Board Delays Roosevelt School Bid Opening in Gains Park Addition

Contractors refuse to bid on the project amid wage-scale conflicts between master builders and union crafts. The meeting also welcomed new member Mrs Howrey, elected president Dr H A Boysen, and discussed Foster School Gardens with Women’s Club involvement.
