closet, appeared before the board and
asked that the bill of the physicians who
attended her son, and which amounts to
about $50, be paid by the board, as the
explosives were found in the school
house.
Miss Smith said that the closet was left
open by man who was fixing some cur
tains in the schoolhouse. The caps had
been put away with other things taken
away from pupils. The boy asked per-
mission to take his books up to the room
and put them away. He was only up
there for few minutes and came down.
Shortly after school was taken in, the ex-
plosiOn occurred. The teachers had no
idea OF what the caps were and did not
know they were explosive. No boy had
right to go to the closet.
Mr.. Asher asked if the board would
not pay the doctors bills. His boy was
crippled, and all he asked was that the
bill might be paid.
The board could not see that they had
any authority to pay it, unless the City
Attorney should give his opinion that
they had.
NJ. f. Cummings stated that as he and
his wife were coming along in front of
Ungraded School No. |, one Of the planks

mons stating that Mrs. Cummings knee
was very severely injured and the effects
might last for long time.
The members of the board thought the
proper place to bring the complaint was
before the Trustees, as the property be-
longs to the city.
