ACTS LITTLE BUSINESS
Special Teachers for Deaf Mute Chi
dren-Bill for New School Houses
and Repairs-A squabble

AAo AHdHce COiHIuittee OF the city DOdrQ
of education at last evenings meeting of the
board recommended the payment OF 35l0.93
on the county fund and s4l6.16 on the city
fund for labor and other expenses. 1t was
also recommended that $4,000 be appropri-
ated for the Pico Heights school buildings,
the president and secretary to draw war
rants for the payments as per contract when
approved by the buildings committee and the
superintendent Of buildings. Messrs. Brady,
Bartlett and Mathis were absent, but this
rather expedited business, as the six men,
bers present all took up in turn the matter
of $3.50 bill for writing high school d.
plomas, the discussion lasting half an hour,
after which the item passed through with
the rest of the finance committees report.
The statistical report for 1S97-9S, filed by
Deputy Superintendent Ennis, showed,
among other figures, that the boys enrolled
in the public schools were 1857 and the girls
1c,os1. total Of 1888, a gain over last year
of Ss7.
The building committee recommended
number of repairs at roughly estimated
cost of $4,000 during vacation at various city
schools; also that the member of each ward
be authorized to appoint men In his ward to
do whatever painting there might have to
be done upon its school buildings, under the
supervision Of the superintendent Of build
ings. This last recommendation did not
suit some Of the members, because 1t would
give too much patronage to some of the d.
rectors and not enough to the others, and
that the matter Of giving out work ought to
be, under the rules and regulations, equally
divided. The howl prevailed and the rec
ommendation was knocked out, the rest of
the report being adopted.

lowing persons for the ensuing year, was
