In which the school was standing was a
disgrace to the city and to the Board of

Dr.. James Morgan asked that the board
tell Mr. Cassidy to have the work done In
thirty days, or have the matter settled
by collection OF the money from Mr.
Cassidy's security. The reason that he

because he wished TO see the colored

IL this school was opened these children
would have a place to attend

not pass as the committee was com.
petent to attend to the matter. He asked

pay. he said the board could only get
the school in that way. He then reiter
ated his motion.
No action was taken.
