BOARD MAY PICK = Help to Direct Mardi Gr NEW LEADER OF CITY'S SCHOOLS

Three Officials Here Being Considered for Post, Boyd Reveals.

Liquidation of Cumberland Institution Claimed Mismanaged.

Former Cumberland Bank offie clals reiterated charges that liquidation of the bank under the State Department of Financial Ine stitutions is being mismanaged, in a bill of objections on file in Sue

perior Court 1 today. The pleading was filed as a sube stitute for a previous suit in Cire cuit Court in which the former ofe ficials asked that control of the bank’s assets be transferred from the State Department to a receive er. Circuit Judge Earl R. Cox, however, ordered the suit trans= ferred to Superior Court 1 where liquidation of the bank is pending. The new pleading charged that the $1500 fee allowed for appraise= ment of assets “is unreasonable” and that a farm owned by the bank was sold for “less than the real valuation.”

Alan W. Boyd, School Board president, announced today that the board hoped to be able to select a successor to the late School Superintendent, Paul C. Stetson, by Aug. 1. THe selection should be made by Aug. 1 in der to give the new superintendent time to prepare for the opening of schools in September, Mr. Boyd said. Among those being considered for the position are Virgil Stinebaugh, acting superintendent; W. A, Hacker, assistant superintendent, and DeWitt 8. Morgan, Technical High School principal.

Pay Raise Favored

Board members indicated they | had under consideration a recom- | mendation of Business Director A. B. | Good to pay teacher salary increases | up to Dec. 1. The State Tax Board cut $218,000 from the School City's emergency | appropriation. Despite this cut, it is believed, board members will pay the increase, “It is fairly obvious,” said Mr. Boyd, “that despite the State Tax Board's cut, the School City can operate and pay it's obligations up to Dec. 1. 1 believe the teacher

The Marion County Welfare Board is to meet Friday to rearrange its budget for the last half of 1937 to take advantage of a new law requiring the State Welfare Department to pay 50 per cent of County salaries, “This will save the County De- | partment about $6000 monthly on its payroll budget,” County Welfare Director Thomas Neal said today. The law requiring the State to share half of the payroll was passed by the 1937 Legislature, effective July 1. : Commenting on reports that Board members, at a meeting yesterday, indicated they might not follow the State Department's regulations under the merit system, Mr, Neal said: “We will make every effort to conform our staff to merit system | rules.” Plans Study of Exams

Al Feeney, official spokesman for | the board, said ‘any report that | {I would recommend retention on | [the staff of emplovees who failed | to pass merit system examinations is erroneous.” “We have reports that several members of the county welfare staff | did not pass examinations but we do not have the list classified sufficiently for final action,” Mr. Feeney said. “We probably will study the list of eligibles at the meeting Friday.”

Albert Neuerberg, left, in charge of concessions, and Charles N. Herman, secretary-treasurer of the Sherman-Emerson Civic League, are members of the committee for the 11th annual Mardi Gras sponsored by the League. The event is to open at the E. 10th St. show grounds July 20 and will continue for five nights. The entertainment is to include balloon ascensions, amateur contests, shows, rides and commercial displays.

481 Eligibles Listed A list of 481 eligibles for jobs in the county department was certified to Mr. Neal last week by the State Department. There now are about 90 employees in the department. Mr. Neal explained that employees who failed to pass the general merit system examinations last week will have another opportunity to take tests for specific departmental duties within the next three weeks. “The State law provides that special examinations may be held for Marion County jobs requiring different classifications than in smaller counties,” Mr. Neal explained. “Probably more than half the employees who failed to pass the general tests can qualify under classified examinations.”
