BURTON PROTEST
BRINGS GEORGE
TO TIME
SCHOOL BOARD PRESIDENT HAS
SPECIAL MEETING CALL FRAN
ED IN LEGAL FoRM-oNE CENT
CAUSE OF NEAR-scRAP.

The Martindale-GeorgeT faction In
the school board paid Inspector G.
M. Burton, OF the opposition. pretty
compliment In framing the call for
Monday nights special meeting OF
the board of education, made neces-
sary by the lack of quorum last
Thursday night. On previous occa
sion Mr.. Burton had objected TO the
form of the call as not being legal In
that it did not specify the business to
be transacted. AT that time Presi-
dent George ruled that the words
such other business" covered the
ground. This time, however, MI.
George referred the question TO AS
sistant Corporation Counsel Dohany
with a request that he draw up call
that would be in legal form. The re-
guilt was that the call read Monday
night was a most voluminous affair.
setting forth the entire order OF pro-
cedure. Mr.. Burton simply smiled.
About the only excitement OF the
evening was over the purchase OF
closets for the schools and that was
only a near-scrap with one cent as
the bone OF contention. The commit
tee on supplies recommend that the
closets be purchased from Jacob
Zerga at cost of $3.50, while John
+. Jones was the lowest bidder at one
cent less. His bid was on a closet
manufactured by the Park G. Mckay
Co., OF Detroit, and Inspector Burton
read letter from the lattern concern,
protesting against the awarding OF
the contract to Zerga and stating that
their article had been In use In the
schools for eight years and had never
cost the board cent for repairs.
Buttons motion to substitute Jones
name for Zerga's was lost. but on the
objection OF Inspector Goldberg the
matter went over for two weeks.
Mayor Thompson's veto OF the
Duane Doty school site purchase was
formally sustained and the secretary
was instructed to readvertise for sites
in the same district, viz.-West OF
Second-ave., north of Taylor-ave. and
in the vicinity of Hamilton boulevard.
The awarding OF the coal contracts
was postponed two weeks. The COM
mittee on supplies has recommended
that p. Koenig 4 Sons be awarded the
contract for mutt pea and slack at
$27S per ton and for three-quarter
lump at S3.08. A. Y. Malcomson's bid
of s403 for lump and the Houghton-
French Co.'S bid of $b.SS for hard
coal are recommended.

building Of the new Bishop school as
follows: Mason work. Otto Misch.

fering from a hot-weather slump. and
at the weekly session Monday after

lief from the CALLING bonds OF matri-
mony.
Bertha n. Sidener complained that
William II. Sidener, TO whom she was
married In Findlay. Ohio. In 1898. was
cruel TO her, and finally ordered her
out OF their home. AS a sample of
Williams cruelty, Mrs. Sidener said
that once q buggy in which she was
driving was struck by street car.
The buggy was demolished and Mrs.
Sidener seriously injured, but she
says her husband paid no attention
TO her, never expressed any sympathy,
but busted himself collecting dam
ages from the company, all OF which
he spent upon himself.
Nellie Hazen's habit of going home
TO mamma for few days at every
little excuse was the cause OF Marcus
Hazen's appearance in divorce court,
he testified. He said that his wife
refused to do any housework, that
she possessed an ungovernable tenn
per. and would pout for days at a
time. The final break came when
Nellie announced that she was going
home. aud intended to remain there.
The Hazens were married In the 500

Emma Knofsky said that her hus-
band, William, announced to her one
day that he couldn't give her money
and pay his bar bills, SO she had TO
get out and work for herself. She
also charged that William made her
life miserable with his false accusa-
tons. They were married in March.

was asked II she had gone away with
another man. and he replied that he
had been told she had. but OF that
he had no proof.

She charged cruelty and non-support.
