our relations have been entirely har-

That the school board feels a sense
of loss over the retirement of Mr..
Wattles is shown in the following res
olutions which were passed by the
body after his departure:
Whereas, Mr.. Frank D. Wattles,
who has been the capable chairman
of this board for the past year, has
decided to resign, as he finds he can
not give time from his business to
fill the office in the way he deems
best for the public; therefore, be it
Resolved, That in accepting the
resignation of Chairman Wattles, we
do so with sincere regret. As mem
ber Of this board he has proven alert
progressive and useful, and as chair
man he has been just and fair in his
rulings and action. At sacrifice of
his personal business interest, he has
given freely of his time to not only
the Board meetings but to every mat
ter of concern to the educational well
fare of the county.
He has ever manifested a jealous
interest in our schools, and his policy
of economy has aided. greatly to the
splendid financial showing the board
is now able to make. We appreci-
ate his many courtesies and generous
support, and our association will ever
be pleasantly remembered.
Resolved, further, That these reso-
lutions be embodied in the minutes
of this board, and that the county pa
pefs be furnished a copy for publica-
tion.
Respectfully submitted,
E. r. Conway,
Fred. v. Owen,
j. D. Cottingham,
Secretary.

board, under the law, had no authori-
ty in the matter.
1t is due to Mr.. J. V. Walton to
say that he does not coincide with
the opinion of the City Attorney that
the authority to have the charter pub
lished is vested solely in the city clerk.
Mr.. Walton who is an attorney and
a member of the Charter Board,
clings to the opinion that the Charter
Board had the power.
