Houk Reelected School
Head By Vote Of 4 To 1
Byrd, seconded by Mr. Sloan. In
each case, Mr. Houk announced
his approval as superintendent.
Mr. frinley, the new Kranklln
principal, previously ? 1939-42 ?
served in that capacity. He was
discharged from service In the
armed forces last year. Mr. Hill
has been principal here since
the fall of 1944.
Must Give Notice
Mr. Houk pointed out to the
board that the law requires that
a teacher whose contract is to
be terminated must be notified
more than 10 days before the
end of school, and that the
schools will start closing May 16.
He therefore suggested an early
meeting of the board to act on
election of teachers, and the
board voted to hold its May
meeting at 10 a. m. Thursday,
May 1, instead of the first Mon
day, which falls on May 5 Mr.
Houk added that he was asking
the district committees to elect
teachers, to be approved by the
county board and the superin
tendent, not later than April 30.
Suggests Bonds Be Sold
Supt. Houk suggested to the
board the advisibllity of asking
the county board of commis
sioners to sell the $400,000 school
bonds voted in December, 1945,
at this time, regardless of when
the building program is to be
undertaken. He explained that
the interest rates probably are
as low now as they will ever be,
and that, for that reason, the
county might save money by
marketing the bonds now. Mr.
Houk asked that the board mem
bers give the matter thought,
with a view to taking action at
its May meeting.
$43,000 On Hand
He also announced that the
county school treasury now has
in cash about $43,000. He added
that there was a diflcit of $1,200
when he took office six years
ago.
The funds on hand, which in
clude the more than $5,000 re
ceived from the April term of
superior court, were derived, he
said, from court fines, forieit
ures, and fees and from a school
capital outlay tax that has been
levied in this county for the
past two years.
Petition Presented
In the course of the board's
executive session, Mr. Sloan, by
request, presented to the board
members a petition, bearing
about 800 signatures, "respect
fully petitioning your honorable
board to remove the present
superintendent of schools at the
earliest practicable moment."
The petition set forth that "our
schools are poorly maintained";
that "our county superintendent
Is the man who is responsible
... . and he refuses to cooperate
with patrons and civic groups";
and "that he insists upon divid
ing his time between his duties
as superintendent and his law
practice^. ?

mc wai, wnen curD ana gutter
were constructed and stone put
down.
Extra-strength vitrified clay
pipe was used for the eight
inch sanitary sewer. The job
included 23 manholes. The lines
were laid from four to 14 feet
deep, according to the lay of
the ground. Both lines are now
in and connected, and the man
holes will be completed by the
last of this week, Mr. Richard
said.
Will Boost Pressure
The water extension ? a boost
er system which Mr. Richards
said will Increase the pressure
all over town ? will consist of
13,200 feet of six-inch of cast
iron pipe, 4,100 feet of eight
inch cast iron pipe, and 4,600
feet of two-inch galvanized pipe.
The project will add 21 fire
hydrants to the approximately
40 the town now has.
An Interesting feature of the
water main Job is the fact that
the pipe for the eight-inch
main to be built to East Frank
lin will be suspended from the
bridge across the Little Ten
nessee river. It will be hung
from the concrete sidewalk
beams by steel road pipe hang
ers, to be provided with rollers
to take care of expansion and
contraction. All the exposed pipe
is to be insulated and weather
proofed. 1
The bid for the water and
sewer work was $69,052, and
that for the street improvement,
$36,515. Funds for the work
were obtained by the sale of
bonds voted In December, 1945.
