no way that we could take any
consistent action toward securing
Mr. Baker's resignation. However
our ultimate action will depend en-

board.”
Mr Baker made the following
statement: "I have not seen the
petition and I am not interested
It is mere politics originating in
the Good Government League. 1
expected it. But I have a contract
for two years dating from July
1930 and continuing until July. 1932

stated that earnest efforts had
been made to secure harmony that
expenditures for the coming year
had been reduced by a rigid bud-
get worked out by the board some-
time ago and that by use of thi!
budget a surplus of S30.000 would be

E. L. Hogan who has been select-
