Made an Invtestigati`on, This .is'thee climax which has fol- lowed `a little investigation be,Coun cillos Morton, a local lawyieand has caused the greatest political sensation Wingham ?has' yet known, Bejdiscovered while. looking through his-. law books a few days ago that last year's council by tak- ing the hatter into its own hands and doing away with the public school board and forming whathas been known, as the .board of educe tion, .actieed in an enitirely illegal manner in that no vote of --the ret'eeepayers was taken. At the time, strong protest was made against the council's. action, which. many citizens did not hes- itate to call high handed. The mat ter, however, was put throwgh and Ibe old public school board of which Dr. Irwin was a inle?inber, was' abolished. Wen a Big Victory,. On the strength of the warm feelings stirred up among the elec- tions Dr. Irwin ran for mayor and was returned by a big majority. He did not think it r>ieecessery to design from the public school. board judging that as it had been abol- ished, his position just naturally eareeetl. Here,, howeever, lie erred and as a result now finds. that he has bean holding the office of may- or of Wingham for over a month illegally. Will Run Again.. "There will be a new nomination Meed es quickly as•_ possible, Dr, Irwin told the Advertiser Saturday evening. "It will in all probability be held a week from Monday. You can state most certainly that I will ole a candidate for the mayor•,allty again. I am not expecting .any op- position under the clrcumstageces. ; "I blame Mayor Geo. Spotton for the whole mix-up,"' he continued.' "Title council last fall, despite the strongeost protests we could make, forced this matter througlee ' ,. "To say that it was high-hand,�erl is putting le Rnildly. On the strength of what happened I ran for mayor and was returned by a handsome majority. This shows what the ratepayers thought of what was done.” Destroyed Automatically, Mayor Irwin stated to the Adver tiseer that as a result of what bed bapp;aned the so-called board of education passes out 0f existence automatically, as it eves never leg- ally elected. "The old public school board will be eevived," he said. "There are six men to be elected on it, and the nominations will be made at the same time that nominations foil the mayoralty are taking plane. The election will be held as the law clieeets, a week after 'nomin- ation.There are among Wingham electors a great many who resent- ed strongly the board bo i of education idea that vas fenced anthem, and they will welcome the return of the old 'public and high school boards welled :before, as more ap- propriate for the town."
