The bill was primarily to settle a dispute in Portland, but was made to iaclude IS districts of the first class in the st ile which had no quarrel to pick with the five year tenure of office for a school director. The school board of Salem handles annually abut $130,000 and within the next, few veins will probably be called On to solve the problem of building a junior high school besides the other important business matters that come before, it tor consideration. According to the present law, the terms of A. A. Lee and K. T. Haines will expire June I of this vear. Ilnr ley O. While and Max . Buren will have their successors elected in June f 1MIS and while the law is contradict cry in several points, the general im pression is that the term of Mr. Clark will also expire one year from next June. Should this be the case, the four directors in office after June of 1918 will be called on to elect a fifth mem her of the beard. Section 400 of the bill says that at the next election, (Jane, 1017) that two dirivtors shall be elected to hold office for three yens. Section 4000 of the bill says that' at the next election (June. 1917) two directors shull be elected to serve two years. Section 1008 says that the board shall consist of five members each of whom shall hold office three years, which is again iu conflict with sect ion Optometry Means Eye Service YOU MAY NEED GLASSES m yur eve3 WW and the print blurs and becomes dim when reading.

Section 4100 says that all those di rectors who have not served for u long er period than three years since their liisl regular election, shall continue in Office for one year and that no new director shall be elected, except as pro vided for in section 4007, which section provides that two members of the board shall be elected next spring at the an nual election and two members elected the following spring June, 1018. This section provides that the term of the three directors who huyc not served for n period longer than three years, shall expire at that time (June 1018.) This brings the situation about like this I There would be elected in June of 1017, two directors to serve three enrs, and til June 191S the terms of three of the directors would expire anil two Would be elected, which would make tour members cm the board, Tins law also provides that all vacancies on the board shall be tilled as nrovided In law, which would mean that the four' directors would choose the fifth to I serve for a oeriod of one year. Section 4100 is in conflict with it self. It says that those who have not served for a longer term than three years since their last respective eloc- uui snail cniiunuc in office tor one year and adds in the last paragraph, that the term of each director who has served for a longer period than two years, shall expire at the next school election. It is apparent that the bill should have read that the term of each director who had served three years, should expire at the next election. Regardless of how the bill is finally intet'i reted, it is evident that the peo ple of Salem will be caller on to elect two school directors this spring and two, with I probability of electing three I at. the spring election of 101S. A. A. Lee who is just completing his tenth year as a school director announces that i ne nas served Ins time aint will post lively not be u candidate for re elec tion.
