Bweeney aaked what legal expenscs meant. Ile was given to anderstand that what lceal services the Board necded could bo fur- nished by the Clty Law Deoartment. Ald. Pearnons sald that the ltem was neces- sary to procors_abstracts and somectimes exira legal talgnt, There had been an organized at- tempt td put down the High-School. Board was composed of fifteen tnen, whom he touk to be honorable. They wero taxpayers, and had the fntereat of the achools and the city at heart. Answering a former questfon, Ald, Pear- Bons said that the bslanco to tho credit of the school-tax fund was $103,000, and yet there was no eash on hand for the schoals. * If the Board should come before the Council and recommend thut the High-Schools be turned futo grammar or primary schoals, hie would voto for It, hut he thought the overtures shontd come from them, Ald.

Pearsons sald that they would do right in doing so. The datfes of the Board were to locate the schools and fix tho payof tho toach- ers. The Council could not govern or alter thess matters at all. ‘Ald. Whitn snld that there ought to bo enough talent In the Gity Law Department to do the businces of the Board. Ald. Pearsons kaid the ftem was to bo used for legal cxpenaes in_commencing and continu- Ing thio cnaes for the Bosrd, 1d. White naid that the same power which created the Board could abolish it, 1le was sure that the Board could bLe cut off, and ho thought that it would have to be done If tha joard kept on. 2 Ald Cullerton thought that tho fucl ftem was still under consideration. In viow of this fact o wished to call attention to tne fact thattho cxpenses for fuel fo tho year 1875-1878 was 14,000, Ald.

Stewart moved to strike out ‘presont corps of Agreed to, “Aldl. MeAuley asked why the amount of fn- comne was reduced from last year. Ald, Cullerton sald the amount rceelved by the State from taxable property had been re- duced. Last year the amourt appropriated for salarlcs was $480,000. Ald. Schwelsthal moved to ‘strike out about 860,000 for High-8chool salariés—to reduce from $618,650 to $400,000. Ald. Rawleizh was opposed, If tha teachers would hove to walt for thelr money, and to suvmit to a discount on warrants, they should get thoe same pay as last year, Ald, Schwelsthal made his amendment for the purpose of getting rid of fancy studics. Ho didn't want the salarfes of teachers cut down,’ but wanted the greatest number of chiidren ac- commodated. Tho High-School bulldings shonld boe turned over to primaray scholara, Ald. Cory snid if the Uigh-School salarics wera cut out, and the rooms given up to small children, no allowsnce, under Schwelsthal's motion, would ba mude for toachiog them. A, Behwelsthal modified his motion 8o as to make the amaount £450,000. Ald, Bweenoy advocated the dropping out of the High-Schools altorether, in order that the little children mighe have a chance to go to achool. We should not make mank and asses of children. When taught musio and drawing, thoy didn’t know which cud went first, [Laughter.] Ald. Stewart sald the younz shonld be In hool and not on tho strects, Ie also was op- osed to the High-8chool, since the clty was not le to give fnstruction {n the higher branches. ‘The money should be used {n fitting up two or three mord common schools. * Ald. Cullerton was opposed to the motlon becauso it would not cover the point. The only wav to reach tho point was appropriate & given sum tor the support of tho school syatem, and then add, *Of which sumn do part shall be used fur the support of High-8chools.” Ald. Waldo asked if the Council had any rlght to dictate to the Board what 1t should do with the money appropriated to It. Ald, Cullerton said that ho_thought that the Councll had such n right. The lntontion ap- peared to be to discouraze High-8chools, but the speaker was sure that the course belug pur- sued would not effect the purpose destuned. Alg, Pearsons nsked what had become of the found of 8103,000 left fron tho levy of 1875, Ald, Cullerton sald that was what he wanted to find out from the Fluance Committeo. Ald. McAuloy sald that ho did not think {t wras possible to prevent tho Roard {rom keoplng up tho High-Bchool i thiey wanted to, ~ le thougcht, however, that $450,000 was caough, "Ald. Throop sald that the unoxpended bal- ances wero lndecd unexponded, and would bo for the next geueratfon. About $100,000 had Leen wiped out yesterday; the Supreme Court had somo more of those unexpended balances. The city would nover sce 10 per cont of the wholo sum, A part of them were in Unnada, and a part of them in some other people's vuckets. He was surry to sce so mnuch wranglo oves the High-School, ¥ Ald, Cary said that the Board could carry on the achools next year for the samo suro as Jast yoar, only upon condltion that the naw scliools suould be abandoucd or the salurles cut down. To_be sure, tho school-ma'ams had no vote, and ic therofore showed a degree of cournge on the part of Ald. McAuley to cut them down at tho samo timo that thio policomon aud firemen wero kept itp as high as last yoar, Ald, McAuiey sald that be would be in favor of cutting down the salarfcs of sucn teachers as Rot over, #100per vear. Ald. Tully moved to make the sum $450,000, It did notacom necessary to him to hiava s High- Behool. It did not sequs right to aak the Council to go on whilo there was solarge un unexpunded balunco on the books. 'Cng School Board should - b reduced to 8 proper llmit, There woro n nfimbcr of supernumerarics who should bo cut off. Ald. Beldlor moved as s substitute that the sum be 000, Ald. Lawlor was resdy to turn the High Schools tuto primarics. Jt 8150 por day wus enough for people whd“went down Into tha sowers, then $2.50 was enough for people who wore dry, Al Beldlor's motlon was lost, Ald, Schwelathal's motion, to make the sum 000, was lost, Ald. Cullerton wanted noe further action taken until an opinton of somelhonest and capa. ble lawyercould behad, He dellvered lis best speech of the year un the conduct of John M. Hountree, for whoso bencit ho spared no epithots, the fact being, be sald, that Rountres, while County Attorney, advisod the Couuty Hoard that tho 20 ver cent addition was legal, and then, a short timo after, turned up fu court #s°an sttorney clatming that the action which he lnrmerl{ advisod was Ulezal, Culler toun was aprarently never 8o avgry, aud cestain- 1y never so forcible. » The question was then taken on ‘Tully's mos tion—1o taake the sum $450.000—with the addi- tlon of Alil. Cuilerton's amendment—"*That no art of this sum be uscd for the payment of fumen lu High-Schools,” Lost by 18 to 14, . Ald, Cary woved thst tho jtom be adopted ns feported. . Ald. Stewart moved that the following worda Do added: ** Provided that the High-8chools be suspendad temporarily, and comuou-school teachers and brauches substituted, except so far as to comply with existiog contracts.” ‘Ald. Thompson (Thirteentb) -thouzht that this was tho wrvug place w striku the blow, Ho'was not n favor of nbfllllhlufi the High- Behool. It was the wrong place to begin econo- :‘y. The Fiuance Camnnitiee had ouly exveed- the amount for last year by a few thousand dollars. Ald. Cook had boen somowhat surprised at the turn the deoate Liad taken. ‘The Alderinen from the Bixth sud Beventecots Wards Lad teen then attemptiog to get wdditional facli- ties for thelr wards and yet were now cutting down the sum. Ho remémbered tho time when tho High-Sehool was started, ‘FThere was o Fw“ cinulation amoug the peopls fn the out- J‘lng districts to get (uto the High-School, and 10 succeaful ones werg lu Very jusuy casos the children of the poorer people. * Tous many of the children of the poor had grown up to good positions {u busiuess aud the professions. Ald,"Saumgarten was opposed to the ftem, and also to thfe Nigh-School, for the reason that people were movime in frous the country to geb wchauee t0 sepd thelr children to the Hign. Achool for nothing. Peoplo who wanted s high- er cducatiou should pay forft. He wanted the he Bchool |, m‘c;r chiidren to havo a chance to got somo edu- catlon, All, Throob sald that the cost of the children in the West Division High-Schoo] was $20 each. Ahh Bweeney wanted the children in the Iigh-Behool to go bomo for a vear or two and let tha children of the poor come fn. He thouaht that twenty children could be sdncated In the lower departmenta for’each one (at $20) in the High-School, In these drpressed times it was time to aend the children home. e wanted Lo put the teos of thansands of children now on tha streets loto the High-School. Ald, Cullerton moved thst the Committeo 3 t. Ald, V'aldo thought that it was unfortunste that the name Jligh-School should b applicd to what ias really only the highest grade of the school svatem. 1f the igh-Echool were to ho abolished, it would not bo long bolore the clfhlh grado would he wipad out, and so on un- til the whole achool system was entirely killed. Ald, Tully sald that the great object was fo do away with the High-Echool. He tnoved to do_away with the Centrgl iigh-Scliool in- dennlle‘ljy. Ald. Gilbert moved as an amendment to Ald. Stewart's amendment to suapend tho Highe School far 1878. Carried by 16 to 15,4 Ald. McAuley moved to strike out $518,000, and Insert $100,000. Ruled out of ordor, Ald, Cary's motion was lust, - AliL, McAuley renewred bis motton. Ald, Cullerton moved to rise, Lost. Ald. Cary moved that the sum bo $510,000, Id, Cary’s motlon was carrled, On motion of Al McAuley,” the Committes rosg, rpported progress, sud asked leave to sit agalo. Carrled, Ald, Rawleigh moved that the Counell ad- Journ to 2:90 p. ‘m, to-lay, Ald. Pearsons moved that the hour be 7:80. 0588, Ald. Rawlolgh's motion was carried, and the Council adjourned. i There was considerable discussion us to the cffect of Ald. Btewart and_Gilbert's motlons about ln!remllnx the High-Schhol, and the gen- cral opinion was that ther dropped with the motions then ponding. It makes compuratively little difference, however, since the mattor must bo reviewed fn the Council, whera tho members must go on record by a call of the house. TIE ESTIMATES.

Quinlin also owes $20,000 more, evidenced by the note of Richard M. Hooley, dated Aug. 81, 1872, and secured by a trust-deed to J. C. Halnes on Hooley's Thea- tre.
