PA'GE TWO Work Ordered 4 To Proceed on Wheatley School Architects Authorized by Board to Award Contracts Upper Alton News ot the Board of Education at a meeting Monday night decided to proceed with tha remodeling of Wheatley School building in the North fildt with practically no deviation from the plans as originally presented by Us architects, Pfelffenbcrger's Sons, and on which bids were taken last Thursday. The architects were authorized to let contracts to low bidders. At a special session last Friday evening, members of the school board had deferred the matter of authorizing contracts until some proposed cuts in the construction work could be considered with the Idea of lowering the cost of the remodeling job. But after considering the changes found possible'by Pfelffenberger's Sons, the members last night decided that it would be best to proceed on the original plans. They came to the conclusion after study of the proposed cuts Ih the work that.it would be advisable to expend a lltle more than originally Intended and secure ft fine building, one that would meet all needs and which would compare favorably with a new structure.

The only change authorized has to do with the heating system. A hot air system Is to be retained, but dome changes are to made in interest ot further economy. The total of low bids on the Wheatley job under original plans was IBOB4, but this total will be reduced. It indicated, after the change in heating Is reflgured. The low bidders on other parts of the work are: Charles Plager, general contract, $6574; Brunner Plumbing and Heating plumbing and sew- erlnp, $850; Electrical Construction and Supply electrical work, $383.

J. St. Schubert and National Ventil- attag of St. Louis were tied under th4 original bids on heating. The Wheatley work is the first work proposed under the recent $100,.

000 (trade school building program to reach the point where construction may start, but the architects will bo ready at an early date with the plans for an addition to Lovejoy building on Union streets, the colored junior high school.
