EAST LAKE COUNCIL
 HOLDS A SESSION
Arrangements ofthe Board of Education for the Con-
 ing School Year

East Lake. August 9.-(special)-A spe- cial meeting of the board of aldermen was held last night to transact business of importance. The usual amount of rou- tine business was disposed of, the only item of interest being the report of the committee appointed to audit the ac- counts of the town clerk. The commit tees report showed everything connected with the books and accounts to be in prop CT condition.
 As President of the Board of Education, the mayor then presented to the board of aldermen the arrangements entered into b ythe Board of Education during the past three or four days for opening the public schools of the town on Septem- Der 30. These are briefly as follows: Hunts hall has been rented for three months from that date or as much longer as may be necessary This will accommo- date at least five grades. In order to lo- Cate the remainder the board of aldermen were requested to have the town hall built at once, the court room to be used temporarily for school purposes. This will satisfactorily accommodate the en- tire school until the new school building is available The Board of Education had also received bids for the necessary 1ur- niture for the new building. As some or this furniture will be needed when the school opens in it's temporary quarters it became necessary to place the oroer without delay or the furniture would not be on hand when needed. As the pur- chase of this furniture would entail con siderable expenditure on the town it was deemed wise to secure the endorsement of the board of aldermen before going ahead. The special meeting of the board of aldermen was called primarily to pass on these matters.
 After due deiiberation the action of the Board of Education was indorsed, 1t being instructed by unanimous vote to carry out It's plans as outlined. The building committee, composed of members of both boards, was also instructed to proceed with the building of the town hall ana push the work to completion as rapidly as possible. The Mayor, on behalf or the Educational Board expressed his thanks to the Board of Aldermen for the confi- dence shown by their action The Board of Education will meet tomorrow to close the contract for the furniture
