Monday Night

The regular monthly meeting Of the
board OF education was held LAST evening,
zith A. T. BurweIi In the chair. Before
the routine business was begun a commit
zee Of citizens from the Queen Anne dis
rrict. headed by Messrs. Harry ". elise
and Charles Fishback, addressed the board
on the subject Of needed new building IN
that section Of the city. The need OF the
school was conceded by the board, but the
lack OF available funds precluied its erec-
fson this year, the board decided, as. ac-
cording TO the county treasnrer's report,
the SIS 900 appropriated last year had been
expended for other building purposes.
Messrs. elise and Fishback commended that
the board had authority TO order the pur-
chase OF q site and erection OF building.
and It would then be the duty OF the treas
ursr to furnish the money for which
the assessment had been levied. The
SOS. 600 collected this year II levied FOR
building purposes. should be 80 used by
the board, and II the county treasurer had
paid warrants on that fund other than the
purpose for which the money was raised
then the treasurer was responsible and
not the board, and If the board would
probe the matter, they. IS attorneys,
would see that the board was protected.
They based their conclusions on section
90 Of the session laws CT Is69-9o. which
reads that:
ssThe board Of education shall annually.
ct a meeting next preceding the annual
tar levy TO- state and county purposes,
report to the county commissioners an
estimate OF the amount OF funds required
for the support of the schools for the pur-
chase OF school sites, the erection aud
furnishing OF school buildings. the pay
ment of interest upon all bonds issued for
school purposes. and the creation of
sinking fund for the payment of such in
missioners are hereby authorized and re-
ouired TO levy and collect said amount the
same as other taxes"
The matter was finally referred TO the

refhsr with the counsel OF the board.
