it Is a fact, that has apparently
been pretty generally overlooked that
aldermen and members of the school
board, (hough nominated by wards,
are to be elected at large; that is,
•ill the candidates go on all the bal-
lots and are voted on just the same
as mayor and other officers. Here
tofore each ward has elected its own
aldermen and members of the school
board independently of the other
wards. The provisions of the char-
ter concerning this matter are as
follows:
I he mayor shall be nominated
and elected at large by the qualified
voters of the city.
"The councilmen shall be nomi-
nated from the respective wards by
the qualified voters thereof, and

follow with shallow cultivation every

In reply to a letter from D. S.
Fisher of Boynton, referred to him
by State Superintendent E. D. Cam-
eron, Mr. Taylor says:
School warrants are assessable to
you so long as the title remains in
you, even though you have bor-
rowed money on them and have
spent the money. Had you sold those
warrants outright to the bank, you
would not have been liable for as-
sessment thereon."
