The propery committee reported ttiat further investigation of the advisability of InsUlling oU burning equipment waa made since the June meetng of the Board and it was found that at preaent prices of fuel oil there was no possibility of In¬ stalling such equipment at this time. It was therefore decided to use "Lehigh'' rloe coal during the 1934.1B3S school term, and the order for aU the ooal required during that term was awarded to the People's Coal and Supply Company at their quotation ot S4.35 per two thousand pounds.
