Chairman Meek presented the report of the#property committee which was adopted after some-ffscussion. Tuntee Thompson referred to the tenders received for the supply of coal for the schools. * The prices given had been so close, he said, that it would appear as if all the coalmen giving tenders had come to some unglerstand- ing in regard to the matter. Trustee Thompsdn also referred to the amount of coal used in some of the schools. He did not wish to cri- ticize the work of the caretakers, but wanted to know what check was kept on them. He had been given to un- derstand that one school with eight rooms had used ninety-three tons of coal, while a school having ten rooms had consumed only fifty tons. In connection with the fuel question, it might be stated that last season the coal used consisted 'of , 100 tons of hard coal snd 300 tons of soft coal. Trustee Meek . pointed out that it would be well to have some definite method of heating the schools, Some junitors were perhaps better able to attend to the heating than' others, but the system was one that could he regulated;-perhaps it would be advis- Kingston Carpet Warehouse able to have the method set forth by one man adopted by all the others. Trustee K. R. Anglin said that a comparison could not be made with the schools as to the amount of coal used, as all of the schools did net have the same method of ventilation. The report of the property commit- tee, which was carried, recommenged: That the tender of Kellar & Bell, for alterations to the Collegiate In- stitute and public school buildings, required by the fire by-law, viz., 8842, being the lowest of four tenders re- ceived, be accepted, and that the com- mittee he authorized to have the work performed according to specifications: that committee be empowered to ac- cept the lowest tender for the over hauling and improving of the Colle- ginte Institute elosets, so that the work may be proceeded with as soon as possible; on request of pupils of Collegiate Institute asking permission to ww. the lawn as a tennis court, that either a cinder or grass tennis court be made on the grounds on, the south side of the building under the supervision of Principal Ellis; that tenders of the following supplies and work mentioned, being the lowest, be soeepted : Fuel, Kingston Coal Co.
