pairs to said rooms to be first submitted

and if made, to he at the expense of

In the Third ward Mr.. Cox, said the
committee had not been SO fortunate,
they had investigated several proper
ties, but for various reasons could not
recommend renting any of them.
On motion of Mr.. Kienzle the report
was received AMI the committee con-
tinuad.
The outhouses near the line of the
Bank st. School property and prop
erty of Charles B. Williams, were re-
ported to be al annoyance to that gen
tleman.

buildings to another part Of the school

| 81 40, for work at Bank street school;
Geo. w. MCGOWAN, $14 70, for adver-
tising; D. G. Davis, $1.4O, for carting

Mr.. Cox called the attention of the
Board to mistake that was made at
the last meeting, by which an injus-
tiee was done Miss Anna g. Nicholson,
of Bank street school. When the new
Grammar room was opened and pro-
motions made, it was stated, by an er-
ror, for which he was not responsible,
that Miss Nicholson did not hold the
necessary certificate to entitle her to
promotion into the Secondary Depart
ment, and as result she was not pro-
NOTED. Since then his attention had
been called to the fact that Miss Mich
olson was a graduate of the State Nor
NAL School, and held a Second Grade
State Certificate. He had seen Miss
Emma NJ. Westcott, who received the
place that should have been given Miss
Nicholson, and she expressed her will
ipgness to accept her old position. In
view of the facts in the case, he
thought the Board should take some
action to correct the injustice to Miss
Nicholson.
On motion it was ordered that the
previous aation of the Board making
Miss Emma N. Westcott Second As
sistant of the Secondary Department
of Bank street school, be reeinded.
