with two old members and two OF
the newly-appointed commissioners
in their seats. c. G. Sibley rendered
his resignation as president, but In
tends to remain on the board. The
changes on the board, together with
President Sibley's action. will cause
an entire reorganization which Will

when Mr.. Sibley's resignation be-
comes effective. The resignation
was accepted to become effective on
that date.

Mr.. Sibley spoke regarding the
work of the board, stating ne had
experienced a hard time of it and
that he wanted to step out of the
presidency to allow someone else to
take it. He positively refused to

was only after some persuasion that
he consented to act until next Tues
day night. He stated he wanted to
retire by that time to permit the
election of new president who, he
stated, could name the various COM
mittees. At the present time the
board has no committees, as the res
ignation of some of the old members

committee.
