Trustee Peabody sprung the real sem
sation. He said: Complaint has been
made to me that school teachers visit
the racetrack and keno games in Juar-
ez. 1 have no objection to their attend
ing the racetrack except on school
days, but do not think they should visit
the keno games at any time and 1
think the school board should take
some action"
Secretary Harper said: DO many
of them go?"
Peabody answered: "I know two
have been there
= ToOleyc Have we no check on them
TO see if they go there during school
hours?"
Peabody: II will admit that we have
no reports on it We have no control
over their time after school hours, but
think we should regulate 1t at that
time. Respectable people object TO the
keno games and 1 object to them"
Henry Welsch: Il don't believe any
Of those teachers go there during
school hours
Peabody: Neither do I. but 1 do
not want to be bothered with COM
plants. I do not think it is conducive
to good minds. If 1 get a man and
he is running to the racetrack all the
time he is not fit for my business or
anybody else's business
Ban Placed on Keno.
Tooley then offered the following
resolution which was seconded by Pea
body, and adopted, all voting except
Henry Welsch, who declined to vote.
In view of the fact that it has been
TO the school board that some
of the teachers in the FL Paso public
schools have been frequenting the
racetrack and keno games in Juarez.
that the school board heartily disap-
proves of such action and any teacher
or teachers found guilty of attending
the Keno games at any time. or the
racetrack on schooldays, will forfeit
his or her contract and be dismissed
from the service"
number of bills were passed over
to trustees Tooley and Harper to be
checked as the council chamber was
becoming colder and the members
feared they would freeze If they re-
manned there much longer
