Contract is Let for New School

Today the trustees of the city graded schools opened bids for the heating of the Orange Street (colored) school. There were only two bidders—the Smith Plumbing Company, $4,437, and W.L. Leonard, who guaranteed to have the heating apparatus installed by September 1st.
