The bill ofThos. W. ssville for'holdine
school election amounting to 81 90, which
had beeh referred back to the Committee
on Accounts at previous meeting, was
iavorably reported on by the JCoInmittee.
This gave rise to considerable, discussion,
and was first objected TO by Col. Heislsr.
who could not see how the Board could
fairly pay this when all the o5herinspectors
of elections received $500 The discussion
was carried to considerable y length by
Messrs. Kent, Simpson, Grimshaw, and
SpeaKman.a n.a,zasssrszs,>-s.,r--.uSss-sar-

Mr.. BairJ asked what was to be done. ~
In answer to this Mr.. Speakman presented
resolution to the effect that q sinking fund
be created for the benefit of the Boys and
Girls High School ~commencements out of
tho surplus funds of the, last commence>
ment, and and moved moved that the resolution be
adopted . h''"''-''' 'A'3'iA " ""o''T '''Sa
Mr.Lally objected to the adopt ion Of the
resolution, and thought the funds should
be given to the Board of Education.
NMr. Simpson said It was special tax
taken at the Opera House doors, and should
certainly be given to the, schools al
Or. Grimshaw thought the money should
be invested In something that would be of
immediate advantage to School No. .slsi9l
The, further consideration Of the resolu-
+tion was postponed until the next meeting
MIR. Heisler read petition from twenty
German citizens asking that during the VA
cation a room In one of the schoolhouses be
given them for the purpose of establishing
q German school,, Mr.. Heisler moved the
granting Of the petition and strongly sup
ported it,. ED ,f3jaaHseW 9ST9aTt ,lco
Dr.. Grimshaw hoped that no such resolu-
tion would ever be passed. He knew, the
strength of the German citizens here, and
while giving expression to this also men
toned the fact that, the schools were cer-
tainly good enough for them as well as for
Others. This was an ugly little question
and he thoughtit was quashed long ago ON
q similar occasion. He wished, the public
schools to remain public schools, and If the
petition must be granted theu grant It and
resign your seats, and say, ) AZ Come up, Mr..
Dutchfnan and take charge, ,,a ,..,r,,,,,a
Mr.. Heisler said It was not the object Of
the Germans to take their children out of
the public schools, but to, learn them the
language of their ,fatherland during the
vacation. In supporting this he had no
axe to grind.iW 70 bsG8is Enw bGa ,gTUa
