able that the name Of Mrs. Howell!
will be presented to council for its
consideration.
At the present time there = not a
woman on the city school board. The
terms of four school trustees have
expired and council at its las' meet
ing it was expected would hold a

Five To Be Chosen Next
June For New
Form
s MONTHS TO WAIT
Believe There Will BE Many Who
Will Later Throw Their Hats In
to Ring.

Now that the election for the
government IS over the question al
ready being discussed is, WHO will
be the five cOuncilmen chosen in the
election next June? Names Of many
citizens have been suggested by
their friends as possible good coun-
cilmanic timber. No one thSu far,
has, however, made any forma! an
nouncement of their candidac.. AL
most all of those whose names have
been mentioned in cOnnecUor with
the contest, have declared it !" en-
tirely too early to think seriously OF
entering race which will mog take
place till next June There is cX-
actly eight months in which to wait
by those aspiring to the position.
Those in position to know de-
clare that there will be al abund-
ance of candidates for the voters
to pick from at the election next
June.
1t also is pointed out that it is
generally believed that the race will
attract more voters than the recent
contest for council manage" plan III
which only about 1900 votes were
cast with a majority of llGT for the
new form.
There are 3S75 votes persons quail
flied TO vote in this city and 1t IS gen
orally believed that most Of the two
thousand odd persons who failed to
vote in that election will participate
in the coming election.
Another question being freely dis
cussed and which probably will be
made an issue in the coming election
is the selection of the business mana,
ger. Many favor an out Of towr'
man for the place and thea again
there are some who are not opposed
TO local man. Doubtless this ques-
ton will play an important part ir
the June election and may be used
by some Of the candidates II then
campaign.
Benefits that may be derived
from the new form Of citT govern.
mcnt already are being discussed bg
citizens. Speculation is rife over the
result to be obtained. Supporters oi
the change predict geacral I'M
provement will result.
