cannot be superseded without successors are
appointed. IL was proper TO ind cate TO the
CCmmissiCners the sense of disrespect which
the ex-trustees feel on the revOking of all their
commissions without previous consultation with
them, OF any reason assigned therefor. HI sub
mitted preamble and resolutions a. 10 the law
OF Congress; the implied censure cast upon the
late uu-tees by not retaining a single member
IN the new organization; their right TO know the
reasons for such ceDsure; their Inconsistencies
OF having been faithless to their trusts; assert
ing that they have exercised the most rigid
economy In the management of the schools: as
serting the approval OF the citizens OF the coun-
~ at their course In reducing the school debt
previously created in building new school,
houses, Nc. The resolutions were adOpted
unanimously, and copy, together with the
acts of Congress under which they derive their
powers and authority, was ordered to be trans
nitted TO the District Commissioners.
