,venes three weeks hence. The project
is being carried out with the aid OF

SCHOOL TEACHERS
TO Be VOTED UPON
City Board Schedules Meet
ing for Friday Night To
Make Choice

Faculty of the Henderson city
schools will be elected at meeting
of the city school board on Friday
night of this week, it was learned to-
day from superintendent E. M. Rol-
Inns. He said the lists would be ready
for submission to the trustees for
their approval at that time.
1t is understood faculties have been
elected in the rural schools, with a
few exceptions though, of course, the
city board has nothing to do with
that. The local district boards in
the rural districts name the teachers
and principals and the County Board
of Education has to give it's approval.
This has been. done in every instance
where the lists have been submitted.
So far as was learned, there will be
few changes in the city schools. A.
ways there are a few teachers who
go elsewhere or retire for one reason
or another and such vacancies have
to be filled.
The city board is composed of nine
members, as follows: G. w. Knott,
chairman; M. L. Finch, vice-chair-
man; w. B. Daniel, Jr., secretary;
Mrs. Henry Perry, Mrs. S. T. Peace,
A. T. McNeny, DR.. H. A. Newell, DR..

WARMER WEATHER is
PROMISED TONIGHT
Moderating Temperatures Looked for
in Wake of Unreasonable
Low Temperatures

Temperatures moderated here today
after a weekend of unseasonal cool,
rainy weather with a promise of the
weather man that warmer weather
was in prospect for tonight and to-
morrow. Cloudy and possibly show
cry weather was promised however.
The cool weather has held back
growing crops and gardens but has
replenished the supply of moisture in
the soil. Moreover ii has made it
necessary for furnaces to be started
again in homes and business establish
ments to make them comfortable.
Overcoats were in evidence yesterday

for Utilities Power & Light Corp.
reorganization under 77-B of the
bankruptcy law has been submitted
to interested parties in the litigation.
Robert N. Golding. counsel for a group
OF debenture holders, said today.
Golding said his plan differed from
one submitted in behalf of Atlas Corp.
in that it provided for actual reorgan-
ization rather than what he described
as liquidation of the old company.
Atlas controls majority of Utilities
Power securities.
Golding's plan proposed disposal of
non-utility assets and some utility
properties in Newport, R. l.: Canada,
Kentucky. Oklahoma, North Dakota
and South Dakota, integrating the
remainder of the system in one con-
tinuous territory. To offset this the
plan recommended acquisition of other
utility properties around Indianapolis,
