Committee on Property submitted the fol-
lowing majority and minority reports:
The majority report was adopted.
The Committee on Property recommend
ed that the present Janitors be reappointed
except the Janitor of the River school.
1t is recommended that the salaries of the
Janitors of the Madison, Jefferson and High
schools be fixed at $540 per
annum. Of the River and
Rice schools at $500, and of the new build
ings of the Fourth Ward at $3.50 per an
mum.
John Gear is recommended as Janitor for
the Third precinct building and Mathew
Phillipson as Janitor of the First precinct
building, services and salary to begin when
the buildings are ready for occupancy. The
salaries of the other Janitors to remain as
before.
The committee have considered the sub
ject of name for the building on the Vine
street lot and recommend it be called
the Monroe school, following custom al
ready established of namiag the schools af-
ter former Presidents of the United States.
The walls of the school rooms of the new
buildings are twelve feet in the lower story
and thirteen feet in the upper story. This
makes the rooms appear too low, especially
the lower ones. We recommend that the
walls of the new building be higher, at least
one foot, making both stories thirteen feet.
II would perhaps be better if they were made
still higher. Messrs. Bowling & Ely give
the following estimates of the additional ex-
psnse: Increase of one foot in elevation
$1s5, two feet, 1870, three feet $3.50; all Of
which is respectfully submitted.
