Row land was instructed by the Board of Education to enter negotiations with the low bidders in an effort to scale the two schools down to available funds. Rowland pointed out to the board that the bids were for about $7 per square foot which is in line with current building prices. He sum med up the situation by adding, “We didn’t start this war. The Rus sians did.” Negotiations with the low bid ders will consume not less than two weeks, Rowland told the board. As soon as this review has been made a called meeting of the board will be held to study the proposed changes that trill have to be made to bring the buildings down to the monies available. Rowland expressed pleasant sur prise over the number of bids of fered on the two jobs. Three gen eral, seven heating, four electrical and six plumbing contractors placed bids on the two schools.
