Hess was unani mously elected president. The former presi dent, S. F. Henry, and J. J. Stewart and J. K. Cooper stepped down and out and tho nowly-elected directors, T. J. Shugart, W. S. Cooper and S. S. Keller, took their seats after being sworn In. President Hess announced these standing committees: Teachers and Hulcs-Sargent and Macrne. Finance and Accounts Keller and Swalne. Janitors and Hupollcs Swalne and 8hu- eart icxi hooks Macrae and cooper. Fuel nnd Heating Bhugart and Keller. Buildings and Grounds Cooocr and Sar gent. The first business transacted by tho new board was to re-elect Prof. V. N. Clifford superintendent of tho city schools and Prof. C. Ensign principal of the High school for tho ensuing year. The following resolution, submitted by a commltteo from tho local Typographical union, was presented: Uesolvcd, That It Is the renso of tho Board of Education that thero Is no objection to having the label of the Typographical union placed on- tho reports nnd printed matter of tno nouru intemtca (or general distribution and that tho labol bo reaulred In all future coutructs fur printing and printed matter purcnascu d- mc ooaru. Some of the members questioned tho right of tho board to adopt sueh a resolution, and on motion of Momber Swalne the reso lution was reforred to tho committee on text books to socurc a legal opinion and roport at the next meeting. Tho contract for wiring the new High school building for electric lighting was awarded to Israel Lovctt on his bid of $13. Among tho bills allowed was one for $28 for disinfecting tho Avenue B school and ono tor $35 for disinfecting tho, North Eighth street school. J. J. Stewart, ono of tho retiring directors, presented a bill tor $160 for attorney fees In defending tho district In the suit brought by I,. C. Smith to recover the cost of a ventilating fan placed some threo years ago In the old High school building. The bill was referred to the finance commltto). The Judges and clerks who acted at the recent school election wero ordered paid $5 each. . Omaha Hoards a Model. At tho last meeting of tho board It was decided to place composition blackboards In the now High school building, but several of the members are now in favor of using the natural slate boards, such as are being in stalled In 'the new schools In Omaha. A representative of a firm dealing In natural slate blackboards addressed the board oa the subject. From the discussion that fol lowed the board will evidently rescind Its previous action when tho matter comes up at tho next meeting. Member Sargent said that be and Superintendent Clifford had measured the spaco required for black boards In the new high school and that It only amounted to 2.400 square feet, 'which was about 2,000 square feet less than first estimated. After the routtno business had been dis posed of President Hess called attention to a number of mattera that tho different committees would have to attend to at once. Krsrea Quick. Insurance. With regard to the Insuring of the scho'dl buildings as authorized by the vote of the people at the recent election, he suggested that this ought to bo attended to without any delay, as It a bulldlnj; should bo burned down btfore It Is the board would bo cen sured. He read a. list showing tho esti mated values of tho different school build ings as follows: New High school, $40,000; old High hcbool, $)0,000; Washington ave nue, ItO.OOO; nioomer, $40,000; Twentieth avenue,. $35,000; Third street, Tierce street, North Eighth streot, Avenue B and Second avenue, $15,000 each; Thirty-second street, $8,000; Harrison street, $8,000; Madison avonue, $7,000; Eighth avenue, $8,000; Cut Off. $1,800; Woodbury, $800; Qunn, $700; Clark, $'i00. No action was taken In the matter, al though several members expressed the opinion that the proportion of Insurance carried on the schools remotest from Are protection should be larger than that on the buildings centrally situated. The com mltteo op buildings and grounds will rec ommend at the next meeting 'the amount of Insurance to be carried. Regarding the furnishing of tho new High school. President Hess recommended that It be furnished throughout with now suats, desks nnd the other necessary equipment. Free Text Hooks. Calling attention, to the free text books voted for by the people, he suggested that the finance committee look Into tho mat ter and make the necessary arrangements to provide the funds for establishing tho system, The president said the people had an erroneous Idea that the free books were to be distributed right away, but this could not bo done until the necessisry funds wero In sight. He thought that some of the books might he provided at the opening of the next school year, In September. To tho committee on buildings and grounds ho suggested that It take the neces sary steps to dispose of the school prop crty authorized by tho vote ot the people and Instructed the committee to Investigate the district's titles to the property to be sold and to report at tho next meeting.

Hailrb'ad property Is bo differ ent from other Vroierty that It cnAt be treated allko. Thd'whple theory of attempt ing to arrive at the value of railroad prop- erty by a computation with regard to mar ket price of stocks and bonds Is fallacious. Tho value of stocks represents a great deal else than the railroad property which Is assessable. Ho also drew u flue distinction between value and, coat. Ho asked that the as sessment on the Milwaukee be not. In creased over last year, and asked only fair treatment. J. H. Daniels, for the Omahn Drldge and Terminal railway, explained In a fow words the situation with regard to that company. K. C. Hubbell, for tho Des Moines Union railway, asked thai It b taxed on a mileage basis the same as other roads. Mr. Woodruff, for the Great West ern, presented nn Interesting argument on the whole question of taxation. Ho con tended that railroad property Is assessed as high as other property In tho state and already bears Its full share of the bur dens. Tho Union Pacific asked for a re ductlon of its assessment by $100,000 on its mileage In Council Bluffs. The actual value of tho property was shown ta be $(63,000, and It has been asseshod for more than $200,000.
