New Orleans Republican., 1873-08-07

Numerous applications for positions as
teachers and proffers of schoolhouses were
received and referred to the proper COM
mittees.
A communication was received from
Messrs. A. Rochereau & Co., accepting the
offer of $500 tor the property on Burgundy
street, provided repairs are made by the
board.
The committee on schoolhouses repor ted
fayorably on the proposition, and it was
accepted.
In the matter O.. the Perdido street school
Mr. Thompson presented the resolution au-
thorizing the president to make contract
with Mr.. Camp for the purchase of his
property and the lease signed by him and
Judge Dibble. The latter document did
not incorporate the resolution, and was
contrary to its spirit
General Longstreet moved that the board
refuse to accept the lease. Mr.. Thompson
suggested that Mr.. Camp was putting him
self to an expense Of from $4,000 to $4,000 on
the strength of the contract. Mr.. Ingra-
ham said the contract was not binding, ac
cording to decision of the Supreme Co urt.
Mr.. Gaudet suggested the matter be re-
ferred to an attorney. Mr. Mcconnell OBJ
jected. He had never known the board to
win a case when they had an attorney.
They had better buy the building, instead
Of paying $1,000 for a lawyers opinion. The
yeas and nays were called, and resulted:
To approve the lease, Mess1s. Clay and
McCarty-2. To disapprove, Messrs Clark,
Gaudet, Thompson, Longstreet, Carey,
Brodhead. Mcconnell, Rey and Ingra-
ham-9.
On motion of Mr.. lngraham, the board
resolved to enter into contract for two
years at rent Of 5000 per month, of the
two buildings, Nos. 345 and 352 Common
street.
On the question Of the consolidation Of
the Perdldo, Gravier and Howard Schools
into two schools, to be known as the Boys
and Girls Schools, the board adopted the
suggestion of the committee and voted
atfirmatively.
In regard to the want Of schoolhouse in
the Sixth District, the matter was referred
to the director.
Mr.. Thompson made some suggestions on
the Mason School, which were referred to
the director of the First District.
1t was agreed to erect branch building
to the Madison School at a cost of $1,000.
On the question Of consolidation of the
Crsulines and Chartres streets schools, Mr..
ThompsOn moved the adoption of the re-
port recommending it. Mr.. McCarty wanted
the two schools abolished because they
were exclusively colOred. Mr.. Ingraham
said it didn't make any difference. Mr.
Thompson said the law didn't know any
thing of race OF color-only public schools.
The report was adopted.
Orleans School was recommended TO be
consolidated with Claiborne School. The
board, instead. resolved to secure another
building.
The Hancock school building was re-
tanned at $40 per month, if put IN repair
by the owner.
Miss O'Brien presented a claim Of $l60
for time lost in being improperly dis.
charged in 1871. Allowed. TO be paid out Of
taxes received previous to 1873.
Further communications were received
referring to minor details aud referred to
appropriate committees. The board then
adjourned.
