Board Of Education Rein
states the Deposed
Janitors.
An Effort Made to Give a Long
Lease on School Prop.
erty.
A Lively Wrangle Over an Attempt
to Create a NV Standing
Com mittee.

Two important matters came up before
the Board OF Education at its meeting
last evening. One was tie re-estabish-
ment of the old force of ianitors, and the
second was relative to gra nting long
time lease on the School Department s
property on Fifth and Market streets.
At a recent meeting an effort was made
to oust nearly the entire force of janitor-
esses and janitors and fill the vacancies
with new force. This move ment pro-
voked much opposition, but the majority
held the whip hand and paid but little
attention to the assertion that they were
throwing out needy people to make room
for political friends.
Last evening the Janitors Committee
presented a Recommendation that the
new appointees, twenty-four in mum ber, be
dismissed, and the old lot, with dozen
or more added, be put back again. This
was adopted, and the fortunate are the
following:

Near the close of the meeting Director
Burns offered resolution that the Board
of Education lease the school property on
Fifth and Market streets for u period of
fifty years and that permission be asked
of the lie; stature to make such a deal.
1t was argued that the department is in
need of money and that on such a lease a
considerable sum could be raised-more,
in fact, than could be obtained on a
shorter lease. The proposition was buried
out of sight by the motion being referred
to the Judiciary Committee.
A communication was received from
Auditor Brodertck giving his reasons for
refusing to audit the architects demands
for $500 on the Mission High School work.
de claimed that this would exceed the

Girls high.School, and that Mrs. Irene Reeves
of the High School substitute class be as

class; that all matters in reference TO special
teachers be indefinitely postponed.
A long discussion amounting at times
to personal wrangle was caused by a
proposition to create a new standing COM
mittee. to be known as the Evening
Schools Committee. A protest was raised
by Director Derham- on the ground that it
would be usurpation of the power of the
Classification Com mittee.
A motion was made that instead OF
