Tallis led the opposition party and according to his own statement, he will reas- sert himself vigorously this evening. Since the vote was passed. Mir.

This was lacking on the last vote. two votes of the required number not being received. In spite of this fact dance was held in the school house on Saturday. March 5, and which Tallis claims was in violation of the existing sta ute.
 Another point, Tn which the school district has violated the provisions of the city charter. was brought out today and that is the fact that they have failed to have a police officer present at their public functions. for which admission has been charged at the door. The police department stated that 1t had never received request 10 have an officer furnished, In spite Of the fact that the dances have been held for the past several months.
