school Board Meets.
Elaborate plans are being made BY the
Board Of Education for the expenditure Of
the money now in the city treasury which
was brought in py the payment Of saloon
licenses. At last nights meeting Of the
board a motion prevailed directing the
buildings and grounds committee to ad-
vertise for bids for a site for an eight
room building.
This building lie to be erected between
Twenty-third and Twenty-hfth streets on
the east and west and P and w streets on
the south. This means an expenditure Of
a large portion of the boards revenue and
the movement was not favored by all Of
the members, although there has been a
constant demand for more school room. A.
L. Davis was employed az architect Of the
board for another year on the former
terms.
The report Of Expert Chick did not favor
the old board or its secretary to any alarm
ing extent, as mention was made Of the
fact that erasures had frequently been
made. Morrill, suggested that in the flu
ture no supplies be purchased except upon
an order Of the supply committee, at least
two members signing the order. This was
agreed to.
.Henceforth all teachers will be assigned
by the superintendent instead Of by the
teachers committee of the board.
A request will be made that teachers at
tend summer schools wherever it is prac-
ticable. All teachers who have been elected
so far are requested to notify the chairman
Of the teachers' committee at once whether
they will accept the positions rendered
them or not.
