SAFE, ATTORNEY SAYS

A successor to j. L. Williams, pres

probably will be named at the next
meeting Of the city school board. Fred
r. Angevine, county attorney. has ad-
vised the trustees that they have moth

brought recently by friends OF the pres

a new man probably will take place
within short time.
The date of the boards next meeting
has not been set. hut inasmuch as the
school election vote has not yet been
polled by tho board a meeting will
probably be called for Tuesday even

Though two months have passed
since the trustees voted not to re-em-
ploy Superintendent J. U. Williams,
who is now completing his twelfth
year as head OF the Missoula school
