Our school board is having more
IMAM Its share of trouble these days.
Last week their superintendent sud
denly resigned and left very little
time in which to secure a capable
person and now they have a law
suit on their hands. In order to ia
cllitate the handling of the children
1T was decided Necessary to move the
Third ward school building up to St.
Joe st. Immediately an injunction
was secured by Joe Deranleau and
.. Z. Snyder who do not want the
school house in their vicinity. We
understand residents of the third
ward are loud in their complaints
because the school cannot remain
where it is. The board gets it from
both sides and the case is now in
court.
