MlXup on F0tIClOnS.
This morning marked the opening Of
the last week for the circulation of Pc
titions for city Offices. The petitions
must be fled with the city clerk before
week from tonight and it is expected
that there will be many petitions filed
this week. There was no addition to the
list of candidates for councilmen at
large as a result of weekend activities.
A mixup as to the membership of
the board of education following the
re-districting of the city has developed
and the city attorney is expected to
make some ruling at once as to the
right of three members of the board to
remain in Office during the coming
year. Jay B. Glerum, former presi-
dent of the board, was elected from
the first ward and he is now living in
the sixth ward. George Klotz, who
was elected from the sixth ward, is
now in the seventh ward and George
Wallis, veteran representative of the
second ward, on the board, was re-
districted into the first ward by the &C.
ton of the council.

eve are waiting for an opinion of the
city attorney" said the city clerk
''The doubt as to just what the status
of some of the members of the board
may be has resulted in a delay in the
taking of petitions for candidates for
member of the school board. We do
not know just what will be done in
the matter"
Some Wards May Have Three.
1t was pointed out that some of the
wards of the city might have three
representatives on the board if the
! men elected under the old ward lines
were permitted to serve out terms for
which they were elected in the new
wards. Of course this would mean
that some Of the wards would have but
one member on the board. The idea
seemed to be that the men who have
another year to serve might be auto
