The Los Angeles Pacific railway got

The Los Angeles railway, by w. c.

School Board Divided
The Los Angeles board of education
is divided among its own members as
to what it shall do in regard to per-
hitting the Los Angeles Pacific Rail-
way company to tunnel under the Olive
street school house, i'm accordance with
the franchise granted that corporation
by the city council some time ago.
The discussion has been hanging fire

seems as far from a satisfactory solu-
tion as ever.
At the board meeting last night the
building committee, to which the mat
ter had been referred, handed in two
having been unable to reach
an agreement.
The majority report, signed by
Messrs. Stilson and Frank, provides
that for the right of way and easement
the railroad company shall pay the
board of education the sum of $1,000 and
guarantee it against all future dam
ages.
The minority report, which consisted
of the chairman, j. NJ. Quinn, did not
believe this a fair compensation for
what he considers will materially in
jure the school property, and in addi-
ton to the protective clauses of the
report, he incorporated in his
minority report the condition that the

struct under the school a foundation
that will support modern ten-story
steel reinforced building.
The matter was referred to a COM
mittee of the whole last night with
Mr.. Frank as chairman. Final action
will be taken at a special meeting
which has been called for Thursday

pected to have present representatives.
