moved that this firm be awarded th
contract for furnishing three school

n The vote was taken, when the ayes an,
nays we're called, but was Withdrawn
D and the question opened for discussion
DR.. Grlmshaw objected to tho Who'll,
J matter, and said it was entirely out o
order, and moved that it be laid on tn,
: table, which motion was lost.
Mr.. Baird stated that the committee.
of the different schools had met il
joint session for the purpose Of fully
discussing the nature of the different
!. desks and the bids received, and he did
not see the use of going over the same
grounds again, neither did he SET the
use of laying it on the table.
AS a. a.substitute to Mr. Morrow's mo.
tiCn, Mr.. Gallagher moved that the
contract be awarded to the Keystone
School Furniture Company OF Phila-
delphia the desk offered by this CON-
pany being the Triumph"
considerable discussion arose amongst
| GAo IIOllbCAf, SCNCldl VI Uucun SUttJlJ
that they were entirely in the dark
about the matter and would like to
haye some Information on the subject
before they voted.
1t was suggested that those who wish
to be further enlightened on the subject,
retire with the representatives OF the
different companies, who were present,
and bold a consul ltation, and the Board
would await their pleasure.
Mr.. Furry, who was in favor of the
original motion, stated that the whole
matter had been thoroughly rehearsed
before the committee, and the Fashion
desk had been decided upon by the
majority Of said committee, but the
majority now comes forward and offers
objections, which shows that they were
"dyinR hard"
DIR. Grimshaw again moved that the
whole thing be laid ON the table The
motion was lost.
The motion, as offered by Mr.. Gala.
gher as substitute, was then put, and
the ayes and nays were called, with the
following result:

Pickles, Brier, Griinshaw, Hazlett,

The resignation of Stansbury j. Will
ley, Principal of the Boys High School,
was rendered to D.. W. Harlan, Super !
intendent of Schools, and presented to
the Board by LT. Grlmshaw. The
resignation was received with surprise.
DR.. Grimsbaw hastily arose and said
it was a scaudslous resignation and
shoald DOT be tolerated by the Board,
and he should be held strictly to his
contract. The gentleman luosed the
conditions on which the Board secured
the services Of Mr.. Wiley, saying that
he was given a months trial and it,
before that month was out, the Board
had put hira out, there would have
been some difficulty. Now he sends in
his resignation to take effect on or be-
fore the 9Th day of February. The
gen n.leman then made a motion to the
effect, that this mouths salary, due the
principal, be retained by the Boara.
The motion was lost, as they could not,
according to law, retain money already
earned. A motion Was then offered
that the resignation be referred to the
Committee on Teachers, which was {
also lost. Whereupon, DR.. Grimshaw
moved that the resignation be accepted c
which motion was unani-
mously adopted, and the Boys High a
School is without a Principal. q
The committee of School No. 8 asked
permission to have repairs done in that
school at cost not to exceed S45, which

hat school, the cost not to exceed $50.
4 tilt was had between the two men,
,ers of this committee, Messrs. Morrow
md Gallagher, the latter saying he Il
,new nothing about it, and Was not j
Onsulted in the matter by the So v
allied chairman. A rising vote was is
AIKEN on the request, which resulted in ft
avor of the request by 8 to 4. Mr..
Gallagher became very much incensed
It the vote, and desired to know if the
soard was going to ignore him in this :,
manner. He then stated that the law ~ ~
equired both members of the commit +,
90 to sign the bills, recommending the T.,
ayment for the work done, and that he ~
7Ould refuse to sign them, if he was to VI
Q thus ignored. Mr.. Morrow stated
hat these matters had always been
,ft solely to him to do as he saw fit, W W
nd the other member of the commit. '"
,e always coincided with him, until =
ow. He said it was not desirable \
osition to hold, and consequently he a
'ould turn the whole thing over to his to
pponent, who said he would seq that =.
le work was done, but when the bills
'e presented, perhaps Mr.. Morrow -
i'll refuse to sign and then trouble L
ill follow. y
