SCHOOL BOARD ELECTS PRESIDENT Director Kerwin, Secretary of Old Board, Chosen at Last Night's Special Meeting in Accordance with Precedent Tax Levy of Eleven Mills for Next Year Other Business. The L'aibondale school board nt a special session last night rotnpleted its permanent organization by electing KIchard H. Kerwin, director from the lower district, as president. Sir. Kerwliv was the secretary of the old boaul, and was re-elected at the Spiinjr election. His absence at the or ganization meeting on Monday evening caused the permanent organization to be put off until a special meeting could be called to suit the1 convenience of the new piesldent during the strike situa tion. Retiring President HukIips opened the meeting last night and presided un til Mr. Kerwln's election. After the piesontation and acceptance of the hit ter's "Pi'tlllcate of election, Mr. Cope laiul, seconded by Mr. Vanaan, nomin ated Mr. Kerwin for president.. The election was unanimous. President Kerwin in taking the chair heartily thanked the dlrectois. This made the reorganization of the board complete. An important action of the board was the fixing of the tax levy for the com ing year. It was made the same as last year eleven mills; 7 mills for the gen eral fund, 3 mills for the building fund and one mill for the sinking fund. There was considerable discussion be fore the amount of the levy was deckl ed upon. A summing up of the expen ditures of the year indicated that more money was needed. Mr. Copeland and Mr. Hughes, however, were firmly op posed to raising the levy. They would prefer to shorten the school term by one "month, thus appieclably curtailing expenses, than to increase the levy be yond eleven mills. In the face of the- cir cumstances of labor in the community. None of the other members urged the raising of the levy, though it was sug gested .as necessary. The question of shortening the school year will be disposed of at the next meeting. It was decided to have the annual financial statement of the district printed on posters, to be tacked upon poles, etc., on the highway. Next Tuesday was fixed as visiting day for the directors among the schools and Monday, June 23 was named as in spection day, when the board will tour the district to observe what cluuiges or Improvements about the schools may be necessary.
