Settlement of tho Disoussionon Desk
Contracts.
THE SCHOOL BOAED ACTS, !
TUo Written llccommoudntlon of tlio
Committee Is ltejeoted Upon n
Chance of Opinion Hrouchc
About by Inspection.
A special meeting of tho School Board
was held last evening to consider the re
port of the committee on buildings and
repairs concerning the bids for school
desks which have been the subject of so
much public discussion. The members of
tho board In attendance were Messrs.
Ogdeu, Trezlse, Hooks, Edwards, Lee,
Price, Devltt, Morjau, Coury, Connors
and Stanley.
The committee submitted a written re
port In which It recommeuded that tho
new desks required be purchased from the
local agents (for desks manufactured by a
nioomsburg company,) O'Neill Bros. The
bids for tho desks were as follows :
O'Neill Bros., 53 per desk; J. H. Evans,
Wllkesharre, $2.50; Max Reese, town, 82.33.
Tho desks Messrs. Evans and Reese rep
resented are manufactured in western
states. The members of the committee
are Directors Lee, Conry, Edwards, Mau
ley and Hooks.
When Director Morgan moved that the
recommendation of the committee be
adopted Director Hooks stated that he had
changed his mind since the meeting of tho
committee and had becomo convinced from
a personal Inspection of tho desk recom
mended that it was not as satisfactory, as
it might be, and ho moved an amendment
that the desk represented by the Wllkes
harre man be purchaseil .
Directors Conry, Dovitt and Maulev
spoke to sustain tho recommendation and
said the desk covered by it was worth fifty
cents more than the other.
Director Edwards said ho considered the
western desk the cheapest and that a
guarantee of ten years, or twenty years, if
required, could be had. He said he would
like to give preference to the Messrs.
O'Neill, because they are neighbors, but he
didn't think it right for tho board to pay
tne extra titty cents.
Director Hooks said he would vote for
the western desk because he believed it was
right and for the benefit of the taxpayers.
In response to a question Director Lee,
chairman of tho committee, stated that
when the desk matter was decided Direc
tors Hooks, Manloy ahd Conry voted for
tho recommendation and the other Dlrec.
tors didn't vote either way.
Director Mauley said tho chairman de
clared the motion carried unanimously.
Director Hooks said that was not the
question. The question was which the
Board would take. Tho Directors were in
session as a whole board, he said, and as
one he had changed his mind considerably
and be didn't care who know it.
After Director Lee stated he believed
that on the night of the meeting the com
mittee was In favor of the desk recom
mended, but that an examination of
binges had caused a change of oplnipn the
question was put and the amendment pro
vailed by a vote of 7 to 4. The motlou as
nmonded was thon put and carried by a
similar vote aud upon Director Coury
calling for the aye and nay vote Directors
Ogdeu, Trezlse, Hooks, Edwards, Leo,
Price and Morgan voted in the affirmative
and Directors Conry, Connors, Devltt and
Manly voted in the negative.
The recommendation that the contract for
the blackboards be awarded to a Slatlngton
firm was covered by tho motion to adopt.
When tho bids were called for it was In
tended to purchase 175 desks, and that
made the difference between the highest
and the next highest bidders 187.50, but
the committee subsequently discovered that
there were on' hand a number of desks that
could be repaired and made fit for use, and
the number of new desks were cut down to
84, so that the saving by the rejection of
the recommendation Is $42.

Another evidence of the rapid ndvanro

very large field, contemplating nothing less
than a news force embraciui? the wlmi nf
Schuylkill comity. Its columns will
contain news from every town and hamlk

Walter F. Roland, a newspaper man of
uiue experience. Speaking of his new
venture, ho said: "We Intend to furnish
as much news to each town as the local
paper can give, besides giving a resuuio of
me more important items from the county.
In politics we will be independent. I
believe iu the best man winuing, and I
snail always givo him my help, but I shall
owe allogoauco to no party. My main
object is to givo Schuylkill county a good
weekly county newspaper, aud I shall use
my best endeavors to advance the Interests
of the couuty." Mr. Noland has purchas
ed the plant of the Port Carbon Trolley,
published by Johu It. Boyer, sou of the
