Three men have been suggested | for the onerous post—Runciman him- self (at top of plctures), Lord Devon- port, a Briton who made a huge suc- cess in retail trade vefore his ad- vancement to the peerage (middle portrait), and Lord Milner, who won as an administrator in South under the name of Sir Alfred (at bottom in pictures).

Quigley will make important recommendation re- garding a proposed charter change that will make it impossible for the school board to construct new school buildings entirely on a bond issue, but will provide that fifty per cent. of the net expense be paid immediately out of the general taxation. In ¢ ing this matter, Mayor Quigley stated that some curb must be put on the rapidly growing city ex- penses and he thinks that it is in line with g business management to adopt method. He points out that a private individual was to build a new house no bank would mortgage it for 100 per cent. In the case with the present system, the mayer states that a bond issue is au- thorized and a school is built, the city not cven owning the land. As a re- sult the city is weighed down with an additional burden that the next gen- cration must bear just the same as the present generation is paying on bond issues that have been made in years past. The mayor states that approximate- thirty-nine per cent. of the cit me goes towards the schools and of the 19.6 mill tax rate practically 8 mills is for the schools. At the present time the school bond account totals almost one million dollars, tating almast one mill of taxes ¢ the inter charter change that will it imperative that when a new school is built fifty per cent. of the cost must be voted on at a city meet- ing, the mayor thinks that the public will take more interest in what is| being done: and it will aid in reducing the bonded indebtedness of the city.
