The clerk was instructed to make note
on the records of the vote in detail.
1t was observed that five votes in the
first precinct Of the Third ward was noted
as mot counted" 1t was understood that
the votes appeared mot for the bonds"
and the judges thinking that was materi-
ally incorrect made returns as stated
The chair suggested that two more COM
mittees be created making eleven COM
mittees, one for each member. The two
to be known as committees on printing
heating and ventilation and another on
judiciary. He suggested resolution to
that effect be submitted and acted upon at
the next meeting Clapp took the position
that the rules of the board could be
changed at any meeting.
McNair thought time required when
Lawrence moved resolution be prepared
embracing change requested and be acted
upon at the next regular meeting.
BY referring to the minutes the time"
idea was found correct and that such
change required to be submitted at regu-
meeting and lay over one month.
McNair submitted resolution and Camp
bell moved to adopt it with Piatt a second.
The motion prevailed with Fegtley IN the
negative McNair thought it would take
unanimous vote but the chair decided
differently.
Alter dialogue between the chair and
McNair, Fegtley by way Of variety called
for reading of rules. He wanted to have
everything gilt edge" and painfully cor
rect
The rules were read and chair held
opinion first announced.
Fegtley inquired if the school board
should pay cost Of the election.
McNair said he understood the city liza
bic for the expenses. Had understood
some Indebtedness incurred without order
of commission of election and board would
likely be liable for such expenses.
Fegtley interrupted by saying that he
knew of no outside expenses.
The chair stated that Mayor Clement
had said the board should pay publication
notice, and when the judiciary committee
was appointed it could look into that
matter.
Lawrence seemed to think it just and
proper for the board to pay the expenses
connected with the election.
McNair asked if some of the late assign
ment of school territory had been taken in
according TO law.
Lawrence thought outside territory for
school purposes should stand some of the
for election.
Fegtley moved the matter be referred to
the judiciary committee-yet to be created.
Motion prevailed Lawrence suggested
that the finance committee give the mat
ter some attention.
Lawrence moved to invite architects of
the city TO prepare plans 10 be submitted
to the board at the next meeting for school
Campbell and Piatt thought the archi-
tects were ready now and could meet the
board at a meeting Monday night. They
thought 1t best TO have meeting Monday
night to investigate the matter.
McNair thought it unfair as all were not
and it looked like a scheme TO
favor some architects who have little to do
and have been preparing plans.
Campbell said the architects had been
notified a long time ago, possible before
the committee went east and nothing done
on the bond question.
Clapp seemed to think all would know
it and opposed to wait any longer for
plans.
Campbell moved to amend TO examine
plans next Friday night.
Fegtley thought Friday an unlucky day
and should not be adopted. The motion,
however, carried and the plans will be ex-
amined at D. N. next Friday.
Clapp moved the committee on build |
ngs and ground get information about |
location of buildings and report as early as
possible.
At this moment McNair jumped on the |
chair for preparing committees before Mr.. |
Howe takes his seat in the board. The |
hair replied that Howe would take posi- |
ions held by Tucker when he bids adieu. |
Coming back to the question the motion |
prevailed TO give instructions TO the COM
nittee on building sites.
Fegthly-lt seems to me the board is |
getting ahead of itself by inviting plans |
and going into an expense and no money.
Moved the clerk advertise the bonds for |
sale and prepare a printed circular to an
swer anticipated questions about the |
ponds.
McNair moved the finance committee |
advertise bonds in Chicago, Philadelphia. |
New York and Boston and make provision |
or selling bonds.
Fegtly wanted his pet circular scheme TO |
20 through, and McNsir said it would be |
10 good at all, as each company would |
rave a certain circular Of It's own to fill |
,ut.
Clapp thought the board should find out |
low much money it wanted to expend and |
low mady bonds to sell
Lawrence understood bonds should be |
,ffered to state university, agricultural |
,ollege and TO state school fund.
Tucker took the position that il would |
,e best TO sell to the state and could re-
leem them with less trouble.
The chair said if the state would make
he purchase at a low rate OF interest IL
would be best to sell them to the state
Fegtley said he had written TO some of
he state people about the bonds and in
-ited bids.
The motions and amendments were
Jumped in the soup and the board wa.
lear for new start from the scratch.
Fegtley again came up with his net cir l
