"..,! . . . ...... monthly meeting last night reaffirmed Its ao- tlon In selecting tho Oakland avenue tract as the site for tho new High school and decided that it would have to go Into thc trial of the appeal before the county superintendent without the hervlccs of nn attorney. I The matter of nmnlnvlmr nn .ltnrn I suggested by President Henry, but Member Stewart ca led attention to the fact that the tl..nilnn l.....i u .. f tit. 41. district court restrained tho board from I incurring any expense whatsoever In connec- tlon with the Oakland avenue site. Stewart gave It as his opinion that tho board In, Incurring expense by securing legal aid at tho hearing of tho appeal would ba vlolat ing the conditions of thc injunction. At tho opening of the session Member Cooper Introduced the following resolution: Whereas. In April. ISM), the Hoard of Di rectors of the Independent school district of Council HlulTs. la., selected as the site for th5 proposed new high school of said dis trict what Is known as tho Oakland Avenue site, nnd Whereas, I pnn appeal from the action or tho board Hon. R. C. Harrett. superin tendent of public Instruction, reversed the Action or said Hoard, and Whereas. Since the action of said superin tendent of public Instruction the matter of location of said high school site has been carefully canvassed by said board, for the purpose ot selecting tne most centrally lo cated site, and Whereas, At the last nnnual school elec tion of said district the electors thereof voted unon tne uuestlnn of the location of said site, the result of which vote Is as fol lows: Totfll votes cast at said election 3,914 Total vote cast upon question of sohool slto 3,012 For Oakland site l,3t'.'J For old high school site 73I For n site south of Broadway and west of Main street S9D And, Whereas, Since the action of said board In selecting said Oakland Avenue site In April, IsW, there has. been a material change In the population of the district and the population haw Increased In the neigh borhood of tho Oakland Avenue site and the territory adjacent thereto, nnd taking Into consideration the number and con venience of the scholnrs In said district, the location of said high school upon said Oak laud Avenue site Is as centrally located as In the Judgment nf tho board1 Is liosslble. Therefore, be It Resolved, Hy the board of directors of thc Independent School District of Council Hluffs. la., 'Phut tho Oakland Avenuo site Is, In Its Judgment, the most central site posslblo for the location of the proposed new high school, for this district, and that tho action of this board at Its meeting held April 0, 1000. In selecting said site for said high school, bo approved and ratllled. and that said Oakland Avenue site Is hereby so lected as the slto for the proposed new high Hchnol for this district, nnd that this ac tion is not taken In detlance of the ruling of the state superintendent, but In com pliance with his view of the law and for tho best Interests of the people of this dls- inei ami ine puirons oi nam sciioni. Somo of tho members took exception to ..,,.,nh i,, ,. . 'J " tho paragraph referring to tho increased population ami after thin had been stricken out tho resolution was adopted, President Henry alone voting against It. Then ns a gentle hint to tho board to keep a stiff front and not recede from Kb posi tion on the cvo of the hearing of the np peal, tho following petition, signed by 125 representative citizens and taxpayers, was presented: To the Hoard of Directum of tho Inde pendent School District of Council Hluffs. la.: Gentlemen At the last meeting of your 'honorable, body a communication was pre sented concerning your action In locating the proposed high school upon what Is known .is tho Oakland Avenue site, and In asmuch as that communication not only abounds with error in to the ruling of the superintendent of public Instruction, but In our Judgment Is Impertinent, and as tho right to litigate these matters does, not rest exclusively with the gentlemen signing said communication, for them to so assume nnd by Hiuii threats attempt to direct and con trol tho action of your honorable body un der the pretense, of desiring harmony, Is ridiculous. We therefore respectfully call nttentlon to tho fact that nil opposition to your previous action has emanated from the same source-. Ami we deslro further to respectfully call attention to tun tact that a plurality of the vote at tho last echool election was largely In favor of tho Oakland Av'enuo slti, and further that within the last six months, as shown by tho registration of voters, a greater num. brr of persons have moved Into the district Immediately adjacent and tributary to said Oakland" Avenuo site,', than to any other portion of the city. We, who are also taxpayers and school pitrmx within said dlstrb I. repei tfttlty re , rtn st voir bnnomhlr body for ourselves I .lt d man others Inti rested with us to re tain the slip as It Is, In our judgment, the most central!) loi.itprl of all tin- proponed ' wllnrf mid iil'iillillilp rttul ,-nn vntllelit to tin whole school population of the district. n VCW ( i10 mioptlon of tho Cooper teso- 1,l,lnn " ,'oclilpi1 thiU no cllo the petition was necessary and It was ordered placed on file.

The lown weather ond crop service bulle tin Issued today says: "The week ending Monday was warmer than usual, the dally excess of temperature running from four to eight degrees. During the last three days the heat was Intensified by high southerly winds and 100 per cent of sunshine, causing very rapid evaporation of the moisture sup plied by the showers of the early part of tho week. In portions of the northwest and west central districts rain Is much needed. Tho conditions havo been generally favorable for planting corn, nnd in the southern and central sections thnt work is nearly completed, under very fnvorablo conditions for rapid gervntnatloh. In the northern section planting Is well advanced and a few days of dry weather will be suffi cient to finish It'. Reports Indicate that germination has been fairly good In early planted fields, tnd In numerous localities cultivation is in progress. "On the whole a very 'large corn acreage Is likely to bo planted somewhat In advance of tho average season. Oats, spring wheat, barley nnd grass are doing notably well In nearly all parts of tho state.
