so INFORMS THE COUNCIL.
Board Votes to Make Reasonable Pro
ticiency in English Requisite
For Graduation.
From Thursdays Daily.

The school board last night went on
record as favoring a settlement of the
Broad street controversy, by adopting a
resolution accepting the proposition rel
ative to the settlement of $207 net per
lot, and instructing the secretary to so
notify the council in writing. The mat
ter came up when Secretary Sparrow
laid before the board the agreement of the
property owners instructing their at
torneys to notify the council that they
would pay $3.50 lot with ten per cent
OIL tor cash, in full settlement Several
of the members of the board raised the
point that the board had never employed
attorneys to oppose the collection of the
assessment, and therefore could not in
struct them. If the board was to SIGN
the agreement it might lay itself liable
for attorney fees, which it did not care
to do. The first thing they knew the at
torneys might be presenting bill for
their services against those who sign
the agreement, sa it is an admission on
the part of those who sign that these
attorneys are acting for them 1t was
therefore decided to instruct the secre-
tary to notify the council directly, and
avoid any entanglements that may lead
to claim for attorney fees.
The resolution was adopted by a vote
of four to one, Dr. Beach casting the
only opposing vote. He remarked that
the pavement was a detriment and in

eighth grade nine more than year ago.
He asked whether the board desired to

ed not to make the transfer.

of the board especially that careful con-

edge and use of the English language,
and that no student should be recon-
