supply for the school would be taken.

the grounds was so as not to leave
a dead end within the school grounds
and the board felt that it would be
proper and the following resolution
was submitted. Resolution intro
duced by R. J. McGhee. Be is re-
solved, that the Board of Education
Of the Independent School District

ton from the Oliver Iron Mining
company stating that the water at
the Higgins Mine was decreasing
very rapidly and they feared they
would not be able to furnish water
for the Higgins school this coming
| school year and advised the board
to make other preparations for their
water supply. 1t was suggested that
there was bare possibility that
surface water could be supplied
which would be sufficient for flush
ing the toilets, and that water for
drinking purposes could be hauled
to them by team. After some dis.
cussion the chairman entertained the
following motion. Moved by r. J

investigate and make necessary ar
rangements for.
