Will Dig No Farther
Into School Board's
; Disposal of Funds
Tht Real Estate Exchange, at Its meet
ing at noori, decided to dig no further into
the facts as to how the school board spent
the mopey It appropriated to tornado ro
ller. The exchange received the report of
the public service committee and con
cluded it was the sense of the exchange
that there was no good reason why the
organisation should pursue an Investiga
tion and get Into controversy with the
school board.
3. B. Haynea took occasion to deliver
some scathing remarks about what he
called the "extravagance, of the school
board." He roasted the High School of
Commerce, saying that tho school was
turning out a lot of young graduates In
stenography, telegraphy and other lines,
when they were too young to tako respon
sible positions and aro otherwise unfitted
for responsible positions in the lines In
which they aro graduated.
John O. WWis wrote a letter to tho ex
change, urging that a full Investigation
be made as to how tho $10,000 appropriated
for tornado relief by tho school board,
was spent. No action was, taUen on. his
letter.
Baker Says Recall
'Petitions Are Not
; Legally Dra-win-
According to Corporation Counsel Ben
S. , Baker, the recall petitions being cir
culated against the seven city commis
sioners aro not legally drawn becauso
all' names sought to bo recalled are on
one petition.
"I have not gone over tho case very
carefully,' said Judge Baker, "but If It
is true that the names of all the com
missioners aro on one .instead of separata
petitions, th6 purpose of the petitions
would fall.".
City commissioners showed little con
cern about the petitions', believing they
would never be filed because, they say,
the peoplo have no just cause to recall
the entire administration.
''When the people get commissioners in
here who are afraid of the recall, there
is cause to fear for the work of the ad
ministration," sold Police Commissioner
J. J. Ryder. "As for me, I'm not afraid
of the recall. I'll keep .right .on doing
my duty, regardless of such petitions'.
The 'circulators of these petitions have
nothing -on me and I am not concerned
about them."

In the past before city Treasurer Mar
tin's term has been used to sWell these
funds over and above the amount appro
priated by the council as sufficient to

always been used as a political sop to be
used by the administration for adding to
