Chickasaw school fund, which was due
to be made on November /. The dis

educable children in each. Following
are the counties composing this district:
Alcorn. Benton. Calhoun, C~bickasaw,

Lee, Marshall, Monroe, Pamela, Pom
totoc, Prentiss, Quitman, T~allahatchie,

his energies mainly to that great institutional

It is expected that the most important business
at the meeting Of the Aldermen tomorrow night
will be the gas question. An application for a
franchise, It is understood. will be made by the
Westchester Gas and Coke Company. This is the
corporation which is making such hard fight to
get into Mount Vernon. The company Will oner

made in Mount Vernon. which is rate or 81 70 a

lamps The price 10 consumers Will be reduced I'VE
cents each year until 81 gas is reached. The New
York Suburban Gas Company, which now operates
both the plants in Mount Vernon and New Rochene,
In New Rochelle 1t has reduced the rate TO 81 40 a
thousand and will probably come down TO 81 %
rather than allow a rival to enter the field The
only objection TO the new company is found in the
fact that II franchise is given 10 II the streets will
be again torn up. which means much inconvenience
and in many sickness from malaria. Mayor
Dillon says that he does not favor any further
excavation In the streets unless II is absolutely
necessary. At this session the Mayor will also
appoint three Civil Service Commissioners, after
which the affairs Of the local government will be
conducted on civil service basis
