Redeem Campaign Pledge In Not Responding

empt on the face OF the law, but even II
not, a school trustee is a public ofncial
and under the constitution no public or
ficial can hold office for a term eX-
ceeding two years, and this law In as
Stunning TO perpetuate officials in office
for over three years and over Ave years.
Is unconstitutional
Il have advices from the city attorney
and other able lawyers upon this subject,
and am satisfied that my position Is a
correct one and that 1t will be so demon
strated in the end.
I'm removing Messrs. shearn and Cade
from the board OF school trustees. their
terms expired on May II. and in their
removal l was simply carrying out a
policy and was actuated by no feeling
whatever against these gentlemen,
when l was a candidate for mayor i
took the position that Mr.. Kimbrough
should not be re-appolnted as superin-
tendent of schools for reasons then stated,
and that was one of the issues upon which
was elected. and his removal was simply
the carrying out of a pledge of the ad-
ministration
My recollection is that two years ago
when Dir. Kimbrough was appointed, his
| election was previously voted upon by
the board of school trustees"
