SUCCESSOR TO PUSEY HAS NOT BEEN NAMED-SCHOOL BOARD IS i TO WELCOME ALL APPLICATIONS The naming of a successor to T Prof. E. D. Pussy ag-superintendent -f if the Durham city schools will be lelayed ■ pending receipt by the school board of applications from eligible parties desjrfhg the office, memhurs announced jresterday. Of\ icials of the school board have let it be known that they have no one definitely in nilbd for the office and are open to the consideration of all worthy applicants. ' “We desire very much to reeeive applications frtwn parties qualified tor the office,* a member of the school board said yesterday. “We have not made a selection and do not Intend making one tfhtil after we have given the matter* sufficient consideration/’ this member of the hoard said: -?«• . For some days it has been feter a.1 ly rumored In official circles that Holland''Holton, former county su perintendent and .Ernest J. Green, a former, superintendent of the city schools head the list of possibilities. School board members have refused to discuss Individual, candidates or PARKING OF AUTOMOBILES IS AGAIN TAKEN UP BY COUNCIL Parking of automobtes in the busi ness district of Durham, the eternal thorn in the side of the city fathers! which for some time has been prlek ing still deeper into them,' was again the outstanding topic of the , council. at- their meeting Monday ‘ t evening and several heated talks re ( suited -from it. spoken with con viction on the part of the men tak ing part in'the discussion. /“Where shall we park our automobiles?” was the unanswerable question raised hy the mayor. “Streets were . not put down for parking purposes," Councii ) man,J, %f- Dipscombe declared, “but | for jggypel.’When the question in i volving Corcoran street between Parrish and Chapel Hill streets was voted on, the vote stood S to I in i favor of the amendment to the- or j dinance proposed hy Cuncilman } Lipscombe. The ordinance as amended pro hibits parking in the block on Cor coran street between Chapel Hill and Parrish streets on the west side but ? does permit ranking. The reasons advanced for the change were stated'hy Councilman Lipscombe be < cause of the. congestion of traffic and the danger to life and limb of | the people through the present con 5 dition existing there. It was pointed out that on numerous occasions traffic is held up for the several minutes at a time because of t^ic narrow space left for the passage of ? cars due to the many cars parked in . that Mock. Councilman Car penter and the mayor were out-* spoken in their opposition to the change in the ordinance while every ■* member of the street committee de clared himself to favor It. Since the inception of the city ’ council form of government two ’ years ago, and even before that. the question of the disposition at i automobiles oh the streets of Dur ham has been one that has caused _the city tellers much -thought, ''much worry and considerable em barrassment. Ordinances have’been enacted, sometimes at the request of people doing business in the sec tion# invoiced, making changes in the manner of parking or ranking only to be rescinded -at subsequent meetings at the request of people * who found the new ordinance to be i working hardships on them or who were displeased with it. With the 1 ever increasing number of auto I mobiles, the matter Ip-by no means f. settled ,and the city fathers for * some time to come will probably to sajrwhether the men prominently mentioned are obtainable. It, la known that both men have been talked for the office, bat' the-'Con sideration given them has been of a general nature and the board aa an orgaaintfon baa taken no definite jiction. • i ■ ' r> ' ' 'a "We hope to have a new superin tendent elected within 6® daw." a member of the board said yOatfrday. “This wilt depend,” he continued, "upon whether we can within that ttme'find a man who le,acceptable to the board and Is .at.the same time willing to accept the'office." , The school bgard officials make It plain that they wish to receive ap pllcations from the parties who de sire a chance at the oflkse. To date very few .applications have been field. Whether this is flue to a scarcity of school executives or a feeling among the ellglbles that a slate has been' made la not known. If it Is the latter, members of the boad-d, desire to correct the impres sion ijnmediately. V (nil, ■ I *».■.—...M j»Y«/to wrestle with that knotty problem. The erection of a parking place for automobiles facing Main and Chapel Hill streets, recently completed, is re lieving the condition in a small way. Two long sheds: have been erected and divided Into a number of com partments or stalls which are-rented to merchants, doctors or othqr per sons desiring relief from this form of trouble. Those having space rented there always have a place Wherein to place their cafe. This* will prob ably lead to the erection of other similar places. The question still remains of what shall be done with the automo biles?

The matter was referred to the street committee. The type of paving to be used was discussed by the council, it being the consensus of opinion among the members df council that the best type should be used.
