Wnntn Cltr Council in Amend the
Ordinance.
The Board of Education lield a special
iOfslcm yesterday for the purpose of discus-
ilng the city fire escape ordinance relative
o the public school buildings. The mean-
> ors present expressed themselves aa op-
> osed to erecting fire escapes on the school
mlldlngs and after thoroughly discussing
ho matter , It was decided to ask the city
council to amend the ordinance so as not to
ncludo the public echool buildings.
President Slma explained that If the city
nslEicdi on enforcing the provisions of the
measure It would bo necessary to erect
eighteen fire escapes on the Washington
avenue school and the number on the other
mlldlngs would range from twelve to two.
lo estimated that the expense of putting up
hcao escapes would bo about $20,000.
iMomber Cooper , chairman of the conunlt-
eo on buildings and grounds , e-ild ho was
so much opposed to fire escapes on the
schools that ho would go to Jail before lie
would vote to place them on the 'buildings. '
The other members expressed themselves
13 equally opposed. Member Cooper re
ported that a. test had been made on the
Washington avenue building , where the
argcst number of children attended , and
within three minutes after the alarm boll
liad been sounded the school was emptied ,
, ho children marching down the broad stair
ways by rooms , under the guidance of their
teachers.
It was decided tfiat the members of
tha board should appear before the city
council nt Its meeting Monday night and
request that the ordlnanco bo amended seas
as to exclude the school buildings from Its
provisions.
Chairman Henry pf the teachers' com
mittee reported that Miss Anna B. Landon
had resigned from the Washington avenue
school on account of 111 health and that Miss
Ada Stepbenson had Ibeen elected ) to fill the
vacancy , her salary toeing fixed at $35. He
also called attention to the fact that no
provision had been mads for the salaries of
ss Greco Ament , Miss Belle Wyllo and
Miss' Harriet Walker , kindergarten assist
ants and , OD his recommendation , that ot
the first two were fixed at $35 and Mlsa
Walker'a at $20. The salary ot Mlsa Anna
Van Der Cook was Increased1 from $60 to
$65 , Bho having been assigned to the seventh
Instead of the sixth grade , owing to the In
creased' number ot puplla In the latter grade.
It "had " been reported to the /board / that the
contractor was using twelve feet Instead ol
fourteen feet stringers In the construction
of the new echool building at Cut Off and
Supervisor Brewlck was Instructed to secure
a copy of the specifications and sso that the
contractor complied with them.
After transacting some other minor busi
ness the board adjourned.
COUNCIL BLUFFS TUB WINNER
Home Team Taken n Gnmc from
Glenwood rrltb Little Trouble.
The first foot ball game of the season Sat
urday afternoon at thd Driving Park between
tweon the elevens of the Council Bluffs and
Glenwood High schools resulted In a decided
victory for the homo team by a score o
22 to 15. The visitors were heavier than the
homo boys , tout the latter outplayed them
at every point after they had gotten wel
warmed up. Glenwood was weak in Its goa
kicking , and although three touchdowns
were marked to its credit it failed every
time to send the pigskin between the post
and over the bar. At the outsat of the ganu
Glenwood had everything Its own way and it
looked ns if the Council Bluffs' were out
matched , and the first half ended wlti the
score 10 to 5 In favor of the visitors.
In the second half the Bluffs boys pulled
themselves together and soon had their
opponents on the run. In the early part of
the second half Kettrlng , ploying right end
for the Bluffs , lad the misfortune to break
his collar bone nnd Grason was taken from
left tackle to fill his
place. Mayne , one of
the substitutes , filled Grason's place. In
the first half Frank Gay , the homo team's
coach , umpired , but the visitors objected and
ho waa withdrawn and Dr. V. L. Treynor
acted In his stead. The line-up follows :
