ALAMEDA, CAL, Nov. 6.-From COM
ments made by memb ers OF the Board of
Education last evening it was evident that
they were disappointed with the quarters
assigned to them in the City Hall. There
were only three mem bers present, but
Chairman Tisdale stated that the CITY
Trustees had pulled them from pillar TO
post at their pleasure without consulting
them, The chairman further stated that
ii the Trustees could not provide them
with more suitable rooms they would re-
main in their present quarters in the Post
office block. Matters were adjusted this
morning by the Committee on Public
Buildings assigning new rooms to the
Board of Education.
They are to have three rooms on the
SOUTHEAST corner OF the second floor, and
Chairman Tisdale to-day expressed him
self as well satisfied with the new assign
ment.
The following amendment to the rules
of the board was introduced last evening
and will lie over until the next meeting
for adoption:
Sec. AT. Daily Inquiry Among Pupils-It
shall be the duty OF teachers, and they are
hereby required to inquire daily in their
respective classes il there is any sickness at the
homes OF their pupils. Pupils reporting sick
ness at home shall be sent to the principal,
who shall ascertain the nature OF the same.
should the sickness be smallpox, diptheria
typhus or typhoid fever, measles or scarlet
fever, the principal shall exclude the pupils
from school. Principals shall also exclude
from school pupils affected with any offensive
disease, Whooping cough, mumps, chicken-pox,
pulmonary tuberculosis or any OF the con-
taglous diseases enumerated above.
The names and addresses of all pupils ex-
Guided from school under this rule shall be
Immediately reported by the principals to the
superintendent, who shall furnish the Health
Otficer with copy OF the same; and no pupil
mus excluded shall be reinstated until per-
init from the Health Officer is presented to the
principal.
Buena Vista Avenue Extension.
The Buena Vista avenue extension pro-
ceedings will probably be carried out with
out contest. William Giselman visited
Alameda this afternoon as the agent of w.
A. Piper, who IS one of the largest owners,
and Will pay his assessments. He will en-
oeaVor TO offset the benefits with damages,
SO that useless trouble and ANNOYANCE
may be avoided. The total assessments
Tor the improvement is $3.50 38, nearly all
OF which is returned to whom is il levied
against for land taken. The assessment
VIII become delinquent on the Dist inst.
One of the principal reasons whv he
desires the offset made. if possihIe ia to
avoid the danger of having his property
tied up for long time in case there are
others who decide to contest. This de-
cision will be hailed with considerable sat
isfaction by others interested. Some of
the payments have already been made and
it is believed that the whole matter will be
amicably adjusted when it is learned that
one of the heaviest owners will settle with
out protest.
Flower Thief Captured.
Joseph Souch was arrested last night
about II o'clock with big grain sack in
his possession filled with choice roses and
chrysanthemums which he had stolen
from Mrs. Stanley Stephenson's garden on
San Jose avenue. He was arraigned be-
fore Justice Morris to-day on charge of
petit larceny. Souch pleaded guilty. and
was sentenced to pay fine of $50 or serve
thirty days imprisonment in the County
Jail.
Library Removal Postponed.
A petition was presented to the Library
Trustees last evening praying that that in
stitution be kept on Park street, but owing
to the absence of one of the members it
was decided to lay the matter over until
the 18th inst, when a full board will be
present.
