| TIE School BooK QUESTION IN CorRT.-It
| has been known that for some time the Board
| Of Education Of this city has had in contem-
| plation the purchase Of stock of books
| used in the public schools, with view Of
supplying them to the pupils at cost prices,
the Board proposing to purchase them at
publishers prices. A special committee Of
the Board have had the matter in charge for
some time aud at the last meeting reported
in favor OF purchasing the books upon the
terms and prices proposed by s. G. Grlggs
& Co., Of Chicago. This action of the Board
has caused much complaint among other deal

unflirness OF perhaps a want Of fa1rness in the
award. The matter was therefore held under
adTisement by the committee. :: But on Mon
day Mr. P. T. Sherlock, the dealer mi second
hand books, applied through counsel to the
Hon. J. M. Wilson, Of the Chancery branch Of
the Superior Court, for an Injunction to re-
strain the Board, its officers, committees and
the School Agent, from making any contract
for books, OF from purchasing books, or for
becoming liable in any way for the purchase
OF books, or from the diversion Of any Of the
school fund for any such purpose. Judge
Wilson granted the injunction, aud we believe
notice of Was served upon all the parties On
Tuesday.
The plan proposed by the Board, intended
that the books should be delivered By the su-
peEintendent to the Principals Of the several
schools, to be by them delivered to the pupils
at cost prices, for cash; that as the cash was
thus obtained from the sale Of the books 1t
should be paid over to the publisher. This
required no actual expenditure Of money for
purchase OF the books, though It did involve
liability. It is denied that the city govern
ment or the School Board have any power to
use any part Of the school fund, or to charge
that fund With any liability, except for the
payment Of teachers salaries, and the erection
and furnishing Of echool-houses.
