the last meeting instructing the finance
committee to report next week, Bert ).
Gadd. preceded to denOunce the finance
committee for what he termed policy
of delay and said when he made the mo-
ton he forgot there were five Tuesdays
in the month and he thought the matter
was due to come up at the meeting last
night He then moved the business dt-
rector prepare the resolution without
waiting for the approval of the finance
committee.
Mr.. Allison objected, saying this was
not in keeping with the Instructions
given his committee and the action
showed discourtesy toward the commit

E Crippin and Mr.. Gadd.

STOP SIMULTANEOUSLY.
The wrangIing and the big clock on
the wall stopped simultaneously at e1-
actly 9:36. a coincidence that resulted In
considerable discussion on the part OF
the spectators in the room, although no
two were able TO agree on what connec-
ton, if any, there was between the two
events.

system the board settled down to the
matter Of considering repairs and I'M
provements for various school buildings
during the summer months. Without ar
Cuunent OF discussion the expenditure OF
SIq9.OO3.I2 was authorized for this pur-
pose. OF this amount s39,216 VIII be ex-
pended on school No. l. and $4,000 on
school No. %
Mr.. Douglas told the board the ex-
penditure OF this money would leave
de6eit OF approximately 100000 in the
fund. from which it must be paid
Whether or not a bond issue will be
made to cover this will be decided at d
future date,
Mr Gadd explained while this expen-
diture might seem large, it was neces-
sary one and when completed would
leave every building in good condition.
