Show BOUGHT Till: RITER PROPERTY I Board of Education De- cidc to Give $5,000 Teachers Named and a Vote Taken on Clerk. H Tlio Hoard of Education met Friday tl . evening, inades offers to teacheis, fljpK took a couple of votes on the clerk- H ship with no result, decided to buy H a the Rlter piopeity and adjoin lied. The Clerkship. Two new names came up for con- sldcratlon in ttic tacc for the clot k- ship, Mi's. Hannah .lacobson and Joel I Ricks being named. Two ballots were I taken as follows: I First Mrs. Jacobsun, 2: Call Oarll, , I l;.Iou) Ricks, 1. I Second Mrs. Jacobscn, 1; Carl I Garff, 1; Alt Cole, 2. I The board then gave up the matter I as a bad job and Mr. Thaln awaits the I return of Mr. McLaughlin to be re- I leased from his job. 1 The Riter Property. i Thcic was considciablc discussion ,' us to the advislbillty of purchasing i the Rlter property. Mr. Thatcher 5 was not wholly In favor of It, but did vote against It. It was the opinion of the board that $.1,000 was a lather j still price, but they were convinced a that the piopcrty was badly needed, J could not be bought for less at this 1 time, and unlesstlic offer was accept- I cd now could not be bought at any reasonable price within a short time. Mr. Riter slgnltied his intention to P build thereon and rent if the board ' did not buy and the boaid bought. The members of the board aigue that the Parry grounds are not the exped- lent place to build by any means, and " It is pioposcd to add to the Woodruff. Inasmuch as one janitor could then look after It all, and one new heating I apparatus heat the whole thing, they seem to think this proposition is much the cheapest and best. It is tlguicd that an addition to the Woodruff extensive enough to supply sup-ply all needs can be built for $0,000. A line new building would cost from $12,000, to $1(1,000. The 3,000 to be paid Mr. Rlter leaves $.'1,000 In the building fund. If $:i,000 Is secured next year, the same as this, there will oe 40,000, and If i oom K Imperative, &1.000 can be bonowed and the $0,000 addition to the Woodruff erected. It seems that theie Is some little I hitch between Mr. Rlter and the Hoard at present. No Insists on hav-having hav-having his lent fice until September, Septem-ber, and the Hoard objects. A letter fiom Mr. McLaughlin to Tun RKruiincAN Monday morning said that he was not wholly in favor of buying buy-ing the Rlter rnopcrty.and If this contention con-tention holds until Mr. McLaughlin comes to Logan, the sale might be called off )ct. Other Little Matters. Tho finance committee was Instiuct-J Instiuct-J to make an estimate of next year's ex-',W- penses and report within one week. It was decided that the closing exercises ex-ercises should be held on May 10th In the Logan tabernacle. |
