CITY SCHOOL BOARD
The first meeting OF the now city
school board was held last night, when
NJ. $. Browning was elected president,
but the selection Of clerk and treasurer
was deferred for a week. The ses-
sion was a very inharmoniOus one.
The new members stirred up consid-
cradle feeling i'm their endeavor to
revolutionize the old methods OF the
board.
Mr.. Pingree's motion to have tho
books for the past year audited was
amended by DR. Coulter TO read four
years. and that the auditing be done
by uninterested persons. The four
year proposition failed, and when the
motion was changed so as 70 provide
for the auditing of the books since the
last time they were audited II was
carried.
Mr.. Pingree asked for informatio as
to the amount OF money the board had
on interest and at what rate. Presi-
dent Browning explained that the high
school bond money was placed In an
open account at pa per cent interest,
a. frrl "A fhsl old I'd
been unable 70 determine how long the
money was to be tied up Il was left
for the new board TO decide. A mo-
ton finally prevailed instrucung the
treasurer to furnish information as 10
what bank the money was deposited
in, the date the bonds money was re-
ceived, when placed on interest and at
what rate. This information Is to be
provided at the next regular meeting.
RAILROAD ICE HARVEST.
At the railroad ice houses in Ogden
Foreman J. NJ. Thurston has a force
of 80 men at work putting up the ice
for the Hartman lines In this city.
The crop Is being received from the
companys ponds near Evanston, Wyo..
and Is the best looking ice received
by the company in this city IN a num-
Der OF years. Already 1900 tons have
been stored. AS the recent warm
wave has had the effect OF diminishing
the supply at Evanston Il is very
probable that the company will have
10 walt for a cold spell before il can
finish harvesting the enormous crop.
