Tho action of tho board at the meetlnir 1 Friday afternoon, when It decided not to lend any assistance to enable tho electors of the district to express their preferences nftor It had previously voted to permit It, was tno suDject of mucn discussion nnd crit icism yesterday. Tho refusal of tho board to permit the socretnry to Bupply tho extra ballot boxes necessary for tho ballots nnd thus mako tho voto what might bo termed a scml-ofllclal one, It Is hollered will do much toward rendering whatever voto may bo cast practically of no worth as an ox- presslon of the people.

IL lltJ feels so Inclined, as there Is no law whereby ho could bo punished for such au act. It was reported on .tho streets yesterday thnt those who favored locating tho school west of Main street and South Broadway would refrain from voting at all on the proposition on the ground that whatever might be the result. It would have no effect on tho futuro actions of the board. Dy re fraining from voting, thoy believe, It Is said. they will kill tho whole matter, ns If only those who favor the Oakland avenuo site vote, their votes cannot be claimed to bo an expression of tho clectors-at-Iarge. President Sims of the Hoard of Education, who from tho first has been steadfastly In favor of submitting the question to the peo plo for nn expression, snld yesterday: "The action of the board Friday afternoon is to bo greatly regretted. In my opinion It will practically mako tho vote cast on tho prop ositions tomorrow worthless. Of course It mny turn out that a largo majority ot tho voters will also cast their ballots In favor of one of tho sites, when, If this will bo tho case, It cannot bo taken In any other wny than ns an expression of tho people's wishes. In my precinct I Intond to see to It that tho voters havo every opportunity to express their preferences nnd that their votes shall ho properly counted. I have hopes that enough of the members will do tho same, so that the voters In every precinct can havo an opportunity to express their senti ments on this nil-Important question."
