WILL FLOAT HIGH
SCHOOL BONDS.
Finance Board Prepares to
Issue SlOO, Worth
Payable May !, 1888.
SINKING FUND FOR PRINCIPAL
Provision for An Architect to
Draw Plans Money for
Little Italy Park.

At the request of the Board of Educa-
fion the Finance Board yesterday after
noon passed resolution to issue $780,
600 worth Of school bonds to pay for
the new High School site, and creating
sinking fund to pay the principal by
inserting $1,000 every year in the tax
levy until the principal is due. The
bonds will be dated May %, 1908, and
will be payable May 1, 1888.
Of the 100000 to be thus raised it
was decided by another resolution to ap-
propriate $4,000 to the use of the Board
of Education for the purpose of employ
ing an architect to draw plans for the
new High School and to supervise the
erection thereof.
Commissioner Brock tried to have the
latter resolution amended so as to leave
the matter open to competition of all the
architects in the city. He Also called
attention to the fact that the recent
validity of the recent sale Of $25, 900
worth of school bonds to Cincinnati
firm had been questioned by counsel of a
Boston firm on the fact that the Board
Of Education had not presented a certi-
fed resolution to the Board of Finance
requesting such an appropriation He
was informed that the Board of Educa
ton had since made good by complying
with the law dealing with the matter.
Another resolution was passed author
izing the payment of $4,000 to County
Collector Egan on account of county
taxes for 1902.
A resolution to set aside from the
contingent fund $3.50 for maintenance
of Little Italy Park was laid over after
some discussion over the question raised
as to the city's clear title to the entire
property.
Is Warrants were ordered drawn on the
City Treasurer in favor of that officer
to be deposited to the credit of June,
1908, interest, as follows:
On general account. ........ SIG, $3.50

Everybody commented upon the splen-

marching in his last police parade, after
a meritorious service in the department

five thousand people had gathered to
witness the review and inspection by the
Mayor, the Chief and the Police Com

on the west side of the park, facing the

On the lines being opened for review the
