In the light Of recent developments as
to thet School Board. and the action OF
the Ordinance Committee last night, lt
may be said with certainty that the
boundaries Of the school districts will be
made to conform to those Of the wards of
the city. Though much regretted .-a1s Will
throw Mr.. J. j. Bayley, the president OF
the School Board, out, he having been
elected from the Fourth Ward and now
being resident of the second.
At the meeting Of the Ordinance Com
mittee last night, a resolution was OF
fered requesting the School Board to
the boundaries the same as those OF the
wards Of the city.
The School Board has right, with the
consent Of the Council, to order a change
in the boundaries and at their meeting
Thursday night will have this matter
before them.
There Is a. general regret among the
members Of the board, and the Council,
at losing Mr.. Bayley as trustee There
is a rumor that one Of the trustees from
the Second Ward contemplates resigning,
and if he does, this will open a vacancy,
which will be filled by the election OF
Mr.. Bayley.
1t is becoming quite a fashion among
secret orders Of this city to visit sister
branches in Petersburg by way of the
new electric line. New South Council,
Jr. o. U. A. NJ, together with lot OF
members Of other councils Of Manchester.
visited a council Of Juniors in Petersburg
last night, leaving the station here at
Z o'clock and returning at a late hour
The trip was mad& over the road on char
tered car and a good schedule was main
| tanned Several other orders of the city
have taken advantage of the new line,
ano visited lodges in Petersburg. Already.
| there have been many picnics arranged
| for on the line, when the weather permits,
and a few more days like yesterday will
| suffice to make the travel increase very
! materially.
WHAT THEY WILL DO.
! Now that. the campaign is over and
| nothing remains for the people to do
save vote for the Democratic nominees on
| May ed. some talk Is heard as to what
| the Board of Aldermen and City Assem-
| bly, will do first. There are several
changes to be made In the city govern
ment. Possibly the most important and
| interesting preached as yet is the posi-
| bility of separating the two positions OF
| City Engineer and Chief of Police. giving
| the work that Captain Lpscomb now does
| to two Zen. For some time this ques-
| ton has been talked Of among Councils
men. and it is thought nearly all would
| like to see the change.
For presidents Of the two bodies there
may be interesting contests. Mr.. John e.
! Utz is now president of the Council, but
| at the primary the citizens of his ward
saw fit to elect him to the upper body
Mr.. Utz has many friends who want to
see him at its head, and they will urge
| him for the position 1t is almost ccr-
| tain that Mr.. j. R. Perdue will also be
| nominated for the position Mr.. w. B.
Bradley, who was reelected to the Coun-
Gil, will likely be its president. The two
| bodies will meet for the first time in joint
session, when the different committees
will be appointed and the heads of the
! two branches elected.
