isbment he administered was notvery severe
Mr. Gallagher thought the board should
stand by the school teachers and arrest
people who interfere with them.
Some Of the directors asked if Mr.. Nc
Hale was able to take care Of himself and
the superintendent answered that the teacher
had given that assurance, wheroupon the
board dropped the matter with the remark
that 30 was a good thing if Mr.. McElalo could
handle the Turkey Run boys and take care Of
himself
Mr. Gallagher said that in increasing the
salaries of male teachers at the last regular
meeting MI Frank B. Williams had been
overlooked. He considered that the young
man was also deserving an increase. Super
intendcnt Freeman said that it was clearly
an oversight and he would be willing to
amend his report to that effect. On motion
it was decided that the amended report be
adopted
Miss Ramage, one Of the school teachers
was reported as still on the sick list, but it is
expected the lady will be able to resume her
duties in a few days.
Solicitor Coylc stated that Mrs, Gather had
agreed, through her attorney, TO accept $500
in settlement of her claim for damages
against the School Board The board ac
cepted the proposition Mrs. Gathers claim
for damages was based upon the refusal OF
the board to take the property which it has
condemned with the intention of erecting %
new school building upon it. The board
considered the price asked by Mrs. Gather
and the price fixed by the viewers too high,
and concluded that it would be much
cheaper and more suitable to make an ex-
tension to the rear of the brick building at
the corner of Centre and West streets Mrs
Gather then claimed that as the condemnine
of the property prevented hGf from accepting
good price offered by private party She
would hold tine board for damages. 1t is
generally conceded that the board got out o!
70 deep hole at very moderate cost.
Superintendent Freeman then spoke on the
subject of additional school room. He init
mated that as his term of office will expir,
next June and he will not be a candidate foi
reelection he has no personal interest in the
arrangement of school affairs for the next
term but for the general benefit of the
schools he suggested that the board forego
building an extension to Centre street build
ing this year and IN its stead erect two.
| story building on the rear of tho High
School building lot He said the High
School rooms are none too large now. One
OF the next graduating classes will number
| but about sixteen, while over fifty graduates
will enter. This will force the board to
make arrangements for additional room and
the suggested building will meet the demand
The library quarters, he also suggested, have
| been too limited for some time and larger
quarters must be secured in the near future
| The proposed new building would also meet
| this demand.
The committee on building and repairs was
instructed to make note Of the recommend
atious and submit report at the next
meeting
The resignation of William P. Williams, as
a representative of the Second ward, wa;
accepted 1t was decided to leave the
vacancy open until after the spring election
On motion il was decided that no mechanic
employed by the board be paid more than
| y % per day.
