The School Cases,

Leader ID Inst
The circuit court with the disposal
of several minor cases yesterday con-
| clnded the jury calandar and began the
facts for the court. BY consent of the
attorneys the case of Patrick Shaw,
Thomas White and Lefebre & Delanies
VS.. the board of education of district
No. , went to the court on the same
evidence. The cases all grew out of
the building of the Matt Carpenter
school and date back to the stormy
school meeting held about year ago.
John Brennan assisted by r. NJ. Bash
ford of Madison represented the cause
of the plaintiffs and Ross, Dwyer &
Smith the board of education. The
case in brief is that these defendants
had claims for word and material for
the Matt Carpenter building which
they were unable to collect against the
contractor who was insolvent, neither
could they secure themselves by lien,
since the building was the property of
municipality, and under the law
exempt from liens At an annual
school meeting it was voted to pay
these claims, amounting in all to $1,000
but at an adjourned meeting at which
considerable feeling and excitement
prevailed, a motion was carried, though
not until the chairman had refused to
put it and had left the house rescind
ing the action of the former meeting.
| The clerk s records show no record OF
such motion beng passed. The court
| ruled that while the adjourned meeting
had the power to consider the question
although adjourned for another pur-
pose, yet since the minutes of the
meeting showed no record of any such
motion as was claimed it Was not per-
Missile to bring evidence to supple
ment the record and the motion grant
| ing the money must stand. The de
! Tense contended that the granting Of
| the claims was not legal because there
! was no consideration to the district,
and thus the case vent to the court
for advisement. The fate Of these cases
will practically settle the 2. J. Nc
! Cam case which is Of the same general
| nature.
