AN OBDURATE BOARD.

1T REFUSES TO PAY FOR THE
SANITATION OF PUBLICsCHOOLs
NOS. 3 AND 4.
Last evening there was a meeting Of
the Finance and Law Committees Of
City Council and committees represent
ing the Board of Public Education and
Board of Health held in Council cham
Der, for the purpose of endeavoring
to arrive at some satisfactory conclu-
sion regarding the bill Of Harry A. Mil
Ter, plumber, for abating the water
closet nuisance at public schools Nos
and 4. The old Board of Health or
dered the Board of Public Education
TO abate the nuisance. IL refused to
do so, and the Board OF Health went
ahead and had it abated, the cost being
something like $1,000. When the bill
was sent to the Board Of Public Edu-
cation IL refused to pay 1t, and there
the matter has hung for some time.
Mr. Miller had grown tired OF waiting
for his money and threatened suit lt
was this threat which led to last
nights conference, which resulted i'm
no backdown on the part of the Board
Of Public Education.
IL is believed that the city will pay
the bill to prevent Mr.. Miller from
bringing suit for money to which he is
clearly entitled, and that It will then
proceed TO sue the Board of Public
Education TO recover the amount
"To satisfy the whims and fancies
Of the Board of Education the city Of
Wilmington will have to pay the cost
Of prosecuting a suit" said one OF the
parties to an Evening Journal reporter
this morning. 1T refused to abate a de-
clared nuisance and the Board OF
Health exercised it's legal function
when Il carried out it's own mandate
In the matter. The Board OF Public
Education is clearly liable and. in the
end, will have the money to pay
