 pr. McGovern BaII<s.
 LIT. McGovern'S opposition was based, he declared, on the book of rules of the board which he said stated that the board could not consider rule reVIs!on until the regular monthly declared the adoption of the rules ought to lie over until the November meeting. He declared that the action was entirely improper. The city at torney passing his opinion on the book or rules, and not on what took place at the last meeting when the rules of the board were automatically sus- pended to consider the rule revision and adoption, said that the action of the board was illegal
 Commissioner Wilson addressing tne board said that whoever talked With the city attorney had not been board and had not informed the at torney that through unanimous con sent the rules were suspended in order that the revised work of his commit tee could be considered at last nights meeting. "A lawyer of attainneots MT Wilson said, knows that IegisIa- tive assemblies have the right to make ana unnake their own rules. The acton tonight is in compliance with the deliberate request of the board. It seems to me that the city attorney's opln1on IS of no value to this board. 1"
 Slight Changes Made
 
 to adopt the rules was in order. Dr McGovern appealed from his decision ana III order to put the matter to noton MT. Wilson seconded the mo- Uon A vote showed that Dr. Me Govern and Howard Speer were op- posed and the remaining members of the board in favor.

More power is given to the superintendent; the board acts on his recommenda- teachers with the power of acceptance or rejection; six departments are ere ated.
 Supt. Too Busy.
 One of the changes in the rules was the bringing of the Department of Plant and Maintenance under the head of the superintendent, but MT. Cortright objected, declaring that he felt he would not like to take the additional burden of being responsi- ble for the upkeep of the schools. On his objection this section was modified to read that the Department of Plant and Maintenance was still under the direction of the agent but the superin- tendent has charge of all matters di- rectly affecting the educational inter ests of the children and on all other r6 of {c SD onsible.
 MT. Wynkoop recommended that the annual report of his department be submitted in the month of Septem- the change in the rules. MT. Cort- right recommended that his report be submitted in July instead of January as proposed.
