I Miss Kearns of Allaxidale was ap pointed to a vacancy on the West Ward staff, in place of Miss Dandel, lwho had been selected but who failed [to qualify. ` The matter is at a standstill, and 21 special meeting will be called to consider the best course to follow. The I`(;I)0I"lS did not mention that not one local contractor has put in an estimate. It has been, unofficial- ly, learned that one tender (from an outside contractor) placed the cost of the masonry, brickwork and car- pentry at $99,000. This would leave the plumbing, heating, ventilati.J.g~, furnishings, cost of site and im- provements to grounds, etc., to be gured-on, and these would bring [the cost up to $125,000, at least, and lpossibly much more. That the building of a new Col- legiate .wil1A not commence at once, or even this summer, is the general opinion of those who have been on the inside in regard to the few ten- ders received, and this impression was strengthened by Tuesday s meet- ing of the Board of Education. Trustees Dr. Richardson, VV. R. King and P. Love were not present and a bare quorum resulted.
