QUO wARRANTO FROM THE BOROUGH
Board Of Six There Follows tho Lead
OF the Two NeiEhboring cities.
Mr.. Burns Confident That the Local
Little Board will BE in Office on the
First Monday in JunG--No Oral
Arguments TO BE Heard in the
Supersodeas Proceedings.

Attorneys u. j. Reedy and I. II.
Burns, counsel respectively for the big
and little school boards, received noti-
fication yesterday from Prothonotary
Green, OF the supreme court that no
oral arguments would be heard in the
supersedeas proceedings which are to
come up next Saturday. This necessi-
tates the hurried drafting and print
ing of paper books presenting the ar
guments of either side.
Mr.. Reedy has taken no notice of Mr..
Burns suggestion that the Scranton
case be heard Jointly with the Pittston
case on Monday, April IL. 1t is not
likely, either so 1t is generally be-
lieVed, that he will take any notice OF
it.
Mr.. Burns expresses himself as be-
ing confident that the supersedeas, as
applied for, will not be granted; that
it may be granted with the condition
that it shall be in effect until June,
but that at all events, the Scranton
case must abide the decision of the
Pittston case. In other words, he is
confident that the board of six will as
sumo control of the affairs of the
Scranton school district on the first
Monday in June
Taylor borough, following the lead
OF Pittston and Scranton. has declared
for a school board war
AS stated previously in The Tribune,
six far sighted citizens proceeded at
the last election to have themselves
elected school directors at large under
the act of 1854.
AS soon as Judge Archbald's decis-
ion in the Scranton case was handed
down they proceeded to Tollow the ex-
ample Of the local board of six and
yesterday, through Attorney John NJ.
Harris, made application for a writ of
quo warranto to compel the present
school board of Taylor to show cause
why 1t presumes to direct the affairs
Of the borough school district. Dis
trict Attorney John Il. Jones is made
the relator in the case and the infor-
nation is sworn to by George l.. Tim
lin, one of the board of six.
The allegations are that the act of
1874 and it's supplements under which
the present board works, do not auth
orize the election of two directors from
/ each ward and that at all events this
I act is unconstitutional because it is
| opposed to the common school act oi
| 1854 and besides is local legislation.
! Arguments in the case will be heard
