which, Professor Housh, on behalf of the

quested it, the pupils Of the school would
gladly participate as had been requested.
The request was granted with the provis-
ion that the board be not compelled to bear
any of the expense.

tary Dandy was instructed to sign on be-
half of the board. the petition to the coun-
Gil to lower the grade of Griffin avenue at

President Hale offered the following,
which was adopted:
"That the city council proceed at once to
acquire more land at Thirtieth street, as
contemplated in the bond issue. as the
building must be enlarged at an early
date"
The council was requested to equip every
school room with picture moulding, Direc.
tor Kennedy alone voting no. and stating
in explanation that he was not in favor OF
having others spend his money and paying
more for supplies than he would pay him
self, which led DR.. Simonton to remark
that the council would probably not pur-
chase the moulding requested, as it will
cost not less than 81 so n foot,
