Morris of, defunct Union National Bank; In th First Bank building, for the payment of a dividend of 15 per cent to depositors and creditors on their original Indebtedness. The checks, which have been re ceived from the treasury department al Washington, be distributed Immediately upon the presentation of receiver's certificates.

After the payment of this dividend, which Is the fourth, creditors of ttie bank will have received a total of 85 per cent of their claims. In explanation of the delay in making this distribution, Morris stated today that In all such cases the bank has certain assets which can be realized upon and distributed In comparatively short time, as was done in this case. "After this the assets which remain are of such character that It Is Impossible to sell the same quickly without such heavy loss as to render full payment doubtful," said Morris. "Real estate claims In litigation and questionable or discredited assets, such as Industrial bonds, have to be worked out slowly, and It Is aways the policy of the treasury department to delay final payment. If necessary, to pay creditors in full, rather than sell at an unreasonable sacrifice In order to pay portion of claims more quickly.

While a creditor for $10 might naturally prefer to. collect 60 or 70 per cent of his claim promptly and lose-the balance, yet such proceedings would be utterly winfalr to the creditor for $10,000, and an must be treated exactly alike." Morris Is of the opinion that by pursuing this policy he will be able eventually to pay creditors of the Union National In full, and probably with some Interest. While he can make no' promises as to' when this can be accomplished, since It depends largely upon the results of certain suits now in court and unon his ahil lty to sell unimproved real estate at a fair price, he Is hopeful that no such delay will be necessary, in making the final payment as has occurred In declaring; the Dresent aiviaena.

Ths policies Initiated and developed under his administration have been and are bringing about an educational feondltlon of a superiority heretofore unexisting. The city of Berkeley takes pride in the fact that what the United States Commissioner of Education calls "The Berkeley Plan of Echool Administration" has met with tho highest" commendation of the educational experts of the country; that many cities in the United States have recently adopted the same plan or plans similar thereto; and that this plan In particular has been endorsed by the Bureau of Municipal Research established on the Russell Sege Foundation and pamphlets explaining the" plan distributed by that bureau to the school authorities "la all parts of tho country." Any breach In the continuity and development of this plan, which Is placing our schools on the highest plane of organization and efficiency and giving to Berkeley a national distinction as the exponent -of ths soundest and most progressive policies, would he a serious and deplorable misfortune to the city of Berkeley.

The failure to retain the Benices of the educational expert, the able -organizer-andefflclent. administrator, Frank F. Bunker, who has developed this system and brought this renown to our city would be nothing short of the most flagrai folly.

Further action by Councilman Wilson, who Is ex-offlcio school director, and the others will not be taken except the recall election be obtained by those working against them. In that case It Is expected publlo meetings will be arranged at which their side of the question will be presented. NO CANDIDATES IN FIELD. What citizens will take the, field against the councilman and the school directors in case the election is held is still a question. It has been hinted that Prof.

E. P. Lewis, former president of the school board, may -be ono of the candidates, but he has not yet stated his Intention In this regard. At the last school board election Elmer E. Nichols and Mrs.
