quested Appropriation

90 Lots.

ANf
The Board of Education met last night.
Director Mulvaney acted as clerk in the
absence of Mr.. Wiseman, who is suffering
from grip.
A COMMUNICATION from the Minkakwa
Club urging the Board to acquire four
more lots adjoining the site of old School
No. 20, which was destroyed by fire, was
referred to the proper committee for con-
sideration. Subsequently the Board, by a
unanimous vote, passed a resolution re-
questing the Board Of Finance to appro-
pirate a sufficient sum of money to pay
for the lots the Greenvilleites want added
to the school site.
A letter from the Fire Board asking
that the walls of No. 20 be torn down
caused a debate.
Director higgins reported that the walls
are already being removed. He also
called attention to the fact that there re-
mains in the ruins much property con-
nected with the heating apparatus and
boilers which was not damaged by the
fire. He suggested that it be collected
and used in the other schools.
Director Finn thought it wise to hire a
Waterman. He was empowered to engage
a suitable man.
Alderman Fry and a number of residents
of Greenville were present. Director Mig
gins asked them to express their opinions
about what the Board has lone in pro-
viding accommodation for the pupils of
No. 20 and toward erecting a new build
ing.
Alderman Fry declared that the people
are well satisfied with what has been done
and he also observed that if the good
work is kept up there will be no cause
for complaint.
Directors Finn, Mulvaney and Quinn
were appointed a committee on new
School No. 20, which will be erected. as
soon as practicable.
Counselor Carey sent a letter to the
Board agreeing to give it the use of the
Minkakwa i u rooms for schoo pur-
poses. The Board is to take the rooms
for one year at a monthly rental of $50,
the lease to run from February 1, 1899.
The Board is given the privilege of retain
ing the rooms longer than one year If oc-
casion requires. At the conclusion OF
the tenancy the city is to restore the
building to as good condition as it is IN
at present.
The Corporation Attorney was directed
to prepare the necessary lease. The al
terations of the clubhouse nave already
been started.
Director Finn reported that the Board
of Health has examined the building and
is practically taking charge of the sani-
tary arrangements. The arrangement

NEW PUBLICATIONS
Harper's Magazine for March.


In the current issue of "Harper's Maya
appears the last instalment OF Tine
Span O. Life by William McLennan and
+. n. McIlwraith. The romance will
shortly be brought out in book form, and
with its many and beautiful illustrations
by r. de Myrbach will make a most at
t~ractiye volume. 1t is a stirring story OF
the French and Indian war, dealing with
the Cheralier Maxwell, who is an adher-
ent OF Prime Charles. and who, after the
battle of Culloden, is forced to flee to the
New World. He is made an officer in the
French army, and the story concerns IT
self with his love affair with his cousin,
who follows him through the CANADIAN
wilderness attended only by her maid.
The story is as good as modern romantic
fction affords. The authors know their
z most entertaining story around Wolfe
and Montcalm and the ramat capture
Of Quebec.
