Completion of Wor|c on the Schools "
Not Likely Before Krst of May ^
The delays caused by non-delivery of kitchen equipment, the Installing of the Slréldon Equipment in the Clothing Room of the Home Economics and Arts and crafts, were responsible for the major part of the unfinished work .in the Junior High School. That was the report made to the Quaker Valley Joint School Authority, by Clerk of the Works, Fred A. Ague at the regular meeting on Wednesday evening, March 8th. At the Senior High School, delays caused by Sheldon installing equipment and kitchen equipment has delayed the plumbing and wiring, but the whole job shovdd_.be completed by March 24th, excluding some roadwork and landscaping which may be delayed by the weather.
The Authority, with seven members present, awarded contracts for movable equipment for both schools.- To answer any questions raised by the Authority members concerning the Industrial* Arts Equipment* Dr. Bedison asked Mr. Shaw of the senior high school and Mr. Niemala of the junior high school to be present at the meeting,	-
In;his report for February,^ Mr.
Ague added that at the end of the month, there were many minor items of work to be done. Dragging^pf the water and steam insulation is 'the worst, for it delays painting and causes quite a mess wherever th e 'work is being done. General clean-up .of the grounds" was made, but the-weather . conditions prevented ■* final front; grading of the grounds, >but some planting was done. School activities were- maintained, but delays to the 'kitchen and Sheldon Equipment have been- a handicap to ihe normal operations.
In the new addition -to the Senior High School, Mr* Ague reported that the General Contractor, the Chilli Company had practically completed his work during February. That made it possible for the school to occupy and use the Homemaldng, Chemistry,
Physics and two ‘"‘other dáss rooms.
He anticipated to have the Sheldon Equipment installed in the Biology,
Plant and Arts Booms by the middle of March, making 100 per cent of the new addition available for occupancy.
Lack of furniture for several other class rooms and the library is holding up occupancy of those rooms.
General work included dean-up, window washing, window shades, finish hardware, fireguard ceilings, floors, placing lockers, aluminum railings, folding gym partitions, display cases, planter box, book racks and painting.
Tlio principal, plumbing work consisted of connecting Up the Physics and Qhbmistry equipment, as well as fixture trimming, mirrors and pipe insulation, The Boiler inspector insisted on a manual operated boiler feed and the State forced the schools to install a secondary boiler control on the water columns on both boilers.
The electric lighting was finished and connected up, along With the fire alarm, dock nhd program systems, emergency generator set and various motors and controls put into service.
Delays caused by Sheldon installing equipment and kitchen, equipment has held up the plumbing and wiring, hut the whole job, except for outside work, should be done by March 24th, Mr. Ague reported.
In the existing Senior High Building, Considerable demolition was done in the Health Suite, the old Biology lab and Boom 203. The new Health Suite was completed, except for the floor by the end of February,
The other two rooms were ready for plastering by that timo, but further work Was. being held up until the old Library <can bo evacuated. Some wire lathing was done in the boiler room, but delays in patching and plastering was in* turn, holding up completion of the pipe insulation. Plumbing was roughed in, heating, ventilating and electric wiring was done to suit the job conditions* The new incinerator was installed and is very satisfactory.
