Many people are a sea a. 30 the
reasons for makinR a change In the
board of trustees, which was dcne by
the Levy COURT last Tuesday, wher
William Turner and George X. Roberts
were bowlod oat. Both are said e
have becn candidates for reelection,
and as there was nothing against ths
official record of eithar, so far az II
known, the action Of the Levy Couri
was . surprise 70 many.
When MeasrB. Turner and Robertl
we're asked by reporters Of Every Even
ing Why they had been dropped they
declined to make n statement.
1t has been customary In the past &
allow most trustees to serve soveta
times, but recently changes are fre
quent. Not very long ago Isaac s.
Bullock and Edward IA Rice wer.
dropped Ia the same manner as wer,
those who were bowled out this tima
though both we're considered aa amonl
the most Interested members CT thi
board, both having given a great dea
Of time and attention to the work
The same 10 true Of the member
whose services we're dispensed with a
thiB time.
Mr. Turner served only one term il
the board, while Mr.. Roberts served
little more than one term. He wa
elected q member from Brnndywin
lhundred some years ago, but nfte
tbeing In the board about a year b
moved 10 Wilmington and resigned hi
bmsmbsrahip, and bis re-eleotion is be
pievsd 80 have been due largely TO tn
fact that he had acquired a reputation
eor particularly scrutinizing ever
f1tem OF expense, which also character
izsa other members.
Mr.. Turner, IL 10 said, was equall
lonreful, and his long service In th
Board Of Education aided him in th
performance Of his duties as a membs
OF public body.
