But I bold that tho day has gone by and that wo have no right to abolish but perform tbo duties prescribed in that law, that to eleot a Suporlnton dent. Mr. Snyder. Doeanot that law ro quire, 7000JnhabItants There are-a great many opposed to tho office. Mr.

Rauch. I think every member has received proper notico as required by the law. I think it Is for tho Board to say now tvuqther to abolish the office or-npt. Shexfc Vndfer.thp act of nssern- PRICE-TWO CENTS President Light. I would not Ilka to entertain it without further legal ad vice.

Mr. Sherk. I would then tfcat another counsel be employed to suit with Mr. Benson, and that meet tills evening. We merely hero to perform a duty.

We Act for ourfelves and if the former board hnd we certainly have nouo now. Mr. Lantz. I think the discussion is earnestly made nnd so fur'as I am con- corned 1 merely wish to understand and perform my duty. President Light.

1 suppose that those who created tho oflloe understood what thoy wore doing. If it was legal then, it is certainly now. Mr. If It is'not legal have a right to abolish Mr, Snvdor. Tho former t'lcctiyii was only made by tho absence of member, and whether ho was bonght off or not is question.

Mr. Rauch. I think it Is entirely wrong to do an Illegal act, wboti'wo know tho former board did commit such a wrong two wrongs do not inuko it right. Mr. Snyder.

It is not alone our party, but both purlieu who aro opposed to It, Tlioy.bellevo Unit tho population is not hero to give ue a Superintendent. Mr. Lantz. Wo are not discussing the population now, wo are discussing whether we have a right to elect. Tho responsibility of doing wrong is another question.

There are 31 schools in town, they require attention, and as wo toiivo but recently served under tho wo should before we act.
