Several nf tho members of tho

wards arc far from satisfied with Hid
manner in which UlO city Is divided
Into school districts In the ordinance
which passed the common council
Tuesday night, und an effort will he
made In have the board of aldermen I

tho measure.
Those who oppose tlio ordlnnuci
especially the inciul.vrs front thu Sot
olid ward, declare that their section |
of the city |h not given n "square
deal'' lu Hie proposed formation of
the districts. There tire three ills
trlcts, and two of them are composed|
largely of that section of the city
west of the Chesapeake &. Ohio rail
way tracks, with the dividing line at
Thirty-second street, and taking lit|
it part of the Second ward territory
oast of the tracks, The other district|
lakes lu till nl the Third ward u.\d

proposed districts, while tho other
twelve councilman nnd aldermen have
two entire districts."
