The Educational Board.

The Board O1 Education lleI last even |
ing in regular semi-monthly session, Pres
ident Eckel in the chair
The secretary, Mr.. Cloward, being alb
sent, Mr.. Baird was on motion selected to
fill the vacancy.
On motion of Mr.. Ferris the rules were
suspended, and Mr.. ii. p. Grubb, the
member from the Ninth Ward, in place of
Mr.. Farrell, was qualified.
The Committee on Teachers reported
| that they had no formal report to make,
but would state that the examinations that
were ordered had been held, the one for
permanent certificates to-day. The COM
mittee would report at next meeting.
The Committee on Accounst, reported a
number of bills as correct, which will be
found appended, and moved that orders
be drawn for the amounts. The orders
were directed to be drawn.
| The same committee reported that two
| bills had been referred to them, that they
had not seen fit to pass, one of which was
that OF Thomas W. Sayille, inspector of
school election in the Seventh Ward for
81.
| Mr., Palmer, moved that So be allowed,
the same as the inspectors in the other
Wards.
/ Mr.. Baird, thought that the Board could
not make bills for other persons, and he
would move that the bills be referred back
to the committee in order that they might
| ascertain if reduction could not be
made.
Mr.. Simpson, desired to know if the
compensation of the judge of elections was
not fixed by law?
The Chair, replied that it was, but did
not know if it was in reference to the
| Board.
The motion TO recommit the bin to the
committee was adopted.
The second bill was that of Geo. o.
Bryne IL Co., amountingto $l3. for ad-
vertising election notice.
4 MIR. Kent, the Chairman of the commit
tee, stated that the bill ror the same ad
vertisement in anotherpaper amounted to
only S1l.S3, and he thought that the
/. charge was unfair.
On motion of Mr.. Hcisler, the bill was
recommtted to the committee.
After the above motion had passed
/ the chair read the law in regard to the
compensation of Judges of elections in
response to the inquiry of Mr.. Simpson.
! The law upon the city ordinance books
, fixes the compensation of the inspector
of an election at So, assistant at 81, and
clerk for a like amount. 1t was optional
1 with the inspector whether he would
have a clerk or not.
Under the order of new business, Mr..
e Heisler, stated that the committee on
privileges and elections, in the recent
contested election case of the Ninth
| Ward, had incurred some expenses
among them being bill of Esquire Cole,
for taking the dispositions of 43 voters
at 10 cents each amounting to S6.45. He
. moved that an order be drawn Tor the
amount.
Mr.. Baird, objected to the motion. To
ba consistent with the rule of the Board
to refer all bills should be referred To the
, committee on accounts. He had no doubts
l but what the bill was correct, but he
thought that it should go through the
Z Iproper channel.
The chair stated as there had been OBJ
I Elections to the motion, the bill was re-
I ferred to the committee ON accounts.
Mr.. Woolley, said that he understood
| that there had been other bills incurred
e by the committee, and he would like to
q hear them stated.
e In reply, Mr.. Baird, said he supposed
n that thG gentleman referred to the Dill
= that was not contracted for in the name
= of the Board, but in the name of the
r committee The committee thought II
$ better to have legal advice upon the con-
/. tested election case, and such advice was
n obtained. The committee did not ask
v the Board To pay for such advice, ana
n had the bill made out to them personally,
but If the Board chose to pay 1T, why all
n right.
MIR. Woolley, called for the reading OF
the bill, which request was complied
u with. The bill was from w. q. Spruance,
y ESD, and amounted TO $50.
Mr.. Davidson moved that the Dill be
a allowed.
' would be drawn for the amount, without
= the blll going before the committee Oh
accounts?
"a The chair, made no answer, to the IN
IA terrogation, but proceeded to put the
3 motion.
s- The motion to allow the bill was pas
- sed by a rising vote OF TO 8.
I'd The chair then stated that the bill was
y, referred to the committee ON accounts
of for their approval
y Mr. Heisler-Why did you notstate tha
". before?
The Chair, Because your question was
out Of order, not being relative to th'
motion. 49, .
v, The chair then read for the edificatioi
ee of the members, the law governing th'
H. presentation and allowing OF bills.
as Mr.. Belts next offered the following
:, resolution:
l'' Resolued, That it shall be the duty o
~ | the Treasurer OF IHe DOdIuj W oubo' IL
"a, book To be kept for that purpose all ac
"a counts of whatever kind, or character
)n which may from time to time be Tor
an v'ardel to him by the committee on ac
n counts, after said accounts shall hav
al been audited by the committee, ana al
Ia ~ lowed by the Board; and further, tina
ne all such entries shall be made made uii
ne der the direction and supervision OF tn
AT committee on accounts.
L., Mr.. Woolley was opposed to the re
re solution as he thought it would be I'm
ws losing unnecessary labor upon the Irea
dc surer.
u9 Mr.. Belts was OF the opinion that
'r- would be very little more labor for Tn
as Treasurer. He gets paid for what Il
Al does and the committee on account
does not.
IRE The chair, thought that 1t was a Yer
lt- good resolution. The Board Will nm
aS Some of these days that they Will nc
CO. have n Committee on Accounts; If
u.s. keeps going on at the present rate, tn
III committee will ask for a clerk, and h
Ate would be in favor of granting thel
ms one. -.
