BOARD TALKED THE MATTER OVER

ONLY AN INFORMAL TALK
But il is Probable That the Question Will
Soon Be Taken Up in Earnest and
an Election Called.

The board OF education, at its meet
ing last Tuesday evening. had an in
formal talk upCn the question Of a
new school house but owing TO the
absence Of Captain Richards from the
city, no formal work was done to
wards setting the machinery Of the

the first of April As soon as be- comes
back 10 is probable that the matter

provisions made to erect building
commensurate with the needs Of the
city
Al Of the hoard members are favor-
able to the project Captain Richards
is favorable 10 all public improvements
in degree proportio nate with the
needs of the place Thus IL is practi
cally certain that something will hap

erection OF the building
The board, as il ia now composed, is
ideally made up for an undertaking

Senator Moriarty is one Of the most

the railroad committee he wields
much influence His rather corpulent
figure and unabreviated hair make
him conspicuous physically, and his
natural eloquence and ready wit in

Mr. Moriarty was born in Hudson in
1859 and was admitted to the bar In
that city in 1891 Two years later he
worked az clerk Of one Of the com

went to Crystal Falls, in Iron
