SCHOOL, BOARD
FAILS TO SHOW
UP AT COUNCIL:
Eastside Riddles Swelter
While Waiting For
Wading Pool

Expectation that the difficulties
between the city board of trustees
and the trustees of the Ell Centro
school district, relative to transfer
ring property on the east side from
the school board to the citv. for
park purposes, would be straighten-
ed ont Mt last night s meeting of
the city council, did not nat"ria-
lie, as the school trustees failed to
accept the invitation of the city
council to attend the meeting.
In response to. the school board s
letter of June 13, the city clerk, on
June 27, by direction of Mavor
Fawcett, addressed Il letter to the
school trustees, advising them that
the city cannot legally spend mon
ey for park purposes on leased land
and invited the trustees to attend
the next city council meeting ON
July 5, to see if some agreement
could not be reached for transfer
to the city of the land on the east
side which the school board owns.
Promised to Deed Property
ment was made that the school
would be willing to deed the proper
tv in question outright to the city,
in case it was found that city funds
could not be spent on leased land.
The members of.-,the city council
were hopeful that the matter would
be settled once and for all last
night, and the failure of the school
board to attend last nights meet
ing was q matter of regret.
In the menatime, the "kiddies !
on the east side are enjoying plenty
of dust and dirt, and Il summer tenn
perature of 115 degrees and better.
They were led to believe before
school closed in May, that a wading
pool for them would be only a mat
ter of few weeks. The summer
is well advancing and nothing has
been done to give them any relief.
The Youngsters on this side of the
tracks have a good wading pool and
are thoroughly enjoying it.
Entitled to Consideration
The "kiddies'' on the east side
nav be several shades darker in
color than those on the west side,
but they are kiddies" just the
same and should receive the same
privileges that any youngster is en-
titled to. The indifference of the
school board members, rs shown by
their failure to attend last night s
council meeting, is lamentable and
it is hoped that something definite
will be done without any further
delay.
