MUST DRAW LOTS
FOR LONG TERMS
Luck Will Decide Four Year
Members of Berkeley School
Board and Council

BERKELEY, May 24.-Almost the
first official act of the newly elected
councilmen and school directors when
they take the oath of office July 1 will
be to hold lottery. The, eight coun-
cilmen and school directors are scratch
ing their heads and wondering whether
there is anything in luck after all.
They all wish their fellow directors
well and hope the others viii win. but
The lottery Will be caused by pro-
vision in the new charter which speci-
fies that two councilmen and two school
directors are to be elected every two
years, the term of Office being four
years.
Four councilmen and four school di-
rectors We're elected Saturday and four
will hold Office for only two years,
while four others will transact the
towns business for four years.
Just how the members of the new
city government will go about the mat
ter has caused much agitation, but has
not been decided.
Many are inclined to have the terms
written on a slip Of paper and then
draw for them, the lucky ones secur-
ing the terms of four years. and their
less fortunate colleagues the short
terms
While the matter will be each man
for himself in the council, Mayor Bev-
erly J.. Hodghead, taking no part be-
cause he is elected for only two years,
in the school board there is a different
situation on account of the presence of
Mrs. Elinor Carlisle, the first woman to
serve the town in that capacity.
There is a disposition, although the
members of the newly elected school
board refuse to discuss the matter, to
give Mrs. Carlisle the four year term
out Of courtesy. Others have opposed
this plan.
The members Of the council who will
draw lots for the long term are r. A.
Berry, Christian Hon, E. B. Norton and
W F. Mcclure; on the board of educa
ton are: Mrs. Elinor Carlisle, DIR. e.
L. Loring, Prof w. c. Morgan of the
University of California and Roy J.
