Examination of Teachers Post
pOned Until May

The State Board OF Examiners and
Inspectors OF Schools In session a
Richmond February End decided to
recommend to the State Board OF Edu.
cation that the date for teachers ::exami-
nations be postponed until May 8, A.
and 8, and In order that this may be
done, all first and second grade certlh.
Gates which have expired or vii | ex-
pire this year be extended for one
year without examination; provi lsd,
said certificate be endorsed BY the divis-
ion superintendent and the clerk Of
the district IN which the applicant is
teaching.
The STATE Board OF Education will
meet at an early date and 1t seems GER
tain will adopt these recommendations,
because 1t has been found that the
early date In March selected would
work great hardship on many teach
ers in the rural districts on account Of
the bad weather and bad roads usually
prevailing at that season, and the clo-
sing OF the schools so near the end Of
the school term, Also, because the cir
cular which the Board OF Examiners
had prepared explaining In detail the
requirements and regulations for the
examinations has been held up for m ore
than q month by the printers strike
and, therefore. teachers have not had
sufficient notice.
Full particulars will be sent out in a
circular from the State Board Of Rdu-
cation as soon aspracticable.

Electric Light Situation Cons
aidered by Council

midered by Council
The most important matte
before the Town Council at th
regular meeting last Thursds.
night was the consideration Of th'
complaints against the inefiicien
lighting of the town. The com
mittee on building and lights, thai
was charged on December Z, 1905,
with the duty Of reporting on tn.
question of "poor lights" furnish
ed by the Lexington Light a
Power Company, reported that
they had referred the matter "a
Town Attorney PsndlSton for his
opinion and advice. Mr.. PendIeton
submitted the following report,
which was adopted. and Clerk
McClung was directed to send u
copy { f the resolution embodied In
said report to the secre tRry-
treasurer of the company:
"Ths undersigned who was bp-
pointed on the committee to
investigate the complaints made
by a number of citizens of Lexing-
ton, in reference to electric lights,
respectfully reports that he has az
ahmed into the matter and finds
hatby the franchise grAhesd in
1909, which 10 an exclusive
franchise, the Light Company
was granted this franchise Cd con-
dition that it should erect and
maintain a plant of q capacity Of
not less than go nominal 1900
candle power arc lights, and 1900
10 nominal candle power incandes-
cent lights. The contract further
provides certain maximum charges
for lights. 1t also provides that in
went of the failure of the Light
Company TO furnish lights 16
candle power to supply the de-
mards of the citizens OF the town,
the franchise should be forfeited.
II have seen the agent Of the
Light Company and he, practically
admitted that the lights furnished
are not 10 candle power, but he
says that he constructs the franchise
as only requiring the company to
furnish 1900 18-candle power
lights and the demand being in
excess of this the fact that the
lights are less than 10 candle power
is no ground for forfeiture but for
business reasons he has recon
mended the stockholders to make
improvements in the plant. Ny
opinion is that, the franchise be-
ing exclusive, the company Is
required to furnish every one who
wants them lights Of 16 candle
power. Mr.. Hutton also stated
that the company is charging much
less that the maximum charge and
he thinks that the candle power Of
lights is in excess of the amount
paid by subscribers.
81 am OF the opinion that the
lights furnished are far below the
of the franchise,
sometimes not over one-third, and
that it lie the duty Of the council
to take some decided stand for the
relief OF the citizens, and recon-
mend that the council pass rSso I
luton that unless the Light Com
pany promptly takes steps to i'm.
prove it's service that the company
will forfeit its exclusive fran
chise." ~

FRIck MAY BE NEW
p. r. r. PRESIDENT.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 27-Henry
G. Frick, of New York and Pittsburg,
steel magnate and former partner of
Andrew Carnegie in the great indus
trial works of Western Pennsylvania,
may soon be named as successor to
President Cassatt, of the Pennsylva-
mia railroad. He took a long step in
that direction yesterday when he was
named a director in the company to
succeed the late Amos r. Little.
When Mr. Cassatt was quite indis-
posed last summer and it. seemed
that he was no longer able to strug-
gle with his old vigor with the vast
problems presented to the head of
that great system, the directors, it Is
said, cast about for a possible sue
cessor in the event of Mr.. Cassatt be-
ing incapacitated. They fixed upon
Mr.. Frick, who is the largest individ-
ual owner of Pennsylvania railroad
stock, he holding about thirty thou
sand shares and being closely allied
with the holders of as much more.
The directors, it is now said, were
assured by Mr.. Prick that he would
be willing to take the presidency
when Mr.. Cassatt relinquishes the
reins. Mr.. Prick has long been said
to be the oinstigating spirit in many
of MI. Cassatt's largest moves, and
it is believed that his election to the
directorate presages a higher posi-
ton for him in the roads manage
ment. He is regarded as the largest
stakeholder in the Norfolk and West
ern.
