Before Superintendent Goudy’s de- cision had been made, the old board had mswoned the appointment of teachers until onday, May 22" The action of the board at this time will be awaited with great interest.

Viaduel Imbroghio, Several members of the city council who have evinced a very urgent desire to have the West O street duct completed this year met in conference last evening with a committee of properly owners with a view to proventing the bringing of injunction proceedings. It was acknowledged by the councilmen that the damages allowed were insigniticant, and it deyelo council had no power to inc amounts. When this latter fact had been established there was an end to the confer- ence. Attorneys representing Hurgreaves Bros., Buckstaff Bros., Mrs. Kate Martion Judge Hall and 2. 1. Brown are preparing tho injunction papers, They attack the validity of the viaduct ordinance for the following reasons: That the title expresses more than one subject; that the ordinance itself contains a number of subjects and Ordains a number of matters not expressed in tho title; that it attempts to exempt from taxation a portion of the taxable property of the city; that it creates a board of appraisers aud provides for no appeal from the findings thereof, when the council has no authority therefor; that the council attempts to exercise powers which it doesn’t possess. The general opinion of lawyers is that tho ordmance will not stand in the courts.
