General Howard sent some dessi- cated vegetables, some of which were used, and they were prononnced bat, and they were thrown aside, and green vegetables are now used again, -Perhaps this gave rise to the report of making two kinds of soup. ‘The annexed table will show the amount of relief extended through the o ms of the soup-house in the Third Ward under my agency: From Jaruary 1 to January 7, 330 loaves of bread furnished, 360 gallons soap fnr- nished, Number of families supolied, 62.

AS to the harge of discrimination as to the quality, that wats false. Mr. A. R.

He thouzht A committee should be appointed to confer with General Howard, and propose to him that the Bureau should take charge of the soup houses Mr. Thomas E.

T. Johnson, T. Baw Clatk, Sub-Board. Mr, Johuson said he signed the report re- lucilantly, as he desired that an examinati be made into the prices of articles on which ductions had been made. He did not think de- ductions should be made according tothe prices that other dealers sold for cash. , As the one who furnished the articles had to wait some jor bis money, he thought it but just. tht he should be allowed good prices and ‘not ha ve his bill cut down to the lowest wholesale prices. In regard to the curtains mentioned in the report, he explained that he gave an order for five curtains which Mr. Shepherd had made, but were found to be too small for the windows. He then reque-ted Mr. Shepherd to change the curtains, but the person who made them refused to do so, and new ones had to be ordered. Those that were too small were now at lus (Mr. Johnson's) house, aud would be placed in some school when required. He de- sired that justice be done to all, and that Mr. Shepherd's bills should not be cut down to the lowest wholesale prices, Mr. Clark said the reductions had been made according to the price list which Mr. Brown, Chairman of the Committee on Accounts, had received from other dealers. He regretted that Mr. Brown was not present, as he could give the full price list. Two other parties in this city bad offered to furnish the charts spokeu of at S16 a set. Dr. Croggon moved that the report be accept. ed, and the commuttee be discharged from fur- ther co: ideration of the same. Mr. Clark said the Committee on Accounts to whom was referred the other billy, with in- structions to arrange for a settlement, were now negotiating with Mr. Shepherd. He thought this bill should also go to the cominittee with the same instructions, as Mr. Shepherd objec to some of the deductions made. Dr. Croggon said there. was no communie tion before the Board from ir. Shephy no notice should be taken of his objections. unless properly brought before the B: Mr. Woodward said Mr. Shepherd acting business with the Committee on Ac. counts, and had laid bis objections before that committee. Dr. Croggon thonght it time to dispose of the bill in some wa; Mr. Tustin thonght the chairman of the (' mittee on Accounts—Mr. Brown—should have attended the meeting or sent bis Teport and the accompanying papers to the bourd. He was not willing to act on the bill before Mr. Brown could be heard from. Mr. Johnson explained that the globe char, was a mistake; an order for one had been given by him, but subsequently countermanded. As 10 the National Dictionary, he had given au order for one, but subsequently swapped it off for several small ones. Mr. Woodward said Mr. Shepherd had fur- nished new bills for the Ist, 2d and ith districts, with all the disputed items left out, leayi: the Ist district bill $146.69; 1.16. As to had been disputed, Mr, Shep. rd bad furnished the committee with a list from Mr. Mobun giving his retail pri such books. Mr. Wilson said Mr. Brown had lists from dealers stating the iowest market price at which they would furnish the sehools with books and other articles, und he thought such lists the Proper basis to make all reductions. ¥. Woodward suggested the new bills, for all things not disputed, be approved. Mr. Wilson thought the Committee on Ac- counts would have the whole 1 settled in a few days, audit would be useless to approve portions of bills now. ‘The motion of Dr. Croggon to accept the re- port of the committee was adopted. Mr. Tustin said he was not prepared to vote until Mr. Brown had reported. That gentle- man should have attended the meeting, or handed the papers over to the board. Mr. Woodward said Mr. Brown and the com- mittee had been hard at work over these bills, and he did not intend to allow the gentle: from the First District (Mr. Tustin) to gi committee any lecture. ‘That gentleman had a lecture for some one every meeting, but he should not lecture the Committee on Acconnts after they had worked faithfully. Mr. Brown had important business, which prevented his attendance at the meeting. Mr. Tustin said he had no desire of lecturing any one, Mr. Fox offered a resolution providing that the items in the bill rendered by Mr. Shepherd, not disputed by the Commitivs on Accounts, be approved by the Board, and the committee re- port on the disputed items at the next regular Ieeting. Mr. Wilson thought the only proper way was to leave the whole matter in the hands of the committee, and whatever action they might take would be approved by the Board. Mr. Johnson moved to adjourn, but with- drew his motion: and Dr. Croggon offered a res- olution suthorizing the appointment of a com. mittee of four—one trom each school district —to ing uire into the efficency of the Normal School lately established, and to report at th ular meeting whether they regard as an advantage or a disadvantage to public education in this city. Dr. Croggon also asked to be excused from ‘serving on the committer, and said hought this Normal class a great disadvantage to the schools, and was opposed toit A majority of the children in hic district bad poor parents, who send their children. to school that they might learn to read. write, ant cipher: they had no time to waste with normal school business, which he regarded a@ great bug-bear, Mr. Wilsor. explained the advantages to be derived from this Normal class, but hoped the resolution would be adopted, and gentiemen could ascertain for themselves that the class Ws & benefit to the teachers. The resolution was adopted, and the Chair appointed as the committee Messrs, Brown, Rhees, Johnson, and Whyte. Mr. Johnsen inquired 1f the committee to ex- amin: didates would meet soon. Dr. Walsh said no arrangements had been made for a meeting, as there were no va cacies, and no teachers wanted.
