has for "A long time taken a deep interest
in school buildings and is the architect OF

has been pronounced ono OF the best

Hance's message to TIE S'udehtS anu

The policy of consolidation OF rural
school districts is n step forward, but In
carving this policy into effect IT Is I'M
pcrstivc To erect buildings that arc abso-

To secure this result | suggest The adoI~

Gscd in ncighhorlng States, somewhat
modified perhaps to fit our particular
needs and local conditions.

be provided in space twelve square i"ct
and two hundred cubic feet per pupll-

ot fresh air equal TO thirty cubic ieet per
minute Ter pupil

Mr.. Garrett then moved for a post
ponement. explaining that 10 was the
FIRST opportunity he and the other at
torneys had to read the complaints,
and under the State laws the charges
made I'm the bill-dercliction OF duty
and malfeasance-wer indictable and
serious charges. This contention was
likewise made by Mr.. lsaacs, attorney
for Commissioner Isaac. Councilman
Robertson stated that the defendants
were entitled to a postponement. Mr..
Garrett suggested two weeks, but this
was opposed by C0uncils Mr.. Robert
son stating that the public, especially
the riding public, is anxious for the
matter TO be concluded.
The charges filed by Council against
the Board Of Public Utility Commits
sioners grew out OF the commissioners
granting the Wilmington and Philadel-
phia Traction Company permission TO
increase fares. and had been laid over
from last week owing to the absence
Of Josiah Marvel, counsel for Richard c.
McMullen, former president of the COM
mission whose term Of Office expired on
Wednesday Of this week.
Among those in Council chambers
when the matter was brought up were
Deputy A'torney-General p. w. Green.
Colonel Wellc- f. Stover, and other
state and city officials as we'll as
scores OF citizens.
The bill Of particulars, which was
presented by councilman Robertson and
ordered spread on the minutes, is as fol-
lows:
"The Council OF the Mayor and Coun-
Gil OF Wilmington files the following
bill OF particulars, constituting and COM
posing the impeachment charges for
and non-feasance and gen

from five TO seven cents for one ride.

city Of Wilmington 10 wit:
First. That the said Board OF
Utility Commissioners, as composed on

Second. That said Board Of Public

two Of the commissioners who are
charged with malfeasance and derelic-

the proceedings on the ground that
Council had no jurisdiction in the mat
ter. The motion was put to an aye and
nav vote Of Council by President Lyon
The motion 10 dismiss was voted down.
Mr.. GARRETT then asked to have
charges dropped, contending that at
torneys for the accused commissioners
had not been furnished copies Of the
bill OF complains. Mr.. Robertson re-
Piled that he would supply them after
one Of the bills had been read. Follow
