The opinion of the Boardâ€™s Attorney which was requested at the morning meeting was submitted, as follows:

Oklahoma City, Oklahoma April 13, 1931 Board of Education Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

Gentlemen: The Oklahoma income tax law recently passed by the Legislature of this State, among other things, provides:

"Funds available for distribution for the support of common schools shall be distributed to the various counties in accordance with existing laws for distribution of like funds, and thereafter, in determining the amount of funds to be approved for expenditure for general expense purposes for any school district, the County Excise Boards of the several counties of the State shall be limited by the laws in force at and prior to the passage of this act without regard to the amount available to any such school district from funds distributed under the provisions hereof, and from such total amount thus determined shall deduct the amount available to such school district from funds to be distributed to it under the provisions of this act, and after making such deduction shall compute and make the tax levy necessary to raise the remaining portion of such approved estimate, it being the intent and purpose of this act to reduce the total maximum mill-rate levy upon an advalorem basis in a sum equal to an amount distributed to any such district from the proceeds hereof." This one section appears to contain all that deals with the distribution of funds. Under the provisions of this section, these funds are to be distributed under the' existing law, and thereafter, the County Excise Board shall determine the amount going to each district and reduce the general expense levy of such district accordingly. Under existing law at and prior to the passage of this act, a school district or other municipality could not estimate for any one yearâ€™s miscellaneous revenue more than was received from such source the prior year. Therefore, I deem it expedient for you to make the fifteen (15) mill levy based on other regular revenues, and allow the new County Excise Board to make the proper and legal reduction, if any. Respectfully,

W. C. Lukenbill ATTORNEY

; To the Board of Education:

; Because of the resignation of Mr. Mace Spangler who was elected playground i director at Hawthorne School I wish to recommend that Mr. Bill Moore be elect 5 ed to this position at a salary of seventy-five dollars per four weeks for i a period of seven weeks beginning June 29 and ending August 14:

It was thought .that it would be possible to get along at Washington School with two directors this summer but the crowds are such that another person is needed. We .have always had three directors there in the past. ) Harmony is a new playground and it was thought that one director could handle j the children there but it has developed that we need another director because of the increasing number of children*

Due to the resignation of Mrs. Natalie Watson who was elected playground director at the Dunbar School I wish to recommend that Miss Vertina Sneed be j elected to this position at a salary of fifty dollars per four weeks for a j period of seven weeks beginning June 29 and ending Augsut 14. ! I also wish to recommend that Lucius McGee be elected playground director at Bryant School at a salary of seventy dollars per four weeks for a period of seven weeks beginning June 29 and ending August 14; this vacancy, being i caused by the resignation of Harlish Gear who was previously elected for this position.

Ed. W. Spivey, Chairman R. H. Price R. A. Bryant G. 0. Woodworth COMMITTEE REPORT OF CITIZENS INSURANCE COMMITTEE Your citizens insurance committee has met and investigated the present outstanding insurance and valuations of the school properties. Such investigation revealed the fact that there has been no depreciation taken on the properties since January, 1924.

Therefore, in order to arrive at proper reductions and depreciation factors we called into conference such men as Mr. Sol Layton, Mr. J. 0. Parr, Mr. Walpole of Dunning Construction Company, Mr. Leonard Bailey, Mr. Parker of Reinhart and Donovan, Mr. Gayle of Musson and Gayle, Mr. Hoyle of Bates Adjustment Company, and Mr. Price of Campbell and Price. These men in conference concluded that a depreciation factor of 22^ could reasonably be applied to valuations shown in the appraisal of 1924, and to the values of buildings constructed between 1924 and 1931- It was also the conclusion that .the three buildings now being completed, and which were contracted for in 1930, could reasonably be depreciated from the building cost at least 10$.

Adopted

Petition fdr Transportation or New Building for Wheeler Park District

On the basis of the above figures, your committee recommends: (1) That no fire or tornado insurance expiring this year be renewed.

(2)

That no insurance be bought to cover the value on new properties.

(3)

That forms attached to insurance policies be revised to valuations and attached to all policies, such new forms the new buildings which have been erected, thus causing expiring in the future years to extend over and protect buildings.

(4)

That all Builders' Risk insurance policies now in effect be cancelled.

That the Board of Education tender the use of such rooms as are now available at the Capitol Hill High School, free with heat, light and janitorservice for such classes as may be established to do freshman work at the high school. "b. That the Board of Education approve the arrangement wherein the instruction is under the supervision of Oklahoma City University. i

Report of Committee on Selection of Time Clocks for Central High

"c. That the Board also approve the arrangement whereby the faculty and principal of the Capitol Hill High School be held responsible for the administration, discipline and other items relative, to student management in the college work. “NOTE: In furtherance of the above plan, tentative arrangements have been made to offer the regular freshman subjects at a charge ranging from $5.00 to $3.00 per hour. This arrangement has been approved by a committee of citizens from the Capitol Hill district and also by the officials of the Oklahoma City University. The Board of Education assumes no responsibility for the collection of any fees or the disbursement of any funds. The credit which will be received by the students taking college work will be residence credit of the Oklahoma City University and solves at once the problem of credit value, which always becomes quite a problem for a junior college. From a standpoint of the Board of Education, this is not new because similar classes have been held at Central High School in the past, by permission of the Board of Education. The Public Librarian has given us assurance that they will establish in the Capitol Hill High School, in the event of this arrangement, a most complete library for freshman college work. "The above arrangement seems most admirable in that it brings to Capitol Hill the advantages of the freshman yeaj? and also brings to Oklahoma City University a wider scope of service." Upon motion of Mr. Woodworth, seconded by Mr. Miller, the Board concurred in the report of the Committee.

A letter was read from Miss Grace Hartnell, Executive of the Camp Fire Girls, expressing appreciation fat the privilege of using the Roosevelt Jr. High School pool during the summer. Upon motion of Mr. Bryant, seconded by Mr. Spivey, this letter was received and placed on file.

The Clerk read a letter from Mr. Ernest Thomas, Attorney of McAlester, Oklahoma, who claimed that the Board of Education did not have a legal title to Lots 11 and 12, Block 3> Finley’s Highland Home Addition, which had been secured through condemnation by the Board in 192$. Mr. Thomas stated that he had authority to accept $1000.00 in full settlement for the lots. Upon motion of Mr. Woodworth, seconded by Mr. Bryant, this letter was referred to

the Board's attorney for reply.

Board of Education Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

September 24, 1931

Reports of Supt.

Gentlemen:

In a recent meeting of the elementary school principals and supervisors it was unanimously agreed that the achievement tests be given at the beginning of the semester rather than at the close of the semester in order that a diagnosis may be made of each individual childâ€™s needs, thus making it possible for the teacher to place emphasis upon the instruction most needed by each child during the semester. No question arises concerning purchase of the tests, because the budget is set up with that in view.

Recommends Tests to be Given at Beginning of Semester

I recommend the use of the professional services of the University of Oklahoma in tabulating and analyzing the tests after they are given. The cost for this service will be approximately two hundred dollars and represents more than that amount in clerical service alone, not including the free professional services we will receive during the testing program and throughout the semester.

The citizens of Oklahoma City pay taxes for the support of the University of Oklahoma and are entitled to the free service which is offered by that institution. It seems to me that we should avail ourselves of this opportunity and other opportunities which may present themselves from time to time for the improvement of the Oklahoma City Schools. Very truly yours,

C. K. Reiff

Superintendent City Schools

It was moved by Mr. Spivey and seconded by Mr. Woodworth that the recommendation of the Superintendent be concurred in and upon roll call the motion carried unanimously.

Back Taxes Capitol Hill

At your June meeting, the School Board Auditor called to your attention the taxes on Block 23 Capitol Hill, upon which the Capitol Hill Junior High School is located, which .you referred to me for attention. I gave this matter immediate attention, but owing to the fact that the personnel of the County Treasurer’s office would change July 1st J I decided it better to delay action in the premises until after such change had taken place.

Today, I am in receipt from the Treasurer’s office of a statement showing that the taxes and penalties accrued to April Sth, 1922, the date on which this Board deposited the money with the Court Clerk of this County under condemnation proceedings in case No. 32745, was $S259»4O. It appears that this Board paid this money into court on April Sth, 1922, but that the same was not paid upon the taxes at that time. This matter was called to my attention early in 1927, and on March 31, 1927, as attorney for the Board, I secured an order from the District Court directing the Court Clerk to pay this money to the County Treasurer for the taxes due, and thereafter the Court Clerk tendered the money to the County Treasurer but the County Treasurer refused to accept the same because the penalties had accrued in the meantime.

It is now my intention to file an application in said cause for an order cancelling all penalties accruing since April Sth, 1922, and directing the County Treasurer to accept the amount due on April Sth, 1922 I have held a conference with the County Attorney, who, under the laws of this state, represents the County Treasurer, and he fully concurs in this and will render his cooperation. Respectfully submitted, W. C. Lukenbill Attorney

It was moved by Mr. Bryant and seconded by Mr. Woodworth that this report be received and filed as a matter of record. Motion carried.

The following communication was read: September 24, 1931 I

The meeting was called for the purpose of receiving the report of the committee to whom the matter of the disposition of 192S and 1931 Tax Protest cases was referred for recommendation, and for the transaction of other business.

The following committee report was read: To the Board of Education:

We, your Committee disposition of the not able to make a same is contingent

appointed to confer with the interested parties for the 192S amd 1931 tax cases, beg leave to report that we are disposition or adjustment of the 1931 tax cases unless upon a settlement and disposition of the 192S cases.

Report of Committee on Tax Cases

With reference to the 192S cases we wish to report that these matters are pending in Court with the cases no nearer a final solution than they were several years ago. Four main issues are involved in these cases and a case involving each issue has been tried by the District Court of this County several months ago, and no further action has been taken in the premises.

Your committee did not endeavor to compromise these cases but did seek the cooperation of the City and the County in making a disposition of them upon the basis of the District Court decision without the necessity of an appeal. We have not been able to do this and it is our opinion that no compromise should be made or considered at this time but that the Board use its efforts in promoting the disposition of the pending litigation by asking that the decision of the court be accepted immediately or the cases set down for trial and tried or an appeal,in due form be taken to the Supreme Court without further delay. We feel that the importance of this matter requires as early action as possible. Signed

W. C. Lukenbill Jno. W. Prigmore J. G. Stearley

It was moved by Mr. Dorsey and seconded by Mr. Miller that action on the report be postponed a week to allow the Auditor of check the County Assessor's records and bring back to the Board as much information as possible relative to the assessments involved and the probability of the amount the Board might recover.

3. Textbooks rented to students shall be used in classes and returned to the teacher at the end of the class period, except in case a student may wish to do home study. In that case, the teacher, using regular library procedure, will assign a textbook to the student.

Resolution Rescinding Tax Case Settlement Adopted

The following report was read and received and placed on file: To the Board of Education:

Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 'September 19, 1932

In Re Division Order Block S4, Shields South Oklahoma Addition. From information available we have computed the interest of the Oklahoma City School District in the above.lease on the basis of the City Ordinance creating the drilling district and on the decree of the district of Oklahoma County in Case No. 69791*

The original papers in the above case were not available at the Court House or in the attorney’s office, but we have examined copies of the

Report on Division Order Blk.S4 Shields So. Oklahoma Add.

journal entry together with other records pertaining to the property covered by the lease. A portion of the property, approximately 7 of the 44 lots, was not represented in the above action in Court and on the basis of the City Ordinance a one-sixth’s interest of the royalty on these lots remains in effect to the Board of Education.

On the remaining portion of the property covered by the lease the order of the District Court is to the effect that the School District shall share one-seven hundred and seventieth of the royalty interest.

On the basis of the above division of interest it would appear that the division order hereto attached granting the Oklahoma City District the amount of 1,291,343/%,325,55S one-eighth royalty interest (approximately one-twenty eighth of all royalty) is ample to meet the interest of the Oklahoma City School District as above defined. Respectfully submitted,

J. W. Prigmore, Auditor for the Board of Education Thurman, Bowman and Thurman By Byron C. Bowman

Approval of Text Books

Regulations for Night School

Dear Mr. Reiff: Complying with the Board's request that I submit to you a plan for conducting the Public Night School as provided for by the Board's recent action, I am submitting the following recommendations:

1. That the fee remain the same, $2.00 for two nights a week per semester and that $5.00 be charged for those outside the school district. The enrollment fee of $2.00 is the smallest item of expense. There are books to purchase and transportation to and from school to be provided for. In order to make any adult educational program effective in any community the fee must be such as to make it possible for the masses to attend. This is not the time to increase the cost of education for the masses. 2. By previous action of the Board, the minors who attended threefourths of the recitations during the semester, were entitled to a refund of $2.00. I recommend that this be suspended for this year. 3. In the interest of further economy, I recommend that no one be appointed to the principalship and that the additional responsibility be assumed by the Vocational department. This is a temporary arrangement and applies to this year only. From the monthly savings of the office of principal, three class room teachers can be paid for. 4-. That the teachers be paid $1*50 per clock hour as against $1.75 heretofore. This is a saving of 14$ over last year.

5. That the pre-enrolling for the first semester begin during the week of September 19, and that class instruction begin on the following Monday, September 26 and continue for three months. That the school be in session weekly in two groups, Monday-Wednesday and Tuesday-Thursday. That the hours of instruction be from 6:00 to 9^00 P. M. This plan has been followed for the past seven years.-

6. That the Director of Vocational and Industrial Education be instructed to proceed immediately with the organization for the opening of the Public Night School and that he be given authority to select the faculty subject to the approval and assignment by the Superintendent and the Board of Education. 7. That the above recommendations for the Public Night School program be the same for the separate schools, except that they meet twice weekly at Douglass School and that the pay be $1.25 per clock hour as against $1.37? last year.

Respectfully submitted, H. F. Rusch, Director Vocational and Industrial Ed. 12.

That Day Home Making classes be discontinued during the present year.

13. Election of Helen Nance and Grace Hardin as assistant secretaries at Classen and Central High Schools respectively, at $50.00 per month for ten months.

Day Home Making Classe Discontinued

Asst. Secys

14-. That the request for a school for the children in the NE-g- of Section 15 (east of Wheeler School) be deferred on account of the lack of funds at the present time. .

Request for School Refused

15Âť That the request of Mrs. Ada L. Sheldon to do private tutoring in Harding Junior High School be refused.

Total

In view of the amount of insurance to be placed compared to the large volume of business expiring, and in view of the dropping of expirations last year, your committee feels that a proration of the business to be placed this year among the agents who had business expiring this year and last year would not result equitably. Your committee also feels that with the distribution as above we have divided the business a little more equally than had heretofore been the case. By distributing in the manner above, we have given business to at least thirteen agents who -have never before been recognized. This would not have been possible had a plan of prorationing the insurance been followed. Mr. F. Wiley Ball, a member of this committee, is submitting herewith a minority report. Yours very truly, APPROVED:. M. S. McEldowney

Upon motion of Mr. Dorsey, seconded by Mrs. Poole, the report was approved.
