BOARD APPROVES FIRE ESCAPES
Wants City Council to Amend the
nrdi

orutnnuce.
The Board of Education held special
session yesterday for the purpose of discus
sing the city fire escape ordinance relative
to the public school buildings. The mem
bers present expressed themselves as OPP
posed to erecting fire escapes on the school
buildings and after thoroughly discussing
the matter, 1t was decided to ask the city
council to amend the ordinance SO as not to
include the public school buildings.
President Sims explained that II the city
insisted on enforcing the provisions Of the
measure it would be necessary to erect
eighteen fire escapes on the Washington
| avenue school and the number on the other
buildings would range from twelve to two.
He estimated that the expense of putting UP
these escapes would be about $40, 900.
Member Cooper, chairman of the commit
| tee on buildings and grounds, said he was
SO much opposed to fire escapes on the
schools that he would go to Jail before he
| would vote to place them on the buildings.
| The other members expressed themselves
| as equally opposed. Member Cooper re-
ported that test had been made on the
| Washington avenue building, where the
| largest number of children attended, and
within three minutes after the alarm bell
| had been sounded the school was emptied,
the children marching down the broad stair
ways by rooms, under the guidance Of their
| teachers
1t was decided that the members of
| the board should appear before the city
| council at its meeting Monday night and
request that the ordinance be amended so
| as to exclude the school buildings from its
| provisions.
Chairman Henry of the teachers COM
mittee reported that Miss Anna B. Landon
had resigned from the Washington avenue
| school on account OF i'll health and that Miss
Ada Stephenson had been elected to fill the
vacancy, her salary being fixed at $35. He
also called attention to the fact that no
provision had been made for the salaries of
Miss Grace Ament, Miss Belle Wylie and
! Miss Harriet Walker, Kindergarten assist
| ants and, on his recommendation, that OF
the first two were fixed at $35 and Miss
Walkers at $40. The salary of Miss Anna
Van Der Cook was increased from $50 to
| $65, she having been assigned to the seventh
instead of the sixth grade, owing to the in
| creased number Of pupils in the latter grade.
1t had been reported to the board that the
contractor was using twelve feet instead of
| fourteen feet stringers in the construction
of the new school building at Cut Off and
| Supervisor Brewick was instructed to secure
copy of the specifications and see that the
contractor complied with them.
After transacting some other minor busi-
| ness the board adjourned.

Home Team Takes Game from
GlenwOod with Little Trouble.
The first foot ball game of the season Sat-
urday afternoon at the Driving Park be-
tween the elevens Of the Council Bluffs and
Glenwood High schools resulted in decided
victory for the home team by score OF
~ to 10. The visitors were heavier than the
homo boys but the latter outplayed them
at every point after they had gotten well
warmed up. Glenwood was weak in its goal
kicking. and although three touchdowns
were marked to its credit it failed every
time to send the pigskin between the posts
and over the bar. At the outset Of the game
Glenwood had everything it's own way and it
looked as If the Council Bluffs were out
matched, and the first half ended with the
score 10 to B in favor of the visitors.
In the second half the Bluffs boys pulled
themselves together and soon had their
opponents on the run. In the early part of
the second half Retiring, playing right end
Tor the Bluffs, had the misfortune to break
MS collar bone and Grason was taken from
left tackle to fill his place. Mayne, one o,
the substitutes, filled Grason's place. In
the first half Frank Gay the home teams

ne was Withdrawn and DR.. v. l.. Treynor
