BOARD VACANCY
A comreittee appointed by the
Durham City Council to recom
mend a successor to the late D.
Eric Moore on the Durham City
School board hopes to be abl|
to present its findgs to the full
body as soon as possible.
At least this was the opinion
of committee chairman John S.
Stewart.
Stewart, along with Council-
men James Hawkins and S, O.
Riley were picked to recommend
a sucessor for Moore tto the
Council.
Stewart declined to say how
10,8001 soon the committee would be
able to report to the Council,
but he added that he hoped it
would be in the near future.
The City Council’s next re
gularly scheduled meeting is
Monday night. Sept. 30.
Speculation is that another
Negro will be named to fill
Moore's position. Moore was the
second Negro to hold a post on
the board. The first was R. N.
Harris, insurance and real estate
executive, who retired last
year because of poor health.
