School Director Gannon's Illegal
Voting Prevents Kiss McChrones'
Election as Teacher--St. James
Bazaar-Sam Harvey's Case Crit
ical.


Our account of the school board
meeting on Tuesday evening was in
complete because of the fact that we
were obliged to leave before the meet
ing ended. When Chairman Pritch-
ard named Hunter Morcom and Can
non on the visiting committee for the
coming month the latter objected on
the ground that his term would expire
before the next meeting on account of
his moving from his district. when
questioned by Blake he admitted that
he had already moved, but was Of
opinion that he would not lose his seat
for thirty days. Blake objected to
Miss McChrone'S election on the
ground that Cannon having admitted
moving from his ward his vote was IL
legal and should not have been count
ed The school law was read on the
subject and was considered sufficient
ly explicit to sustain Mr. Blake's OBJ
lection and Miss McChrone's election
was thereupon declared invalid. 1t
was then decided to meet again next
Tuesday evening for III" purpose of
appointing a director to finish Mr..
Gannons uncXpircd term and elect a
teacher
