The assertion that upon the affirm

Fdncation. ten per cent. damages,
an,ounting to "a, 200, wouIdibe assessed
srainst the city, is rather hard TO un-
Sorstand. Under the Code such dam
aces are only awarded upon the afflrm--
ance of judgments for the recovery OF

EXPRESSLY decided that a judgement
Granting a mandamus is not Judg-
ment for the recovery Of money.
Hinder such circumstances, one
might we'll be pardoned for suggesting
that it is possible for even the Board
of Education to be mistaken as to
what the law really is. The threat to
discontinue worksUpon the building and
the narrowing picture OF the wrecked
and ruined structure might also sug-
qest that some of the members Of that
Board are not so thoroughly familiar
with ali of the law relating to the
power of such bodies. If l were max

The attempt to create the impress
sion that the Council and the Mayor
are trying to control or to usurp the

absurd and only made for the purpose
Of Obscuring the real issue. The order

insist upon its being allowed to stay

upon placing it in the Citizens Bank
where it will be of no benefit to the

1.-The settlement of this question
should easily have been arrived at and
surely called for no such exhibition
as the one INDUCED in by the members
of the Board of Education. Relying
upon the correctness of its position in
refusing to needlessiy sacrifice the in
