III—HIM
(Continued from *me.)
‘Ee poht made by hlr. Reynolds at
the last board meeting was that the
members of the board of education
didnot come under the head (1 low
or “y oloers, as with. nasa h see
lion 48 of the charter, which is very
mt. {blindly uni-g each city
old town aleer to be chosen by the
your as follows: “City slicers: A
mayor. seven councilman. a treasurer.
n ch sheriff, a collector of taxes and
assessments. Town ulcers: Three
“lumen, seven constables. two reg~
istrnrs of voters for each said voting
district." No mention is made in this
.aecthn of the members of the Board
of flincatiou.
Had the framers of the charter in-
tended that there should be no dis-
tinction between the city and town
officers and the board of donation.
they would have grouped the board
of education nith the city and town
omcers in one section, instead of stat-
ing the manner of electing members
done in section 50 of the city charter.
The members of the board of educa-
tion are oilicers of the department of
education or school district. the
boundaries of said district are defined
in section 165 of the. charter. which
leads: “The territorial limits of said
city. as herein described, shall be.
one school district, etc.
That the members of the board of
education are not city or town officers
is clearly shown in section 1“ of the
charter, which reads: “There shall be
in said city a department of educa-
tion. which shall be under the con-
trol of nine members, who shall be
known as the board of education, and
shall be elected as hereinbelore pro-
video.”
See section 50 of the charter. which
reads: “There shall be elected on said
first Monday of October, 1913. a board
of taiucatlon of nine members. three
to hold onlce for two years: three for
four years. and three for six years
No person shall vote for more than
five of said members. Said nine mem-
bers when elected shall enter upon
their duties on the first Monday of Jan-
uary, succeeding their election. Bl-
cnnially. thereafter. there shall be.
chosen three members of said board
of education. No person shall vote
for more than two of said members.
and said three members when so
elected. shall enter upon their duties
on the first Monday of January auc-
cording their election. and shall hold ‘
other for a term of six years. and un-
til their successors are elected and
qualified. Said br-:d_shall performv
the same duties and have the same
lowers as provided by statute for
town sc‘hool committees."
In a letter to the board of education.
dated Feb. 10th. his honor. the mayor
refers to section 55 of the city char-
ter to uphold his contention that the
power to fill vacancies. occurring in
thr- board of education. rests with the
city council. and that it is lncumbcn‘l
upon the board of education to noti-
fy the-city council that such vacancy
exists.
Section" o5 reads. "Whenevei any
electite onlcer of said town or city
shall die. resign. remove his residence
nent mental or physical disability or
infirmiti. shall become incapacitated
to discharge the duties of his office.
or shall be convicted of malfeasance
in office. or any infamous crime. or
\i hen any vacancy shall occur in any
elective office of said tom or city.
from any cause. the council of said city
(ccd to fill such vacancy etc." .
It will be. seen that this section has
absolutely no bearing on matters per-
minim! lo the board of education. but
deals only with vacancies which may
occur in town or city-unless. and"the
only reference to a notice being re-
quired is that the clerk of The city
shall give the members of the con.
cit one week's notice of a meeting
called for the purpose of declaring and
forthwith filling any vacancy existing
in a town.or city. once. _. . ..

RAILROAD WAGES ARE NOT

Editor Sentinel:
in reading some of the literature
scattered around by the executive
committee of the associations of rail-
roub. i believe it the duty of every
.mpioye. as well as the companies, to
be fair and, in discussing the wages
paid and hours worked. and stand pat
to the two conditions and be loyal to
his home and family and not cause
any discussion amongst the men on
this movement now on foot for an
eight-hour day, time and onohalf for
overtime. Let's take the freight
brakemau for an example, as i am
.Luioughly familiar with this depart
ment. We will first figure this. the
same as other trade unions. six days
to constitute a week. i believe it
will be safe to say all union men will
average [our dollars a day. 9 hours a,
day or it 2-3 cents an hour. Now, the
through freight brakeman gets two
dollars and 68 cents a day, or about
37 cents an hour. Now, if one of the
other trades unions. say the bricklay
er, or plumber or carpenter. were to
work 60 hours for a week. at this pay.
he would draw about $625.46, get all
his meals at home and have the bal-
ance of the time for himself. Now.
the railroad man will draw ‘ior 30
hours, 318.02. Now 9-1”! §f all

only away from home every other
day~perbaps today in Springfield, the
next trip in Iidway. the next.trip in
Northampton—being o-Atransient to
get board. Say he arrives in Spring-
8 a. m., he has his supper to buy. his
lodging. his breakfast and a meal to
take with him. Now, where. as a
transient boarder. can you get for a
workingman, these three meals and
lodging for less than one dollar and
thirty cents? This leaves the man
$1.37 to cam for his funny and pay.
rent. Three days out of six. leaving
him “2.12 for 60 bours‘ work. The
plumber. carpenter. bricklayer. any of
best: man, have cleared 814.28. for 60
hours‘ work. more than the railroad
man. saying nothing of the hanrdous
lion and exposure of stormy
weather. ’The railroads say these
men (carpenters, bricklayers and oth-
er unions) doni work all the time——
they don't have to Work six months to
earn as much as the brakeutan earns

the railroad llliill draws about 828 a
week. That is the way they get the
big wages‘thcy tell about. Now, let's
see what the other man gets: The.
plumber or carpenter would get, for
road man. seven days a week. a 15
hours a day. 105 hours in all. «is $3
cents per hour. 816.90—that is $18.90
more, torthe same hours worked, in
seven days. Do you say the railroad
man is getting big pay if he works 15
hours a day. and seven days a week——
his pay as a tradesman is thus poor—-
do away. as far as possible, working
overtime. Employes want some time

l have a 1913 model Ford car. Prob-
ably two years ago it developed a
slight knock, which is now so pro-
nounced that it is annoying. The
sound is rather sharp. something like
a slap or click r mulling from north-
lag together two pieces of steel. it
is not the thump usually heard when
a habbit bearing is loose. I have had
all the hearings carefully tested.
They are in good shape. it seems
that the noise must be caused by con-
tact between the pistons and cylindg
ers. Piston-pin bearings are in good'
shape. There does not seem to be
enough play in pistons to cause a.
knock. in fact i have tried to replace
old pistons with .005 oversize pistons
but they would not go into cylinders.
Can you suggest a remedy? Would
an extra gasket on top of the cylind-
ers help? The knock is most pro-
nounced when spark is advanced;
and is especially noticeaota when
more gas is turned on. Have new
rings on pistons. J. 0. i
if the knock is due to piston slap
the installation of over- sized piston!
would not be advisable without re-I

the. cylinders is worn oval in shape.
The next time you how occasion to

to caliper the cylinders in order to

the cylinders are rebored and new ov-
ersize pistons fitted there can be no
piston slap.

The top should be brushed brisk-

done it should be apongod thoroughly
with soap and water. Plenty of soap
soda and energetic sponging should
clean it efficiently. Further than this
nothing can be done without destroyi-
