ALDERMEN FOR
s MAILER
BOARD
Report Of Resolution for
School Appointments by
the Mayor.

There is understood to be movement
on foot among some members of Common
Council to have a resolution providing
for the appointment of a small school
board passed at Friday nights meeting.
President Of the School Board David A.
MCINTYRE is an open advocate of the plan
and the suggestion Of the harter Re-
vision Commission along those lines have
met with great favor.
1t is felt that the present board Is too
cumbersome. and that the small board
is needed above almost anything else in
the city government.
To wait until the Charter Revision Com
mission shall have completed its work
seems too long a time to walt, when the
passage of Common Council resolution
empowering the Mayor tolappoint small
board can be easily done.
There is known to be some influential
opposition to the plan.
