 Financier--Two Fined S25 Each For Reckless Driving.

Tt looks to me like a pure case of passing the buck and I don't think that it should be done," de- clared Corporation Counsel William N. Dorosier of the city council last night, when the matter of a claim for damages to property of Mrs. John Hull on Summer street from water flowing from the old high school property was discussed. Sev- eral letters were read from the board of education, regarding the property and these caused the statement of the city's attorney.
 Chairman Noble E. Pierce of the board said in one of his letters that he and Superintendent of Schools Karl A. Reiche had visited the spot and had made vague" promises to Mrs. Hull that the damage would be remedied. Mir. Pierce recom- mended the sale of a portion of the land over which a driveway of the Hull property passes AS 1t had been found that the city line was irregu- ular and for some years past, Mrs. Hull had used the property under he assumption that it was her own. The city councilmen did not fav- or giving title to any of the city land as years back information had been given to city officials that a sale could not take place as the city school property had been ob- tained by condemnation proceed ings and therefore could be used for school purposes only.
 Following a long discussion and an opinion by Mir. Derosier that the matter should be handled by the board of education inasmuch as that body had put it's finger into the pie, the council voted to have Mayor John F. Wade and superin- tendent of Public Works Oscar An derson look over the situation and improve matters.
