SCHOOL PRINCIPALS
NEXT YEARS ASSIGNMENTS
MADE BY THE BOARD
Mr.. POOR ENTERS A PROTEST
In Unequivocal Language-Webb's
Milwaukee Bill Indefinitely Hung
UP After Some sparring

The mellifiuous voice of School Director
McInerney was not heard at the meeting
Of the city board of education last night.
McInerney was not suffering from cold,
but he was, in fact, absent and he remained
60 till the end. Principals Tor the coming
scholastic year received their assignments.
Mr.. Poor registered solid kick because
Principal Raney of the New Macy-street
school had been superseded, and limited that
1t was done to punish him because he had
refused to help kick Webb when he was
down. The protest, however, was overruled
by to vote. President Davis also voted
against the adoption of the report, but
merely because 1t provided the princely
salary of $1,000 to kindergarten supervisor.
Superintendent Foshay was authorized to
represent the board of education al Wash
ington, and to use his best endeavors to Sc
cure the next convention of the National
Educational association for Los Angeles.
President Davis made few changes in the
complexion of some of his committees.
Schools will open again on September 10.
When ex-School Director Webb's bill came
up for reconsideration, the warrant drawn
heretofore was ordered Cancelled, and mo-
tion to pay him $3.50 in full for the whole of
his expenses to Milwaukee was lost by a
tie vote. This hangs up his bill Indefinitely.
A balance of " due uponi piano-tunine
bill caused ten-minutes' discussion. 1t
was the balance of a bill originally for ST
for tuning two pianos and supplying 81
worth of string. Mr.. Bragg and Mr. Con-
rey disagreed upon it. Then they agreed,
and Mr.. Conrey, seconded by Bragg, moved
that the bill be paid. The motion was lost.
A little more talk ensued, and 1t was finally
referred to the committee on furniture.
Mr.. Foshay reported that the public
schools will close on Thursday and that
proper arrangements had been made for
the safe keeping of all furniture in the build
ings.
The finance committee recommended the
payment of salaries of teachers, officers and
janitors for June, together with SS652O for
labor and supplies on the county fund, and
$499.25 on the county fund, and 1t was so or
dered.
The annual report of the buildings COM
mittee was received and filed. 1t is a re-
port on the actual condition of all school
buildings in the city, from personal exam
ination of the committee.
