At a meeting of the Bemidji school board last week, the contract for the new school house was let to W. H. Cordin of West Superior at the gross price of $7,300. In order to reach this figure some minor alterations were made in the plans, but the main features were adhered to. The contract for the steam heating and ventilating plant was awarded to the American Steam Heating Co., of Duluth for $1,100. The plans of the architect in this case were not used.
