Settled With Contractor Riebe.
The borough school board met Monday evening. Directors McCarthy, Sweeney, Timony and Johnson were present. A settlement with Contractor Riebe was effected after the latter threw off his bill for extra work. He was then paid $1,620 and assigned the balance due him, $1,430, to the Hummels-town Stone Company, A. A. Bachman and William Johnson. This action clears the board from all claims of the contractor.
No effort was made to resume voting for the assistant teacher decided upon at Saturday evening's meeting. President McCarthy gave adverse views on such action, and that settled it.
