DAVIS SUIT ANSWERED.
Spirited Denial is Entered by the Es-
canada School Board.

canada School Board.
Alleging that the work of former
Supt. of Schools r. ID. Davis was i'm
perfect and inefficient and that condi-
tons had grown up under his manage
ment of the schools causing much dis
satisfaction and discomfort among the
students and their parents and guar
dams" the Escanaba board of educa-
ton has filed answer to the suit be-
gun by Mr.. Davis To collect salary al
legged to be due him under a contract
entered into and signed by a former
board OF education, says the Escanaba
Press.
1t is asserted in the answer TO the
suit 10y the board of education that
because the meeting at which con-
tract with former Supt Davis was en-
tered into for three years, was a spe-
oial meeting and was not properly no.
ticed and further because OF the fact
three years with Mr. Davis extended
beyond the limit of the term OF office
of any member of the board, the con-
tract is void.
II is further claimed in the answer
of the board that the contract entered
into for three years by the old board
of education is void and worthless be-
cause Of the fact that IL was entered
into by the old members of the board
of education for an unlawful purpose,
which was to defeat the wishes of the
people. expressed at an election held
one week after the contract had been
entered into.
II is further asserted i'm the an
swer OF the board of education that
the members Of the old board voting
i'm favor OF the three year contract
: with Supt. Davis were not actuated
with the idea of doing a public good
out to satisfy partisan ends and to
hold the school superintendent i'm Of
fee i'm spite of the wishes of the peo-
pie.
1t Is also alleged i'm the answer that
there was no exigency offered why
the contract for one year already held
bv Supt. Davis, should have been en-
tered into by the old board on the eve
, of its retirement and because of thai
fact the inference is drawn that the
t three-year contract was given to sat
f isfy partisan ends.
