PROPOSE TO HAVE SOME RESIGNATIONS Taxp Two and Maybe Three Scalps Will Be Lifted 1f the Present Plan of Action Pans Out Al Right. An officer of the Taxpayers league sald last_evening that even though the Board of Education had abandoned the idea of erecting a High school bullding at this time, all of the objects of the league had not as yet been accomplished. This officer said: “We propose now to go ahead and demand the resignation of two and pos- sibly three members of the board. One of these members is Theodore Schroeder. Wa bave evidence to show that Schroeder 1s violating his oath of office by participating in contracts let by the board. Schroeder it s stated, has the contract for the car- penter work at the school house now being built at Forty-second and L streets. Ev dence is being collected by the attornevs employed by the league against one or two other members and when the demand for resignations is made it will be backed up by charges, sufficiently strong, we think to cause the resignations asked for to he forthcoming without delay. Should the members against whom charges are pr ferred refuse to resign our attorneys say that they will take the matter into the courts or file charges with the grand jury. More than this, we propose to ask that two employes of the board, who now hold posi- tions as janitors, be dismissed.” The league holds a meeting every week when matters are talked over and plans 1a1d for the carrying on of the fight against the extravagant expenditure of the funds of the school district Repairs at Hammond's, For several days workmen have been en- gaged In making some alterations and re- pairs at the Hammond plant. A portion of the machinery has been overhauled and new flues placed in some of the bollers. While no definite information can be obtained, rumor has it that preparations are being made to open the house again. A short time ago orders were given from head- quartrs to eell all supplies on hand, such as salt, etc. These orders have been counter- manded and all sales stopped. Bullding Abutments. The building of the east abutment on the Blkborn property near Thirty-second and Boulevard is progressing rapidly. After first being completed this big pier settled 80 that It was necessary to remove all of the masonry and blast out the concrete base. When this was done piles were driven and concrete to the depth of fifteen feet was laid. Masonry is now being laid on this heavy base. At the west pier the work is not progressing so rapidly, but the en- glneers in charge hope to have both plers completed before cold weather sets in. Changing Precinct Lines. Local politicians do not favor the new precinct boundaries as now laid out and it is asserted that shortly after the fall elec- tlon an effort will be made to have both the ward and precinct lines changed. Dem- ocrats and republicans alike are suggesting changes and members ot the council are being flooded with suggestions as to the proper way to divide the city into wards and precincts. Those who aspire to local offices next spring are the ones who are taking the most interest in the proposed change. John Englen Injured. John, the 12-year-old son of Fred Englen, Sixteenth and Missouri avenue, was serl- ously injured on the Q street viaduct yes- terday afternoon.
