nj CIV school.
Col. H0isler of the building commit
tee of No. 4, reported progress, but said
money must be forthcoming soon, and
the Board would have to do something
In order to meet the demands of the
contractors, as the Finance Committee
from Council say that nothing can be
done until the next session Of the Leg
islature. There Is now nearly $4,000
due the contractors and he would ask
for au order for $1,000, whether there
was any money or not, TO pay contract.
ors. The speaker said the sub.Contract-
ors were anxious to get their money,
and really needed it and thought tn
Board should seriously consider the
matter and provide some means of
meeting their obligations. At present
the Finance Committee were In doubt
what to do. The gentleman urged the
necessity of securing counsel in the
matter and see what could be done,
whether or not the Board had any re-
dress.
DR.. Shortlidge was of the opinion
that the Board did not know, neither
did City Council know who was to
blame In this matter and thought it
would be well to push the matter. If
the old City Treasurer was to blame,
why not let the people know it and if
the present City Council were to blame
let it be known. He did not think the
Finance Committee of the Board had

posed to the idea Of waiting until the
next session of the Legislature in order
to get another appropriation to make
good the present deficit and TO cover up
or screen the dirty action Of somebody.
He thought the committee should make
q thorough investigation and set the
matter right before The people.
Col Heisler took umbrage at the Doc
tors remarks and did not think the
com mittee were derelict in their duties,
but on the other hand they had met the
Finance Committee Of Council but were
told that nothing could be done and
thus they reported to the Board for
further instructions.
The paper submitted last meeting
night, by the Clerk of Council, in refer
ence to the action taken by the Council
in relation to the 10000, and which
was referred back to that body on aG-
count of the back date, was submitted
with the proper date, but, on motion Of
DIR. Shortlidge it was tabled.
The resolutions offered at last meet
ing by the committee on Transfers were
again postponed for two weeks. Col.
Heisler moved that the president Of the
Board be added to the Finance Commit.
toe on the matter of the $4,000 loan,
with power to use the seal of the Board,
which, in his opinion, would add more
weight to their action and be received
with better effect. DR.. Mckay amend
ed the motion by excluding the use of
the seal. The motion as amended was
adopted.
Mr.. Hilton moved that the salary of
the ianitors of schools Nos. 2 and ., be
increased from $3.50 to $175. hr. Nor
row amended the motion by making it
$165. The amendment was adopted
and the salary fixed at $l65.
On motion of DR.. Shortlidge the
time of meeting during the winter
months was fixed at 8 o'clock instead
of 80 as heretofore.
A bill of 81, 257,75 in favor of Cav

who stated that the labors of the COM
