locations in order to accommodate thu
different grades, and that Temple stree
was one of these places.
|, Mr.. Whaling was in favor of Mr.
Frew's motion if the proposed improve
ments did not meet with the require
ments OF the ward. There was neither
law nor reason to compel that section to
accept what was offered to them and
nothing else. On the roll being called,
the motion was lost on tie vote, Messrs.
Cox, Powers, Pomeroy and Woodbury.
voting negatively.
Mr.. Cox then moved that his recon-
mendation be adopted as a whole; but
Messrs. Mcintosh, Powers and Whaling
vigorously opposed it; and the motion
wss lost by a vote of to 3.
On motion of Mr.. Woodbury. it was re-
solved to take up the recommendations
for each ward separately, in spite of Mr..
Whaling's objections.
Mr.. Cox's motion that the Council be
recommended to erect new four.room
building at Hansen and Vignes streets
and two-room building at Pritchard and
Flora streets was carried unanimously,
as was also that of Major Frew.
Mr.. Pomeroy moved that new four
room building be erected at Union ave-
nue. and First streets, stating that as they
were about to abandon another site this
would only entail a change in the loca-
ton and not the original apportionment.
| The motion was unanimously carried.
Mr.. Gosper said that the people in the
Sixth and Seventh wards we're in favor
OF putting up brick building instead of
frame one at the Ninth-street eight
room school, and as this would only en-
tail an additional expense of So 1000, he
would ask the board to make provision
In the recommendation for such an
amount. Mr.. Whaling could not see the
necessity for a brick building in this
country. He also inquired why no pro,
vision was made for the Geary-street
school,, which was overcrowded. Gov
ernor Cooper replied by calling upon
Superintendent Friesner, who informed
the board that there was no more neces.
sity for additional rooms there than there
was for five wheels in buggy.
Mr.. Woodbury. moved tha. the Pine.
street school be removed and an eight
room building be erected in its place.
The motion was carried, Mr.. Whaling
declining to vote.
Mr.. Mcintosh moved that in addition
to the recommendation before the board
two rooms be added to the San Pedro
street school, and that instead of giving
his ward half of the old Pine-street
school after it's removal from it's present
site, the hulk be sold. Carried unani-
mously after some discussion.
Governor Gosper moved that in the
Seventh ward an eight-room building be
erected at Ninth street and Sanford ave-
nue., and that two rooms be added to the
Seventh.street school. Carried unani-
mously.
Mr.. Whaling, of the Eighth ward,
moved that in addition to the four room
addition to the Amelia street school. two
rooms be added to the Railroad street
school, in order to meet the requirements
OF his constituents. He spoke at some
length OF the size of his district and its
large population. After lengthy dis
cussion, in which Meesrs Pomeroy, Nc
Intosh, Powers and Whaling took part,
Mr.. Cox amended the motion and
moved the adoption of the original
recommendation. Mr.. Whaling did
not propose to be showed under, and
reminded the other men bers that he
had voted for their recommendations.
The amendment was lost on tie vote,
Messrs. Powers, Gosper and Mcintosh
voting with Mr.. Whaling. Mr.. Whal-
ing's motion was lost by vote of to 3.
Governor Gosper's motion for recon
sideration carried and in spite of Mr..
Cox's objections the motion recommend
ing two more rooms in that district was
carried.
Mr.. Powers, of the Ninth ward, moved
that the recommendation to add four
more rooms to the Breed-street school be
adopted and that there be added thereto
tworoom building at First street and
Kinsella avenue, and four.room build
ing at Grant and Cornwall streets.
Messrs. Pcmeroy and Cox vigorously
opposed such q proposition, and called
upon Superintendent Friesner to bear
them out in the statement that there
were not scholars enough to fill the rooms
if built. Mr.. Powers retoited that by
actual count there were more than
enough, in spite of the Superintendent
report to the contrary.
Finally Governor Gosper stepped into
the breach with an amendment TO the
effect that two-room building be erected
at Grant street, which was carried.
Governor Gosper then moved that in
order to get to work as soon as possible
the board recommend the city Council
to accept the lowest responsible bids for
the two, four and eight room buildings
provided that the bidders will consent to
a pro rata deduction in all cases where
the board may direct changes to be
made. After a lengthy discussion the
motion was Withdrawn, aud the
board adjourned.
A Tribute of Friend.
