The committee also will ask the board
to vote in opposition to the Commits
sioners recommendation that the mem
bers of the board of children's guar
dians be appointed by the Commission
ers and not selected by committee
consisting of the two judges of the

At the meeting of the committee on
charities and corrections william Nick
Clayton called attention to the fact
that almost every civic organization in
the city has expressed its opinion with
regard to the Commissioners plan for
abolishing the board of education, but
that TO his knowledge no organization
had considered their recommendation
with regard to the abolition of the
board of charities. The board of edu-
cation, he said, disburses about So
900, 900 annually: the board of chart
ties about $l,500.000. Little or no in
terest has been evidenced in the pro-
posed change in the supervision of
charities, notWithsta nd;ng the great
Importance of the office and the large
amount of money over which it has
supervision, Mr.. Clayton said.
