The regular monthly meeting of the City
Board of Education was held last evening,
all the members being present except Di-
rector Martin.
Director Chapman, from the Committee
on Furniture and Supplies, reported new
stove was required on Twenty-seventh and
streets, and that some work had been
done on the black boards at the Sacramento
Grammar School.
Chairman Todd explained The condition
of the various school buildings, as regards
insurance. During the year 81, 1877 insur-
ance expired, and some So, 500 had been re-
newed.
Director Tufts said he had heard that the
roof of the Twenty-fourth and street
school still leaked Notwithstanding Mr..
Pike had bill in for repairing it.
Director Shelton explained that Mr..
Pike told him that it was not the roof, but
the ventilator that leaked, and Mr. Pike
had been authorized by President Todd
and the Building and Repairing Com
mittee to fix the yentilator, and now says
there is no more leaking.
Director Hopley thought the bill should
not bepaid until it was ascertained that the
roof was tight.
President Todd said that architect Ham
ilton reported that the roof is now water
tight.
The payment of Mr.. Pixies bill for fix
ing the ventilator was laid over one week.
A bill from E. A. Bower of $3.50 for
calcimining the Twenty first and L street
building was taken up, and Director Tufts
opposed its payment, on the ground that
the Board was not responsible for it.
Director Senate moved that the bill be
paid, and Director Davis said he did not
see how the Board could get around paying
it.
Director Tufts moved to amend the mo-
ton by providing that it should not be
paid.
Director Chapman seconded the amend
ment He thought that Mr.. Bower should
look to architect Hamilton for his money,
as he had accepted the work from Mr..
Bower and turned it over to the Board.
President Todd said that several plaster
ers had told him that the plastering had
been done according to contract, but it did
not look well, and he had advised Mr..
Bower to go on and finish it properly and
trust to the Board to pay it.
Director Tufts said that probably Bower
made a mistake in accepting the original
work from the plasterer.
Mr.. Bovyer, who was present, said he
paid $40 extra to have the calcimining done,
and only asked $3.50 The work was bur
ried, and the weather hot, and the best was
done that could be DONE
Director Tufts motion was lost, and that
of Director Senate, to pay the claim, was
carried.
