No Decision Reached on Whether
There Shall Be School Primary.
GRADING WORK EXCTTEs COMMENT
Much Speculation Exists 49, 90 Mean
ina of Operations that Are Going
on Between q and p
streets.

The question whether there shall be
urinary and election this spring for the
school board has been the result Of con-
ferences between the city attorney and
CITY Clerk Good. but so FAR no definite
opinion has been given out Mr.. Good
found the law in the statute so indefinite
that he consulted City Attorney Murphy.
In the city clerks view there is nothing
requiring a primary, but whether he will
be sustained in this point by the legal de-
partment Of the city remains 10 be seen.
No matter how the legal proposition Is
decided the interest is growing in the con-
test for election to the school board.
May He Power House site.
The grading work between o and p
streets is proceeding rapidly on both the
east and west sides of the streets, owing
to the open weather. Various rumors are
current as to what the object OF the work
is. but so far those interested will not
disclose their intentions. There Is still
feeling that a hospital, whose erection was
denied some months ago, will be erected on
the Koutsky property on the east side Of
the street and the statement was made yes
terday that the ground being leveled on the
opposite side Of the street had been &C
quired by the street railway company as
site for a powerhouse. Nothing definite.
however, could be learned.
