Upon resolution from the Board Of Alder
men, authorizing the sale at auction of the con-
tract for the building Of q school-house on
Bagatelle street, your committee report that
they are reluctantly compelled to report against
the measure, for the reason that the consent of
| the Council to erect School-house in this Dis
| trict would be precedent for all the other Dis
tricts to ask for a similar favor. Your COM
mittee would recommend to the Directors Of the
Third District the laudable example set by the
Directors of the Public Schools of the Fourth
, District, who have built a ol-house out Of
the School appropriation of that District.

The undersigned, members of the Improve

relation to building to be erected on Bagatelle

will be of great advantage for the city to con.
cur with the Board of Aldermen in said resolu.

the lot of ground on which said building is to be
erected belongs to the city, and has been bought
by the old administration for said purpose, and
also because the building now used for the Pub
lie School of said Ward is entirely too small and
t completely unfit for containing all the children
of said Ward, thereby rendering said building
very unhealthy In consequence of this, they
recommend the concurrence of your Board il

t men. L. BuRTHE'
