The important matter to receive the
attention of the school board at the
ADJOURNED meeting held late yesterday
afternoon was the question OF who
should receive the appointment OF SUI
pervisor of music for the coming year.
Notwithstanding the importance to at
least one man in the employ or the
board. it was the very last thing to re.
ceive the consideration of that august
body, and narrowly escaped being lett
pver 10 another meeting to be held some
time before July l.
However, inspectors McGiil and ABB
bolt. who are always considerable OF the
feelings of people who are In danger OF
losing their heads, made motion to
have the matter considered and dis
posed of at once, and the motion pre-
vailed. Voting on the question was
done by ballot. and when the secretary
counted the vote Mr.. Congdon had re-
ceived four, Prof. d. +. Colville one
and John F. Gehan one. Only six votes
were cast. President Willrich, as be-
ieved, not caring to place himself on
record rs having an opinion one way OF
tie other as TO who should be the super
VISOR of music in the city schools.
Quite little tilt between Dr.. Adams.
Mr.. President and Gov. McGill was
INDUCED in before the secretary finally
decided that he ought TO read the ballot.
DR.. Adams made motion calling for a
full vote of the board, which was lost.
and President Willrch blandly. for the
third time. requested the clerk to read
the vote.
The committee on fuel and janitors.
of which Edward Vanish is chairman,
reported that $500 would be required
during the coming year for engineers.
janitors' and iremen's salaries. and
SIS, 900 for fuel, these amounts together
being $1,000 over the appropriation OF
last year, and several new buildings to
supply.
The committee on supplies, Inspector
McNair, chairman wished to have the
board appropriate slO.S64.52. the same as
last year. Inspector Vanish moved to
cut the appropriation TO $1,000, and Gov.
McGill amended Mr.. Yanish's motion to
read $4,000. The latter motion was
lost and the $4,000 one carried.
The committee on Offices and employ
ment of clerks, William Dawson DR.,
chairman, recomme nded the appropria-
ton OF $1,000. the same as last year. but
an amendment by inspector McNair,
placing the appropriation at $1,000, was
carried.
Inspector Dickson's committee rec
commended the following. all of which
Were carried: That the salary of the
superintendent of repairs be placed at
$1,000; that the amount TO be apprOpri-
ated as contingent fund be placed at
So .0G0; that $4,000 be appropriated for
the mechanics and lab0rerS' fund, 81, 200
for repairs OH school buildings, and
81, 100 to change and repair the Ruttan
SYSTEM.
The school committee reported that
$4,000 was the lowest figure at which
the appropriation for teachers SAL
aries should he placed; but the
beard voted that 1t be placed at $40, 900
less.
The question of the classification of
teachers salaries came up for discus
sion, but was referred to a committee
consisting of Inspectors McGill. Abbott
and Vanish, to report at the next meet
ing.
An application from Miss Julia G.
Gau,hier was read. III which that lady
made application for the position of
special teacher in drawing work. The
matter requiring some special consid-
Grafton from the board it was LETT over
until the next meeting.
