THE LYALL BAY SCHOOL COMMITTEE
♦- INQUIRY INTO ELECTION TO BE HELD. Consideration was given by the Education Board at its meeting yesterday to a protest received from a number of house, holders regarding the election of. tne Lvall Bay School Committee. The chairman of the board (Mr. T. lorsyth) reported that there were several grounds for the petition. It was alleged that the chairman of the old committee had refused the meeting the right of nominating a chairman for tho meeting, and had taken the chair himself. Another allegation was that the ballot papers provided by tlie old committee were handed out indiscriminately by various persons and not by the chairman, who, under the provisions of the Act should attend to this matter himself. Some persons were reported to have received more than one ballot paper.The board deputed the executive to deal with the matter and to arrange for a second meeting of householders if, in its judgment, the first election should bo declared void. The inquiry will bo held at the board's ofilco on Friday evening, each side to bo allowed to send three representatives. .
