Despite reports that the two republican
members of the school board have made
a tieup with A. w. Schneider, q democratic
member, much to the latter's advantage,
the matter is not at all settled. 1t Is said
that there is much doubt as to the final
agreement of the two republicans to hand
over all the patronage said to have been
demanded by Schneider as sic qua non
for the transfer of his allegiance. Soma OF
the old board. II has been said, would
agree to align themselves with the new
members for a much less consideration II
the reported demands of Schneider be cor.
rect there remains nothing of PATRONAGE
to the new members except the appointment
OF the board attorney. MIR. Schneider n
said to have demanded the right to appoint
the secretary OF the board, the chief en-
gineer, the head carpenter and half of the
janitors. Added to this Is his claim to the
presidency of the board. In view of these
reported demands 1t is not improbable that
Mr.. Yechout. the present chairman Of the
board, might be continued In the prSsi-
dency.
