FIREWORKS ON PROGRAM OF SCHOOL BOARD Anticipate Another Storm at Secret Session Tomorrow Night of Commissioners. CERTAIN BIDS REJECTED When the board of school commissioners meets In secret session tomorrow night to consider the report submitted several weeks ago by H. A. Roney, n public accountant, which severely criticises the business management of the board, which is under the direction of George C. Hitt, a sequel to the stormy meeting of Saturday afternoon is expected to develop. I That session started out in a quiet fashion to consider bids on heating, ventilating, plumbing and electric wiring at schools Nos. 57 and 73, but ended in dissension and discord, during which Mrs. Julia Belle Tutewiler, president of the board, left the room after requesting Bert S. Gadd to take the chair. Other features of the day were a message from Jesse Eschbacb, State examiner for the State board of accounts, standing pat on his disapproval of the plans and specifications prepared for beating and ventilating at Schools Nos. 57 and 73 prepared by the firm of Snider & Rots, engineers for the board, and a letter from Albert Baker, attorney for the board, declaring that in his opinion it is illegal for the Enquirer Printing Company, of which Clarence E Crippin. a member of board, is a stockholder, to publish the Bulletin, an official school publication. Mr. Baker also requested that an attorney other than himself be employed to pass upon the legality of the contract between the board and L. A. Snider, building adviser, and the firm of Snider & Rots, engineers. MRS. TUTEiVILF-B LETS MR. BARRY SPEAK. It was a busy and quarrelsome afternoon, and bad'feeling between various members of the board was apparent from the outset. Mrs. Tutewiler's withdrawal from the meeting occurred after a difference with Charles A. P>arry, a member of the board. During the discussion Mr. Barry made the remark that the presiding officer was worthy of consideration because, of her sex, and for that reason he would not reply to her as he would If site were a man. Mrs. Tutewiler then asked Mr. Gadd to take the chair and left the meeting after saying that Mr. Barry might then feel free to speak. The activity of the Taxpayers' League in condemning the contracts between the board and L. A. Snider and the firm of Snider & Kotz, brought forth a scathing denunciation of the league rom Mr. Crippin. He charged that the letter issued by the league last week was a misrepresentation in many ways and failed to state the truth in many particulars. This letter was signed by Alfred Potts, and Mr. Crippin denounced it as an attempt to delay the school building program. The next thing to come in for attention was the State board of accounts, and this caused one of the bitterest discussions of the day. Mrs. Tutewiler stated that in her opinion what she termed the hostility of the State hoard of accounts toward the school board was due wholly to the fact that the latter did not appoint John Twiname, who is the father of Walter Twiname, an employe of the State board, superintendent of buildings and grounds, several months ago. REJECT HEATING AND VENTILATING BIDS. This brought W. D. Allison, a poarl member, into the fray with the remark that in his opinion Mr. Twiname is a thoroughly conscientious man and perfectly honest and reliable in the discharge of his duties. Mr. Barry supported this view and he added that he thought it was very poor policy for the school board to question the State body in the face of legal advice from the board's attorney that the wishes of the State board should be followed. The ultimate result of all this was that all bids for heating and ventilating were rejected and new plans and specifications will be drawn to meet the re I quirements of the State board of accounts. However, as no fault was found with the piumbing and electrical plans and specifications these contracts were let. The Cotton-Wiebke Company was awarded the contract for plumbing for school No. 73 on a bid of $20,842, and Strong Bros, were given the plumbing contract at school No. 57 on a bid of $19,737. The. Hatfield Electric Company was the successful bidder for both schools on bids of $7,000 for No. 57 and $4,807 on No. 73. At the time this discussion was under way suit for damages of $50,000 was filed by Clarence O. Shipp, engineer, against the State board of accounts in the Marion Circuit Court. The complaint alleges the board exceeded Its legal authority in refusing to approve specifications for heating and ventilating at Schools Nos. 57 and 73. In refusing to approve the plans and specifications prepared by the firm of Snyder & Rotz for the above schools the State board took particular exception to those sections concerning the ventilating, insisting that they were so worded as to make it impossible for the contractor to use devices other than those manufactured under patents owned by

Shipp. It was further stated that the use of these devices was contrary to orders of the State board of health. In his suit Mr. Shipp claims that the board of health has no right to prescribe the manner of heating and ventilating school houses. The following defendants were named in the suit: Jesse E. Eschhach, examiner for the State board of accounts; William G. Oliver, Auditor of State, and Governor Warren T. McCray, constituting the board. Lawrence F. Orr and Walter G. Owens, deputy examiners; Charles A. Rockwell, audit clerk, and Walter J. Twiname. field examiners. MEEKER NEUTRAL ON GERRYMANDER Representative Says Precinct Lines Give No Worry. Plans of the Jewett-Lemcke-Roeraier faction of the Republican party to get an ordinance through the city council changing the boundaries of city precincts so as to add approximately forty and provide an opportunity for Juggling precinct committeemanships to advance the candidacy of Mr. Thomas C. Howe for the Republican mayoralty nomination, drew from Woodburn Masson, attorney, personal representative of Thomas Meeker, Democratic city chairman in the boundary argument, this statement today: "It is immaterial to Mr. Meeker, the Democratic chairman, and bis committee whether the precinct boundaries are changed or permitted to remain as they are. Changing the boundaries and making new precincts may result In the necessity lor reorganizing some of our executive committees where the new boundaries change the membeis’ voting residences. "Personally, I believe the best plan would be to piass an ojdiuance conforming the boundaries to the way they were last fall, adding the newly annexed territory to the nearest adjoining precincts. This will save the endless confusion that will result if the boundaries are changed and new precincts created before the primary. From their experience at the election last fall the voters know In wiiai precincts they reside. After the passage of the ordinance there will not be sufficient time before May 3 tor them to ascertain the new boundaries. "There will be ample time after the primary to go Into the carefully and make such changes and additions as are shown to be necessary. There will be no overcrowding in voting at the primary in any precinct. While the vote may be large, it will not reach 50 per cent of the vote cast last November.” Mr. Mnsson was Democratic election commissioner in the election last fall. The city legal department and the city civil engineering department are not expected to have the new boundary ordinance ready for introduction in the city council for several days. It Originally was planned to Introduce it tonight. HOG CHOLERA in BLACKFORD. HARTFORD CITY. Ind., March 21.—An epidemic of hog cholera Is raging In Jackson township, east of this city.
