BUILT A SCHOOL.
Parents at Palomares Resent the Re-
fusal to Grant Their
Petition.

OAKLAND, CAL, June 1.-The Super
visors having refused to establish school
in tne Palomares District the residents of
thai place have taken the matter in their
own hands and have erected a school
house. Although paying their quota of
taxes their petition was denied few
months ago. AS their children had to 60
three miles to the nearest school, and as
the roads are impossible at times dur
ing the year, the parents decided to be
their own school board. A building is
erected and a teacher has been secured.
The residents, however, find that the de-
mand is rather heavy and they desire as
sistanee from the county till such time as
the number of children in attendance
shall make it compulsory for the authori-
ties TO make the school part of the pub
lie school system.
D. L. Smart appeared before the Super
visors to-day and asked that the board
appropriate $25 a month to help the salary
of the teacher. The school is located be-
tween Palomares and Stony Creek.
Supervisor Talcott said that the petition
ers, who had asked for a school a short
time ago and been refused, went away de-
claring that they would have a school,
regardless OF the County superintendent
or the Board of Supervisors, and he be-
lieved it very unwise for them to come
now and ask for aid. He was opposed to
granting it this year. and the matter was
taken under advisement.

Reading-Rooms Closed.

OAKLAND, CAL, June 1.-The Board
of Library Trustees to-day caused all read
ing-rooms TO be closed and through
out this month the rooms will remain
closed. This IS the first time since the
rooms were opened several years ago that
they have been closed, but in order to
escape a deficit with the funds allowed
them by Mayor Davie in the tax levy, the
action had to be taken. TIE expenses of
curators salaries, light, messenger SER
vice, ETC., will be saved in this way.
Friendly Conference.
OAKLAND, CAL, June 1.-The Car
penters' Union of this city and the Mer-
chants Exchange are talking OF having an
open meeting to secure closer co-opera-
ton of the industrial and mercantile in
terests of the city. The Idea is put for
ward that by cooperation both could be
better protected from the irresponsible
contractors that defraud material men and
workmen.
