Final Meeting Of Boards Comprising
 Retiring Officials

AS the Farmer goes to press this afternoon the final meeting of the present board of fire commissioners is being held. This is the last meeting during this administration at which President Dwight c. Wheeler will pre- side or attend as a member.
 President Wheelers place on the board is to be taken by George Burns. This afternoon President Wheeler and Commissioner Hartigan inspected an addition which has been built to No. 1 house. The addition is but one story high, but it can be raised to three stories if necessary. When completed it win have a cement floor and will be used to store a steamer or an automobile as occasion re- quires. >
 There are no appointments to be made, and beyond tn eapproval of the budget and the transaction of routine business there is nothing of moment to come before the commissioners.
 This week will mark the final meet EngS of a number of the city boards, and the farewell appearance during this administration at least, of a num- Der of well known citizens who have served on city commissioners during the past two years.
 Tomorrow evening the final meet ing of the board of charities will be held. Commissioners James F. Som 
 B. Foster will resign and Commis- sioner F. William Behrens, Jr., whose term expires also has been named to fill the unexpired term of Commis- sioner Foster which runs to Jan. 31, 1912. Rev.

Hallen and Commissioner c. D. s. Miller are to retire. They will be succeeded by Lou P. Bristol and George s. Hill. The final meeting of the board of health was held several days ago. Commissioners George W. Osborn and Frank G. Bogart retire. They are to be succeeded by Dr. David M. Ire 'cartin and pr. William J. McLaugh- lin.
 The first meeting of the new health board will be held on the evening of Jan. 12 for organizat tion.
 The annual meeting of the board of education was held in November.

BOARD OF EDUCATION BUSY WITH BUDGET AT
 MEETING THIS EVENING

Unless the board of education finds it's work in preparing it's budget for the board of apportionment unexpect- edly easy, it is unlikely that any but this matter will be discussed at the special meeting called for this even ing.
 Lying on the table awaiting dis posal are the several resolutions in- troduced by A. E. Veness, the com missioner whose resignation is ex- pected soon, one having to do with the members of the board furnishing supplies and material for the use of the board. Another matter due for discussion is the petition of the teach CTS association for the establishment of a single maximum wage of $90O, instead of the varying maximums now in use.
 It is not expected that any action will be taken tonight towards settling upon the site for the new high school.
