[[inserted page - see footnote]]

Sir
Enclosed find a copy of a resolution passed at the last meeting of the Board of Directors. The Board desires to obtain complete control of the Union School Building and grounds, in order that they may controll any occupants which may be placed there. Please state wether or not such controll can be had, and for what length of time, and on what terms, and such other information as you may deem best to communicate to the Board. 

 It has been deemed impossible to enforce the rules and regulations of the Board in schools which are not fully in controll of the Board. 
An early answer is desired.
 
By order of the Committee
M L Andrews
