PEOPLE MUST DECIDE,
The Division of Wards In Allegheny Left
to Popular Vote.


to Popular Vote.
The special committee of Allegheny
Councils on the divisions of wards met last
night Mr.. Henricks moved that a sub
committee of seven members be appointed
to confer with the committee of the Board of
School Controllers that an understanding
may be reached on the question of the
division of school property that would
necessarily follow the dividing of one ward
wherein are several schools This question
was the only one that stood in the way of
settlement last night and the resolution
of Mr.. Henricks was offered to bring the
matter to settlement, not by Councils,
but by State legislation, and as the resolu->
tion was carried the question will be left to
the citizens of Allegheny in a vote for or
against a division of the wards.
The committee appointed was Messrs.
Henricks, Lowe, Einstein, Simon, Lewis,
Schondelmyer and Stauffer. The legal pro-
ceedings will be left to City Solicitor
Elphinstone. Attorney W. B. Rodgers
represents the Board of School Controllers.
No time has yet been set for a meeting OF
the two committees.
