that the body had been COny ened for the
purpose Of electing officers. etc, and that
any measures looking 10 a reduction Of

body separately. The Chair added. how
ever, that the caucus had nominated
those officers with the understanding that

argument cnsued upon tho Councils rep
resentation I'm that body. Mr.. ROuntree

not the law. that three members Of the

lNeiNs Inc fltHi.fIl IAIlalHtl ludN lilN
law prescribed that the Council might
have three Of It's members on the board.

For the other place upon the board
Mrssrs. George Med. Blake. Charles

ing upon tho eXpediency Of having all
three Of the Councils members Of the
School Board 20 come from the Board of
Aldermen. and the body eventually elect
al NJ. Briggs. who is a member Of the
lower branch Of the Council. In the course
OF his remarks In connection with this
matter Mr. Blake said that ne wanted TO
become "a member Of the School Board be
cause Of his anxiety 20 secure places as
teachers for worthy and needy young
ladies. lie said D, knew ttai there were
ono or two teachers in the public schools
