Mrs. Boardman had sent for him yesterday
and had said that the action of the district
meeting in voting that none but city con-
tractors and union men should be employed
in the construction of the building met
with her strongest disapproval. Mrs.
Boardman said that she regarded the &C.

She might withdraw her offer If such
arbitrary and tyrannicsl votes were adj

charge the construction Of the manual
training school, power to obtain the
opinion of Hon. Charles IngersoA

| he said; "Gentlemen, Icertainly thank you
| for this Ronor, and will endeavor to dis
charge the duties to the best of my abil-
ity."
