Dear Sir:

The formal contract in relation to trust, which was presented to the Board and approved has been modified in this particular. The present contract provides that after all parties to the trust agreement are made whole and all expenses incident to the operation and liquidation of tie trust properties are paid, and there remains any balance, it shall be paid to Mrs. Scruggs and her two sons. Mr. Scruggs has executed a written modification of this proviso in so far as it applies to the Board. This modification provides that if the Board is not repaid in full all loss and shortage, including expenses, costs and attorneys' fees that may be paid or contracted for, within six months from this date, then the proviso with reference to the profits going to Mrs. Scruggs and her two sons shall not become effective.

When the School Board collects its loss from the bank or the surety companies it may not then claim any profits for the reason that the bank and the surety companies will be subrogated, upon payment, to the rights that the Board has. We recommend that the contract with this modification be accepted, approved and executed by the Board. Respectfully,

Tuition Fees for Non-Resident Pupils

cept payment of tuition fees for non-resident pupils enrolling in the Oklahoma City Schools. These fees are based on the actual cost per pupil in the various grades as shown on our annual report to the State Department of Education and are the basis on which fees for transferred pupils are deter- ! mined by the State. ; Since the annual report to the State Department cannot be prepared and filed in time to make the figures available for the ensuing year, it is recommended that the Board of Education fix the tuition fees for each year on the basis of the actual cost per pupil for the next preceding fiscal year. The fees for 193^“39 would be based on the 193&"37 per pupil cost, as follows, as this is the last actual per pupil cost available at this time:

Grades

Per Month

Per Year

110.00 69.M-5 20.22 23.32

10 to 12, inc.Senior High Schools 7 to 9 " Junior High Schools 1 to b 11 Elementary Kindergarten

Inasmuch as the variation is so slight each fiscal year we recommend that this procedure be adopted in fixing tuition fees.

Motion carried. Non-Residen' Pupils / The following report was read: Swimming Pools to Be Kept Open on a Fee Basis

Mr. Otto Rose, President Board of Education Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

Oklahoma City, Oklahoma August 12, 1932

Dear Mr. Rose:

Numerous requests have come to the Playgrounds Office suggesting that the swimming pools be kept open for an additional week on a fee basis of per swim. The supervisory expense to be paid out of the 5^ admission. We have done this for the past two years and it is my belief that the public would like to have the Board of Education open them for this additional week this summer. The only additional expense outside of supervision would be the expense for chlorine gas and this is negligible. Of course, the supervision will be paid from the fees collected. In no event, will the lifeguards and matrons receive more than the fees collected. I I

■ I would like to recommend that the swimming pools at Harding, Webster, Roosevelt and Capitol Hill Junior be kept open one additional week up to and. including Friday, August 19th, under the above plan. Yours very truly,

HE:B

Herschell Emery ■Director of Playgrounds

Board of Education Clerk & Business Manager Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

Attention: Mr. Stearley

Request from City for Shale from NW High School Site' for Street Improvements for Northeas High School

Dear Sir:

In the City wide project for grading, draining and improving streets we propose to construct shale and gravel base on certain thououghfares. Among these is North Kelley from 23rd Street to 36th Street and other streets in the vicinity of Northeast High School. The largest cost in this construction is the truck haul for the shale so that it is necessary that we use a closer source of supply than the pit at the air port In company with Mr. Frank Brewer I made an examination of the shale deposit at the North end of your Northwest High School site and find that it will be satisfactory for the proposed street improvements. It is requested that we be permitted to obtain shale from that source in order to reduce the cost to the city. Otherwise it will probably be impossible to make the improvement in the Northeast section of the city.

The project is expected to start within thirty days and your immedlate attention will be greatly appreciated. Yours very truly,

I I I

Gentlemen: Under the existing conditions and the continued persecution now being conducted for political reasons, I am compelled to submit to you my resignation as a member.of The Board of Education, such resignation to become effective immediately. In the submission of this resignation and notwithstanding the purported charges made, I am conscious of no wrongdoing. From the time of my election and until the present date I have attempted to render conscientious service upon this Board and I am deeply sorry that political conditions have forced me to this position. I am not a rich man and I submit this resignation reluctantly but my business and private affairs are such that. I can no longer afford to give my entire time, as has been given in the past, nor am I financially able to finance a defense in order to determine whether or not this inquisition may continue.

I have the utmost and abiding faith in my friends and to them I give thanks for their support and I feel that conditions will soon justify their every act.

Respectfully yours,

EJJ:MT

Opinion of Attorney Relating to ^County Treasurer

The following communication was read to the Board:

Board of Education.of. the City of Oklahoma City 400 North Walnut Avenue Oklahoma City, Oklahoma ^Gentlemen: |

September 12, 193^

Attention: Mr. J. G. Stearley Clerk-Business Manager

Pursuant to your inquiry of September 10th, wherein you submitted the following queries: "What safeguard may the Board of Education legally exact and require of the County Treasurer acting as the Treasurer of the independent school district of Oklahoma City in regard to his possession and custody of sinking fund securities and cash belonging to the Board of Education." It is my opinion that the Board of Education may not require any additional bond or security of the County Treasurer acting as the Treasurer of the school district.

MEETINGOFSEPTEMBER 12, .1938 (Continued) Section 19^, Title 70, Okla. Stat. Anno, provides:

Opinion of Attorney Relating to County Treasurer

“The board of education of any independent district may designate the county treasurer as the official treasurer of said district and In any such Independent district where no district treasurer has been appointed, or elected or upon his failure to qualify or to furnish bond as herein required, the county treasurer shall be the official treasurer of such district until such time as a district treasurer Is appointed or elected, in accordance with the law. In all matters relating to such Independent district, the county treasurer shall proceed as if such district were a common school district. The official bond of the county treasurer shall stand for any and 8.11 moneys or securities coming into his hands." ! I

Thus it is apparent that the legislative intent was not to require any additional bond of the county treasurer while serving in this temporary capacity.

You should also bear in mind that this is part of the same statute which requires school district treasurer to furnish bond as follows:

{ I j j |

"In independent districts of cities and towns the bonds shall be in an amount-equal to the largest amount of funds that it is estimated by the board of education the treasurer will have on hand at . any one time. The board of education of either an independent district of.a city or a town is empowered to require the treasurer to increase or decrease his bond as the amount of funds-on hand may require. The bond shall be a surety bond to be approved by the board of education and. to be filed with the clerk of said ' * . board. The premium thereby shall be paid by the board of education, provided, however, that the treasurer of each independent school district shall require the depository wherein said fund is deposited to insure or guarantee said deposit by proper securities.*** "

Thus, it is seen that in the same statute, the legislature decided to divide the responsibility; that is to say, that the treasurer should, have certain responsibilities while the county treasurer, acting in his capacity, could not be burdened with additional bond requirements. ■ I

i Now, as to your next query, which is as follows:

i I

■

"In what manner may additional official bonds be legally required and paid for from-the funds of the Board of Education covering in full.the custody of securities and cash at the present time." ‘ ■

i i I 1

•

j The statement hereinabove made covers this question. It is, therefore, my i judgment and opinion that the Board of Education is without power or author- j : ity to require additional bond, and in the absence of statutory authoriza' tion to make such requirement or to make such payment, it cannot be legally ; ‘ done. i On your third query, which follows: "You are further requested to furnish an opinion in writing as to the payment of clerical services incident to The registration and payment of warrants, bonds and coupons and making.reports thereon, sucn services being performed in a clerical capacity in tne office of the County Treasurer of Oklahoma County."

You are advised that it is my opinion that the Board of Education is without authority to employ clerks to assist the county treasurer in the performance of his duties. Note the fact that the county treasurer is required to perform such duties as follows: "In all matters relating to such independent district, the county treasurer shall proceed as if such district were a common school district."

Under the law, the county treasurer is required to perform these duties without additional help.

It is elementary, almost, that one seeking to make a charge against a county, municipality, or any subdivision thereof, must be able to find a statute specifically authorizing the payment of whatever claim would be filed as a result of the rendition of such services or furnishing supplies and equipment. There is no authority in law, and it therefore must be held that the Board of Education is without power to employ persons to assist the county treasurer in the discharge of this mandatory duty imposed upon him by law.

171 ... .... MEETING OF SEPTEMBER(Cont lnued)â€ž_.

Your attention is called, to the case of Protest of CRI&P Ry. Co. , reported, in 25 Pac. (2d.) 690, wherein it was definitely held that.school districts were not authorized to make an appropriation for'the salary of a treasurer elected as provided by law. If such appropriation could, not be made for the payment of the treasurer for his duties performed, then certainly suph appropriation could not be made for the payment of some subordinate or clerk to assist in the performance of his duties.

Opinion of Attorney Relating to County Treasurer

Trusting that this sufficiently answers your inquiries, I am

Yours very truly, (Signed)

Report of Clerk-Bus.Mgj on Claims Legal Opinio: Requested

The following communication was read:

Report of Auditor on Claims

Oklahoma City, Oklahoma September 10, 193&

Board of Education of the City of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

Gentlemen: Recent pronouncements of the District Court of Oklahoma County, Legal Opinior together with the numerous legal questions otherwise raised in the various Requested cases now at issue, have either vitally changed or have seriously questioned the procedure, previously approved by the Schbol Legal Counsel, that has been followed in the past by the Board of Education in the matter or purchases and contracts.

Examination of claims in the past has been made to see that they ! conformed to the legal opinions so furnished, as well as to examine them to determine delivery of material, available appropriations, and proper calcula-! tlons of amount. !

The accompanying list of bills has been examined and approved by me I as to available appropriations, delivery of goods or services and calculation! of amounts claimed, but no construction has been placed by me as to their j conformity to the legal points now at issue. On account of the previous legal opinions having been overruled or seriously questioned by the Court in cases now pending, it is therefore recommended by me, as Auditor for the Board of Education, that action on the list of bills aggregating $20,033 61 * be deferred until a written opinion may be secured from the Legal Advisor of the Board, or from the Attorney General of the State, relating to the several points of law upon which an issue has been raised in the cases now pending.

We would recommend that these specific points of law be determined prior to the approval of future bills by the Board of Education.

■ !

i !

May a contract be entered'into for services, or purchase of goods or I material, by direction of a Member or Committee of the Board of Education, ! or by the Issuance of a Purchase Order by the Clerk of the Board of Education!, prior to the specific authorization of such contracts by the Board of Educa- ' tion at a regular meeting?

173 MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 12,. 193B (Continued)

Request of Auditor for Legal Opinion on Contracts & Purchases

If such services are received by the Board, or such materials delivered pursuant to such Purchase Order, may the Board of Education, at a subsequent meeting, ratify such purchase or contract by authorizing payment thereon without being in violation of the statute requiring written contracts for such expenditures?

And does the same rule apply, to purchases upon regular Purchase Orders in an amount less then $200.00 when made direct by the Clerk of the Board of | Education or by him upon the direction of a Member or Committee of the Board? i What is the legal construction to be placed upon Section 135 ~ Article 6, School Laws of Oklahoma, 1935, requiring sealed bids on items in excess of $500.00 if for, * erection of public buildings or making improvements'? â€™

Does the legal construction, to be placed thereon, include only Capitol Outlay items, such as New Construction, Additional Class Rooms, Additions to Equipment, etc.? Or does it include Building Replacement Items, such as New Window Glass, New Floors, New Stair tread, etc.? Does it include School Equipment such as furniture and fixtures, instructional apparatus, etc.?

Does it include Improvement to Grounds such as grading, landscaping, fencing, etc.? Does it include items that from an accounting standpoint would be considered Maintenance of Buildings, such as new paint, floor preservatives, the scaling of boilers and treatment for prevention of scale, extermination of insect pests - termites, etc., and preventative treatment therefor? In view of the legal points raised relative to contracts in the recent District Court Cases, It Is my recommendation that further advise be procured prior to the final approval of the above claims.

Dear Mr. Reiff:

Many Inquiries are coming in about our Public Night School - when it will open and courses to be offered. Below I am submitting my recommendations based on what has been done the past years.

176 JÂŽETJN0jOr SS3raR 12, 1938 (Centlnugl)

I am recommending.that the Public Night School for the first semester open on Monday, September 26 and close Wednesday, December 14, and that the second semester open on Monday, January 9, and close on March 29, 1939:

Night School

This work is subsidized from State and Federal funds to the extent of 2/3 of her salary.

You will note that of the original budget request of $3,141,105.76, the amount of $265,321.00 has been eliminated through the adjustment of salaryâ– scales to the basis of- last years contracts and through the cancellation of budget request of $85,570 00 * for purposes other than salaries

This leaves a net budget figure based on last years pay scale as applied to present employees in the amount of $2,875,724.76.

In order to bring this item within the maximum revenues appropriated for the current year it will be necessary to make a further adjustment in the amount of 10.591$ from the salary scales of last year, resulting in a budget deduction in salary accounts of $267,266.13 under the pay scale of last year as applied to present employees.

This will bring the budget in balance within the revenue appropriated by the County Excise Board in the amount of $2,608,458.63.

In this connection we desire to call your attention to the fact that while 10.591$ Is reduced from the past years pay scale in order to bring the total within the present revenues, it does not necessarily follow that a salary reduction of this amount on all employees will be necessary or required for the current fiscal year.

Additional Primary Aid allocations may be expected in an amount of approximately $60,000.00 on about January 1, 1939, collections of back taxes during this fiscal year should according to past experience provide an additional $100,000 to $150,000 in revenue subject to appropriations, and if no addition whatever is made during the year in personnel of the various departments and if resignations are filled by transfer the required balance in appropriation savings should be effected to bring the total within the years available revenue.

I Report of | Auditor on i Budget i Revisions and Revenues Available

178 ,.MEEXJN&.JF--SEETEMBER U~,'r-a

Report of Auditor Continued

This would require a drastic program of retrenchment along every line but should, if the plan is rigidly enforced, enable the past years salaries to be paid to present school employees during the entire fiscal year 193&“ * 1939

This plan would necessarily delay the final determination of the annual contracts for teachers until the revenues became available to meet the salaries paid on last years schedule. If the Board, however, deems it best to bring the salary scale within the present available revenues and to make adjustments and revisions upward as appropriations become available, then an.average of 10.591^ must be applied as a reduction against last years pay scale based upon whatever plan the Board of Education and its various committees may deem most equitable.

You will note from the detailed schedule hereto attached that original salary items of $2,71^,5^1 00 * has been tentatively reduced in the amount of 16.^7$, while the request for all operating and maintenance accounts of the schools in the amount of $^26,56^.76 has been, at the present time, reduced by an amount of 20.06$. These schedules will, if agreeable with the Board of Education, be submitted to the County Excise Board on the morning of September 1^, 193^, for their final approval and allocation.

Payroll Report

Mr. T. R. Stemen, Chairman of a Committee of Teachers, addressed the Board, stating that he concurred in the report submitted by Mr. Prigmore and felt sure from a study of the facts and figures presented that the funds needed to maintain last year’s salary schedule would be raised; and that the teachers would give the Board the fullest cooperation. Mr. Stemen stated that if the Board could not see its way to make a decision at this time the teachers would be willing to wait two wepks longer for their pay. In reply to a question by Mr. Cluck as to whether the teachers would be willing to go on last year's basis, Mr. Stemen replied that the teachers would be satisfied and if a reduction was found to be necessary later in the school year they would be satisfied andwxuld be ready to cooperate in every way.

Dr. Glass stated that he believed that the Board should pay the teachers as much as possible from month to month and strive to pay as much as they had paid last year. Dr. Glass then moved that,in conformity with the payroll report of the Clerk-Business Manager, the teachers be paid for the first month on last year’s basis. Mr. Knight seconded the motion and upon roll call the motion carried, all members present voting "Aye" except Mr. Rorem, who passed.

Board of Education 400 ’North Walnut Avenue Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

Gentlemen:

Replying to your letter of September 6th, directed by Mr. Prigmore to you and through you to me, I am herewith returning the claims which were furnished me by you. In this connection, an opinion was asked in regard to Section 12J15, Oklahoma Statutes 1931 *

Opinion of Attorney with Reference to Claims

The statute in question reads as follows: "Pending the expiration of the time within which protests may be filed with the State Auditor no warrant shall be issued or debt contracted by any municipality for any purpose except as provided hereinafter. # # «• * ■»

"School Districts: For salaries and compensation of officers and clerical employees; for salaries and compensation of teachers; for office supplies, blank books, stationery and *' printing; for light, fuel and water; for library and school apparatus; for maintenance of buildings and grounds including salaries of janitors and caretakers."

It is, therefore, my opinion that such expenditures as are being made by the Board should come within the purview of this statute and none otherwise until after the protest period shall have expired. I would further recommend and it is my opinion that the claims should be reaudited to determine whether or not any of the amounts set forth do not come within the terms of the statute, and if so, that those claims be withheld until after the expiration of the protest period, and if such claims are then otherwise legal, they may be paid in the manner required by law.

Very truly yours, EMB/s

Gentlemen:

I have before me letter signed by Mr. John W. Prigmore, auditor of the Board of Education.

■

This communication Involves a list of bills aggregating $20,083,61, and it is suggested that the same be deferred until written opinion may be secured from myself or from the Attorney General of the State of Oklahoma relating to points of law hereinafter suggested.

| j I 1

Very naturally I cannot pass upon each of these individual claims unless I am thoroughly familiar with each one of them. I do not conceive that it is my duty to determine the character of work that is being done or supplies, material or equipment being furnished under the claim, and that of necessity makes necessary a Clerk-Business Manager, Superintendent of Schools, and an Auditor. Now, as to the legal questions involved, we will answer them in the order set forth.

I I

Opinion of Attorney wifi Reference to Contracts and Purchases

ISO . ................. MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 14-, 1938 (Continued)

OPINION Of Attorney with Reference to Contracts, Claims and Purchases

1. May a contract be entered into for services, or purchase of goods or material, by direction of a member or committee of the Board of Education, or by the issuance of a Purchase Order by the Clerk of the Board of Education, prior to the specific authorization of such contracts by the Board of Education at a regular meeting? To this query my opinion is specifically that the Board of Education must and should act as a. body.

2. If such services are received by the Board, or such materials delivered pursuant to such Purchase Order, may the Board of Education, at a subsequent meeting, ratify such purchase or contract by authorizing payment thereon without being in violation of the statutes requiring written contracts for such expenditures?

j i | ! | i

To this query, it is my judgment and opinion that if such services are rendered and the materials delivered and the Board at some subsequent meeting should ratify the purchase of contract, then it becomes a binding obligation upon the Board and is within the statute requiring written contracts for such expenditures.

3. And does chase Orders by the Clerk direction of

the same rule apply to purchases upon regular Purin an amount less then $200.00 when made direct of the Board of Education or by him upon the a Member or Committee of the Board?

To this query the answer can be only that which is hereinbefore set forth that the Board Itself is authorized to act and in my opinion and judgment cannot delegate its authority to any person or committee.

What is the legal construction to be placed upon Section 135 ~ Article 6, School Laws of Oklahoma, 1935, requiring sealed bids on' items in excess of if for, "erection of public buildings or making improvements’1?

This involves by opinion or answer to the each question

a question which is always subject to interpretation, either by action of the courts. It is impossible to suggest an query for the reason that the same 1® o^ such nature that as it arises might be subject to differed interpretations.

Next comes five questions set forth in the letter:

• j

Does the legal construction, to be placed thereon, include only Capital Outlay items, such as New Construction, Additional Class Rooms, Additions to Equipment, etc?

| !

"Or does it Include Building Replacement Items, such as New Window Glass, New Floors, New Stair Tread, etc.?

| I

"Does it include School Equipment such as furniture and fixtures, Instructional apparatus, etc.?

j ;

"Does it include Improvement to Grounds such as grading, landscaping, fencing, etc.?

"Does it Include items that from an accounting standpoint would be considered Maintenance of Buildings, such as new paint, floor preservatives, the scaling of boilers and treatment for prevention of scale, extermination of insect pests termites, etc., and preventative treatment therefor?"

! Answering these queries, it is my judgment and opinion that the legal con! struction to be placed upon the statute in question involves and includes only capital outlay such as new construction, additional classrooms, or something that Increases the value of the buildings or grounds either for the purpose in which it is being used or for other purposes and may, in certain cases, of course, include fixtures, furniture, and instructional appara tus. It would also include improvements to school grounds, such as landscaping, fencing and grading. Such items which would only be preventative in their nature, as painting, etc. would not and do not, in my judgment, constitute an Improvement within the meaning of the law.

There are numerous cases which can be cited upon this particular point, and I recommend to Your Honorable Board that a test case be made upon this proposition so that the power and authority given and granted, as I view the law, may be determined so that this will no longer be an argumentative question. Very truly yours,

EMB/s

RESOLUTION BE IT RESOLVED BY THE Board of Education that a proper and suitable person be selected to accept the office and position of Treasurer of the Board to serve and act in that capacity. That, if possible, the Board select a person that has no official connection or employment with any bank or trust company. That if it is impossible to procure a proper and suitable person

Resolution Relating to Appointment and Duties o Treasurer

193 -MEETING- OF SEPTEMBER 26, I93S (Continued)

Resolution Relating to Appointment and Duties Treasurer (Contâ€™d)

i i

to serve in such capacity who is not connected or interested in any bank or trust company, the bank or trust company that he is interested in shall j execute a. formal contract agreeing to such person acting as Treasurer, and | the bank shall assume full responsibility for the safe keeping of any seI curities that might be purchased, owned or held by the Board of Education j and entrusted to such person as Treasurer. i That the Treasurer of the Board shall make no investment for the sinking fund except upon the written resolution and authority of the Board. That I all Investments for the sinking fund shall be placed in some proper bank or trust company designated by the Board, and ths,t all securities so placed in custody shall be covered by a custody receipt issued to the Treasurer and i the Board, and such securities shall not be released, surrendered, transfer ! red or disposed of without written resolution and authority of the Board, j and such provision shall be recited in the custody contract or receipt j issued by the bank or trust company serving and acting as.custodian. I

That each month the Treasurer and the bank or trust company shall certify that an actual physical examination has been made of all securities owned and held by the Board or its Treasurer for it, and the certificate shall be signed and executed by the bank or trust company certifying that said securities are intact and in its possession and held subject to the order of the Treasurer and the Board.

i ' â– i ! i

That the Treasurer of the Board be directed to use all sinking fund monies, not otherwise invested in securities, in the purchase and acquisition of nonpayable warrants of the Board of Education and shall for that purpose issue proper notice that all nonpayable warrants are called by the Board. That in the event there remains cash.in the sinking fund after all such nonpayable warrants now outstanding are so purchased, that the Treasurer shall purchase nonpayable warrants of the State of Oklahoma and hold the same as an investment in the sinking fund of the Board of Education. I That the Clerk or business manager and auditor shall make an examination of i the previous years to ascertain the approximate amount of nonpayable warrants that are outstanding.in.each of the months of the fiscal year and the Treas- i urer shall endeavor to arrange to have enough cash available to the credit ! of the sinking fund to purchase and acquire for each of the months the avail-f able amount of outstanding nonpayable warrants with the view in mind that i the Board shall receive all interest earned by its own nonpayable warrants | and that such interest earnings accrue to the full benefit of the Board of Education. That the clerk or business manager and auditor shall likewise ascertain and advise the Board.and Treasurer, of the available amount of state nonpayable warrants that may be purchased as an investment of the sink-f ing funds belonging to the Board of Education.

Discussion followed, Mr. Lillard stating that he understood that should the amount of cash available be invested by the Treasurer in School District warrants this fiscal year it would offset interest charges and save approximately $25,000.00. Mr. Prigmore stated that the County Treasurer was at i present investing in School District warrants to a small extent and should i have this authority, which Mr. Prigmore recommended be given him to the fulli extent of available cash.

Discussion

Mr. Lillard suggested that the resolution just read be re-adopted at this time and the question passed on.

Resolution Adopted

It was moved by Mr. Knight and seconded by Dr. Glass that the resolution be adopted and a copy given to the County Treasurer. Motion carried.

Treasurer to Invest Cash in Warrants

It was moved by Dr. G-lass and seconded by Mr. Mackie that Acting School Treasurer, Wm. F. Vahlberg, be directed to invest all available Sinking Fund Cash in non-payable warrants o-f the Board of Education. Motion carried.

Upon investigation we find that since the fire which destroyed the old Irving School building the Board has been seriously handicapped by not having a suitable carpenter repair shop and that at the present time the Board is paying $4-2.00 per month for night storage only on its six trucks. Therefore, by paying $3.00 in addition to the $4-2.00 the Board has the opportunity of procuring space that will care for both the carpenter shop, truck storage and repair space. Your Committee feels that until such time as the Board is able to procure funds to build a suitable shop building of its own, this is the best arrangement that can be made.

Attention of the Board was called by Supt. Reiff to a set of records, made by the Columbia Recording Company, of music arranged by the Oklahoma City Schools Physical Education Department in the teaching of rhythms..

W. P. A. Proj ects Considered

At this time the President stated that since the bond issue failed he had ! thought it might be well to consider W. P. A. Projects in making some of the I necessary school improvements and as there had not been time to call the ; Board together he had requested Dr. Glass, Mr. Rorem, the Clerk-Business Man-| ager and the Auditor to meet with Mr. Ron Stevens, W. P. A. Administrator, to discuss this procedure; that Mr. Stevens had reported that the W. P. A. was anxious to get such projects underway and offered any assistance they could possibly give in school building projects; that their engineers would look over the situation at Britton and Walnut Grove and as soon as this is done he would report back to the Board. In the meantime, Mr. Lillard asked the approval of the Board to go ahead and work out a. program for the Boardâ€™s consideration. It was moved by Mr. Fezler and seconded by Dr. Glass that the procedure outlined by the President with reference to W. P. A. Projects be approved. Motion carried. The President stated that no committee would be appointed but the members would be called upon when needed.

Procedure Outlined Approved Attorney Requested to Give an Opinion as to Recovery of NE Royalty Interest and NW Site Payment

Mr. Lillard called attention to a matter which he stated he believed should be referred to the Boardâ€™s Attorney, that is, from the evidence introduced in the District Court in which it was claimed that a substantial sum of money had been paid by royalty dealers in connection with the sale of the Board's royalty interest in the Northeast High School site, whether in the opinion of the Attorney the Board could legally bring suit to recover its interest, and also whether in the opinion of the Attorney the Board could recover money paid out for the Northwest High School site. It was moved by Mr. Glass that this matter be referred to the Board's Attorney for an opinion as requested by the President. Mr. Knight seconded the motion, although, he stated, he believed any action in this matter was premature and might be unfair. The motion was declared to have carried, the President stating that he believed the Board should be prepared to preserve its rights and he would like to have the Attorney's opinion as soon as possible.

Dr. Glass seconded the motion of Mr. Cluck for the adoption of the foregoing !Resolution resolution and upon roll call the motion carried unanimously. I Adopted The following report from the State Fire Marshal with reference to the Walnut Grove School, dated October 4, 193$, was read to the Board:

â– Report of ! State Fire 1 Marshal on On October 3, the Fire Marshal in connection with Mr. Shilling made inspection^ Walnut of the Walnut Grove school premises. This is a one-story frame and stucco I Grove Schoo structure, with composition roof and having six class rooms. The stucco ! being removed from the west side, the Fire Marshal took hold of one of the j floor joists, which is a 2 x 8, and very easily broke it off about eighteen > inches back from the end, it being entirely decayed, and perhaps termites i had something to do with it. The sills were also decayed at this point. I In the northeast corner, the Fire Marshal had the custodian make a hole through the stucco, and found there was no woodwork whatsoever holding the building, just a thin coating of stucco and wire, and the wire was pretty badly rusted and deteriorated. On the interior the floors are badly warped and this condition prevails in each room, and in two rooms, props were placed under the sills to support the roof, these coming through the floor. I do not know how solid the footing is, but was informed that it was solid footing. In the old wash room electric wiring was found, hanging down from the ceiling which seems to be in a very bad condition, and should be removed or replaced with a new drop cord. On the roof where there is a support bracing the prop holding this, the brace is decayed and not doing the work.

This being a one story structure, it is possible that it can be repaired to the extent that the children will not be deprived of.their schooling, by placing sufficient props and supports and taking the entire weight off of the structure, however, these supports should be placed on good footing.

216 ... MEETING.... OF OCTOBER 6, 19^

Report of State Fire Marshal on Walnut Grove School (Continued)

(Continued) .... .....

This should be done immediately and I would suggest that school be dismissed until repairs are made,' as one cannot tell with the decayed condition of the floor, joists and sills, when this building will collapse and the roof will fall and we will have another school disaster, as this is a most serious ] condition, and I would' suggest that you close your school until these repairsâ€™ have been properly made. Furthermore, after these repairs are made, would i suggest that you watch weather conditions carefully, and if the weather looks ; bad, dismiss school to protect the children. i

I feel that I am very liberal in these requirements, as this is a very serious condition, and were it more than a one-story structure, I would have to close it entirely. Yours very truly, WCT:c

Recommendations of St. Fire Marshal Referred to Supt.fe Clerk

(Signed)

Wm. C. Theimer, State Fire Marshal.

Upon motion of Mr. Knight, seconded by Dr. Glass, the recommendations of the State Fire Marshal with reference to the Walnut Grove School were referred to] the Clerk-Business Manager and Superintendent Reiff for advice and recommend-â€˘ ation back to the Board.

RecommendaSupt. Reiff made the following recommendation: tion of. Supt. "In view of the unsafe condition of the Walnut Grove School and in., order to give time to comply with the State Fire Marshal's recommendation concerning temporary repairs, I recommend that the Walnut Grove School be closed immediately to be reopened when repairs stipulated in the Fire Marshal's order are made. "Inasmuch as this building will not be entirely safe under all conditions for school children, I further recommend that the parents who wish a transfer for their children be granted same to attend another school. It is quite possible that several children can be accommodated at the Irving School. I also recommend that the principal follow the plan inaugurated last year of dismissing school in case of storm, rain or snow."

Recommendation of Supt. Approved & Work Authorized

It was moved by Dr. Glass and seconded by Mr. Cluck that the recommendation of the Superintendent be concurred in and that the Clerk-Business Manager be authorized to purchase the materials and employ the labor necessary to make the repairs and alterations to the Walnut Grove School recommended by the State Fire Marshal.

Discrepancies in Title to School Dist. Properties Referred to Attorney for Recommendation

Rulings of Labor Unions on Armistice Day Accepted

The Clerk-Business Manager called attention to discrepancies in title of the Board of Education to certain of its properties, in one or two instances where through error property had been sold for taxes, one particular instance being Lot 9, Block 50, and Lots 3, 6 and 12, Block 5'1, Stockyards Third Addition, which is the Westwood School site, which could be corrected by securing a quit claim deed, -for a nominal sum, from the holder of the tax title, Mr. A. M. Coats; in other instances, levies had been made in error against some of the School District property. The Clerk-Business Manager recommended that inasmuch as the Board of Education had abstracts of all school property brought down to date, the matter of clearing up these errors in title be referred to the Board’s Attorney for his investigation after which a recommendation could be made to the Board regarding any action he might deem necessary for the Board to take and provision made for whatever expense it might be necessary to incur in the Budget for 1939-^0. It was moved by Dr. Glass and seconded by Mr. Knight that these matters be referred to the Board’s Attorney to summarize and report back to the Board with a recommendation as to the necessary procedure for the correction of the discrepancies in titles to the Board's properties. Motion carried.

The Clerk-Business Manager reported that a question had arisen as to the observance of Armistice Day as a holiday by the various Labor Unions, the carpenters union having advised him that the trade laws of this union provide that Armistice Day shall be observed as a Legal Holiday and no special privilege could be granted employees of the Board of Education even though they were employed on a monthly basis. Other crafts, the Clerk-Business Manager stated, were not recognizing Armistice Day as a Legal Holiday, and it was asked, as a matter of fairness to mechanics, plumbers, electricians and painters, if the carpenters should receive pay for this holiday when employof the Board of Education from other crafts were obliged to work, or should their pay be deducted for .this day. It was moved by Mr. Mackie and seconded by Dr. Glass that the carpenters so desiring be permitted to take Armistice Day off and that their pay be deducted from their monthly salary. Mr. Knight moved as a substitute that the carpenters be contacted and if possible arrange to take Armistice Day off and work an additional day during the Christmas Holidays, and if this can be worked out they be permitted to take the day off. Mr. Cluck seconded the motion, which upon being put to a vote, was declared to have lost. The question was then put on the original motion which was declared to have carried. Mr. Knight and Mr. Cluck then appealed from the ruling of the Chair and Mr. Knight moved that the miles of all crafts with reference to the observance of Armistice Day be followed by the Board. Mr. Cluck seconded the motion. Discussion followed and the Chair ruled that under Robert’s Rules of Order an appeal from the ruling of the Chair must be by a two-thirds majority. Mr. Knight then moved that the question of observing Armistice Day as a holiday be referred to the Clerk-Business Manager and those employees taking the holiday be not deducted now but work later to make up the time. There was no second to this motion. The President then put to a vote the motion that the rules of all crafts with reference to Armistice Day be followed by the Board and declared the motion to have carried.

MEETING OF NOVEMBER 7, 193g (Continued)

It was moved by Mr. Knight and seconded by Mr. Mackie that the ruling of the various crafts with reference to the observance of Armistice Day be agreed toâ€˜ by the Board and in accord with the ruling of the Carpenters' Union, the car- j penters in the employ of the Board be permitted to take the holiday; and. that i the Clerk-Business Manager put the matter before them and suggest that the Board feels, in fairness to other employees, that the time be made up later, possibly on a day of vacation or by the hour after their working day. Mr. Fezler moved to amend by adding that should o.ccaslon arise the teachers be recognized on the same basis. There was no second to this motion to amend. and the president declared the original motion to have carried.

Mr. J. G. Stearley, Clerk-Business Manager Oklahoma. City Board of Education

Dear Mr. Stearley:

It seems that it would be desirable to have some instructions i directly from the Board through you concerning the duties of foremen.. In the past, it was apparently satisfactory with the Board that we should have full time supervisors for each craft. Due to the shortage of both men and money I believe it. would be well for the Board to state definitely their policy in this respect. I believe it. would be to ther Board's advantage at this time if I were notified, in substance, that all foremen will be required to work at their trade all of the time that they are not reasonably engaged in the super-i vision of the work. In the past we have been criticized by having one fore- ; man watch a couple of mechanics work. Respectfully, <

E. % Street, at $30 00 * per month. The Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds had investigated this building and recommended that it be rented, from Jerome Bernstein, Agent, on a month to month basis.

Discussion

Further Discussion and Statements by Members of Board

Mr. L. Z. Brown, of Brown and Kitterman, addressed the Board and stated that he was very much interested in Mr. Fezler’s statement in regard to the school cafeterias; that he was at the head of a campaign for a new set up in school affairs in Oklahoma City; that he had talked to many cafeteria managers and members of the P. T. A. and as far as he knew there was no objection on the part of the public to the present method of operating the cafeterias, and that the people operating them were not making any money; that .it had been circu- : lated in the press that it was the intention of one of the members of the , Board to resign and be appointed as general manager of the cafeterias. Mr. j Brown further stated that the public would not approve of this unless a better system was worked out headed by an experienced dietitian; that it would be a serious mistake to take a member of the Board and make him general manager of the cafeterias, as no member of the Board had the ability to fill this position. Mr. Kimsey asked Mr. Brown to make a further explanation and give all the information he had. Mr. Brown refused to go into the matter further. Mr. Knight stated that no cafeteria manager would lose her job with his vote and he would like to know to whom Mr. Brown was referring. Mr. Kimsey stated, in answer to Mr. Brown's statement that he presumed Mr. Brown referred to him and his ability, since he was the one mentioned in the evening paper; that he did not believe his ability could be questioned but he was not an applicant for the position, but he had made an Investigation with no other thought in mind than to ascertain whether any improvements in the present system could be made. Mr. Cluck stated that he wished to make himself clear that no cafeteria manager would be discharged with his vote and he resented the statement as to his ability. Mr. Knight stated that he wished to reiterate that any move tending to the Improvement of the schools and any effort to get better men to represent the public as members of the School Board is commendable.

The President stated that as Chairman of the Board of Education he wished to express to Mr. Brown that he, at all times, invited constructive criticism, but without basis of proof this Board, or any other group acting in good faith should take it as an offense, and if Mr. Brown had any definite proof of his statements he should disclose it. Mr. Brown stated that he was sorry that the members of the Board had taken offense, that he was not in politics and had no personal animosity or criticism of anyone and his only interest was in working for the best Interest of the schools.

Motion Carried

The motion that the Board go on record as opposing a Central Cafeteria Management plan was put to a vote and upon roll call the motion carried, all members present voting "Aye" except Mr. Kimsey, who voted "No."

Regard to j Night School The object in passing the rule was to elevate the standards of the i Attendance work to give employees an opportunity to qualify themselves for promotions |by Employees and to earn increases in pay as well as the continuance of their employment. We have never had occasion to ask for an Interpretation of the rule. However, 'we do not feel that a conscientious employee would wait for three years'after he is employed by the Board to make any effort to improve himself. The following list of employees are those who have not complied with; the above rule during the past three years. Some of them have not been em: ployed by the Board of Education for three years. However, they have all been notified that they were due in school last semester. I am submitting ; this to find out whether any interpretation of the rule is correct and for i your information.

It was moved by Mr. Bradburn and seconded by Mr. Knight that the report be accepted by the Board and the Clerk-Business Manager instructed to issue warrants in payment of the claims as recommended. Upon roll call the motion carried, all members present voting "Aye" except Mr. Cluck, who voted "No."

Mr. Klmsey stated that in connection with the use of school buildings for outside activities, as' well as activities of any particular school, a form had been worked out in detail for keeping a record of the use of the buildings, which in his opinion would aid the Board in determining the uses to I Which the school buildings were being put; and further, as to whether the custodians should be paid for overtime since under the rules of the Board now in effect custodians are paid only for such outside activities as are approved by the Board. Mr. Klmsey therefore moved that the form designated "Report on Use of Buildings" be approved by the Board of Education and from this date on, no buildings be opened for any activity after regular school hours except upon application and approval as provided for in the form referred to in this motion. Mr. Kimsey further moved that no claims for overtime be presented for approval except for the activities authorized by the Board, of Education and reported on the form furnished for this purpose. Mr. Fezler seconded the motion which was declared to have carried. Mr. Fezler, Chairman of the Budget Committee, presented for consideration a report prepared by the Board’s Auditor, Mr. John W. Prigmore, showing fund balances in salary appropriations of the 193^~39 Budget and the amount of deficit there would be in each item at the end of the fiscal year if the present schedule of salaries is maintained and no other funds are available. Calling attention of the Clerk-Business Manager, the Superintendent and the Education and Buildings and Grounds Committees, to various ways of saving, Mr. Fezler stated that by not adding to.the personnel but by using present employees to fill vacancies, and by enforcing the strictest economy in all departments, the money so saved,together with funds available for supplemental appropriation, would, he believed, be sufficient to meet the deficits. Mr. Fezler further stated that he was not in favor of dropping any employees and recommended that Mr. Prigmore make a check of prior years' tax'revenues and see that the School District funds are properly apportioned. Mr. Kimsey moved that inasmuch as the finances of the Board of Education are so^limited and extreme economy is necessary in order to prevent drastic reductions in salary items, the Board instruct its auditor, Mr. John W. Prigmor to make a careful investigation of apportionments to this School District, especially the apportionment of tuition fees due this district, to determine whether the district has received all apportionments due it through the County Treasurer's office. Mr. Fezler seconded the motion which was declared to have carried.

...MEETING OF DECEMBER 9. 1938-(Continued)

It was moved by Mr. Fezler arid seconded by Mr. Cluck that the Clerk-Business Manager be instructed to have the work on the Britton and Walnut Grove W. P. A. Projects started at once, using the surplus of approximately $10,200.00 in the Building Fund for this purpose. Motion carried.

;Work on WPA iProjects to iStart at i Once

The question of employing an architect for these projects was brought up for Question of consideration and Mr. Kimsey moved that this matter be referred to the i Architect Buildings and Grounds Committee. There was no second to this motion, and i Discussed after some discussion it was moved by Mr. Kimsey and seconded by Mr. Fezler that the Board take a five minute recess.

The question of employing an architect for the W. P. A. Projects was taken up and Mr. Knight asked if it was necessary for the Board to employ an architect and if the Board was required to pay a six percent fee. Mr. Knight also asked if Mr. M. B. Baldwin had filed an application to be employed as architect on the Britton and Walnut Grove Projects. Upon being informed that Mr. Baldwin had done so, Mr. Knight moved that inasmuch as Mr. C. F. Drury had been the architect on the first unit of the Britton Grade •’School and had done considerable work on the addition under the proposed P. W. A. building program, if the Clerk-Business Manager and the Attorney can work out an arrangement with the architects whereby there shall be not to exceed a four percent fee, and that is satisfactory to the federal government, and further that this fee can be arranged to be paid on a percentage basis as the work progresses, that Mr. M. B. Baldwin be employed as architect for the Walnut Grove Project and Mr. C. F. Drury be employed as architect for the Britton Project, at the fee approved by the W. P. A., the Board of Education to furnish the supervision; and that plans be prepared and presented to the Board for approval.

With reference to Request and Demand made by twelve taxpayers that the Board Demand to institute suit against Tankersley Construction Company and some of the former Institute and present Board members, Mr. Lillard requested the Buildings and Grounds Suit Committee to confer with him at his office on Monday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock and asked the Clerk-Business Manager to request Mr. Albert McRill and Mr. J. ' D. Lydick, Attorneys for the twelve taxpayers, to be present at the confer- j ence.

With reference to the special claims for Playgrounds Awards and Orchestra for Playground Pageant, referred to the Attorney to check as to their legal- j ity, Mr. Lillard stated that it had been ruled that these claims were not legal and he would advise claimants to bring suit for payment. Mr. Kimsey stated that he had been informed that in 1936-37 Jennings McBride had been authorized to make a special audit of 1927 taxes and had been .paid for that audit but to date the Board had not received the complete figures, and he therefore moved that the Board of Education ask Mr. McBride for a complete report of the tax audit made for the Board of Education in 1936-37, for which services he had been paid. Dr. Glass seconded the motion

Discussion

luling on lotion of Ir. Kimsey

Mr. McBride, who was present, stated, that all the records .of the release of 1927-23 taxes were in the County Attorneyâ€™s office and the audit made in 193o"37 and. aH files pertaining thereto were in the office of the County . Treasurer; that they had never been typed but an agreement had been arrived at between Mr. Prigmore, the Board's Auditor, Mr. F. G. Baker, City Auditor and County Treasurer Vahlberg, as a basis on which the apportionments had been made. Mr. Prigmore stated that if any additional information was available as to there being any 1927 tax still due the Board should have a report. Mr. McBride stated that from his examination he was of the opinion that no | additional 1927 tax money was due the Oklahoma City School District.

i 1 | | I i

The President stated that he would disqualify Mr. Klmsey's motion on the grounds that it was superfluous, though there was merit in the fact that if Mr. McBride had been paid for his services the Board should expect a re1 port and if there was any possibility that there, was any tax money due,the | Board should have access to the report. After further discussion the President ruled that it was in order to ask for the back report, and asked Mr. McBride if there would be any additional expense to get the report. Mr. McBride stated there would be only the expense of typing and again stated that Mr. Prigmore, Mr. Stearley and Mr. Vahlberg had agreed upon the apportionments. The. President stated that inasmuch as the School Board had paid for the audit the; School Board was entitled to ask for a duplicate report of the audit. i

Question Covered by Motion to Have Auditor Prigmore Check the Apportionments

Mr. Prigmore stated that the County Treasurer's office has no record of any report, and .the President stated that what the Board wants is to find out if there is any possibility of money being overlooked or not accounted for and.employ someone to find out if there is any such money belonging to the School District, and asked the Attorney for suggestions. Mr. Lillard stated that he believed that Mr. Fezler's recommendation and Mr. Kimsey's motion that the Board's auditor check the apportionments in the County Treasurer's office covers this question.

Matter Referred to Budget Committee

It was moved by Mr. Knight and seconded by Mr. Fezler that this matter be referred to the Budget Committee and that the Budget Committee be instructed to search the minutes of the Board and see .what contract or agreement was made with Mr. McBride and report back to the Board. Motion carried.

Statement of Attorney witH Reference to Special Claims

With reference to claims for Playground Awards and. Orchestra for Playground Pageant ruled not legal, Mr. Lillard stated that in justice to Mr. Emery it should be explained that requisitions had been made in the regular way and approved by the Superintendent but it had been ruled that.it was not proper to pay them.

Mr. Knight read the following letter which he stated, he was going to mail Letter from and asked that it be put in the record: Mr. Knight to Rev. December 9^h, 193& Kelly O'Neall Rev. Kelly O'Neall, 1011 N. W. 39th Oklahoma City, Okla.

Dear Sir: I If your Committee will propose a. person to fill the vacancy existI ing in the Ward One representation on the Board, of Education, I will be for that person and. will attempt to persuade other board members to support him.

I confess I would prefer to support a Mason (or a member of the Eastern Star), a Methodist and a democrat, but I will risk the selection of your committee. I believe you and I are not in disagreement as to results desirable, though we may not agree as to details pertaining to procedure.

...MEETING- OF DECEMBER 16. 1933 (Continued) i

I i

The following report was ^read: December 12, 193&

Board of Education 4-00 North Walnut Okla. City, Oklahoma

Gentlemen: In response to your request for an opinion on the matters raised in the "Request and Demand for Instituting of Suit", filed with the board on December 3, 193^, wherein demand is made that suit be instituted for the recovery of the sum of $4-7,6|3 together with the penalty, alleged to have been illegally expended in connection with the construction of the Northeast High School building, by the Tankersley Construction Company, Please be advised that I am of the following opinion.

Opinion of Attorney on Demand to Institute Suit on Northeast High School Contract

I. That the contract authorizing the expenditure of said $4-7,613 for the purposes set forth in the request was unlawful and illegal, and in direct violation of Section 6379, Oklahoma Statutes 1931, which is as follows: "No expenditure involving an amount greater than two hundred dollars shall be made except in accordance with the provisions of a written contract/ and no contract involving an expenditure of more than five hundred dollars for the purpose of erecting any public buildings or making any improvements shall be made except upon sealed proposals and to the lowest responsible bidder. Should the board of education violate this provision of this article, they shall be disqualified from further service on said board."

II. | The demand or request for suit shows that same was filed on December J 3, 193 • The same shows on its face that the acts complained of by the i board and the Tankersley Construction Company in connection with the expendi-l ture of the said $4-7,613 commenced in June or 1936 and continued until not j later than October of 1937, and that more than one year had elapsed thereafter, prior to the filing of. said request for suit. i III. • In view of this state of the record it is my opinion that any claim for the recovery of illegal expenditure of' money, herein referred to, was barred by the Statue of Limitations prior to the time of the filing of the request herein. For this reason no action could possibly be maintained, because of the bar of the Statue of Limitations, in the case of "State ex rel. Estill v. Board of Com’rs of Pontotoc County et al." 24-9 Pacific, Page 39^+, wherein the Supreme Court of this state held as follows:

j i | | i ;

"Limitation of action. (I) Action by municipality to recover penalty I for unlawfully paying out public money can only be brought within one year ! from accrual of cause of action." i An action by a municipality to recover the penalty provided by section ) 3590, 0. S. 1921, can only be brought within one year from the time the | cause of action accrued. Limitations of actions. (15) Demand by taxpayer before suing municipal i officers for penalty for unlawful payment of public money must be made before municipality's right of action is barrled by limitation (Comp. St. 1921, Page 135, subd. 4-, and sections 3590, 3591) The demand required by section 3591- 0. S. 1921, to be made upon municipal officers as a condition precedent to the right of a taxpayer to | sue to recover the penalty provided by section 3590, must be made before the | municipality's right of action is barred by the statue of limitations." III This case has not since been overruled and the law is, in my opinion as there stated.

’ !

IV. Unless the proponents of the request above referred to, or their attorneys show that this action is not barred by the Statute of Limitations, it is my opinion that nothing further can be done in the matter.

j i

| i i s I

Concerning the responsibility of those who were not members of the board at the time of the leeting of the contract in question, but who subsequently | became members of the board and later voted to approve the payment of j various sums of money to the Tankersley Construction Company, The Board | is advised as follows:

MEETING OF DECEMBER.. 16,. ..lQlg (Continued) Opinion of Attorney Northeast Contract

j j ? ) ! j

Messrs. Robin Knight, Day Fezler, Moses Schilling, and Ross N. Lillard became members of the Board after the contract in question was let, and after work pursuant thereto had been done. Estimates calling for the payment of certain sums, duly approved by the architect, the clerk-business manager, and. the auditor were presented and these following the usual custom simply voted to approve the recommendations made by the proper persons. There is no evidence in any part of the record connected with the transaction that would establish that these members knew that the contract had. been let in violation of law.

! | j ! i j !

VI' The question might arise as to when the Statute of Limitations began to I run against any action that might be brought. However, if it is decided that! the statute did. not begin to run until the last payment on the contract was i made rather than at the time of the leeting of the contract, the record as shown in the body of the request discloses that more than one year had elapsed since the jpast payment was made before demand for suit was filed.

After a conversation with Judge J. D. Lydick today, and. at his request I am sending a copy of the above opinion to him and Mr. A. L. McRlll the attorneys representing the applicatns in this matter and Judge Lydick has advised me if he disagreed with my opinion, he will be glad, to go Into conference with me on same, and. try to show me where I am wrong in the matter.

Respectfully Submitted, (Signed) Ross N. Lillard Attorney for Board of Education

The foregoing opinion of the Attorney was received and is on file on the office of the Clerk-Business Manager.

January 5, 1939

Mr. J. G. Stearley Clerk-Business Manager Board of Education Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

Dear Mr. Stearley:

Report on Ceilings at Heronville School

Yesterday noon I made an inspection of the plaster on ceilings in Heronville School, at the request of the Custodian. The custodians are required to make regular inspections of all ceilings. There was some doubt in the custodianâ€™s mind at this building and he requested that we make the inspection with him. I am of the opinion that the plaster on the ceilings in the seven remaining rooms in the south wing of Heronville School is no safer than it was in the room where the plaster fell. I understand that the Superintendent has vacated these rooms as a precautionary measure.

However, due to some decided opinions on the part of members of the Plasterers' Union, I believe that a committee other than one composed of Board employees should be asked to make a thorough inspection of this building and any others that the Board might ask them to inspect. Personally I have no objective in mind pertaining to plaster other than the safety of the school children. There should be no controversy with the Plasterersâ€™ Union since I have recommended both acoustical plaster and other insulation material .

We believe this to be a dangerous situation and urge you -to give it your earliest consideration. Respectfully submitted, Signed: 0. M. Schlosser Supt. of Buildings and Grounds Referred to Committee from Plasterers' Union and Bldgs. & Gds. Com

After discussion it was moved by Mr. Fezler and seconded by Mr. Bradburn that the Buildings and Grounds Committee and. a committee from the Plasterers Union examine the plaster in the Heronville School early Saturday morning, January 7th, and that the recommendations of these committees be accepted by the Board and. work d.one Immediately in accordance with the recommendations. Motion carried.

Request for Payment of Hospital Bill to Principal of Northeast High School

A letter was read from Mr. R. L. Loy, Superintendent of Oklahoma General Hospital, requesting that the Board assist him in securing payment of a bill for taking care of Wm. Morris, student of Northeast High School, sent to the Hospital in what was considered a dire emergency by Dr. R. J, Stillwell, School Physician, with the understanding that the bill would be paid by the School. It was moved by Mr. Fezler and. seconded by Mr. Knight that this letter be sent to Mr. J. B. Greene,Principal of Northeast High School, for his files, and. that Mr. Greene be requested to use his judgment in taking care of this bill. Motion carried. The following communication was read:

The Special Committee of Ward Two Board members, to whom the matter of the proposal to arrange for the purchase of lots adjoining the Culbertson School was referred, reported that three appraisals had been secured, averaging $35,000.00, but the Committee felt that $25,000.00 was a big price and recommended that these appraisals be placed on file for future consideration. Mr. Knight stated that since this property was in process of being zoned for business, he believed the Board should go on record to include in next year's budget an amount sufficient to acquire this property, either by purchase upon appraisal of disinterested parties or by condemnation. Mr. Knight therefore moved that the Board go on record as desiring to purchase Lots 1 to 12, both inclusive, Block 5, Culbertson Heights Addition to Oklahoma City, and that provision for same be made in the 1939~^O Budget, provided the purchase price can be agreed upon between the Board of Education, the County Excise Board and the property owners. Mr. Kimsey seconded the motion which was declared to have carried. Mr. Knight requested that a copy of this action by the Board of Education be mailed to the President of the Culbertson School P. T. A. Mr. Kimsey moved that the Board go on record as desiring to purchase ground adjoining the Riverside School site-, discussed at various prior meetings, and that a sufficient amount be placed in next year’s budget for the purchase of this additional ground, the purchase price to be arrived at in the same manner as provided for the purchase of the Culbertson lots. Motion carried.

Mr. Fezler stated that he voted "Aye" for the reason that these workers were employed as a means of increasing the school attend- ; ance and thereby increasing funds received from the State available for the j Budget. i The following opinion of the Attorney was read:

January 6, 1939 Opinion of | Board of Education Attorney i Oklahoma City, Oklahoma Recommending Gentlemen: December Bills for I I have examined the attached list of bills amounting to $15,686.^-1 Payment I have interrogated the auditor and the clerk-business manager as to the appropriation of same, calculation and receipt by the department heads and advise the Board, so far as my examination goes that same are legal bills, and If the creditors therein should sue the probability Is they could all recover the amount set opposite their names.

I recommend all these bills be paid with the exception of the bill to Harbor Longmire in the amount of $551.00, which seems to be for labor and material Mastlpave tile. This may be considered an improvement under the recent holdings of the District Court of Oklahoma County, and If same Is an improvement and was not advertised for bids according to law, I would recommend that it be not paid. Respectfully yours,

1939

Mr. C. K. Reiff, Superintendent Oklahoma City Public Schools Oklahoma City, Oklahoma Statement of Dear Mr. Reiff: Night School; This letter is in reply to your request for a brief statement of Fee, Subsi- I the set-up of the Public Night School as organized by the Oklahoma City dies and ; Board of Education. Costs by ; Vocat ional The Public Night School is now in its 22nd consecutive year. During Director this time it has served thousands of our citizens in cultural improvement,in fitting themselves better for the jobs in which they were engaged, and pre■ paring themselves for vocations. During the 1920s night school classes were held four nights a week in order to accommodate the large enrollment, which reached nearly the 4000 mark. The Board then set the enrollment fee at $2.00 per semester, 12 weeks, meeting 2 nights' a week, 3 hours a night. Now the fee is $2.00 a subject hour. This means if the student enrolls for one hour it is $2.00, for 2 hours it is $4.00, for 3 hours it is $6.00.

Under the lower fee the Board paid all the salaries of the teachers and received all state and federal subsidy because of the trade extension courses. Under the present fee, the Board pays only one pay roll .each semester and then receives all state and federal subsidy, and the Public Night School pays two payrolls each semester out of its funds.

The Intent of the State and Federal act is that the subsidies received are to be applied on the salary of the teachers teaching trade extension classes. When the local Board requested to participate in these State and Federal Funds, it accepted the intent of the act. ‘ The payment of one payroll each semester by the Board approximates this subsidy.

All preparations for the opening of the second semester have been completed. Class work begins next Monday, Januzry 9> as listed on page 7 of * the Public School Directory.

The'literature and. Program of Studies has been in the hands of students since December 14 when the first semester closed. The merchants and manufacturers have had theirs since December 31 * This literature contains all the necessary information for enrolling for the second semester. Advance enrollment was held, last week, Tuesday and Wednesday. As long as I have been responsible for the Night School programs, I the Board of Education has always furnished the housing, equipment, utilities and custodian service without any charge against the Night School fund. If this charge is contemplated, I am convinced that the Night School cannot continue under its present financial set-up. I am further convinced that if the fee is Increased, the purpose of the Night School will be defeated.

Surveys have been made regarding the Night School fees. I do not have a copy, but I recall that there are more cities with lower fees than there are cities with higher fees than the Oklahoma City Public’ NightSchool.

Motion carried.

Motion carried.

Recommenda tions of Supt. of Bldgs, and Grounds

1. Along about April 1 we hope to start repairing and rebuilding roofs with A crew of several men and keep them on the job continously for four or five months. There is almost enough material on hand to keep them busy until July 1. It may seem too early to be thinking about this work, but we have in mind ! arranging our work so that there will be several men available for roofing. Repair Work Also an experienced man will be needed. I notice that there is roofer on the I list of extra men. You might want to keep this in mind if any money should be available for the employment of a roofer before April 1. 2. Just recently a vacancy was created at Douglass School. Since there will be very little need for a man at Douglass Stadium for the next two months, may I suggest that he be. assigned as floorman at Douglass High School temporarily. He can also check the Stadium both night and morning.

Floorman Assigned at Douglass

3. At this time there is very little money available for paint material. We like to do interior painting during the severe weathqr along with the cabinet and other shop work. We could dispense with the services of one painter until such time as more money and materials are available. Therefore may I j suggest as an economy measure that the services of Mr. 0. C. Kelly be dispens-| ed with, effective February 1, 1939 *

Services of Painter Dispensed With

Mr. Schilling read the following statement and moved, that it be spread on the minutes!

iStatement |of Mr. ! Schilling • Ordered. ’Spread on Minutes

"During my tenure in office, it has always been my declared policy that the Board of Education and individual members thereof should not permit its members, individually or otherwise, to lend, themselves to the enhancement of their individual fortunes as a result of their prior connections.

"By this I mean:to say that the power of the office should not be used to encourage their private businesses and I condemn the practice wherever it exists. A member of the School Board should, seek the best possible advantages for the taxpayer alone, and no other person, either by influence or any other connection, Is entitled to any particular favors. Upon this I have always stood and always will. "I want to go on record, that so long as I am a member of the School Board I am against any undertaking to compel employees to patronize any individual, firm or corporation. I favor allowing the employees to make their purchases wherever the best advantage appears and in no other place,the employee to be the judge, and I hope that this, once and for all time, to come, will settle the question of some undertaking on the part of. individual members of the Board to compel.-purchases not in keeping, with good business judgment."

Motion to spread the statement of Mr. Schilling on the minutes was seconded by Mr. Fezler and Mr. Cluck and was carried unanimously. Leaves of ** Absence to Include Clerks and Secretaries and all Employees \P it was moved by Mr. Fezler and seconded by Mr.Schilling that the Board recess Motion carried. R for five minutes.

The Clerk-Business Manager reported that reports of the Treasurer for the months of December, 193$, and January, 1939, had not been made. After discussion in which various members expressed the opinion that the Board should appoint a Treasurer, Mr. Mackie made the following statement: "I personally think that this Board is making a serious mistake in delaying the appointment of a School Treasurer. We are, in the light of various decisions which have been handed down in Court, more guilty than some of those who stood trial, because our Treasurer is not bonded by the School District. If any of the funds should be absconded with, the School District cannot recover any of these funds because the County carries the bonds." Mr. Mackie called attention to the request made to the Oklahoma City Clearing House by Mr. Lillard when he was President of the Board, with regard to naming some one for the position of School District Treasurer, stating that he had been told that the Clearing House was favorable to naming someone for Treasurer of the Board of Education. Mr. Fezler stated that as Chairman of the Budget Committee he thought the Board should appoint a Treasurer as it was necessary to have the reports before the next year’s budget could be completed.

Gentlemen: In re: The question propounded to me on last night, with reference to the sufficiency of a million dollar bond for your new Treasurer, beg to advise: Section 6273 of the Oklahoma Statutes, 1931, provides in part as follows: "The bond shall be in an amount equal to the largest amount of funds that it is estimated by the Board of Education the Treasurer will have on hand at any one time."

This section also provideq that the Board has the right to increase or decrease the bond as the amount of funds on hand may require, and I would suggest to the Board that on account of it being necessary to make a surety bond under this section, same cannot be made to fluctuate but will have to be for a fixed sum, and I advise you that I am of the opinion, a million dollars would be complying with the spirit of the law. Q

Attorneyâ€™s Opinion on Treasurerâ€™s Bond

I would further1advise the Board that in making this bond the Treasurer of the District shall require the depository wherein the fund is depos- i ited to insure or guarantee said deposit by proper securities which shall | be of the same class of securities as are required to insure deposits of the i County Treasurers of various counties, and that said securities so given i shall be deposited with the County Treasurer of such Counties for safekeeping.! I further suggest that an agreement be entered into between the Treasurer and the School Board, wherein the funds and securities of the School District shall be under the supervision of the Treasurer, the Board of Education, and the President of the Bank wherein the money is deposited.

I believe in complying with the above suggestions the Board of Education would be complying with the law and insuring the safety and security of the funds and securities of the Board.

Yours very truly, Signed: Ross N. Lillard Attorney for the Board of Education

Mr. Malcolm McKenzie, Attorney, who was presented stated that he concurred in the opinion of Mr. Lillard.

Recommendations of Clerk-Bus. Mg]

COMMUNICATIONS 1. In conformity with the Board's action of February 6, extending the Leave of privilege of leaves of absence to all employees of the Board, I recommend Ab sen ce that Alex Coleman be granted a Leave of Absence for 90 days, with the I privilege of extension to July 1, 1939. Use of 2. Request from the Junior Chamber of Commerce for the use of Classen or Central auditorium for the World Peace Oration finals, Tuesday, April 11,1939 1 Classen Auditorium I recommend that this request be granted at a charge of the actual cost of opening the building, $17.50 for Classen and $18.93 for Central, $8.00 of to Junior Chamber this amount being for labor and the balance for utilities. 5. A request referred to the Attorney at the previous meeting, from the Easement to Southwestern Bell Telephone Company for permission to extend their telephone SW . Bell - Tellines iines noruii north ui of nurunwesi, Northwest cfun 27th Street uui'eeb axong along the me easu east sine side 01 of ^oruiwesL Northwest Highnxgnj school property, a distance of approximately 140 feet, to enable the extension epnone L,°* Of their facilities to the new additions being opened In this vicinity. The ; Attorney having filed his written approval, I recommend that this request be ■ granted. i

4. Request from Dean Richardson, State Director, Federal Music Project, foh Use of Page the renewal of the Board's permission to use Page Stadium for Federal Music Stadium for Project Teachering Center; upon Investigation we find that this Project is Federal rendering a very definite service to the community comprising our Separate Music School District. The results show that this Project is worthy of the Board’s Proj ect consideration. I recommend that the request of Dean Richardson for permission to continue the Federal Music Teaching Center in the rooms under the bleachers of Page Stadium be granted, with the understanding that the opening and closing of the stadium and general care of the School District's property be in charge of a custodian In the employ of the Board of Education. Custodians' 5. Work of custodians in cafeterias. In order to carry out the operation Duties with and care of school buildings in such a manner that the building will be proReference to perly cared for and at the same time be fair and reasonable to the principal I Cafeterias and custodian, we find it necessary on many occasions to make a decision as i to what is required of the custodian in connection with the care of school cafeterias. In some instances, the custodian has been required to spend a major portion of his day caring for and aiding in the operation of the school cafeteria^ such as cleaning tables, carrying dishes and helping in the kitchen. /While the Board of Education has a rule stating that cafeterias should be self-sustaining, we have advised the custodians that the cafeteria is a part of the school building and therefore becomes a part of their responsibility, insofar as keeping the building in a sanitary condition, properly heated and ventilated, and securely locked after cafeteria employees have finished their day's work. I recommend that the Board of Education instruct the Custodians that it will be their duty and responsibility to properly sweep and.clean dining rooms dally, mop when necessary, and be responsible for the proper lighting, heating, and sanitary condition of the cafeteria.

I recommend that this request be referred to a special committee of the Board, together with Mr. Reiff, Superintendent of Schools, to make a thorough investigation as to the expense to the Board in connection with operating this playground center and if there is any possible way from a standpoint of supervision and financial outlay, that the Board of Education grant the Juvenile Council’s request.

Bids been tabulated, a list of tabulations being attached hereto. The tabulation ' sheet shows that Fine Arts Company and Baggett Engraving Company are the two < low bidders. A careful investigation has shown that both have complied with â– all the provisions of the specifications. Inasmuch as the Baggett Engraving j Company is the low bidder, I recommend that the contract for approximately 1 1700 high school diplomas be awarded to the Baggett Engraving Company at its! bid of 97/ each. 10.

Some of this obsolete high pressure equipment has been sold from time to time < at junk iron prices. At the present time, we have a bid from Pellow Brothers i Monument Works of Granite, Oklahoma,, offering the Board $24.50 for three of these obsolete steam boiler feed pumps.

I therefore recommend that the plans and specifications covering the Walnut Grove School W. P. A. Project be approved by the Board of Education.

Fence for Riverside School Recommended

Fence for Riverside School. From time to time during the past .few years | we have been requested by the patrons and principal of Riverside School to | erect a fence along the south side of the fourteen lots comprising the •• I Riverside School site. The play area is very small and a fence along the \ street side of this property would be a great protection to the children. Mr. Schlosser advised me that with the aid of N. Y. A. labor he can reclaim the 2" pipe used to extend the old water line to Mark Twain School and thereby get material for posts and braces, leaving only the fabric to be purchased by the Board.

I recommend that approximately 35° lineal feet of 2” mesh chain link fabric | of #9 galvanized wire, 6 feet high, be purchased from Oklahoma Wire and Iron Works at $.34- per lineal foot, or $119.00. With the purchase of this fabric the fence could be erected by the Buildings and Grounds department under Mr. Schlosser's direction. Extension of Time on Irving Add’n

3. Tankersley Construction Company. I recommend that the following proposal j of the Tankersley Construction Company be accepted by the Board of Education.! You will note that the total of the work represented in this proposal is | less than $500.00 and therefore does not come within the purview of the law I which, requires competitive bids for the making of any improvement costing j $500.00 or more. ; "We hereby propose to furnish all labor and materials necessary to do the following work: 1. Furnish and install (2) cabinets in the principal's office marked A and B on architect's plan. 2. Construct (1) sewer man hole without cover and ring. 3.

The following statement whs read by Mr. Fezler:

Statement of Mr. Fezler

"The next regular meeting of the school board will be Monday, March 6th, and at that meeting, I will present my resignation as a member of the school j board. A few days ago, I accepted the presidency of the board thinking that I I could straighten out the difficulties that the board found itself in and j that it could put into effect some ideas which might be a guide to the new school board which will take office May 1st; namely: abolish committees, j thereby transferring .the administrative power to Supt. C. K. Reiff and George Stearley, Clerk-Business Manager.

"I have, in a small way, put in some of my ideas, but the more I think about it and having the entire school system at heart, I feel It Is for the i best Interests of the system that I resign. I have threatened several times i before to resign, but my friends have persuaded me that I should not. My reasons for resigning are these: There will be a school board election March 21st and there will be plenty of time before the April meeting to fill i the vacancy. I do not think it fair to the school teachers and the employees that they have to wait until after May 1st, for a board to meet and pass on them. I believe in teachers' tenure and feel that the teachers should know long before May 1st whether they are to be hired or fired. (No teachers should be fired without a hearing.)

"There will be a school board election March 21st. I do not think it isj fair for a board member to sit on a board and present the budget to an in' coming board and expect them to carry on with that budget. I feel that the * men who are elected for the board should take over the office immediately. i That they should wrestle with the problems of next year's budget, the proj blems of securing relief for the overcrowded schools and the rebuilding of ! fire traps. "I feel that in resigning at the next monthly meeting, if proper diligence is taken care of by the ones in charge that with the innovations that have been put in the school system lately, that no salaries will have to be cut and that the schools will carry on in good shape for the rest of the fiscal year."

Mr. Mackie stated thathe wished to make a statement for the record clarifying some rumors in regard to the recent reorganization of the Board, as it seemed that Mr. Schilling had borne the brunt of some criticism that pressure had been brought to bear on principals to make purchases from different firms and Mr. Mackie asked Mr. Fezler if he had ever had any indications that such pressure had been brought to bear in this matter. Mr. Fezler stated that he he had told the principals that as far as he was concerned, the pressure was off.

Item #7- Transfer of Funds. The Bond election held earlier in the school year used all of the appropriation for expenses of elections carried in the School Board's budget for this year. Therefore, it will be necessary to transfer sufficient funds to cover the expense of the Primary Election of school board members to be held March 21 and the General Election to be held April 4, in all precincts outside of the limits of Oklahoma City and to cover all.expenses.for the excess levy election to be held by the-Board of Educatio: in May. Based on costs of the School District election in 1937 for "the selection of School Board members and the excess levy election of 1933, $2,500.00 will be required to meet these expenses. I recommend that the Board authorize the Clerk-Business Manager to make application to the County Excise Board for transfer of funds in the amount of $2,500.00 to meet these expenses. Transfers.to be made from unencumbered balances not needed to complete the fiscal year as follows! Name of Account

Recommendations of Supt. of ! Buildings 1. That Mr., Naze Jackson be employed as a floorman at Douglass High School j and at a salary of $95.00 per month, to faill a vacancy existing there. This i Grounds is in accord with the Board's plan .of delaying filling the vacancy until ! this time since the custodian at Douglass Stadium has been doing this | work. From now on the custodian will be needed at the Stadium. >' s 2. That Mr. Ross Brooks be employed as a floorman at the customary minimum | pay of $95 00 * per month. We suggest that his permanent assignment be delayed and that he be assigned temporarily to the labor crew since that is the most urgent need at this time. This is also in accord with the policy of the Board to re-employ men, that have been laid off, as their services are needed. | Respectfully submitted, (Signed) 0. M.

It was moved by Dr. Glass and seconded by Mr. Knight that the contract be! tween the Board of Education and the Douglass Athletic Association be approv-! ed by the Board and upon roll call the-motion carried unanimouslyi

The President stated at this time that Mr. Prigmore had been made Chairman of the Budget Committee and asked Mr. Prigmore if he had anything to say about the Budgets. Mr. Prigmore stated that he would take over this duty only under these conditions, that is, that the budgets be prepared based upon the needs of the district and on the probable income of the district, so that the Board could start out the year on a Budget not greatly in exce of the revenues and not find Itself in the condition it was now in; that might mean a drastic reduction at the outset instead of in the middle of year.

Statement of Auditor on Budgets for Next Year

Mr. Knight asked Mr. Prigmore if his first report on the present year’s budget did not show that there would be money available to last until the end!Year's of the fiscal year. Mr. Prigmore replied that he had made two reports, one !Budget in November which pointed to that end, and another in January, which did not | indicate the same degree of optimism. However, it did point out the possi! bility of being able to continue without any salary reductions, though there were many factors not as favorable at the present time. Mr. Knight then asked if any funds had been released, and Mr. Prigmore plied that there had not been, but something might be done through the of the County Attorney.

Mr. Fezler then made the following statement: __ . . ____ I hand ____ in ___ ... v____.......... ...... of "Before my resigna!Statement tion as School Board member, to stop a lot of unrest that is going on through|Mr. Fezler out the school system, I would like to have this Board go on record, pledging that no one in any department will be dismissed except for cause and that i i same cause for dismissal shall bear the recommendation of either Mr. Reiff ! or Mr. Stearley. I wish them to go on record guaranteeing everyone their i security of position until the next Board shall take over the first of May. Naturally this Board can not determine a policy for the new Board." i

(Continued)

Dear Mr. Stearley: I regret very much the necessity of troubling you again in connection with the papers required becausfe of the execution of the bond on behalf of Bonon Lee Scott as Treasurer of the Board of Education. However, the bankâ€™s attorneys found that the agreement governing the sinking funds did not fully agree with the requirements and their trust receipt. They, therefore, redrew the agreement changing the wording in several places but not changing the gist of the agreement. This new agreement has been reviewed by our Law Department and also by Mr. Ross N. Lillard, Attorney for the Board, and from our standpoint and that of Mr. Lillard, it is entirely satisfactory. It will be necessary, however, for the Board to pass a new resolution approving the revised contract and we suggest that supplemental resolution be passed modifying the previous one only to the extent of this new contract. Kindly have the President of the Board execute this agreement and return same to the writer as promptly as possible.

A check of appropriation accounts shows that there are not sufficient funds remaining in the appropriations for the Attendance Departments, in both Majority and Separate Schools, to pay the salaries for the pay period ending March 31, 1939. Likewise, the appropriations for salaries of Clerical Employees in both Majority and Separate Schools will be exhausted before April 15,and for the Health Department of the Majority Schools before May 15.

Exhibit "D" of the report, dealing with salary accounts, was discussed and Mr. P.rigmore was asked by Mr. Knight if. he anticipated that funds would be available not later than June 20th to meet teachers' salaries in full on present salary schedules.

The Separate School budget, Mr. Prigmore said, was already assured. Mr. Lillard reminded the Board that at the beginning of the school year a Committee of Classroom Teachers had been told that the Board would pay salaries on last year's schedules with the understanding that if toward the end of the year there were not enough funds on hand to continue without cutting salaries, all salaries would be reduced in the same ratio the latter part of the year.

Statement of Mr. Knight in Favor of Motion

stated a nunber of times, that the Board was morally obligated to deliver contracts to the twenty-two teachers involved. As for the law in the matter as I see it the law contemplates only justice and equity. Furthermore, I think a written contract is only a memorandum of an agreement already entered into."

The roll being called upon the motion of Mr. Bradburn, the vote was as follows! â€˜'Aye," Bradburn, Cluck and Knight. Dr. Glass, Mr. Kimsey, Mr. Mackie and Mr. Schilling passed. Thereupon the motion was declared to have lost.

Asked if any of these members-elect had anything to say, Mr. Richardson thanked Mr. Knight for his invitation to attend the meetings. Mr. Miller asked if anyone could tell him where to find the money to pay the teachers' salaries in full. Mr. Knight replied that the problem was a mutual one now. Mr. Robinson reminded Mr. Knight that as a hold-over member Mr. Knight would have to help solve the problem, and asked Mr. Knight if he thought the necessary * funds would be forthcoming. Mr. Knight replied that advice to him from Mr. Prigmore and Mr. Stearley, both older in the service and more experienced than he was, made him feel optimistic over the probability of the Board!s ability to meet all payrolls in full on or before June 30th.

J. Ben Mackie

Other officials present: Superintendent C. K. Reiff and Mr. Ross Lillard, Attorney. Absent: Mr. Jno. W. Prigmore, Auditor. The meeting was called for the purpose of approving payrolls and for the transaction of other business requiring the attention of the Board. Mr. Willis Stark, Attorney, representing the American Legion, came before the Board and presented a request from James Europe Post #157 (Negro) for the use of the east side of Douglass Stadium grounds May 1 to 6 inclusive, for the | purpose of holding a carnival sponsored by and for the benefit of the Post. i The Board was assured that only .clean, wholesome entertainment would be per- j mitted and no gambling or sale of intoxicants of any nature would be allowed. > It was moved by Dr. Glass and seconded by Mr. Schilling that the request be granted at the actual operating expense, in conformity with the terms of the i request. Motion carried. |

Douglass Stadium to American Legion for Carnival

Mr., Tom Garrett, Attorney, representing Mr. R. J. Robertson, came before the Board in the interest of securing the enforcement of a lease of the Northwest High School site for a golf driving course granted Mr. Robertson on March l^th and on petition of owners of adjacent property, rescinded-on March 23rd. Mr. Garrett presented a petition for the granting of the lease signed by residents of the .same district. Mr. C. B. Warr and Mr. Earl Simon addressed the Board protesting the use of this property for a driving course or for any other than school purposes.

Request to Enforce Lease on Northwest High School Site for Golf Course

It was moved by Dr. Glass and seconded by Mr. Bradburn that action in this Motion to matter be deferred until May 1st or after. Upon roll call the motion carried, Defer Action all members present voting "Aye" except Mr. Cluck, who voted "No" and Mr. Carried Knight, who passed. Mr. Schilling explained that he voted to defer action in this matter for the reason that It was so near the end of the term of the present Board and there might be a controversy over such action as it might take, he was in favor of letting the new Board decide the issue. Mr. Kimsey stated that the reason for his vote was the same as Mr. Schilling's.

Further dlsucssion followed in which the following facts were brought out: That while the Board had taken action on March l^th granting Mr. Robertson a lease on the Northwest High School site for a golf driving course at a rental of $25.00 per month until July 1, 1939, and Mr. Robertson had obtained the signatures of several members of the Board on his proposal before the lease was officially authorized by the Board, no lease contract had been signed by either party; that Mr. Robertson had opened the golf course for business on April 1st but no lease money had been tendered.

Discuss ion

Mr. Garrett then tendered $25.00 in payment of the April rent, which on advice of the Attorney was refused. Mr. Lillard suggested that as a matter of fairness the Board accept $12.50 as â€™rental up to April 15th and at that time Mr. Robertson should cease operations. This Mr. Robertson refused to do. After further discussion it was moved by Dr. Glass and seconded by Mr. Kimsey that $25.00 be accepted from Mr. Robertson for the use of the Northwest High School site for the month of April upon the signing of an agreement by Mr. Robertson that he would waive all rights of possession and abandon the premises on May 2nd unless he secured a contract from the new Board. Upon roll call the vote was as follows: "Aye," Mr. Bradburn, Dr. Glass, Mr. Kimsey. j "No," Mr. Cluck and Mr. Schilling. Mr. Knight passed. Thereupon the motion ! was declared to have lost.

MEETING OF MAY1,1939 (Continued)

Statement by Mr.Schilling

Mr. Schilling read the following statement and requested that it be recorded in the minutes?

11 Mr. President, Members of the Board, and Successors?

| At this moment and at this time, I sing what is generally known as a I 'swan song' - this is in writing so that its lack of rhythm may be fully apparent. • "In 1937> I was appointed a member of the School Board to fill the vacancy of member at large. Critics immediately said that I was named by a majority of the board, which was necessary, of course, under the law in order that any person could be named. Yet, those same critics now say that my appointment to the Board was or is the result of some of the alleged failures of that board to act within the strict letter of the law or in keeping with the general idea of good public policy. Far be It from me, an humble, retiring member who did not seek the election, to submit the query, 1 but the thought still remains, if I were selected by the majority, what strength did I have? The question begs the answer. Rather than enter into a detailed reply to all of these questions, the fact remains, I served my term. My record in office failed to reveal any wrongdoing upon my part, even to the extent that a District Court of this county set aside a judgment against me upon the ground that I had not had a fair trial and that the charges against me were without basis. Not having sought election or further public office, as I view the conditions now, the greatest service that I can do•is to point out to the new School Board, all of whom I consider honorable men, certain of the traps which lie in their path, and this I am ready to do should they, in the exercise of their widsom and judgment, feel it necessary to seek my advice. • "You gentlemen start with the support of both my critics and my friends. I have assisted, in my humble way, in the election of the members of the board, including my successor as member at large. Many pitfalls will present themselves, most of them dug through misunderstandings. Oftentimes, you will be criticised and abused, and most times your motives will be misconstrued. Your thankless job, without pay and without hope of reward, will take courage, thought and planning, and in the end, you, too, will be held over the grill by a selfish group of publicity givers, where the true public may not have the facts and have no way of informing themselves thereof. The ailments, complaints, and the remedies, however,-I leave to you - you are the new physicians. "I have continuously and consecutively voted against contracts which apparently and upon their face are, in my judgment, unlawful, unjust and against the public policy, and in this regard I make specific reference to the Ross Lillard contract. It will be recalled that at the time that Mr. Lillard deliberately, in my judgment, framed a condition, under and by virtue of which he became the attorney for the school board, I voted against his appointment, feeling at that time that no necessity existed for a change, and I further feel that I am vindicated as a result of his seeking additional salary and then deliberately resigning in order to procure from an unsuspecting public vast amounts of money which, under no condition, could be due. If Mr; Lillard, under any reasoning, had his salary coming, then certainly it is beyond the purview of common sense and good reasoning that he ought or could seek aside commisdbns. I condemned it by my last vote - 1 condemn it now, and if, in my parting words, I can say one single thing that will lend courage to this board or to the public to cancel what I consider it— this damnable group of contracts, call me and I am at your service. I have oftentimes heard it said that it is a crime to violate the law, and that, I take it, means the violation of any law, statutory, moral or otherwise, and I further maintain that if it is bad to violate laws., it is worse for one having full knowledge to seek to evade it, and that I charge has been sought to be done in this matter. Mr. Lillard seeks to evade the law by prematurely resigning in order that he may then attempt to receive a commission. My thought is - let the public know and let him answer. "My term is ended. To my successor, I extend my best wishes. In you, I have confidence, Mr. Edwards, and I feel that you will serve this public to the very best of your ability. God speed you, and good luck to all of you."

Statement by Mr. Knight

The following statement was made by Mr. Knight?

"No other person in Oklahoma City, probably, is half as tired as I am of the constant, continual, and progressive heckling, bickering, and yapping being persistently indulged in and apparently directed at me by the Oklahoma Publishing Company and/or one or more ot its subdivisions. "In a fine country such as our's, no person should find it necessary to speak as I feel now compelled to speak, nor to adopt a policy which I find myself about to announce the irrevocable adoption of. "In 1917, when our country entered the World War, I enlisted in the army the same month war was declared. I have followed the flag of my country across the sea, on foreign soil and in foreign waters. I gave the best account of myself I knew how. I returned home a war casualty. I am proud

MEETING.;OF MA.Y1, 1939 (Continued)

"that it is written upon my army discharge that I was resourceful and Statement by efficient. Incidentally', I dare to state, that I have better proven my Mr. Knight patriotism and have made more clearly my fight of voice and participation Continued in my country’s affairs and activities, than most of the over-lords of the ; Oklahoma Publishing Company. i "Some statements recently appearing in local papers have been very ■ objectionable to me, because they maliciously misrepresented me. The gist of those statements, as I read them, is that I, as President of the Board of Education, called a special meeting of the Board for the purpose of negotiating a contract with Mr. Ross N. Lillard. The board meeting having been called, it is seemingly contended, after arrangements and understandings had^ been reached in connection with the contract. That is a deliberate falsehood. "Last Monday, April 24, 1939, Stearley telephoned to me that he would like to have a Board.meeting set for the purpose of approving payrolls' for certain employees, so that the checks could be ready for distribution, on May 1, the date the employees would be due their pay. It should be recalled; here that the agreement between the School Board and the Treasurer of the District stipulates that the Board shall have acted on claims before the j Treasurer shall register warrants covering same, the Business Manager certifying to the Treasurer that the claims have been passed. I asked Mr. Stearley what date he would suggest. He said he thought Wednesday I evening, April 26, 1939, would be about right. I asked if his office would i call the various board members. He replied that he would notify them. I am informed that he did telephone the other Board members that the meeting for the purpose of approving payrolls would be held, notifying them by telephone Tuesday forenoon, April 25, 1939 * "At the Board meeting held Wednesday evening, April 26, 1939, following ; approval of payrolls as submitted, a proposal to enter into a contract with i Mr. Lillard was made. Until arriving at the place of the meeting, I did not know that such a proposal would be made and I had no knowledge that such a contract would be submitted. "Following is a statement signed by Mr. Lillard? j ’Out of fairness to all concerned, I voluntarily make the ! following statements? j 'So far as I know or believe, no member of the present Board | of Education, previous to the meeting of April 26, 1939, held I any conversation whatsoever with Robin Knight relative to a i contract between myself and the Board of Education in connection ■ with litigation possible of arising from testimony given in some | recent District Court cases. ’Certainly I never had talked to Mr. Knight on this subject. | I did not talk with him about the matter that night/ except in j reply to his questions in open Board meeting, and he did not ' vote for my contract. (Signed) Ross N. Lillard I Apr. 26, 1939' ; "For the purpose of keeping the record straight, I am taking the liberty to ask each board member present the following questions? 1. Did any of you gentlemen ever have with me any agreement or even a conversation, for that matter, about any contract whatsoever, of any nature, proposed to-be entered into with Mr. Lillard.

> i I i ;

2. Had you been in communication with me, either directly or indirectly, for several days before the board meeting was called for April 26, 1939? * 3 Did you communicate with me, either directly or indirectly, after the meeting was called and before we assembled? "I ask you, Mr. Stearley, are my statements concerning you which you have heard me read, true and correct?

"I telephoned a reporter, whom I thought was responsible for the objectionable, erroneous article of April 27, 1939, to protest the state| ments that I had voted to pass after five votes had assured approval of j the contract, and also to protest the statement that 'it was obvious the | deal had been entered into before the meeting was called'. As for my having voted after every other board member had voted, I have done so at this meeting and the person who succeeds me as President will do likewise. As for the paper's statement that 'it was obvious the meeting was called after the deal concerning the contract was made', that is more obviously an unwholesome mistatement. ;

MEETING OF MAY 1. 1939

(Continued)

Statement by Mr. Knight' Continued)

“This reporter to whom I telephoned, declined to listen to reason and stated in effect that he doubted my word. Using oaths, he defied me to bring a suit to disprove his statments. The following day, April 28, 1939, even iafter I had entered protest and had attempted to make a truthful explanation, ja local paper carried a statement that the Board meeting of Wednesday, April 26, 1939, had ostensibly been called for the purpose of approving payrolls. ‘Ostensible,’ we all know, meaning ’pretended ’. If it weren’t so rediculous for people to prevaricate on others like that,it would be tragic. i “Now, I don’t ask for any consideration from that band at Fourth and iBroadway. When reporters apologize for the attitude of the papers they work jfor and when editorial writers admit that they get orders ’to burn certain jpeople down’ editorially, it makes one do a considerable bit of wondering, iMy family, my friends, and my business associates are due that I defend I myself against unprincipled misrepresentations. | "If the game is that this is a fight to the finish, one aimed at disi credit and destruction of me and of mine, I accept it as such, asking no quarter. Despite the over-whelming advantages of ownership of newspapers and radio stations, I invite them to employ their well-worn adjectives, Invectives; their Influence and affluence; to extend themselves in their indisputable skill to misrepresent; to do their very worst with inuendo and subterfuge; and to exercise to the fullest their devotion to slander and hate. I welcome their spite. I am proud to have them for my enemies. "Once while I was Superintendent of the State Training School at Pauls Valley, Oklahoma, I asked my beloved friend, the late R. H. Bob Wilson, to write an article on any subject of his choosing, for publication in our school paper, Oklahoma Boy. Mr. Wilson chose as his subject ’A Good Name is More to be Desired than Great Riches.’ Regardless of what they may presume or assume, the only issue between this paper and me is my defense of my name and character, though the security of my family is perhaps also involved. "As long as the seemingly unyielding, snobbish, indefensible ill-will evinced toweard me and others who dafre to disagree with them is indicant, by 1 all means, I shall dare to continue to disagree with them. I "For several years, being myself busily engaged in what I consider much more ethical and legitimate pursuits than they, I have been somewhat tolerant of what I consider slander directed against me, typical of which are the recent articles which I have referred to. That period of tolerance I now definitely declare to have come to an end. I purpose to fight false statements with true statements. I am going to be hard to convince that might makes right. I believe that Truth crushed to earth actually will rise again. My refuge is the fifth one of the Ten Commandments, that one being 'Thou shalt not bear false witness a£0.nst thy neighbor.' "Expecting them to stick to the truth is certainly too much, but in defying this admonition they give me the advantage of having on my side greater help than their money ever can buy, either here or hereafter. "My final statement to those whom I consider as slanderers, is that in spite of them and perhaps beyond their ability to understand, I shall continue to deport myself as a gentlemen."

Statement by Mr. Mackie

Mr. Mackie made the following statement: "Mr. President, I would like to make a statement with reference to Mr. Lillard's contract. I don't have any prepared paper. My statements will probably appear weak in’comparison to yours and Mr. Schilling's, but I feel that Mr. Lillard, as attorney of this Board, represented us capably and efficiently and I feel that my vote for giving him his contract was in the. form of rewarding his merits, and I felt like it was also doing the District justice. 1 feel like a man who goes down to the District Court and obtains the judgment that he did.for us, being familiar and acquainted with the case, was entitled to the opportunity to plead the case before the Supreme Court, i if and when it was to be plead before that body. I had no scruples of any kind in regard.to his contract. I felt that I was doing for the District what was fitting and proper and I don't feel like the contract merits the attention that either you or Mr. Schilling, or the Daily Oklahoman, or anyone else has seen fit to give it."

At this point, Mr. Knight interrupted Mr. Mackie,

saying:

"You will forgive me for interrupting. I have not mentioned the merit or demerits of the contract. I Just protested as vigorously as I knew how, the misrepresenting of me." Mr. Mackie continued:

"I want to say on behalf of myself and I feel the others who voted for it, we felt like in giving to Mr. Lillard this opportunity, not because he was our attorney while we were on the Board, not because he was Ross Lillard, or because he might be a friend, but because he was familiar with all these cases and because he had worked hard to find evidence on behalf of the School District. That is why I voted for Mr. Lillard."

^Report of !Auditor on iContract !with Ross N. i Lillard i

G-entlemen: Having been absent from the City last week, the matter of the contract entered into by the Board of Education on April 26, 1939, for the conduct of special school litigation has just come to our attention.' We wish to take this opportunity to call to your attention the provisions of Chapter 32, Article 11, Revised Laws 1931, which requires that the Governing Boards of all Counties or other Murfcipal Subdivisions shall submit all purchase orders and contracts to the officer charged with keeping the appropriation and expenditure records, who shall, if there be an unencumbered balance in the appropriation made for that purpose by the County Excise Board, so certify by signing the purchase order or contract. “Provided that no purchase order or contract shall be valid unless within the appropriation as made for that particular and special purpose and so certified by the officer charged with keeping the appropriation and expenditure records." Sections 5971 to 597^ direct that all purchase orders and contracts be charged against the appropriation provided for such purpose at the time the purchase is made or the contract let, and places responsibility on the officers on their official bonds wherever any ''indebtedness, claim or obligation, for .any purpose, or on any account, shall be incurred in excess of the appropriation as made for that particular or specified purpose." Section 5975 provides that "any County or Municipal Officer who shall lncurr any indebtedness, claim, or obligation, for any purpose, or on any account in excess of the appropriation available therefor shall forfeit, and be removed from office in the manner provided by law for willful mal-administration." The appropriation and expenditure records of the Board of Education conform to the above outlined procedure. No available appropriation was in existence in any amount for the payment of special attorneys fees at the time of the action of the Board of Education in the approval of the contract.

Warren H. Edwards Edd L. Hisel Dave R. McKown Robin Knight Sam A. Rice J. Wiley Richardson Al Robinson Roy J. Turner Other officials present:

Supt. C. K. Reiff and Jno. W. Prigmore, Auditor.

The Clerk-Business Manager presented a detailed statement prepared by the Auditor, Mr., Jno. W. Prigmore, setting forth the following summaries of 19321939 appropriations:

Original Budget for 1932-1939 as filed with the Excise Board

Summaries of 193^-39 Appr'ns

105.76 * $3,14-1

The Budget as. approved by the Excise Board bringing the total within the revenues provided for the year

2,603,4-53.63

| ;

TQtal to be .expended during the year 1933-1939 if * revenues are realized

sufficient

Mr. Prigmore explained that based on the same valuation, tax levy allocation | Auditorâ€™s and State Aid allocation, $2,603,4-53.63, the Budget as approved by the Excise ! Explanation Bee. rd, would be the maximum that the Board might anticipate being authorized by the Excise Board for the coming year.

Discussion followed as to the available revenues for the year 1939-19^0, and Available an itemized estimate was presented by the Clerk-Business Manager, setting ; Revenues forth the requirements for expenses other than salaries at a minimum of ; Discussed $325,231.04-, and salary requirements on a basis of a $2,6.03,4-53.00 Budget and a $2,307,300.00 Budget. The schedules showed the lower figure, $2,603,4-53.00 would require a salary reduction of ten percent, based on present personnel. It was moved by Mr. Edwards and seconded by Mr. McKown that the Board listen to the recommendations of the Superintendent and Clerk-Business Manager with respect to the Budget and then continue the discussion if necessary. Motion carried.

' Supt.and Clerk-Bus. Mgr. Asked t< Recommend

The Superintendent and Clerk-Business Manager recommended that the amount of i Recommendathe Budget for 1939-^0 be placed at $2,307,300.00, for the reason that if tion of actual revenues .would not support this figure it would necessarily be reduced Supt. and to come within the available revenues, while the lower figure could not be Clerk-Bus. raised even if it was found that additional revenues would be available; and ! Mgr. in any event the Budget as filed was a tentative estimate and the Board was not bound tq individual items. Mr. Prigmore stated that while the estimated probable income for the ensuing ! Statement by year would be between $2,500,000.00 and $2,600,000.00, yet the Board would, Auditor in his opinion be justified in calling for the larger amount, $2,307,300.00, which would .be nearer in line with actual needs, and necessary revenues might be secured through favorable tax allocation by the Excise Board.

After further discussion, it was moved by Mr. Edwards and seconded by Mr. Rice that the Superintendent and Clerk-Business Manager be instructed to j figure out the actual number of teachers and other employees necessary to op- < erate the school system efficiently, and if reducing the personnel does not | bring the Budget within the amount available, then salaries be reduced. Mr. > Turner stated that he would like to have included that after the personnel i had been reduced in number, if there were any individual adjustments in salary les that seem equitable to go into that, and then if further cuts are needed j to consider .the whole personnel. After further discussion the motion of Mr. j Edwards was put to a vote and carried unanimously.

In reply to question by Mr. Rice as to the advisability of submittlmg the complete appropriation items and let the Court pass on them individually Mr. Lybrand replied that it would be his idea to submit border-line cases so that if questions were answered favorably on such cases the Board would know that the things in between would come within the law.

Mr. Lybrand was excused from the meeting at this time.

Mr. Richardson brought up the question of the need for proceeding with a building program and stated that he had been informed that there was a possibility of securing a grant from the government through a P. W. A. revolving . . fund, and if this could be done it would be possible to go ahead with the building program. Mr. Richardson stated that he believed that a survey of the situation should be made, not only for emergency needs, but a survey andiplan for the schools the city will need in the future; that is, work out a founda-

tion for a City of three or four hundred thousand population and then start on the things that are neeessary now; that the Clerk-Business Manager be authorized to compile this information and advise the Board what is possible to do at this time. Mr. Richardson further stated that he had also been advised that if the Board saw fit bonds could be voted for an additional amount which could be matched by W. P. A. labor and could be used to rehabilitate the old school buildings and playgrounds. Supt. Reiff stated that Dr. Bender of Oklahoma University, who was a recognized authority, was making such a survey as outlined by Mr. Richardson, this survey having been authorized by the former Board; and that the School District was getting services without cost that others were paying $13,000.00 to $20,000.00 for; that the survey was divided taking in building needs and accomplishment of students, but the building survey would be finished first and that Dr. Bender was far enough along to give the Board a report at once.

Dr. Bender Ready to Report on Survey of Building Needs

The Clerk-Business Manager stated that he had already had a conference with a representative of the P. W. A. Regional Office at Fort Worth as to whether the Board would be interested in carrying out projects on the basis of former applications, and questionnaires with reference to this matter were being prepared.

Clerkâ€™s Report on P. W. A. Requests

After further discussion it was moved by Mr. Richardson and seconded by Mr. Robinson that the Board recognize the condition of the lack of school facilities and go on record as being very much interested in doing whatever is possible to do at this time; and that the Board instruct the Superintendent and the Clerk-Business Manager to proceed in cooperation with Dr. Bender and compile all available information in order that the Board may have a basis upon which to act.

Lybrand, Attorney, and Mr. J. W. Prigmore, Auditor. Mr. Lybrand addressed the Board, stating that it was his idea to try to get before the Supreme Court the question of the validity of certain warrants, for the payment of which it was claimed there was no specific authority in the statutes, and there would be no way to do this except through a mandamus action; that it would be necessary to make a demand on the Treasurer to retire certain warrants and if he decides it is illegal to do so, his refusal to retire such warrants could be used as the basis for the suit.

Adopted

Mr. B. L. Scott, the newly elected Treasurer of the School District, appeared! Statement of before the Board at the request of the Board and made a very complete state- | Treasurer as ment in regard to his bond. From his statement it was evident that Mr. to His Bond Scott had been making every possible effort from, the time of his election to ! complete his bond, but because of peculiar legal situations there had been I certain obstacles which had made it impossible for him to complete his bond. From Mr. Scottâ€™s statement and the general Information which Mr. Scott had, there had been no objection from any bonding company to Mr. Scott personally j and the fact that Mr. Scott was Treasurer had nothing to do with the delay of the bond. From Mr. Scott's statement it was evident that he would have | more definite information by the following noon and it seemed almost certain | that the bond would be completed in the very near future. 1 The following report was submitted by the Clerk-Business Manager:

Attorney Recommends Approval of Bond as to Form and Sureties

Mr. Bonon Lee Scott, the School District Treasurer, entered the meeting at this time and after being advised as to the matter under discussion, stated that the old agreement with the Liberty National Bank was worked out by the bonding companies and the Board’s Attorney, but his new bond would stand on its own feet and the Liberty National Bank would make any arrangements the Board desired.

Statement by Treasurer as to New Bond

After further discussion, Mr. Knight stated that he wished to follow the law and being asked by Mr. Lybrand if he understood it Mr. Knight replied that in a measure he did but the fact remained that he and other members of the Board depended upon the Attorney to word motions and to take the lead in such matters; that he had absolute confidence in the Attorney.

Request for Opening of Playgrounds

May 22, 1939

Dear Mr. Miller:

On Wednesday, May 17 at a regular meeting of the School Playgrounds Federation, members representing the patrons of the various school playgrounds unanimously passed the following resolution:

"That the Board of Education be urgently requested, if at all possible, to open school playgrounds June 5 with a skeletonized staff. The skeletonized staff consisting of one supervisor with parents from the local P. T. A. unit to furnish additional voluntary supervision until funds are available in July to employ additional playground workers."

It was thought that under this plan all playgrounds could be open for the use of the children, and the whole program saved from the bad effects caused by not opening them at all.

1 j 1

Mr. Hersche.il Emery, Director of Playgrounds, has Informed us that this could be done fo,r approximately three thousand dollars which would include five hundred dollars for supplies.

The Federation is very cognizant of the financial problem which faces the Board of Education and sincerely hopes that by this method it will be possible to keep the playgrounds and swimming pools open throughout the summer. Yours, very truly, (Signed) Mrs. A. E. Lindley, Mrs. A. E. Lindley, President School Playgrounds Federation " Discussion followed as to the availability of funds for the purpose of conducting the summer Playgrounds and Mr. Rice asked if payment of summer playgrounds directors salaries and expenses of maintaining the playgrounds could not be included in the mandamus action which is to be brought against the School District Treasurer. Mr. Stearley explained that a warrant for such prupose would have to be issued and payment thereon refused by the Treasurer, to have a basis for such suit. Mr. Prigmore stated that there were some warrants issued in the summer of 193^ for summer playgrounds directors salaries on which payment had not yet been made and that any one of those warrants could be used as a basis of filing the suit.

Mr. Rice asked if the bond was written unconditionally and had no side conditions and Mr. Miller replied that it was written unconditionally. Mr. Knight asked if it was a Statutory Bond, as provided by law; Mr. Miller replied that the bond had been approved by the Attorney for the Board of Education. Mr. Miller further stated that he wished the minutes to show that the above resolution was prepared by the Board's Attorney, and its adoption was recommended by the Board's Attorney.

Statement of Mr. McKown

STANDARD ACCIDENT INSURANCE COMPANY, BY: (Signed) F. Wiley Ball ((SEAL)? !â€˘ F. Wiley Ball, Attorney-in-fact i

In the discussion of the Treasurer's bond and the resolution adopted by the Board, Mr. McKown made the following statement: "Just to clarify the matter, Mr. Lybrand brought to the attention of the Board this fact; That the previous Board of Education had entered into an agreement with the Liberty National Bank; a sort of collateral agreement whereby the Liberty became the custodian of those bonds. According to the statement of the Attorney, the law does not recognize the bank or anybody else other than the individual designated to act as Treasurer, in this case, Mr. Scott. Mr. Lybrand declared a weakness in that contract, pointing out that it has the effect of dictating to the Treasurer. No criticism is imputed in that transaction because it was done in an over-abundance of caution. It has taken a good deal of detail to get the funds back from the bank into the hands of the Treasurer who is designated by law to be the custodian of our funds. The resolution that we entered into the other night had the intent and purpose of first withdrawing that contract, then satisfying this Board through the Committee appointed, that the funds actually were put into the hands of the Treasurer, then Mr. Stearley released the custody receipts to the bank and completed'that part of the transaction. Until that had been done, Mr. Lybrand recommended that that bond not be approved. Now, having accomplished that other detail, he has submitted for approval this resolution which ratifies that bond. Is that right, Mr. Miller?" Mr. Miller replied, "Yes."

Mr. Miller stated that he would like to have a motion that would give authority to Mr. Lybrand to draw up the necessary papers authorizing the bank to cancel old custody receipts and request the issuance of new receipts under the present plan. Mr. Scott stated that, the motion should be in substantially this form: the old receipts be cancelled and new receipts be issued.

Old Custody Receipts Cancelled and New Receipts to be Issued c.o.

that

Mr. Rice moved that the custody receipts now in the hands of the Board of Education be returned to the Liberty National Bank with the authority for Mr. Richardson them to be cancelled and new receipts issued to the Treasurer. seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously. The following report was presented by the Clerk:

Board of Education Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

Gentlemen J The following matters are presented for your consideration:

MEETING OF MAY 22. 1939 (Continued).

Payroll Report

They are supported by verified payroll claims carrying proper authorization and approval and have been examined and approved by the Auditor. We recommend that all Separate School and one- ! half of the General Fund payroll claims now be ratified and approved for I payment, subject only to revision on certificate as to absentees and substitute teachers and that the Clerk-Business Manager be authorized to issue warrants for same, and. that the balance of the General Fund payroll claims be temporarily with-held for payment pending determination of available revenue.

Mr. Hisel made a motion that the recommendation of the Clerk-Business Manager Payroll on items 1A and IB be approved as submitted and the warrants ordered drawn Report as recommended. Mr. Robinson seconded the motion. Upon roll call all Approved members present voted "Aye”, whereupon the President declared the motion to have carried. Mr. Richardson raised the question as to the division of the Treasurer’s bond among local agents and asked whether it was understood without any statement from the bonding companies that the underwriters be designated by the Board of Education. Mr. Miller stated that if the Board took up this matter, it would be a long, drawn-out process and inasmuch as they were assembled for a definite purpose he would suggest that the members forget about the underwriting of the Treasurer’s bond for the present.

Action on Division of Treasurer's Bond Postponed

Statements After some discussion by various members and a statement by Mr. Edwards that by Edwards the Board would be billed for the premium on this bond and after all details i and Richardhad been worked out the Board would vote on the question of paying the premium, Mr. Richardson stated that he wanted the records to show that the son Board had that right; that he had heard differently and wanted to be sure that the Board was giving up none of its rights or prerogatives in connection with the division of the premium on the Treasurer’s bond. In reply to a question by Mr. Rice, Mr. Stearley stated that all salary warrants on all payrolls were being liquidated by the Treasurer out of the sinking fund, except the 19 warrants which were held and not registered by the Treasurer, pending determination as to their legality. Mr. Knight inquired about the salary claims for special labor which had been approved by the Board on May 1. Mr. Stearley stated that those warrants were still in the Treasurer's hands, but he understood they would be returned to the Clerk on Tuesday, May 23, and that he further understood no warrants for salaries on such claims would be with-held by the Treasurer.

! Salary Warrants to be Paid by Treasurer

Mr. Rice moved that Mr. 0. M. Schlosser be reappointed to his present position of Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds. Mr. Richardson made a motion that Mr. Rice's motion be tabled until the Board had the recommendation of the Clerk-Business Manager. Upon being asked for his recommendation by the President, Mr. Stearley stated that he recommended that Mr. 0. M. Schlosser be re-employed in his present position for the year 1939-19^0. Mr. Edwards seconded Mr. Rice’s motion and upon roll call all members present voted "Aye", whereupon the President declared the motion to have carried.

PRESENT:

Earl W. Miller, President J. G. Stearley, Clerk

Warren H. Edwards Edd L. Hisel Robin Knight Dave R. McKown Sam A. Rice, Jr. J. Wiley Richardson Al Robinson Roy J. Turner

Other officials present: Auditor.

C. K. Reiff, Superintendent, and Jno. W. Prigmore,

The meeting was called for the purpose of approving payrolls due June first, taking certain action recommended by the Board’s Attorney and for the transaction of other business requiring consideration by the Board.

W. A. Lybrand, attorney for the board, reported that the Supreme Court had called for response to the petition for rehearing filed by the defendants in error in the case of the Board vs. Cloudman, Number 26,736, and recalled the discussion of the law involved in that appeal heretofore had between himself and the Board.

! ■

It was thereupon moved by Mr. Edwards that the attorney for the Board i proceed to file such response, and that therein he urge the legal principle that the Board of Education of an Oklahoma independent school district, being i charged with the duty to organize and maintain a school system, is vested I under its general power to perform such duty with such Inherent discretionary j particular powers to make expenditures as it deems needful to the proper I performance of its duty so long as (a) it acts in good faith without fraud or ? caprice, and (b) as its expenditures do not exceed the estimate and be for purposes approved by the Excise Board; (c) are within statutory tax limits; (d) are made in the manner prescribed by statute, and (e) do not violate any express requirement of statute; and that in such response he urge that the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific protest case in which, for want of particular' statutory power, the expenditures Involved in the case now before the Supreme Court were held invalid, should be overruled.

Attorney Directed to File Response in Case of Board vs. Cloudman

The motion was seconded by Mr. McKown and carried unanimously.

The following resolution, as prepared by the Board’s Attorney, was read in full by Mr. Edwards:

RESOLUTION

RESOLVED, upon consideration of written memorandum of an alleged agreement between the Board of Education of the City of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and Ross N. Lillard bearing date April 26, 1939, purporting to employ Mr.Lillard, an attorney, in certain actions therein referred to upon contingent fee, this Board is of opinion and takes the position that the said contract is void and unenforceable; and, since this corporation has under employment, on salary, an attorney to handle all legal matters and litigations with which the district is concerned, and under such employment it is his duty to appear and represent its interest in all litigation in all courts, and it would be wasteful and needless to recognize or incur liability for duplication of services. NOW THEREFORE, such salaried attorney is directed to appear in the actions to which such alleged contract of April 26, 1939, refers and use his best endeavors and abilities in the diligent prosecution thereof to judgment, presenting the evidence, facts and law pertinent to the prosecution of such causes to final judgment; and

RESOLVED further that the Clerk of this Board be and he is directed to transmit to Ross N. Lillard a copy of this resolution whose intent and effect is to advise him, the said Ross N. Lillard, that the Board of Education does not deem itself entitled to his services under such alleged agreement, which it

C,a,

Resolution Declaring Contract with Ross N. Lillard Void

deems to be void, and that it herewith evidences its entire willingness, without responsiblility on his part, that he no longer participate in such cases or any of them, and that it does not recognize as valid but deems void, i and will not ratify or confirm the said alleged contract of April 26, 1939, * and denies and refuses to recognize any obligation to him thereunder, and ; that it will resist any claim which he may make for any services he may here- > after voluntarily perform in any such litigation, whether avowedly made under i i said alleged agreement of April 26, 1939, or as volunteer, and will further | | resist any participation by him, on any ground or theory whatsoever, in any j i recovery which may be made or realized in any and all such actions, and that J his further participation therein or in any.thereof will be regarded and i treated as that of a volunteer without expectation of compensation by, or j obligation, express or Implied, on the part of the Board of Education of j the City of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, to compensate him therefor,
