There was much discussion over a
hill of Gilpin, Van Trump q Mont
gomerv for $780, which is the pre-
MUM on the insurance on the boilers
AT the High Scnool. The bill has been
due for eight months, but for some
reason has never been approved by Mr.
Kersey, ch tirman of the insurance com
mitt q. Mr.. Tadman said he did not
know why Mr.. Kersey had not signed
II. as the bill was correct. Mr. Tad
man moved that the committee on
insurance be given 10 days in which
10 sign the bill and if it is not signed
then. that it be passed by the board
without the approval of the committee.
The motion was carried.
At the last meeting Of the board,
4 DR.. Cooper gave notice that at the en-
suing meeting he would ask that the
rules which call for May week to begin
the first week in May, be changed so
that this year May week will start next
Monday, April 30. That week will
be much more suitable to the pupils
When the matter was brought up
last week, Mr.. O'Donnell opposed it

ferred the matter to the law committee,
TO be acted upon at once. The COM
mittee, after being out few minutes,
returned with a report to the effect
that as all members present at the last
meeting Leard DIR. Cooper give his
notice, that was sufficient. The
motion to have May week start next
Monday was then adopted. Mr.. O'Don-
nell voted Cgainst it.
