FINANCIAL, Mr. Pearson, from the committee on accounts, in reporting a number of bills, which were ap_ Proved and passed, remarked that the appro- priation had been exhausted, but the bills should be approved. in the Same committee a resolution was re- Ported and adopted, “that in contracting for sup- piles the Comiaissioners be requested to accept the lowest offer for such article in each schedule Of proposals instead of following the present sys- tem of accepting that proposal aggregating the smallest amount.” ‘The nomination of John E. Ferguson to be jant- tor of the Force building was confirmed. Mr. Pearson offered a resolution, which was adopted, that after the present year the gratuitous issue of writing ink, pens and pen-holders shall cease, except in the cases of indigent pupils, THE EXHAUSTED APPROPRIATION. Mr. Pearson reported, from the committee on legislation, that they had called on the House conunittee of appropriations, and had been in- formed that the committee would not take any original action as to appropriations for the schools, but required the recommendation of the District Commissioners through the Treasury department. ‘The only maaner tn which they couid accomplisli the object soucht was by making out pay-rolls in conformity with the ruling of the controller, and paying those teachers who could be paid. "They Were informed that to prepare a bill and get it through would require a mouth, Mr. Lovejoy said that, as h2 understood tt, twenty-six teachers must teach on credit until a deficiency bill is passed. Mr. Curtis remarked that it would be better that, twenty-six teachers should be inconventenced than that the whole number (nearly five hundred) should suffe Mr. Lovejoy sald there was no equitable mode of selecting the twenty-six who were not to be paid. Mr. Curtis answered that, if necessary, it should be a matter of lottery. There may, however, be some who can afford to wait for their money. Mr. Brooks offered a resolution directing the committee on teachers to examine and adjust the Pay rolls according to law. Fairley said that is what the committee should have done long ago. Mr. Curtis moved to amend by striking out “ ac- conting to law” and inserting “under the appro- ‘allable.” The amendment was accepted, and the resolu- tion adopted. WHERE THE BLAME LIES, Mr. Dodge said that he had seen in the papers communications charging that the difficulty in paying teachers ts due to the action of the board. This he denied, and sald the board had asked for the current year an appropriation of $333,000 for salaries of Superintendents and teachers.” This Was cut down by the Commissioners to $105,285, with $14,500 for increase of salaries and new schools, making $319,785. Congress had appro- priated for salaries $306,810, with $10,000 Increase— a total of $216,710. ‘The fault, he said, was not with the board, but with Congres Mr. Curtis offered a resolution, which was adopted, that, in view of the early completion of the high sc R001, Me committee ‘on teachers be authorized to allot the rooms, &., preparatory to its opening. 2 = NO LUNCH STANDS TO BE TOLERATED. A letter was received from Mrs. Copenhaven ask- ing that Mrs. Moran be allowed to have a lunch stand in the Franklin building. Mr. Curtis offered a resolution on the subject prohibiting such stanils in any of the school bulld- ings, which was adopted. Mr. Lovejoy remarked that he had seen a com- munication in a leading educational journal call- ing attention to a luneli stand in one of the build indigest— im and he had seen one set out with e pies, apples, &. Mr. Brooks remarked that some of these lunch stands perambulate, and from them are sold to- bacco and beer. Mr. Smith offered a resolution, which was adopt- recommending that in the appropriations for the salaries of superintendents there should be no discrimination between them. ig A Bvoop-ruresty OLp CovrLe.—William and Mary Bell, an aged couple, charged each other in the Police Court yesterday with threats of vio- lence.
