action look ing to the appointment of the special committee that will select a site and pflns for a new high schooL Before the Legislation had sanctioned the borrowing of the $500000 the mayor submitted a recommendation to thecouncil that a committee of five be appointed The council seemed to be lieve that the recommendation was premature it was tabled In the meantime something was done to ward clarifying the manner in which thq committee was to be appointed The mayor desired this privilege and then it was changed to the mayor and finance committee Last week a leader in the council advanced the pian to have the mayor the presi dent of the council and a member of the finance committee sit in and name the members of this committee It Is felt that in the event that the council has to pass upon the issue and since it will be responsible in the end for the actions of the com mittee that it should at least have a say in the selection of the com mittee It is further contended that the city is represented by the council and not by the mayor and that the committee will be responsible to the people through the council and there fore the council or its direct repre sentative should appoint the commit fee for such an important project It is expected that the matter will come up for action at the meeting of the council Thursday night ire Pump Installed Hatfield April The Barton
