amined the building, and be knows
what a bad condition IL Ii in,

hMineu tno DhllutnR, ana be knows
what bad condition 1t is in.
DR.. Shortlidge, Mr.. Trump, Mr.. Sim.
mons, Mr.. Palmer and others carried
on the debate urging the want of money
by the Board, the first saying that II ail
the repairs needed were done 1t would
take $40, 900.
The chair suggested that the Board
had not enough money to carry on the
schools and keep up the repairs, and
that the Legislature should be appealed
to ~ recommended by the Finance
Oommittee for more money.
Mr.. Kyne replied to all the mem bevs
and strongly advocated repairs. "Our
faces" he said, "are good enough for
the money" Ifthe Boards credit was
good enough to 90 50. 800 in debt, 1t was
good enough to 60 little farther and
make some repairs.
Mr.. Trump reminded. the First ward
member that he had always been talk
ing economy, and now he was the most
extravagant member of the Board.
Mr.. Kyne said he never opposed re-
repairs, but he did always vote against
ALLOWING extras for the high school.
Mr.. Donahoe moved to postpone the
question until October. Lost.
Mr.. Jones couldn't "ostch on" to 90
many motions and frequently had to
ask to be set straight by the chair, 80
he would know how to vote.
The chair very patiently enlightened
the Tenth ward member, for which he
(the member) was very thankful.
Mr.. Donahoe then moved to postpone
until next meeting. This was also lost.
Mr.. Donnhoe ct length succeeded by
motion in laying the subject on the
table.
No. 10 called, Mr.. Grier said he wan
ted $50 worth Of improvements.
Mr.. Kyne suggested to lay 1t over un
til October.
No. 10, Mr.. Hope, estimated for i'm,
provements, $40; No. II, Mr.. Donahoe
S25; No. 10, Mr.. Simmons, $50; No. z
Mr. Hayes, $50, No. l, Mr.. Trump, $500
A number OF the members were no,
ready to report.
DIR. Shortlidge called up the unpaid
bill Of j. r. ID. Seeds g. Sons, for $3.50. 4,
for extras at the new High School build
ing, and he moved that an order bt
drawn for the amount. The board
would have 1t to pay anyhow and there
was no use having 1t hanging ON hand
Mr.. Donahoe thought that rs ther.
was evidently bad feeling between the
old committee and the contractors, the
bill had better be referred to O new
committee, that would see Mr.. Seeds
and confer with him in an amicablt
and gentlemanly manner, and get o,
much OF reduction as possible.
DR.. 6hortlidge saw no use in any
more committees. The price of the extrs
hard ware was objected to, but that wal
| all painted over now ami 1t could moi
be seen whether 1t was good or bad.
Mr.. Kyne opposed the payment of the
bill until compelled by law to pay It,
The charges were outrage ous, and Mr
Trump himself acknowledged at q pre-
vious meeting that they were too high
Mr.. Trump said that was so, but since
then he had Investigated the N after and
found that there was labor with the
lumber that was charged 80 high. Il
was mill worked.
A mouth to mouth and wordy debate
Of an extremely acrimonious character
ensued between DIR. Shortlidge and Mr.
Ky ne, when such language as off you
say so you lie" was INDUCED in on both
sides. "You lie, you lie," said Mr.
Kyne in reference to a meeting on the
street In which the bill was discussed
The chair and several members called
them TO order, and the wordy debate
losing force, the motion OF Mr.. Donahoe
was adopted, and Messrs. Donahoe
Jones and Hayes were appointed said
committee.
Mr.. Kyne was very desirous of another
meeting of the Board on Monday NIGH
next TO hear the report of those mem
bers who had not yet handed in esti
mates for repairs for their schools, and
for the transaction of other busir ess
but there being no disposition manifest
ed by other memb bers for an adjourned
, meeting Mr.. Kyne was "sat down on
again, and the Board adjourned.
