After the reading of the resolution, AL

After the reading of the resolution, Al
derman Baxter made some explain atoms
in regard to it. He stated that the teach
ers in the first grade were certainly good
teachers and deserving of the increased
salary, and if the schools were to lose
their services, it would be impossible fol-
the Board to supply their places with
equally as good teachers for less than the
committee recommended to be paid.
Alderman Carpenter said he thought the
Board should act on the principle of econ
was not in favor of raising the teachers
salaries as much as had been spoken of in
] the report.
Alderman Logan was not i'll favor Oh IN
creasing their pay as much as the commit
tees report asks for. He was for economy.
Alderman Baxter made some more ex
planatory remarks in regard to the duties
of the teachers, and read an estimate in re-
gard to the small pay of the teachers in
comparison with other labOrers. He
thought to refuse this increase, land perhaps
his judgment, false economy. He called
for the question.
The motion to adopt the resolution was
lost.
Alderman Baxter and Yardley called for
the ayes and noes, which resulted as fol-
lows:
Ayes-Baxter, Yardley, Livingston,
Henderson, Waters, Camps.
Noes-Atkin, Gilbert, Logan, Glass
Park, Kern, Sullivan, Carpenter, and
Cruze-9.
Alderman Gilbert wished to make mo-
ton to have two additional policemen
elected.
Mayor Rule asked that he put his motion
in writing.
Alderman Camp read resolution in re-
gard to opening same streets in North
Knoxville, and asked that it lie left with
the Street Committee. He also made some
remarks in explanation of the resolution.
Alderman Atkin stated that the i'm
provement was very necessary, but he did
not think that the city should pay for the
right of way.
Aldermen Carpenter did not think that
the city should pay for the right of way,
but thought the improvement very impor-
tant. He offered slight amendment to AL
derman Camps resolution, which was
adopted.
Alderman Camps resolution as amended
was then put before the Board and car
red.
Alderman Kern offered the following
resolution:
Resolved, That the Street Committee be
authorized to grade Craig street, extend
High street to Asylum street, to open and
grade Pine street, east of Kennedy street,
finish the grade of Temperance street, be-
tween Clinch and Cumberland streets, and
finish the grade of Fouche street.
Alderman Henderson stated that before
any street could be opened that would cost
over 500, 1t must be left to the Board.
Alderman Kern explained his resolu-
ton that it was not the intention Of the
committee to work on all Of these streets
at once, but merely as q basis upon which
to act.
Alderman YaEdley offered an amend
ment, including Marble Alley, which was
accepted by Alderman Kern.
The resolution SIS amended was then
adopted.
Alderman Gilbert read his resolution to
add tao policemen to the present force.
A motion to refer it to the Committee on
Fire and Police was lost.
Mayor Rule thought there was no Ordi
nance to warrant the election of two addi-
tional policemen.
Alderman Camp moved, as point OF
order, that the Board had fixed the num-
Der OF policemen at their first meeting,
and that the motion was out Of order.
Mayor Rule held with Mr.. Camp, aid
thought that the point Of order was well
taken, and unless an ordinance 70 the con-
trary could be shown, he would not enter
tain the motion.
The Board then adjourned.
