/ Al the meeting in June, a scheme was
presented TO tear down apart Of the old
dilapidatad building in 9th Ward and
erect new one. Also 10 erect 4 new .
story building in the 81 Ward.
To this Captain Wilson offered snb'
,titute authorizing neededrepairs on the
old 9Th Ward building.
! DR.. Hupp mot the Commisioner from
Clay sub district offered 10 amend the
substitute by authorizing the Commis'
sioners Of Clay sub.district 70, supply
proper seating BY aeetiag 4 room for the
ehild,en unproyided. This would have
given him an opportunity 10 organize q
fit,le building association 0. his own
with authority tobuild what he pleased,
when he pleased and for as many as his
Wild notion pleased, and at whatever cost
be pleased. II was so uncertain, vague
and loose that but one other person voted
for il. All the others were 100 stupid q
zee Ia wisdom, and three Of the Commit
lee on Buildings and Grounds, viz: Max
we'll, Todd and Watkins, with the others
present, voted against i, and nothing
else being presented the Board adjourned

fore the Board asking TO be authorized to
rent and furniah the necessary, room TO
accommodate the surplus Of children In
Clay sub.district, and stating that there
we're 9, 100 children demanding entrance.
This We all kneE 70 be untrue, and a
being such 4 gross exaggeration oil The
wants of,the school, that We could not
reIyon any other statement he.made.
An the time that the children hase
been 70 crowded az he says, in his school
he has voted for and favored inviting
children there from other schools where
there was more room and necessary
teachers igl.
Il was stated by the Chairman OF the
Finance Committee that the scheme OF
DR.. Hupp would add large per cent to
the taxation for building purposes. As
