L BOARDOF SUPERVISORS
APPOINTMENTS MADE TO CoUN-
TY BOARD OF EDUCATION
Bid Accepted for La Mirada School
Bonds-Clerks Appointed to the
Board Of Equalization

The rule supposed to obtain-albeit
in practice a mere supposition-that
each supervisorial district shall be rep
resented on the county board of edu-
cation and that each supervisor shall
take his turn in placing in nomination
some one to represent his district, has
once again been observed in the breach
rather than in the observance.
Supervisor Hanley has not only been
denied the courtesy, but his district the
right Of representation for four years.
This year. by the grace of the board, the
Fifth district has had foisted upon it:
and over Supervisor Hanley's head, thS
| nominee of Supervisor Wirsching
| Yesterday being the day for the ap-
pointment of two members to serve on
the county board of education, the mat
ter was dealt with in a wholesale way.
Supervisor Wirsching put the following
| petitioners in nomination en- bloc:
| Riddell, city editor of the Record,
Principal Housh of the high school; Nc
Pherron of the high school; Principal
Lunt of the high school at Long Beach,
Principal Plummer of the Olive street
school; W. r. Chandler, principal of the
Burbank school; Quinn, retired local
teacher; Principal French at La Cam
yada school,; S. H. Chilcote, principal OF
the Sixth street school, on Maple ave-
nue.; Principal Williams of Compton;
T. Wright, principal at Newhall; Prin-
oipal Monlux of the primary depart
ment of the normal school, and Frew
another city candidate.
The board at once went into caucus
and after the merely formal proceeding
was over, Plummer of the. Olive street
school, and Chilcote, of the Sixth street
school, were declared duly appointed
Each one received four votes, while
Williams and McPherron received one
vote each Chilcote is from the Fifth
district but is an ardent Republican
and of course was put in nomination
and appointed without any considera
ton of the desire of the supervisor rep
resenting that district.
