PLUMBING CONTROVERSY
MAY BE REC0NSlDERED
Boards of Education and Health Are
Expected to Hold Another Meeting

Side of Question

PASADENA, Aug. 7.-Another meet
ing of the boards of education and of

Shaver will be allowed to be present
and state his side of the controversy
over the plumbing in the high and Nc
Kinley schools, is the latest develop
ment in the case. This announcement
has not been given out officially, but is
practically certain.
Shaver, in demanding that. the board
of education comply with. the city or
dinances in regard to sanitary plumb
ing, has been forced to depend on COM
munications to the board, personal in
terviews with the members and news
papers. At the two long meetings last
Tuesday and Wednesday, when the
board finally decided to retain the
plumbing although it violates the or
dinances, mainly because it will take
$4,000 to replace it, Shaver was not
called in to present his side of the case:
1t appears now that the matter Will
be reheard, if not reconsidered.
Shaver announced today that he
would bring suit against the board of
education if it did not comply with the
ordinance.
