Declaring that the third stories OF
the grade schools Of Keokuk are I'M
safe for pupils, L. A. Hamill secured
the appointment of an investigating
committee at the regular monthly
meeting of the school board last ev-
ening.
Director Hamill did not wish to be
put in the light of an alarmist before
the people of Keokuk, but his move
was one to clear his own skirts he ex
planned. He stated that in his opinion
the third stories of the Wells, Gar
field, Carey and Terrence schools
should not be occupied and should be
removed
To legislate the motion through the
board required great deal of per-
severance by the author of it. The
other directors pointed out that such
a move would require additional quar-
tiers for the pupils The motion was
finally carried and W. B. Woolley, j.
A. Dunlap and A. B. Hughes were
appointed members of the committee
of investigation.
Directors W. B. Woolley, ]. a. Dun
