IT MAY BE CHANGED
There is some considerable complaint
because the schools during the Fiesta are
not to he altogether closed. The matter
has been left entirely in the hands of Su-
perintendent Foshay, who, after consult
ing with all of his principals, decided that
the best results might be obtained for all
concerned by dismissing the classes each
day during Fiesta week at 1890 p. M,
thus giving all of the children an opportu-
nifty to witness the parades in the after
noon. The argument is now advanced
that these hours will be really worse than
no school at all, as the children will be too
busy thinking Of the pleasures after school
hours to devote much attention to their
studies. The board of education may at
its next meeting reconsider the action in
the matter taken last Monday night.
OBJECTS TO THE REPORT
w. H. Perry has filed with the council
protest againt the widening of San Pedro
street, between Second and Fifth, and
against the confirmation OF the report of
the commission which had the improve
ment in charge. on the grounds that the
law carrying the same into effect is un-
constitutional, and because he is allowed
only the sum of $445O for land taken and
the sum of 500 for damages for land
taken and 500 for damages for land not
taken, whereas he claims that he should
be allowed at least $4,000 for land taken,
$1,000 for land not taken and $500 for inn
provements. The assessment against him
is $2575.7O, which he claims is $l575.7O
more than it should be.
