Three Members Present At Board Meeting Quorum Fails
At a regular Board of Education session last night only three members, President Eckel and Messrs. Kanny and Melotire, were present. No quorum, so the meeting adjourned. The crowd delayed by Grant reception and minstrel plans, while notes mention a portrait of Father Rettley and oil by George F. Tanner. A water project at the race bank completed by 11 pm, and train delays tied to Grant events. Also notes on a clever compositor Mr John Duffy’s celebration, and a hog pen fire in Maryland with all but one hog burned. Baltimore mail train and Delaware train arrivals were late due to Grant-related travel. Includes advertisement for Dr Bull’s Baltimore Pill.
