu which thoy wero received. Tho secretary also read a communication from Mr. Coonoy asking permission to with draw his hid and the request was granted Mr. Gallagher moved that tho contract ho awarded to Lang and Mr. O'Hcarn seconded the motion. Mr. Ogdeu amended to reject all bids and invito new ones. Mr. Burke seconded tho amendment. A spirited discussion followed during wblcl it was maintained that to tako tho two lato bids in or reject all would bo an injustico to tho bidders who had complied with the pro posal notice. Messrs. Ogden and Bachman argued in favor of the amendment and said it was not wise to stand upon n technicality when tho board could save several hundred dollars. Tho difference between tho lowest bid ro ceived before G o'clock and tho lowest of tho two lato bids was $1,700, and this amount should not bo thrown away on a technicality. On a voto tho amendment was defeated and tho motion carried. A report or tho exoneration committeo fixed Tax Collector Higgins' exonerations for 1602 at $3,971.51 was accepted and tho amount was granted. Tho report stated that tho committeo considered the amount fair iu view of the fact that tho duplicato was much larger than during previous years and the Idlo collieries had handicapped both tho people and the collector. The board decided to pay off $2,000 of its bonded indebtedness. The oommittoo on building and repairs was Instructed to prciare the contract for the now building and tho contractor's bond, and tlx August 15th, next, as the completion of tho building.

To glean this information the Hkkai.d has been obliged to conduct an enormous amount of correspondence At ouo time everything except tho actual faro was satisfactorily arranged, butafewwoekgngotho Pullman Palace Car Company withdrew terms it haul made with tho Philadelphia & Iteud ing Kailroad in the early part of the spring and Increased its rates thereby totally up setting all arrangements the Hkhalu had made, iJeternilneil that it would carry out all the promises It had mado to the public during tho contest the Heiiai.d received all disappointments aud rovorsos with patience and has at last formulated a plan with tho Philadelphia vfc Beading Comny by which it is enabled now to state just what the fare and oust of palaco car arrangements will bu Tho friends of tho winning teachers will bo afforded accommodations on a special train including Pullman parlor and sleeping car servico from Shenandoah to Chicago and ro turn, for $17, which will also includo a privi lego of stop-over ono point each way. This rato is $2 above tho Hi:kald'h previously announced estimate and tho increase is duo to a withdrawal of tho Palaco Car Company's first offer. For people who do not wish the advantages of a special train or stop-over privileges round tlip ticket, with sleeping berth, can bo furnished for $3!). Tho object of the Herald in providing for stop-over privileges was to afford tho ex cursionists an opportunity to mako a short stay at Niagara Falls if thoy desired to do so. With regard to hotel accommodations at Chicago, a long scries of correspondence has led tho Herald to tho conclusion that it will only assuino responsibility for board and lodgings for tho two toachcrs. It will under take to scenro lodgings for tho rest of tho party at $1 and upwards per day for each person. Now that theso arrangements aro made all who wish to take part in this special excur sion must send In their names with a deposit of $5 by Juno 10th. Should tho names received up to that dato bo insufficient to warrant an operation of tho arrangements tho special oxcursion will bo declared off and attention will bo directed to the accomnioda tion of tho two wiuning teachers, All arrangements must bo made by Juno 10th, so applications should be mado at once, During tho ensuing two weeks tho Herald will direct its attention to consultlug with several of tho contestants as to what part of July will be tho most convenient for tho oxcursion and in due timo announcement will be mado of tho timo fixed.
