the association for the redistricting of the

was as follows:
THE executive committee of the East
Washington Citizens Association. upon
careful consideration. believe that the time
has arrived for the redivision of the Dis
trict into school districts, SO that the rep
resentation In the board of trustees may
be more fairly proportioned to the present
population and We therefore respectfully
request the Commissioners to make such
redistricting. so that that portion of the
city known as East Washington may bave
two trustees. one of them an actual resi-
dent of the Northeast and the other OF the
Southeast quarter of the city
Mount Pleasant came last by her delega-
ton in belialfaof Mr.. W. L. Coles appoint
ment. The committee consisted of Judge

The gentlemen placed their appeal upon
the grounds that the appointment would
not only be a personal favor to the citizens
of Mount Pleasant but would serve the
schools by placing in the board man emf
nently qualified, and one who will give
school interests an intelligent consideration
and attention.
