The action of the Board of Education yesterday in authorizing the municipal architect to “make temporary arrange- ments” to prevent the washing over the sidewalk of the ecarthen bank on the grounds of the Rescrvoir School elicited prompt opposition from the Palisades Garden Club, whose complaint one weck 2@5. the school board had souzht to pnswor with temporarv relief from a situation growing out of 31 years' neg- Ient A letter protesting against compliance by the municipal architect with the &chool board's _recommendation —was written to the District Commissioners last night by Miss Mary E.
