To the Editor of the Press:
The following tribute is gladly paid
in fond memory Of a deceased Onion
soldier, comrade and friend, by the I'M
dersigned, who was well acquainted with
him for many years and knew his many
good traits.
Comrade Coolbroth, who rendered
honorable service as MUSICIAN in Com
danny e, 18th Regiment, Maine Volun-
teer Infantry, in the war of 1861 1865,
land it was counted gallant regiment),
was a quaint, old-fashioned man; his
personality was noted for the peculiar
trait-''dry humor.' de was good
writer and com poser of war articles, on
which his mind naturally ran and dwelt,
and he left quite collection Of war
books and relics for his family, which
are treasured. He was well known In
the community Of Gam bridge and. vicini-
ty as a true man and good citizen in
every way, and his word was as good as
his bond, some rarely found in the pres
emit time. He will be sadly missed by
his widow, children and many friends.
He was a good father and husband. A
good and true soldier, patriot and citi-
zen, has been mustered out of service by
death and gone to rest. Let us hope
to meet him in heaven above where we
shall meet never more to part.

In report If business of city govern
ment last evening, notice that the en-
quiry OF Clerk Mitchell in regard to rep
resentation OF women on school board is
left unanswered. Will you kindly state
just how that very Important matter
stands as the new charter goes before
the egislature. L. J. b.
In the report of the City Council meet
ing yesterday morn ing appeared the fol-
lowing:
Just before dissolving, Clerk e. O..
Mitchell asked the convention what had
become of the amendments giving the
women three seats at. large on the school
board. This proposed amendment was
not included in the printed draft and
A Herman Kehoe said iG must have been
mislaid.
Councilman Virgin asked for vote
on this proposed change, but only two
of the three members arose in favor OF
1T ana as many rose in opposition to 1t.
Councilman Mayberry remarked that ehe
meHn bers were evidently afraid to face
the women and vote on this question.
This is exactly what occurred in so
many words. It appears to answer the
question of our correspondent who evil
IDENTIFY did not read carefully the whole
report. Probably the inquirer wishes to
know the present status OF the matter.
1t simply failed of adoption or endors-
ment as far as the City Council is con
cerned and the amendment Of course
will not appear in the draft approved by
the City Council. This Of course does
not preclude its being urged for adop-
ton by the legislature by anybody.
