This action was taken by the retiring
board last night and was ratified later at
a meeting of the new board.
The retiring board met at II O'Clock last
night, and realizing that it was leaving
things in an almost hopeless muddle,
magnanimously declared the further va
cation in order to let the new board get
things in working order The board then
adjourned sine die, amid general ex-
change of compliments and a mutual ad-
miration society was held in the rooms
until about 1920 a m, when the new
board filed into the seats vacated by the
old.
This meeting was called to order by SUI
perintendent Webster and on motion
nominations were made and P. A. Ber-
gerot unanimously elected president in
accordance with the caucus helu at noon.
The next action of the board brought
light to combination, which evidently
intends to have things its own way.
James A. Simpson was placed in nomi-
nation for secretary. but Director Stafford
objected and moved that he be required
to show references from former employ
ers. Directors HolbroOk and Eells agreed
with Mr.. Stafford, saying that they had
heard ugly stories regarding the manner
in which his connection with a bank and
also an insurance Office was severed.
Their words had little weight, however
