A CORRECTION.
The subjoined clipping is taken from
the Taylor correspondence Of a Scran-
ton paper in it's issue of Dec. 3:
The decree Of court when the borough
was divided into wards reads: Zach
ward shall be entitled to two councilmen
and two school directors, one Of which
.bon l,.,o fal n
years. Now some Of the school directors
elected since the decree was made claim
that they have been elected for three
years, and propose to hold over for one
year because "three years. was behind
their names when elected. If this be al
lowed, what is the use Of DEGREES of court
To prevent the further alarming
spread Of such faiiacious aiIan and ,na d IT.
cree Of court. we viii insert that
portion Of the decree relating to the cleo
ton of councilmen and school directors In
its entirety verbatim ct literatum:
"And it is further ordered and decreed
that each Of the five wards shall be enti-
tied to elect two councilmen and two
school directors, but not SO as to interfere
with the terms of those already elected.
And at the next annual municipal election,
Borough r % shall elect Officers as follows:
First ward-The qualified electors OF
the First ward of said borough shall elect
two councilmen, one for one year ana one
for two years and one school director for
three years at the next annual municipal
election to be held in the borough.
Second ward-One councilman for two
years and one school director for three
years.
Third ward-One councilman for one
year and one school director for three
years.
"F'ourth ward-One school director for
three years.
Fifth ward-One councilman for one
year and one for two years: ore SCHOOL
director for two years and one for three
years"
This is the decree as prepared by j. NJ.
Harris, esq.,, by the court on April Both.
1894. The first succeeding municipal cleo
ton, therefore. would be the one occur
ring in February, 1895. and the directors
elected at this election, except those elect
ed to fill unexpired terms, must neces-
sarlly be elected for three years In strict
compliance and accordance with the de-
cree of court, with the single exception OF
the fifth ward. In this ward there were
elected two directors; one for two years
and one for three years. In consequence
of this legal requirement there will be no
election for school director in the Fourth
ward for instance. Mr.. James Price having
been elected for three years.
Why the erratic correspondent should
glaringly misstate the law and the facts
Is utterly incOmprehensible.
