AS far as known only the most
friendly feeling exists over the con
troyerry as to who are legally mem
bers Of the local board Of education,
but the matter is Of such importance
that it is necessary TO go into court
and have it decided in order that the
acts Of the board may be within the
bounds Of the law
The question arose last night when
the board met TO reorganize. On the
first vote that came up after the Off
GERS were elected the president ruled
that the board consisted Of five mem
bers instead Of ten as it did before the
new Law was enacted. Lee Mercy
