In the Twentieth ward it will be
observed that six candidates are NOM
mated for school director. The Ken
nedy act with reference to the school
districts of cities of the second-class
provides that each ward shall be en-
titled TO six school directors. The gen.
eIal school act of 1854 provides for a
board Of similar size. The Kennedy
act has been declared unconstitutional
and an act Is now before the leeisla-
ture to have ii repealed. Allegheny is
operating under the general school law
of 1854. The voters of the Twentieth
ward have decided to elect a board of
six and be prepared for any twist
school government may take by reason
| of our going into the second class OF
! cities.
| Feb. is the last day for filing Cpr-
| tlflcates Of nomination from townships

When asked last night, by a Trib-
| une reporter what the probable ter
mination Of the Spellman and Jones
case would be Mayor Moir said with
| one Of his characteristic shrugs, I'D
| quite forgotten about that. Really |
can't tell what rhc possibilities are"
DO you contemplate any movement
| that will halt the piling up Of these
| unearned salaries? was asked.
1T isn't UP To me to do anything -
| said the mayor. THE case is out Of
| my hands. All that / can be called
| upon to do is to see that the suits they
| instituted are properly defended,
| am doing that
Have you any idea select council
| will take action TO end the natter?
| mo. | do not know what the counci
| proposes to do. / suppose, though
| they will be content TO see them pen.
sioned-for some service previously
| performed let us say"
