Oppose Buying Magazines by District Officials
The District Commissioners declared opposition to spending public funds on subscribing to popular magazines for high schools. On July 1, 1906, the board of education sought magazine subscriptions totaling 299.30, but the commissioners trimmed the list to 228.060. Commissioner West questioned the need for such subscriptions, yet the board upheld the purchase, arguing it falls within the contingency fund and is necessary for schools.
