paying boom town" price for tho old
court house property. lie called at
tention TO the fact that tho
SAME PIECE OF PROPERTY
could not long Ngo have boon bought
for less than $4,000. lilo did not agrec
with Judge Boyd as to II $4,000 build
lnGi he wanted $4,000 building with
quarters Tor the board and tho PUBLIC
library. lie would therefore vote mo"
on tho quest lon. lie could not dis
cover a crying demand" for high
school in Wheeling, and tho center OF
population is not NJ Twelfth street, but
is At Iwenty.tirst street,
Mr. Maxwell said tho South Sido
properly 10 really cheaper than the
Wheat x SpcideI property.
Colonel Millor appealed to the MON.
ocrs not to locate tho high school back
on Twelfth street on back street. lie
was in favor OF having tho sito for tho
high school condemned, anu tho price
would be lower. lie wa. somewhat
AFRAID OF tho assertion OF the pres dent
that tic Tor once agreed with hlm-'twas
81 unusual don't you know.
Finally Mr. Miller moved to rotor tho
matter back to tho committee.
Before the motion was put Judge
Boyd said he did hot want to serve II
tbs notion WIS taken. lie considered
tho old court house site plenty large
enough. lilo was decidedly in favor Of
Two high schools, and tho other to DO
located IN tho proposed Webster school
building addition. Tho members from
tho Sixth ward should come over aud
help those in favor OF Il high school i'll
the central part OF the city.
On Colonel Miller's motion TO refer
back TO the committee, tho vote was
called, but Mr. Buchanan got the floor,
and wanted TO see the matter dccid'
oil now. lie considered the location
decided upon by the committee cheap
at the price. No property IN that Sec
ton has changed hunds recently for
less than 500 n front foot. lie wanted
tho matter decided one way or another.
II the matter i, referred back it means
no high school for two years
MIR. Jelicrson was confident the tImo
has come to act-lo stop "dallyinS."
lie could think OF no moro suitable To-
cation. Though on n retired thorough
lare. 1t is only short distance from tho
street car lines. Ile thought this the
proncr year to build-buildings can be
put up very cheap now. The vote on
the motion 10 refer was as follows:
KNOCKOUT BLOW.
Aycs-Ellingham, Echstruth. Max
well, Mcdick, Miller, II. Mcnkemcl!cr,
c. Menkcmeller, Walford, Wiedner and
Dickcy. Total 10.
Noes-Boyd, Buchanan, Campbell,
Hubbard, jefferson, Schul.zr, Stanton
and Ulrich. Total S.
Judge Boyd then moved that tho ad-
visibility OF erecting high school nj
the Webster building DO inquired into
by an architect to report at the next
meeting OF the board. Several men,
beers spoke against the motion, and Mr..
Buchanan wanted to SEQ il the old court
house can BIO purchased cheaper, or he
would like to SEQ other sites proposed. lie
was 100 sincere friend OF the high
school to drop it, even though defeated.
Judge Boyd said ho made his motion
in good faith. Webster school is To-.
Gated on Twenty.sixtl street, rs near
the centre OF the city as any other
school building. There is no ground to
DO bought there, and ii there is to be
but one high school, he would favor the
Webster site.
The vote on Judge Boyd's motion was
Overwhelmingly asainst it.
DR.. Campbell wanted the special com.
mltsee empowered TO see other people
who have property for sale. lie said ii
1t Is TACT the board can condemn prop
erty, ono OF the Chapine street Local
lions can be secured much cheaper.
Inc committee was empowered 10 con-
tinue its efforts to secure 4 site.
Mr.. Maxwell introduced resolution
authorizing the committee on buildings
and grounds to purchase the Thompson
properly, adjoining Lincoln School for
not over $3.50 Tor janItor's house loca-
ton.
The resignation OF Miss Emma Bar
ney, as teacher in Lincoln school, was
accepted, and her successors appoint
ment was ratified. The new teacher is
Miss Fanny j.. Barney.
Mr.. buchanan moved that tho prcsl-
dent and secretary OF the board request
the chief OF police to trout OUT tho
houses OF i'll fame on Tenth street ad-
joining the now Lincoln school building.
Colonel Miller was not in favor OF
ordering or requesting the chief to do
this. Mr.. Maxwell said the Madison
commissioners had been promised that
these places would be removed. There
was considerable discussion. Colonel
Miller suggested that committee OF
the board be instructed TO wait on the
chief OF police and do what is possible
10 knock ont the Tenth street dens.
A vote was taken on Mr.. Buchanan q
motion and resulted in its being carried.
