The hearings were not yet com- pleted in either case. Further time was ranted. . Mr. Packard, from the committee on teach- ers of the COUNTY SCHOOLS, made @ report, recommending that the fol- lowing list be confirmed by the board. It was deemed advisable by your committee to drop three white teachers in charge of colored schools, id that everything being equal colored teachers should be given the reference in colored schools. The commit- ee say they are now enabied to secure some first class teachers, and when the fact is con- sidered that colored teachers are debarred from teaching in the white schoois, justice would seem wo indicate that this Foltey, should be pursued. Three very worthy ly teachers, in charge of white schools, have declined reappoiptment. In one in- stance objection was made to a principal of @ white school. The ebarges preferred are e apd of lon; dating as far as 1869. As none of the charges are substantiated the teacher is re- commended for reappointment.

Se Brown presented & minority re- bred reciting the action already taken by | e committee, claiming that the commit- tee bad agreed to report for adoption the Eclectic series. Mr. Champlin called attention to the fact that @ minority report had already been made to the effect that it was inexpedient to make any c in the text books. The subject was over the rules. Mr. Lioyd called attention to the omission of the name of May Moran in the confrma- tions of the fourth district. By vote of the board the name was inserted the confir- mations. DRAWING TEACHERS.

Improve The District Commissioners have ad- dressed @ communication to the chairman of the Senate District Committee, returning some pa) referred to them relating to Senate bill for the relief of certain property holders on 6th street. The bill referred to directs the Commissioners to pay the sums of $503 and 2379 to two propertly holders, said amounts being ‘‘alleged to have been erroneously collected from them for special improvements on property on that street, be- tween F and G streets northwest.” The Commissioners say: “In any view of the case the same isexcessive.” The assess- | ments were settled by these persons in eight per cent. certificates of indebtedness, known | as “greenbacks,”” which are by law receiva- | blein payment for pecial improvements. The market value of these greenbacks is be- | low their face value. In payment of as- | sessments they are received at par. Tae biil contempiates re-payment to these men as though they had paid their assessment in money instead of tn script, the market value of which is so much below par. Under any circumstances this would an excessive allowance. There are, however, other con- siderations which seem fatal to favor- | able and special legislation. The claims | @re two-fold, the first branch refers to the mode in which the property of the claimants was assessed for pavements: In the mode of assessment, however, there was bo departure from the rules according to which assessments for special improvements have for nearly five years been made by the | authorities of the District. Tne aniform mode of assessment acted upon by the Com. missioners, in these and all other cases, was adopted after careful consideration, and is believed to be in accordance not only with law, but also with age . There is no more reason for setting it aside and making re. imbursement to the present claimants than there is for the same action in respect of other persons who have paid their assess. ments. The second branch of the claims in question has reference to the allowance made by the board of audit, under act of June 2), 1874, for old material taken from the streets of the city. The board of audit was com. posed of the first and second controllers of the Treasury. There is no reason to question tbe carefulness and good faith of the | Action of that board in the two cases mentioned.
