MRS. YOUNG AGAIN
MADE SCHOOL HEAD
Oustirg of John D. Shoop by
Chicago Board Will Be
Carried to Court.

Chicago. Dec. 23-Mrs. Ella Flagg
Young was voted back into the super
intendency Of the Chicago public
schools to-day, after a stormy session
Of the Board Of Education.
Seven members refused 10 vote on the
ground that the board had no power TO
reconsider the election Of John d
Shoop. assistant superintendent under
Mrs. Young, who had been elected her
successor II also was contended mat
the four new members Of the board
named by Mayor Harrison TO replace
four whose designations he had en-
forced were not entitled TO their seats.
The action Of the board in removing
Shoop and replacing Mrs. Young viii
at once be challenged in court, 1t was
announced by the opposition.
Mrs. Young's failure 10 be reelected
two weeks ago by the school board
reused a storm Of popular Indignation.
Mass meetings were held and the
school board and the Mayors office
were besieged by delegations which de-
manded that Shoop resign and make
way for Mrs. Young TO come back. The
women's organizations. political AM
civic. were solidly behind the deposed
superintendent.
Mayor Harrison asserted that mem
bers Of the school board appointed by
him had voted against Mrs. Young in
an underhand way" He summary
accented the designations OF four which
had been placed in his hands when they
took Office.
Refusal OF the four 10 abide by this
action was the storm centre Of the
fight in the board to-day. The four
were in their seats before the meeting
began and refused TO leave. The new
men were forced to find chairs else
where.
Men and women jammed into every
available corner OF the board room. q
squad Of policemen summoned 10 keep
order remained in the corridor and did
not interfere, although until the latter
part Of the meeting, when the Young
faction got TO working smoothly TO-
gether, the uproar was continuous.

Shall We Extend and Inn
prove our Water Works
System.

The following address was de-
livered by c. E.. Dennis at the
Chamber of Commerce meeting:
Almost four years ago Clo-
Wis became the owner of the
water and light plant of Clovis.
This plant was paid for out Of
the proceeds Of bonds sold for
this purposes and taxes are
levied against all property in
Clovis and its Incorporated adj
ditions to pay the interest on
these bonds, and in time to pay
them off, yet only a few are
reaping the real benefits, A
great many who are helping to
pay for our water and light
system do not get any benefits
whatever. Water mains do not
reach them. electric lights do
not reach them, sewer line does
not reach them, yet they pay
Just the same rate Of taxes as
those who enjoy all the bene-
fits. Less than ten per cent Of
the people of Clovis are in reach
of water for fire protection, or
in other words, everybody is
paying their part of the tax for
a protection that reaches less
than ten per cent Of them. The
people who are fortunate enough
to live in that part of town ira
versed by water mains, electric
lines and sewerage system, can
have water in their buildings
for all purposes, can also have
electric lights and connect with
sewerage, and where fire plugs
are in reach can have protection
against fire. If their building
should catch on fire. a call to
central will bring a paid fire
department to their door with
hose to attach to fire plugs
where plenty Of water is handy

are helping pay the ia xes be
ing entitled to all these things
asa matter Of right and justice,
which is rea lily the most ims
portant of all.
The Insurance Companies
will only insure prop erty for
three fourths value, hence in
each case of fire even though
owner carries insurance, his
own loss is twenty five per cent
of the value of property. When
we consider the amount Of
property burned in the unpro-
tected part of Clovis in the last
four years, we cannot deny the
fact that the twenty five per
cent actual loss would more
than have paid the interest on
$50, 900. co bonds, so in summing
this matter up, and in conclu-
sion / say, without fear Of in
telligent contradiction, that the
extension of the water mains
and electric light lines, and in
stalling DIESEL engine, is 9
money saving and making prop
osition, and even if it were not,
we owe it to our citizens who
are helping to pay for these
luxuries to extend the same
fsvors to them. The obligation
is enough to cause patriotic citi-
zens to act, and the business
side of it should wipe out ALL
opposition.
The Clovis news. [volume] (Clovis, N.M.) 1907-1929, 1913-06-19

and the flames are soon extin-
guished- while if a building
outside of the protected ten per
cent should catch on fire about
all the owner can do is to watch
it burn and think about the
protection he is helping to fur
nish for the other fellow.
Under the present plan of
pumping the water for Clovis.
the fuel alone costs about 5000
per month when by installing a
DIESEL engine to burn distilate
or solar oil. the fuel bill would
be reduced to about $1OO per
month, a saving of about So. 900
per year. By extending the
water mains and Electric lines
over North Park, Clovis Place,
Liebelt and West Clovis addit-
ions, a revenue of about $500
per month or $4,000 per year
can be derived. By protecting
the same territory with water
for fire protection insurance
rates should be reduced in the
residence part of town twenty
per cent, a saving Of hundreds
of dollars each year.

these things;
