insists tnat Rabbi Blum must go even if

The board yesterday sent to the council
the following communication:
The board of education, at a meeting
held Septem ber Sd, adopted the following:
Resolved. That the city council be Ie-
quested to purchase the lot adjoining the
Thirtieth street school and we also rec
ommend to the honorable city council the
purchase of an additional site in the
Seventh ward.
We. the board of education OF tho city
OF Los Angeles, having learned that the
site for d school building in the Fifth
ward has not been paid for and If not too
late do hereby demonstrate and ask for an
immediate reconsideration of the selection
of this site.

building and S25. 900 or $50, 0C0 will be ex-
pended which can be used to great ad
vantage in other parts of the city.
The four-room building at Eighteenth
street and Union avenue and the eight
room building at the corner of Seven
teenth and Georgia Bell streets are each
but four blocks distant.
Your honorable body must know that
our mem Der from that ward is unalter-
ably opposed to it and we consider it
wrongful waste OF public money at the
present time when so badly needed in
other parts of the city.
1t is not too late to stop this error in
Judgment AMI if no site can be obtained
further south then we pray that the funds
may be used in other parts Of the city
for school purposes.
Directors Garland, Simonton and Full
ton were the committee which presented
the above to the council.
The communication created heated
discussion, the first section being referred
to the special school building committee.
The rest of the communication brought
Acting Mayor Freeman G.. Teed to the
front with the statement that under no
circumstances would he consent to the
recommendation made even if he had to
take the matter into the courts.
Mr.. Teed was warm and he showed it.
He intimated that President Hale of the
board of education, who is, like himself.

and further that Hale had SOME Interior
motive In taking the stand which he has
IN the selection of Fifth ward school site.
s.There will be enough money for school

the Fifth. No one building is to be built
until all have been provided for" said
tie acting mayor. Chairman Muhson of
the school building committee ex 3lained
the situation again in detail and Coun-
Gilman Snyder then took shy at the
subject. opposing the transfer of m Oneys
intended for school buildings IN one ward
for use in another ward, until the wants
of the first named ward had been amply
supplied.

the council appeared to be the result of
misunderstanding. He had been guided
entirely insthe matter by President Hale.
who he presumed was fully conversant
with all of the facts.
Director Grubb expressed himself as
fully satisfied with the explanation of
Councilman Teed. and he now felt sat
isfied that the Seventh ward was to sa-
cure its schoolias originally intended.
Councilman MunsoD moved that as it
appeared that the resolutions under dis
cussion were not really from the board of
education, that they be referred back with
. request that they be so considered. This
