MANY GRIEVANCES
IN DAMAGE CLAIM
Mrs. Theo. c. Brooks Presents
Demand for $1,000 to City

SAYS PUPILS DISTURB

turb Her Peace.

Alleging that by reason of the main.
tenance of certain alleged puisances
at the Wasatch school her property ad-
joining the school on the east has been
damaged, Mrs. Brooks, 1910 First
avenue, has filed claim with the
board of education for the collection
of damages in the sum Of $4,000 and
interest thereon from October J., 1909,
Mrs Brooks AYERS that when the an
mex TO the school was built the ex-
cavatiou caused the caviug in of her
ground and that thereby the earth fell
away from the roots Of eight ornameu-
tai trees on her property and that the
trees died.

she alleges that an average Of about
65O pupils attend the school and that
as a part Of the daily curriculum the
pupils are caused to sing in concert
during the school hours and always
ut the convening and closing Of the
days study, all of which she says dis
turbs ber peace of mind and causes
great annoyance to herself and fam
lily. She also says that during recess
time the pupils are in the habit of
yelling and throwing missiles, some of
which have broken windows in her

school the children run over her lawn
to the great damage Of the grass and
flowers.
The school, she says, is also nuis-
ance by reason of the manner in which
the building and grounds are main
tuined. The sidewalks are always dirty
and unsightly, there has never been
any effort made to park the space be-
tween the sidewalk and curbing the
alley in the rear is neither paved nor
kept clean, the smoke stack of the
school is fine example of the smoke
nuisance and the toilets are very un-
sanitary.
Mrs. Brooks alleges that by reason
of the manner in which the school is
conducted, she will be unable to
live in her home and that it, has been
permanently damaged to the extent of
$4,000.
The claim has been referred to the
building and grounds committee of the
board for report and recommendation.
