They Want A Local Member

The following from the Ypsilantian, will be of interest to many of our readers: "Some days since Mayor Wells received a letter from Mr. Powers of the Board of Education, asking to meet the citizens of this city for a conference on the matter of securing a site for the uew Normal training school building, and suggesting Friday evening, Aug. 10, for the meeting. A committeee of the Business Men's Association will meet tonight to decide upon the matter, and will probably cali a public meeting for the date named by Mr. Powers. It is full time the city moved in the matter and we trust everything possible may be done for the school and for the city. It is understood also, that David A. Hammond has resigned bis position on the Board, and it is suggested in view of all interests concerned, whether Ypsilanti should not be represented on the Board. ïhe University has a local member on its Board, and he is proving himself of great value to the school, and there is no good reason why such a membtr might uot be of equal service hei. This matter will probably be discussed at the meeting." Since hairvest itfoe íarmers íeel very niucli enouraged.
