HIGH SCI100L SITE REFERRED
Board of Education Will Consider Question
in Committee of the Whole.
ACTION IS TAKEN AFTER FIVE BALLOTS
Member * ITnnblo to Decide the Mo-
mcntotiH Mnttcr nnd Therefore
Tut Off the Kvll liny nn
UN POHKllllc.
At the regular monthly meeting of the
Board of Education Monday night the mat
ter of the selection of a site for the proposed
new High school building was referred to
the committee of the whole. This action
wsa taken after five ballots on the selection
of a site had been taken and no choice
made.
The matter wai brought up under the
head of new business by Member Cooper ,
who moved that the board proceed to ballot
on the selection of a site. Henry seconded
the motion and It carried , Sims and Stew
art voting against It. Member Swaloo was
not present and the bills for the previous
month were disposed of while waiting for
bin arrival.
Before the first ballot was taken Presi
dent Sims suggested that In his opinion
the best way to settle the question of the
slto would ( bo to submit the choice of lo
cality to the people and that the board call
a special election three weeks from date
for that purpose. Ho said ho would bo
compelled to vote for the Oakland avenue-
slto and ho had been reliably informed that
no matter what site the board selected at
that meeting that an appeal would bo taken
before sunset the next day. In his opinion
tha board , ho said , ought to get together
on the matter. While the law prohibited
the exact location of the school being des
ignated by the people thcro was nothing
to prevent a special election toeing held
and the people asked to state their prefer
ence as to the portion of the city the site
should bo chosen In.
Henry Insisted that the majority of the
people of the city wanted the school lo
cated south of Broadway and west of Main
street and objected to any further changes.
Ho said ho was in favor of .balloting right
there and then for n site.
.Mooro wanted to know If they had to get
rid of the Oakland slto , but as that la a
question which the courts will have to de
termine , no BO of the members cared to ex
press an opinion.
Seeing that the majority of the members
were determined to ballot on the selection
of a site , President Sircm appointed Moore
and Cooper tellers. The first ballot gave
Oakland avenue tract three votes , Ayles-
worth property , ono vote ; Brown property
at Fifth avenue and Seventh street , one
vote and the Balfard property next the
Orand hotel , ono voto.
Tha second ballot the Oakland avenue
elto still had three votes ; Street tract , ono ;
Ballard property , one , while the Aylesworth
property got two votes. At this point
Stewart moved to adjourn , but tbo motion
failed to carry.
On the third ballot the Oakland avenue
and Aylesworth oltes each polled three votes
and the Ballard property ono. The fifth
ballot gave Oakland avenue two , Ayles
worth property two , Fifth avenue and
Seventh strcoc slto ono and the Ballard
property two.
Oncntloii IH Referred.
It was then that Stewart's motion to re
fer to committee of the whofe carried. In
making his motion Stewart suggested that
the members of the board get together and
Investigate all the sites offered and other
sites that might bo secured , If not by pur
chase , by condemnation. Ho favored the
Oakland avenue Kite , but was willing to
forego his preference If the board could
make a selection that would bo acceptable
to the peoplo. It did not matter , ho said ,
what slto they might select at this meet
ing , but an appeal would be taken at once.
This , ho said , ho knew to bo the case , as
the papers were already to be filed nnd the
oelectlon of a site fast night would only
result In further litigation and tying the
whole matter up again for an Indefinite
period.
Contractor WIckham presented a bill of
$275 , partial estimate on the grading done
by him. on the Oakland avenue slto , but
with the exception of the president all the
members were afraid to tackle It and It
was finally laid aside without any
action being taken. President Sims at
tached his "O. K. " to the bill , stating that
on Aprir 17 bo had been authorized by a
resolution of the .board to enter into a con
tract with WIckhara for the grading If ho
woa satisfied that the title to the Oakland
property was good. Cooper said ho was
afraid If they allowed the bill It might betaken
taken ito construe 'that ' the board admitted
the purchase of the property.
The matter of reinsuring tbo boilers in
the different buildings was , after consider
able dtscuEsIon , referred to the chairman
of the committees on fuel and heating and
buildings and grounds. The boilers have
been insured for | 30,000 with the Hartford
Steam Boiler and Inspection company. The
rate was | 300 for three years and the mat
ter came up on the agent of the company
proposing to renew the Insurance at the
same rate for another ithreo yeara. The
policies expire on the 28th of this month.
Stewart opposed reinsuring , but Henry and
More advocated It , believing , they said , that
the Inspection of the boilers by the com
pany atone was worth the money. The
safety and protection of 'tho children , they
Insisted , demanded that the boilers be in
sured and Inspected by capable parties.
Dillon Rets was re-elected secretary ot
the * oard by acclamation and his salary
fixed nt $300 per annum as before.

The report of Treasurer Davli , accom
panied by a certified check on , the Flrat Na
tional bank for $06,316.51 , the amount of
cash In the different funds In his bands , was
referred to the finance committee.
'A notice calling the board's attention to
the fcew dire escape ordinance recently
passd by the city council was referred to
tbo committee on bulldlngo and grounds.
The Janitor at the Twentieth avenue
school complained that the plgeona were In
juring tl-e roof and cornice of the building
and he was given authority to shoot or oth
erwise gel rid of them.
To fill the vacancies caused by the resigna
tion of Member Stewart , President 81ms an
nounced tbo appointment of Henry as chair
man of finance committee and Swalne as
second member on the committee on text
books ,
At the op ntng of the session after the
secretary bad read the mluutca Member
Stewart moved that the records relating to
the t-ro special meetings held during his
absence from the city and at which the ac
tion restoring the salaries of the principals
wag taken bo rejected. He claimed that ho
had received no notice of the calling of the
meetings , but Secretary Ttoas etated that he
had personally left the notices at hlg office.
Hiu motion failed to carry.
The enumeration of the school district un
der the direction of the secretary , gave 6,199
children of school age.

The last crop report of the season to be
dssuod by the Iowa weather and crop service
carao out this evening. It summarizes con
ditions as follows :
The average temperature of the last week ,
was about normal. Light frosts were ob
served In numerous exposed localities on
two or three mornings , but no damage to
ciops has been reported. The "amount of
rainfall waq llsht and unequally dis
tributed. The weather conditions have
been favorable for cutting corn and more
than the usual amount of fodder Is being
saved by that method In sections where the
hay crop was light. The corn crop Is now
practically assured In alt parts of the state ,
though in some sections a portion of the
late planting would bo materially helped
by aweek or two of good ripening
weather. As a whoJe the crop is satisfac
tory and more likely to exceed than , to fall
short of a normal yield.
The dry weather that has "hurried " the
corn crop beyond danger has "been " severe
upon pasturage , necessitating feeding stock
in some sections and lessening- the supply
of milk. It has also hindered fall plowing
and seeding1.
Farmers nre generally well advanced
with their -work except plowing and for
that general and copious rains are needed.
The winter apple < orop Is now well ma
tured though very 'llg-ht. The llax crop is
peed In yield though small In area. This
will close the series , of weekly -bulletins
for tha season of 1SD3. The final report on
yield , prices , etc. , will be Issued about De
cember 1.

anil Queens , says the New York Sun , a de
partment school of Instruction has teen
started In Brooklyn on tbo same linen as
the ono In this borough , of which every offi
cer and fireman has to ba a graduate. Aa
ouch they are entitled to a certificate of
membeieblp In the life saving : irps
The time rorriirrtJ for the making of an
expert fireman baa usually been about thirty
days. The Brooklyn school , however , will
not have raw material to deal with , as the
actual experience of the firemen of the
Brooklyn and. Queens forces will count for a
good deal , Only about two weels at the
school will bo needful to lit the men for
graduation to the ranks of expert life
savors.
There are about 1.100 rncmbera of the flro
department In the two boroimhs who will go
through the school , whhli Is lu charge of
Chief Instructor McAdams. With few ex
ceptions the mon have applied of their onn
accord for admittance to the school for a
course of two weeks flnd those who have not
applied will be asked to take a few lessons
under the instructor.
Tha class room of the school is the yard of
the Brooklyn headquarters building , A
spare flro engine haa been placed there , to
gether with all the appliances for saving
llfo , and In the practice tbo headquarters
building U tbo one supposed to bo on fire.
The first class In the new school Is com
posed of two officers and twenty-two fire
men , taken from as many different com
panion throughout tbo two boroughs , Cap
tain Marcus Fitzgerald , commander of the
flro boat David A. Boody , and Lieutenant
John Far roll are the two officers of the tlafs.
Yesterday the men were Instructed In the
proper method of carrying a line of hose up
a building and In using a ( stream of water
to get the bebt results. The course also in
cludes instruction in tbo use of the life net
and bcallng ladders. The men appear to
be doalroua of getting through the school , as
their chances for promotion are conbldurably
bettered by It.

utealthy , insidious , and
conic as a thief in the
night.
Six percent of the daily
deaths nro due to con

the disease- suggests the
horror of emaciation , the
labored breathing , the
hectic color , the night-
sweats which mark the t ,
struggles of the daily
weakening victim.
