tended the opera last' night, 'received a telegram to 'the effect that Scutari was being evacuated by the Montenegrins. - At the same time, however, a dispatch from Vienna stated that no confirmation had been received there of the reported evacuation.

WILL DISCUSS PLAN ON NEW HIGH SCHOOL
Meeting at Commercial Club Rooms Tomorrow to Talk on Vocational Training Institution. COUNTY MAY TAKE ADVANTAGE OF LAW Agricultural Committee of Board of Education in Favor of Securing Expert for County. A meeting of representatives of organizations interested in the forma tion of a vocational training high school in Wayne county, will be held tomorrow morning In the Commercial club rooms. It is proposed to establish under the acts of 1913, a high school, for the advancement of the teaching of agricultural and industrial work in the county. For the site of the school a lease on a tract of ground contain ing forty acres has been obtained. The ground is located on the Sutton farm between Richmond and Centervilla and it is proposed to teach practical methods of tillage, farming and industrial work. Representatives from the school board, board of works. Commercial club, township trustees, and others will be present at the meeting. It Is necessary to act quickly on tha matter if any thing is done this year as the new act authorizes the establishment of but thirty such schools the first year. The schools may be established and maintained from the school funds or from an additional tax levy not exreeding ten cents per $100 of taxable property. It Is provided that the instruction offered shall be less than college grade: and that it shall be designed to meet the requirements of persons between the ages of 14 years and 23 years. Evening classes for persons C,yerJ7 yera ot age are allowed.. . .Recent acts provide-that elementary agricultural Instruction be given in-the tewn and township schools and that this work be required for admission into a vocational high school. Departments similar to the vocational school may be established in the other schools of the country. ' Committee's Report. The agricultural committee of the Wayne county bard of education this morning reported that. In the opinion of the. members of the committee. It would be advisable for Wayne county to take advantage of the law recently enacted by the state legislature relative to maintaining an expert in the county to have charge of the agricultural department of the schools and to render what assistance possible to farmers. Other members of the board agreed with the committee, and it was unanimously decided that the plan of the committee for raising the money should immediately be put into operation. . , According to the new law an expert will be appointed to have charge oC the agricultural work in the Wayne county schools, providing that a certain sum is raised among the various township to show that the county is in sym pathy with the movement. The duties of the official will be numerous. He will analyze soil and recommend -fertilizers for any persona who may desire. The expert is recommended by the county board of education . and the state board, and Is appointed by Purdue university. It was regretted by the officials that the corn school of two years ago has not been maintained. The excellent work done that year has greatly Increased the efficiency of the farms even to this day, according to Secretary Jordan, of the Commercial Club. The work was under the supervision of Mr. Jordan and Stephen Kuth, and was financed by R. G. Leeds. To Raise Money. The various townships in the county will raise the following subscriptions among the farmers : Wayne, $150; Jackson, $55; Boston. $25; Webster, $15; Washington. $30; Center, $35; Abington. $15; Dal ton. $15; Harrison, $15; Franklin. $30; Greene, $30; New Warden, $30; Perry, $20, and Jefferson $30. The county council shall then appropriate $1,500, and the state $1,000. Five years ago a committee composed of L. S. Bowman, now county auditor, and Will K. Chessman, was appointed to frame a law similar to the one which was passed, an was unsuccessful in having it enacted at that time. Itis believed that this plan will do much toward making farms In this vicinity more productive. Wayne county farms are expected to become more valuable as a result of the action on the part of the officials. Several public spirited citizens have signified their intention of assisting in raising the required money. Bishop Re-elected. . George Bishop was re-elected truant officer. He has been engaged In the work for the last ten years. He was asked to reconsider his resignation which he handed to the trustees last month. His re-appointment was made after he announced that be would (Continued on Page Six)
REFUSAL TO
ACT DN THE Board of Public Works Will Not Take Oiling of Streets of the City in Its Own Hands. HOWEVER, PETITIONS WILL BE CONSIDERED Matter of Appointing an Inspector is Strongly Opposed by Street Commissioner Genn. The members of the board of work this morning, refused to act on tha suggestion of City Attorney Will Bond that a resolution for oiling certain streets of the city be adopted and bids advertised for. Instead. Mayor Zimmerman ordered the city attorney to prepare a resolution for the oiling of streets under the new law In case petitions are presented. Members of the board refused to take Into their hands the oiling of any streets unless resident property owners signify 'their desire for this means of allaying thw dust by presenting a petition signed by a majority of the resident property owners. City Attorney Bond stated to theboard that the members should act on the matter at once, lie asked thst' a number of streets where oil is most: needed, be included in a resolution and bids for the work be advertised for. Although the only expense of such an action to the city would bathe cost of advertising for bids. Mayor Zimmerman refused to acept the suggestion, saying that the city did not' have funds to take the matter in hand' this year. Act on Petitions. "We will act on any petitions which are presented to us," said the mayor, "but we will not taks any. steps ( toward oiling any street, where we, jin't have to. The board has already spnt more' money than was allowed in appropriations." The matter of appointing an Inspector from the street department to make an inspection of the streets before the oil is put on them, was strongly opposed by Street commissioner Genn who says that the con-' tractor should charge enough , to pay an inspector and should agree that the inspector be appointed by the boar dof works. The damage from the floods has drained our appropria-' tions heavily." said Mr. Genn, "and I expect before the summer is over, to ' be out of funds. We are under a constant and heavy expense, first in the spring cleaning of all the streets of the city and later In the repair work which is necessary for many of the streets. I do not feel that the members. of the board, knowing what a small amount of .funds I am allowed ' should ask me to furnish an Inspector to see that an ollning ontractor has his work done right." The street commissioner stated that it would cost between two and three -dollars to properly olean one square for oiling. He stated that all the streets will have been scraped before a contractor starts work on them, thus reducing his cost of cleaning. He stated -that the city has paid an average of f 1.98 per square for the scraping of the streets this spring. It was stated at the meeting that , many persons complain of the dust which is raised while the streets arw being swept In preparation to oiling. "Many persons demand that the street been sprinkled.,, said City Attorney Bond. "This Is wrong, as the streets can not be properly cleaned for oiling while they are wet. They should be cleaned dry, and the people should be willing to stand a few hours of dust in order to have the dust allayed for the entire summer." The members of the board did not take any formal action on the matter of oiling the streets, and they state that they will not. Any petitions for oiling streets will be acted upon In the same manner as a street, alley or sewer improvement petition. The matter will be discussed again Thursday. ' Engineer's Letter. Mayor Zimmerman today presented to the board letters received from government engineers relative to the dam being constructed at North Seventeen street. A set of plans and specifications was asked and these will be sent. It was also stated in one of the letters that means of affording protection against floods in the drainage of the Ohio Taller will be taken up at a meeting of government engineers at Cincinnati Tuesday. Several of these meetings later on will be attended by city officials. The engineers asked to what extent the dam which is being built would protect the valley below rfom floods.
