 A regular meeting of the Board or Educa- ton was held last evening. Present, Messrs' WeIch (presiding), Peck, ParmeIee, Pond, Harrison, Strong, O'Brien, Plunkett and Zunder.
 The committee on schools reported that Miss Mallory of the Skinner school had been sick and that something should be done for her. She was sick some six or eight weeks. It was voted that her pay be continued dur ing her illness.
 The:committce on school buildings reported that they had seen the contractors for the new training school and Chatield & Grant thought it would take them three months to do the brick work, while R. T. Merw1n thought it would take eight weeks to do the wood work: MT. Merwin said if the wood work was not done until the winter 1t would cost $1, 1000 more to do the work. Both agreed that 1t would be better to do the work in the summer time.
 Mir, Peck stated that no plans had been made in regard to the additions to the Ed wards street school, as MT. Robinson, the ar chitect, had been busy with the other scho oo!. MT. Welch said that he had consulted Wlt1 ex-Judge Morris as to whether the olstrlc' could go on and erect new building If 1t ex ! ceeded the amount appropriated without someone becoming liable or being in danger I of an injunction.
 MT. Parmelee said that the Board mighl go on with the money they had as far a! \ they could go.
 I MT. Plunkett gave it as his opinion tha there was only one thing to do under the law ! and that was to go to the people of the dis ! trict and say to them that this money wal necessary for the district, that they woulC ] undoubtedly grant it. He did no \ think it best to do anything J but iA a straightforward manner 1 and that way was to ask for more money. I I the people said no then that would, settle it I Mr. Zunder said that he took the view tha 4 the only way to do was to go to the d1strlc | and ask for the money that was needed That the school building was needed ther was no doubt. s MT, Harrison urged that they should go tt
 the district andiask for the money needed I He thought no other appropriation would b I needed for the coming year for school build ! ings, and if this was understood he had n' l doubt but that the money would be voted.
 Mir. Pond said from investigation he hat ! found that it would not be necessary to in
 crease the tax or to borrow any more none.
 on account of this building, but it woul 1 only be necessary to ask that they may b 1 permitted to use the money coming in ol
 the three mill tax already laid. It was voted to call meeting of the cit.
