avenue school was the subject of wide
discussion, resulting in the decision of
that body that the board of education
be called upon to do something to
relieve the condition M. w. Davis
made the principal talk in which he
criticised the board for making what
he terms unfair distribution of the
school funds. He called attention to
the fact that there are eighty-four
children in the kinde rgarten and that
a portion of these are accommodated
in a barn. He also advocated that an
eighth grade is essential for the Lin
coin school and called attention to the
unsanitary condition of basement
room which is used for some Of the
smaller children. J. J. Patton also
spoke on the distribution of the money
received from the recent bond issue
and intimated that the money being
spent on the Franklin building could
have been used more advantageously.
President D. w. Lewis, of the school
board. in answer to the grievances of
the Lincoln avenue people, said that
some Of the criticisms are uncalled for
and in his opinion the rebuilding of
the Franklin school is absolutely
necessary from the fact that the board
expects to entertain the request for
manual work and to start it as soon as
the second floor of the Franklin can be
utilized for this purpose.
Regarding the congestion at the Lin
coin DR.. Lewis proposes that a redis-
tribution of the pupils will give some
relief next year and further that the
finances by next year will be in better
shape to make the improvements with.
In speaking of the need for more
room. Superintendent of Schools James
d. Graham said tonight:
1.-THE want of more rooms is apparent
both in the Lincoln and the Garfield
districts. The latter school is as over
crowded as the others and that part
of the city between the two schools is
growing up so rapidly we have not the
room to accommodate all the children.
/ propose to prevail upon the school
board to erect new building ard
create another district between the two
which will be the better solution of
righting any grievance the patrons may
have concerning the lack of room. Re-
garding the use of the funds the men,
bers of the board are capable of appor-
tioning the money to the best advan-
tage of all concerned"
Lieut.. Bartho Iomey Convicted

rich for the defendant asked for
