BOARD OF EDUCATION MEETING.
Question of Printing the Bonds IL
Still Unsettled.


Stili Unsettled.
The meeting of the Board OF Education
last night again failed to settle the question
OF printing tue bonds, w. II. Thomas, the
local representative of the United States
Mortgage and Trust company, was pres
ent and insisted that his company had car
ried out it's part of the contract and that
the proposition made by him to the board
was never intended to convey the impress
sion that the company would furnish the
legal opinion Of the validity Of the issue.
President Sims read extracts from circulars
sent by the company at the time II was
seeking the contract to print the bonds, in
which it plainly said the company furnished
the legal opinion on the bonds that 1t
printed Mr.. Thomas could not say what
action the company would take in view OF
the board resembling the contract lie was
willing, however, since the board appeared
to have as much litigation on its hands as
IL wanted, to withdraw the former PROPOSE
tion, provided the board would recompense
the company for the expense IL had been put
to in mailing 200 circulars to bond pur-
chasers and make the issue OF bonds pay
able at the company's office in New York.
None OF the members seemed willing to
take the initiative in any definite action
and q motion TO defer action until after

Done"

A vast amount of mischief is done, too
because people neglect too keep their
blood pure The mischief appears in
eruptions, dyspepsia, indigestion, nervous
ness, kidney diseases. and other ailments.
This mischief, fortunately may be I'M
done by the faithful use of Hoods Sarsa-
parilla which cures all diseases originating
in or promoted by impure blood.
