 there is a great deal of rough work to be done leads him to believe that it will take until the spring to com- plete the job.
 Near the Pines
 The new field and courts will be located, as far as the basic plans show at the present time, near that section of the park known as "the pines." This section is located north- esSt of the new. bowling greens which were opened last summer.
 The news that q new baseball and football field will be ready in a year at Fulton park and that there will bts nine tennis courts ready for play by that time doubtlessly brings joy tu a great number of followers of the sport.
 Fans Pleased
 Plans for this project have been in the process of formation for some time, it is believed, and the an- nouncement today appeases the ap- petites of the most rabid sport fans. The tennis court project appears to be the result of the demand in this respect for, new courts in the city, Last year six new courts were opened at the park and they were crowded all during the year. The setting up of nine extra courts will go a long way towards solving that

"
Raleigh, March ia small group,
not exceeding five and possibly as
small as three, on the House Calendar
Committee killed any prospect for a
100000 bond issue to improve and
maintain the States secondary roads.
This small group reported unfavor-
ably the Holstead bill, passed by the
Senate, to authorize such an issue A
House vote of SIS to AZ was not suf-
ficient to override the committee re-
port, as two-thirds majority was re-
quired.
After the result there was more
than little private discussion among
members over the advisability Of re-
vising House rules so that only a ma
jority vote is needed to secure con-
sideration of a bill unfavorably re-
ported by the calendar Cor any five
member) committee.
The present rule is based upon the
principle that big margin ought to
be required in the case Of bills which
have not secured even a minority re-
port from committee. It is pointed out
however, that it requires the signature
Of three committee members to get
minority report. And three is a ma
jority of the calendar rommittee, from
which, consequently, there can be no
minority report.
The molten to place the bill on the
calendar was made by Road Commit
tee Chairman Con c.. Johnston. of
Iredell, whose group would normally
have considered the measure had it
been passed earlier by the Senate.

CHANGE PLANS FOR
ELECT|NG TEACHERS

Final Say If Local Dead

Daily Dispatch Bureau,
I'm the Sir Walter Hotel

Raleigh. March 19.-The district
committeeman and the principals of
the various schools will have the chief
say-so in the nominating and electing
Of teachers, if the House approves the
amendment added to the school ma
chinery bill Ky the Senate Thursday,
after recalling the bill from the House
to amend the section dealing with the
election of teachers. The House is ex-
pected to concur in this amendment.
AS passed by the House, the school
machinery bill provided that the coun-
ty superintendent should nominate
and the district committees elect the
teachers for each school, subject to
the approval of the county boards of
education, with the county boards
having full authority to make a selec-
ton in case of any disagreement be-
tween the superintendent and the To-
cal committees.
Strong opposition to this plan was
expressed when the bill was in the
Senate, with the result that it was re-
called and amended SO that the local
committees will select the principals,
then thep rincipals will nominate and
the local committees elect the teach
ers, subject to the approval of the
county or city superintendent and the
county or city board Of education. If
the principal and school committee
for any school are unable to agree, the
question of selecting the teachers
shall be appealed direct to the State
superintendent of public instruction in
Raleigh, who will then name and GER
tify the teacher or teachers to be en-
plOYed.
