report on election Of superintendent
first meeting In June, instead of last
meeting OF May. Cushing's manuel
was discarded and Roberts rules OF
order were adopted as parliamentary
standard.
Nearly all the rules delegating power
to the superintendent Of buildings were
stricken out The rule applying to the
duties Of the secretary of the superin-
tendent was also omitted. that official
not being paid by the board.
The report on the committee on rules
led to some discussion. Mr. Burnheim-
er thought that 1t limited the powers
of the committee on buildings, deprlv-
ing 1t of its right to purchase neces-
sary supplies. A motion to adopt led
to still further discussion. March
wanted the report laid over SO that Il
could be properly considered. He in
sisted that the rules made this neces-
sary. and the chair sustained this posi-.
tion, and the report went over under
rule 81.
