The 41-year-old monarch, an

FEARS ARE ALLAYED AS TO
LEGALITY OF RECENT VOTE
ON 9-MONTH CITY SCHOOL
Waters Assures Election
Entirely in Accordance
With the Law

Fears, expressed by several
Hendersonville people, that the
recent election on the nine
months school term in the Hen
Jacksonville district might not
comply with existing legislation,
were allayed this morning when
it was explained by F. NJ. Wat
ers, superintendent of city schools,
that the election was entirely in
accordance with the law.
Publication of a news story In
an ASheville newspaper of We'd
nesday relative to the situation III
Buncombe county caused several
people to inquire into the Hen
Jacksonville situation. In the Ashe-
vile story it was stated by Lloyd
Griffin, executive secretary of
the state school commission, that
school districts could not vote Il
nine-months term unless the term
was provided for the entire coun-
ty.
This ruling does not apply to
a district such as the Henderson
vile district, for the reason that
the district here is an admins
trative unit in itself. Henderson
county has two administrative
units, the Hendersonville city
system, which includes the district
in which voting was conducted,
and the county system, which IN
cludes the remainder of the coun-
ty.
According to the ruling, for
example, it would not be possible
for single district of the Hen
derson county system to vote on
a nine-months term. In such a
case, voting would have to in
clude all the districts in the sys-
tenn.
The Hendersonville administra-
tive unit, however, includes only
the Hendersonville district, and
the recent vote was conducted In
this entire district.

seemed there was rise in the
side of the ship just aft of the
engine. Long, thin streaks of fire
came out horizontally along the
side of the ship. The whole struc-
ture seemed to collapse.
"There was a muffled explo-
sion at the time, but no concus-
sion. There was another explosion
which so tore the tail that it
promptly collapsed and that was
followed by progressive fire. The
flames were a bright yellow col
or. 1t was like a dull explosion
and then the frame work parted
and came out in sections"
The possibility that propeller
blade may have been hurled into
vital parts of the Hindenburg,
causing the explosion and fire,
was brought out during Mays
testimony.
