t2th District Asks City to Come
 to Its Rescue
LONG COUNCIL MEETING
Judge Malone Again in Limellght Over Building Line-Lightning Kills Cow in Pasturc-Wednesday Half Holiday Begins.

The fact that the signatures on the petition from residents and tax payers of the twelfth school district to the city council last night asking aid from the city in the erection of a new school. showed that the two factions in the district had gotten together, caused the council to take definite steps to render assistance. Thematter was referred to the board The matter was referred to the board of education and Corporation Counsel William N. Derosier to present some means of settlement.
 The petition asked that the coun- ell loan the district the sum of $6,000 to pay for a new two room school as the district had been un- able to raise the money. Thirty eight signatures were attached to the petition, thereby taking in nearly every taxpayer in the dis trict.
 In support of the petition, Miss Irene Clark, member of the dis trict building committee, asked that the council assist thedistrict, which had been embroiled for some time and now was on it's way to a settle ment of It's difficulties. Mayor Wade said that he knew of no way that the city could assist and called for an opinion on the matter from the corporation counsel. MT. Derosier said that he had discussed the mat ter at various times with Miss Clark and they found statute allowing financial assistance such as request ed by city provided that a district was financially unable to go ahead with it's own building program. He declared, however, that he thought that it would be hard to convince anyone that the Fall Mountain dis trict was in such a financial status. He further declared that he thought that the council would be open to serious criticism from the taxpayers if money was voted for such a pur- pose and advised the council to go slowly.
 Mayor Wade then informed Miss Clark that he saw but slim likeli- hood of the council entering in the district affairs but new turn to the matter was given by Council man Homer H. Judd, who called the attention of the mayor and the council to the fact that the factions had compromised and that nearly every taxpayer had signed the petition.
 Lightning Kills Cow owned by E. S. Gillette of Hill street during the storm early yesterday morning, it was discovered during the day, when some boys passed the pasture which runs near the Chippanee Country club. The bolt struck a tree under which the COW was standing and after run ming down the trunk, apparently jumped several feet to the bovine. A narrow black streak along the tree trunk and along the cows side showed the path of the bolt. No other mark could be found on the animal.
 Building Lines Again
 Building lines on Goodwin street again caused lively tilt between the city council and Judge William J. Malone. who commented at two previous meetings of the city board on the building proposition, when the judge appeared last night rep resenting John Carlson and William J. Fries, in protest against the coun- cils layout on Goodwin street and Newell road.
 After prefacing his remarks by saying he knew that the council had ,olay building lines and that the board did everything possible to be fair to everyone, Judge Malone said hat even if the council had the right to lay the lines, it should not have the benefits equal the damages m every case. He said that in Mir. CarIsons case, a cut of 12 feet was scheduled which made a serious nroad upon the property.
 Councilman Frank w. Dutton of he street committee said that the building line had been discussed al he request of the hospital authori- ies so that the right of the new hospital being erected in that sec ion might be protected.
 Judge Malone replied that he vas a hospital director but evident V the building matter had been akcn up at some meeting when he lad been absent, as he knew noth- i ng about il.
 He also declared that if it would l
