ST. PAUL, MIMI, Feb. 4, 1889.
To the Board of Education.
Your Committee OH Fuel and Jani-
tors, to which was referred the matter
relating to the janitorShip of the Long
fellow school, together with the 'peti-
tiOn against the removal Of ChaS. John
son, would report that we gave the sub
ject our earnest consideration at meet
ing appointed for the purpose, and at
which Inspectors DObner and Kuhles
were present by invitation, such meet
ing being held on the 18th ult.
The petition referred to was read, as
also communication from the
Eleventh Ward Union," the latter
document representing that the petition
had been 'freely signed under mis-
understanding of the facts in the case"
and embodying resolution to uphold
Inspector Kuhles in the selection 'Of
such janitOr as he may deem fit," etc.
Inspector Dobner was heard in advO-
cacy OF the retention of ChaS. johnson,
and Inspector Kuhles stated at length
his reasons for desiring change.
Having thus fully investigated and
inquired into the matter, for all of the
specific details of which we refer to our
report of evidence on file, we recon-
mend that Max Schiffner be appointed
janitOr of the Longfellow school at the
schedule salary, to date from Jan. IA,
1889. and that Charles johnson be re-
lieved from duty as janitOr upon the Ie-
moval of said school to its new building;
that said Johnson, however, be retained
in the service of the Board at his present
salary, and assist in putting the new
building, grounds, ETC., in perfect order
and condition, after which he is to re-
port to the Secretary for assignment to
such other work as may be necessary to
be done during the current school year.
Respectfully submitted.
JOHN DOwLAN,
Chairman.
Adopted and appointments confirmed
by
Yeas-Inspectors Cook, CrOonquist.
