of school inspectors yesterday directing
the superintendent of schools to report
as to the necessity or ACCESSIBILITY of con-
tinulng the Tilden school. The school,
which is an eleven-room building To-
Gated near the fair grounds, has, accord
ing to Inspector Smiths statement, an
enrolment or seventeen pupils. He
made the demand for report from the
superintendent so as to bring out the
sentiment of the people in the vicinity
of the school. If there were a possibility
of the enrolment reaching forty during
the year he thought it would be best to
keep the school open. If not, the pupils
could be transferred to the Hancock
school, which was not great distance
away. Inspector Smith concluded his
remarks with the statement that the
resolution was not on account OF the
article in an afternoon paper, which
stated two car loads of coal had been
used In the building since Jan. l, and
that there was one pupil for each room
in the building.
The secretary reported that the own
ers of the building used as an annex for
the German school on Front street mad
demanded an increase of $40 per month
for rent of the building. They had also
intimated that vacation Of the build
ing would suit them best. The owners
of the Cleveland school annex on Ar
cade street also notified the secretary
that S. additional would be required III
the future. The secretary informed the
board that all contracts made for annex
buildings were verbal ones. The city
attorney will report as to the PROPOSE
ton of the owners of the German
school annex. and the committee on
schools as to the Cleveland school annex.
The committee on real estate Will
consider and report, as directed by
council resolution, as TO the property
owned by the board and not now used
for school purposes.
