The piece accuses the Board of Education of wasting public assets through long leases to favored bidders. Trustee O A Thorp disputes misrepresentation and urges straight ninety nine year leases without revaluation for key downtown lots in block 142. He cites losses estimated at 10 to 15 million dollars and calls for fair valuation and new leases with proper compensation.

The Abstract Trust and County Governance Debate
A long column argues the county board should curb the Chicago Title and Trust abstract monopoly and safeguard public records. It notes a $200,000 appropriation, political maneuvering, and calls for reform while reporting on local elections, real estate sales, and a push for municipal power from the Drainage Board.
