WHY HE DID NOT SIT.
ONE MEMBER 100 MANY.
More CounciImen on the School Boar'
than the Law Allows.


than the Law Allows.
Tho result of the last municipal cleo
tion has produced what seems to be a
violation of the State law in regard to
the number OF councilmen who shall
serve on the City School Board.
The law--section No. 1527--says :
" Nor shall the number of members
Of the Council in the School Board OF
any city exceed one-third of the entire
number of the School Board"
The School Board of this city is com
posed of nine members, three from each
school district, and the Council may
elect three of this number.
The term of office Of three members
tone from each district expires every
wear. and their successors are elected In
the month of March at Joint meetings OF
the Council.
While the board has only the legal
number of members ut this time the
difficulty arises from the fact that there
are fonr councilmen on it-MesSrs. j.
G. Dickerson and William NJ. Turpin
from the First district, Mr.. j. Taylor
Stratton from the Second district. and
Major j. II. Capers from the Third dis
trict.
Messrs Dickerson, Capers, and STRAIT
tom were elected members of the board
while members of the Council.
Mr.. Turpin was member OF the
hoard when he was chosen an alderman
last spring.
The board, desiring to DO what is right,
passed resolution at its last meeting re-
duesting the City Attorney to advise the
body AS 10 its legal status He will
doubtless do so at an early day and the
board will proceed at once to adjust
itself TO the law.

Doing Considerable Damage.
A little after dark Sunday evening an

wire at some point in the city. This set
fire to the switchboard and parafiine-
wires in the central telephone-otlice.
The operator telephoned Superintendent
Thompson that he was being burned up.
Mr.. Thompson at once sent in bis sS-
nal. "10-l0," which requires the cleo
tric-plant to shut off its current and
then ran down TO the central office and
helped the operator to extinguish the
fire without turning in an alarm.
The loss to the telephone company was
quito heavy, one of their fifty-wire ca
bles being burned out, which interfered
also very seriously with the service in
certain parts of the city.
