opposing 1t. A motion by Mr.. Colkett to refer to
the city attorney suffered the same fate. Mr..
Spencer then moved its adoption, which pre-
vailed.
The other sections were then considered seri-
atm and adopted with slight amendments The
contingent expense account for special teachers
provided for in the fifth section was cut down
to $50, and the seventh section was amended SO
as TO place teachers salaries upon the following
scale: First year, $40; second. S75; third. $50,
and fourth $50, home talent to have the prefer
ence IN the choice of teachers. AS to the pro-
position to employ normal instructor, super
intendent Barnard, having reappeared, gave
Miss Christiana Hyatt good recommendation.
She came here over year ago from the 81 Louis
normal school for her health, and, accepting
position here, concluded to make this city her
home. The purpose of instituting the position
of normal instructor is to facilitate the promo
ton OF scholars to teachers positions, and to
provide course of training which shall answer
for the preparatory course which has been
abolished at the university.
IL was decided to postpone final action on the
report until next Monday night, seeing that the
yeas and nays have to be called on each name OF
the list.
The committee on buildings and grounds sub
nitted the following report:
During the past week your committee has re-
celved number of propositions TO sell ana give
lands to the district in the northern part OF the
city. The propositions to sell were liberal, out
their acceptance is not recommended at this
time. Mr. W. ID. Wood offers to give the board
a tract OF ten lots, 150x215 feet known on the
plat as block 80 OF Woodlawn addition to Green
Lake, and he further offers to give an option
upon block 49, adjoining, for one year. at the rate
OF $50 lot, the price being $7o per lot
less than the ordinary rate The district has
never received anything in the way of benetac-
ton so generous as that now rendered by Mr..
Wood, and the board should hesitate no longer
than necessary in availing itself OF his Volun-
tary offer When their offers made good by for
mai papers we recommend the making OF su1ta-
BILE acknowledgment to the donor, and imme-
diately thereafter the construction of two
room school-house in block 3d. at a cost OF about
$3.50.
The committee hopes to secure other desirable
annexed to the CITY upon terms no less advan-
tageous than those offered by Mr.. Wood, and
will be pleased to so report when efforts now
making ie, are crowned wit, with success Very re-

Committee.
The proposition of the Green Lake Home
Building and guarantee Company, through w.
d. Wood, its manager, was then read and &C.
cepted, Secretary Whitney being instructed to
procure the necessary papers.
President Hughes called the boards attention
to the condition of the school property in block
So, Gilman's addition, in the Salmon bay dis
trict. The district had an acre of ground pur-
chased, but a great deal of it had been cut away
for street improvements, leaving only four lots,
one forty-three feet, and the other three twenty
five feet each wide, but between these lots and
an alley were fractional lots which Mr.. Gilman
proposes to let the board have. Mr.. Gilman will
also sell lots IS and % for $500 each. This would
make piece of property 168 by ITO feet. The
matter was left in general way to the commit
tee on buildings and grounds.
