In the matter of the resolution of board
of education asking that the council ca !
special election for the issue of bonds
to the amount Of $3.50, 900 for the erection
OF school houses in different portions o.
the city several members OF the schoo
board were present and were invited &c
speak.
Mr.. Trask-I think il would BE vel
to call for the city attorney and get his
views as to how We should proceed, that
is, under which law. We think it would
be better to enlarge the present school
buildings rather than put up more small
! buildings. We have now between sc
end 40 half day schools and that shows
we need at least 20 rooms more. The
school superintendent also estimates
that there are at least 1000 children in
| the city who do not 60 to school for lac K
of accommodations. II any action be
taken it should be at once in order that
the work may be done during the sum-
mer vacation.
DR.. Wills-The minority Of the school
board do not approve OF this report
/ W LlCh 10 DlHuO up vi OcbluuaNto AAaOO
! three years ago. The bulk ofthis money
is to be spent south and east of Main
| street, and is an Injustice to the Second
and Fifth wards. Ths minority has not
been consulted in this matter and does
not approve OF this spportionment. The
money ought to be expended according
to the needs OF the whole city. Further,
we feel that it is unnecessary to expend
such large sum Of money ct this time.
THE CITY ATTORNEYS OPINION.
Deputy City Attorney Dunn was
called on for legal opinion and stated
that if the bonds were issued it would
be under the general improvement act
of 1889, the same law under which the
outfsll sewer was constructed by the
council.
Mr.. Stein OF the school board-The
member of the bSard from the Second
ward was not consulted because he did
not come to the committee meetings.
The Second ward has 36 school rooms
and the Sixth ward s rooms. 1t is de-
sraole that an or 10 room building be
erected in the Sixth ward. The trou bic
in the Second ward is certain gentle
man wants to sell the city a $4,000 lot.
President Teed-Do [ understand you
to say that heCeuse the msmb bers of the
Second and Fifth wards we're not present
at your executive session you ignored
thoee wards?
Mr.. Stein-No, sir; spoke for the
Fifth ward. Neither OF the members in
terested were present at the meeting
/ but we did not neglect their wards.
! WHAT SUPERINTENDENT BROWN WANTS.
/ Superintendent of Schools-I recon-.
mend an eight-roem building for the
/ Second ward. We need more ground.
This eight-room building is in addition
/ to the present building. In the Fifth
ward an industrial high school should be-
| bull, t and this building could take care
of the overflow from Amelia street.
These are the only two buildings that
would ask for at the present time.
think we ought to do more in the way of
| industrial education for our boys who
| propose to enter the trades. The lsrg-
est number OF halliday scholars is at the
Spring street building. There are half
day schools in the Thirtieth street school
/ building.
Deputy superintendent OF Schools
! Forshay-There are halliday schools in
the Castelar,, Ann, Spring, Eighth street,
| hN6Aues bbAoobJ anu
Amelia street buildings.
President Teed-If there are no half
day schools in the Sixth ward, why
erect q 10-room building there?
Mr.. Stein-Our children go to the
other halliday schools.
Mr.. Nickell-I move We put this mat
ter in the hands of the finance COM
mittee ana the city attorney in

Mr. Rhodes--I think the matter ie of
sufi cient Importance to go to the COM
mittee of the whole.
The matter was then referred to the
| finance committee. The commissioners
| for opening Thirty-second street were
elected as follows: w. D. Scarborough,
Charles FosIester and Charles Ellis. On
motion of Mr. Innes the sewer COM
mittee WAS directed to investigate the
reason why the water mpanies we're
supplying such small quantities of
water for hushing the sewers, and in
| quire why they had placed locks on the
t1ush tanks. Street Superintendent
| Watson asked that he be allowed to re-
| tain the five extra men allowed him
some months ago, and that he be
/ furnished with maps OF the sewer terri
| tory. Referred to the board of public
works and the sewer com mittee. Mr.
| Rhodes recommendation for a new
| profile on Girard street, which was sat
