this plan no one will be required to

th* tuition will have the opportunity
to do so, and those who do not sare

It will be a matter of great regret to
us to learn that any child has to onit
school because its parents are not able
to pay the tuition, but it is not in our
pewer to prevent this hardship. The
voters alone can make it possible t*
keep the tree term open nine months,
and they must settle this question
on the 22d.

us to ssy that the proposition to be

increase in the total city tax rate. That
rate is now 1250 on the $100, which is
the constitutional limit; hence. It can
not be increased. But It can be differ-

Superintendent Harris reported a
slight decrease In the number of pupils
this year as compared with last year.
The attendance last year was M.S per
cent, while the attendance .this year
was 05.5 per cent. The total enroll-
ment for March, 1901, was 2582 white
pupils as compared to 2000 for March,
1902. The total enrollment of colored
pupils for March, 1901 was 906, as com-
pared with 789 for March, 1902.
The following statement was "pre-
sented by Superintendent Harris as
the views of the board on the question
of the coming election to change the
amount of the school tax:
"To the Patrons of the Public Schools:
"The present situation seems to
make it our duty to make public the
following statement of facts:
“First—Our present course of study
was constructed upon the basis of a
rlne months' session. In other words.
It requires nine months to do the work
laid off for each grade. Hence the
work can not be completed in eight
months.
"Second-elf the tax proposition car-
ries on the 22d of this month, an ar-
rangement can be made to get mo ley
to continue the free schools for nine
months this year.
"Third—If the tax proposition fails
on the 220, then the free term win
close at the end of the eighth month,
which will be on the 9th day of May.
In that case we think it best to cor-
tinae the schools as pay schools for
one month. In order to enable th* pu-

day afternoon at the city hall and used its little hatchet with much
erect The committee decided to report adversely on the ordi-
nance prohibiting minors and students from entering saloons, and
providing a fine of »5 for its violation. The committee also decided
on an unfavorable report on the ordinance providing that not more
than 10,000 pounds of bay shall be placed in one building at a time.
The reason for the action of the committee on this ordinance is that
there is a law of that kind on the city’s statutes. The committee
referred the ordinance providing for the appointment at a weight
and measure tester to the city attorney to draw up a suitable ordi-
nance on the subject Action on the ordinance providing for the
widening of the sidewalks was deferred.
