Mr.. Goetzel complained 20 the board that
he had lost by discount ON his city money,
received for school books, over 5000. Re-
ferred to finance committee.
Mr.. Sambola thought it wrong that teach
ers and others who hold claims from this
board against the city should lose money by
discount and by delays on the part of the
| finance committees of the common council,
if there exists fault anywhere.
The subject of discount on city money in
| payment of teachers and others connected
with this board was discussed, and Mr.. Gro
nan expressed his belief that if discount was
made good to one it must be made good to
all claimants. He considered it an uncer-
tain matter about the employees of the
/ school board obtaining any money at all
hereafter. Mr.. Cronan made motion to
refer the entire matter to the legal members
of This board for their opinions on the case.
Mr.. Paisley, member of the council re
moved by Sheridan, was eXcitedly inclined
to express his unsurpassed opinion that the

trouble, and that the members of that body
would at all times crush out the white race
if they could. He talked wide and wild
about that which he knew nothing.
Mr.. Sambola was willing to devote his
time and knowledge in advocating the
cause of school teachers and the matter of
their pay. He knew their salaries were not
/ .fIr
far too small.
The entire subject Of finance was referred
to the finance committee.
Superintendent Rogers will hereafter sub.
init his reports quarterly instead of monthly.
Mr.. Cronan gave notice that at the next
meeting he would offer a resolution to re-
peal the law which prevents teachers receiv.
ng pay while absent from cause of sickness,
