Council Last Evening; Sur
prise is Complete; Council
NOW Looking for a Successor

Mayor Otto Ohmstede last evening
rendered his resignation to the city
council giving as his reason for re-

The city council took no action last
evening futher than to receive the
resignation and express regrets that
the mayor is to leave.
The four other members will ap-
point successor and their decision
will probably be arrived at before the

ness mems ticket, which was compos-
ed of himself and Messrs. Pitzer and
Travers. Numerous plans for public

TO THE VOTERS OF
 INDEPENDENCE co.
SERIOUS THOUGHT SHOULD BE GIVEN SELECTION OF NEW
 BOARD OF EDUCATION

The last General Assembly passed an act creating County Board of Education in every county in the State. This Board is to be composed of five members not more than two of which may be from any one polit- ical township.
 These Board members are to be el- ected at the regular May schol el- ection. The chief duties of this Board will be to elect a County Su- perintendent, and to discharge the du- ties heretofore developing on the county court pertaining to school mat ters. and generally to direct and look after the school affairs of the county. The County Board will also establish standards of the work for the schools.
 The law provides that the County Board elect County Superintendent at it's regular meeting in June-the second Saturday-in the same man. her that local school boards elect teachers or superintendents. No per son will be eligible to the position of County Superintendent who does not hold a Professional license or one of higher rank, and who has not had at least one years professional train ing or it's equivalent. The duties of the County Board of Education with reference to the schools are only su- pervisory and do not conflict in any way with the duties of the local school 1 board
 The teachers of the county have suggested twelve men as candidates for this important office. You will vote for five and we trust you will select five who know rural affairs and have an interest in the development of our rural communities. The fol- lowing is the ticket.
