PARIS. KENTUCKY. FRIDAY. APRIL 3. 1908

Board to file several more amended pc
titions and summon and examine a
number of witnesses before the case
could finally he decided. This fact
alone fully justifies you in the course
you have pursued. 1t would seem that
the ten-year-old child who could not
misunderstood the law would be pre-
cocious irdeed.
2. Your contention that the profits
arising from the use. of this money
should 60 to and be used for the bene-
tit of the Taxpayers was fully sus-
tained by the Court. In deciding the
case, Judge Stout held substantially
the same thing, and said to the mem
bers of the School Board, who were all
present, that while he had no authority
to provide for it in the judgment, it
was his opinion that this money
shuuld be deposited in the bank or with
the individual VINO would pay the larg-
est sum for its use. He suggested
that in order to determine where it
should be deposited. the School Board
should hold an auction and let all OF
the banks bid for the deposit and then
require the Treasurer of that Board to
deposit the fund with the highest bid
Judge in deciding the case, not only
justities but fully vindicates you.
3. You claimed that if the fuld was
left on the deposit with the City
Treasurer, a sum amounting to six cr-
eight hundred dollars would be saved
to the taxpayers in the way of inter-
est charges, although the fund was alb
Solutely at the disposal of the School
only ha i
warrants of that body. You also claim
ed that this money would be lost to the
tax payers If the place of deposit was
changed, as the Treasurer of the
School Board would pay no interest
upon the fund. The truth. of those
statements was not only proven by the
sworn testimony of the witnesses, but
was admitted as true and not question
ed by the attorneys for the Board.
a. Although the money was absolute
ly at the disposal of the School Board.
the refusal of that body to issue a
warrant upon the fund while it was in
the hands of the City Treasurer, was,
as /: was claimed, based upon section
1902 Of the Kentucky Statutes, which
reads as follows: "No money shall
be drawn from the funds unless the
Solh0 onali hdES DeeH appropriated Dy
order of the Board of Education, and
no appropriation of money shall be
made to be paid out of said school
funds unless the money shall actually
be in the Treasury to meet the draft
1t was strenuously insisted by the
counsel for the School Board that it
would be unlawful for that body to is
sue warrant upon the fund unless it
was actually in the hands of its Treas
urer. but the members of the Board
testified under oath that they disregard
ed this law whenever it suited them
to do so as one of the members testif-

Der OF the Board.' | do not refer to
this in any spirit OF criticism or dsiap-
! proval but merely to show that even
the members of the School Board
have their failings common to us all
of being great stickIers for the law
when it happens to favor their side.
| am more disposed to congratulate
them Upon being able to win victory
under strict circumstances.
5. Not only was the impression con-
veyed in the communication referred
to. but it was given out and published
in the papers, that work on the builC
ing had stopped and could not be re-
sumed until this money was paid over
to the School Board. This report was
very lndustriously circulated and YETI
when put under oath. the members OF
that body, and more especially the
President of the Board, swore positive-
ly that no contractor had quiz work
and that there had not been a single
days delay on account of the money
not having been deposited with the
Treasurer of the School Board.
6. 1t was also charged that your
refusal to comply with their demand
was due to personal feeling on your
part and to a desire to even up with
the members of the School Board by
interfering with them in the proper ex
ercise of their authority. 1t was also
said that the reason for the opposition
TO their election last year was due to a
wish to elect School Board that could
be dominated by the city authorities.
Not only the absurdity, but the falsity
as well. of such charge is conclusive
ly proven by the fact that no step IN
that direction has ever been taken, al
though you could have done so at any
time. If such state of affairs was
desired by you, it could easily have
been accomplished at any time by the
mere passage OF an ordinance which,
while it would make no particular
change in the school, would legislate
the present Board of Education out of
existence. The members of that Board
who seem, at least in their public ut
terances, to be so thoroughly informed
upon al the law, must know that the I
Council has the power to separate, at
any time. the white and cOlored schools, |
and when that is done, to appoint two
boards of trustees TO serve until the /
next election. This authority IS given /
by an amendment to the charters OF 1
cities of the fourth class adopted by (
the Legislature in 1904. If these gen
tlemen have never seen that law, itI
can easily be found by reference to
page I29 of the Acts of the General
Assembly of 1904. The fact that you
have never taken any such steps shows
that you have never had any desire to
interfere officially with the manage
ment of the schools. If as citizens you
saw fit. as you did. to oppose the can
didacy of e.gentlemen, you had the
undoubted right TO do SO and they
should not complain because you be-
lieve that change in the management

CALLED MEETING
OF CITY COUNCIL.
Orders Warrant to Be Drawn For
$4,000 in Favor OF Treas
urer Of School Board.
MAYOR O'BRIEN GIVES FACTS.

Ara called meeting OF the City Coun-
81 Wednesday afternoon, Mayor
1anes N. O'Biien was in the chair
and the following Counciimen present :
n T. Parrish, John Duvai, w. H.
Webb. J. II. Taylor, L. z. Woods,
James Dempsey.
Alter the Mayor stated the cause Of
the called meeting and read the COM
runication, which we give in full be-
low Councilman Webb made a motion,
which was seconded by Councilman
Woods that a warrant for $40, 600 be
drawn on the City Treasurer in favor
of the Treasurer OF the School Board.
The motion carried unanimously.
To the Board of Council of the City
of Paris, KY:
Gentlemen While the Court has
directed you to issue an order requir-
inc the City Treasurer to pay to the
Board of Education, the amount re-
cieved from the sale of bonds, at the
same time, it fully justified you in
vour refusal to turn over this fund I'M
III the rights Of all parties had been
iudiciaIly determined. Your sole con-
tention has been that the taxpayers
were entitled to all profits arising from
the use Of this money previous to its
expenditure. After your refusal to
comply with the demand of the School
Board the members of that body saw
fit to issue an iii advised and intemper-
ate communication, attacking both
your motives and my own, although the
only difference was upon a question of
law and public policy Whether Or not
the statements contained in that CON-
munlcatiOn were correct, can best be
determined by comparison between
them and the facts, and more especially
with those matters developed in the
course Of the trial in the Circuit Court,
about which there can be no dispute.
In order to make the matter clear,
those statements will be considered
separately.
/. Although it was stated positively
that the law was so plain that a ten
year-Old child could not misunderstood
it, yet the argument on the law as to
the right OF the School Board to have
control Of this fund, consumed nearly
SIX hours and at its conclusion, the
Court took the question under consid-
Grafton for nearly five days before de-
cdlng that as a mere matter of law
the School Board was entitled to this
money and had the righD to maintain
the suit. And even after that, it be-
came necessary for the lawyers for the
