frmed by

/ thwaite. Curtis. Berlandi, Haas, Dobner and
! Mr.. President-12.
The matter of opening shool at Como
vile in the building provided by Mr..
| Thomas Cochran, Jr.. action on which was
at the last meeting suspended, then came
up for discussion, the point at issue being
whether the original proposition on file be
| the basis of the lease, or that the lease be
| made with the understanding that the build
! ing shall be also used for church pur-
poses on Sundays as desired by Mr.. Cochran
and aSSented to by Inspectors Gilbert and
Athey.
After lengthy discussion over the mat
| ter it was moved:
! By Inspector Williams
That the original written proposition
made by Mr.. Cochran and now on file with
the Secretary be carried out and that the
proper officers be and are hereby authorized
and instructed to execute a lease on behalf
of the Board in accordance with the terms
of said proposition.
During debate on the motion. Inspector
J Gilbert declared it impossible to carry out
| the proposition without also meeting the
desire of Mr.. Cochran, and that he made
this statement after conversation with Mr..
| Cochran.
Inspector Athey qualified his assent to
his supplementary understanding by the
statement. that while he could see no OBJ
| lection to using the building for Sunday
school, he was opposed to its being used
| for any other purpose during week days.
Inspector PostlethWaite strongly favored
the immediate occupancy of the building,
basing his wish on the absolute needs of
the large number of people residing in the
new suburb who would otherwise be de-
prived OF school facilities to which they
were entitled and are extremely anxious to
| have.
The question being on the motion of In
spector Williams. the same was adopted by,
Yeas-lnspectors Schumacher, Minor.
