Huntsville, August 22.-(Special)-
 Aldermen M. R. Murray R. P. Weeden,
 E. T. Middleton and J. M. Phillips, com posing the minority of the city council,
 have filed with the city clerk vigorous protest against the action of the ma a- jority in the election of board of edu-
 cation, dispacing the members of the
 board appointed by the Spragins senate bill.
 The protest in effect calls in question | the legality of the action. Stripped of l it's legal redundancies, the protest
 claims that the Spragins bill creating
 the old board is still in force and effect
 and that the city council had no right
 to elect another board. The instrument
 puts the minority of the council on rec
 ord as opposing the action and it is re-
 garded as the first step toward a con
 test in the courts.
