Two Tcnchors Itosign. The board of control was In session two hours nnd a half last night and nniong the mnny things It did during thW lone winded session was to open, bids for supplies, borrow $30,000 to pay estimates now due, and appoint Con troller Notz Janitor of No. 10 building. This Inst named action caused no end of discussion and was fur from being unanimous, discourteous as It may ap pear. The person recommended for tho position wus Mls Bertha Notz, daugh ter of the controller. Messrs. Welsh nnd Wormser opposed her appointment on tho ground that It would bo unwiso to appoint a woman Janitor at a build ing where thero St a .team heating paint. They said thev would Ijb per fectly willing to vote Mr. Notr tho appointment but they could not sec their way clear to '. vor giving the position to a woman. Mr. Notz very frankly '(ttod that he was to be the Janitor or the build inn when his term xplres a few months hence and that he would see lo It Hint the work would bo properly done In the meantime If his daughter wus given the position. Ho said ho would have himself duly Installed In the Job at present hut this would necessi tate his resigning from the board He hoped the members would not force . vn to do this as ho would feel that tl V were desirous of getting rid of him. ' Mr. Gibbons came to the rescue of his colleague with a personal guaran tee that the work would be properly attended to If Miss Notz was given the appointment. He would not want to force Mr. Notz to resign before his term was over as that would give verification to the newspaper stories that the board was willing to give Mr. Notz the ap pointment to get rid of htm. MR. AVORMSER'S POSITION. Mr. "Wormser said the board would no doubt unanimously vote the posi tion to Mr, Notz but he for one would not favor giving It to a woman, be cause the board never made a practice of appointing a woman Janitor In a building containing u steam heating plant. Mr. Gibbons moved to adopt the build ing committee's recommendation that Miss Notz be given the position nt a Hilary of JCo a mouth. Mr. "Welsh moved an amendment that tho name of Herman Notz be) substituted Mr. Gibbons moved to lay the amendment on tho table. This carried and the building committee's recommendation was then approved by the following vote: Ayes Messrs. Shires, Francois, O'Mal ley, Davis, Carson, Casey, Devanney, Conrad, Walsh, Jacobs, Schrlefcr, Bark er, Notz, Gibbons. Jennings 15. Nays Messrs. Wormser, Welsh, Schaef or, Williams, Langan 5. Absent Mr. Langstan. Hills amounting to $31,497.00 charg eable to this year's acocunts were passed last night and at the meeting previous and as they are nearly all for estimates on new buildings, debts which cannot be put off, tho board de cided to borrow enough to square the accounts and at President Jennings' suggestion the finance committee was empowered to negotiate a loan with one of the banks which, he explained, can be paid hack when the delayed taxes of this year commence to come In. At the last meeting of the board bids were received for furnishing win dow shades and rubber-matting for buildings Nos. 10 and 23. The bid of Slebecker & Watklns, which was the lowest on both items, provided only for one-third of the necessary amount of matting required, the clerk who mado out the bid figuring on lineal feet In stead of yards. Tho building com mittee, to which the proposals were re ferred, did not like to take the respon sibility of acting on this bid although th firm In a letter called attention to tho miscalculations and rectified t error, so it laid the matter before tl. board After a lengthy discussion It was decided that It would not be un fair to the other bidders to accept Sle becker & Watklns' corrected proposal and they were given the contract. SEVERAL RESIGNATIONS. There was another discussion, or rather scolding match, provoked by the discovery that a couple of resignations had been In the hands of the board for pome time and that no meeting of the teachers committee had been called to act upon them. Mr. Gibbons, vho In a member of the committee, Intimated that the chairman, Mr. Carson, was not illve to his duty and by his laxity was permitting the superintendent and a few others to run tho district. He was me ember of the teachers committee when there was work for the com mittee to do he wanted to have a hand in performing it Mr. Carson assured him that he knew nothing of the resig nations until that time and would cer tainly not hesitate for a minute to call the committee together if he had oc casion for so doing. Mr. Gibbons thought it was odd that no meeting of the committee had been held In several months and favored holding stated monthly meetings. The matter died out, however, without any deflflnlte action being taken. During tho course of the discussion Mr. Casey persisted In Interrupting Mr. Glb'bons and finally when exasperated beyond endurance by Mr. Casey pound ing his desk to drown Mr. Gibbons' voice the latter squelched the gentle man from the Sixth by remarking In a cool Ironical tone "I am sorry to pay such a thing to a fellow member, but It would be better if Mr. Casey would stay home with his d bad manners." Mr. Casey subsided. The resignations wero from Miss Ida Cahoon, of No, 21, nnd'MUs Helen Hurl hurt, of No. 28, They were accepted end the filling of the vacancies was left to tho teachers' committee. Mr. Jacobs presented a petition sign ed by fifty of tho most prominent resi dents of Green nidge, asking the board to establish a fres kindergarten In that portion of the city, calling attention, In an accompanying communication to the act of April U, 1M7, authorizing school boards to expend money for such a purpose. A motion waa offered to re. fer tho matter to the teachers commit tee, but Mr, Wormser jald "What's the uso? W can't do It, we haven't ot the money, and the most honorable thing to do In to tell these peopU so now." Tho secretary was Instructs to tell the petitioners that their rciiucst could not bo granted owing to the lack of any appropriation for that purpose. The syslcin of nccountn plnnned bv John Proud, for keeping monthly tab on finance! nnd supplies and for show ing Just what It costs to run each building every month, was expl lined by Secretary Fellows and submitted to the board for approval. It was decid ed to give It personal Investigation be fore formally adopting It. Tho appointment of Anthony Scan Ion to succeed Dennis Tlerney as col lector of delinquent taxes for the Sev enth and Eighth wards, was approved. BIDS FOR SUPPLIES.
