not believe that school boys congregate
there.
What will be the effect upon the
young people of that locality. II Is
shame to cast vote to destroy the
honest children of honest people.

Mr.. ]. Il. Hammond took the floor.
1.-THE board should only consider this
question as 1t will effect the public
schools. / We could by a resolution
wipe out tho district from the city. I
would only be too happy to cast
