cept Messrs. Lally, Bauer and jack
son. Supt Hatfield made his regular
report, showing among other things
that the Illinois Central railroad
Authorities had notified him of the
hazardous route followed by school
children in passing near the yards en-
route to their studies and his subse-
quent instructions to the scholars pro-
hibiting their passing near The cars.
There were aces white pupils en-
rolled for the past month and s95 col
ored pupils, making total of 3,15s.
Regarding Professor Schaffer's resig
nation Prof Hatfield stated the latter
rendered il on account Of not being
willing to assist Principal Hibbs in

so5.77 on hand March /; received
during month, 81 s97.69; paid out,
81, 402. OF; balance on hand, S., 24o.95.
The document was recorded.
On motion OF Trustee Terrell it was
ordered that requests be sent the city
for the 81, 900 due the schools and the

Chairman Terrell presented the f.
nance committees report, giving

Teachers, s3s, COO; fuel and miscel
lany, $4,000; repairs, $1,000; fur
mace at Washington building, $4,000;
total, $4,000. From this deduct
$4,000 coming from state, leaves
$50, 600 desired from the municipal
ity.
Chairman weille of the building
committee did not think this would
be enough. He Thought at least ss,-
800 would be needed for buildings and
repairs-sl, 500 for furnace at the
Jefferson building; $4,000 on the
Washington and SO, coo for miscellan-

In addition, the board desires to
have the sewerage system extended to
the new building on West Broadway.
which may be done under the second
class charter and money would be
needed to make the sewerage connec-
tions, and also TO put in q new furnace
at the Longfellow building.
On motion it was decided that the
building committee ask for estimates
for furnaces for the Longfellow and
Washington buildings, but not to let
any contract. The same committee
was also instructed to look after some
repairs to the Franklin school building
roof.
1t was suggested that a committee
be appointed to compile new rules for
the schools under the new charter,
but Is there is very little difference,
this was deemed unnecessary.
Chairman Leake of the sewerage
committee, reported in favor of pay
ing the sewerage bill of Contractors
Biederman and Halloran for work at
the building at Eigth and Ohio street.
/. Prof. Schaffer, the colored teacher
who resigned in a hurry recently
because he was asked to assist in
keeping the LIKES straight when the
pupils marched into school. and did
not desire to do so, has time to re-
pent at leisure. His resignation was
accepted by an unanimous vote. even
after he had addressed the board and
said he wanted an investigation, but
would like 20 remain IN the schools.
The board decided that department
