DEMAND REMOVAL OF
SCHOOL TRUSTEES
Taxpayers of District Petition Board
of Public Instruction.

A petition was presented to the
county board of public instruction
yesterday by taxpayers of district No.
and patrons of the Roberts Gonzalez
school demanding the removal of the
trustees of the special tax district,
who are r. P. Wilder. A. G.. Hudson
and J. G.. Grice. for alleged failure TO
properly perform the duties of their
office. The petition was presented by
w H. Watson, attorney for a commit
tee of citizens and taxpayers of dis
trict No. 5.
The petition sets forth that on
March "a, 1921, the resignation of the
trustees was requested, and that so far
only one, A. G. Hudson. has so resign
ed. Therefore, a meeting of the pa
irons of the school in the district was
held on Wednesday, April 6, and a
committee consisting of r. F. Bradley,
NJ. o. Baggett and T. L. Barrineau,
was appointed to present the matter
to the county board.
The trustees are charged with pre-
senting a statement for 1925 for a
stereopticon for the James NJ. Tate
agricultural school be paid from the
funds of the district. The statement
was presented in the name of the
Gonzalez Trading Co, of which Mr.,
Wilder is owner, according to the petit
ton, and Mr.. Wilder is specifically
named.
The petition further states that the
patrons of the district had subscribed
and paid over to Mr.. Wilder 1925 for
the purchase of a stereopticon. The pc
titioners say they do not know now
much knowledge, if any, the remain
ing members of the board of trustees
had of these facts beyond the one of
the donation of $l25.
Further charges against Mr.. Wilder
are that he has assumed too much
authority in the conduct of the Ttate
school. particularly with interfering
with the teachers in the performance
of their duties. The petition concludes
with demand for the removal of the
entire board of trustees.
