Meeting Last Evening.
The City Board of Education held its
regular monthly meeting last evening.
Present-Chairman Chapman and Directors
Erlewine, Davis, Payne, Sherburn, Tufts
and Hopley.

Furniture and Supplies, reported the pur-
chase of few articles amounting to IS.

certain fences, ventilator, windows, etc.,
repaired and one of the blackboards in
the Sacramento Grammar School reprinted.
He said there came near being fire in the
latter school last week, owing to defective
fiue, but by prompt action by himself Di-
rector Tufts and the janitor, the fire was
extinguished.
A communication was received from L.
P. Anderson, asking that The order trans
ferring his son from the Thirteenth and G.
street school to Seventh and G streets be
rescinded. Mr.. Anderson said he wanted
his son to accompany his 4-year-old daugh-
ter to and from the same school,
Superintendent Hart explained how the
transfer was made and the cause therefor.
Many transfers had to be made, in order to
equalize the classes, and Mr.. Anderson's
child happened to be among them,
although he resided nearer the Thirteenth
and G than the Seventh and G-street
school.
Director Erelewine thought that such
matters should be left to the Superintend-
ent, so as not to divide the authority.
Mr.. Hart said he had also found it nee

in the Fourth and Qstreet school.
On motion OF Director Sherburn, the
matter was left to the Superintendent.
A communication was received from G.
]. McAndrew, of the Hillhouse High
School, New Haven, Conn.,, asking for the
appointment of School Superintendent, if

School, made applications, respectively, for
Webster's Dictionary and several
benches. Referred to the Library Commit

Director Davis said the eucalyptus trees
in the High School yard should be cut
down, as they were liable to fall. A man
named Reed had offered to remove the
trees, cut them up and pile away the wood
for $40.
On motion of Director Tufts, the matter
was left to Director Davis.
Director Hopley referred to the fact that
many children had contracted sickness
during the storm by having to make too
many trips to and from the school each
day. He thought that some one should
have authority TO provide for but one ses-
sion day under such circumstances.
No action was taken in the matter.
A gentleman named Smith asked per-
mission to organize classes in penmanship

After some discussion Director Hopley
