Broken Bone in Dog's Leg Knits Under Fine Care With plans for tho new high school practically complete, tho Alton school board lant evening authorized Its architects to call for bids to bo opened on Thursday, May 0, at 2 p. m. Pro- will bo asked on a general con tract including electrical work; on a plumbing and heating contract; and on a heating and ventilating contract. After considering briefly the matter of cost, the school board empowered the architects to maka provision In calling bids that the auditorium may bo eliminated from the contracts should total cost of the projected school plant provo beyond the financial means of tho district at this time.

Members of tho school board are hopetul, however, that bids received will bo sufficiently low that funds can bo found to make possible completion of tho whole building scheme at one time.
