WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for December 1901 Volume 01 - Page 203 1901-12-11 The board met at the school building pursuant to adjournment, all the members being present, also the principal and the clerk. In company with contractor S.E. Booker and Inspection of the annex under construction was made and everything appeared to have been done to the satisfaction of the board. Mr. Booker stated that he hoped to have it completed by Feb 1st, 1902. The matter of constructing a sidewalk within the campus to the Cedar and High street corner was left for future consideration. The question of purchasing opera chairs for the auditorium in the annex building was broached. Principal Mathes announced himself to be in receipt of letters from a number of firms who were desirous of furnishing them. The clerk was instructed to write to several firms mentioned by the principal and ask them to have a representative here with samples on a certain day, at which time the Board would inspect the samples and let the order. Principal Mathes reported to the board that per their adoption of a resolution to heed the faculty's request for a graduate librarian that he had entered into correspondence with Mabel Zoe Wilson of Athens, Ohio and that subject to the boards approval he had engaged her for that position. He further announced that it would be impossible for ther to commence the discharge of her duties prior to Jan. 1st 1902 and he recommended that Mrs. Ada B. Clothier the present librarian be retained as assistant librarian until such a time as Miss Wilson could finish catalogueing the library. The principal explained that Miss Wilson would need all the time intervening between the opening of school in September and Jan. 1 1902 in cataloguing the library. Mrs. Clothier's salary was left at the old figures. This resolution was then passed "Resolved that Mabel Zoe Wilson be employed as Librarian of the school at a salary of $600 per year of twelve months, she to enter upon her work Feb 1st 1902." Trustee Teck offered the following resolution of sympathy for Principal and Mrs Mathes is the loss of Paul, their nineteen months old baby which was unanimously adopted: WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for December 1901 Volume 01 - Page 204 1901-12-11 The members of the Board of Trustees of the state Normal School at Whatcom, Washington, assembled in adjourned regular session, here make simple record of the grief they feel and the profound sympathy and solicitude they hold in measure beyond their power of expression because of the great affliction visited upon Principal and Mrs. Mathes in the pitifully early death of their baby son Paul on the evening of Dec. 7th 1901 at the age of nineteen months. And we aim only to say where as little of comforting words may avail that as we feel ourselves into the sacred chapel of their sorrow our hearts are thrilled and give witness of lasting desire to comfort and to help. Thereupon the board adjourned. Record approved. L.H. Darwin, clerk. L.P. White, chairman. ##

Chairman Neterer stated that he had been looking up the law upon the subject and that it was unlawful for the board to create a deficiency and that at the meeting of May 10th the minutes were not kept full enough; that they did not convey the proper idea; and that these minutes the clerk had written the teachers notifying them that they had been continued at salary schedule adopted April 30th and amended May 1th and that the present schedule would be paid in warrants and that the balance would be certified by the board to the next legislature as a deficiency due the teachers by the school. Further he stated that he had that day explained the matter fully to the assembled teachers in the principal's room in the school building and- WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for June 1900 Volume 01 - Page 141 1900-06-04 that principal Mathes, Miss Rogers, Miss Montgomery, Prof Vaile and Prof. Eply had signified their intention of remaining at the old schedule which, of necessity, must remain in force until Feb. 1st 1901 that being the time approximately, when the present appropriation would become exhausted.

And whereas the clerk of the board of trustees did on the second day of June 1900 or thereabouts notify the teachers of the said school and did in the said letters as written convey the impression that a deficits claim or obligation on the part of the board of said school would be certified to the legislature as a deficits claim or obligation and ask an allowance for the same. And whereas the impression conveyed by the said letter based upon the resolution passed on the 10th day of May 1900 expresses a conclusion which is in violation of the laws of the state and does not express the decision actually arrived at by the board nor the understanding between the said teachers and the board; and whereas the teachers were requested by the clerk to signify their acceptance of the employment tendered and the same not having been accepted. And whereas immediately upon the foregoing facts being ascertained by the chairman of the board all the teachers were notified of the limited powers of the board by the chairman and that the board having no jurisdiction to enter into obligations for which there was not sufficient funds to pay and that the said employment so far as it pertained to the certifying of a deficit.

Therefor be it resolved; that the employment of all teachers engaged and to be engaged shall not extend beyond feb 1st, 1900 and that this board does not obligate itself nor the state to pay any salary for teaching after Feb. 1st 1900.

In the matter of securing wood for the ensuing year, the chairman reported mat Morgan Wheeler who had the contract to furnish 225 recks of woodat 1.00 per rick was willing to throw up that contract and furnish 4 foot slab wood at $3.25 per cord instead. The clerk and Janitor were instructed to go to Van Wyck and purchase not to exceed 75 cords of live body per wood at a price not to exceed $3.25 per cord.

To board of trustees state normal school. Gentlemen: since I have thought the matter over carefully, and as the means for the maintenance of the school is limited, and that some of the teachers are getting only $50.00 per month, I believe that it would not look just right for the janitor to get as much as a teacher. I have concluded that I will remain at the old salary. I am respectfully J.A. McBride. Mr. Edens said that he believed that Principal Mathes would not like to see a change made unless it would mean considerable saving to the school. Mr. Teck expressed himself in a similar strain and added that the board was aware that Mr. McBride knew his business while a new man would have to learn his dutues in a measure.

The motion prevailed. The clerk was ordered to draw the teacher's payroll on Dec. 18 instead of Dec 31st that they might have their salaries before Christmas.

Now therefore be it resolved that it is the (?) of this board to pay to the persons having claims against the board the amounts thereof in cash instead of authorizing the delivery of a state warrant for the sums due and thus save to the board and the said school thereby the premiums which can be realized upon said warrants. Therefore be it further resolved that the chairman and clerk of this board are hereby authorized and instructed to make such arrangements as may be necessary to carry out the intentions of the board in the premises. Record approved. Board adjourned. L.H. Darwin, clerk. Jere Neterer, chairman. 1899-07-25 Special. Board met of chairman Neterer - present trustees Neterer, Edens and Teck.

Record approved March 18, 1897. O.H. Culver, clerk. Eli Wilkin, chairman. 1897-03-18 Board met at 3:30PM pursuant to call with all members and the clerk present. The minutes of the meetings of Jan. 30, Feb. 4, Feb. 10 and March 5 were read and approved. Governor Rogers having (?) the legislative appropriation for the equipment and maintenance of the school, rendering its organization at the present time impossible and leaving no funds available for the care of the building, the clerk was directed to write to the governor and inquire if any (?) provision had been made or could be- WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for March 1897 Volume 01 - Page 055 1897-03-18 made by his authority for the proper protection of the property. The clerk was also directed to call the (?) in writing of all attorneys known by him to represent creditors of the contractor, to the importance of reaching an early determenation as to the desposition of the funds remaining in the hands of the trustees to the contractor's credit, the clerk having been notified that any funds remaining to the credit of the appropriation offer April 30 will revert to the state. Vouchers were ordered to the state auditor for the issuance of warrants in payment of claims allowed as follows: Voucher No. 71. Favor of Whatcom Transfer Co. $3.00, for carriage hire on account of senate committee. Voucher No. 72. Favor of Harry Pathson, $15.60; expenses of trip to Olympia by request of the board. Voucher No. 73 favor of O.H. Culver, $23.20; expenses of trip to Olympia by order of the board $16.60; office supplies, postage, telegraph and telephone services $6.60. Voucher No. 74, favor of O.M. Jenkins, $35.00; services as watchman to March 20, as agreed. The expenses covered by vouchers Nos. 72 and 73 were incurred by the clerk and Mr. Pattison in carrying out the instructions given to them by the trustees at an unofficial meeting held Sunday March 7, at which time it was decided to send the clerk to Olympia with the records and documents learning upon the claims of Contractor Davey for "extras," then pending before the legislature, and Mr. Pattison to render such assistance as he might be able to in the matter of securing a reasonable appropriation for the equipment and maintenance of the school. This informal action of the members of the board was ratified at this meeting. Adjourned. Record approved March 31, 1897. O.H. Culver, clerk. Eli Wilkin, chairman. 1897-03-31 Board met at 4PM pursuant to call, with all members and the clerk present. The minutes of the meeting of March 18 were read and approved. WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for March 1897 Volume 01 - Page 056 1897-03-31 The clerk reported that he had complied with the instructions of the board in the matter of writing to the governor relative to the care of building, and had received a reply from the governor's secretary approving the suggestion and have the building occupied to avoid the necessity of boarding up the doors and windows, but ignoring entirely the question as to whether any executive provision had been or could be made for payment for such occupancy and care. The clerk also reported having written, as directed, to attorneys representing creditors of the contractor in regard to the disbursement of the balance due upon the contract. The clerk further reported that the state auditor had returned vouchers Nos. 71, 72, and 73, stating his reasons for so doing. As it was apparent that he did not fully understand the nature of the claims, the chairman was requested to write to him and explain them more fully. Owing to the action of the governor in vetoing the legistlative appropriation for the equipment and maintenance of the school, leaving no funds available for payment for the care of the building after the appropriation for construction is eshausted, the services of O.M. Jenkins as watchman were dispensed with and he was allowed $13.00 for his services March 20. A proposition was submitted from Jasper N. Warren to take care of the building and reside there for a period of two years, or until the next legislative session, and rely wholly upon the legislature for his pay for such service. The offer was accepted and the chairman and clerk were authorized to execute a proper agreement with Mr. Warren and furnish him a copy. On account of the considerate amount of extra work made necessary for the clerk by reason of the complications in the settlement of the contract due to the contractors failure to meet his obligations, the clerk was allowed $25.00 extra compensation for the three months ending March 31. Vouchers were ordered certified to the state auditor for the issuance of warrants in payment of claims allowed as follows:- WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for March 1897 Volume 01 - Page 057 1897-03-31 Voucher No. 75, favor of O.H.

The chairman called upon the contractor to present his bill for such extras- WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for January 1897 Volume 01 - Page 048 1897-01-19 as had been ordered by the board, but he declined to do so, stating that he intended to make his claim for such work in connection with a general claim for extras which he would present after the acceptance of the building. The remainder of the session was taken up in discussion of the architect's report and the position taken by the contractor in the matter of his claim for extras. Adjourned.

It further says that the amount yet due is $292.00, and is signed Skillings and Corner. The report is as follows: "New Whatcom, Wash., Jan. 19th, 1897. To the Hon. Board of Trustees State Normal School, New Whatcom, Wash. Gentlemen: The contract entered into by W.B. Davey for building the State Normal School at New Whatcom, Wash. has been completed substantially according to the plans and specifications and I recommend its acceptance by your Board subject to the following conditions: there should be a deduction made for brick in boiler room $38.00; There should be a deduction made for sewer pipe 21.00; There should be a deduction made for wood partition 3.00; There should be a deduction made for blackboards 15.00; There should be a deduction for repairs in painting 100.00; There should be a deduction made for kalsomining 25.00; There should be a deduction made for cleaning (?) not done 40.00; $242.00. This should be retained until electric work is- WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for January 1897 Volume 01 - Page 049 1897-01-20 completed, the sum of $50.00. Recommended that the board accept the imperfect sinks. They have the right, however, under the contract to insist upon their being replaced by perfect ones, and withholding payment for plumbing until this is done. There is yet lacking of the hardware the escutcheons of the dead locks for the doors. Also it will be necessary to replace six push plates by pulls. The contractor has agreed to make this matter right and should be required to do so before this bill is settled. Respectfully submitted, W.P. Skillings for Skillings and Corner, Archts." Following the reading of the report the following resolution was adopted upon motion of Mr. Higginson, seconded by Mr. Edens, "Resolved that the report of Skillings and Corner, by W.P. Skillings, to this board, dated Jan. 19, 1897, whereby it is recommended that this board accept the Normal School building as "completed substantially according to the plans and specifications" under which it was constructed by W.B. Davey, subject to certain conditions in said report stated, is, after due consideration, approved to the extent here following, viz: This board hereby accepts said building subject to the conditions provided and set forth in the report of Skillings and Corner, architects, and subject also to the further condition that in such acceptance this board shall not and does not waive any right or claim in its behalf, or in behalf of the State of Washington, under the provisions of paragraph VI, page 3 of the contract for the construction of said building entered into by said W.B. Davey with this board, and in such acceptance it also reserves the right to use any proper and equitable matter in its favor growing out of the construction of said building, either in the material or the work thereon varying from or not conforming to the drawings and specifications for said building, as a defense or offset, so far as would be just, against any claims for alterations or extras that the contractor may file or urge against this board in any settlement with it, but this is not to apply to any alteration or extra ordered by the architects in writing- WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for January 1897 Volume 01 - Page 050 1897-01-20 and heretofore noted of record in the minutes of this board." E.S. McCord, representing contractor Davey, thereupon presented a claim for extras, consisting of 41 items and amounting to $4395.70. It was ordered filed with the clerk and at the request of the chairman the contractor agreed to furnish two additional copies.

On motion of Mr. Higginson the chairman was authorized and requested to go to Olympia and- WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for January 1897 Volume 01 - Page 051 1897-01-20 and consult the attorney general, or his assistant with reference to the proper interpretation of the contract of W.B.

The matters involved were fully discussed and the clerk was directed to request the contractor to submit to the board at his earliest convenience his answers to the following question relating to certain minor alterations proposed vis: If the water tanks which the specifications provide shall be erected under the roof, and the pipes connected therewith, are omitted from the contract what deduction in price will you make? What deduction will you make from the contract price if the plastering is omitted from the ceiling of the basement corridor and for a distance of two feet down the walls all around? What addition, if any, will you make to run the outside drain pipes along the contour of the ground, instead of constructing said drains as specified? How much extra will you charge to line the copper over the ventilating stacks with ship-lap and fasten the same securely to the iron frames? The following resolution was offered by Mr. Higginson and laid out for consideration at the next regular meeting and the clerk was directed to furnish a copy to the supervising architect, Mr. W.P.

WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes fo August 1896 Volume 01 - Page 036 1896-08-01 It seemed apparent to the board that some of the estimate previously allowed must have been somewhat larger than the progress of the work warranted and Mr. Skillings admitted that such was evidently the case.

Board of Trustees, State Normal School, New Whatcom, Washington. On a review of former estimates given the contractor and taking into consideration the contract price for the completion of the building, we are of the opinion that the estimates have been too liberal on the amount of labor and material heretofore placed in the building, and (?) the estimate for the labor and material during the month of July should be placed as follows: Lumber in place $700; Frames 65; Plate iron 40; Stone work 800; Granite 200; Pressed brick 325; Common brick 930; $3060; Respectfully submitted, Skillings and corner, W.P.

Mr. Higginson made an explicit verbal report to the effect that Mr. Evans had made a careful examination of the samples of stone, cement and sand shown him; that he had pronounced the stone of similar character and apparently equal in quality to the (?) stone used in the foundation of the state capitol, and that in his judgement it was well adapted to the use intended in the Normal School building, but he further expressed a personal preferance for the use of pressed brick in such a building in this climate, he found no fault with the cement but condemned the sand as containing too much vegetable matter and (?), flinty pebbles. The reason for his opinions were fully explained to Mr. Higginson and by him to the board. In (?) to the suggestion of the chairman. Mr - WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for February 1896 Volume 01 - Page 027 1986-2-11 Higginson said he would file a written report with the clerk which he did. Mr. Skillings was then called upon by the chairman to report as to his examination of the sand, cement, and foundation so far as built, which he did. As to the foundation he expressed the fullest approval and stated that would stake his preofessional reputation upon its absolute solidity and durability. He agreed Mr. Evans in the condemnation of the sand and stated that he had already directed the superintendent not to permit the use of anymore of that character, and had also given him instructions as to the mixing and use of the cement. An adjournment was then taken until 10 o'clock the following morning to give the architect time make an appropiate estimate of the relative cost of pressed brick and stone, if used in the construction of the building according to the approved design. 1986-02-19 Board met at 10 AM pursuant to adjournment with the all members, the clerk, Architect Skillings, and contractor present. Mr. Skillings reported his estimate of the relative cost of stone and brick according to the respective designs, and the contractor asked for a few days more time in which to determine which material he would use, he having been given the option of using either. The request was granted. The board being advised that work upon the foundation would not be delayed in consequence. The record of the meeting of Feb 11 was read and approved and the board then adjourned, no other business being presented. 1896-2-26 Board met at 10:30AM pursuant to call of the chairman, all members, the clerk and contractor present. The contractor formally withdrew his proposition to substitute stone for pressed brick and Hills' sand brick in the construction of the building on account of the matierally greater cost of stone as revealed by the figure furnished by the stone cutters. He also stated that he had closed a contract with the Denny Clay Company of Seattle, - WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for February 1896 Volume 01 - Page 028 1896-2-26 for pressed brick and that he was ready to proceed with the construction of the building as required by the contract and specifications. The following resolution was the then offered and adopted upon motion of Mr. Higginson: "Inasmuch as this board heretofore expressed the sense in favor of changing the contstruction of the outer wall of the Normal School Building from pressed and sand brick, with stone trimmings to stone if the same could legally and safely be done, and now after a full investigation it is found the board has full legal right to make such change, if desired by the contractor and consented to by the sureties on his bond, but on account of the large amount of tooled work required to be done upon the stone, under any design and plan acceptable to this board. The expenses that would be incured by reason of such change make it impracticable to make the change contemplated though much desired by the board; therefore resolved. Then the contemplated change be abandoned and that the contractor is hereby instructed to proceed without delay under the original contract, plans and details." Adjourned. ##

All members, the clerk, architect, superintendent, contractor, and engineer present. The minutes of the meetings of Nov 1 to Nov 14 inclusive were read and approved. The clerk reported the receipt of a letter from the Deputy State Auditor stating that the files of "the Blade" and the "Rivers Publishing Co" for publishing the board's "Notice to Contractors," the former for $4.50 and the latter for $6.20, had each been raised by the State Printing Board to $6.00 and warrants issued accordingly. It appearing that the said State Printing Board has full authority under the law to raise or reduce any bill for advertising to make it conform to the price fixed therefor by statute. The board, while disapproving the entirely unnecessary charge of $2.30 against the Normal School appropriation, directed the clerk to make a proper record thereof and note in red ink the amount of the increase on vouchurs Nos. 15 and 20 covering said bills. The architects submitted to the board a report of the excavation for the buildings, showing the amount due the board according to the time of the contract as follows: "Amount of excavation as shown on drawings to basement floor level and included in contract 1516 yards." Amount of actual excavation as completed by engineer from the cross section of site, 828 yards." "Amount to be allowed the board by the contractor 688 yards at 25 cents a yard $172.00. Signed "Skillings and Corner." WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for December 1895 Volume 01 - Page 022 1895-12-31 There being some questions between the contractor and engineer as the to the amount of excavation allowed and it appearing to the board unnecessary to make a settlement therefor at this meeting it was deemed as an accommodation to the contractor to allow him the full amount of his estimate, less the 20% to be retained by the board under the provisions of the contract. The contractor made a verbal proposition to the board to substitute sandstone for pressed brick and Hills sand brick in the contruction of the building at the same cost to the state, the stone to be from the new quarry on the Fairhaven Land Company's property about one quarter of a mile southeast of the building site, samples of which stone were presented for the examination of the board and the architects. The matter was discussed at considerable length, the architect and superintendent having given a favorable opinion as to the quality of the stone. As the propsed change, if made, would require new drawings of the elevations and exterior details, and if appearing from the statement of the contractor that such a change would be a material benefit to him, although giving the state a building which under ordinary circumstances would cost considerably more than the sum named in the contract, the architect was authorized to make the supplementary drawings necessary to show the board and the contractor the appearance of the building and manner of construction if built of stone, it being understood and agreed by the board, the contractor and architect that the contractor shall personally pay the full cost of said supplementary drawings if not adopted by the board, and if adopted he shall pay the full cost less the amount of this extra allowed him by written order of the architect for making the foundation wall six inches wider than is shown on the drawings if the building id built of brick. On motion of Mr. Edens vouchers were ordered- WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for December 1895 Volume 01 - Page 023 1895-12-31 certified to the state auditor in payment of bills allowed by the board as follows: Voucher Number 21 - favor of William B Davey, $442.16 being 80% of first estimate on building contract. Voucher Number 22 - favor of A. Lee. $14.00 for 3 and 1/2 days service as superintendent. Voucher number 23 - fave of A.C. Campbell $17.00 for engineering work. Voucher Number 24 - favor of O.H. Culver $102.90 for salary as clark and incidential expenses from Oct 1 to Jan 1. The contractors voucher (Number 21) was allowed in accordance with the following "Estimate for Contractor," signed by Skillings Corner and hearing date Jan 1, 1896. "51 (?) of stone work at $2.70." "Amt of excavation, 1340 yards at 25 cents." Amt allowed for drain pipes and sewer work." $137.70 + $335.00 + $80.00 = $552.70. No further business being presented the board adjourned. Record approved Jan 31, 1896. O.H.Culver, clerk. Eli Wilkin, chairman. ##
