GOLDBERG IS GIVEN

HAsTY ADJOURNMENT TAKEN
BURTON BUMPED, TOO.

ness. Thursday night, like mad bull
through hay field, and with one blow
of his gavel dismissed the meeting,
leaving Goldberg to fume and fret 10
his hearts, content. 1t was the most
open and daring affront the president
and his followers have yet handed the
opposition faction in the board. What
the purport of the resolution was no
one knows except Goldberg, but as the
inspector had freely criticised the ad
ministration during the evening, 1t Wac
a. safe guess that the resolution was
another knock.
Evidently suspecting that GOLDBERG
had something up his sleeve. President
George. after all the reports had been
submitted and acted upon, brought
the meeting to a close in less time
than the proverbial two jerks.
Sanitation, rules, special commit
tees, resolutions" he said, all in one
breath, and then. Motion to adjourn IL

At the word resolutions" Goldbers
was on his feet with his offering and
cried out repeatedly:
MIR. President! Mr.. President"
But he might as well have talked

dent declared the board adjourned on
filed cut, laughing at Goldberg's dis
Coutiture.

This was only one OF many clashes
during the evening, with Inspectors
Goldberg and Burton ever on the de-
fensive. Burton, IN early part OF the
meeting. took exception 10 a charge OF
$29S allowed Henry r. George for
mason work in the nature of repairs.
He claimed the charge had not been
authorized by the board in compliance
with the rules. but finally voted for
the approval OF the proceedings, along
with the rest of the members.
Inspector johnson discovered let

thai the rules be suspended altogether.
Goldberg objected to the approval

superintendent for the eligible list OF
teachers until he had had an cppor-
tunity to look them up tor see II all
were qualified. He was ignored, as
usual, and the list approved in spite
OF his objection. Similarly, when Mr..
Burton objected to bills aggregating
$39.417 being passed unless the items
were separated, the administration
crowd suspended the rules on Presi-
dent Georges suggestion and put the
bills through regardless Of the objec-
ton. All OF which shows that the
