BOARD WILL ORGANIZE TODAY
Kennard slated for Chairman, while
SOIOmOn's Place May Be
Contested.

The county board will meet today to or
ganize for the coming year, and according
to apparently reliable rumors current yes
terday afternoon NJ, ]. Kennard will be
elected chairman. He will receive the sup
port of Ure and Solomon, which with his
own vote will give him the majority. 1t is
understood Bruning will give his vote to
p. ]. Trainor.
Until recently Commissioner Trainor was
the only member who seemed TO have any
desire for the Craftsmanship and Il was gem
orally supposed he could have It, Recently,
however, there has been breach, which is
apparently growing wider and wider, be-
tween Solomon. Kennard and Ure on one
side and Bruning and Trainor on the other.
A month ago Kennard declared he would
not accept the Craftsmanship, preferring 10
keep his place on the floor, but since the
breach has opened up 1t is understood he
has consented to take the place.
Bruning and Trainor. it is believed will
contest Solomon's right to remain on the
board. Mr.. Bruning takes the position that
since Solomon has taken the oath and filed
a bond as county comptroller he cannot
serve as a member of the board, Mr. Solo
mon contends, however, that since Judge
Redick has practically declared there is no
legal office of county comptroller his quail
flying for that office can make no differ
ence in his position on the board until the
supreme court reverses the decision of the
lower court, when he can resign. In this
he is backed up by the opinion of lawyers
who have examined the case carefully.
The board will adopt a new jury list for
the year. In making up this list it has been
very careful to maintain the proportions
between voting precincts so as not TO run
afoul of a court decision as they did a short
time ago when Judge Troup quashed the
1907 list, The new list win contain 1,426
