Before the election OF member OF the
school board was taken up, Henry NJ. Hall
presented three petitions, the first calling
for the abolition OF the city marshal or
day policeman as a salaried officer, the
second for the election of Rev. P. A. A.
killam as a member OF the school board
and the third, addressed also to the school
| board, asking for action which will enable
the city to secure as superintendent
of schools an expert who can give his
whole time to the office. This would
necessitate larger appropriation for the
salary for this office. The city is now pay
ing $3.50. The petitions were accepted and
| laid on the table for future consideration.
