pointedas secretary.

1 year; Reuben Wilson,
secretary.

MacKenzie, secretary.
Phone service disruption made:
,it impossible `to learn the length
of appointment of the. Hemlock
City and Kintail trustees.
At the April meeting J. H.
Kinhead's plea Was, "What ever
course, you pursue please don't
•. break 'it up 'into • four, little ;pie=
ces:.' This is practically what has
- happened by the turn, of events,
and ' does, not •'seem . to he the de-
• sired ,objective generally. It. can
`,be expected that ' • the newly,
:elected Boards • will eventually
'confer'on. "where do we go from
here." •
