three years ago, and Mr.. Wilbur, who
has served on the board before, was

pred term of A. A. Moore who, in turn,
had been appointed for the uneXpired
term Of i. A. Nicholson, who was

township consolidated school system,
the ticket favoring the consolidation
having won by a big majority. The
-consolidationists argued that
